Chapter 248 Backhand
Seeing that his face looked bad, Bai Xun said, "I'll go with you."
When the group arrived at the warehouse, they saw Bai Fugui and a group of people busy with buckets and brooms.
"Fugui, what are you doing?" Xu Shuisheng asked.
Bai Fugui glanced at Bai Xun and Nan Chun behind Xu Shuisheng and said with a smile, "There's a rat in the warehouse. I thought I'd take my brothers to clean it up."
Nanchun's face was gloomy and he walked straight in.
"Where is the kerosene?"
Xu Shuisheng hurriedly followed and led the way: "Second Young Madam, she's over here."
As Xu Shuisheng spoke, he stepped on the water and saw that the bottom of the kerosene barrel was full of water.
"Bai Fugui, you idiot! Why are you splashing water while I'm cleaning?"
Bai Fugui heard his shouts and hurried over: "The rats are hiding in here. It's full of oil. Fire and smoke won't work. We can only force the rats out by pouring water. Otherwise, the grain and medicinal materials in the other warehouse will be destroyed. Isn't this barrel waterproof? Otherwise, it can't hold oil."
Nanchun's face was gloomy: "Open it and take a look."
Bai Fugui hurried forward, brought over a bucket, and opened it in front of everyone.
Xu Shuisheng leaned over and sniffed it, then took a closer look: "Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, there's nothing wrong."
Bai Xun nodded, pointed to a bucket and said, "Okay, Shuisheng, put this bucket in the car and we'll take it to show Master Wu. You guys clean up the water quickly and don't touch this batch of goods. The company will need it later."
"I understand, Second Young Master." Bai Fugui said with a smile.
Xu Shuisheng was a little worried, so he arranged for a few people to watch over him before he left.
"Go back to Baiyuan." Bai Xun said.
"It's still early. Are we going back to Baiyuan now?" Nanchun asked in confusion.
"Don't you also suspect that there is something wrong with the oil? Let's go back and test it and we'll know." Bai Xun said.
"The one who understands me is Bai Xun!" Nanchun said with a smile.
"Is there a problem? I just smelled it and looked at it, and there is no problem." Xu Shuisheng said in surprise.
"We'll know when we go back and test it." Nanchun said.
Back at Baiyuan, Bai Xun asked Ah Fu to bring two buckets, and then asked him and Ah Fu to pour out the oil.
The contents of the first bucket looked normal, but the contents of the second bucket were clearly not right.
Xu Shuisheng was furious when he saw this: "It's watered down! These bastards! I'm going to find them!"
The water sank below the kerosene, so he couldn't see it from above just now.
"Who are you looking for?" Nanchun asked with a dark face.
"Looking for... of course we're looking for those foreign profiteers!" said Xu Shuisheng.
"The money and goods have been paid, and you go to find the owner two months later? Who will recognize him? And... it's still hard to say whether he is the one behind this!" Nanchun said.
Xu Shuisheng calmed down and thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Second Young Madam, you are suspicious..."
"You Qi was so angry that he wanted to shoot me at the door of Wu Ye's house. How could he give up so easily? The warehouse was infested with rats and we had to clean it. The kerosene warehouse was flooded, and there was water in the kerosene barrel." Nan Chun said.
Xu Shuisheng was a little bit unconvinced. Although Bai Fugui had many bad habits, he was loyal to the eldest young master and he would not do anything to let the company down.
"He was very nice to me today. Don't you think it's unusual?" Nanchun looked at Xu Shuisheng.
really……
I heard that Bai Fugui and the Second Young Madam were classmates and had a bad relationship when they were young. That day in the warehouse, he was extremely rude to the Second Young Madam, raising his eyebrows and looking at her in a glare.
"I'll ask Bai Fugui clearly!" said Xu Shuisheng.
"Wait! You have no evidence. If you go there, you will alert the enemy. He might even bite back at us, saying that we wronged him and that I, his wife, don't like him and am taking revenge on him." Nanchun said with a pout.
"Oh! This damn Bai Fugui! I knew he was not a good guy! I didn't expect he would dare to betray the Bai family!" Ah Fu said angrily.
"He is competing with me. He wants to see me fail and make a fool of myself in front of others." Nan Chun said with a pout.
"Bastard! Don't worry, Second Young Madam, I will make him pay!" Xu Fei said angrily.
"Let's just pretend this never happened, and let Bai Fugui think we haven't discovered his conspiracy. This trick is not something his pig brain can come up with. He must have someone behind the scenes directing him.
"Shuisheng, investigate secretly to see if he has any contact with You Qi. If so, they will definitely meet again. If you catch him red-handed, he will have no choice but to confess." Bai Xun said.
"Okay, I get it. But... the kerosene is gone, what should we do? It will take Daniel half a month to get it over, and we won't be able to make it in time!" Xu Shuisheng said with a frown.
"It's okay. The Fourth Master of Jincheng has stored a lot of kerosene. I will write a letter to the Fourth Master later. Ah Fu and Xu Fei, you two should pack up and take the letter to Jincheng." Bai Xun said.
"Okay." Xu Fei and Afu agreed quickly.
Wait until things are arranged properly.
Nan Chun smiled and said, "I was afraid there might be problems, so I kept two backup plans. I didn't expect you to keep another one."
"Even if I don't tell you, you should be able to think of getting kerosene from the Fourth Master, right?" Bai Xun said with a smile on his face.
This is true.
Previously in Jincheng, Nanchun had heard Shopkeeper Shi mention that Jincheng lacked a power plant, relying solely on oil lamps and candles. Foreigners, with their low prices for kerosene and candles, commanded a large share of the market. Although the Fourth Master controlled all of this business, the foreigners still pocketed the lion's share.
The Fourth Master has a large amount of kerosene.
That’s why Nanchun was angry but not panicked even though she was plotted against time and time again.
Nanchun grinned: "We are now in perfect sync with each other."
Bai Xun reached out and gently scratched his nose. "You and I are one, so naturally we understand each other. But, this Bai Fugui... I blame myself for being too merciful back then! Thinking he was also a member of the Bai family, I let him go."
"What do you mean?" Nanchun looked at him in surprise.
Bai Xun was slightly startled, touched his nose somewhat unnaturally, and said, "Nothing, it's just... it was my brother and I who suggested bringing Bai Fugui to Yangcheng."
Nanchun was a little surprised. He thought that Bai Fugui had hooked up with the eldest young master and got a good job in Yangcheng.
I didn't expect that it was Bai Xun who proposed it.
Bai Xun usually doesn't interfere in the eldest young master's employment affairs.
By the way, wasn’t Bai Fugui leaving Baijiazhai for Yangcheng the day after he had an argument with him?
Thinking of this, Nanchun couldn't hide the smile on his face: "You didn't take him away because of me, did you?"
Bai Xun's thoughts were guessed. He raised his hand and touched Nan Chun's face, saying, "Well, he's such an eyesore, always causing trouble for you. I remembered his last name, Bai, so I told him to stay away from you. I didn't expect to see him here again. He hasn't improved at all and is still so despicable and shameless."
Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "If it's proven that he's betraying the company, we should inform the eldest young master. After all, he's his man now, so he should deal with him."
"Ah."
