Chapter 233 being monitored (2)
In the next few days, boys from all over the place continued to send messages that people from the Secret Investigation Department were stationed there. The reasons were all the same: to strictly investigate the whereabouts of Princess Donglun and to protect the industry of the Secret Investigation Department.
Chu Yuan was a little anxious and asked Chu Qing: "What does this surname Wu mean? Why is our place under surveillance? He also said that he will not be allowed to leave his residence in the near future."
Chu Qing said: "What's the point? Our stall is so big that we can rob it."
Chu Yuan: "Our family has a Secret Investigation Department. Does his superior know that he does this?"
Chu Qing was helpless about this: "They have good reasons. To find out the whereabouts of the princess, we need to visit all relevant places. Our family has shops all over Xinlunzhou. They said they understand the situation, so we can't help but let them go."
Chu Yuan: "They have all been investigated in our shop. Who are they investigating? Doesn't this mean that we are harboring the princess?"
"It's useless to say that. Where are my guards?" Chu Qing asked Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan: "They are all at the racecourse. The racecourse you bought for Lao Yu and Lao Zhao is next to the military racecourse in Xinlun Prefecture. It is a big place. They always put the horses at Lao Yu's place. Our escort team happens to be there.
Over there, I want to develop a relationship with the horse, so I might as well help watch it for a while."
Chu Qing: "Let them separate. They will go wherever Wu Jichang's people go. Watch for me!"
Chu Yuan: "Then let Zhuo Yao send out some of Xiaobao's guards. You two only have twenty guards each. If you separate, there won't be many people."
Chu Qing: "Don't touch Xiaobao's guards. That You Zhenghang is also at our house. Both children must be protected. Their tasks are not easy."
Chu Yuan: "It's okay if you don't have guards here."
Chu Qing: "I am the safest, Wu Jichang is my guard."
Chu Yuan: "The message from the salt field hasn't come back yet."
Chu Qing: "They probably haven't arrived yet. It's far over there. But I guess they won't go there."
Chu Yuan: "Why don't you go? The salt farm takes up the most space in our house."
Chu Qing: "The salt over there hasn't been sold to Daxuan yet. They shouldn't be interested."
Who says there is no thought?
At this time, Wu Jichang's aide Feng Renke was consulting him on the matter: "Sir, there is a salt farm in Chuqing in the south of Linyang County, Xinlun Prefecture. I heard that a lot of salt was stored there, and it is refined salt that was praised by the emperor."
Wu Jichang nodded: "I know! But don't move it now."
Feng Renke: "Why? Sir! Since we want to control Chu Qing's industry this time, the salt farm is indispensable. If you replace the salt guide for other aristocratic families and buy your own fine salt, you will make a huge profit!"
"Well," Wu Jichang nodded, but then waved his hand: "Did you know that Chu Qing has an unlimited amount of salt in his hands? Daxuan is the only one who has this!"
Feng Renke: "I know that because this is the only one, we cannot let her produce her own salt and sell it. You must keep the salt farm in your hands."
Wu Jichang: "Hehehehe, Old Feng, do you know a woman's heart?"
Feng Renke was confused. He was talking about the salt farm, why did he switch to women?
Wu Jichang turned his finger and continued: "Woman, once you take possession of her body, you take possession of everything about her. I will definitely take the salt field, and the salt source must be mine!"
Feng Renke was a little anxious: "My lord, no! Since the salt seal was issued by the emperor himself, it cannot be transferred! My lord, you can't force it!"
Wu Jichang smiled confidently: "How can I be so forceful? I am very gentle towards women!"
Feng Renke: "Your Majesty is saying...but don't forget, she has a plaque of "Jing Biao Jie Filial Piety" given by the emperor!"
Wu Jichang's smile was a little stiff, so stiff that his voice could only be squeezed out from between his teeth: "'Jingbiao Jiexiao' is good. I originally wanted to give her a comfortable life for the rest of her life, but now it's just right. Not only does she not have to treat her
Be responsible and make her obediently give everything!"
…………
Xiaobao also knew that his various businesses were gradually being monitored by people sent by Wu Jichang. Because his food street business was forced to stop, he had to provide food for those people.
After feeding the last few pieces of fresh mutton to "Little Gangan" and "Lai'a", Xiaobao patted "Lai'a"'s wings: "'Lai'a', come find your father!"
Because the two golden eagle eggs were hatched in Xiaobao's arms, and Gan Lai was trained to fly, Gan Lai firmly gave the title of "Ama" to Xiaobao and became his "Abba".
"Come on" flew out and quickly brought back Gan Lai's father.
Xiaobao handed Gan Lai a stack of banknotes and said: "Gan Lai, three things, the first one: take 'Lai'a' and rush to the brothers of the sixth team and ask them to move the salt in the village.
;
The second thing: Let some brothers come back. We need manpower here at home: the autumn harvest is coming soon. If my mother is under house arrest and cannot go out, you have to lead a team to collect the cotton and send it to the state government. Don't pull it.
return.
The third thing: I will ask 'Xiao Gangan' to send you a message at any time. If you have any situation, just ask 'Come' to send a message to me."
Gan Lai: "Okay! I'll leave right away!"
Xiaobao looked at Gan Lai's men's clothes and said, "Just keep wearing men's clothes and don't let them recognize you as a woman."
Gan Lai nodded and left at night with "Little Gan Gan".
The next day, Xiaobao was reading a book when Feng Renke knocked on the door and came in.
"Young Master Chu is really hardworking. He can sit still and study at such a young age. It's really admirable!" Feng Renke praised with a smile.
"Are you...are you Feng Dada next to Wuhan University?" Xiaobao stood up respectfully and saluted as a junior.
"Oh no, I don't dare take it! I, Feng Renke, one of Master Wu's staff, Tuo Da, just call me Master Feng." Feng Renke replied very respectfully.
This kind of staff has no official position and is a master hired by Wu Jichang privately. If Xiaobao calls him and Wu Jichang "big brother" together, he would not dare to respond. Wouldn't that mean he is on an equal footing with Wu Jichang?
"Master Feng, do you have anything to do with Xiaobao?" Xiaobao was still very polite and poured the tea that was no longer warm with his own hands.
Feng Renke: "Well, I'm here to ask about the assassination of the young master. I also ask the young master to explain in detail. The more detailed the better. Not only do we want to avenge the children of our Secret Detective Division, but also if we capture Princess Donglun,
This is still a great achievement of the young master."
Throughout the whole day, Feng Renke spent time with Xiaobao even during meals, asking the same questions over and over again in different ways.
Zhuo Yao and the escort were not much better. Wu Jichang's men separated the people who were with Xiaobao on the day of his assassination and "interrogated" them one by one.
Zhuo Yao couldn't hold back his violent temper: "What do you mean? How many times have I told you this nonsense and you still ask? Are you here to inquire about the case, or do you suspect that we are the ones who committed the crime?!"
The attitude of Wu Jichang's subordinates was not as good as that of Feng Renke: "Hey! None of your masters dare to talk to us like this, you are nothing but you dare to shout!"
Zhuo Yao slapped the table: "Fart! Who the hell do you think you are?"
I suspect that you and Princess Donglun are in the same group!
Otherwise, why didn’t you mention those masked men in every question, didn’t you go find those children who fell into the water, and specifically interrogate us about what we did and where we went?”
Except for Bai Hua and Huang Zhong, almost everyone in the Chu house was "questioned" in this way. Nothing could be done in the house. The autumn harvest was about to happen, but everyone was stuck at home and unable to get out.
They did not ask Bai Hua because he had been suspended. This was the biggest arrangement Wu Jichang could make, and it could not be more excessive because he needed to worry about the Nanzhen governor.
As for Huang Zhong, there is nothing to worry about, and there is no need to offend an old official of the third rank.
After dinner, Huang Rong and the others also came over to talk to Chu Qing about what they had been asked about. Even boiling water was delayed.
