The officers and soldiers originally only wanted to arrest Lin Qinghua for colluding with officials. Unexpectedly, after a search, they found many Di tribe items in his bedroom, as well as several letters with the Di tribe.
Carpets, felts, ornaments and the like are not really important things, but those letters mentioned the defense situation of various guard posts in Hecheng a year ago.
The Wu Dynasty always had constant trade with the Di tribe.
Even during last year's military turmoil, the Dilu cavalry made the court uneasy and made the old emperor angry. There were also merchants running back and forth at the border.
However, the defense at each pass is very strict. Not only do merchants need customs clearance documents issued by the local government to prove their innocence, but people and goods must also be carefully inspected and huge tariffs must be paid.
Now a businessman of the Lin family not only has documents for traveling to and from the border, but also privately communicates with the Di people. This is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy.
Song Liyun gritted her teeth after hearing this.
It is said that most people who drown are good at water, and even if they sail thousands of miles, their boat will capsize in a ditch.
Lin Qingyuan was too smart. He actually escaped from the Lin Mansion and then returned easily, just to see the embarrassment of Lin Qinghua mother and son up close, and ended up falling into a mud pit.
What kind of bad taste is this!
At least Song Liyun didn't like to see Song Laoer picking up cow dung, and he didn't care whether the missing little Gu and Song Xiaobao were dead or alive, or where they were begging for food.
Now everyone in the Lin family is in chains and must be escorted to Hecheng.
It would be easy for Lin Qingyuan to escape, but now that he is taken away by Lao Qian and others, he will become a fugitive for life and cannot be exposed to the world.
For a young man who even had to climb over the wall to wander around in prison, it would be even more uncomfortable than letting him die if he could no longer freely enter restaurants and flower markets.
Fortunately, before going to the capital, officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate need to go to Hecheng to report the case to the Yunzhou Garrison Office, which integrates military and political affairs.
Lin Qingyuan knew that the current guard Zhao Tinglei was the brother of the young master of the Wuda tribe, so he was so bold as to return to the Lin Mansion and shamelessly asked Song Liyun to rescue him.
Song Liyun really wanted to pinch his embroidered head and shake it.
Now that Zhao Tingduo is making slaves in the grassland, his brother, who is a guard, must be there to support him. Who should he go to when he goes to the guard house?
Besides, I haven't met the other members of the Zhao family yet. How can I just come to your door and say something like this: "I am your unmarried sister-in-law, and now I want to save a man."
When the Zhao family heard these words, who did he become?
However, she couldn't leave Lin Qingyuan alone.
This bitch probably thought of the consequences a long time ago, so he entrusted Ruzhu Pavilion to his care.
She felt that this was another kind of temptation from Lin Qingyuan.
After thinking for a long time, Song Liyun punched the table with regret.
That’s it!
It was hard for me to catch such a living treasure, so I still had to work hard to see if I could fish it out.
In Pingyang Mansion, Song Liyun had no one, but Lin Qingyuan did.
Moreover, Lin Qingyuan left old money and the others to run errands for Song Liyun, plus the ring as a token. It was more convenient to have money and people than in Ruijin Town.
Lao Qian arranged for people to send out the news quickly. One team went to Ruijin Town to send a message to Han Ming, explaining Song Liyun's whereabouts.
If Song Zhenping and Song Dekui go home, they will wait at home obediently.
If Abu also comes back, go to Hecheng to find her.
The other branch went directly to Xia Shiguan, to the ceremony site where the Wuda tribe handed back the slaves, and asked the young master Zhao Tingduo to find a way to help Hecheng.
They spent the whole day in the inn, and Lao Qian and others brought news about the Lin family to him like a stream of water.
On this day, Lin's house was ransacked and all the shops were put on clearance sale.
The Lin Mansion was sealed for less than ten days. The Qi family did not come forward, and their apparent property was quickly divided up by officials from the government and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Song Liyun was amazed: "If criminal cases can be handled so quickly, Pingyang Mansion will become the safest place in the world."
Lao Qian narrowed his eyes and said: "Young madam, you don't know. These properties are not something that local officials can swallow. The fact that the Qi family didn't come forward doesn't mean they don't care. In fact, they also have a share in it!"
Song Liyun was surprised and said: "The Qi family...even if they don't help, how can they still take money from the in-laws like this?"
Lao Qian told the truth: "My aunt was just a concubine in the Lin family, and she was also a concubine in the Qi family.
The Xiaolin family is nothing to the imperial merchants.
Moreover, because of the news spread by my aunt, the young master has obtained many good things in recent years, and has also stolen many customers from the Qi family.
The Qi family had suffered a lot of losses. They had long suspected a culprit, and my aunt's room had been searched several times.
Our aunt is as smart as the young master, but she is restricted by her status as a woman and cannot go out in public to do business..."
When Lao Qian said this, he stopped immediately.
The woman in front of him was in public all day long and dared to venture into the grassland. He almost forgot that she was a woman.
Song Liyun was fascinated by what he heard.
She has met Sister Lin, who looks weak but is refreshing. Lin Qingyuan's Ruzhu Pavilion's business is booming because of her stealing maps and various sales information.
But why didn't Lao Qian say anything? She urged: "Old Qian, keep talking. Why didn't you say anything?"
Only Sister Lin could tell these secrets, and the Wan family had no way of knowing.
Seeing that she had no reaction, Lao Qian continued: "After several unannounced visits to the Qi family, we didn't find the mole, but we did find a lot of people who were cheating on others. It was inevitable to replace them with a new group of obedient merchants.
The Lin family suddenly got into trouble, and the young master suspected that the Qi family was behind it, hoping to get rid of the Lin family as a drag.
Fortunately, the young master took my aunt back in advance. If she had still stayed in Hecheng, she might have died of illness in the backyard."
Song Liyun was dumbfounded. It seemed that the sources of Lin Qinghua's letters were worthy of investigation. The Qi family could really do it!
She felt that she already understood human nature, but when she looked at these century-old businesses, she felt how terrible people's hearts were.
so far so good!
Wanjia is still in the initial stage of accumulating financial and human resources, so it cannot and dare not do this kind of thing.
And now the profits from my side are huge, enough to make a lot of money for several companies, so there is no need to switch sides for profit.
Two days later, everyone in the Lin Mansion was escorted out of their cells.
In March, when the spring was cold, the two young masters of the Lin family and their family members got into an open carriage and set off for Hecheng.
With the help of old money, Lin Qingyuan contracted a "bad disease" and had a high fever, so he arranged a car with a cover alone.
In the car, Lin Qingyuan was lying on his back in the straw, and said with an unhappy expression: "Song Liyun, at least you can throw in two cashmere blankets. I am a patient now and cannot lie down like this."
Outside the car curtain, Song Liyun was riding a horse and walking beside him. Looking at the Lin family who were miserable in the cold wind in front of him, he said: "This is the trouble you brought upon yourself. Don't forget that you are a suspected collaborator. If you are even sitting in this car,
If not, how can I go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
Lin Qingyuan was so frightened that he sat up and stared at Song Liyun from the small window: "I am collaborating with the enemy, and I am also collaborating with you, young lady. Believe it or not, I will bite Zhao Tingduo out as soon as he comes to court, and let's see how Zhao Shoubei will interrogate him!"
Song Liyun glanced at him sideways and said coldly: "If you can't control your mouth, I will have your mouth sewn shut so you can never open it!"
After saying that, he stopped talking to Lin Qingyuan and drove forward, crossing the cart.
Lin Qingyuan saw that she was angry and shouted hurriedly: "Mrs. Song, I was just joking, you can't ignore me!"
Lao Qian rode over and said, "Don't worry, young master, the young lady is joking with you too.
The young lady had already sent Fang Zheng beside her to Hecheng.
My subordinates have already asked someone to find out, and Fang Zheng used to be from Lei Ziying!"
Lin Qingyuan blinked, smiled, and stopped panicking. He lay back on the haystack and hummed a ditty: I am a female Jiao'e...
