683 Lin Deshan
Qingfeng provincial capital, Jin Yuan auction house, Chen residence
“Master, I didn’t let you down. I’ve finally found the origin of the milkvetch flower at the guang juyuan auction house!”
Chen Shanniao looked slightly excited as he said, ” where? ” For the past four months, they had been searching for the origin of the flower.
“Anding county?”
“Anding County?” Chen Shanbiao was suspicious, ” where is this? ” Why had he never heard of this County?
“That’s right. It’s An Ding County. An Ding County is a small county under Zhou Shan city.” The subordinate reported, ” this subordinate saw people from the guang juyuan auction house in An Ding County. This subordinate also saw another person. ”
“Who is it?” Chen Shanbiao sternly asked.
“Lin Deshan!”
Bang!
It was the sound of a cup shattering on the ground.
Chen Shanbiao’s voice was slightly raised as he looked excited and flustered. “who did you say? ”
“Lin Deshan!” The subordinate reported, ” twenty years ago, he was the young master of the Lin pharmacy, Lin Deshan!
“How is that possible?” Chen Shanbiao said in disbelief, ” didn’t the rumors say that he was already dead? Why did he suddenly appear again?”
The subordinate said, ” old master, that is a rumor after all. After all, no one knows if Lin Deshan was alive or dead more than twenty years ago because no one has ever seen his body, right?”
“Yes, you’re right.”
After Chen Shanmiao’s excitement, he quickly calmed down.
“Heiyan, tell the old master in detail about your encounter with Linde mountain in An Ding County.”
“Yes, master!”
“My men found Lin’s medicine shop in Zhou Shan city. Even though Lin’s medicine hall had only just opened, it had many precious herbs, especially 500-year-old ginseng, which had become the shop’s treasure.
“I’ve heard that the precious medicinal herbs in the shop were all personally picked by their young master.
“Out of curiosity, I probed, ‘has your young master ever picked a milkvetch flower before?’
“They thought for a moment and shook their heads.
“I was a little disappointed, but out of curiosity, I went to find out who their young master was. They knew that their young master was in An Ding County, not far from the famous Da Ao mountain. I had a sudden idea and decided to go to An Ding County to investigate.”
“I didn’t expect to see Zhou Xingfa’s men from Guangju Yuan the moment I arrived at An Ding County. I followed him, full of doubt. Then, I saw him enter a medicine shop called Lin’s medicine shop and ask about Lin Deshan.
“Then, I received another important piece of news.”
Chen Shanbiao asked in a deep voice, ” what news? ”
“The previous manager of Lin’s medicine store is Lin Deshan.”
Chen Shanbiao stood up in shock, ” how is that possible? Could they have the same name?”
The subordinate reported, ” at first, I also thought that they had the same name. However, when Zhou Xingfa’s subordinate saw Lin Deshan, I was hiding, and I was sure I saw Lin Deshan!”
After Chen Shanbiao heard this, he calmed down and sat down. He asked, ” why did Zhou Xingfa’s subordinate suddenly look for Lin Deshan? ”
The subordinate hesitated for a moment and guessed, ” master, I have a guess. The person who sold Zhou Xingfa the milkvetch flower could very well be Lin Deshan.”
Chen Shanbiao’s sharp eyes squinted and he asked, ” what do you mean? ”
“I found out that when Zhou Xingfa was auctioning the milkvetch flower, Lin Deshan went to Guang Juyuan to look for Zhou Xingfa. After that, he left in a hurry, and not long after, Guang Juyuan revealed that there was the milkvetch flower auction.
“This time, Zhou Xingfa sent his men to look for Lin Deshan because we’ve cut off the supply of goods from Guangju Yuan’s auction recently, so their business has been a bit sluggish. Therefore, they went to Lin Deshan to ask for his help to see if they could get some precious items to auction.”
Chen Shanbiao listened to his subordinate’s analysis and thought about it seriously for a moment. Then, he immediately ordered, ” immediately send someone to watch Zhou Xingfa’s movements and closely watch Lin Deshan!”
“Yes, master!”
Zengji medicine shop, Zengfu
“What did you just say? You’re saying that Lin Deshan looked for Zhou Xingfa before guang juyuan sold the milkvetch flower? ” the Zeng family head asked in disbelief.
“yes, old master, ” the Zeng family’s butler reported respectfully. “It was one of Zhou Xingfa’s subordinates who accidentally revealed it after drinking.”
“How is that possible?” Lin Deshan has been missing for more than 20 years. How did he suddenly appear in Qingfeng city? ” the head of the Zeng family mumbled.
