After Yi Wen and the others made their decision, Qu Jingyao followed Yi Wen into the room. After Qu Jingyao entered the room, Fang Zhou and others were sitting around the table, seemingly waiting for Qu Jingyao to reveal their Qu family's plan.

.

"Young heroes, it seems that we don't need to talk anymore? How about we talk about cooperation directly?" Qu Jingyao looked at their expressions with interest and asked.

"Sister, you want us to believe that you should at least let us know your plan, right? If your plan is not as secure as ours, then I think our cooperation should be limited to keeping secrets, right?" Mao Yu looked at it

Looking at Qu Jingyao's confident look, she shook her head and said.

"Of course!" As expected, it's not that simple. Only now did Qu Jingyao realize that although these people in front of her had made major mistakes before leading to the current situation, they were generally very cautious, compared to their peers.

Pretty good.

"According to our Qujia merchants' observations today, the defenders at the four city gates only checked the people leaving the city, while the people entering the city were basically only briefly interrogated or even checked, so we only need to use

With this loophole, they can send the five of them out of the city." Qu Jingyao then told everyone the details of the plan one by one, and everyone felt relieved. The success rate of this plan on paper seemed to be very high.

At least the success rate is much higher than their plan.

Qu Jingyao looked at everyone who fell into silence and smiled and said, "How about I go out for a while and you can discuss it?"

"There's no need for that. It's true that a family that can take on the whole city is really good at it. I admire it!" After listening to Qu Jingyao's plan, everyone felt that it was a feasible plan. Then Yi Wen stood up and clasped his fists and continued: "It was us before.

I'm too cautious, I hope Miss Qu can forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, it's always better to be cautious when going out." Qu Jingyao said with a smile.

After everyone discussed the details of the plan with Qu Jingyao, Qu Jingyao told them the time and place. After explaining everything, she went back to prepare, while Yi Wen and others were waiting in the room.

The departure time has arrived.

The sky is getting dark, and today is the day when the Qu family buys goods for the shops in the city. As the largest chamber of commerce in Lingtai City, the Qu family usually buys goods once a month or even twice a month. This is very difficult for the residents of Lingtai City.

This is something that is not surprising to us.

"Is today the day for the Qu family to purchase goods?" A man dressed as a Qian family at the South City Gate casually asked the people around him.

The man nodded and said respectfully: "Back to Master Qianhu, in the past, the Qu family also purchased goods in the past two days. The last time they purchased goods was half a month ago."

The Qianhu looked at the large flag with the word "Qu" floating in the distance outside the South City Gate and the large number of carriages, and felt a little suspicious. Although he had no evidence to prove that the Qu family was connected with the three thieves, he still had to

Beware, after all, the Qu family is also a major concern for the city lord.

Then the Qianhu said to himself: "I hope I am too worried!"

Can

Yes, that's just what he hopes. What should be investigated should still be investigated. The Lord of the City has taken special care of it, especially the people of the Qu family. Since it is the Lord of the City who has taken special care of him, he should do his best! Qianhu then ordered people

He opened the city gate and let some people go out of the city to check the goods, and then he took the people to check the people who picked up the goods.

Generally, when the Qu family receives goods, two merchant representatives and forty-eight servants, a total of fifty people, will be arranged to pick up the goods. The servants who receive the goods are directly selected from the chamber of commerce under the name of the Qu family. This is to facilitate inquiries.

The list of people can be better managed, which of course is also a lot more convenient for the defenders.

Qianhu led the city defenders to the merchants who were receiving the goods. The two merchant representatives saw Qianhu as if they were seeing their biological fathers, and greeted him with smiles on their faces.

"Sir Qianhu, long time no see! How can I take care of you today?" One of the fat shopkeepers took out two ingots of silver from his arms and quietly stuffed them into Qianhu's hands. He asked with an apologetic smile while stuffing them.

This kind of extra money is not in vain. Qianhu nodded and said: "You know about the recent robbery of the city? I hope you have nothing to do with those thieves, otherwise you will not be able to vent your anger on the city lord even if you have ten heads.

Already."

The configuration of officials in Yufeng Kingdom is similar to that in Gu'an Kingdom. There are city lords and city-defending generals in one city. However, Lingtai City is a border fortress, so the city lord has to hold on to two positions. Although he is a military attache.

Although he was born in China, he felt that the official uniform of a civil servant could bring him official luck, so he rarely wore armor outside.

At this time, the Lord of the City was watching everything that happened here in a teahouse not far away. Although the people sent to investigate this time were all his trustworthy people, this time was not a trivial matter, and it was still necessary to personally supervise the battle.

"How can we not! We are all serious merchants, how can we join in the same trap with those little thieves? Mr. Qianhu, you can rest assured that you will investigate what needs to be investigated. We will never cheat!" Another thinner merchant also stuffed two coins.

The ingot of silver came into the hands of Qianhu. While stuffing the money, he angrily rebuked the bad behavior of this thieves, as if he was on the same front with the master Qianhu.

How many of these officials don't like to hear a few nice words from others? But the adults of this Qianhu household are quite shrewd. They know that the fat and thin brothers are notoriously difficult to deal with, so they deal with it casually after a few words.

Went to check the list.

After confirming the names on the list, Qianhu looked at each person's face again, keeping them in mind to avoid any problems later. After checking, the Qianhu adults felt a lot more relieved, because

The fat and thin brothers really didn't play any tricks this time, and many of the servants he had seen before.

Although I have never seen a small number of them, the servants also have to take care of apprentices. It is reasonable to see two new faces occasionally. What's more, this is a normal purchase for the Qu family. After this time

Therefore, the strict investigation is only due to the special care of the city lord.

"Work, work!" The fat and thin brothers saw that after Qianhu had finished checking, they took the people behind them to the city gate to pick them up. The people they brought

Some led the carriages in different directions, and some started unloading directly at the city gate.

There are many casinos operating in Lingtai City at night, and some roads are still blocked. If the carriage goes in now, it will be impossible to get out tonight. Therefore, some goods will be unloaded on the spot at the city gate, and then wait a little later.

At that time, the Qu family's carriages were specially used to pull goods. Those carriages taken to other places were located in relatively remote places. At this time, after unloading the goods, they could quickly return to the city gate to gather.

Although Qianhu checked it himself, he was still not at ease. This time he heard that the city lord personally supervised the battle, so he had better do his best. Then he stayed at the gate of the city and stared at the fat and thin brothers, letting his

The subordinates led a few people to follow the carriages entering the city. Although this was just a routine purchase for the Qu family, in this sensitive period, anyone could collude with the three thieves.

During the entire process of the Qu family's purchase of goods, no one was relaxed at all. Qianhu and all the soldiers were closely watching the loading and unloading process. During the whole process, people from the shops came out of the shops where the carriage went.

Unloading, and these soldiers even remembered the appearance of each person unloading so as not to miss anything. The people on the carriage were as motionless as uncles, and there was no possibility of them taking anyone away.

After the goods were unloaded, all the carriages gathered at the South City Gate again. The soldiers responsible for surveillance also came back and reported to Qianhu that all the shops had not moved. Judging from the current situation, the three thieves should still be there.

In the city, just in case, Qianhu personally checked the guys brought by the fat and thin brothers again, and felt relieved after confirming that they were correct.

"Lord Qianhu, what's going on? Have you caught those three thieves? If you need help with anything, just tell us! We are all from Lingtai City, so don't be polite to us!" said the fat shopkeeper.

He said with an expression that said he was sworn in with the three thieves.

"Okay, you go and do your work first! You have nothing to do here!" Qianhu glanced at the two shopkeepers, the fat one and the thin one. No matter how he looked at these people, they didn't look innocent, but the fact was that

They monitored all the carriages under their noses, but no suspicious people were seen coming or going.

"Then we brothers will not disturb Mr. Qianhu's business. Mr. Qianhu should come and sit here often when he has time!" After the fat and thin shopkeeper finished handing over the goods, he chatted with Qianhu for a few words before leaving the city gate.

Qianhu was also unhappy that he had not caught the three thieves who had stolen the city this time. He did not want to see their faces now, so he waved his hands casually and went to guard the city wall again.

Everything that happened here was seen by the Lord of the City. He was quite satisfied with the actions of the Qianhu, and basically did everything he could think of. However, the Lord of the City seemed to have his own considerations, as the Qu family

After the delivery horse team left the city, he quickly left the teahouse and didn't know what he was doing.

At this time, at a place not far from the city gate, Qu Jingyao was still wearing her light yellow dress. After seeing the delivery carriage leave, an imperceptible smile appeared on her lips, and then she turned towards the Qu family.
