An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

The day after Tao Jin left Jiujiang County.

The rest of the people continued to visit Xunyang County Government in the west of the city and Jiujiang County Government in the city. Jing Chunxi's purpose was to find out where the homes of these corrupt officials were and where the money, porcelain and tea they had extorted from the people were hidden.

She still took Xiaoman, Chuntao and Tangshuang out, and first went to find the four largest trading companies mentioned on Tao Jin's paper. These four companies were said to have their own porcelain kilns, and in addition to dealing in porcelain, they also dealt in tea, wine and other products.

Liu Guangfa Trading Company, located in the east of the city, is the headquarters of the Guangfa Trading Company. Liu Guangfa owns five shops in Xunyang City alone, located in the east, south, west, north, and center of the city. He is a dominant ceramics manufacturer in Jiujiang County and has branches in surrounding prefectures and counties.

"Miss, is Guangfa Commercial Bank also closed?"

After hearing Xiaoman's words, several people felt a little discouraged, and Jing Chunxi felt even more disappointed.

Porcelain was a pillar industry in Jiuzhou County, and merchants dealing in porcelain tended to cluster together. Along the way, the Qinji Trading Company, Ganjiang Trading Company, and Xunyang Porcelain Shop, all of which Tao Jin had mentioned, were closed.

There are many shops along the street, but few are open. Occasionally, you'll see an elderly person sitting in front of a shop, the door ajar, not intending to welcome customers.

It was completely different from the bright lights and bustling streets I saw the night before.

They walked all the way to another street corner. When they saw a three-story shop with six shops connected together and a sign on the door that read "Liu Guangfa Trading Company", they were still turned away.

Everyone felt disappointed.

"I'll knock on the door."

Frosting walked towards the middle door with a huff. Jing Chunxi did not stop her and let her go, but he did not hold any hope in his heart.

Sure enough, after taking pictures for a long time, there was no movement in the shop.

Only when his hands turned red did he stop clapping, and he turned around and asked Jing Chunxi: "Master, what should we do?"

"Switch the slave."

Without waiting for the lady to answer, Chuntao also ran over, and Jing Chunxi tried to pull her back but failed.

"Where are you from? What are you doing?" No one answered the door at Liu Guangfa Trading Company, but the knocking attracted an old lady from the shop next door.

She was sitting by her door, doing needlework.

They seemed relatively young and didn't look like bad people. Instead, they looked like they were looking for someone, so my mother-in-law asked.

Jing Chunxi quickly turned around and walked a few steps over to ask, and Xiaoman quickly followed.

Jing Chunxi asked in a gentle tone, "Mother-in-law, why is this shop closed? Did Mr. Liu leave the city too?"

My mother-in-law had a bit of a bad temper, and suddenly responded in a bad mood: "Run! Where can he run to? His family has been in Jiujiang for generations, and all the property is here."

After finally finding someone to question, Xiao Man, fearing that she would upset her mother-in-law, hurried forward and bowed, "Mother-in-law, we have something to ask Mr. Liu. I wonder where we can find him."

The mother-in-law looked them up and down. They didn't look like they were here to extort money, but their age didn't look like they were businessmen either. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you related to him?"

Xiao Man hesitated for a moment and didn't answer. Jing Chunxi smiled and said, "It's just a relationship. We should call him uncle. The elders in the family asked us to come over and say hello."

Hearing this, the mother-in-law seemed to be happy, and her eyes narrowed. Looking at her expression, it was clear that the two families must have a good relationship.

My mother-in-law said, "Your elders are very thoughtful, but I don't know if Mr. Liu is at home or where he is. But I heard that several of his shops have closed down. He must have gone back to the village first!"

I saw the shop owner come here a few days ago, but he must have taken something and left again."

Jing Chunxi seemed to suddenly come to his senses and said anxiously, "The elders forgot to tell us where Liu Dongjia's hometown is before they left. If it's nearby, it wouldn't be a problem to go there."

Grandma shook her head, looking at Jing Chunxi's grown-up response, and added, "Even if you want to go, you can't walk there. I advise you not to go. It's far. I heard it's more than ten miles east of the city. It's in a village next to Gantang Town. I don't know the exact name of the village."

"East of the city? Is it more than ten miles away from the city gate? Gantang Town!" Jing Chunxi became excited when he heard that it was in the east of the city. Isn't it the east gate where there are no yamen runners or soldiers guarding it?

There was a hint of joy in Xiao Xiaoman's eyes, but it didn't show on her face. She even covered her mouth with her hands towards Jing Chunxi.

At this time, Chuntao and Tangshuang also came over. Xiaoman was afraid that they would talk nonsense with her mother-in-law, so she quickly said, "That's a pity. We won't go. Thank you, mother-in-law."

The old woman smiled and said, "It's just a few questions, there's no need to thank me. You should go back quickly. This world is too chaotic. I see you are not from a poor family, so don't let anyone rob you."

The few of them said goodbye to the old woman without comment. When they walked out of the intersection, they saw that the guards had driven the car not far ahead. Jing Chunxi hurriedly urged Chuntao and Tangshuang to get in the car.

When Xiaoman came up, the guards thought she would leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, Jing Chunxi said, "Xiao Man, go into the backyard of the shop and see what's going on inside. We'll wait for you at the intersection outside."

Xiaoman had been itching to walk for a while because she hadn't practiced walking for so long. As soon as she got the message, she jumped out of the car and ran straight to the back of the shop.
