Fortunately, Su Qi and Gu Beiheng had learned a lot of Prefect Zhang's secrets from Zhang Xiulin. At worst, they could use these secrets to force him to protect Zhou Hua'an's official position.
Just not until the end.
Su Qi and the others didn't want to use these.
Yao Zhubu quickly told Su Qi and the others everything he knew. Zhou Hua'an was now under surveillance, and the county yamen's constables wanted to confront the Jinyang Prefecture officials.
only……
That's a courageous thing to do. That's all...
After a few moves, someone put a knife to his neck.
There is nothing you can do if you are not as strong as others.
Gu Beiheng knew that he couldn't let anything happen to Zhou Hua'an.
This time, Zhang Shuishan sent someone here because he looked down on Zhou Huaan. If a killer came to assassinate him, it would be even more troublesome.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng exchanged glances and exchanged opinions. After spending several months together, they already understood each other's expressions.
"Why did you think of dealing with County Magistrate Zhou before the New Year?" Su Qi asked with a frown.
Yao Zhubu pinched his brows and sighed:
"County Magistrate Zhou has a stubborn temper. In his letter to Jinyang Prefecture, he cited several points about the government's inadequate response to the disaster. In reality, he was primarily seeking relief grain."
Relying solely on his passion, he ended up holding lower and lower official positions.
Su Qi's mind moved.
"Disaster relief food?" There was a strong interest in her eyes.
"The imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief to allow refugees to return home and settle down. Food and silver are on the way." Yao Zhubu's eyes flashed with resentment. "Most of it was given to Jinyang Prefecture, and a small amount was given to the neighboring Jin'an Prefecture."
"Where are we?" Su Qi had a mature idea in his mind.
When these silver and grain arrived in Jinyang Prefecture, they also went into the pockets of Zhang Shuishan and others.
The fact that they could still buy food from the Yue family showed that they had a huge amount of private military supplies.
Some will also take the opportunity to raise prices and sell grain at high prices.
It would be better for her to purchase in large quantities at zero yuan and sell it to the people at a price lower than the market price.
Yao Zhubu was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected Su Qi to ask this question. However, he still told Su Qi that the relief grain had passed Hulu Mountain and would probably reach Jinyang Prefecture soon.
"It is precisely because of this that Magistrate Zhang took the opportunity to accuse County Magistrate Zhou of a crime. Then, the entire Jinyang Prefecture refugee incident will be blamed on County Magistrate Zhou."
Gu Beiheng snorted coldly, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. "You should go back to the county government office first. Give us a token so we can enter and exit the city freely. Qiqi and I will go there later."
"Okay." Yao Zhubu took off the token he was carrying and gave it to Gu Beiheng.
"Mr. Gu, Madam Gu, I'm leaving County Magistrate Zhou's affairs in your hands." Yao Zhubu paused again. "Personally, he's also my brother-in-law. I can only ask that you do your best."
"County Magistrate Zhou is a good official who serves the people. If we can take action, we will naturally not stand idly by." Su Qi stood up and said.
We exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Yao Zhubu left in a hurry.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng did not leave immediately. Instead, they sat in the private room and exchanged views.
They all agreed that Zhou Hua'an must be the magistrate of Yun County. It would be unfriendly to them to appoint someone else.
"Beiheng. Who do you think would be best served with this batch of disaster relief food?"
Gu Beiheng didn't need to look at Su Qi to know what the little woman was thinking?
He smiled with determination, "Of course it's better in our hands."
After the two came out of Gu's Hot Pot Restaurant, they went to the dock first.
After telling Ying Shiyi, the two of them had things to do in the next few days and could not return to Mengjiazhuang.
Let Ying Shiyi take Yue Jiushao back to Mengjiazhuang first.
When Yue Jiushao heard this, he naturally wouldn't go there if Su Qi and Gu Beiheng didn't go back.
However, he heard at the dock that Gu Beiheng had bought 500 acres of land and a hilltop, intending to build a trade market in Mingfeng Town, and he was very interested in this.
That's the case.
Yue Jiushao stayed in Mingfeng Town.
He lived with Shen Zhishan and the others, and would wait for Su Qi and Gu Beiheng to return to Mengjiazhuang before going there to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Su Qi didn't say much after hearing Yue Jiushao's arrangements.
He just wanted to discuss the details of the cooperation with Ying Shiyi. Ying Shiyi could make the decision on behalf of Su Qi and Gu Beiheng.
Yue Jiushao's pupils trembled.
He looked Ying Shiyi up and down. He didn't expect that someone close to him could be so courageous and make Su Qi and his wife trust him so much.
This is impossible in the Yue family.
All matters, big or small, must be approved by Yue's family.
Arrange these things.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng took Ying Yi, Ying Liu and Mu Chentao to Yun County.
After arriving in Yun County, they first went to Liujia Inn.
Gu Beiheng instructed Yingyi and Yingliu to gather information, and asked Mu Chentao to go to their secret base to see if there was any news.
After a while.
Su Tianze hurried into the yard.
"Second sister. Are you back?" Su Tianze was wearing a sky blue brocade robe, looking quite elegant.
In every gesture.
There is also a sense of déjà vu of a graceful jade young man.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng stood up together.
Gu Beiheng's expression softened, and he clasped his fists towards Su Tianze. "I heard you ran into an old acquaintance here?"
Su Qi casually poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Tianze, "Brother. Have some tea first."
Perhaps thinking of the brother who was looking for his sister in his previous life, Su Qi inexplicably felt closer to Su Tianze.
I actually regret that if we had met earlier, there would be fewer regrets.
But then I thought about what would happen if we met.
Then I learned that she had an accident.
I’m afraid that family will feel even worse.
Su Tianze's doting eyes fell on Su Qi, and he looked her over with a smile. "Second sister, you've lost weight again. It would be great if you could stay at home while we're out and about."
After Su Tianze finished speaking, he turned to Gu Beiheng and said, "Fang Xiaojun has come to Yun County."
Su Qi looked at them in confusion. Who is Fang Xiaojun?
"Fang Xiaoya's brother." Su Tianze saw Su Qi's confusion, "But he didn't go to Mengjiazhuang. This time he came to Yun County on the order of Emperor Wu."
Su Qi always felt that this person was not a good person.
She remembered that after teaching Fang Xiaoya a lesson in Mingfeng Town, she sent someone to deal with her privately.
But she was never found.
She just asked people to keep an eye on the people near Mengjiazhuang, but there was no news about Fang Xiaoya.
Su Qi didn't care about Fang Xiaoya.
Thinking about the snow disaster, it would be difficult for Fang Xiaoya to survive with her physical condition.
After Zhang Yunyu's incident came out, they sent people to investigate carefully but still got no news.
It seemed as if Zhang Yunyu’s affairs had nothing to do with her.
Gu Beiheng closed his eyes upon hearing this, then opened them again. He stared at Su Tianze and said, "Did you meet him privately?"
"not yet."
"Find a chance to meet in private. Force him to use his identity as the Emperor Wu's inspector to protect Zhou Hua'an." Gu Beiheng didn't care what means Su Tianze used. He knew that Su Tianze and Fang Xiaojun had a relationship that was both friend and foe.
Su Tianze: ...
"No, why is it my turn to do this? Zhou Huaan is just a seventh-rank official. Does he really need me and Fang Xiaojun to compete with each other in wits and courage?"
"Brother, Zhou Hua'an is very important. We can't let Zhang Shuishan remove this chess piece that he thinks is disobedient." Gu Beiheng looked at Su Tianze again, his eyes firm and unquestionable.
Su Tianze curled his lips: "I owe you."
Isn't it just that you want to love your sister?
Who knew that I would be ordered around by my brother-in-law.
Su Qi raised her head and smiled coquettishly, "Brother, you have helped us a lot. Bei Heng and I were supposed to make some arrangements."
Su Tianze softened his heart instantly.
Patting his chest, he assured, "If you have any problems, come to me. I will definitely solve them for you."
Su Tianze asked again where Gu Beiheng had taken Su Qi, but Zhou Dashan did not tell him the truth.
Gu Beiheng did not hide anything and told Su Tianze everything that happened in the forest.
Of course, there is no doubt that the couple can make big purchases without spending money.
Su Tianze frowned upon hearing this, and then struck Gu Beiheng with a palm. "Good boy, I'm your brother-in-law after all. You're fooling me like this."
Gu Beiheng was wary of Su Tianze's actions.
He dodged it with a dodge.
The two of them started fighting in the narrow space, punching and slapping each other.
Su Qi did not stop the two of them.
She simply walked out and asked the servant to call Weasel to ask about the situation in the inn.
