Rebirth: I Raise a Husband in Another World

Chapter 287 Investigation and Interrogation

After hearing this, Jiang Runze slammed the table in anger and said angrily: "How can this be possible?

Liang Jue, don't worry. Once I find out what happened, I will definitely teach them a lesson and will never let this happen again.

Liang Jue, thank you. Please thank the owner of Hualing Pavilion for me. He is a reasonable person. After all, if the matter is brought to the government office, it will be embarrassing for everyone."

Seeing Jiang Runze's promise, Liang Jue's purpose of this trip was achieved, and he stood up with satisfaction.

Saying goodbye to Jiang Runze: "No need to thank me, what is our relationship? In this case, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

Hearing this, Jiang Runze immediately stood up and said, "I'm leaving now, sit for a while."

Liang Jue: "I have something else to do. I really have to leave. Let's meet again another day."

Seeing that Liang Jue didn't look like he was pretending, Jiang Runze stopped trying to stop him and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Liang Jue: "Okay."

Although Jiang Runze is good at eating, drinking and having fun and is not good at studying, he has a good business sense in management.

Mr. Jiang sent Jiang Runze to a private school, just hoping that Jiang Runze could pass the exam and become a scholar, so that he could change his family status.

But Jiang Runze couldn't learn anything at all, and since he was good at business, he just let him do it.

Mr. Jiang would take Jiang Runze with him from time to time and teach him how to manage the family business.

After all, when Mr. Jiang gets old or passes away, most of the Jiang family’s assets will be handed over to Jiang Runze for management.

Jiang Runze is the eldest son of the Jiang family. Although he has two half-brothers, those two brothers pose no threat to him at all.

Currently, one is two years old and the other is just one month old. The concubines also understand that this family will be handed over to Jiang Runze sooner or later, so they do not make things difficult for Jiang Runze, but only try to please him.

Although Jiang Runze is slow in studying, he is very decisive in doing business.

As soon as Liang Jue left, Jiang Runze's face instantly turned gloomy. He winked at his confidant and asked him to come over.

Those who can become confidants are all very discerning people, and Ah Sheng also has this quality.

Ah Sheng came to Jiang Runze and asked, "Master, what are your instructions?"

Jiang Runze ordered expressionlessly, "Go and investigate what Young Master Liang just said. Be sure to do it quickly."

Seeing that his young master had a serious expression, Ah Sheng stopped playing tricks like before and replied respectfully, "Yes", then turned and left.

After Ah Sheng left, there were no more people in the living room where Jiang Runze was. The pretty little maid was driven away by Jiang Runze's eyes long before Liang Jue told Jiang Runze what happened.

Jiang Runze picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, muttering to himself: "When did Liang Jue have contact with the owner of Hualing Pavilion?

He actually came to me for him. Never mind. No matter what, Liang Jue treats me sincerely and regards me as a good brother.

He is now controlled by others, but once he passes the imperial examination, he will be free to swim in the vast sea and fly freely in the sky."1

Jiang Runze got involved in the family business early on and has a much wider network of contacts than Liang Jue. Of course, this is also because Mr. Liang is a bad person.

If you want people not to hear, the best way is not to speak; if you want people not to know, the best way is not to do anything.

In addition, the owner of Pinweixuan and the clerk Liu Wang took advantage of the fact that the Jiang family did not pay attention to Pinweixuan and failed to supervise Pinweixuan properly.

In recent years, they have become more and more daring, and their tricks have become more and more bold and undisguised. Many people know about it, but they are just too lazy to say it, thinking that it is better to keep their noses to the grindstone.

Now it was easy for Jiang Runze to investigate the matter. Ah Sheng had investigated the matter thoroughly that night.

At night, A Sheng came to Jiang Runze's bedside and reported the results of the investigation to Jiang Runze.

Ah Sheng: "Master, based on my investigation, the situation is basically consistent with what Master Liang said."

Jiang Runze was lying on the bed. When he heard this, his face instantly became gloomy. He immediately ordered Asheng to call Liu Li, the owner of Pinweixuan, and Liu Wang, a waiter.

Liu Li and Liu Wang do not live in Jiang Mansion, so it will take some time for them to come over.

During this period, Jiang Runze called two tall and strong guards, and without changing his clothes, he moved to the place where he usually interrogated his servants.

Liu Li and Liu Wang were confused all the way. They didn't know why Ah Sheng, who was with the eldest young master, came to ask them to go to Jiang's house so late at night.

They were taken by Asheng to the place where Jiang Runze usually interrogated his servants. As soon as they entered, they saw Jiang Runze sitting right in front of them, with two tall and strong guards standing on Jiang Runze's left and right. They were really scared.

When Liu Li and Liu Wang saw Jiang Runze, they quickly saluted, "Young Master."

Jiang Runze hummed coldly and asked expressionlessly: "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Liu Li shook his head and replied nervously: "I don't know, please tell me clearly, Master."

Jiang Runze raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It's already this late, and you're still pretending not to know. Humph.

Jiang Runze snorted coldly and said coldly: "What have you done? Do you really have no idea?"

Liu Li knelt down quickly and said loudly: "Master, I have been working diligently since I took over the management of Pinweixuan.

I never dare to slack off, my sincerity is admirable, I really don't know what mistake I made."

Liu Li was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He thought that what he did was covert enough and refused to admit it. He kept trying to make excuses.

As for Liu Wang, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats and couldn't speak at all.

After Liu Li finished speaking, the whole room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Runze ignored Liu Li and didn't ask Liu Li to get up, so he could only continue kneeling.

The atmosphere was so solemn that Liu Li couldn't help but think wildly: Why did the young master call Liu Wang and me here? Could it be that the young master knew that Liu Wang and I were taking kickbacks in private and selling inferior products as good ones?

That's impossible. I did this very secretly and no one found out for all these years. How could it be discovered now?

The young master must have been deceiving me. As long as I refused to admit it, he would have no choice but to let me go back.

Liu Li had a good idea, but unfortunately Jiang Runze didn't agree to his wish. Jiang Runze sneered and said to the two guards beside him: "Go, force Liu Wang to kneel down as well."

Two guards: "Yes, young master."

One of the two guards forced Liu Wang to kneel, while the other stood in front, watching Liu Li to prevent him from getting desperate and hurting Jiang Runze.

Jiang Runze: "Liu Li, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

Liu Li had a bad premonition and broke out in cold sweat like Liu Wang. He didn't know whether he should continue to hold on. He forced himself to hold on and forced an ugly smile.

Still quibbling: "Master, what are you talking about? How come I don't understand?"

It seems that he has made his choice and still chooses to quibble.

Jiang Runze: "You don't understand? Could it be that it wasn't you, but your nephew, who took kickbacks, passed off inferior goods as genuine ones, and maliciously spread rumors about Hualing Pavilion?"
