As soon as these words came out, others might still not understand, but Lu Jinxi immediately understood, and he remembered what He Xing mentioned earlier.
It is said that the eldest master Sheng Hong also came to Baoding.
It's just that she ran into a dispute between the two families so quickly, which made her a little unexpected.
These two brothers, one is in Shaanxi and the other is in Jiangnan, so over the years, others have called them "North Shenglongchang" and "Nansheng Longchang" in order to distinguish them.
When she came to Baoding, she simply wanted to talk business with Shengxuan, that is, Beisheng Longchang, and now she just wanted to see the situation of the business, and she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the two companies.
As soon as the accountant surnamed Chen came, Lu Jinxi knew that he was afraid that he would be out of business.
But she didn't leave, just stood beside her and waited.
Obviously, this group of people here are uninvited guests.
The shopkeeper in the Shenglongchang semicolon with his own semicolon reacted almost immediately, walked out from behind the counter, and asked, "Move out? Our business is running well, let's move? What does this mean!"
"Humph."
The accountant surnamed Chen is not tall, but his arrogance is not low. With a flick of the fan, he snorted coldly first, only pacing in the Shenglongchang store, and speaking without any politeness.
"Your business name? I bah! Our eldest master is the one who should inherit the family business in a rightful way. He Sheng Xuan is an ass! This Shenglongchang, which is connected to the land in Shaanxi, should belong to our eldest master! You dove occupy it. After so many years, the magpie nest should be moved. Anyway, our master will put it here, the time is only three days, you have to move it if you don’t!”
"You, you, you are lying, talking nonsense!"
The shopkeeper was in a hurry, and his voice trembled.
"The old boss was sickened by the uncle at the beginning. He said that Sheng Longchang would not leave him a word! I don't know how many pickled scorpions are secretly hidden, but they still have the face to inherit the family business!"
"The uncle is the direct descendant, and the second is the elder. Why can't he inherit the family business? Has the old boss left a message? Has he made a written receipt? Is there a will? Without you, talk to me!"
Mr. Changfang, who claimed to be surnamed Chen, spat directly on the ground, disdainful.
"Three days, if you don't move, wait until you see the official!"
As soon as the words were ruthless, he lifted his foot and walked out of Shenglongchang again, shouting, "Let's go!"
Those strong men, or thugs, did not leave so easily.
After the accountant surnamed Chen said to leave, he actually walked into the store and threw all the neatly piled goods on the ground, causing a lot of trouble, and then he came out.
A group of people came in a mighty way, but also arrogant when they left, their nostrils turned upside down.
Shenglongchangli was in a mess, the shopkeeper scolded, and the guys were busy cleaning up; the people watching the fun outside pointed and pointed, and they all discussed each other.
As a result, the business can no longer welcome customers.
He simply closed most of the facade, leaving only half of the door to go in and out.
Lu Jinxi watched from a distance, her brows furrowed tightly, and she didn't speak for a long time.
He Xing also felt the difficulty of the matter, so he turned around and asked Lu Jinxi, "Madam, are you still going to see it?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see it today, so let's go back first." Lu Jinxi shook his head and glanced at the frowning guys in Shenglongchang outside, "This rivalry between the north and south of Shenglongchang is much bigger than I thought, and I still have to. Go back and ask people to inquire.”
He Xing also had no opinion.
Lu Jinxi didn't look any further, walked back, and he followed.
Just on the way back to the inn, she suddenly remembered something and asked: "Speaking of which, when you escorted Shenglongchang's caravan to Luoyang, you also said that Gu Juefei also lived in Shenglongchang for two days. At that time, Grandpa Sheng hasn't gone yet, has he?"
"No, it's just that my body is not very healthy." He Xing recalled and said, "At that time, I didn't hear any conflict between Sheng Longchang. The uncle and the second master seem to be fine. I heard that they had a breakup. When I got home, my subordinates were already in the capital, and I didn't know what was going on."
Is this time
Lu Jinxi had some doubts in her heart.
She originally thought that the grievances between the two brothers of the Sheng family had already existed, but she did not expect He Xing to say that in the year he went to Luoyang, Sheng Longchang was fine, and he had never heard of any discord between the family.
Walk slowly.
She thought as she walked back.
I don't know why, but my thoughts turned to Gu Juefei: I came from the capital, it seemed to be peaceful, but if I carefully arranged these old and new things, it seemed that everything was related to Gu Juefei.
Why is there Gu Juefei in the caravan transporting goods from other places to Shenglongchang
After he arrived in Luoyang, why did he stay in Shenglongchang for two days
At first, he asked He Xing why he didn't join the army to serve his country, but then he directly wrote a letter and sent people to the capital...
And now.
The two brothers of the Sheng family split up. Why did he have contacts with Sheng Xuan, but didn't say a word to Sheng Hong? Does he know something about the family change of the Sheng family
Originally, she felt that she had almost seen Gu Juefei through. After all, he was drunk in front of her that day, and confided a lot of sincere words that should not have been said.
But now the clouds of suspicion are intertwined, and it has become blurred again.
This person was suddenly enveloped in a layer of mystery, even more so than when he met him in the side lane of the Grand Master's mansion.
Lu Jinxi lowered her eyes and walked slowly without her frowning furrowed.
He Xing didn't know what she was thinking, but when he recalled what happened just now, he suddenly remembered a somewhat strange detail: "By the way, Madam—"
"Um?"
Lu Jinxi turned his head from his thoughts and glanced at him.
He Xing hesitated for a while before saying: "I didn't recognize it just now, and my subordinates just remembered that the accountant who brought people to Shenglongchang just now seems to be the big accountant of the eldest grandfather Shenghong, called Chen Wenru. Almost all of them stay in Jiangnan to deal with things, and they are not brought out easily."
Chen Wenru
The name is good, but the person is not really worthy of the name.
After listening to He Xing's words, Lu Jinxi thought for a while, but also felt that he didn't quite understand: "According to you, this Chen Wenru should be the person who sits in Nansheng Longchang for Sheng Hong on weekdays. A small Baoding does not have any big business opportunities. Why? Will you bring him out?"
She couldn't understand.
He Xing also did not understand.
Both of them had some doubts in their hearts, and they only had to talk about it after returning to the inn.
But on the other side, the accountant Chen Wenru, whom they suspected, led people to the street in the opposite direction to them.
On the street, the thugs were dismissed.
Then he was alone, pacing leisurely, and came to the door of a house deep in the alley.
The arrogant and domineering arrogance from before has completely diminished in front of this door, and he can't see a single bit again, and there is even a kind of respectful respect with a bit of fear in his attitude.
His head drooped and his back bowed.
Chen Wenru calmed down and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock."
Twice.
Someone inside answered the door and asked, "Who?"
Chen Wenru hurriedly said: "The little one is the accountant next to the eldest master. I just came back from work, and I heard that the master called the little one, so I came to listen to the dispatch."
"Squeak", the door opened.
Standing inside was a man dressed in a grey suit and wearing leggings. He had an ordinary appearance, but he had a fierce aura that he had only saved from fighting on the battlefield.
He glanced at Chen Wenru and said, "Go in."
Chen Wen Ruguang felt that his legs were weak when he heard the voice. Although he knew that the person who answered the door was just a scumbag next to the big man, he didn't dare to underestimate him, and nodded his head and thanked him.
The young man was impatient and his expression was cold.
But he didn't speak, just pretended he didn't hear anything.
Chen Wenru naturally noticed this attitude, so he restrained himself, and then passed through the simple courtyard and walked towards the study on the east side.
There are also people guarding the door of the study.
One is Dong'er, the little servant who waited by Sheng Hong's side, and the other two are holding a knife and holding a sword, all of them are cold-faced killing gods.
Before he even got close, those two sharp eyes had already shot over, and Chen Wenru was so terrified that he couldn't even speak.
Fortunately, the little servant Dong'er recognized him, and he was quite clever. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly said to the two: "Two eldest brothers, this is our master's accountant."
The two of them weren't actually vicious, but their eyes were cold, and they didn't seem to like Chen Wenru very much.
But since Dong'er said it, they didn't doubt it.
In other words, I don't think that Chen Wenru, such a coward, can make trouble at all.
So the sword-wielding man only glanced at him, then turned around and tapped the door frame three times.
There was a laughing voice from inside, but it was very polite and polite: "When someone comes, please come in. After all, it is also a guest of Boss Sheng, so don't neglect it."
Baojian's expression was hesitant, and he seemed to disagree with what the man inside said, but he seemed to have to listen. He stretched out his hand to open the door for Chen Wenru.
Chen Wenru is the most observant.
This time, he stepped forward wisely and rushed before the young man holding the sword pushed the door for him. He pushed the door open by himself, with a smirk on his face: "Come on, come on, come on, it's okay."
The young man holding the sword gave him a straight look.
But that's about it.
Seeing that he had opened the door by himself, he also stepped back to the side, standing with the young man with the knife, and became a murderous, motionless door god again.
Chen Wenru breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened the door, walked in tremblingly, went around the screen in front, swept quickly, and saw only two people sitting in the room.
The next one is a middle-aged man in his forties, and the top one is a scribe in blue shirt in his thirties.
He recognized both of them.
The next one is naturally his boss, Sheng Hong, the boss of Nansheng Longchang.
The blue-shirted scribe at the top is the big man who has been dealing with his boss all these years.
So after just one look, Chen Wenru didn't dare to look at it again. When he entered the room, he knelt on the ground like his ancestors and kowtowed: "I'll meet Mr. Cai and ask you to be safe."
