When he heard Ye Fan say that there were two more people, Blooming Flowering Brothel's interest was even higher. It was not because he was worried about his family's business, but because he was happy to have made such an outstanding friend.
Ye Fan said,
"The second suspect is the manager of your Datong Bank!”
Ye Fan's words were shocking. Blooming Flower Pavilion said in surprise,
"Shopkeeper Qian! Why?"
If Ye Fan suspected anyone, Blooming Flowering Brothel would not ask why. However, if he suspected Shopkeeper Qian, he really could not help but ask. Because, one had to know that Ye Fan had not even seen Shopkeeper Qian's face until now.
Ye Fan stood up and said,
" I'm just suspecting something and need to verify it. Wait for me here."
Blooming Flowering Tower saw that Ye Fan asked him to wait here, so he waited here. About half an incense's time, Ye Fan returned and gave him a bag of silver.
Ye Fan sat down and took a sip of tea.
" If I was only 10% suspicious before, I'm 70% suspicious now."
Blooming Flowering Tower touched the bag of silver in front of him and said to Ye Fan,
"Where did this silver come from?"
Ye Fan said,
"Do you still remember that I brought some counterfeit money with me when I left just now? I just exchanged this from your Datong money house, and I personally exchanged it with Shopkeeper Qian."
Blooming Flower said with a smile,
" If that's the case, you don't have to suspect Shopkeeper Qian. I was the one who instructed Shopkeeper Qian to exchange as usual. After all, we can't affect the lives of others just because something happened to our Hua family. That would lose our reputation."
Ye Fan said,
"It's not because of that. I suspect Manager Qian for two reasons.
First, the operation of counterfeit banknotes. No matter how you think about it, you must have the help of someone from your bank. Otherwise, the risk is too high, and it's not convenient to operate.
Moreover, it has to be someone who can make decisions. It seems that the managers and above of your bank are all suspicious."
Blooming Flower said,
" I've thought about this as well, but the managers of our Hua family were all personally appointed by my father. They are all elders of the Hua family, so I believe that they won't do anything to betray the Hua family."
Ye Fan shook his head and said,
"Blooming Flowering Brothel, have you heard of a man who doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but because he doesn't have the money to buy wine and drink, he wants to force his wife to sell herself.
Because his wife wanted to leave some money to buy clothes for her child, he beat her to death.
A person who would even sell his own son in exchange for money?”
Blooming Flower Pavilion was shocked and said,"
" I've heard rumors of people exchanging their children for food during famine years. However, Blooming Flowering Pavilion has never heard of someone who would sell their children and kill their wife just for wine. They don't even dare to imagine it."
Ye Fan thought of his mother's tragic death and how he fled in a panic. Tears involuntarily flowed out of his eyes and he said,
" So, Blooming Flowers, don't underestimate a person's desires, and don't underestimate the magic of money. It can easily change a person."
Blooming Flowering Pavilion was silent, not because of Ye Fan's words, but because of Ye Fan. He could hear Ye Fan's sadness and anger.
Ye Fan wiped his tears and continued,
" To be able to make over 100,000 taels of silver in a short span of 10 days, I believe that ordinary stewards don't have the ability nor the guts to do so. Hence, the greatest possibility is Shopkeeper Qian."
Blooming Flowering Tower touched the silver in front of him and said,"
"So you went to test Shopkeeper Qian just now?”
Ye Fan said,
" Yes, I wanted to exchange for silver notes. Shopkeeper Qian quickly exchanged them for me. This is very abnormal."
Blooming Flower said,
"What's abnormal about it?"
Ye Fan said,
"Normally, this would be fine, but now the matter of the fake banknotes has become so big that even the young master is here.
For a stranger to suddenly exchange such a large amount of silver, shouldn't any shopkeeper hesitate and carefully verify the authenticity of these silver notes? However, Shopkeeper Qian didn't.
After Ye Fan said that, Blooming Flowering Pavilion did not say anything because what Ye Fan said was right. This made him also suspect Shopkeeper Qian.
Ye Fan said,
" There's one more thing. Shopkeeper Qian's face is filled with worry."
Blooming Flower said,
" With such a thing happening, it's hard for the shopkeeper to absolve himself of the blame, so he naturally won't be happy."
Ye Fan said,
"What if I say that he only looked so miserable after you came?”
Blooming Flowering Pavilion stopped waving his fan and said,"
"You mean…。”
Ye Fan said,
"I've asked around with the little shop assistant. When the fake banknotes were first issued, Shopkeeper Qian wasn't that worried. He ate and drank as he should every day. But after you came, he became like this, worrying day by day.
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely be very annoyed at the beginning. When the young master came, they would have a backbone and would more or less relax.
He is the exact opposite, so the only explanation is that…"
Blooming Flower sighed and said,
" The only explanation is that he feels guilty. On one hand, he's afraid of meeting the main family, and on the other hand, he's afraid that the matter will be exposed."
Ye Fan nodded and said,
" That's right, but there's also a suspicious point here."
Blooming Flower said,
"What is it?"
Ye Fan said,
"He is just an ordinary shopkeeper, how could he replicate the template? Even if he met Yue Qing or Yue Qing's daughter, he would not have the guts to set up such a trap.
"Also, if he was really the mastermind behind this, then he should have stopped long ago when you came. He shouldn't be like this now, feeling uneasy and afraid."
Blooming Flowering Tower waved his fan again and said,
"So, there must be someone else behind him. At most, he can only be considered an accomplice.
Right, don't you have a third person? Who is the third person?"
Ye Fan said,
"The third person I suspect is Lorne!”
Although he was already mentally prepared for Ye Fan's words, when he heard Luo Ma's name, Blooming Flowering Tower was still shocked.
Although I still can't believe it, I believe you have your reasons."
Ye Fan said,
"Yes, and Lorne's reason is even more sufficient!”
Blooming Flower said with a smile,
Then I'm all ears."
