Chapter 806: The Source of the Silk in Case of Incident
When Jiang Suining and Wei Yao got the news and rushed back, Zheng was already running around in a panic at home.
She and Jiang Zhitong analyzed the situation together, and the more they analyzed, the more they felt that the person who was behind the Jiang family would probably not stop there.
Seeing Wei Yao and Jiang Suining coming back, they hurriedly told them all the news they had received.
"We were too careless. We should have firmly rejected the business from Prince Su's Mansion before." Jiang Suining's brows were solemn.
"Sui Ning, do you mean that it was Prince Su who set up the trap? Are you sure?" Jiang Zhitong asked.
Although his first reaction after hearing the news was Prince Su's Palace, there was no evidence after all, so he couldn't be completely sure.
"It should be almost certain. Apart from Prince Su's Mansion, I can't think of anyone else who would do this."
"But how did Prince Su's Mansion do it? Mu Shi has been watching carefully during this period, for fear that something might go wrong." Wei Yao's face was full of confusion and worry.
She could clearly see how much effort Mu Shi had put into this business during this period, and it was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort.
Under such circumstances, I really can't think of how Prince Su's Mansion can make any moves.
"We don't know much about this matter. If we want to find out, I'm afraid we have to ask Mu Shi in person."
"Yes, we have to go see Mu Shi. He is in prison now and we don't know what his situation is. I hope no one is torturing him." The more Zheng spoke, the more frightened she became.
Although she did not spoil her son and often punished him when he was young, those were just minor quarrels at home.
Now he is locked up in the government office. What if the people in the government office torture him?
"Mother, don't be nervous. If it's just the forbidden flowers and plants, then they shouldn't torture Mu Shi. After all, the silk has been confiscated, which is sufficient evidence. They don't need to interrogate him."
Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then quickly became nervous again, "So, does that mean your brother is really going to be charged with this crime?"
"A Yao and I will first find a way to meet Mu Shi and find out what's going on. As for whether he is really guilty... Don't worry, father and mother, we will definitely find a way to find out the truth and clear the Jiang family and Mu Shi's name." Jiang Suining said comfortingly.
Soon, she and Wei Yao left the Jiang family and rushed to the imperial government office.
After learning about Jiang Suining and Wei Yao's identities, the people from the yamen did not make things too difficult for them and quickly took them to the jail.
When the two arrived, Jiang Mushi was leaning against the wall of the cell, wearing a prison uniform.
When Jiang Mushi saw Jiang Suining and Wei Yao, his eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and walked to the prison door.
"Ayao, sister, I knew you would come."
"Are you hurt? Is anything wrong?" Wei Yao looked him up and down anxiously.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. They just took me back to the yamen and locked me up in this cell. They didn't do anything else." Jiang Mushi spoke quickly.
Wei Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she knew that the people in the yamen would not use torture, Wei Yao was still nervous on the way here, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
"Mu Shi, we already know about the prohibited floral patterns found in the silk, but we still need you to explain the details in detail."
"That's right, tell us quickly what's going on. Haven't you been keeping a close eye on it all this time? How could such a big problem arise?" Wei Yao asked hurriedly.
Jiang Mushi's face darkened and his brows furrowed.
"I was careless this time after all."
Although he had been keeping an eye on the workers to ensure that there were no mistakes during this period, he overlooked one thing, which was the silk that had already been made and stored in the warehouse.
In addition to the newly made silks delivered this time, there was also a very small portion of the remaining stock in the warehouse.
And the brocades woven with thousands of fragrant flowers should have been taken out from the warehouse.
"I didn't expect that there would be problems with the silk that had been made in the warehouse. The silk had already been packed, so it was not unpacked for inspection when it was loaded onto the truck." Jiang Mushi's tone was filled with regret, "It's all my fault for being too careless!"
"Who would have thought that there would be problems with the silk that had been stored in the warehouse for a long time? You can't be blamed for this. The only one to blame is the person who tampered with it. It's really too insidious!" Wei Yao comforted Jiang Mushi while cursing in her heart.
Jiang Suining stood aside without saying a word.
Jiang Mushi looked at her, his expression becoming even more guilty.
"Sister, it's all my fault. If I had been more careful and unpacked and checked the silks again when they were shipped out, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
If the matter cannot be investigated thoroughly and the Jiang family cannot be proven innocent, then the Jiang family's silk business will probably fall into decline.
My father had run the Jiang family business for so many years without any problems, but now he had just taken over and had already caused such a big trouble...
Jiang Mushi lowered his head guiltily.
"What A Yao said just now is right. You can't be blamed for this. If anyone is to blame, it can only be blamed on the person behind the scenes, or..."
"Or what?" Jiang Mushi asked when he saw Jiang Suining stopped talking in the middle of his words.
"Or maybe I should be blamed." Jiang Suining sighed, "This incident was most likely done by Prince Su, but he has no grudge against the Jiang family, so there is no reason for him to do such a thing to frame the Jiang family. The only explanation is that he has a grudge against me because of the incident at the Women's Academy, so he is targeting the Jiang family."
"It is indeed possible." Wei Yao pursed her lips. "If it is because of the Women's Academy, then you are not the only one who has a grudge against him. But if Prince Su has something to do, why can't he come after us, but go after the Jiang family? It's really shameless!"
"Sister, Yao, please don't think like that. I was careless about this matter, and I was the one who took over the business. I can't blame you, not to mention..."
"Okay, in this situation, let's not try to take the blame on ourselves." Jiang Suining shook his head to stop Jiang Mushi's words, "The most urgent thing now is to solve the current trouble. The matter of illegal flowers and plants is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. If it is not handled well, I am afraid that I will not be able to avoid jail time."
Jiang Suining's words made Jiang Mushi and Wei Yao both nervous.
"Sui Ning, what do you think we should do now?"
