Chapter 743 Liangzhou Prefect
As night fell, the air grew slightly cool.
Wan Qiqi sat on the swing in her yard, enjoying the cool breeze.
"Sister Qi, it's cold, wear more clothes!"
Wu Gousheng hurriedly went into the house.
Then, he took the cloak and draped it over Wan Qiqi's shoulders, asking in a low voice, "Why do I feel like you're not very happy?"
"I have something on my mind!" Wan Qiqi answered honestly.
"What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll try to figure something out for you!" Wu Gousheng said quickly.
Wan Qiqi stopped swinging, turned her head and stared at Wu Gousheng for a while, then chuckled and said, "Forget it, why don't you tell me about your business instead!"
"My businesses are thriving, and every shop is profitable. I feel that the combined income is no less than that of a restaurant!"
Wu Gousheng said this with a proud look on his face, and even patted his chest.
After saying that, he asked curiously, "Sister Qi, why don't you tell me? Maybe I can answer your questions?"
Wan Qiqi hesitated for a long time, then sighed, "I still have things to do with Brother Zhu and Xinglong Restaurant!"
Wu Gousheng suddenly realized, as if he understood everything.
Instead, he asked, "What is it?"
Wan Qiqi stared helplessly at Wu Gousheng and rolled her eyes.
How could I have imagined that Wu Gousheng could actually provide me with the answer?
Before she could speak, Wu Gousheng spoke again.
"Actually, I think the problem between you two is very simple. Because of your experiences, you know more and plan more, while Brother Zhu is still stuck in the same place, dealing with things from the same perspective and in the same way as before."
Wan Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise, and she gestured for Wu Gousheng to continue.
"It's like this: you and your brother-in-law have already clashed with Liangzhou or even deeper because of Xie Xing, while Zhu Chengye is still stuck in Yunhe County. Compared to the restaurants in Yunhe County, you're not even in the same place, so how can you sit down and talk?"
As Wu Gousheng spoke, he sighed, "I've heard some things from my brother-in-law, and the more I hear, the more complicated it gets. You know, a good promotion has turned my brother-in-law into a thorn in someone else's side. How can that not be a headache?"
Wan Qiqi nodded, "Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although Yongnian's current position is dangerous, at least in Yunhe County, he can stand up to Xie Xing!"
"Actually, I don't understand why Xie Xing is doing this." Wu Gousheng curled his lips. "Everyone has their own responsibilities. If you do your job well and make breakthroughs and achievements, you will naturally be promoted. Why make such a fuss?"
Wan Qiqi's eyes darted around. "Let me put it this way: one still, one moving."
"Lord Fang is calm and collected. He enjoys the support he receives for doing things for the people of Yunhe County. He likes tranquility and a peaceful and prosperous life."
"Xie Xing is active; he's used to being active, just like how he didn't want to stay at home as a young master of a noble family and chose to roam the world! The current adoration can't satisfy him; only greater power and more adoration can satisfy his desires!"
"At the same time, for Xie Xing, 'stillness' is equivalent to being useless. Only stimulation can make his blood flow, can excite him, and can interest him."
...
Wan Qiqi and Wu Gousheng analyzed Xie Xing and added their own insights into Xie Xing.
After hearing this, Wu Gousheng frowned and said, "So Xie Xing will be like this no matter where he goes?"
Wan Qiqi nodded, "He either doesn't do it at all, or he does it in a spectacular way. No one can stop him!"
She sighed.
Actually, what she was most worried about was that Xie Xing would take the wrong path.
The promotion was a bit strange; I had a feeling that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes.
Suddenly, the branches above Wan Qiqi's head rustled.
"Get down!"
As Wan Qiqi finished speaking, a man dressed in a dark blue short robe appeared in the courtyard.
Wu Gousheng jumped up in fright, "Oh dear, Fengzhi, why is it always like this?"
Feng Zhi glanced at Wu Gousheng, then bowed to Wan Qiqi, "Madam, the matter in Liangzhou has been thoroughly investigated."
“Okay, go ahead!” Wan Qiqi said seriously.
"According to Wuhen's identification, the person behind it is the Liangzhou Tongpan. Because he was dissatisfied with the prefect's isolation of him, he secretly released Tu Yi to do evil, so that the court would hold the prefect accountable."
Why choose Yunhe County?
"The Prefect of Liangzhou knows that although Yunhe County is small, it is home to the Xiao family, as well as you. If anything happens, the court will certainly punish them severely and give the Xiao family or Old Master Xu an explanation!"
"A prefectural magistrate of Liangzhou is keeping his own assassins; his intentions are certainly not pure!"
"Yes! According to the investigation, besides Wuhen, there are other assassins, all of whom are still children. The one who has followed the magistrate the longest has been eight years!"
"Eight years? This person is probably not simple!"
"This person originally served in the capital, but was demoted for offending the emperor. After several transfers, he finally got his current position."
Feng Zhi paused here, "Before Fang Ziming, this man had served as the magistrate of Yunhe County!"
“No wonder he knows so much about Yunhe County!” Wan Qiqi murmured, then added, “He was demoted for offending the emperor; surely someone helped him?”
"Yes, some officials in the court have already pleaded guilty and received half a year's salary. Furthermore, after the prefect was arrested, he hanged himself in prison and wrote a confession!"
"The fact that he would rather die than escape from the person behind him means that person holds an extremely high position, one that he cannot shake!"
Wan Qiqi felt overwhelmed by the question. She closed her eyes, peeked out from under her nose, and asked again, "Have you found out the origin of that hidden weapon?"
"The items were purchased at the ghost market, but the seller has not been caught!"
"A ghost market?" Wan Qiqi's eyes trembled.
She had only heard of ghost markets in ancient times, where things that couldn't be bought in the market were sold.
But to my surprise, it really exists!
She felt that once she got to Liangzhou, she would also visit the Ghost Market to find out what it was all about.
"Alright, Liangzhou's advance notice is here. How is Wuhen's situation?" Wan Qiqi asked.
