Chapter 290: Surrender
Xiao Yue sat down with her daughter in her arms. She looked at Qian Yong and said, "This Yunzhou City cannot be left unattended. Master Qian, I have an unwelcome request!"
"Princess, you say!" Such a beautiful princess, any man with flesh and blood would probably be stunned by her beauty and unable to take his eyes away.
Although Qian Yong was not a lecher, but watching Xiao Yue's every move, he still unconsciously revealed a burning light in his eyes.
"The defense of Yunzhou City will be temporarily managed by Master Qian, and we will decide after Zhang Baiyun's matter is resolved!" Xiao Yue said.
"Princess, do you mean to let the common people take care of the city?" Qian Yong asked.
"Yes, you have the right to manage everything in the city. Of course, it must be reasonable and legal, not reckless. Also, all your actions must be in accordance with the arrangements of His Royal Highness Prince Heng." Xiao Yue said.
"Okay, I will abide by the rules!" Qian Yong immediately stood up and saluted.
"Sit down and tell me in detail what happened last night." Xiao Yue said.
"Last night, I saw Shilong being dragged away. Didn't you stay at Zhao's house on your first day? Then you came to my house, and finally went to Wan's house. I think these things shouldn't be so smart. Although the black otter is ferocious, it doesn't attack people when it sees them, and even drags them into the water to eat them!" Qian Yong began to talk nonstop.
It was as if, before he was given the position, he thought that it didn't matter because it had nothing to do with him.
Now that he was in charge of the entire Yunzhou City, naturally, he would tell the Princess everything he knew and guessed.
"They must have taken the medicine and went crazy!" Wan Yu said on the side.
Wan Yu felt that the Princess was a little impulsive about Qian Yong being given the important task. After all, this man was a rogue.
However, now was not the time to tell the Princess. Wan Yu thought that he had to wait a while before saying anything.
"Not only have they taken the medicine, but there should be several of them tied up with black iron chains under the stone dragon. Someone secretly feeds them meat, bloody chicken, duck and fish meat, to lead them to other places. If you want them to appear, as long as there is a smell of blood on the shore, the stone dragon will appear!" Qian Yong counted.
"So, there is no rule for the stone dragon to come out of the water, and it will not choose a day at all!" Xiao Yue said
. "That's right, I never believe in these things!" Qian Yong said.
"That's why you blocked the sacrifice last time!" Wan Yu rolled his eyes and said.
"The Wan family is the most important, and the city lord listens to them. Besides, they are not my children, so why should I care about them!" Qian Yong sneered and said.
Xiao Yue's eyelids drooped, thinking.
Qian Yong's behavior is indeed not to be blamed by anyone.
The Wan family is offering sacrifices, and the city lord is also involved. If Qian Yong intervenes, he will be the target of everyone's spitting.
"I will investigate this matter. If Zhang Baiyun is personally involved, he cannot escape the punishment. Humph, in this bright and clear world, doing these foolish things is unforgivable!" Xiao Yue said coldly. "
Mom looks so good even when she's angry. Hey, don't be angry, mom. Let's catch the bad guys together. Otherwise, the two children who were thrown down will be so pitiful!"
Baby Ling Yue thought to herself, and she handed the cakes to her mother.
"Xi'er is so nice. She shared food with her mother. She is so good!" Xiao Yue asked for a bite of cake, smiling. "
Princess, in this case, I will go to the waterside to guard it strictly. I want to see who wants to harm our Yunzhou like this." Qian Yong said.
"Send more people to the Wan family. Also, tell me about Wan Wenbin. After that, go and investigate him!" Xiao Yue said. "About Wan Wenbin
! Well, I...oh no, I am your humble servant!" Qian Yong had never been an official. His family had been servants for generations. Therefore, he was a little excited to be called to be in charge of the entire Yunzhou City. He changed his words on his own.
Xiao Yue naturally didn't mind these things. She raised her chin and let Qian Yong continue.
Qian Yong was even happier when he saw the princess acquiesce. He continued, "The old patriarch of the Wan family was a good man before. Although he had connections with the imperial dynasty, he was not a bad person and would not scheme against others, especially the Zhao family, which was weak. The Zhao family had five docks at the beginning, and now three of them were swallowed up by the Wan family. That was done after Wan Wenbin took over."
After Qian Yong's narration, baby Ruoxi also knew that the old patriarch of the Wan family was paralyzed in bed because he was injured by his most beloved daughter.
Saying that he had a stroke was just a statement to the outside world.
It is said that Wan Wenxiu does not like Zhang Baiyun, but the old patriarch thinks that Zhang Baiyun is gentle and considerate and can treat his daughter well, so he insists on marrying his daughter to Zhang Baiyun. For this, he even spent a lot of money to buy an official position for Zhang Baiyun...
Wan Wenxiu was angry and had a big quarrel with his father. He accidentally pushed his father down and hit his head, causing paralysis.
And because of this, Wan Wenxiu was forced by Wan Wenbin and the people of the Wan family to marry Zhang Baiyun.
"As for Wan Wenbin, really, Princess, I tell you, don't run into him at night. He is like a ghost. That face is extremely pale and can scare people to death!" Qian Yong said.
"Does he go out at night?" Xiao Yue asked.
"This guy usually doesn't go out at night, but I met him once. He was walking on the street with a lantern. I thought it was a ghost. It looked like him, so I shouted. He stopped and turned around slowly. That look scared me to death!" Qian Yong said, holding his chest.
"Turning around slowly means he has done something wrong." Wan Yu said.
"By the way, aren't you from the Wan family? You know the Wan family well. Tell the princess more!" Qian Yong said.
Wan Yu shook his head: "I am just a lazy person who likes to play chess. I have met the emperor of the previous dynasty and played chess with him before. That's it. The Wan family is good to me. They can give me a monthly allowance. However, this year, Wan Wenbin has become more and more stingy!"
"Why, he doesn't give you money? If not, come to our Qian family. We will open a school for you to teach people how to play chess." Qian Yong said.
"You are so good?" Wan Yu looked at Qian Yong and said.
"You are educated, very smart, and you can live in a family like the Wan family. I think it must be a good thing for you to come to our Qian family. It is a good thing for us. You can teach my children." Qian Yong said.
"I think so too!" Xiao Yue nodded. She was still thinking, who should she ask to protect Wan Yu in the future? Wan Wenbin will definitely not let Wan Yu go. After all, Wan Yu should still know the secret of the Wan family, but the old guy just won't tell it now.
