Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Change of Ownership (4)

Yang Ruxin suddenly realized, the county magistrate of Yangzhou City, that’s the local Emperor, his brother-in-law, that’s also an Emperor, no need to ask to guess, if it wasn’t because someone from the Cheng Family had an incurable disease and needed money, selling the tavern, then it must definitely be that Cheng Qian had offended this Fu Er Shaow and had his property seized.

“Then what about the previous tavern shopkeeper from the Cheng Family?” Yang Miao couldn’t help but ask.

The young waiter glanced at Yang Miao, then shook his head, “Don’t know.” He said, before turning to leave.

But he was stopped by Gu Cheng.

“This…” The young waiter’s face immediately turned stern, “This isn’t a place where you can just start trouble.”

“You misunderstand, we are the distant relatives of the previous shopkeeper from the Cheng Family, we just happened to pass by here and wanted to visit our cousins, but now we cannot find them, so if you know something, please do us a favor and tell us.” Yang Ruxin walked up to the young waiter and handed over a silver ingot, “You merely need to divulge their whereabouts, and you can earn five taels of silver, but if you don’t tell, I will file a complaint against you. I will say you came in and harassed our beautiful girls here…”

The young waiter’s mouth twitched. How could this person be so ruthless?

“We still have to set off tonight, so we just want to see…” Yang Ruxin sat back down on the stool, “Since I gave you the opportunity and you don’t want it, then…”

“Alright, I’ll tell you, but you can’t say I told you.” The young waiter gritted his teeth and took the silver, “This tavern has changed owners two years ago. Honestly, the previous boss, Mr. Cheng, was quite nice, but who made him offend Fu Er Shaow?”

According to that young waiter, it appeared that the shopkeeper Cheng somehow offended Fu Er Shaow, and then was framed; the tavern was said to have had a death inside, and after that, not only was shopkeeper Cheng bankrupted, but he also spent two months in jail, and then the tavern changed hands…

“According to that young waiter, the Cheng shopkeeper’s family should be living around here.” Yang Ruxin got off the carriage and couldn’t help but cover her nose and mouth, as this place was considered a slum area of Yangzhou City, with sewage flowing everywhere and a foul smell.

“Madam, young miss, Miss Qingge, you should stay in the carriage. We’ll go look for them.” Du Juan looked around.

“It’s fine.” Yang Ruxin shook her head, “Let my mom wait in the carriage. I will find them with you.”

“Ma’am, is there a Cheng Family living around here?” Yu Qingge was very proactive and stopped an elderly lady passing by.

“There are two Cheng Families around here, which one are you looking for?” The old lady looked at everyone warily.

“The one that used to run a tavern.” Yang Ruxin walked over.

“The lame Cheng’s house, over there, inside the most inner part of the opposite alley.” The old lady pointed, then suddenly a woman walked by and she quickly waved her hand, “Lame Cheng’s family, someone is looking for you.”

The woman looked up at her words, but was confused to see everyone, “You…”

“Auntie Sun, it’s really you!” Yang Miao rushed forward excitedly, grabbing the woman’s hand, “We finally found you.” Though five years had passed and the hardships of recent life had made her nearly unrecognizable, she could still faintly make out her appearance from years ago.

“This young lady, you…” Cheng Sunshi frowned at Yang Miao, “You are…”

“My father is Yang Family River…”

In the end, Cheng Sunshi still recognized Yang Miao, “You’ve grown so much…”
