Brother Zhuizi is out. This matter needs to be investigated carefully.

"Be nice to the patient!" Chu Qing expressed dissatisfaction to Chu Yuan who was groaning and serving soup.

Chu Yuansheng took a sip of the soup and said angrily: "You haven't even admitted your mistake!"

"Isn't this soup for me?" Chu Qing pointed to the soup bowl.

"Well..." Chu Yuan looked at the empty bowl and blushed.

Brother Zhuizi came back at noon and went directly to Chu Qing.

"I have inquired, Zhang Mingyu went with the Meng family's caravan from Jiangnan." Brother Zhuizi said before sitting down.

"Jiangnan Meng family? Are you just following their caravan, or do you suspect them of smuggling iron ore?" Chu Qing frowned.

"It's hard to say," Brother Zhuizi also frowned: "A spy from the Secret Investigation Department originally investigated with Zhang Mingyu, but he followed the box of iron ingots and failed to follow. Then Zhang Mingyu suspected that they had changed people to change boxes, so he pretended to be a coolie.

Sneaked into the caravan."

"But only Zhang Mingyu got in. The spies here later found out that it was a team from the Meng family in Jiangnan."

"It's been more than a month and a half. I wonder if he..." Chu Qing did not continue, but Brother Zhuizi could understand her worries.

"What do you think about this?" Brother Zhuzi asked.

"Chengyi, let me be honest with you." Chu Qing felt a little embarrassed.

"Um?"

"I came here mainly because one of my men was seriously injured, but," Chu Qing pursed her lips, since she had told the truth, she had no guilt, "I suspect that this matter has something to do with the Meng family in Jizhou.

And the Jizhou Meng family is a branch of the Jiangnan Meng family."

Then, Chu Qing told the story of how his warehouse was coveted by the Jizhou Meng family and failed to acquire it several times, and then said: "My boys said that the Jizhou Meng family's offer was not low, but they did not agree, so something happened.

"

"Also, some of these Voss people have done business with our warehouse. They should have acted carefully before taking action." Chu Qing added.

"There's one more thing, I don't know what you think." Chu Qing thought of the situation on the street yesterday.

"Tell me." Brother Zhuizi paid more and more attention to Chu Qing's words.

"When Voss's horse team came over yesterday, I observed from the roof of the second floor that the road was basically empty. Of course, many merchants' servants were at our warehouse to help defend against the enemy."

"However, from the beginning to the end, no garrison came. Even now, no one has come. Isn't it strange?"

"Ordinarily, a cavalry team of fifty or sixty people came to Voss yesterday, which is not too small. How did they enter the city?"

"Also, seven days ago, the Voss people sent out more than 200 people, and all my boys came over to repel them. And they were almost beaten before the garrison arrived."

"Ordinarily, the garrison camp here is less than ten miles away, and several mutual markets in Xinlun Prefecture are all guarded by garrison troops."

After Chu Qing finished speaking, he looked at Brother Zhuizi, wanting to hear his analysis. After all, he was a professional, and he was just a second-hand swordsman.

"Do you doubt...?" Brother Zhuizi asked, but his expression was obviously positive.

"Yes." Chu Qing answered simply.

"Can you still move? If you can, go back!" Brother Zhui suddenly said.

"Ah?" Chu Qing was confused.

"Of the several mutual markets in Xinlun Prefecture, only the northern part was attacked, which shows that the northern part is the most convenient area for Voss to enter. So, if there is really iron ingot smuggling, the new iron mine in Jizhou should be the closest way for them to start."

"What is being smuggled must be iron ingots, not iron ore. Iron ore is not worth it to them. So, you go back to Jizhou and check the mining area. It will be much more convenient if you have regular contact with them."

"Besides, whether it's the Meng family in Jiangnan or the Meng family in Jizhou, the news of your arrival in Xinlunzhou will have the effect of alerting others. It's better to go back quickly before they know about it."

"What about yourself?" Chu Qing was concerned.

"I brought ten good men here, as well as the spies here, that's enough." Brother Zhuizi said, "It's your injury..."

"It doesn't matter. If you need help from my boys, you can find them. They are all very clever." Chu Qing felt that it would be a good idea for the boys at home to be trained by the Secret Investigation Department and be more thoughtful.

What's more, they don't need to rehearse even if they pretend to be a caravan.

"Okay!" Brother Zhuizi agreed, "I will find them if necessary."

The 500-man army sent by Chu Qing finally arrived. I heard that the boss had already finished the battle. I was very sorry. They didn't catch up!

As a result, he was scolded by the boys from Xinlunzhou: "Why are you so late? The boss is injured, you know?"

The five hundred boys were also depressed. They entered the city in batches, how could it be so fast? If they were not afraid of arousing the suspicion of the court, they would have gathered together and marched with arms, and they would have arrived a day and a half earlier!

Chu Qing left five hundred people behind and asked them to garrison at Baoqing Shengbeizhan until they subsided and then dispersed to various parts of Xinlun Prefecture. He also asked them to learn the business of that place no matter where they were.

When it's their turn to travel as a caravan, they will be stationed at the destination and the people from that place will be rotated to the next place.

Chu Qing said: "You all need to understand our family's business and be able to grasp it. If you are rotated to the south, you will have to become a fisherman. Your diving skills must be passed, and you must be able to catch fish and dry them with salt;"

"When you rotate to the north, you have to master farmland management. You have to know what to plant in what season and how much to harvest per acre."

"When it is the turn of the central government, we must be familiar with where high-end consumption is, what we already have, and what can be added!"

"When you all have learned it, go home, replace the five hundred people at home, and continue learning until our family members become all-round talents!"

The boys are all extremely excited. This is a colorful life. Not only can you eat meat by following the boss, but you can also see the world and broaden your horizons! The boss doesn’t hide anything!

It's not that Chu Qing doesn't hide her secrets. She doesn't need to hide them. She doesn't belong to this world, but she has to exist in this world.

Therefore, for her, money has become something external to her in a real sense. She must have it, and more is better, but she cannot take it away.

In this place where she could be involved in messy incidents at any time and face life-threatening danger at any time, she also needed someone to help her.

These veterans who were refugees can just help her, and she can also give them a platform to survive. In Chu Qing's view, everyone just hugs together to keep warm.

However, in the eyes of the veterans, they were refugees before and remained refugees after they retired from the army. They were feared and discriminated against by society.

Even if you are not a refugee, after you retire from the army, you will just go home and farm. It is a life that you can see the end of.

But here in Chuqing, Chuqing gave them a base for survival and a platform for development, so that they can live a fulfilling life every day. Chuqing also sincerely protects them.

Regardless of emotions or interests, Chu Qing knew this was a place they didn't want to leave and a place they wanted to maintain together.

Therefore, they will carefully select new people, and will consciously protect them after joining. It is not that no one has selfishness, but all selfishness is within the controllable range.

Whenever someone wants to do something, everyone's overall interests will be threatened, so everyone cooperates with each other and unites together, so that everyone can develop in the long term.

Unknowingly, this group has a self-purification function, which will automatically eliminate factors that are not conducive to the whole. As a result, Chu Qing's team is getting stronger and stronger, but there is no disharmony.

Therefore, some successes cannot be copied.

Chu Qing never thought about this. She just simply wanted to live and live a better life. For Xiaobao who chose her as her mother, Chu Qing regarded him as compensation from God to compensate for the entire world she had lost.

So she will do her best to make Xiaobao's life better and better.
