The woman agreed with great gratitude. Although she didn't know why the young master was interested in this matter, she set up a stall here and didn't know when she would be able to sell out all these things. Now that she has money, not only If a man has enough money to treat his legs, he can survive this new year.
Encountering such a good thing, the woman moved very quickly. After packing her things, she took her daughter to hire a car.
Li Qingyi felt that the woman didn't come back so quickly, so he walked around the street for a while and had a meal before going back. As a result, the woman couldn't sit still while they waited, and went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes to make money. Although you may not have a few coins for a while, people who are used to doing rough work will feel a sting in their buttocks even if they sit idle for a while.
Li Qingyi went directly upstairs to wait for her, and Chang Ning brought his wife to her.
"Do you understand?"
"I asked my boss." The woman nodded repeatedly, "In addition to grain and grass, sand and gravel are also transported to the ship."
"Sandstone?"
Li Qingyi and Changlan Changning looked at each other and realized the problem.
Looking at the woman with six eyes, the woman was a little at a loss, "That's what our head of the family said. She didn't tell me at first, but later I said that the benefactor gave me the deposit. If I can't find out, I still have to ask for it." Exchange the money back, and I have no choice but to say so."
Li Qingyi confirmed again: "The sand and gravel that was moved were also brought in by ships of grain and grass?"
The woman saw that she was an honest person and would not lie. She nodded and said, "Almost all the boats have been requisitioned by the imperial court, and they are loaded with those things. Each boat has grain, grass, and sand and gravel."
Li Qingyi was not only surprised but also a little confused.
The grain and grass were delivered to Marquis Yongping.
, can we also send sand and gravel? Marquis Yongping might have to arrest someone on the spot to skin him!
But some people still did it, and something was wrong no matter what they thought.
Li Qingyi rewarded the woman with another one tael of silver. The woman shouted "Heavenly Bodhisattva" to her, knelt down and kowtowed several times, and left happily.
"The local officials must be well aware of the grain and grass ships loading sand and gravel. Aren't they afraid of being held accountable after the war?"
Changlan said: "How about I go check it out?"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "The matter of food and fodder will not be clear for a while. The first thing we deal with now is Lin. You find a secret guard and ask him to go to the dock first."
"yes."
Li Qingyi felt tired after struggling for a long time, so he lay on the bed to rest until the secret guard came back to deliver the message.
The secret guard arrived late, and the ships transporting grain had already left the dock, but he brought back another good news.
"Although I saw the ship carrying grain, I saw a merchant ship that had just sailed into the dock with the emblem of the Ruan family printed on it. I asked a few questions and said that there is also a branch of the Ruan family in Yangcheng. This is where it comes from. Those who unload the goods will check the inventory in the shop tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. Madam, do you want to go on the Ruan family's boat?"
"The Ruan family?"
The Ruan family is the second aunt's natal family. To build a boat for the Ruan family, there must first be a reason. If Li Qingyi confesses his identity, then the Ruan family's uncle will know about it and he will be scolded. He will inevitably be sent back to the capital.
He is no easier to talk to than his second aunt.
She thought for a while and said, "Find a reason to ask the Ruan family's steward if you can take the boat, but you can't reveal my identity."
The secret guard took the order.
He did not expose Li Qingyi's identity, but
He directly said that he was the Marquis of Xinting, Qin Zeng's secret guard. This time he went to the border to deliver news and to escort a few people.
The steward who came to the Ruan family to do business this time was named Xue. When he heard that the other party was from Qin Zeng, he slapped his thigh.
Qin Zeng is the uncle of the Marquis of Xuanyong, which is equivalent to the uncle of the Ruan family. Of course, Manager Xue will not refuse.
However, Manager Xue did not dare to take it lightly and asked a few questions about Li Qingyi and Xuanyong Houfu. The secret guards had been sent by Qin Zeng to protect Li Qingyi. They knew all about these questions and answered them all.
Manager Xue was relieved and said: "We will leave Yangcheng tomorrow. You are in a hurry."
Just come here in time. I still have to go to the shop and have a lot of things to do, so I'll greet you when we get to the boat. "
The secret guard said: "The manager is very polite."
Just let them take the boat and stay in Yangcheng forever. My wife is pregnant. If there is any evil, please don't beat him to death.
After thanking him, the secret guard returned to the inn to report to Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard about its general situation.
She was still thinking that if she caught Lin, but couldn't leave, and was held in Yangcheng, there might be complications.
The nights are long and the dreams are many.
It's okay this time. Their top priority now is to catch Lin's group before tomorrow. As for the food and grass matter, she asked the secret guard to send a message to Qin Zeng, asking him to prepare in advance and think of a countermeasure.
Chang Ning Chang Lan was studying how to lure away Lin's guard, who was quietly defeating them one by one, when he heard the sound of people running out the door one after another from the next door.
Li Qingyi raised his lips and smiled: "You have forgotten that we still have a
Should guilt be by their side? "
Changlan was delighted, "Second girl?"
"Do you still remember the girl next to Lin, the one named Nan Zhu?"
"Slave, I remember."
"I imitated her hairpin and made a few for Miao'er. There are a lot of things hidden in her hairpin. But she didn't do it before we waited for us. Now she heard the noise in the room. Are you afraid that you may have diarrhea due to running?"
Chang Ning burst out laughing when he heard this, "Chang Lan, you stay here with my wife, I'll go and take care of those guards."
Changlan nodded, "Let the secret guard go with you, but you'd better be careful."
Changning responded and went out.
Li Qingyi also got up and went out with Chang Lan, and saw Li Miaoran coming out with her head in the air. When she saw them, her eyes lit up: "Sister?"
"Miao'er!"
Li Qingyi stepped forward and grabbed her, "How are you? Where is Mrs. Lin?"
"They were knocked down by me. They had no defense against me. Moreover, Mrs. Lin was pregnant and had low energy. That's why I succeeded."
Li Qingyi walked into the house and saw Mrs. Lin unconscious.
Changlan stepped forward and slapped her, but she didn't even wake up.
Li Miaoran said: "I knew my sister was coming back to find me! Before I waited for you, I couldn't think of a way to get away. Once I got away, I had to hide around to avoid any danger if I couldn't protect myself. So I simply followed Lin and the others, and had food and drink. living!"
Changning Changlan couldn't help but feel that this girl was big-hearted, but what she said did make sense.
The worst is to reach the border, and if you find a way to escape, at least you can defect to Yongping Marquis.
"I'm afraid Mrs. Lin never dreamed that she would fall into the hands of a helpless little girl like you."
Li Miaoran was praised very much
Happy, "I am outwitting you!"
