Chapter 645: Plum garden

Since the identity of Lu Shengxiang's owner was put on the bright side, Lu Shengxiang's business has not expanded, but the supply of fragrance has decreased, and it has become more inclined to the group of noble ladies and ladies.
Therefore, although Lu Shengxiang is more profitable than before, it looks a lot low-key, and there are no more people who dare to come to Lu Shengxiang to make trouble.
"How to determine that Miss Xiu is missing?"
"Yesterday, Lady Xiu went to a plum garden on the outskirts of the city to check the quality of the winter plums, but she did not come back today. Miss Chu Chu felt that something was wrong and rushed to find someone. The owner of the plum garden said that Lady Xiu left yesterday..."
Jiang Si curled his eyebrows: "Lady Xiu went there alone?"
Ah Qiao said: "With a buddy."
"In other words, neither of them came back?"
Ah Qiao nodded: "Ms. Chu Chu asked the owner of the plum garden but didn't ask anything. Then she hurriedly sent someone to inform the maidservant. Master, you see--"
Jiang seemed to think for a while, and said, "Let's go to Lushengxiang first."
There are too many possibilities for Miss Xiu's disappearance.
It may happen that a gangster came upon Xiu Niangzi and her buddies by accident, or it was directed at her.
In Jiang Si's view, it is more likely to come at her.
She only dealt with Concubine Qi, and also made King Qi lose a big face. It is said that the first reaction to King Qi is that Prince Qi’s mansion is a bit poor. possible.
After all, it is still a bit difficult to retaliate against her directly, it is much easier to start with Lu Shengxiang.
Jiang Si pondered this, and led people to Lu Shengxiang soon.
Lu Shengxiang closed the door and hung up a sign indicating that she would temporarily close.
As soon as Jiang Si arrived, he went in directly through the back door and saw Lu Chuchu.
Lu Chuchu's expression was very ugly: "Wang Hao, Lady Xiu is gone!"
"I heard what Ah Qiao said." Jiang Si nodded slightly and asked, "Miss Chu Chu, what was unusual about Lady Xiu yesterday before she went out?"
Lu Chuchu thought about it carefully, and shook his head: "It's no different from the past. Lady Xiu is very interested in Xianglu. She would go and see where there are good flowers. This is not the first time."
"That dude—"
"Dude is also reliable, longer than I have been in Lushengxiang."
"What's the situation in his family?"
Lu Chuchu was taken aback, and said: "I asked him to go to his house to spread the word, and his family seemed completely unaware of it. I was anxious when I heard that the person had disappeared."
Jiang Si temporarily ruled out the suspicion that the man had a problem.
Generally speaking, if a buddy is bought by someone, he will quietly settle his family, rather than being ignorant of the family as they are now.
Of course, there are also cruel people who abandon their wives and children for good, but such people are very few and unlikely.
It's not the riches and nobles of the sky, ordinary people greet some benefits mostly to make their families live better.
"Where is the plum garden master?"
A fierce light flashed in Lu Chuchu's eyes, and he put down the sentence "Wang Hao wait a minute" and quickly stepped out of the curtain. After a while, he picked up the curtain and came in again with a person in his hand.
The man was a little blessed, he was a rather wealthy middle-aged man, and Lu Chuchu carried a look of anger but not speaking.
"Our boss is here. In front of the princess, see if you dare to hide it!" Lu Chuchu pushed the middle-aged man in front of Jiang Si, "Wang, this is the master of the plum garden, and he invited Lady Xiu to give a reward. Plum."
Jiang Si looked at the middle-aged man coldly.
The middle-aged man immediately bent over and saluted: "Xiaomin has seen... met the princess..."
Jiang Si was too lazy to be courteous with the middle-aged man, and asked directly: "When did Lady Xiu arrive in your plum garden yesterday?"
"I didn't get there right or left. Xiaomin just had lunch soon."
"When did you leave again?"
The middle-aged man did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "Probably Shen Zhengshi will be separated."
Jiang Si thought for a moment.
After arriving at Shenzheng, if the owner of the plum garden did not lie, then Lady Xiu stayed in the plum garden for an hour or so, which was enough to check the quality of winter plums. It was about an hour from Meiyuan on the outskirts of the city back to Lushengxiang, Xiu Niangzi Shen Zhengshi separated, and there was no problem entering the city before the city gate was locked. From the time point of view, it was in line with Xiu Niangzi's choice.
Jiang Si looked at the middle-aged man blankly, shaking his face with tension.
This is a dignified concubine, really annoyed, will his plum garden be demolished?
No, it's nothing to just demolish Meiyuan, will it be demolished?
Thinking about it this way, the middle-aged man could not stand, his legs trembling.
Jiang Si instinctively felt that this matter had little to do with the middle-aged man, but he couldn't let it go easily, and then asked: "You said that the Xiu lady, Shenzheng, left, can anyone prove it?"
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded.
Witness? This is so good that it is like the official trial case, and there are more people to witness.
Lu Chuchu glared at the middle-aged man: "The princess asks you, but I haven't answered!"
Aman stared at him and shouted: "That's right, your eyes are rolling and silent, are you racking your brains to make up lies?"
The middle-aged man was about to kneel down, crying with a sad face: "Xiaomin dare not deceive the princess, testimony-by the way, Xiaomin remembered it, Xiaomin was just catching up with a few children when she sent Xiu's wife away. Meiyuan secretly broke the plum branches and was discovered by the lady in my family. She was chasing the little bunnies with a broom and ran around. One of the dolls fell down, and Lady Xiu came forward to help the doll up. Lady Xiu is really a good person what--"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lu Chuchu scolded, unable to help but look at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si pondered for a moment, and then made a decision: "If this is the case, let's go to the plum garden and ask the kid."
Xiu Niangzi disappeared suddenly, she had to rule out the possibility of her partner and the owner of Meiyuan first before she could concentrate on investigating other aspects.
"Wang Hao, take more people." Ah Qiao was a little uneasy and reminded in a low voice.
Jiang Si nodded and ordered Long Dan to bring a few more guards, and a group of people rushed to the Meiyuan on the outskirts of the city.
At this time it was not midday, and the plum garden was blooming just right. The waxy yellow and golden fields were very touching.
The flowering period of winter plum is two months earlier than the normal plum blossom, and it is now just the time to be gorgeous.
Jiang seemed to stop and sniff, bursts of fresh fragrance.
Lamei is one of the fragrant flowers for making high-grade fragrance dew, so it is no wonder that Xiu Niangzi came to inspect it.
"Wang Concubine, the children who stole the plum branches have been found." Long Dan came to report.
Jiang Si's eyes turned slightly, and he saw four or five seven- or eight-year-old children, all of them held by adults.
The adults looked at her nervously, while the children looked curious.
Jiang Siyu became warmer: "I heard that some of you fell down yesterday. I don't know which one it was. Did it hurt?"
Several children couldn't help looking at a chubby boy.
The boy flushed suddenly and whispered, "It doesn't hurt at all."
