"What's the point of crying in the cemetery? His father is dead and he's not allowed to cry a few times? Did anyone hear what they said?" Chen Xuan said impatiently.
"I heard something, but..." Lai Xiao hesitated because Chen Yue was actually the boss's daughter.
"Humph, I know even if you don't tell me, this little bitch..." Chen Xuan swallowed the word "bitch" all the time. After all, this child is his own. Even if she doesn't recognize her as the father, she still scolds herself.
and asked, “What did they say?”
"The people I sent didn't dare to get too close. I just heard that the master was in power in the village, and that he had driven away some 'third uncle'..."
"that's it?"
"that's it."
Chen Xuan thought this was to be expected. He knew something about this nephew. He had been a well-behaved child since he was a child. He was not a troublemaker or scheming person, so he could still handle it.
"In the future, you can find a few more people and keep an eye on him, Xiao Yue, and Chen Qing's family. No matter what they do, they must tell me. Do you understand?"
"I understand, little one!"
"What about the thing I told you to keep an eye on the Australians?"
Lai Xiao was frightened and said hurriedly: "Sir, everyone else is easy to talk to, so why bother provoking this Australian master! These people are so sophisticated. If they see through it, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage to your boss..."
"Looking at you, you seem to be particularly afraid of Australians." Chen Xuan smiled slowly.
Lai Xiao felt his scalp numb and hurriedly defended: "I heard that the Australians are the most closely monitored in Lingao and Guangzhou. Even if it is a trivial matter, as long as they know what they want to know, there is nothing they don't know! Master, please tell Australia
It’s just a matter of people running errands, what do you do if you know too much..."
"You are the only one who is so loyal!" Chen Xuan didn't know why this scoundrel was so afraid of the Australians, so he scolded, "It's true that I'm working for the Australians. But what's going on here... hmm? How many people are dissatisfied? Don't say goodbye.
Well, if you do what you do in the village, if someone comes to that female... chief and tells you, what do you think the chief thinks of you?"
"Australians still count on us to do things..."
"It's true that we should do things, but we also have to let the birds go and the dogs die!" Chen Xuan touched his forehead, "You have to be more careful! Especially now that Chen Lin is in the factory.
, you have to be on guard."
"Yes, sir." Lai Xiao said helplessly, "I'll ask the people in the factory to pay more attention..."
Chen Xuan felt a little irritable and asked again: "You will send someone to Sanliang in a few days to find out the whereabouts of Chen Ding!"
Chen Ding is the "third uncle" in Chen Lin's mouth, the youngest of the three brothers. Although he is not a smart man, he is upright, has a strong personality, is eager for justice, and is very popular among his tribe and villagers.
, if it hadn’t been for the intimidation of the Australians, he really wouldn’t have been able to drive away this third brother.
He originally wanted to label the third child as a "remnant of the Ming Dynasty" so that the Australians would get rid of him as a serious enemy. However, the Australians said that they could not see any connection between him and the Ming Dynasty. In the end, he committed suicide by himself and refused to hand over
The village's clan field account books and atlases were labeled as a "clan element" and that's why they were driven away.
But although Chen Ding is not in the village, he is still very worried that the third brother will find an opportunity to make a comeback. He is very clear about the abilities of the third brother. He is such a gentleman who is eager for justice and loves justice. He will attract attention wherever he goes. Australians are now the best employer.
Now, if he is recruited by the Australians...
For this reason, he sent several groups of people to Sanliang City. However, the people he sent came back and reported that although Chen Ding's wife and children were there, he himself was not at his father-in-law's house. Moreover, he did not find out where he had gone.
.
This became a worry for Chen Xuan.
"I will send someone to Sanliang tomorrow." Lai Xiao hesitated and said, "Master, if we must find the whereabouts of Master Ding, I probably won't be able to find out in Sanliang..."
"how do I say this?"
"He must have left Sanliang and gone somewhere before entrusting his wife and children to his father-in-law." Lai Xiaodao said, "How can we find them if we go to Sanliang to look for them?"
"The world is so big. If you don't go to Sanliang to look for him, where will you go?" Chen Xuandao said, "He can't disappear out of thin air. He will definitely take care of something."
"In my opinion, the place Master Ding is most likely to go to is Guangzhou!"
"Huh?" Chen Xuan regained his energy, "How do you say this?"
"Master, please think that Master Ding knows that Master Lin is in Guangzhou. But he doesn't know that Master Lin has returned to Nansha." Lai Xiaoxiao said, "He has nothing to do with you in Sanliang, so he can only go to his nephew to discuss countermeasures."
Chen Xuan nodded repeatedly. Although Qiu Lezi looked ugly, he analyzed the problem very clearly. Why didn't he think of this!
"Now that Master Lin is in the palm of the master's hands, if the most worrying thing is that Master Ding failed in Guangzhou, he probably won't be willing to let it go. He might be looking for ways and connections in Guangzhou. After all, the ones with the most true talents are now
The place is Guangzhou..."
Chen Xuan slapped his thigh: "You're right! Why didn't I think of this crucial point?" He thought for a while, his family didn't have close relatives in Guangzhou, but they had several distant relatives. When Chen Lin went to Guangzhou, he went to Guangzhou.
Chen Xuan's cousin Wu Yijun.
Maybe the third brother also went to the Wu family!
"How about you go to Guangzhou..." He looked at Lai Xiao
Lai Xiao was almost scared out of his wits: He just came out of that den of tigers and wolves, how could he go back? He somewhat regretted his "advice" and quickly said: "It's not appropriate for me to go. I need someone who recognizes me and is familiar with him."
People with connections in Guangzhou must have some status."
Chen Xuanzai's eyes turned to Lai Xiao, who showed fear when he mentioned going to Guangzhou - he probably had some ulterior past in Guangzhou, and he was probably sued for his life.
It's okay, this leprechaun has a stain on his body, so it will be easier to handle him by yourself.
But if he doesn’t go, who will?
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and remembered a person. This person's surname was Han and Changfu. He was originally the accountant of the clan. He was expelled a few years ago because of his misbehavior, tampering with accounts, embezzling money, and refusing to change despite repeated admonitions.
After being expelled, Han Changfu was still messing around in Nansha. He was also a second-rate figure, so he became very familiar with Chen Xuan.
This Han Changfu has a brother who is also a local gangster and has been messing around in Guangzhou. The two brothers had close contacts in the past, so he is very familiar with the situation in Guangzhou. He also has a local gangster to help him, so he is the best candidate to go to Guangzhou.
.
"Go and call Han Changfu."
After the man was called, Chen Xuan explained the matter to him: "We must find out the whereabouts of Chen Ding!"
"Sir, it's not difficult to inquire about someone. As long as he is in Guangzhou, you can definitely find him." Han Changfu said, "What should I do after I inquire about him?"
"After you find out, find a few people and kidnap him back to me!" Chen Xuan said fiercely.
"I understand!" Han Changfu said, "We just need to give him a few more people."
"Isn't your eldest brother a member of the Guandi Temple? If you give him some money, won't he do it for you?"
Lai Xiao hurriedly said: "Master, you can't do it! Now that the people of Guandi Temple have been wiped out by the Australians, it's not easy to find people to do the dirty work. And the Australians have many spies in and outside the city. I'm afraid they will get burned!"
Once the people sent were caught, they would tell the Australians if they were handed a bamboo tube. Kidnapping was a felony no matter whether it was under the Ming Dynasty or the Australians. If they were implicated, it would be called a clean sweep.
Chen Xuan thought about it. He openly sent people to kidnap people in Guangzhou city. This was too disrespectful to the Australians.
Han Changfu thought about it and said, "I have a way."
"What method?"
"Since he is hiding outside and refuses to come back, let's think of a way to get him to come back on his own!" Han Changfu had a lot of ideas, "Isn't Master Lin back? Let's use Master Lin as bait to lure him back!"
"Brother Han, this is a good plan. Even if the master refuses to return to Nansha, you can still trick him into other places. As long as he leaves Guangzhou City, it will be easy!" Lai Xiaohurriedly said.
"Okay! Let's do it!" Chen Xuan's face turned red with excitement, "You two are worthy of being my right-hand man!" After that, he slapped them on the shoulders.
Lai Xiao secretly cursed that his left and right arms were useless and he didn't give any more money. He turned his face and met Han Changfu's eyes. The two of them suddenly knew: they had the same idea!
Han Changfu said: "That's what I say, but it's hard to say whether the master is in Guangzhou. I'm afraid it will take some time to find out."
"I'll give you three months. You can investigate for me in Guangzhou until everything is clear." Chen Xuan, the speaker, brought over a pair of cards. "You go to the accountant and pay ten taels of silver for travel expenses. Choose two more reliable ones.
Someone will go with you. Once things are done, you will be richly rewarded when you come back!"
Han Changfu thought to himself: I believe you, you idiot! Three people went to Guangzhou for three months and only got ten taels of silver! As travel expenses and living expenses, it is certainly not a small amount, but it is not easy to handle, and you have to spend money everywhere. Although Han Changle is him
My eldest brother, I can't call him in vain.
Fortunately, Guangzhou is a world of entertainment. Now that I have money, people, and a big brother, I might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. This trip is not a loss at all.
Chen Lin stayed in Fengshenghe for almost a whole day, and followed Li Yaoer and Shen Su to visit every corner of the renovated Fengshenghe.
Since he wanted to gain Li Yao'er's trust, he naturally had to do his best in the silk factory. Every place, every process, every piece of equipment, as long as he didn't recognize or understand it, he had to ask carefully about the benefits.
The disadvantages can also be found one by one. It made Li Yaoer's master and apprentice a little surprised: this young master of the factory is really not an embroidered pillow!
After the visit, he returned to the office in the front yard. It was already noon. Li Yaoer said: "Since you are here, today is the first day of work. Have lunch here and then go back to rest."
"This..." Chen Lin really wanted to eat here, but it would be too wild to dine with two young women like this...
