Chapter 755: Life is coming to an end
Song Shiyu and his wife had just left the Xie family's villa and did not notice a carriage coming around the corner.
"Master, we're here."
Inside the carriage, Xie Zhan withdrew his gaze thoughtfully and lowered the carriage curtain.
He had been sending people to monitor his wife's situation, mainly because she had insisted on bringing the children to Fuling for a short stay, which was a bit strange.
Later, when her husband died, she only took her children back to attend the funeral. Later, she came to Fuling again to observe the mourning period. It was so abnormal.
He felt that there must be something in Fuling that she cared about.
Since she had had precognitive dreams before, he had to think in this direction.
Later, she supported Song Shiyu and gave him a lot of help, and he knew it all.
Song Shiyu's people had investigated him and could only say that the sixteen-year-old Song Shiyu was a rough diamond. Give him a chance, and in time, he would be no less talented than this group of gifted children.
But he knew very well that his wife did not have the ability to judge people...
This once again confirmed his guess. It seemed that her precognitive dream was at work again.
After sorting these out, Xie Zhan stopped turning his thumb ring.
By the time Xie Zhan got off the carriage, nothing could be seen of him anymore.
After he stood still, he said calmly, "Go forward and knock on the door."
A quarter of an hour later, the steward of the other courtyard came to invite Zhao Yutan, "Madam, the head of the family is here."
Patriarch? Zhao Yutan's face turned pale. Was it Xie Wei or Xie Zhan?
"The master is currently waiting for his wife in the main hall."
Zhao Yutan stood up, then paused, and finally lifted her skirt and walked quickly to the main hall.
After the steward of the villa led Madam Zhao Yutan to the hall, he left and closed the door before leaving.
There were only two people left in the entire hall.
Zhao Yutan stared at the masked man in front of him.
Xie Zhan slowly took off his mask, "It's me."
Zhao Yutan covered his mouth, tears rolling down his cheeks.
An hour later, Zhao Yutan fell into a deep sleep with the help of his maid, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
Xie Zhan was incredibly lucid. Zheyingchong? So that was why she had insisted on bringing her son to Fuling.
After figuring it out, Xie Zhan stood up, put on an outer robe, walked out of the room, and ordered outside the door, "Send someone to watch Song Shiyu and don't let him leave Fuling." He didn't want any unnecessary trouble to happen.
On the other side, when Song Shiyu left the Xie family villa, he felt like a thorn in his back. He resisted the urge to look back and left with his wife.
It wasn't until he got home that the strange feeling disappeared and he finally relaxed.
His wife was about to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but he stopped her.
His wife looked at him in confusion.
"Pack your bags, we're leaving Fuling for a while."
"Where are you going?"
"Qingzhou! Let's go to Qingzhou!" Song Shiyu said this decisively.
When Xie Zhan's men arrived at the Song family, the house was already deserted.
After Xie Zhan learned about it, he could only regret that he gave the order too late, and at the same time sighed that there are still many smart people in this world.
Pingzhou, Changli
Lu Songli asked Xian Feng, "Did Xie Zhan leave the Southland?"
After knowing that Xie Zhan had faked his death in Nandi, the people in Nandi never stopped monitoring Xie Zhan.
Chen Jinshui was a friend Qin Sheng made in the market before they were exiled.
Later, Chen Jinshui was unable to follow Qin Sheng to Pingzhou because his child was sick, and this time he fell behind.
Then, during Qin Sheng's attack on the Yali Mountain Stronghold, he was injured and had to recuperate for a while, unable to make any achievements. Once again, he fell behind his peers. Later, he had to find another way out and volunteered to help the governor expand the territory.
He then changed his identity several times, and later went to the South, where he lay low and slowly started doing business there.
This time the news was brought back by Chen Jinshui.
Xian Feng replied, "Yes. News came from the South that Xie Zhan quietly left the South a few days ago."
"Xie Wei's wife and children have not been rescued yet?" Lu Songli asked again.
Xian Feng shook his head, "Someone has been keeping a close watch on Xie Wei's wife and children."
Lu Songli didn't say anything. She knew very well that this must be Xie Zhan's order.
She knew he faked his death, and he knew she knew he faked his death.
He should have guessed that she had cooperated and made deals with Xie Wei, so he did not give her the chance to rescue Xie Wei's wife and children.
Lu Songli did not continue the topic, but brought up another one, "I'm afraid Song Mo won't live long."
If something can't be done, then let it go. After all, Xie Wei's wife and children are also Xie Zhan's relatives. If there is no huge conflict of interest, their safety is safe.
Huh? Lu Songli's topic jumped so quickly that Xian Feng couldn't keep up.
Instead, Xue Xu at the side followed up, "Is the governor talking about the Emperor of Dali?"
"Yeah." Lu Songli was very sure that Xie Zhan would be promoted.
But he wanted to ascend to the throne as the savior of Dali, but that wouldn't work. She had prepared a generous gift for him. She had been preparing that basin of dirty water for a long time.
Xian Feng: "There's no difference between Song Mo being alive and dead now."
Lu Songli smiled but said nothing. There is a difference between real death and fake death.
Song Mo's current situation has decentralized some of his power, but he, as the emperor, still holds the core power.
Only when he really dies will power truly be transferred to another person.
Lu Songli said, "We should stop selling the white linen and other funeral supplies we have. If possible, we should store some and ship them to Dali."
Xue Xu immediately understood, "Is the governor trying to hoard goods and make a fortune?"
Xian Feng was speechless. Governor, you are not going to let go of such wealth?
Lu Songli was surprised and said jokingly, "Why let it go? Why not make money if you can? Even a small mosquito leg is still meat. Pingzhou Prefecture owes a lot of money now." And she was cheating Xie Zhan of his money.
So what if the cost of funeral arrangements increased? How could Xie Zhan, the successor to the throne, not let Song Mo handle it? After all, Song Mo had entrusted him with such great authority.
Xue Xu and Xian Feng, uncle and nephew, looked at each other and observed a moment of silence for Song Mo, the king of Dali. Even his death became an opportunity for the governor to make a fortune. This was unparalleled.
…
Xie Zhan began to take action and make plans, while they in Pingzhou had already taken action early on.
Lu Songli has confirmed that all the food and supplies are in place.
All military movements in Pingzhou were like undercurrents.
Qin Heng, Qin Yan and Qin Zhao all returned to their respective military regions early to mobilize troops and prepare for the expedition.
Qin Sheng has been in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone. Others, such as Le Guicai, Yue Shu, Sun Ming and other generals, are also guarding their respective military regions and ready to go.
Lu Songli and generals from various military regions have revealed that Pingzhou is preparing to attack the Xianbei, so everyone is ready to go.
Guo Chong, as the military advisor, and Dong Jichuan, as the lieutenant general, were inspecting the military area together. They found that the army was in good order and the soldiers were in high spirits. He nodded secretly, thinking that the army's morale was good.
Wei Kuang was also in the army. When he saw this scene, he had the same idea as Guo Chong: the morale of the army could be boosted.
At this moment, he truly felt that Governor Lu Songli was amazing.
Firstly, Pingzhou had to support so many soldiers and horses, which definitely meant a lot of expenses. Even the Dali, which had been passed down for generations, couldn't afford such military expenses, but Lü Songli managed to do it.
In addition, two years ago, Pingzhou just ended a great war and achieved great results, but all the supplies were consumed.
It was impossible to recover in just over a year, but Lu Songli was very good at raising money and food. Soon he raised a large amount of money and food and was able to start the war again.
He couldn't help but sigh that Governor Lu Songli had such great personal charm that the people were willing to follow her, and the wealthy merchants and families were also willing to trust her.
This is a superior that even an ordinary person dares to trust. Do you believe that there is such a person?
