Chapter 108 Zhu Mingqing's Plan
"Second Master..." One of them gasped, his expression filled with grief and indignation. "Second Master's body was hung at the city gate."
The head of the Qin family swayed for a moment, unable to believe that his brother, who was so lively yesterday, had already...
If I had known this would happen, we could have escaped together, which is better than being separated by life and death now!
He gritted his teeth in hatred, clenched his fists, and the veins on his fingers turned slightly white.
Liang Zongwu, I swear I will not be a human being if I don’t avenge this!
A thick hatred settled in his heart, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Contact the others and come with me to bring back... the Second Master's... body."
The subordinate quietly looked up at him and whispered, "The others...were also killed, all hanged at the city gate."
After he finished speaking, Mr. Qin could no longer stand steadily. His legs became weak and he slowly sat down while holding onto the tree trunk.
He breathed rapidly, thinking about everything that had happened over the years. His brothers trusted him, so they were recruited along with him.
He was determined to make a career, so he boarded the Liang family's pirate ship and did something as heinous as mining illegally.
Now he was implicated and died a violent death.
Those who spread the news are hateful, but the most disgusting one is Liang Zongwu!
The next day, when he saw with his own eyes the dozens of corpses hanging at the city gate and the piles of corpses like a small mountain under the city wall, Boss Qin could no longer hold back and his eyes turned bloodshot.
The rage in his heart burst out, burning all his rationality, and he wanted to rush out and rescue all his brothers.
"Boss, no!" His men grabbed his thick waist and pulled him back with all their might. "There are soldiers all around us, they're just waiting for us to fall into their trap!"
"Let go!" Boss Qin was so strong that he pulled his men's arms apart with both hands and rushed over there.
Another subordinate acted decisively and chopped him on the neck with one hand. Boss Qin's body went limp and he fainted.
"Huh..." The two of them took a deep breath.
The main hall of Liang Mansion.
Liang Zongwu has been in a bad mood in recent days because he has not been able to catch the head of the Qin family. Mr. Zhou knows that he is upset, so he simply stops bothering him with the Luo family's affairs and sends people to keep an eye on them.
That day, Liang Zongwu was handling government affairs when his housekeeper suddenly ran in and said anxiously, "Sir, Master Feng San has been hit in the chest by an arrow and is in imminent danger!"
Liang Zongwu looked up suddenly and thought, here they come.
"Have the criminals been caught?" he asked immediately.
As for Mr. Feng Sanye's health, he didn't ask a single question.
The most important thing now is to catch the person. If Feng Saner dies and the fish that escaped the net is caught, then his death will be worth it.
The leader Qin, who had just shot Feng Saner, was wearing a veil hat and had a cold face. He took two of his men and headed straight for the border of Youzhou.
He touched the account book in his arms, a sinister sneer on his face.
Liang Zongwu, let me give you two years of peace.
Don't worry, we will meet again one day.
…
Although Zhu Mingqing didn't know clearly what happened in Zhending Prefecture, she deliberately laid a trap before leaving.
I believe this should also attract the Liang family's attention at this time.
Luo Xiao was released from the Immortal Palace by Zhu Mingqing and was still sleeping soundly.
He was awakened by the tickling of the dogtail grass in Luo Fu's hand.
“A-choo——”
"Third brother, you're awake." Luo Fu said happily.
Luo Xiao rubbed his nose, still a little confused: "Where is this?"
"We've already left Zhending Prefecture." Luo Fu handed the water bag to his mouth. "Come, drink some water to moisten your throat first. You don't know how worried my second brother and I were. Fortunately, you are safe."
Luo Xiao gradually regained consciousness and asked, "Where's my mother?"
Luo Huai also came over at this time: "He was discussing something with Bao Lu, I don't know what he was talking about."
Luo Xiao hurriedly looked over, wondering if they were talking about business again.
No, he had to go and listen. How could he be left out of this money-making business?
As soon as he stood up, Luo Huai pressed him down: "Mother told you to rest in peace."
Luo Xiao pouted, ouch!
I wanted to learn something from Brother Wen, but luck was not on my side.
Fortunately, his mother was very capable and rescued him.
God bless them and let them reach Guancheng safely.
When he arrives at the Guancheng, he will expand his grain business and find a powerful backer. He might even feel more comfortable there than when he was in the capital.
Meanwhile, after Zhu Mingqing and Wen Baolu finished their discussion, he felt a little unsure. After all, Liang He always had a bottom line and principles. "Baolu, do you think I can convince him?"
Wen Baolu smiled faintly: "Madam, please give it your best. I believe in your ability. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."
Zhu Mingqing snorted, "Don't flatter me."
Looking at Liang He who was talking to Chang Wu over there, Zhu Mingqing thought for a moment and asked Fen Tao and Luo Tian to pack up some rice.
No matter what, if you ask someone to do something for you, you have to express your gratitude.
Chang Wu was very perceptive and moved to the side.
"Lord Liang." Zhu Mingqing sighed heavily, with worry in his eyes.
Liang He didn't understand what she was worried about. He had agreed to the escort company's request. They would not have to worry about food and drink along the way. Now that they had left Zhending Prefecture, it would take about ten days to reach Youzhou Pass. Then everything would be safe.
The two talked for a while about what happened in Zhending Prefecture. Of course, Zhu Mingqing did not tell him about the copper mine anyway.
After all, you can't write two "Liang" characters with one stroke.
It's better to be cautious about this kind of thing.
Then he quietly turned the topic to the rest of the journey.
"The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I feel really sorry to have to trouble you all. These cakes and the food in the cart behind are just for you to replenish your body."
Liang He's desire to refuse hesitated after seeing the food.
They had very little money left on the journey, and if they didn't make any more money, they would have to starve.
Zhu Mingqing continued, "My Lord, please don't feel bad. If it weren't for you, the safety of our Luo family would be in jeopardy."
At this point, Liang He, who was already moved, showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
During this natural disaster, food is hard to come by. If he wants to avoid going hungry, Madam Zhu's gift really touches his heart.
"Then...I won't be polite."
Zhu Mingqing patted his shoulder and said, "Of course you're welcome. We're still friends."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, she continued, "That's right, although this is closer to Guancheng, I still feel a little uneasy."
Liang He said seriously, "Madam, don't worry. I will do my best to protect you."
"No, no, no, I'm worried about the adults' safety." Zhu Mingqing's brows were stained with a hint of sadness. "Xiao'er offended someone in Zhending Prefecture. I had a lot of trouble rescuing him. If he brings him into danger, it will be the fault of my Luo family."
Liang He also knew about Luo Xiao's affairs in Zhending Prefecture, especially that he was checked at the city gate. It was very likely that the person he offended was not an ordinary person.
