According to common sense, if a daughter is taken into the dungeon by Xuan Qingwei and released a few days later, no matter whether her body is dirty or not, at least it is not a good thing for her reputation. This makes sense whether she is placed in a wealthy family or an ordinary family.
In addition, if this girl still has a good marriage, then she should protect her reputation well. If she wants to lift the lid, she should at least wait until after the wedding, right?
But now there are people in the Imperial City who are deliberately spreading this incident, and cleverly whitewashing the incident to make it simpler and easier to spread. And by the way, the name of the fifth prince, King Shou, was also mentioned in a very straightforward way.
What is this for? This is definitely a firefight.
Things that should not have been widely spread are now being spread everywhere, and they are also deliberately vague. This is because "people's words are scary".
As for whom to blame, who can be blamed even if King Shou's thick thigh has been torn out?
"Who is planning this secretly?" What Shen Hao needs to figure out now is the black hand behind the scenes.
"There is no definite news yet. However, according to the analysis of the "Four Departments", there is a 60% chance that this incident came from the Qin family themselves."
"You let yourself go? Do you want revenge?"
"Yes. According to the analysis of the "Four Parts", the Qin family has suffered a loss at your hands this time and has found many connections in order to gain people. This matter must not be hidden. Maybe we need to explain it to the queen, otherwise If the marriage between the Qin family and the fifth prince is not revealed, it is very likely that the royal family will hate it.
However, if the lid is lifted and Qin Xiangyu's body is really clean, it is very likely that the fire will be transferred from herself to the fifth prince. Moreover, the fifth prince had to consider the continuation of the marriage. He regretted marrying the daughter of an important minister because of rumors. This was not justified in terms of face or morality. If you fan the queen again, things will change drastically and become beneficial to the Qin family, but to you..."
This is very detrimental to Shen Hao. Because in the final analysis, this matter is likely to turn into a "face issue", and it is also the face of the majestic prince. In other words, it is likely to become a "dead fight".
But are these the only means?
"Is there more?" Although Shen Hao frowned, his tone remained relaxed. He has experienced strong winds and waves, and he has come close to death not once or twice. Moreover, he is not a rootless Qinggui now. He has a strong foothold. It will not be easy for the fifth prince to deal with him, not to mention The Xuanqing Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the prince doesn't have much face here.
Therefore, Shen Hao felt that if the Qin family wanted to take revenge, he would not have only this method. You must know that he and Liang Zi of the Qin family are not just a trivial matter some time ago. Qin Yurou is the eldest lady of the Qin family, and her son and husband both died at the hands of Shen Hao. Isn't it too much to say that "the hatred is irreconcilable"?
Moreover, the feeling that this woman Qin Yurou gave Shen Hao was definitely not simple. A woman who dared to stand in front of Shen Hao single-handedly and demand his release and a huge profit when her husband's family was too cowardly to step forward, and who was decisive in advancing and retreating, was something Shen Hao should be wary of. In addition, Shen Hao had always suspected that Qin Yurou was among the people who attacked the Black Flag Camp in Licheng at night, but he gave up because there was no evidence and because she hid in the imperial city and was difficult to capture.
Wang Jian shook his head and said: "There is no other news yet."
"Pay close attention to this matter. Regardless of whether it is a market person or a target person, any information related to this matter must not be missed. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I will make arrangements immediately when I get back. Also, do you think the Xu sisters can give them something to do?"
Wang Jian didn't pay much attention to these methods of the Qin family. In his opinion, they were still a bit too outsider, and he also knew that his master was not afraid of the fifth prince. This matter would probably be fruitless in the end: the fifth prince could not do anything to Shen Hao. Shen Hao couldn't do anything to the fifth prince.
However, Wang Jian, the Xu family sister, is relatively more concerned. These are the two most important chess pieces in the Blackwater plan now, and there will be rewards for lurking.
"No need. Let them adapt to the life in the Bai Mansion first. There is no need to assign any tasks to them. Haha, the life of the third-grade imperial edict is probably not that easy. What's more, the Bai family is full of resentment, and they may have to add more trouble to them. What a trouble. Let’s not disturb them for now.”
Wang Jian saw that Shen Hao said this and had no objection. The two chatted for a while about the Hengshun Car and Horse Racing in the south.
According to Wang Jian, water transportation is indeed included in Liu Hengyi's current freight channels, but it has always been a weak point. The main reason is that the ship is too expensive, and the cost of daily maintenance is also astonishingly high. Moreover, Hengshun Carriage and Horses previously focused on land transportation, and water transportation only started in the past two years.
However, after Hengshun Carry and Horse Company takes over the "Jinghong Carriage and Horse Company" in the south, it plans to vigorously develop water transportation. Because it is most convenient and time-saving to transport goods to the south via the Baijiang Waterway.
In addition, on the Jingdong side, the transport capacity in the Weishui and Xiahe river basins is mainly divided up by which carriages and horses. Liu Hengyi is not clear about this aspect yet, and has not paid attention to it before. However, according to Wang Jian, Liu Hengyi's reaction was "he was extremely positive when he heard about the mission and even asked if he could make a contribution." It can be seen that Liu Hengyi has adapted to his new identity and has also found the benefits of his new identity.
Who wants to be a businessman for generations? Being able to become a Lord is a dream for businessmen of all sizes. Now that Xuan Qingwei is the foundation, Liu Hengyi also wants to take a chance.
However, even if you inquire about Jingdong through various channels, you won't be able to find out immediately, it will take time. Wang Jian received a reply from Liu Hengyi, saying that he would try to figure out the situation in Weishui and Xiahe waters by the middle of this month.
"Liu Hengyi should hurry up to investigate the situation in Ruoshui and Xiahe. Also, can the drivers you trained before be used now?"
"Don't worry, Sir, we are almost fully trained. Once the Jinghong Carriage and Horse Troops are incorporated, they will be filled to the south as soon as possible." Without Shen Hao finishing, Wang Jian had already guessed the use of his master for these coachmen. . Send them to the south and penetrate as much as possible into the southern frontier military strongholds.
Sure enough, Shen Hao nodded and directly turned the conversation to the south: "The result is probably about to come out in the south. Regardless of whether it is a fight or a peace in the end, you must take the opportunity to probe the tentacles of Heishui. Once the fight starts, we can supplement Xuan Qingwei's presence. The poor source of information in the army. If we can continue to deploy without fighting, there will definitely be no peace in the south from now on."
Wang Jian was stunned: "No fight? Sir, this is not possible, right? Didn't Zuo Yuliang's two forward battalions have already fought against the barbarian wolf cavalry before? How can you say no if they are still confronting each other? Are you going to fight or not?”
"Why are you so anxious? I'm just talking about a possibility. The military wants to fight, but do you think the civilian officials also want to fight?"
