what?
Where are the people?
People from Taiyin Mountain?
How come there are people from Taiyin Mountain in the general's mansion?
Not only Shen Chu was puzzled by this, but even Shang Heng, who was walking behind her, frowned when he heard this. "What?"
The man's gaze turned to Fu Jinnian, his tone filled with doubt.
Perhaps because they were Jiang Fuling's guests, Shang Heng did not speak in a bad tone.
But asked calmly.
Seeing that Shang Heng himself didn't know, Fu Jinnian became even more curious.
"do not you know?"
He looked at the man who had just passed by and was wearing the same clothes as the other servants in the general's mansion, and thought that Shang Heng also knew about it.
But looking at Shang Heng's reaction now, it seems that it is not what he thought.
Shang Heng seemed to know nothing about this.
For a moment, Fu Jinnian became the focus of attention.
He coughed twice to hide his discomfort, then began to answer the question, "Just now, a man passed by us, and his eyes lingered on me for a moment."
"I thought he was just taking a casual look and didn't take it seriously. But when I looked closely, I found that the man looked very familiar. He looked like the bandit my father had sent away before."
Regarding what Fu Jinnian mentioned, it actually happened a long time ago.
If you calculate it, it should be at least three years, right?
This is probably what happened when he first came to this world.
At that time, he was not yet accustomed to his new identity as a bandit. Every day he either stayed in his room in a daze, or ate, drank and slept.
Until something happened on Taiyin Mountain.
There was a man who had a very good relationship with his father and he accidentally killed someone while he was at the foot of the mountain.
Yes, murder.
And he killed someone during the robbery.
After learning about this, Fu Jinnian's father was furious.
Although they occupied Taiyin Mountain and became bandits, they never killed anyone.
Because this was the rule his father set when he set up camp in Taiyin Mountain.
They mainly robbed officials, especially corrupt ones.
Sometimes, as bandits, they would meet poor passers-by and even give them money.
Although it sounds ridiculous, it is the truth.
They are not all evil.
It was precisely because he knew this clearly that Fu Jinnian decided to change their business strategy after taking over Taiyin Mountain.
It changed from robbing corrupt officials to doing things for others.
Wouldn't it be great to directly develop mercenaries?
Back to the main point, the news of that man killing someone reached Fu Jinnian's father's ears, making him furious. However, because the man had followed him for many years, no matter how angry Fu Jinnian's father was, he still couldn't bear to do anything to this man.
Instead, he directly expelled this person from Taiyin Mountain.
It was also because this incident became a hurdle in Fu Jinnian's father's heart that the boss of Taiyin Mountain changed after this incident.
It was also at this time that Fu Jinnian successfully took over Taiyin Mountain and became the boss of Taiyin Mountain.
The familiar person he just mentioned was the man who killed someone and was expelled from Taiyin Mountain by his father.
How could someone with such a background enter the General's Mansion?
This is what Fu Jinnian cares about most.
But after hearing his words, a solemn expression appeared on Shang Heng's face.
If it is really as Fu Jinnian said, then the people in the general's mansion may need to conduct a thorough investigation as a whole.
While talking about this, Jiang Fuling, Shen Chu and others stopped and waited quietly for Fu Jinnian to finish speaking.
Only after he finished speaking did Jiang Fuling speak out, "According to what you said, this person's character is problematic."
She didn't believe that someone could be easily killed for the sake of robbery and that the person had no problems with his character.
"Yes."
Fu Jinnian nodded, confirming Jiang Fuling's statement.
That's what he meant.
Hearing Fu Jinnian's words, Jiang Fuling turned to look at Shang Heng, "Do you know what's going on? Did you personally recruit these people into the mansion?"
Jiang Fuling herself found it funny when she asked the second half of the question.
how can that be possible?
What is Shang Heng’s identity?
Why would he need to do such a small thing himself?
As expected, she got a negative answer.
"No, these matters are handled by the steward of the General's Mansion."
In other words, this person was recruited by the steward of the general's mansion.
"Is the steward of the General's Mansion reliable?"
Jiang Fuling suddenly said.
This question really stumped Shang Heng.
As far as he could remember, the steward of the general's mansion had always been Steward Liu, and the steward had never changed until now.
This can explain a certain problem. I think both the father and the mother trust the housekeeper Liu very much, otherwise they would not let the housekeeper Liu stay in the general's mansion for more than ten years.
But if someone they trust so much turns against them, how disheartening would that be?
"As far as I can remember, the General's Housekeeper has always been Butler Liu. Father and Mother must have great trust in him. As for whether he is completely reliable..."
Shang Heng paused for a moment, his voice not so firm, "I can't confirm it either."
Because he never cares about these things.
And since there was a steward named Liu in the general's mansion, his mother would not interfere.
Therefore, even if this question is raised to his mother, I don't think we will get a positive result.
After hearing Shang Heng's answer, Jiang Fuling's expression turned serious.
"This is just what we know. We are still unsure whether there are other people like this in the entire mansion."
Yes, that's the problem.
Moreover, it is still unknown whether Butler Liu's act was unintentional or someone was behind it.
If it is the former, everything is fine. If it is the latter, then it is terrifying to think about it carefully.
And if it was the latter, then Jiang Fuling realized another thing.
"If this Butler Liu really has ulterior motives, then I think the matter between Chu'er and me would have already been known by the person behind him."
I just don't know whether the person behind this housekeeper Liu is the same person who wants to frame them.
The atmosphere had already started to go awry, and Shen Chu didn't want to break the serious atmosphere at this time, so he simply asked about the business directly.
"Fuling, have you found anything during this period of time?"
It would have been better if Shen Chu didn't ask, because once he asked, it just hit Jiang Fuling's heart.
"If you hadn't asked me, I would have almost forgotten. I've learned a lot during this period."
As she said this, she pulled Shen Chu over and winked at Xu San, Fu Jinnian and the others, indicating that they should follow her.
Fu Jinnian naturally had no objection to this.
