The first thousand four hundred and seventy-seventh chapters
Chapter 1,477 KouKouSouSou
"Really nothing was found?"
Cheng Ji asked his subordinates in disbelief.
And his Zodiac sign pointed to the messy situation in the yard and said:
"Sir, we have searched the entire mansion, even every corner of his room, and even the floor tiles. There is no suspicious evidence at all."
"Where's the study room?
Where is it in his study?"
"There is nothing in the study. They are all calligraphy, paintings and scriptures collected by Mr. Xu."
"this……"
"Eh?
Master Cheng?
How is the situation?
Why do you seem a little discouraged like this?"
"It's okay to look for it slowly, it's just noon, you still have the whole afternoon to look for it -"
Following the sound, Cheng Ji found that Xu Jing was sitting at the pavilion in the yard, drinking tea, and watching a group of them going about their business. His posture was really happy.
Cheng Ji frowned, feeling that things could not continue like this, so he decisively gave orders to those around him:
"We can't search here anymore. Go check out his old shop... Call more people to come and search bit by bit. Don't miss any clues."
"yes!"
Cheng Ji's subordinates responded and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard with their men. They were going to call more people...
As for Cheng Ji himself, he came to the pavilion, stared into Xu Jing's eyes and asked suspiciously:
"You should confess to me. You hurriedly sold the store you have been running for so long because you were afraid that we would find out about your problem."
"There is no airtight wall in the world. If you check you, you won't be able to find the problem. People around you will always make mistakes. One day we will check your head and get evidence that can convict you. If you bring it in now,
Maybe I can ask you to be lenient, but if I really find out the evidence that you murdered the lord's cronies, then you will only have a dead end."
"Haha, I won't bother Mr. Cheng to worry about it now. Xu knows it well."
"Besides, you couldn't find any evidence through your investigation today. It's better to think about whether there is something wrong."
"Conscience of heaven and earth, the reason why I, Xu Jing, bought my previous shop was because there was a better way to make money - Mr. Cheng doesn't know how profitable perfume is, right?
This thing is more real than Shu brocade and can make more money."
"You have tried so hard to find trouble with me, why not go find the problem with your old rival - after all, a slap in the face can't make a difference, do you think I can sell my shops if I want to?
Doesn’t someone have to take over?”
Xu Jing seemed to mention Pang Xi casually, but this made Cheng Ji suddenly think that he had figured something out.
That's right... Liu Zhang said that Xu Jing had a big problem, but when he turned around and thought about it, wouldn't Pang Xi, who took over Xu Jing's shops, also have huge suspicions?
It is said that he wants to make things easier for others, but he has never been an altruistic person. If there is a benefit, he naturally wants to take the lion's share - just for a group of so-called friends, he bought the priceless Shu brocade shop.
No one will believe it.
However, on the surface, Cheng Ji still wanted to act calm and calm. He waved his robe, turned around and left. Before leaving, he said to Xu Jing:
"Hmph, I already know how to check it, and I don't need your reminder."
"You'd better be careful lately, the master is not in a good mood."
After that, Cheng Ji left Xu Mansion.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside the house gradually fading away, Xu Jing, who had always maintained an extremely calm state, finally lost his temper.
"Oh, finally gone!"
Xu Jing's heart was beating crazily. He asked Xiao Wen to quickly fill himself up with tea, while he drank cup after cup of tea.
It seemed that only this could restore his previous spirit.
Xiao Wen was completely numb. He was a small person and had only seen small scenes. Today, the pressure from Cheng Ji and others was too strong. For a moment, Xiao Wen thought he was going to be discovered and lose his head. Maybe
After such a contest, Jing not only was not at a disadvantage, but actually overpowered his opponent. This was something Xiao Wen never expected.
I didn't know that Xu Jing had such a big heart, so Xiao Wen was a little surprised by him.
"Master, is this the end?"
"Cheng Ji has been led away by my nose. He has never dealt with Pang Xi. When the time comes to find out the account book you buried, he will definitely say a lot of bad things about Pang Xi around Liu Zhang - even if
That account book is not enough to convict Pang Xi, but as long as we draw attention to Pang Xi, we will be safe."
"In the final analysis, Xiao Wen, you have contributed a lot to the success of this matter - when everything is done, don't worry, the benefits will definitely be yours. Let me mention your salary - how much is your salary now?"
Xu Jing wiped the sweat from his head and said to Xiao Wen beside him with a smile.
When Xiao Wen heard that he wanted to ask for wages, he became more energetic. He came to Xu Jing's side and answered with great respect:
"Master! It's one or two months now!"
"Okay, I'll mention it to you once it's done! No need to thank me, you deserve it!"
"Also, this yard is so messy now. You and these people should clear it up quickly. I won't come back today."
"good……"
Xu Jing didn't notice the change in Xiao Wen's expression. He just felt that his performance today was too outstanding, and he was really calm in the face of danger.
Seeing the mess all over the courtyard, Xu Jing had no intention of staying in his own house. He only planned to go to the house on the other side... He also had a house full of money over there. He didn't want to sleep among the money.
How happy.
After that, Xu Jing left, leaving Xiao Wen alone in the house.
Xiao Wen was dumbfounded. Seeing that Xu Jing was not here, he yelled at Xu Jing for what he had just done, as if he was still sitting where he was.
"You old man! I thought you knew what you were doing. I've worked so hard for you to do so many things. You said you wanted to reward me but you just gave me one tael of monthly payment?
Good on you, Xu Jing! If I don’t deduct some money from your perfume shop, I won’t be able to get back the money I paid for doing things for you these days. You’ll be stinging me to death sooner or later, hey…”
Of course, Xu Jing couldn't hear any of the things Xiao Wen scolded.
He only knew that he would be able to sleep well tonight.
At the same time, just to the west of the city...
Cheng Ji, who had begun a large-scale search for evidence, finally found a little clue.
"Sir! There seems to be something wrong with the color of the soil under this tree!"
"What?
Quickly open it and take a look!”
His subordinates discovered a piece of dark red mud, less than ten feet away from Xu Jing's Shu brocade shop. How could Cheng Ji not be excited? He quickly called on his subordinates to dig up the piece of land.
As everyone rummaged, an old iron box was unearthed from the mud. Cheng Ji suddenly felt that his efforts were finally in the right direction.
