Chapter 134 Dyeing House Incident (3)
Chapter 134 Dyeing House Incident (3)
Everyone was talking non-stop, and suddenly someone asked, "Who on earth is so wicked as to help outsiders frame the young lady of the Dong family?"
"That's right. If I find out who it is, I won't let him off easily."
While everyone was discussing this heatedly, a figure unconsciously moved away towards the corner. Someone nearby stopped him and said, "Dajiang, why are you sweating so much? Are you feeling unwell?"
The man stammered, "I, I have to go to the bathroom!"
"You useless thing, lazy people poop and pee a lot. Now that you heard there's work to do, even your pee has increased, hahahaha!"
The man named Dajiang scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and walked out in a hurry. Among the crowd, a pair of sharp eyes stared at Dajiang's figure. If he was not mistaken, the direction this man was going did not seem to be the toilet!
It seems that someone is starting to get anxious.
Sure enough, the cloth was soon delivered to the dyeing workshop, and the workers began to get busy again. Everything was in order. In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, Manager Qiu was the first to arrive at the dyeing workshop every day and the last to leave.
Everything was peaceful for two days.
That night, the moonlight illuminated the quiet streets. Most people had gone to bed, and the cool night breeze made the leaves rustle, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the long and narrow street. The person was wearing a long black cloak that wrapped tightly from head to toe, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly.
He was holding something in his hands and his steps were very hurried. After looking around furtively, he quietly entered the Yu family dyeing workshop.
The dyeing workshop was pitch black, with not a single person in sight. The man stopped in front of the huge dye vat, sighed deeply, and then fumbled to pour what was in his hand into the vat.
"You're not sleeping so late at night, wandering around dressed like this. Aren't you afraid of scaring people, Li Dajiang?"
The figure paused, clearly in great panic. After a long pause, he uttered a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
In the darkness, a man in a long gown appeared in front of the black shadow. In the moonlight, the face was extremely cold, which made Li Dajiang a little scared.
He vaguely remembered that this person had arrived recently and was said to be mute and rarely spoke. How could he suddenly speak today? Who was this person?
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, don't you think your behavior is shameful?"
Li Dajiang sneered, "You'd better mind your own business and pretend you didn't see what happened today. If you keep complaining, don't blame me for being rude."
"Oh? I want to see how rude you are!"
Although the man was weak, he had an imposing aura, which made Li Dajiang take two steps back involuntarily. He was very nervous. The powder in his hand, which could turn all the dyes into inferior products when added to the dye vat, suddenly fell to the ground. Li Dajiang's eyes turned red for a moment.
Anyway, with that adult behind him, who would dare to do anything to him? Thinking of this, Li Dajiang pulled out the dagger for self-defense from his waist and stabbed straight at the man!
The light that was originally extinguished suddenly lit up, making Li Dajiang's eyes a little dizzy. The dagger in his hand was instantly knocked to the ground by the person in front of him. He was shocked. What was going on?
Shopkeeper Qiu's face was filled with anger. He looked at the sharp knife that fell to the ground with disbelief in his eyes. "Dajiang, I never thought you were the traitor?! When Chuqi told me before, I didn't believe it. I really didn't expect..."
Some shop workers were also furious. They stepped forward and grabbed Li Dajiang, saying, "How can you be fair to the young lady of the boss family by doing this? You haven't been paid less than a cent these days, have you?"
Li Dajiang lowered his head, unable to utter a word. He didn't know how to explain to them, and there was no point in explaining at this point.
"Take him away and hand him over to the young lady of the Dong family for interrogation tomorrow. Listen carefully to me, you must keep a close watch on him tonight and don't let him escape."
Shopkeeper Qiu gave the order, and soon several workers came over and took Li Dajiang into the room in the backyard of the dyeing workshop. After everything was arranged, Shopkeeper Qiu stepped forward and bowed to Chuqi, saying, "Mr. Chuqi, it's all thanks to Li's wit, otherwise this guy would have gotten away."
Chu Qi said a little embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper Qiu, I am not a young master. I am just a servant under the boss's young lady like you. Moreover, today's plan was all thought up by the young lady. She is the one who is truly powerful."
Shopkeeper Qiu laughed and said, "That's right, that's right, the amazing one is our young lady!"
Early the next morning, Chuqi quietly sent a letter to Yu Qingli as agreed. After seeing the message, Yu Qingli finally showed a satisfied smile on her lips. This Chuqi did not disappoint her.
After leaving Yu Mansion quietly with Mei Hong, Yu Qingli went straight to the dyeing workshop. Although the dyeing workshop had not started work, all the workers were present. There was anger and disdain on everyone's face. Li Dajiang was tied up tightly and knelt in front of the dye vat, with an unclear expression on his face.
Seeing Yu Qingli coming over, the shopkeeper Qiu hurried forward and said, "Ms. Dong, you are finally here. The traitor has been found and handed over to you for your punishment."
Yu Qingli nodded slightly and walked in front of Li Dajiang. Someone had already brought a chair over, which seemed a bit like a trial between three judges.
"Keep your head up!"
Yu Qingli ordered in a cold voice. The chill in her tone made these tall men's hair stand on end. Is this still the young lady of the Dong family?
Li Dajiang was also startled. He carefully raised his head to look at Yu Qingli, then quickly lowered his head. At just one glance, Yu Qingli saw a familiar shadow on that face, with some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes.
With a sneer on her lips, Yu Qingli went straight to the point, "Tell me, who are you to Jiang Bai?"
Li Dajiang looked up in surprise. Could it be that by now, the young lady had already investigated everything? Even his own identity...
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. As far as I know, Jiang Bai seems to have a cousin who recently came to seek refuge with him. If I'm not mistaken, you should be that so-called cousin, right?"
Seeing that Yu Qingli had revealed his identity, Li Dajiang no longer had to hide it and simply admitted it, "That's right, my name is not Li Dajiang at all. My real name is Jiang Li. I originally wanted to come and seek refuge with my uncle, but my uncle has never been very fond of me. This time, my uncle said that if I can help them complete their mission smoothly, he will let me serve as a servant beside Master Yu."
Yu Qingli snorted coldly, "So you admit that you were the one who replaced the dye?"
Li Dajiang didn't hide it, "So what if it was me? Everyone has their own responsibility. Since you already know the truth, report it to the police or do something else, it's up to you!"
"I didn't realize that he is actually a man. He just got taken advantage of by someone accidentally and became someone else's pawn without even knowing it." Yu Qingli said sarcastically.
Li Dajiang closed his eyes, looking like he was waiting to die, with a look of regret on his face. If he had stayed in his hometown peacefully instead of coming to Luoyang City to look for his uncle, nothing that happened afterwards would have happened.
Yu Qingli saw the fleeting regret and decided to change her original intention. She knew that even if she sent Li Dajiang to the authorities, Jiang Bai would be able to rescue him with the help of his father, so it would be meaningless. But if she could make Li Dajiang her own, then at least she might be able to plant a spy on her father's side.
Wouldn't it be more meaningful to turn the opponent's chess pieces into your own chess pieces?
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli stood up and said to Li Dajiang, "Go!"
Everyone present was horrified, even Li Dajiang himself opened his eyes wide in shock, "Miss..."
Yu Qingli said seriously, "What? Don't you want to leave?"
"Ms. Dong, how could you just let him go like that? He should be arrested and reported to the authorities. He's caused Miss Dong to lose so much money and even ruined the reputation of the dyeing factory!"
"Yes, Miss Dong, how could you let such a person go like this?"
Chuqi stood aside in silence. Although he didn't know what the young lady was thinking, he believed that the young lady had her own reasons for her decision.
Even Mei Hong couldn't help but lower her head and whisper in Yu Qingli's ear, "Miss, this man has caused you great losses. Are you going to let him go like this? We should arrest him and confront Jiang Bai."
Confrontation? Yu Qingli sneered inwardly. He was just a distant cousin of Jiang Bai. If Jiang Bai insisted that he didn't know him, what could anyone do to him? Wouldn't the result be the same?
Don't be naive. Since Yu Zhengsha has handed this matter over to Jiang Bai, he has almost given up this chess piece, and it may even include his life!
What's more, if things failed, letting this person return to Yu Zhengsha would only make him more angry and make him realize his failure. It would also be a warning and mockery to him. The ideal situation would be that when this person was left with no other options, he would turn to her subordinates again. If that were the case, she would have made a profit.
After much thought, letting him go is the best option.
So even though there were many voices of opposition around her, Yu Qingli still said to Li Dajiang, "Why don't you leave? Do you really want to go to jail?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and untied the ropes that bound him, and in front of everyone's astonished gazes, gestured for him to leave as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Li Dajiang looked at Yu Qingli meaningfully, then hurriedly fled the dyeing workshop and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
"Miss Boss, you really have a kind heart. But in this way, no one will bear your losses, right?" Shopkeeper Qiu sighed.
"It doesn't matter. As long as everyone works together to help Qingli in the future, the lost money will definitely be earned back."
Yu Qingli smiled brightly, and the workers said one by one: "We will definitely work hard to help the young lady make up for the losses!"
