Chapter 108: Something Isn't Right
The master followed behind the tall General Wang, and said with a frown.
"The general laughed, my family has been working hard for the people all these years, and my body is really bad, so I went out to visit the famous doctor this time."
"Actually, adults also have a hard time!"
"Really? However, I think that the construction of your county government is extremely luxurious, and it is better than the mansions of all the adults in the capital. ”
"I heard that your Qingchuan City was not very rich before, so where did the money he used to build the government come from?"
General Wang had broad shoulders and long legs, and walked very fast, and when he strode into the hall and sat down, the master was already running with sweat on his head, and he hurriedly wiped his sleeve.
Bent down in front of General Wang and began to talk nonsense.
But General Wang didn't want to listen to it at all, this master was talking nonsense here, wasting his time, and the two people beside him looked at him quietly and silently.
Until the master was scrutinized by this General Wang, he was so frightened that his body trembled like chaff.
General Wang let out a sneer disdainfully, "General Ben has always paid attention to his own rules and regulations. ”
"Since your county magistrate is not here, then General Ben will take a look by the way today, how much money has been spent on the construction of his mansion, and you are not allowed to follow behind!"
After speaking, he waved his hand to the back.
One of the soldiers who followed General Wang immediately took two steps forward, and in front of the two family members next to him, he struck the back of the master's neck with a knife without hesitation.
Originally, the master was a literati, and he was not young, and he was powerless, where could he withstand the attack of a military general who walked on the battlefield all year round.
was hit so hard that his body went limp, and he slowly fell to the ground.
General Wang was shocked when he saw the two subordinates who came with the master, so he snorted coldly and went to the county order's study to take a turn.
Turned the contents upside down.
Fortunately, over the years, in addition to going to war, he has also learned something from his father.
After such an inspection, there were some unexpected discoveries.
There was no delay at this time, and before the sky was even dawn, he rushed to Qiu Yan's side again.
Although Qiu Yan's eyelids were already sleepy at this moment, he was still holding his hands hard.
She was really sleepy, so she asked the maid to bring her a basin of cold water, and from time to time she took cold water to compress it.
Hearing the sound of serious footsteps, Qiu Yan opened his eyes in an instant and rushed to the door with an expectant expression.
General Wang looked at her sleepy eyelids fighting, and there was some indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
He could only clear his throat and take the initiative to wave his hand at Qiu Yan.
"Mrs. Lu sit down first, I did find something just now, and I'll talk to you."
Thinking of what he had just discovered, General Wang also felt palpitations.
After all, the emperor is far away, if it weren't for the fact that Qiu Yan arranged people this time, they took great pains to send the news to the capital.
They wouldn't even have imagined that someone would have the audacity to deceive their superiors and subordinates.
However, when he returned, the words of the two soldiers beside him also reminded him.
According to the news that Taishou got and the things he just found in the study of the county order, there is a good chance that this county order is a prince who was placed outside and closed before collusion, that is, the brother of the current emperor.
didn't hide it from Qiu Yan at this time, and told her all the causes and consequences of the matter.
clenched his fist fiercely, "In addition to the fact that the prince has such courage and power, there is a more important reason. ”
"It can't be because he once fought with His Majesty for something, so even if he was kicked out of the capital, he was still extremely restless, right? I once heard one of the elders in my family mention it. Qiu Yan replied calmly.
What she thought of was Shen Fengxing's master.
Although he has been wandering outside for a long time, he still knows a lot about some movements in the capital.
Thinking so, I subconsciously said it.
General Wang glanced at Qiu Yan in surprise, but instead of denying it, he nodded.
"That's true, but I didn't expect this matter to involve the head of the Lu family."
"General Wang, I don't care what this prince wants to do, and I don't care how he competed with His Majesty for the throne before."
"The only thing I'm worried about right now is what he's trying to do!"
"Otherwise, he can't help a county magistrate for no reason, right? You also know that this Qingchuan City is so far away from the capital, why does he have to go to great lengths to help a county order? ”
Taishou's words also reminded Qiu Yan.
Since the county magistrate can sit in this position for so long, and can collect so many people's money, he must already be a habitual offender, and the person who keeps him in the back is definitely the prince.
But why would he do it?
Although they now bear the name of imperial merchants, they have always been people who do business in a proper manner.
Why did the county magistrate suddenly arrange someone to arrest Lu Chiye? She was really puzzled.
After General Wang pushed back the people on the left and right, he thought for a moment, sat a little closer to Qiu Yan, and said in an extremely low voice.
"According to my guess, the reason why the prince arranged for someone to arrest the Lu family master is probably because he wants to take advantage of your family's business."
"Presumably Mrs. Lu also knows that your family's express delivery industry is developing too fast now, and it has already caused others to blush."
General Wang had never seen it, and the express delivery industry had never imagined that there would be such a new thing.
But Qiu Yan's series of preparations still surprised him in the end.
Although many people in the outside world have seen the sweetness brought by express delivery, they are also imitating them in the back.
But no matter how you draw a scoop with a gourd, you can't imitate the essence.
Indeed, many businesses in the outside world have begun to open up the transportation of goods, or a new industry to help people transport things.
However, because its own business is not so widespread, there are only fixed transportation routes, so even if a new transportation route is opened, the places involved are very small.
Unlike Qiuyan, because they have their own express delivery points, plus the requirements for distribution personnel are extremely strict, and there are carefully improved dart cars.
The combination of these factors snowballs in a success that no one else can replicate.
Qiu Yan listened to General Wang's eloquent words, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said very unhappily.
"Just because they envy my family's business is booming, do you want to start with my husband? This is a bit too bullying! ”
"Mrs. Lu, what you think is still too simple." General Wang glanced at Qiu Yan and said with a headache.
"The situation in this capital is complicated, and it is far from being as simple as you think."
"No matter what kind of business, as long as you are dominant, you will definitely be targeted by the people above."
"It's just that this time Your Majesty attaches great importance to your family's express delivery business, isn't this just giving others a chance to take advantage of?"
General Wang didn't want Qiu Yan to be a fool, so he was kept in the dark, and after telling her all the things he suspected, he took the initiative to mention it.
"Mrs. Lu, you also helped build Qiguang Mansion before, and it's not a secret, the imperial court allocated funds at that time, and it was also used by your family's courier."
"So, in fact, you have already caused the eyes of countless people."
Qiu Yan listened to General Wang's introduction to her, and now she can actually be sure that the prince is really coming towards Lu Chiye, and she can't help but be even more worried.
He looked at General Wang with some apprehension, "Then I beg the general to give me the truth, what should we do now?" ”
"My husband has been in prison for a while, and although he has not been abused now, he is still living a miserable life."
"Can't you really find a way to get him out?"
"It's not impossible, just now, I'm going to talk to you about the Lu family master."
The reason why General Wang was able to sit in such a position at such a young age and become a general with grade and was canonized by the emperor himself is naturally not a reckless man who only knows how to fight.
Over the years, I have indeed learned a lot.
When I came here just now, I slowly sorted out those things in my mind, and now I have my own opinions.
Looking at Qiu Yan's appearance, you can know that she is also a woman with a tough heart and will not be frightened by these things.
He cleared his throat and began to talk to her.
"I have asked people to inquire just now, and I heard that although the head of the Lu family is now locked in a cell, he is still intact."
"According to what I know about that prince, he should be planning to take the Lu family master away secretly."
"But that's why it's the perfect time for us to lure the snakes out of their holes and catch them all."
"Let me think about it." Qiu Yan frowned, reached out and tapped lightly on his temple.
General Wang did explain everything to her very clearly, and it stands to reason that she should not have any doubts.
But thinking about it before, when she went to visit Lu Chiye, the look of the person who was too guarded showed a completely indifferent look, and a golden light suddenly flashed in her mind.
He immediately stood up, and after rushing out of the door, he grabbed a person arranged by Taishou who was guarding the door by the arm, and looked at him with a serious face.
"You tell me the truth, when you took me to visit your husband before, in fact, did you have several opportunities to rescue my husband secretly, but you didn't do that?"
"Let me think about it carefully, you have that strength, but you are unwilling to rescue my husband, is it just to use him as bait, and then catch the big fish behind it?"
The people who were too guarded didn't expect that Qiu Yan's reaction would be so timely, and she was caught off guard and asked several questions in a row.
