The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 244 The Main Culprit and His Accomplices
This is a cliché story about a man from a humble background who tries to marry into a wealthier family and then murders his wife and children.

The woman in blue, Qingniang, was the wife who was abandoned and killed.

Perhaps it was fate that Qingniang survived, she managed to escape from the sea of ​​fire, but her appearance and voice were completely disfigured, to the point that any casual glimpse of her could terrify a child.

Hatred sustained her through the years. For five years, she had been constantly thinking about taking revenge on Zhan Liang, but she knew she only had one chance.

So, she prepared for five long years to get revenge on Zhan Liang.

The reason for starting with the caravan was that Qingniang unexpectedly saved another woman who had been wronged, namely Yang Laoda's wife, Yunshi.

Yang Laoda and Zhan Liang were birds of a feather. He disliked his wife for being old and dull, and since he couldn't find a good excuse to divorce her, he abandoned her in the desolate mountains while he was on a business trip. He told the outside world that Yun had eloped with someone.

Yun followed Yang Laoda all over the country; she was no ordinary housewife, and a mountain could not confine her.

She was unwilling to accept that after bearing children for Yang Laoda, she ended up being abandoned.

She begged her way back to Qingyang Prefecture, only to learn that Yang the Elder had already married a new bride.

The people in the caravan discovered the Yun family and told Boss Yang.

Yang, not wanting his new wife to discover that Yun was not dead, tied her up with several of the caravan's men and threw her into a dry well, intending to starve her to death.

Qingniang had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Zhan family. Since the caravan was Zhan Liang's cash cow, it was naturally within her scope of attention.

She noticed the unusual behavior of Yang Laoda and his group, so she secretly followed them and unexpectedly saved Yun Shi.

What followed was the two women's revenge against Boss Yang and Zhan Liang.

Curses, traps, hidden weapons... the two women worked together to completely outmaneuver the caravan.

If Shang Wan hadn't discovered the roll of silk thread on the tree and reported it to the authorities, this deadly game could have continued.

The reason why Qingniang was able to appear in the young man's room without being noticed was because she dug a tunnel connecting to the kitchen of the courtyard.

The fat cook was killed because he always liked to stay in the kitchen and was too much of a nuisance.

After Qingniang was arrested last night, perhaps knowing she couldn't escape, Shang Wan questioned her briefly, and Qingniang confessed everything, even taking the blame for the murder.

She said that Yun only helped her set up traps and clean up the mess, and never killed anyone with her own hands.

When Yunshi waited in vain for Qingniang, she actually walked right into the trap and took the blame upon herself.

The two women were vying to confess, and almost came to blows, leaving Shang Wan speechless.

One is the ringleader and the other is an accomplice; neither of them can escape.

By helping to hand the person over to the government office, Shang Wan used this opportunity to exchange some benefits with Lord An.

She hoped that the government could help put pressure on Zhan Liang, preferably by expressing some intention to accept bribes, so that they could negotiate with Zhan Liang more easily.

Lord An was very kind; he not only helped put pressure on the people, but also specifically instructed the officers to wait until everything was settled before making the arrest.

"Wanwan is truly capable." Hua Niangzi took Shang Wan's arm, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.

Madam Shu folded the contract and put it in her bosom, smiling as she said, "We really owe a lot to Manager Shang this time."

Ten thousand taels of silver could buy a caravan of a hundred people; no one would believe it if you told them.

"Let's go check out the caravan," suggested Lou Niangzi.

Shang Wan had the same idea, "It's a good opportunity to pick out all the scoundrels in the caravan."

They had just taken over the caravan and were unfamiliar with its internal workings, but one of them was.

Who knows the caravan's internal situation better than the caravan's accountant? The young man, Wu Liang, had very mixed feelings after learning that he had a new boss who was also the person who had kidnapped him.

Although he wasn't very loyal to Zhan Liang, the fact that his former employer had fallen into the hands of his new employer so quickly put him under some pressure, and he even tightened his purse strings a bit.

"Are the accounts all here?"

"Yes." Wu Liang straightened his back, trying to look more energetic. "If there is anything unclear about the accounts, please point it out, and I will answer it to the best of my ability."

The major shareholder was Shang Wan, who contributed five thousand taels of silver, taking the lion's share in the partnership.

The remaining five thousand taels were raised by the sisters of the Lancang Society, with Madam Shu taking the largest share and being the second owner.

The other sisters each contributed roughly the same amount of money, all from the three landlords.

“I heard there are people in the caravan who are all show and no substance.” Shang Wan didn’t look at the accounts, but slammed the list of caravan members she had taken over from Zhan Liang onto the table. “Circle them all.”

Wu Liang: "..."

Despite the freezing weather, I broke out in a sweat all over my back.

The big boss is trying to weld him to their ship.

Seeing Wu Liang sitting still, Shang Wan raised an eyebrow, "Don't you want to be in the industry?"

That threatening expression was all too familiar. Wu Liang immediately picked up his pen and declared righteously, "For the future of the caravan, I am willing to serve my master like a dog."

He circled the names here and, as Shang Wan had requested, clearly noted what terrible things these people had done.

Meanwhile, the three women, including Lady Shu, were discussing who should be promoted to be the leader of the caravan, while looking at another list.

Yang, the eldest son, has been imprisoned in the government jail for premeditated murder of his wife. The caravan cannot be left leaderless.

Under the "friendly inquiry" of Shangwan, Boss Yang gave three candidates for successor.

You can't tell anything just by looking at the list, but Madam Shu has already told the staff to go and invite people.

Everyone in the caravan knew that the owner had changed.

Of course, they also heard about the affairs of the former boss and leader, and knew that although the new bosses were all women, they were not easy to control.

Therefore, the three of them were very respectful when they came over, and their manners were impeccable.

"Sit down and let's talk," Madam Shu said with a smile, inviting the three of them to sit down.

The three of them took their seats one after another.

"Now that Yang Wu has committed a crime and is in prison, the position of caravan leader is vacant. I have heard that the three of you are all veterans of the caravan and know the situation best. I wonder who you three think is suitable to take on the role of leader?"

Why would you ask them?
The three were astonished.

Normally, in situations like this, the boss would send a trusted confidant to be the leader. But judging from the tone of this second boss, it seems like he wants to choose from among them?
In an instant, all three of them became quite animated.

Who would want to be number two if they could be number one?
Although there is a boss above them, how much can the boss control when the caravan is on the move?
There are many ways to make money in the business world, and it can be quite lucrative. As long as you don't go too far, your employer usually won't mind.

The leader is the one who can make the most money, since he has the most power.

The three exchanged glances, each wanting the other to speak first and scout out the way for them.

The scene fell silent for a moment. Wu Liang looked up, then quickly lowered his head again to continue drawing circles under Shang Wan's watchful gaze.

Madam Shu took a sip of tea. "So, the three of you are unwilling? If that's the case, then..."

"Second Master!" Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, someone panicked and said, "I, Qin, shamelessly recommend myself."
