Thinking of this, the old housekeeper couldn't help but feel angry. He put down the teacup in his hand heavily and stood up again.
"I really should sort out the servants in this old house. I came to Lao Tian a few days ago just for this matter. I always feel that some people have been uneasy recently. I didn't expect these rats to act so quickly. Lao Tian, tell me, Song
Is the prince mentioned by those people in my mouth the current third prince?"
Shopkeeper Tian was still thinking about Gong Jian's problem at this time, but he didn't expect the old housekeeper to change the topic so quickly.
He thought again about what Song Ma had just described. From the conversations between those people, it was not difficult to piece together the name of the Third Prince.
Shopkeeper Tian thought about it for a while, and then slowly said: "The suspicion of the Third Prince cannot be ruled out. But there are also people who use his name to try to hide it.
Has our old club heard back recently? This third prince has been staying in his northwest fiefdom. I wonder if there have been any changes in his relationship with our old club recently? "
The reason why Tianji has been able to operate and become a business giant chaining various industries across the country is also because Tianji’s old owner has an inseparable relationship with many important ministers and princes in the imperial court during the course of several generations of operation.
Most importantly, Tian Ji has always been loyal to the emperor.
Of course, the most important thing here is money exchanges. Although in previous generations, the Tian family had been related to the royal family by marriage, they were relatively distant relatives. Anyway, several princes in the court now have long been with the Tian family.
No kinship.
In addition to supporting the emperor himself, Tian Ji's old boss was very friendly to the other princes and was particularly close to them.
However, it was Tian Ji's neutral attitude that made him the target of various forces vying to win over him. The third prince the three of them talked about also tried to win over Tian Ji's boss in his early years.
, that is, the son of his old employer. But since the owner and his wife were in danger and died, Tian Ji and the third prince have basically had no contact.
Now, in addition to the prince, there is also a seventh prince in the court. Since he is still young and has no fiefdom, he still lives in the capital. This seventh prince also tried to have contact with his old employer. As a result, the old employer has been avoiding this.
The wooing of several princes.
After all, in his opinion, if Tian Ji wants to gain a firm foothold and develop, it should firmly embrace the emperor's lap. His old employer has always turned a blind eye to the little thoughts of his sons.
This was also based on Tian Ji's wealth and power. In addition, the emperor was a wise king and trusted Tian Ji's old employer. Therefore, although his sons tried their best to win over each other, they did not.
, taking any action to coerce his old club, or having already done so, but without any expected effect.
But as Miss Tian grows up day by day, it is obvious that this fatal weakness of the old club has been exposed to the public. In recent years, more and more people in town have inquired about Tian Ji's old house.
However, since Tian Ji employs a large number of people, it is impossible. All the servants in the old house are born in the family. Every year, some servants or nursing homes are still bought.
Among these people, they are the spies who are most likely to blend into other forces. Every time they select candidates, the old housekeeper and Song Ma have to keep their eyes open, and they have to be very careful to identify the good and bad. But even so,
There is no guarantee that no individual spies will sneak into Tian Ji's old house.
In fact, the birth of children in those families is not completely reliable. The servants must also take turns. They cannot stay in the old house in the fields for twelve hours a day. And when they go out, they will also encounter all kinds of things.
Such temptations and accidents may be a small thing, which may lead to bigger problems later on.
The old butler discovered that there had been some bad habits among the servants recently. He also had his own sources of information, but it was obvious that those few people took action before he confirmed the target.
To their surprise, this time they kidnapped Song's mother and the young lady together.
Thinking about it at this time, the old housekeeper and shopkeeper Tian were both frightened. If those gangsters succeeded and kidnapped the young lady, then they would be chopped up alive and they would not be able to live up to the trust of their old boss.
After hearing what Shopkeeper Tian said, the old housekeeper could not help but stamp his feet, "Let me tell you, none of these princes is a fuel-efficient lamp. They are all suspects. But they are also descendants of the Phoenix. Even if our Tian Ji one day
Such great wealth cannot touch them at all. This is really irritating."
Shopkeeper Tian also agreed with the old housekeeper's angry words. This time, the target of these people was obviously Miss Tian, and the other party was so sophisticated that they even blackmailed the servants at home to act as internal agents. They did things very quickly,
This is definitely not the work of ordinary people.
Shopkeeper Tian thought about it for a long time, and finally he felt that the princes were indeed the most suspect. Of course, not only the princes, but also the prince, who was more powerful than ten thousand people, was also highly suspicious.
But no matter how powerful the enemies outside were, Shopkeeper Tian still felt deeply that he still had a loophole in this incident.
After all, the old housekeeper had already greeted him, and there were some rumors among the servants. It was not without any warning before, but he did not pay enough attention to this, which led to the accident of the young lady.
If the old housekeeper had come to inform him that day, and he could have paid enough attention to this point, sent more manpower, or reminded the old housekeeper that this incense-smudging event needs to be carefully investigated, this kind of thing would not have happened.
Shopkeeper Tian couldn't help but sigh, "No matter which one of them did this, we will continue to investigate. Regardless of whether we can find the culprit in the end, from now on, we must pay more attention to the protection of the eldest lady."
Song's mother, who was beside her, also said quickly: "Yes. Seeing that this young lady is getting older day by day, those people can't hold it in anymore."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad. If the young lady was normal, then they would have found an ideal husband for her long ago.
With these people guarding the young lady, they can at least ensure that the young lady has a stable life for more than ten years. After that, as long as they educate and train the young lady's children seriously, Tianji will continue to develop.
They, too, have completed the mission of their old club. From now on, even if they go underground, they will be able to have the face to see the master and his wife. (To be continued)
