Chapter 750 Everyone has selfish desires, and I am no exception

You know better than anyone how many injustices you have committed.

There are many ways to repay debt.

Compared with Wei Cheng and Yan Jun who paid with their lives, Fan Shicheng felt from the bottom of his heart that he was still lucky.

Money is a small matter, losing life is a big matter.

Sang Zhixia holds multiple trump cards in his hands, as well as his fatal weakness, and stands at the highest point where he can decide whether to kill or not.

Whenever Sang Zhixia wants to strike, it all depends on her thoughts.

If you don’t want to follow Weicheng’s old path, you must be obedient and be a good money-giving boy.

Fan Shicheng happened to have the most silver.

Fan Shicheng felt relieved and prepared to spend money lavishly.

Sang Zhixia was silent for a moment, then said to Lin Yun, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

Lin Yun had been ambushed several times before, and all signs indicated that the killer had a close relationship with Fan Shicheng.

But now…

Lin Yun didn't expect Sang Zhixia to mind this. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Why does the boss care about this?"

Sang Zhixia pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lin Yun teased, "Don't you think that in a battle between two sides, only our own people will suffer?"

At first, they suffered many threats and difficulties, both overt and covert, and even nearly lost their lives at one point.

Perhaps the fact that Sanyou Trading Company made a name for itself in Jiangnan with its bare hands was not due to the mercy shown by its opponents.

If they hadn't suffered so many losses that they no longer dared to look down on others, they wouldn't have reached this point.

Sang Zhixia was aware of what Lin Yun had said, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but say, "During this special period, we have to be patient for now."

"Once we get through this hurdle, I'll have all the explanations I need."

Sang Zhixia pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and said, "Nanyun is in a bad state, and I'm afraid other places are not in a good state either."

"First, send a message to your young master, telling him about Nan Yun's current situation and asking him to prepare early. Also..."

"I remember Mr. Qi gave me some medicine before I came here?"

Hua Shan didn't understand why Sang Zhixia suddenly asked this, and after a pause, she said, "Yes, I prepared a lot."

"It's just that the quantity is limited. They are all for you and the two young masters to use. I'm afraid that taking them out would be a drop in the bucket and would not be of much use."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Sang Zhixia rubbed his brow and said, "Didn't I give you a bottle of Qianlizui?"

"I heard from Yanran that taking Thousand Mile Drunk can make a person unconscious and sleepy for ten days or so, so it's not very harmful."

A flash of realization flashed through Huashan's mind, and he involuntarily lowered his voice and said, "Boss, do you mean to use Qianlizui?"

Sang Zhixia nodded and said, "Go back and make a bowl of soup yourself, add Qianlizui to it, and cook a few dishes. Watch Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou finish their meal, and tell them to come to the ferry to help me after dinner."

Chen Jingan is also in Nanyun.

But Chen Jing'an knows the importance of things and can be of great help at critical moments.

These two guys are different.

According to Sang Zhixia's understanding of them, no one would be willing to leave if they knew the difficulties Nan Yun might face next.

But it's too dangerous.

Sang Zhixia closed her eyes and said, "Everyone has selfish desires, and I am no exception."

If Nanyun really becomes a hell full of difficulties and dangers, then the only thing she can do is to send the little guy away as much as possible before the unpredictable huge risk comes.

Go to a place away from danger.

Go to a place that is absolutely safe.

Hua Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, if the two young masters knew about this, I'm afraid they would make a scene."

"Let them make all the noise they want, but they must leave without any delay."

When Sang Zhixia opened her eyelids again, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said without a doubt: "I will feel at ease only when they are safe."

"Go ahead and do it."

Huashan reluctantly agreed and left the restaurant in the rain.

Sang Zhixia turned her head to look at the window that was leaking water due to the constant impact of wind and rain. She suppressed the uncontrollable chill in her heart and exhaled slowly.

I just hope that my worries at this moment are unnecessary, otherwise...

Sang Zhixia didn't have time to think about it, she stood up and said, "Let's go to the Water Transport Department."

Clearing out the pirates is indeed Qian An’s most urgent task at the moment.

However, as Lord Qian of the Water Transport Bureau, who is responsible for protecting the stability of the area, it is his unshirkable responsibility to guard the ferry crossing from being washed away and to prevent the flood from entering Nanyun.

In order to gather the most manpower in the shortest time, government officials are indispensable.

Sang Zhixia had just met Qian An in the morning and thought she could find him directly if she went there now.

Who knew that after arriving at the Water Transport Department and hearing the report from the legal advisor, Sang Zhixia was so angry that she sneered, "You mean, Lord Qian was so anxious about the water bandits that he led his men out of the city to their hideout two hours ago?"

Usually, pirates hide in large and small boats on the water. It is said that there is a stronghold built by the water in a remote area close to a wasteland.

It has been windy and rainy recently. In such a harsh environment, hiding places on the water are no longer reliable. It is likely that people will have to sneak ashore to avoid the wind and rain.

It is said that the success rate of the pirates would increase a lot if they came ashore and took action, so it is not surprising that Qian An chose to take action at this time.

But when he heard that Qian An would not return to Nanyun for more than a month after chasing the bandits, Sang Zhixia's face turned completely cold.

"More than a month?"

"How could it take so long to deal with a mere gang of pirates?"

The legal advisor who was left behind by Qian An was met with Sang Zhixia's cold face. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly said with a smile, "You don't know, this pirate is always fierce. He has escaped from Nanyun and who knows what evil he will do elsewhere."

"Your Excellency's actions are also for the sake of the people's peace and stability. Eradicating the root of the problem in one fell swoop is the only way to ensure eternal peace."

The lawyer spoke sincerely, and the mockery in Sang Zhixia's eyes grew heavier.

"If that's the case, then the Water Transport Bureau is now empty?"

The master's face was full of helplessness: "You have a keen eye."

"In order to completely eliminate the water bandits and maintain peace in the area, the Lord has decided to lead the entire Water Transport Department in a desperate fight against the bandits. Now there really is no one left to move."

The words sound better than the songs, and at first glance it seems to be true.

Sang Zhixia curled her lips and smiled silently: "Master Qian really has good intentions, I am ignorant."

The master wanted to see him off, but Sang Zhixia just got up and left.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Gui Sheng sent someone to deliver news, which once again confirmed Sang Zhixia's guess.

Qian An did take people to suppress the bandits.

But suppressing bandits is only one of them.

More importantly, Qian An felt that once the ferry crossing in Nanyun was breached, not only would he not be able to defend it here, but it would also likely cause him unnecessary trouble at this critical juncture.

The person sent by Gui Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "After learning that you had gone to Nandukou, Master Qian couldn't wait for his family to pack their bags and left Nanyun with his two most beloved sons."

"Master Qian's trip was rushed, and he didn't bring his other family members with him. They are all in the Qian family mansion right now."

Qian An never took anyone with him, from his seventy-year-old mother and the wife who had accompanied him for half his life to his seven or eight-year-old illegitimate sons and daughters.

From the outside, it seems that the family's roots are still in Nanyun, and it seems that they can go there and come back soon.

But the two sons he took away in an emergency were fifteen and eight years old.

If you are in a hurry to suppress the bandits, why bring two children with you?

Lingchu rode his horse closer to the carriage window and whispered, "Master, Qian An is about to cut off his ties with the enemy and is anxious to distance himself from the matter."
