Chapter 163: Prepare the Layout

"But we did encounter an ambush before, and even almost lost our wife and soldiers, which is also true!" Lu Chiye frowned.

Although he also knew that Qiu Yan trusted Ji Feifan, and during this time, Ji Zhai had been acting very well in front of them, but he didn't completely feel that Ji Feifan didn't know anything about it.

So, after discussing it with Qiu Yan, in the end, he could only decide to wait for his subordinates to stare at Ji Mansion carefully.

Make a decision after doing the relevant research.

Qiu Yan also knew that this was already the best way for now, so she could only nod her head and agree.

However, contrary to Qiu Yan's expectations, the importance of Ji Zhai to Ji Feifan was much higher than she imagined.

On the night of his return, Ji Feifan immediately couldn't wait for someone to send a letter to Ji Zhai, saying that he was going to see him.

So the next day, Ji Zhai personally received the news and rushed over.

As soon as they entered the door, it was still the same old rules, and after giving Qiu Yan and them the things they had occasionally mentioned recently, saying that they were interested, they knocked on the side and asked.

"The head of the family, madam, I heard that the batch of goods that the two of you had been particularly interested in before have been transported back by my sister and a few brothers, so everyone must be very tired, right?"

"These things, if the head of the family and his wife don't dislike them, they can also be shared with my sister and those brothers, they are all more distinctive gadgets, but they are not worth a few dollars, just a little bit of my heart."

However, Lu Chiye looked at the honest and honest Ji Zhai, but he was suspicious of him at the first time.

Because he knew very well in his heart, the goods they asked Ji Feifan to take people out to be responsible for transporting were already quite hidden.

Moreover, it was through the relationship of the autumn county order that he used his private power to get things back from other county orders.

So, they didn't even think about being high-profile.

When I came back all the way, I still took the waterway, just to avoid those suspicious people, etc.

So, how did Ji Zhai, who is usually not very close to them, learn the news for the first time?

In his heart, he was already quite suspicious of Ji Zhai, but he still made a calm and breezy appearance on his face, and after taking the initiative to beckon him to sit down, he replied lightly.

"Since it is a kindness from Ji Gongzi, then I will accept it, and I will thank Gongzi on their behalf first."

"Master, you are too polite, just call my name." Ji Zhai lowered his head a little humbly, and it really made people not notice even the slightest bit of something wrong.

But the more he was like this, the more Lu Chiye couldn't rest assured.

After chatting with him for a few words, he began to tentatively ask Ji Zhai where he received the news so quickly that he would ask the two of them about the goods.

No matter how much Ji Zhai says, his brain is not stupid, and he has been admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and he is still quite experienced in some interpersonal contacts.

It's just that he was hit hard before, so he buried himself in the king's shell and didn't want to get out.

After being asked a few words by Lu Chiye, it really quickly aroused his vigilance.

The smile on the corner of his mouth narrowed slightly, and after a few perfunctory words, he took the initiative to stand up.

"The head of the house, I suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper told me that there are still some things in the shop, and there is something in the family of a big brother today, so I have to go to him for a long time, the head of the house, can I go first now?"

"Of course you can, it's still the most important thing in the shop, you can do it well, I won't treat you badly." Lu Chiye's face was cold.

Ji Zhai looked at him with a grateful face, and after quickly saying a few good words, he left quickly.

Looking at his flustered back, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed in Lu Chiye's eyes.

In the evening, after finishing the matter at hand, Ji Zhai still went to talk to Ji Feifan for a while and chatted.

It wasn't until he saw that he had left Lu Mansion with a torch that Qiu Yan and Lu Chiye discussed it, and probably knew what the two of them were suspicious of Ji Zhai, so they went to find Ji Feifan in person again.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked at her with a blank face.

"You tell me the truth, who have you met after I told you about that shipment? 1510 told me that no one should be missed! ”

Ji Feifan was almost frightened by Qiu Yan's face at this moment, took a few deep breaths, and after thinking about it seriously, he suddenly slapped his head and said.

"I went to see my brother, and then there were a few little maids at home who had a good relationship with me......"

After telling everyone about it, Ji Feifan asked Qiu Yan with some apprehension.

"What's the matter, ma'am, is something wrong?"

"What did you tell them when you saw them? The old rules, to be honest with me, no detail can be missed! ”

Under Qiu Yan's detailed questioning, Ji Feifan repeated everything he remembered now and what those people said.

Qiu Yan listened, and her face became more and more ugly.

Sure enough, the final crux of this matter still appeared on Ji Feifan!

Before she left, although she didn't tell Ji Zhai in detail, she still mentioned the relevant information about those goods.

No wonder, she said that Ji Zhai looked weird, it turned out that this matter really had something to do with him!

After Qiu Yan's repeated inquiries, no matter how confused Ji Feifan's brain was, he could detect it at this time, and something should have happened.

Hurriedly glanced at Qiu Yan and asked worriedly.

"Ma'am, am I doing something wrong? Or is there something wrong with any of the people I met? Don't scare me, tell me, okay? ”

"Since you asked, it's not like I can't tell you."

Qiu Yan looked at Ji Feifan seriously, without even any expression on his face, and said extremely seriously.

"I have to tell you the truth, the previous shipment was extremely hidden, and theoretically speaking, it should not be known to anyone."

"But I just got the news from my father that the government has been eyeing the shipment and has found it in our heads."

"This matter is very suspicious, so I discussed it with my husband and decided to investigate all the suspicious people around me."

After Qiu Yan said some specious words, Ji Feifan was really shocked, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled a little.

After a long while, he gently bit his lower lip and reluctantly spoke.

"Madame, you ...... Are you suspicious of my brother? ”

"Yes, I have to tell you the truth, I'm suspicious of him."

"In addition to him, even all the people who have come into contact with you must be properly examined and interrogated by us, and we are also thinking about the entire Lu family, I hope you can understand."

Ji Feifan listened, and his heart became cold inch by inch.

But Madame, how much effort they have worked so hard to get to such a point over the past so long, she also knows in her heart.

Such an important cargo is in trouble, and it is inevitable that Madame and they want to find out about this matter.

After a while, he finally nodded slowly.

"Madam, I know, but on my brother's side, I really can't understand why he did this."

After speaking, he lowered his head in some pain.

In the end, she has been with her for a long time, and she has always behaved very well before, and Qiu Yan can't bear to be scared like this.

After gently patting her on the shoulder, he took the initiative to say.

"Don't be too scared, it's not necessarily your brother's doing."

"To be honest, I've always trusted you so much, and I never thought you'd betray me."

"Of course, Madame and the head of the family are very kind to me, if it weren't for the importance of the two of you, I'm afraid that I'm still a little maid who doesn't even deserve to be remembered by people, how can I be qualified to do such a day?"

"Betraying something like a pig and a dog, I would never do it!"

After speaking, Ji Feifan glanced at Qiu Yan gratefully.

She wasn't the kind of person who didn't know how much she had learned since she came out with Madame.

Therefore, when they heard Qiu Yan say that they wanted to list her brother as the key object of suspicion and carefully inspect it, although they were entangled in their hearts, they did not have any complaints about Qiu Yan because of this matter.

"It's best if you can think like that."

"But I have to ask you to promise me one thing, from today onwards, all the things I mentioned to you just now, including the specific details of the investigation that we did not hide from you later, you must not say even a word to your brother."

"Do you understand?" Qiu Yan continued to advise.

Ji Feifan's hands clenched into fists, making a creaking sound.

Holding back tears, after taking a few deep breaths, he said vigorously.

"Madam, I remember it all, I will never tell my brother about this again!"

"Well, I know, you've helped us a lot by my side, but you also know that we have a lot of workers who need to eat. , this matter has to be properly investigated, understand? ”

Ji Feifan nodded, and after talking to Qiu Yan for a while, he watched her leave.

A few thoughts flashed through my mind, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

However, this batch of goods was finally successfully transported back, at least Lu Chiye also breathed a long sigh of relief.

The man in black didn't solve it for a day, so he couldn't rest assured for a day.

Therefore, while Qiu Yan was investigating related matters, he made an appointment with the man in black to meet by the way.

After this incident, both sides have become more cautious.

Taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, when there was no one in the city, Lu Chiye specially arranged for a carriage to load this batch of goods, carefully sent them out of the city all the way, and then handed them over to the man in black.

But it was a great coincidence that General Wang also came back at this time.
