It takes time to find someone, and the matter of choosing a shop cannot be delayed. After discussing with Yu Atu, Shi Chunfen decided to tell Chu Shun's plan to Chu Run and listen to his opinions.
Chu Run took the drawing and didn't see the problem either, but he recognized the location of the shop. "I've been to this shop before, and it happens to be one of the options I'm looking for."
"Oh? Such a coincidence?" Shi Chunquin was a little surprised, "Does that mean the conditions of this shop are indeed very good?"
Chu Run nodded, "Yes, there is almost nothing wrong with it, and the price is also very suitable. Logically speaking, a shop like this should not be vacant for a long time, but it seems that it has not been sold for two years."
"Two years?" Shi Chunquin vaguely felt that this time was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell why it was strange.
"Then should we take advantage of the trick and buy this shop?" Shi Chunquin asked.
Chu Run fell silent, obviously thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
It is equivalent to knowing that there is a trap ahead, but you still have to jump into it, but if you don't jump, you may not guess where the next trap is.
If you choose both paths together, the former has a higher probability of winning.
"You can buy this shop." Chu Run said decisively: "But not in our name."
Shi Chunquin narrowed his eyes, "Okay, I understand."
If there is something fishy about this store, the person who bought it will ultimately be responsible. As long as they ensure that they are not the one who dealt with it, the trouble will not befall them.
After chatting about the shop, Shi Chunquin brought up Yu U-Tu's matter again, "U-Tu's side... I plan to let her stay temporarily."
Chu Run frowned, but had no objection, "Just decide."
After all, what happened to Yu Atu was because he decided to drive her back to Liuzhou. Now that she had an accident and became a victim, it would be unkind for him to insist on sending her back.
Shi Chunquin knew what he was worried about and said proactively: "Don't worry, Usagi will stay at the inn honestly from now on and it won't affect your reputation."
Hearing her say this, Chu Run was a little amused, "In your eyes, am I someone who only values my reputation?"
When the Spring Equinox fell silent, no words were spoken.
Maybe not, but compared to Yu Atu, his reputation is obviously more important.
Chu Run's smile faded and he stood up directly, "I'd better check out what's weird about that shop. If we can't find out, we'll buy it directly."
"Yeah." Shi Chunquin nodded and watched him leave the inn.
Because he had a target, it was obviously much easier for Chu Run to investigate again.
After only going there for one afternoon, he had already gained something. "There is nothing weird about that shop on the surface, but I asked the people around it and they said that this shop was targeted by some bandits who fled from Qingzhou.
If someone wants to buy, they will try every means to cause trouble, and even secretly murder the buyer. The seller reported it to the authorities several times, but nothing happened because they could not catch the mastermind."
"Bandits again?" Shi Chunfen frowned, feeling that some things were connected in his mind, but he had no clue. "I remembered that it was exactly two years since the drought in Qingzhou, and this shop also happened to be
From that point on, it couldn’t be sold.”
Chu Run was stunned for a moment and looked at her in confusion, "How do you know about the drought in Qingzhou?"
Shi Chunfen also knew that he could no longer hide the matter, so he had no choice but to tell him what he had found out behind his back.
After Chu Run heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly, "You mean... what happened to Usagi was also done by those bandits?"
Shi Chunfen nodded quickly, "I originally thought that this matter was just caused by Usagi's rude words, but I didn't expect that there was the possibility of Second Uncle's involvement. If these bandits colluded with Second Uncle, then why did they kidnap
Where's Usagi? Isn't Usagi with my second uncle?"
Chu Run narrowed his eyes, "They are indeed in the same group, but they may not know it."
Not to mention that Liuzhou and Shuzhou are so far apart, and the information transmitted is prone to errors. Chu Shun would not specifically tell the bandits who is on his side and who is his enemy. This is not only easy.
Exposing yourself may also give the bandits a clue.
When he said this, Shi Chunfen understood, "Perhaps those people have been secretly watching us for a long time, and Usagi happened to offend them with his rude remarks, so they decided to attack Usagi first to give us a blow."
This guess is reasonable, but Chu Run's expression becomes more solemn, "If those bandits came prepared, then our situation will be very dangerous."
Chu Shun's target is obviously Shi Chun Equinox, but nothing has happened to her now, which means that the bandits haven't officially taken action yet.
It couldn't be easier for a woman to be targeted by a bandit than to do something to destroy her. Shi Chun Equinox's current situation is really worrying.
Shi Chunfen also realized this, and the smile on his face faded, "What should we do? Should we leave Shuzhou immediately?"
Chu Shun shook his head, "Leaving Shuzhou means that we already know their plan. They may attack on the road instead. Not only will you be in danger, but Utu will not be able to explain to my father."
Seeing him taking the initiative to mention Yu Atu, Shi Chunquin was inexplicably relieved, "Do you believe she is innocent?"
Chu Run smiled bitterly, "I admit that I am a bit narrow-minded, but if it were another man, he might not be able to do as well as me."
Although he didn't say who the other man was, Shi Chunfen still thought of Chu Ling inexplicably.
What would Chu Ling do if something happened to her?
She remembered that she had been unjustly accused of committing adultery with her second cousin. Although Chu Ling did not say anything explicitly at that time, he vaguely reminded her to keep a distance from her two cousins. She was treated like this just because she was wronged.
I dare to imagine how Chu Ling would treat her if something happened to him.
"You're right." Shi Chunfen lowered his eyes, "You do better than most men."
Seeing that she suddenly became depressed, Chu Run's expression was a little thought-provoking, "You have been in Shuzhou for so long, and you don't even have a message from your eldest cousin?"
When Chunfen came back to his senses, he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I wrote to him to tell him not to worry about me. It's rare that I can be alone. I don't want to be controlled by him!"
She said it so naturally, but she didn't know how unsure she looked.
Chu Run was too lazy to expose it and quickly changed the subject, "I have to visit the prefect of Shuzhou overnight."
"Oh?" Shi Chunfen responded quickly, "You want to seek protection from the government?"
Chu Run nodded, "This is the only way, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure your safety with just the few followers we bring."
