Chapter 163 Evidence
Finally, Dong Qian and Qin Han couldn't help but run out from inside.
"Only ripe things ferment so quickly."
Dong Qian was already suspicious when she saw it.
"So, Chef Dong, you mean that the seeds have been cooked before they are planted in the soil?"
The butler's face was full of disbelief, but that was actually the case, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't believe it.
Dong Qian thought.
"Normally raw potatoes, even if soaked in water for more than ten days, will not be broken into flour, and will only rot in one piece..."
"But the masters who left the seeds were all carefully selected by the city lord, how could anything go wrong?"
The butler thought this was unlikely.
She looked directly at the housekeeper and asked.
"It took less than a day from bringing the seeds back to planting them the next day. Can you really be sure that someone was not deliberately causing trouble or bribed someone?"
At that time, the housekeeper stood at the gate of the city lord's mansion from beginning to end. After the city lord sent Liu Kun away, the housekeeper did not see Liu Kun go out from the front door.
Therefore, it is very likely that Liu Kun was still hiding in the City Lord's Mansion.
But right now, all this is Dong Qian's conjecture. If he wants to confirm it, he still has to provide evidence.
"In order to ensure that things went smoothly, the city lord kept the masters who kept the seeds still living in the city lord's mansion. If someone really bribed them, they should be able to find a lot of money and materials."
The butler said to himself.
Dong Qian nodded immediately.
"Of course this is the best. Then I'll bother the butler. If you need anything, you can go directly to Haohan Restaurant. I'll always be there."
Then Dong Qian and Qin Han left the city lord's mansion.
Liu Kun felt it was a pity that he could not provoke a dispute between the city lord and Dong Qian.
The city lord gave them two days, and after returning, Dong Qian acted as if nothing had happened.
But fortunately, there is still a small amount of potatoes in the warehouse of Haohan Restaurant.
After the restaurant closed, Dong Qian asked the employees to stay.
According to her method, save the potatoes for seeds.
Dong Qian was not idle either and cooked a very sumptuous dinner for the employees.
"If I could eat the food cooked by the young master's wife every day, I would be willing to stay at night!"
One person's smile almost reached his ears.
The food Dong Qian cooks is much more valuable than what they do.
Dong Qian smiled helplessly and shook her head, "I also want to thank you for staying and helping me."
Although there are not many potatoes, if there are only three of them, Dong Qian and Qin Han, it may be difficult to end it in a short time.
Watching them leave after finishing their meal, the potato seeds have also been neatly stacked in the warehouse.
"It's better to plant this kind of seeds into the ground as early as possible."
Dong Qian muttered to herself.
The next day Dong Qian used the name of the city lord to tell some people about the incident.
There is no extra money to replant, but part of the harvested potatoes can be kept at home as food.
In this era, food is money, so they are naturally happy.
But there were not many seeds, and Dong Qian only distributed them to some of them.
Soon news came from the housekeeper that a 500-tael banknote was indeed found in one of the people's bedrooms.
"What about that person?"
After Dong Qian learned the news, she rushed over non-stop, but unexpectedly she received bad news as soon as she arrived.
The butler lowered his head and said.
"It seems that no one has seen this person since the day before yesterday. Just now the city lord sent people to search and found the body in his home..."
"died?"
Dong Qian couldn't help but clenched her fists.
She knew who did it, but she was helpless because there was no evidence.
However, this inspection and this person's death proved that Dong Qian was not deceiving the city lord.
However, there must be some losses. After discussing with the city lord, Dong Qian and the two decided to jointly bear this part of the losses.
"What's the use of taking responsibility? It's not that you can't plant it, and the initial joy will be in vain."
Liu Kun didn't know when he came, and he made some sarcastic remarks at the side.
Dong Qian didn't tolerate it anymore this time.
"Then Mr. Liu, do you have any better way? I have said that this matter is risky from the beginning, but if the man hadn't died, I would definitely be able to find out now who is causing the trouble!"
"You are a Taoist woman who is very articulate. I really don't know what the eyes of people who fall in love with you are like. I think you are just a thief and want to catch a thief. You must have killed this person too!"
Liu Kun was a little angry.
Dong Qian, however, took her time and found the housekeeper.
"That day, Mr. Liu, you did not leave the City Lord's Mansion. Can you tell the City Lord where you went?"
Liu Kun, who was suddenly questioned, was speechless, and the city lord also frowned and looked at him.
"Mr. Liu, is this really true? Could the hidden secret be related to you?"
Faced with the questioning look on the city lord's face, Liu Kun was completely panicked.
"City Lord, you must not listen to this woman's nonsense. I...left through the side door."
"Nonsense! The east and west side doors were not opened that day. If you continue to hide it, Mr. Liu, even the city lord will not be able to forgive you."
The housekeeper didn't want to believe it at first.
It is absolutely impossible for Liu Kun to admit it.
But now he couldn't find any excuse, so Dong Qian winked directly at the housekeeper.
Then he found 500 taels of silver notes from the man's bedroom and handed them over.
"City Lord Qi, look, there is a small Liu character printed on the lower left corner of this banknote."
Dong Qian discovered this by accident.
Because the font is very small and almost blends in with the stamp on the banknote.
Later, after comparing it with other banknotes, Dong Qian discovered that there was indeed a Liu character printed on it.
This is also the best evidence to identify Liu Kun.
The city lord slapped the banknote on the table angrily.
"Mr. Liu, you might as well explain to us what this bank note means?"
At this time, Liu Kun's legs were already trembling. He didn't expect that his careful calculation still left so many loopholes.
"What does the word "Liu" mean? That day was actually... I was in a hurry and looked for a toilet in the house for a long time."
Liu Kun gritted his teeth and had no choice but to say this.
Dong Qian couldn't help but laugh, and the city lord also had a confused look on his face.
"If you don't believe me, City Lord, you can ask the maid who was at the house when I asked for directions. She can testify for me."
Liu Kun looked very evident.
After all, she was just a maid, and it was even more impossible for her to follow Liu Kun when he went to the toilet.
What he did after that is certainly unknown.
Because Liu Kun came from the capital, the city lord did not dare to hinder him much.
In the end, the matter was dropped because there was no evidence.
The city lord knew that Dong Qian was good at making decisions, so he distributed another part of the seeds in his own name, and was very satisfied with Dong Qian.
"This is just a matter of effort. Although the harvest is definitely not as large as before, the advantage is that potatoes can indeed be grown in Yancheng."
