After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 380 You look like a person

The bowl of medicine had a sleeping effect, and Jiang Qisheng slept for two full days.

During these two days, the decoration of the store naturally did not stop. In addition, they also cleaned out another room.

The room that Jiang Qisheng lived in originally belonged to Jiang Shu, and was only lent to him temporarily for his recuperation.

Jiang Qisheng was awakened by the clanging sounds outside the house. When he opened the door, he saw flying dust immediately coming in through the crack in the door.

He coughed twice and quickly covered his mouth and nose.

Across the gray corridor, I saw a person hanging on a pillar not far away.

He walked over and looked carefully for a while before he realized that the man who was wrapped so tightly was Boss Yue.

"Girl, uh, why are you dressed like this?"

Yuan Qing hugged the pillar and tilted his head to look.

Oh, it turns out to be Jiang Qisheng.

"There's nothing to do anyway, so I'll just do what I can." She slowly moved to the side. "You're awake, how are you?"

"Boss Yue, are you done there?" a man shouted in a rough voice.

Yuan Qing pulled off his mask and shouted towards the voice: "It's only a little bit left. We've been tired for most of the day. You guys go eat first, and you can get busy after that!"

"Okay!"

The men who were working put down their tools and went to the backyard to clean up.

Jiang Qisheng reached out his hand and tried to pull her into the corridor.

Yuan Qing waved his hand and said, "You are not well yet, so you should walk away. I am covered in dust, but I can still hold myself at this distance. I have a rope hanging on me, it is very thick, so nothing will happen to me."

Jiang Qisheng looked up and found that there were indeed several thick ropes hanging there, and she was already standing outside the railing and could just turn over to get in. So he stopped trying to help and stepped back to wait.

Yuan Qing had just put away his tools when he heard several sounds of wood breaking under his feet.

She didn't have time to think about it, and immediately supported herself on the railing and rolled into the corridor.

Before he could get up, he saw the railing in front of him suddenly break and collapse from the third floor. A gap appeared in the corridor floor, as if it was bitten by some large beast.

Jiang Qisheng hurriedly pulled her up and retreated.

The place where she was lying just now seemed to be shaking and a little unstable.

"How could this be?"

Jiang Qisheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Then, a man appeared at the door of the store.

"Is there anyone here?"

Yuan Qing's expression tensed, and he said to Jiang Qisheng, "You go in first."

"Can you do it yourself?"

"It's okay, I'll call you when I need you."

She didn't bother to be polite with Jiang Qisheng and just turned around and went down the stairs the other way.

She was unsure of the identity of the visitor. At least before she settled the relationship between Jiang Qisheng and Jiang Shu, she couldn't let the Jiang family find out that Jiang Qisheng was here, let alone let them take Jiang Qisheng back.

This is not good for Jiang Shu.

Yuan Qing dusted himself off, put his mask back on, and walked towards him with a smile.

"Our shop has not yet opened. What are you doing here, sir?"

"I'm here to deliver something." The man took out the medicine bag from his sleeve. "I happened to meet two girls buying medicine at the pharmacy last night, but they had too many things and left this behind, so I followed them here. But it's late at night, so it's not convenient for me to knock on the door, so I can only wait until dawn."

Yuan Qing raised his arm to block the light and looked carefully.

Wow, what a rare guest! Why did Gong Heng suddenly come here?

He actually went to Beijing before the New Year, probably for next year's exam.

"These are the things we left behind. Thank you very much, sir." Yuan Qing took out some silver as a thank you gift. "This is a small token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it."

Gong Heng refused repeatedly, "It's just a small favor, it's not a big deal. I've already delivered the things, and I'll take my leave now."

"Young master, walk slowly."

Yuan Qing looked at the medicine bag in his hand, not understanding what was going on.

He picked up the package of medicine and waited for a whole night, and then waited until the next day to have the medicine delivered to his door personally.

What for?

If it were someone else, maybe she was overthinking it, but for Gong Heng, she felt that this was not a coincidence.

Such an action is so deliberate that it is hard not to think too much.

Jiang Qisheng helped him walk down the stairs, looked at the person leaving and said, "I just checked there briefly, and I didn't see anything abnormal."

So that was an accident?

But she had carefully screened all the materials before starting work, so if there was a problem with the materials, it would be basically impossible.

If it was not the selection of materials, then someone secretly replaced them during construction.

She needs to look into this matter carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong before opening.

Yuan Qing nodded and walked inside. "I think your family has already known about your disappearance. I don't know what the news is outside. Do you need my help--"

Halfway through his words, Jiang Qisheng chuckled.

Yuan Qing looked at him suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Qisheng put his fist to his lips and said, "Has anyone told Boss Yue that you look like someone I know?"

His expression was very serious, and Yuan Qing knew he was not joking.

"Yes." She said frankly, "People often tease us about this. Could it be that even Lord Jiang thinks we are the same person?"

Her whereabouts have always been erratic, so even if someone catches up with her and asks about this matter, it is not certain.

She just won't admit it, what can others do to her?

This question actually stumped Jiang Qisheng.

He just suspected it and had no definite evidence.

"Although they look alike, they are obviously not the same person. Boss Yue, you must be joking."

It really couldn't be the same person.

unless……

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed.

"Where is the other person with you?" Jiang Qisheng asked.

"Ask the second one. She has other things to do during the day and only appears at night. What do you want from her?"

"No, just asking casually."

After saying that, Jiang Qisheng walked around and observed the structure of the building.

The whole building is divided into three floors. The first floor is the lobby, the second floor is divided into compartments with many screens, and the third floor is an elegant room with many rooms.

Although he had never been to Yuzhou, he heard from others that the place in Yuzhou was probably the same as here, except for the different construction styles.

"What does Boss Yue plan to do with this place?"

"It will be kept secret until the building opens." Yuan Qing raised his hand, "But I can tell Lord Jiang that this is related to food. Lord Jiang should be invited to come and show his support."

Jiang Qisheng nodded, "Sure."

After sending Jiang Qisheng back to the house, Yuan Qing squatted on the third floor where the problem occurred and examined it carefully.

The dust in the building gradually settled. Gong Chan came out of the house and flew to the broken part of the wooden floor.

"Be careful, there may be some problems here." Yuan Qing reminded.

"Don't worry." Gong Chan tried a few times on tiptoe and then jumped back to her original position.

"How about it?"

"It's not the wood, it's man-made."

She pointed to a few subtle marks on the middle wooden board and said, "Although they tried their best to cover it up, you can still see that someone painted something on it."

Yuan Qing ran downstairs and picked up the wooden debris scattered on the first floor. After observing them bit by bit, he indeed found the paint that Gong Chan had mentioned.

It's not obvious, but there is a smell and there are traces.

Normally people don't deliberately lie on the ground to smell.

She did a lot of mopping, and when Jiang Shu was cleaning, he didn't kneel on the ground to wipe, so it was hard to smell.

What she was wondering at this moment was, what was the purpose of doing this?

Delay her opening time?

This is too childish...

Is this stuff applied just to make people fall from the third floor?

The only people who passed by the third floor every day were her, Jiang Shu, Gong Chan, and Jiang Qisheng.

Jiang Shu is the only one who lives here usually, and the others moved in later.

Indiscriminate attack?

Or... is this just aimed at Jiang Shu?

She thought carefully about everything that had happened today.

The sound started when she stepped on the outer edge of the railing.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly leaned over the railing and looked over slowly and carefully.

I searched the entire third floor and the railings, but couldn't find anything strange.

Finally, she suddenly fixed her eyes on the place where she had been.

The purpose of his doing this is himself!

So she quickly locked on the candidate.

The group of workers came back from their meal, picked up their tools and started working.

Yuan Qing put away the things, stood on it and said, "Take a break for half a day today. You don't have to work anymore. Your wages will not be deducted for this half day. Go home and have a rest. When you have enough strength, come back tomorrow."

The men cheered and walked towards the door together.

"Biaozi, please stay for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
