Chapter 144 Unexpected Person, Confession
Thinking about this, Xie Mingli herself felt somewhat insecure. Her face flushed and paled in turns.
"Mingli? Mingli?" Xie Minghao saw his sister's expression and was worried. He had never seen his sister look like this before.
"Ah? Ah! Brother, I'm fine. I just remembered some old things from the past. If only I could have precognitive abilities again, it would be so bad for my health."
Xie Mingli quickly brought up the previous reason again.
"Don't worry about hurting your health. Whether that person is real or not, you don't need to concern yourself with it. When Tinghui returns from his shift this year, we'll arrange for you two to get married. You're not young anymore. If Tinghui hadn't been suddenly sent to Uro by the Emperor, you two probably would have been married long ago. The sooner you get married, the more relaxed your father and mother will be."
Xie Minghao comforted Xie Mingli, and the siblings didn't say anything more. In addition, when Madam Hou Su Ru called the children back, the siblings didn't say anything more either.
the other side.
Yun Qingjin drove the carriage faster.
Xu Huibing, who was inside the carriage, also felt the carriage speed increase and moved closer to the front of the carriage.
"Qingqing, what's wrong? Did that Marquis's family embarrass you just now?" Xu Huibing asked anxiously.
"It's alright, Sister Huibing. Madam Hou is quite kind; it was just a minor accident. The eldest daughter of the Hou family mistook me for someone else."
Xu Huibing nodded. "I saw you suddenly speed up, and I thought something had happened."
"Oh, I'm fine, Sister Huibing. I just want to get home as soon as possible. Aunt Hua made all kinds of glutinous rice balls today, and I want to eat a few more."
The two chatted casually as they sped home.
The carriage sped along, stopping at the back gate of the Yun Mansion in the capital, where they encountered an unexpected group of people.
"Hey? Is that Sister Yuru? Sister Huibing, come and see, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, this is Sister He Yuru!"
Yun Qingjin saw a group of people gathered at the back door, and the one leading them and telling them to move things was actually an acquaintance.
Xu Huibing climbed out of the carriage and saw the man; he was indeed an acquaintance.
He Yuru was also very happy to see Yun Qingjin and Xu Huibing.
"Sister Yuru, aren't you in Xin'an City? Mother said you don't need to come to the capital to report your accounts every year, so why are you here this year?"
When the Yun family left Xin'an City, He Yuru took over from Yun Yuke and managed the entire Yunji Trading Company business in Xin'an City.
Yun Yuke trusted He Yuru completely, which is why she entrusted all the affairs of the Yun family in Xin'an City to her. Moreover, she didn't have to submit annual accounts.
Of course, He Yuru herself still comes to Beijing to report every year.
However, the annual report is held in June, which is Yun Yuke's arrangement, so that the report is not scheduled for winter.
Yun Yuke's idea was to let everyone have a good New Year, since the roads are not safe in winter, while they are relatively better in summer.
Therefore, it is still very strange to see He Yuru now.
"Qingqing! You've grown taller again. And you've gotten even darker. Look at your little face, it's all red from the cold."
He Yuru had watched Yun Qingjin grow up, and seeing that the little girl wasn't as radiant as before, she felt a pang of heartache.
"Oh, I'm fine."
Everyone in the Yun family came to the back gate to greet them.
Yun Yuke, Yuan Chen, and even the elders of the Yun family, such as Aunt Hua and Liu Zhou'er, were all in the capital. Upon hearing of He Yuru's sudden arrival, they all rushed out to greet her.
When He Yuru saw Yun Yuke, her expression became more serious. She put down Yun Qingjin and quickly went to Yun Yuke.
"Boss Yun, I have something to tell you. Shall we find a place to discuss it in detail?"
Yun Yuke was initially happy to see her own people, but seeing He Yuru's serious expression, she also took it seriously and nodded.
"Miss Yuan Chen, please come along too, and Qing Qing as well."
I was both happy and puzzled as I wondered why He Yuru had come so suddenly.
"Yu Ru, what exactly happened? Is there a problem in Xin'an City?"
He Yuru quickly shook her head, "Our shop is fine, don't worry, nothing's wrong. It's something else. Let's go to Boss Yun's room."
Yun Yuke nodded, and the group of four arrived at the accounting office that Yun Yuke had specially built.
In several cities, the layout of the Yun family mansion is similar. For security reasons, Yun Yuke's study has soundproofing and other security measures in place.
Once inside the accounting office, He Yuru closed the door and pulled out a stack of papers from her bosom, the contents of which were unknown.
"Yu Ru, what is this?"
Yun Yuke asked in confusion.
"Boss Yun, Yanchun Pavilion in Xin'an City received a special guest a few days ago. Do you remember the owner of Lin's Timber Shop who suddenly disappeared that year?"
He Yuru's words immediately shocked the three people in the room.
"Lin's Timber Shop? Manager Lin?"
"Yes. It's the one we thought was dead, but it turned out it wasn't Manager Lin who died, it was probably someone else, that Manager Lin. Yuan Chen, and Qing Qing, do you both remember him?"
"Of course I remember, that room was full of blood!" Yun Qingjin herself also remembered the situation.
He Yuru nodded, swallowing hard. "That Manager Lin, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, he suddenly arrived outside the city and went directly to my husband's family's ancestral graves. That's when my husband and I met him. He recognized me and told me he wanted to see you, Boss Yun..."
As He Yuru spoke, she handed a stack of papers that she had just taken out of her bosom to Yun Yuke.
"That Manager Lin is still alive?" Yun Yuke was greatly surprised, and at the same time unfolded these things.
The paper contained Manager Lin's confession, along with his fingerprint.
“I was afraid that things wouldn’t be clear just by talking, so I had my man record his statement and put his fingerprint on it. Manager Lin was injured and couldn’t move, so I quickly brought his statement here, which also solved the problem quickly.”
Yun Yuke quickly read the confession carefully, and its contents were shocking.
The content of Manager Lin's statement is roughly as follows.
When his business ran into problems, after receiving financial assistance from Yun Yuke, another person who always wore all black provided him with another form of financial aid.
The man in black gave Manager Lin a special powder and asked him to mix it with water and then sprinkle it on the moldy wood.
If the mold on the wood is removed, then Manager Lin can continue to sell the wood, and five-tenths of the proceeds can be given to the men in black. If the mold on some of the wood is not removed after the medicine is applied, then the moldy wood will be transported to a place arranged by the men in black.
Every two weeks, the man in black would send someone to deliver the medicine powder. If they ran out of powder, they would send more next time.
For this reason, Manager Lin didn't dare to use too much wood at first. Later, he found that the wood treated with the medicine was no different from ordinary wood. Only then did he dare to process some inferior wood and sell it as high-grade wood.
"So that's why they could sell so much expensive wood. It turns out it was all fake!" Yuan Chen complained after seeing the contents of the statement.
After all, it was Yuan Chen who first discovered the anomalies in Lin's Timber Shop's ledgers.
The reason why Manager Lin ran away was mainly because Yun Yuke took Yun Qingjin to the house outside the city to investigate the situation, and Manager Lin thought that his actions had been discovered.
In addition, the nearby Huanghua Village was hit by heavy rain and flooding, which destroyed most of the houses. The timber used to build the houses in Huanghua Village was purchased from Lin's shop. Fearing that his trickery would be discovered, Manager Lin fled overnight.
In order to escape quickly, he even used the man guarding the gate of the house outside the city as his substitute, and directly caused his death.
Yun Qingjin still remembered the situation at that time and understood what Manager Lin was saying.
"It really was Manager Lin who killed them. But who was that man in black, and what was that powder?"
