Chapter 217 Going to Qian Yuanwai's Mansion
It was still early when they arrived at the county, so they went to inquire about the news about Azhi and Qian Yuanwai's mansion.
You don't know until you ask. Once you ask, you'll be shocked to find that there is no big news in Mr. Qian's mansion.
Then why can’t Azhi be contacted?
"Dad, how about you send someone to Mr. Qian's house to deliver a message and see if we can find out any news about Brother Azhi." Zhao Shiying also felt strange.
It is impossible for a living person to disappear like this. He must have been placed under house arrest or left the county. However, Azhi was bought by Mr. Qian as his son, so how could he be sent away? As for house arrest, what did Azhi's brother do that made Mr. Qian place him under house arrest?
Zhao Shiying thought about it but couldn't think of any good solution.
"I think I should go there myself. I just happened to bring some things with me to give to him." Zhao Guocheng took a look at the things on the ox cart.
"The last time your New Year gift was returned, it means that people know you. If you go again...how about we find someone we trust?" Wang Ronghua said.
"Who can I find then?" Zhao Guocheng frowned.
"Mom and Dad, how about we check whether our uncle has left the county? If not, we can ask him to go there?" Zhao Shisheng said.
"Will this.....t be too much trouble for Yue Shan? After all, he will be going to the capital to take the exam soon. Would it be bad for us to disturb him like this?" Zhao Guocheng hesitated.
"Do you have anyone you can trust?" Wang Ronghua asked. In fact, she didn't want to distract her brother.
"Let's go directly to Manager Wang to find out." Zhao Guocheng said.
"Okay." Wang Ronghua nodded. She had not thought of looking for Shopkeeper Wang, otherwise she would have looked for him at the beginning. But she did not expect that after asking around, she would not find any information.
Several people hurried to Fumanlou.
Find Manager Wang and ask about Mr. Azhi from Yuanwai Qian's mansion.
"You are talking about Master Azhi from Mr. Qian's mansion. I have heard a few words about him. I happened to overhear him when a guest came to my restaurant for dinner. I heard that Master Azhi was under house arrest. I am not sure what the details were. How come you know Master Azhi?" asked Manager Wang curiously.
"We know each other by fate. He once helped our family. I wanted to give him something to show my gratitude, but the servant guarding the gate of Mr. Qian's mansion refused. So I came to you to find out what's going on." Zhao Guocheng said with a frown.
When everyone heard this, they were like, house arrest? ? Why?
"Dad, let's go directly to Yuanwai Qian's house to find Brother Azhi." Zhao Shiying felt that Brother Azhi must be in a very bad situation.
"Let's go without further ado." Zhao Guocheng nodded, not caring about anything else at this moment.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, wait, you guys are going to Mr. Qian's house later. Why don't I go with you? Mr. Qian can at least give me some face." Shopkeeper Wang said.
"Thank you very much." Zhao Guocheng bowed.
"You're welcome. Let's go." After saying this, Shopkeeper Wang gave a few instructions to the shop assistants, then got in a carriage and followed behind Zhao Guocheng's ox carriage to Yuanwai Qian's mansion.
"Boss, do you think our daughter should hide for a while?" Wang Ronghua asked.
"I don't think it's necessary. What happened back then was so long ago. It is said that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Seriously speaking, we have nothing to do with Mr. Qian. Anyway, my eldest brother has been punished. Let's just forget about it. Azhi is in trouble now, we can't just stand by and watch him die. Seriously speaking, Azhi is not Mr. Qian's biological son. If it were Mr. Qian..." Zhao Guocheng stopped here. He couldn't think about it, or else smoke would come out of his head.
"Dad, I want to go. If Brother Azhi is in danger, we must rescue him." Zhao Shiying frowned.
She must go and save brother Azhi.
"Perhaps the situation is not as serious as we thought. Don't think too much about it. We will know when we get there. Isn't Manager Wang going with us?" Zhao Shisheng analyzed rationally.
"Yes, Shengzi is right." Wang Ronghua nodded.
Arrived at the gate of Yuanwai Qian’s mansion.
Zhao Guocheng got off the ox cart first, drove the cart aside, and then came to the gate with Manager Wang.
"Hey, Manager Wang, what brings you here?" The gatekeeper saw that Zhao Guocheng ignored him. He knew this man. He came to give New Year gifts before the New Year, but was rejected by his master. He didn't expect that he still had the courage to come now.
Turning around again, I saw Manager Wang of Fumanlou.
This was a rare guest, so they immediately changed their attitude towards him.
"Please inform Mr. Qian that Mr. Wang is here to bother you with something!" Shopkeeper Wang said politely.
"Okay, okay, wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon." The gatekeeper said and hurried inside, while another person stood guard at the door. No one could enter without the master's permission.
Soon the servant arrived.
"The master invites you."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded and took Zhao Guocheng in.
The others were waiting outside, and of course Zhao Guocheng was holding something for Azhi.
Now the servant couldn't say anything.
After all, Manager Wang wanted to bring people in, and he, a servant, didn't dare to say anything.
Anyway, I have reported it to the master, I hope he will not be punished.
This time, Zhao Shiying was very sensible and did not think about going in. She knew that she could only go in because of Manager Wang, and she knew that she should not cause trouble for her parents.
Several people were waiting on a bullock cart.
"Manager Wang, you are a rare guest, but I wonder what you want to see me about?" Mr. Qian smiled when he saw Manager Wang, then turned to look at Zhao Guocheng.
Didn't say anything in particular.
"Mr. Qian, I'm really sorry to bother you. Brother Zhao and I are in a cooperative relationship. Brother Zhao said he wanted to come and see the young master in your mansion to give him something. I happened to have something to do with Mr. Qian too, and we bumped into each other outside, so we just happened to come here together." Shopkeeper Wang was also very particular about his words.
"Oh, you know my son?" Mr. Qian looked at Zhao Guocheng.
"To answer your question, yes, you have helped me before, and I am very grateful. I wanted to send something to your house before the New Year, but I didn't receive the letter. This time I came here specially to see Master Azhi and give him the gift I sent to him." Zhao Guocheng said.
"Oh? I'm interested. Go and call the young master." Mr. Qian smiled.
Soon a servant went to call Azhi.
"Manager Wang, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly." Mr. Qian said. After all, he didn't take Zhao Guocheng seriously at all.
"Mr. Qian, you may not know that I got two jars of the wine you told me about last time. Although the quantity is not much, it can solve Mr. Qian's urgent need. I wonder if Mr. Qian will find it too little?" Shopkeeper Wang asked tentatively.
"Haha...of course not. I'll take as many as you can get. Where are they?" Mr. Qian said happily.
Shopkeeper Wang signaled the servant who followed him in to come forward. He held two jars of wine in his hands. Although they didn't look big, each jar weighed two kilograms.
"Very good, very good. Thank you, Manager Wang, for still thinking of me. If you have such good things in the future, just send them to my house." Mr. Qian said with a smile.
Now I am really happy.
Zhao Guocheng was a little confused. His wine was the favorite of Mr. Qian?
