Chapter 355 It's getting more and more troublesome

Qin Yan wanted to be a thief who traveled thousands of miles without leaving any trace since she was young. For a thief, eyesight and skills are equally important. Yang Yiyi walked over and saw that it was really a jade pendant.

However, the jade pendant was covered with oil and mud, and it was already patina. The tassels of the jade pendant could not see the original color, and it also exuded a very clear sour smell.

This thing would not feel out of place if it was thrown into a cesspool.

Yang Yiyi had to contribute a handkerchief to wrap the jade pendant and picked it up. She wiped it hard and barely saw the original appearance of the jade pendant.

This thing is a round piece of white jade, with the word "Du" engraved on one side and green bamboo and flowing water engraved on the other side. I don't know what the meaning is.

Yang Yiyi didn't quite understand why there was a jade pendant left behind, Qin Yan thought for a while and said:

"Maybe Senior Du also wants to solve the problem between the Wen and Qing families, so he left the jade pendant as a proof."

"But he himself doesn't want to enter the city."

"Maybe he wants us to solve it..."

Qin Yan is not very sure, after all, there is no way to predict a madman.

It feels like this matter seems to be getting more and more troublesome.

In any case, Du Chun ran away, and the two had no other way, so they could only take the jade pendant back to the city to find Tang Lianyu.

The eldest lady of the Tang family was not in the inn. After she sent the task to Yang Yiyi, she returned to her own big ship and was currently docked at the dock.

The two went to the side of the boat to find the servants to explain their purpose, and soon saw Tang Lianyu again.

"The two ladies came back so soon? Is there any news from Senior Du?"

"I don't know if it counts as..."

Yang Yiyi told the story again and took out the jade card again.

Tang Lianyu's first reaction was to step back half a step. She instinctively didn't want to get close to such filth, but when she looked carefully and saw the word "Du" on it, she immediately realized that it was left by Senior Du.

"It was a bit unexpected that the Thousand-Faced Fierce Phoenix was in the city. I thought Senior Du just didn't want to enter the city."

"He said the city stinks..."

"Senior Du just hates the smell of rouge and powder. Most women in the city use it, so he doesn't want to come in."

Tang Lianyu seemed to know Du Chun very well, maybe there was some origin.

"What should we do now? Without Senior Du's appearance, is there any way for the Wen and Qing families to reconcile?"

After a moment of silence, Tang Lianyu said:

"Please go again and take my name card and Senior Du's jade pendant to the Wen and Qing families to discuss it."

This made Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan a little puzzled. Shouldn't Tang Lianyu go in person to show his sincerity?

"I have something else to do. I will find you later."

Yang Yiyi helped just to repay Tang Lianyu's favor, but she didn't expect it to become more and more troublesome.

I don't know what Tang Lianyu is up to, but it's not very nice to just walk away now.

So the two of them had no choice but to nod.

–--——----

The Wen and Qing families are famous families in Sicheng, one lives in the east and the other in the west. Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan first went to the Wen family, which is closest to the dock.

The place is not difficult to find. Just ask passers-by and you can find the way. You can present Tang Lianyu's visiting card at the door.

The eldest lady of the Tang family is indeed a bit famous. Immediately, a servant came out to welcome the two of them with the etiquette of welcoming distinguished guests.

The two of them sat down in the front hall and just drank a sip of tea, and one of the middle-aged men who yelled in the inn not long ago came out with a smile.

This man's name is Wen Peng, Wen Yun's biological father, and the helmsman of the Wen family.

When he saw Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan in the front hall, the smile on his face froze immediately. After all, he didn't have Alzheimer's disease. Not long ago, Yang Yiyi came out to smooth things over in the inn.

I was a little puzzled why these two people came to my house with the name card of the eldest lady of the Tang family, but since they were guests, Wen Peng was just a little stunned and then returned to normal.

"Why did the two ladies come to my house this time?"

"To be honest, we are here to settle the feud between the Wen and Qing families."

Upon hearing this, Wen Peng immediately snorted:

"If this is the reason, I will not say more, please send the guests away."

"Please be patient and take a look at this."

Qin Yan took out the jade pendant and placed it on the table. Wen Peng, who was furious, took a look and was immediately surprised:

"Is it the jade pendant of Senior Du? Where did you get it from?"

This thing actually worked. Yang Yiyi explained:

"In the mountain temple outside the city, we actually Miss Tang entrusted me to find Senior Du, hoping that he could personally come forward to act as a peacemaker and settle the grievances between the two families, but the old senior was unwilling to enter the city, so he left a jade pendant. "

The servant who came in after hearing the voice was waved away by Wen Peng, and he immediately said:

"I know Miss Tang has good intentions, but the grievances between our two families cannot be explained in one or two words."

The two families are competitors in the silk business, and not only in business, but also in normal times. They have been entangled for hundreds of years. Who would believe that they can forget their grievances with a smile?

"It is precisely because the grievances have been accumulated for a long time that they should be resolved as soon as possible. If future generations are always hostile to each other, what good will it do? "

It is better to resolve the grievances than to make them. This principle is universal everywhere.

Wen Peng thought for a while, snorted and said:

"Hmph, if Qing Linhong comes to apologize in person, I am not an unreasonable person, but no matter what, my Wen family cannot be lower than the Qing family. "

The Wen and Qing families are not stupid, but the grievances have been going on for hundreds of years, and no one is willing to bow their heads first.

Seeing Wen Peng's tone soften, Qin Yan said:

"One slap can't make a difference. If there is a chance for reconciliation between the two families, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?"

Qin Yan's original intention was to give both parties a step down, but Wen Peng said after hearing this:

"Since the two heroines came to the humble abode at the invitation of Miss Tang, they must have heard about the recent murder case between our two families. If we can solve it, it will be an opportunity."

Wait, why does this sound weird?

Qin Yan suddenly felt that Wen Peng seemed to be waiting for the person who could handle this matter to appear, and it felt like he was using the topic as an excuse.

Yang Yiyi was not as thoughtful as Qin Yan. When she heard what Wen Peng said, she immediately said:

"I've heard a little bit about this, but I don't know the details."

Just saying that means you agreed!

Qin Yan secretly cursed her teammates. She had a vague feeling that the conflict between Wen Qing's family and Tang Lianyu's request for them to come was not as simple as it seemed.

When walking in the world, the most important thing is not to accept anything casually. Yang Yiyi is a typical example who has little experience in the world.

Wen Peng seemed to be waiting for Yang Yiyi to ask questions, and immediately said:

"The deceased were an accountant from my family and a boy from the Qing family. Although our two families had grudges against each other, there had never been any fatalities before."

Yang Yiyi heard this and said without thinking:

"Senior Du said that the Thousand-Faced Phoenix was in the city, could it be her fault?"

When Wen Peng heard this, he almost knocked over his tea bowl.

The reputation of the Thousand Faced Phoenix was so bad that no one in the world dared to get close to it. Wen and Qing's family were originally from the Jianghu family, and now they can be considered half Jianghu people, so of course they understand a little bit about this.

"If it is really the work of Thousand-faced Fierce Phoenix, then there is really nothing to investigate. But I don't understand who wants to kill my accountant and the young boy of the Qing family, and..."

"And what?"

"And the attitude of the government is also very strange. The official just came to ask and take a look, but nothing happened after that. I went to the county magistrate many times, but never saw him."

The murder should be under the control of the government, especially since the Wenqing family was a big family in Silk City, so the Yamen should treat it seriously.

As a result, now it seems that the Yamen is hiding something.

Qin Yan's feeling was correct, it was indeed getting more and more troublesome.
