Chapter 312 Unsolved Mysteries

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the aroma of mooncakes filled the streets and alleys, and the usually quiet Longsheng Street suddenly became lively.

Good heavens! What on earth is the owner of Longsheng Street up to? A year ago, he sold all the goods in every shop on Longsheng Street at half price.

And Longsheng Street, which was once famous throughout the country, has simply disappeared from our world. Don't you think this is too strange?

Hey! Have you forgotten? A year ago, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a fire somehow burned the Yang mansion to the ground.

The people in the Yang family seemed to have vanished into thin air overnight! No matter how hard the members of the Black Rentang searched, they couldn't find them.

Yes, yes, yes! I heard someone mention it when I was washing clothes by the river. I wonder if those members of the Yang family had all died in that fire.

If it's really as you say, then why wasn't any of the dozen or so corpses carried out of the Yang mansion back then those of Young Master Mu Wang?

Could it be that the fire that burned the Yang family mansion to the ground was set by young master Mu Wang?

After he set the fire, he quickly armed himself and fled to another place with Madam Yang and his wife and children.

Good heavens! Don't you think your hypothesis is utterly absurd? Just imagine, who would commit such a heinous act?

Yes, yes, yes! The eldest son of the Yang family set fire to his family's old house, burning it to the ground. What was he after?

Do you think the reason he did this was to get rid of the people in Heirentang?

Don't you think that if the Yang family continues to support them unconditionally, sooner or later they will starve them out of their means?

Moreover, we are now in the 70s, and families like the Yang family, which had landlord class backgrounds, would generally be subjected to criticism and struggle sessions.

Do you think Young Master Yang knew this all along, which is why he came up with the idea of ​​setting fire to the Yang mansion and burning it to the ground?

Hmm! I think what you said makes some sense! But how do you explain why the owner of Longsheng Street would suddenly sell all his goods at a low price?

Hey! Do I even need to answer such a simple question?

Of course, the owner of Longsheng Street did this because he didn't want to continue operating this incredibly prosperous commercial street.

If, as you just said, the owner of Longsheng Street doesn't want to continue operating Longsheng Street, he can simply transfer the entire street to someone else.

Why sell all of its products? Don't you find this strange?

Furthermore, I also heard that before this incident, the owners of Shenglong Street had spread the word that some of their shop doors on Longsheng Street could be rented to ordinary people like us.

I've heard about what you're talking about. Not only that, they've also announced that if anyone is willing to rent their shop, they'll waive the rent for three months.

Ah! When you hear this news, don't you think the owner of this street called Shenglong Street has something wrong with his head?

Brother, don't you think the reason the owner of Shenglong Street did this is to encourage us ordinary people to open our own small shops?

Haha! Just as you thought, the head of Shenglong Street intends to support us ordinary people.

But think about it, how many people would actually respond to their proposal?

Moreover, in the month leading up to this incident, how many people had stomach aches after eating at the Longsheng Hotel?

During that period, the entrance to Changchun Medical Clinic was trampled by people who got sick from eating at the Shenglong Hotel.

Oh! How could this happen? I remember that Shenglong Hotel always had a very good reputation in our area!

Yes, yes, yes! I think the owner of the Longsheng Hotel might have been targeted by a malicious person? Or perhaps framed? That's why someone put something unclean in the food at the Longsheng Hotel?

Hmm! What you said makes some sense, but there's one thing I don't understand: who exactly did the owner of Shenglong Street offend?

Why would someone go to such lengths to frame the head of Shenglong Street? Don't you think this person is trying to destroy Shenglong Street?

Hmm! I guess this person must have seen how well the Longsheng Hotel was doing before.

That's why he harbored resentment and came up with the idea of ​​ruining the reputation of Longsheng Hotel.

But what good would it do him to destroy this bustling commercial street?

Haha! We two old men are just sitting here chatting because we have nothing better to do today. Seeing this once bustling street so desolate, we can't help but feel a deep sense of melancholy.

Why do you have to dig so deep? Besides, you shouldn't even ask about this!

And even if you knew the truth, so what? Do you have any good ideas on how to restore this street, which has been closed for more than a year, to its former glory?

If you really have that ability, you can build your own commercial street like the owner of Longsheng Street.

Instead of just sitting here playing chess with me and spouting nonsense. Besides, creating a bustling commercial street like Shenglong Street is no easy task.

Did you say that before, brother? Didn't someone reveal that the reason Longsheng Street was able to be built, this bustling commercial street, was because it was backed by the wealth of the Yang family?

Haha! The fact that you said that is enough to prove that you're not from our area.

As we locals all know, Longsheng Street was built by the owner of the street through his hard work.

Back then, it had been almost a year since Longsheng Street was built, and the family of the street owner had no idea about it.

Haha! It seems this street owner has done an excellent job of keeping it a secret! I bet he's afraid his family will challenge him for control of the street once they find out.

Maybe they used to have a really good relationship! But when they found out that the brothers were the street owners of Longsheng, they started to betray each other.

No! Old man, you're completely wrong! Because Long'er would never choose to harm the elder for her own petty interests.

Therefore, the moment my elder brother returned to the Yang residence, I handed over all management authority to him.

When the two elderly people heard this, they both looked up into the distance, only to see that the place from which the sound came was shrouded in a thick fog.
