Chapter 114 The Daliang Mission Arrives in Beijing
Su Qianqian's heart sank suddenly.
Qin Hanzhang seemed to notice it and raised his hand to gently press on Su Qianqian's sleeve to comfort her.
"When? Who?" Qin Hanzhang asked calmly.
"I don't know who he is. Just a quarter of an hour ago, my Lord, I didn't know the name on the list was from the Marquis's wife's shop. I thought it was Cai Meng..."
Cai Yong was scared at this time and wanted to explain himself to avoid punishment.
"Cai Yong stole the account books from my mansion and was sent to the farm with his parents to do hard labor. Let him go and recover the stolen items immediately. If he fails, he does not need to come back."
After Qin Hanzhang finished speaking, he knocked on the car window. The guard outside immediately agreed in a deep voice, and the coachman drove the horse back.
Cai Mengniang fainted on the ground as she watched her son being dragged away crying.
[Just now we met a black-covered carriage on the road, and inside it sat the person who took the list, the little boy who ran errands for Madam Shaohua!
It turns out that Madam Shaohua has set her sights on Cuiying Tower! The speed was too fast to notice...】
The system adds information belatedly.
[Perhaps they are not targeting Cuiying Tower, but the people who go to Cuiying Tower and Huarong Pavilion.
Cai Yong is a rare loophole in Cuiying Building, and this little boy did not expect to have such a big harvest. 】Su Qianqian was also guessing.
The guards were ordered to ride their horses to chase after him. Cai Yong was lying on the horse's butt, and he was so scared that he tried desperately to hug the horse's belly. The horse's running was disturbed, and it kicked its back while running, trying to get rid of the burden.
A quarter of an hour later, the guard returned with the unconscious boy and handed the list to Qin Hanzhang.
Su Qianqian used the light Su Zi was holding to look at the child, who looked to be only eight or nine years old.
[This child is really lucky. It is said that he was picked up from a mass grave by Madam Shaohua and raised like a son. He is very loyal to Madam Shaohua.
Originally, he had someone watching Cuihua Building. When he heard that Cai Yong sneaked out, he rushed to Cai's house to look for something, wanting to give Madam Shaohua a surprise. However, he was knocked unconscious before he got the list and returned home. 】
The system ate the child's melon again.
Qin Hanzhang asked Cai Meng to check and confirmed that it was that list. He turned around and asked Su Qianqian: "How do we deal with this person?"
"It's not good to let him go back for nothing and cause me a false alarm, but I can't let him see me either...
When he woke up, he was given the pill to take. He was to send a message to Cuiying Tower every half a month, telling him what his master had asked him to do, in exchange for an antidote. Otherwise, he would have to wait for his limbs to be eaten by ants, his skin and flesh to be corroded, his bones to be broken, and his blood to be drained before he died. ”
Su Qianqian handed over a wax-sealed pill.
Qin Hanzhang took it, half believing and half doubting. Could this be the medicine that had been treasured for a hundred years?
The carriage of the Marquis' Mansion left first. The guard woke up the boy, fed him the pills according to Su Qianqian's method, and then released the boy who was frightened and pale.
After Cai Yong returned, his family huddled together and cried bitterly. From then on, they began their lives of hard labor and slavery.
After learning his lesson, Cai Meng stopped drinking and watched the list even more closely. Apart from sending food and drink expenses to his parents every month, he never returned home again.
After solving this problem, Su Qianqian felt a lot more relaxed and leaned against the car wall, drowsy.
Qin Hanzhang was sitting upright at first, but when he returned to the mansion, he had slightly leaned his shoulders against Su Qianqian, becoming her human pillow.
After this incident, Qin Hanzhang began to pay attention to Su Qianqian's two small shops. He originally thought that she was just making some money, but he didn't expect that she had other plans in secret.
So he ordered Qin Shisan to send two plainclothes guards to guard the two shops that night to find out if anyone was acting in secret.
Qin Shisan: Madam, you don’t know that we have already assigned four guards…
Su Qianqian didn't think so much about it. These two shops were her treasure trove and also her iron armor. So many powerful people's backyards were involved, and if anything happened, they would work together to protect her...to protect the boss. This phenomenon has existed from ancient times to the present.
In recent days, people from Daliang have appeared on the streets of Xijing City.
The Daliang delegation is about to come to pay tribute, and although these people will be restricted from entering important military and political areas, they can still walk around the city.
On the second day, after handling affairs in the mansion, Su Qianqian and Qin Yuzhuo changed into men's clothes, coaxed Qin Yuqi and Qin Yuping to stay at home as a cover, took Su Xing and Qingyu with them, and followed Dian Feng out.
Dianfeng is more restrained now. He knows that his appearance is not pleasing to his master, so he tries his best to please him in order not to be abandoned. He walks with his tail between his legs and follows behind Su Qianqian, acting like a well-behaved child.
The newly opened teahouse is also in Xingchunfang. The advantage of the teahouse is that it has a wide range of varieties and forms. Su Qianqian wrote down all the ancient and modern tea drinking methods she could think of, which can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.
In addition to traditional storytelling, the teahouse also has a wide variety of snacks. Su Qianqian is a wealthy person now, so she and Qin Yuzhuo found an elegant room with a good view, ordered some fresh snacks and a pot of tea, and sat down to eat and listen to the story.
[My lady, you guessed it right. Those people from Daliang are very interested in the name of 'Anmin'. Yesterday, there were too many people in the restaurant and we couldn't get in. Today, we hurried to make a reservation. It's still early, so we all came here to drink tea.
The tea drinkers sitting at the four tables below are from Daliang at three tables. They are afraid of being recognized and deliberately dress up as people from Daqi. They are all military generals dressed up as gentlemen, with beards and flowers on their hats, hahahaha...]
Qin Yuzhuo also followed the system's complaints and looked down from the fence. Sure enough, he saw four people sitting at a table.
One of them was a big, bearded man with a sturdy build. He wore a smoke-blue robe and a servant's hat of the same color on his head, with a chrysanthemum stuck on the edge of the hat.
Su Qianqian: This season is indeed suitable for wearing chrysanthemums...
[The beardless man wearing a green hat next to him is the younger brother of the old man with curly beard. It was right for him to wear a green hat. While he was away fighting in the wars, his wife and two concubines kept strange men.
I thought he couldn't go back, but unexpectedly he was good at escaping and went back alive. This caused those wild mandarin ducks to leave their homes. What a sin! 】
Su Qianqian: Only if you keep doing it will you continue to do evil...
[Although these brothers are old, the pretty young man sitting at the head has the highest status. He is Prince Ping, the nephew of the Daliang Emperor. He looks like a modest gentleman who is ignorant of the world, but he is the most ruthless and cruel person, and he is good at winning over his subordinates. 】
The system was talking about a young man in a jade-colored robe. His attire was not conspicuous among the four people.
[Didn’t the capable Daliang army still lose to the Marquis?
A small country in a tiny place always wants to stand up and compete with big countries, thinking that it is like an ant trying to shake a big tree. A lion is still a lion even when it is asleep, and it can still beat the shit out of you when it wakes up! 】
Su Qianqian mocked in her heart. Compared with Da Qi, Daliang was indeed a tiny country, with only one-fifth of Da Qi's territory. However, because it advocated the use of force, it repeatedly invaded Da Qi without changing its ways.
[I'm not afraid of the lion falling asleep, I'm just afraid of the lion getting sick! 】The system felt that there was a loophole in Su Qianqian’s words.
Su Qianqian was about to refute, but heard the system say in surprise: [Hey, this person... is not from Daliang, he is from Daqi! 】
