Chapter 210: Fancy the Goods
Returning to her room, Yue Fuli sat down on a chair and poured herself a glass of water, but what she was thinking about was what her father had hidden in the Jokhang Temple.
And why would the military supervisor send someone here? Could it be a military token?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Yue Fuli quickly suppressed it. She felt that it was impossible. Her father would definitely carry such an important item as the military token with him, and it might have fallen into the hands of the military supervisor. Otherwise, he would have no way to command the troops at the border.
But if it is not a military talisman, what could it be?
Thinking of this, Yue Fuli's thoughts couldn't help but diverge. Could her father's death be related to that thing?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door and Hu Wei's voice sounded outside the door.
"Master Li, there is news from my men."
Yue Fuli stood up, opened the door, and said to Hu Wei with a smile, "Come in."
Hu Wei entered Yue Fuli's room and told her the news he had just received.
"Are you saying that the people who are watching us are the major businesses in Nanchang Prefecture?"
"Yes, the three groups of people belong to three major companies."
"Are they interested in the goods we have?"
“It’s possible!”
However, Yue Fuli shook her head and said, "I don't think so. If they really wanted the items we have, they should have sent someone to negotiate directly instead of having someone keep an eye on us."
"What do you mean?"
"It's true they're interested in our goods, but they don't want to use legitimate means. They might even try to rob us."
"Isn't this impossible? If this is true, then the prefect won't do anything about it?"
“What if there is collusion between officials and businessmen?”
Hu Wei's face changed when he heard the words "official collusion with businessmen." This kind of thing wasn't uncommon; it was quite common. In many places, officials colluded with businessmen to scheme and take advantage of the people's hard-earned money.
"So what should we do?"
"First, have someone find out the prefect's situation clearly, then keep an eye on those three people. If they start to make a move, pin them to death."
"Will our identities be exposed?"
"Do you think we can keep our identities secret now? Instead of passively accepting it, why not take the initiative and get the prefect aboard our ship first?"
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After Hu Wei left, Yue Fuli found Wuyou again and gave him some instructions.
After Hu Wei and Wuyou left, Yue Fuli gathered the rest of the people and asked Yue Zhenhe and Yue Zhenjiang to take them away first. Of course, she arranged for people to secretly protect them.
"Ali, we're leaving, what about you?" The old lady looked at Yue Fuli worriedly. Yue Fuli was their backbone now, so she must not get into any trouble.
"Don't worry, grandma. I'll come find you right away after I finish dealing with these goods."
"Sister, you must keep your word."
"Don't worry, take good care of yourself." Yue Fuli patted her brother Yu Zhang's shoulder and said to him, "Zhang, I'll leave Grandmother and my brothers and sisters to you. Protect them, and even more importantly, protect yourself, understand?"
"Sister, don't worry, I won't let you down."
As soon as the Yue family left the inn, not only the three businesses knew the news, but the prefect, Lord Qian, also got the news.
However, their focus was not on the Yue family, but on the goods they brought.
In their eyes, the Yue family were criminals exiled for their crimes, and the goods they brought could be put into their pockets with just a little threat.
