916 Business becomes ashes

PreviousBack to directoryNext
It was already late when Xia Zhaoyi returned to the city and met Zhan Ning and Tang Taosheng.

The streets of Shoushi were exceptionally quiet after nightfall. A lonely wanted notice fell from the notice board, and Li Man quickly went to pick it up.

"Cao Yijun." Xia Zhaoyi read the name above.

"General of the attack camp." Zhan Ning said, mentioning by the way that an old friend of Zhu Xian's classmates was arrested for speaking out.

Xia Zhaoyi nodded and put away the wanted notice without further discussion.

This time when I returned to the city, I stopped going to Jinchuanfang and took a long, remote road to stay at a small inn.

Zhan Ning whispered about Yuxi Tower while walking.

There were basically no special circumstances on the Zhiye side. The biggest incident was Lu Mingfeng's provocation.

Cai He has been staying at home for several days, but Cai He's men go out frequently and don't know what to do.

The people from the Military Inspection Department really focused on the food purchase and secretly sent many people to investigate.

As for Lu Mingfeng, it is really difficult to check his movements.

After saying that, Zhan Ning asked Xia Zhaoyi: "Second Miss, how are you doing with the things you have to do when you leave the city this time?"

"Well, that's it." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Her trip out of the city went very smoothly this time, or in other words, the journey of longevity and stone has been completed successfully.

At that time, he separated from Xia Jiajun and followed Shoushi, originally for Cai He, Mu Tingyu and Qian Yuandeng.

This time we took Shi Guoxin and Li Man out of the city to look for traces of Li Xiao's army.

Unexpectedly, Qian Yuandeng and Mu Tingyu bumped into each other one after another, for fear that she would not be able to find them.

What Xia Zhaoyi didn't expect was that Mu Tingyu and Qian Yuandeng had a serious rift, so she changed her previous plan and killed Qian Yuandeng first, leaving Mu Ting behind.

Yu returned to Hejing and took root.

As for Lu Mingfeng's provocation, Zhan Ning said with worry: "If we really want to take action against Mr. Zhi, it will be difficult for us to take action."

"It's not our turn to take action," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Master Zhi is the god of wealth to many people. Businessmen with half a stone's life will protect him, so don't worry."

"Second Miss, this is Lu Mingfeng."

"Lu Mingfeng," Xia Zhaoyi repeated these three words, "Actually, it's good to follow the good deeds."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Ning said, "What the second lady means is that it is as Lu Mingfeng wishes?"

"In this case," Xia Zhaoyi stopped, "go to Zhao Ning's bank immediately and withdraw three hundred taels of cash."

"Three hundred...two?" Zhan Ning said blankly.

"It's up to us to cut off this 'business'," Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and looked at the wanted notice in his hand, "send someone familiar to hint to Lu Mingfeng that we are Cao Yijun's people. Cao Yijun hates Shen Lie.

If he spends this unjust money, Lu Mingfeng will not be suspicious."

"But Miss Er, three hundred taels is far from enough. At the price of the horse bandits, three hundred taels can only cover two tea bills. Our silver taels were obviously smashed into the water, and we couldn't even hear a ding-dong sound. Moreover, it was heavy.

Isn’t Mr. Lang a close friend of the second young lady?”

"We will add more silver taels later. We will hire them as many times as Lu Mingfeng asks for troops."

When the land is exhausted, I will take my family and you with me and run to Tanzhou to raise him."

"Hahaha..." Zhan Ning and others laughed.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Shen is going to drive people away with a broom," Tang Tao said with a smile, "One or two is okay, but with a family and a family, there are more than a thousand people, who can bear it."

"Hahaha, he ran away carrying mountains of gold and silver all night long!" Zhan Ning said.

"Pfft!" Xia Zhaoyi was amused.

Tang Taosheng took Xia Zhaoyi and the others back to the inn first, and Zhan Ning went to Zhao Ning's bank at night.

Because the ticket stub and the ticket number on it were all Ning'an Tower's special priority category, even if Zhan Ning did not report his family name, the bank manager came to entertain him personally.

However, the cash needs to be adjusted. Zhan Ning understands the rules and just wants to say hello first.

On the way back, Zhan Ning met several groups of soldiers and horses running towards the east. The long street was illuminated by bright torches. They were all soldiers wearing armor, at least a thousand people.

Zhan Ning hid it first and did not expose it.

When everyone was gone, Zhan Ning had to choose between following up to find out, or returning to the inn first.

At this moment, Zhan Ning discovered other people who were following in the dark.

After thinking for a while, Zhan Ning followed.

As a scout, Zhan Ning is extremely skilled in tracking and counter-tracking.

He followed the soldiers and horses all the way to a large house that looked like it was not just waiting for someone else. There was a plaque "Liu Mansion" hanging on it.

Then, Zhan Ning was shocked when he saw the men and women following these soldiers and horses.

At the same time, there was also a great shock within the Liu family.

His subordinates came to tell them. Although they were prepared, Liu Yun and the housekeeper were still in a hurry.

They ordered the unsuspecting subordinates in the mansion to leave through the back door, and they took "their own people" through the secret passage under the bed in the master bedroom.

Before leaving, they left a code in the corner and set a fire.

The air in the secret passage was very smelly. As he ran, Liu Yun thought hard about what went wrong.

The housekeeper told him not to think too much and to pay attention to the road under his feet first.

It was impossible to call too many craftsmen for major repairs on the secret passage, and those few who were called would have been secretly executed long ago. The entire secret passage was rugged and steep, stumbling in the dark, with only a weak kerosene lamp for illumination.

As the largest and tallest person on the scene, Deputy General Qiu suffered the most.

His head hit the wall several times, and a very large blood bag appeared.

He covered his head and began to get angry. Liu Yun, the housekeeper and others had no choice but to endure the scolding.

We came out in the backyard of another mansion, about five hundred steps away from Liu's mansion.

The air suddenly felt fresh, and Lieutenant General Qiu stretched out his hand to grab Liu Yun's collar: "What the hell is going on?!"

Liu Yun was also thinking hard about today's conversation with the little official.

As an oil merchant, he wanted to ask a few questions about market purchases, so this shouldn't be a big problem.

When I thought about it, I couldn't help but think of Cao Yijun's wanted order.

Maybe it's not because of today, but because he was targeted early on.

Lieutenant General Qiu was furious and threw Liu Yun to the ground. Lieutenant General Qiu cursed: "You are a waste! No wonder you are asked to come to Shoushi. If you are capable and capable, who would not go to Dadu Prefecture? You are a waste!"

The housekeeper helped Liu Yun up.

Liu Yun lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

It was useless to say anything. Now the surroundings were filled with voices shouting "put out the fire".

With the fire, everything turned to ashes, and so many years of hard work disappeared into thin air.

At this moment, many sounds came from down the secret passage.

“Walking here!”

"This way!"

"Follow closely, be careful there is an ambush ahead!"

Liu Yun and others' eyes widened.

Lieutenant General Qiu yelled: "You are just a bird envoy! You are the only one who broke the secret tunnel! You can't even build a secret tunnel!"

"Now we can only run separately!" the housekeeper said hurriedly, "Vice General Qiu, let's leave quickly!"
