A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 248: Although things are unpredictable, fortune and misfortune always depend on each other

At the hour of Mao the next day, Li Yunye and An Ge had just come out of the Plum Garden when they ran into An Yun, who had been following them outside all night. The light in the other's eyes made Li Yunye's heart calm down involuntarily.

"But is there any movement in the dyeing workshop?" Li Yunye asked hurriedly.

"Sir, someone appeared outside the dyeing workshop at four o'clock this morning." An Yun shook his head first, then replied.

"Who?" Although Li Yunye felt a little disappointed, he still asked curiously.

"He should have been in contact with someone inside, but I didn't see anyone coming out of the dyeing workshop. I saw that person wandering outside and then left, so I secretly followed him. After walking for almost an hour on the mountain road, I saw him enter a village. In order to prevent the villagers from becoming suspicious that I did not enter the village, I quickly ran back to report to the young master." An Yun paused and replied.

"Which village?" Ange, who was standing aside, asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"Majia Village, Lin County."

"That is to say, the batch of imitation cloth that the vendors were secretly selling might have come from Majia Village in Lin County. But how could a small Majia Village bribe the people from Lijia Dyeing Workshop?" Ange frowned, puzzled.

"Maybe it's not necessarily bribery?" An Yun scratched his head and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

An Yun's guess made Li Yunye and An Ge nod their heads at the same time. Yes, no conclusion can be drawn now. Everything will naturally come to light once the person is caught.

"An Yun, you've worked hard all night, go back and rest first." Li Yunye patted An Yun on the shoulder and said.

The traitor in the dyeing workshop was not caught, but An Yun accidentally found the den behind the imitation cloth, which was considered a gain. Fortunately, An Yun did not follow into the village to disturb them. Although the batch of imitation cloth was not sold under the guise of Jiangnan Mingli, judging from the furtive behavior of the vendors, the dyeing workshop in the village must be a secret workshop that was not approved by the government.

An Yun did not ask any more questions and went back to his room to rest as the young master said.

"We can just report such secret workshops directly to the government, but the traitor in Li's dyeing workshop has not been found yet. If we alarm Majia Village now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find this person. The dyeing workshop is hiding such a scourge. Even if Majia Village is gone, there is no guarantee that he will not find Niujia Village or even more in the future. Disloyal people must not be allowed to stay." After An Yun left, Li Yunye and An Ge continued to walk towards the study in Lutang while talking.

"Yes, once such a secret shop is known by the government, it will definitely be closed down. However, this secret shop is in the village, and the local villagers must have benefited from it. Closing down the secret shop will cut off the livelihood of the villagers in Majia Village. The famous Li in Jiangnan cannot get into this trouble, so even if we want to deal with the secret shop in the future, we can't use the identity of Li family." An Ge followed Li Yunye and immediately expressed his concerns.

"You are reminding me, but if the traitor doesn't show up, are we just going to keep waiting? Are we just going to be so passive?" Li Yunye couldn't help but frowned and said in distress, how long do we have to wait and see?

"But where can we find a new person to do this?" An Ge naturally understood the young master's concerns, so he sighed with some difficulty.

"Looking for a stranger? What for?" Li Yunye looked at Ange in confusion.

"Young Master, we are in a passive position openly, why don't we try to use secret means?" An Ge smiled and then leaned close to Li Yunye's ear and whispered.

"How could we do such a thing?" Li Yunye was shocked and scared when he heard it. He looked at Ange in disbelief. He couldn't help but wonder whether he had underestimated the boy's changes or he was too naive and thought that the Li family had always been as upright as they appeared to others?

"Hehe, sir, sometimes using some necessary means can better solve the problem. Besides, we don't want to do anything that is against the law of nature." Ange lowered his head and coughed twice, then replied with a calm look.

Jiang Siyao said nothing more and continued to walk towards the study. She was not a righteous person, but she was also an honest and rule-abiding college student in the modern rule of law society. Now she had neither the ability nor the courage to do something that was hidden under the light.

Ange's words also made Li Yunye, who was a little slow to react, realize that the Li family's long-term prosperity in the Jiangnan business world could not be based solely on word of mouth. However, he was afraid that if the person he found was not trustworthy, if the news was accidentally leaked, then the famous Li family in Jiangnan might be ruined in his hands. After all, he was not as decisive as his father and could control the situation with ease.

Seeing that the young master didn't say anything, Ange just followed silently. He knew that the young master had always been naive and simple-minded. Although he was now in charge of the famous Li family in Jiangnan, he needed time to adapt and accept it. Moreover, during the mourning period, the young master didn't need to go out for social activities, and the shops in various places were relatively stable. In addition, he was protected by Young Master Mu Liang, so he naturally had no chance to see the dark side of the business world.

When the two of them arrived at the study, Li Yunye still hadn't made up his mind to use the method proposed by Ange. He secretly thought that it would be better to wait for Brother Muliang to come back and make a decision. So he just asked Ange to temporarily send someone to watch the dyeing workshop day and night.

Up to this point, Li Yunye had not paid attention to the account book in his hand for the whole morning. He was always worried about the dyeing workshop and was looking forward to his brother Mu Liang coming back soon. With his sworn brother by his side, he had nothing to worry about.

Since the famous Jiangnan Li was framed by a widow in the government office yesterday, he did not cry out in public, nor did he sue the widow for slander. Instead, he repaid evil with kindness. Once the news spread, the people in the city talked about it. Most of them praised the generosity of the famous Jiangnan Li and ridiculed the widow Yu for her greed and stupidity. In the end, she was beaten half to death by the prefect, and it was still Madam Qian who hired a bullock cart to pull her back home.

As public sentiment was high, the business of each of the famous Li shops in Jiangnan increased several times compared to usual.

While Shopkeeper Yuan was worried about the dyeing workshop, he was happy when he saw the endless stream of customers coming into the shop. He couldn't help but sigh that although the world is unpredictable, fortune and misfortune are always dependent on each other. Even he didn't expect that yesterday's farce would bring good reputation to the famous Li in Jiangnan.

Li Yunye was also overjoyed when he heard the news outside. It was really a blessing in disguise. Jiangnan Mingli did a successful marketing in Qile City without spending a penny. In this way, he should thank the woman Yu for causing this drama out of greed. She made things worse and gave Jiangnan Mingli a wedding dress.
