Chapter 159: A Race Against Time

Boss Qian jumped into the water violently, and the cold river water immediately rushed to his whole body, seeping into his wounds, and the pain in his heart came. He has taken so much care that escape is the only belief at this moment.

He was underwater, and he didn't know that someone on the shore had come to put out the fire, let alone that there were also messengers from the county government who had arrived. He had only one thought in his mind, and that was to swim forward and live...... Avenge!

When a wave came over, Boss Qian lost his last consciousness, and he no longer had any strength. It was as if in a long dream, and it was pitch black all around, and he wanted to go out, but he couldn't find the exit, nor could he find his relatives, which made him very anxious.

Suddenly, I turned around and saw the two brothers crossing a river and moving forward. Boss Qian was suddenly excited and shouted loudly, but the two brothers didn't seem to hear it at all, and there was no response at all. Strange, he rushed forward quickly, wanting to find out, but was blocked by the rushing river in front of him.

Seeing the two brothers walking farther and farther, Boss Qian was anxious and kept chasing and shouting along the river embankment, but there was no response until the two completely disappeared from view.

Boss Qian lay on the ground at this time, only to feel tired and hot, and his throat was almost smoking, and water was ...... He subconsciously called, and then a stream of sweet water entered his throat, which was very comfortable. It was at this time that the Lingtai had a little more clarity, and a glimmer of light was seen in the darkness.

The dreamlike scene was also awakened by this glass of water, and Boss Qian opened his eyes to find himself in a clean and elegant room, where a young man was carefully feeding himself water with a spoon.

"This ...... Where is it? Boss Qian wanted to ask, but found that it was so difficult to open his mouth, and he struggled slightly, and the severe pain suddenly permeated his whole body.

"Don't move, don't speak, you're seriously injured, the doctor instructed you not to move, otherwise the wound will burst and it will be troublesome!" The young man saw the puzzled expression on Boss Qian's face, and said, "I know what you want to ask, it was my master who saved you, but I don't dare to call my master's name, so let's thank you in person after you recover from your injury!" ”

Boss Qian's eyes moved slightly, the meaning was similar to nodding, at this moment he didn't have the extra energy to think about the ins and outs, thinking about who saved him? But the doubts in his eyes didn't go away.

The young man hesitated for a moment before he understood, and said, "You have to be strong, your two companions have not survived, and they have ......."

The second child also went? Boss Qian almost trembled, some of the wounds cracked, and there were a few more blood stains on the wrapped white cloth. Sadness and hatred welled up in my heart, and a tear rolled down from the corner of my eye. The bad news will not stimulate him, but will make him stronger and strong to live.

Seeing this, the young man left, as expected by the son, after serving the seriously injured Boss Qian fell asleep.

After passing through the corridor, he hurried to the front hall where Lin Zhao Gongzi was waiting.

"Son, he's awake!"

Lin Zhao was pleasantly surprised: "Fortunately, I finally survived!" ”

"What's the reaction?" Su An beside him asked softly.

"There are doubts, sadness, and hatred, and the little one has already told him the truth according to the childe's instructions, he knows that the two brothers have died, although they are sad, but they are very strong!"

"Very good, you take good care of him, you must let him recover as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

After the young attendant left, Yu Xuan was suspicious: "Childe, tell him the bad news directly, can he hold on?" In case ......"

"No, it won't!" Lin Zhao shook his head and said: "I can see that he is a very strong person, and if I tell him directly, there is no suspicion and concern, he will cherish his surname even more and live strongly, as can be seen from the situation when we saved him last night!" ”

I remembered that when I first rescued Boss Qian last night, I was covered in blood, and it looked really scary, and it was a blessing to survive, and it could even be said to be a miracle.

Since Lao Sun Tou desperately rushed to Hangzhou to report the news that it may be the Qianjiang Sanjiao that the ship had been scuttled, Lin Zhao instructed Su An to inquire about the whereabouts of these people. The hard work paid off, and I actually got the news that the three brothers are now in Hangzhou.

But how to find them is more troublesome and difficult. Yu Xuan accidentally mentioned that if the guess is correct, the three brothers should be together with Qinghe Grain Bank. So he sent someone to monitor Qinghe Grain Store, but he didn't expect to be unintentionally inserted into the willows and willows, and he was actually hit crookedly.

Obviously, Qinghe's Lu brothers are more familiar with Qianjiang Sanjiao, and they seem to be looking for these people, so they just need to follow secretly. Until now, he found the traces of the third child of the Qian family, and came to catch cicadas with a praying mantis, and the yellow finch was behind.

It's just that I didn't expect the other party to kill people so quickly, and tracking needs to be secret, so the manpower is not very sufficient. By the time I dared to go to the rescue, it was already a step too late.

One died directly in the courtyard, and the other two were fished up from the water, covered in blood and without moving. At the beginning, they all thought they were dead, Lin Zhao was disappointed, without these key witnesses, many things would be difficult to do later.

Fortunately, the boss of the Qian family had a great fortune, and after carrying it back, he found that he still had breath. Lin Zhao naturally spared no effort and ordered people to do their best to rescue him, and finally saved his life. As long as there is this person in hand, many things will be much more confident.

Lin Zhao instructed: "Remember, publicize to the outside world that all three people were killed, and then track down the murderer of arson and murder with great fanfare." Collect clues, and remember, this is a headless homicide at the moment! ”

Of course, Su An understood his son-in-law's intentions, and this matter would naturally be handled properly.

"Yaofu, tell the healer and attendant to take care of this person, and there is no need to reveal our identity for the time being. The boss of the Qian family is still confidential, don't leak the news! ”

"Childe, don't worry!" Lin Zhao has a lot of money and martial arts, and he is still quite effective in doing things.

Lin Zhao asked again: "What is the situation with grain prices?" ”

"In the past few days, we have fueled the flames ourselves, and their purchase price has been much higher, and it must be almost unbearable!"

They can't hold it anymore, and some people must be more anxious, it's almost time for us to visit again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Qinghetang study, Lu Ji sat and listened to his subordinates report the situation.

"All three brothers are dead? What did you see with your own eyes? Lu Ji asked in a deep voice, this is his biggest henchman at present, if it can be dealt with properly, there will be no worries.

"The third child died under the knife on the spot, and the other two were seriously injured and jumped into the water!"

Hearing such an answer, Lu Ji couldn't help but be a little nervous, and asked, "That means that there is no certainty that the person must be dead?" ”

"They must have died, so badly wounded, with so much blood loss, that they simply couldn't survive in the icy waters. Later, when the official sent someone to salvage him, the person was no longer breathing, and there was no movement, which was what we saw with our hearts. ”

"That's good!" Such an answer made Lu Ji feel at ease a little, and the trouble of his henchmen was finally removed.

Although Qianjiang Sanjiao's actions are very secret, the other party may not know about it, and there can be no evidence if he knows, let alone related to himself. But Lu Ji had a kind of instability in his heart, coupled with Bianjinglai's instructions, so that he must deal with the aftermath and not leave a handle, so he had to take risks.

Although the disturbance and arson killing are a bit big, this matter has nothing to do with me at all, so I can rest assured. Lu Ji didn't know if it was self-deception or negligence, he overestimated his luck and underestimated Lin Zhao's ability.

Recently, there have been a lot of things, and Lu Ji has been very busy, in addition to this hidden danger, Lu Ji began to worry about the purchase of grain.

"Big brother, it's strange to say, the grain sold by Meng's grain store has not only not decreased, but has an increasing trend, which is very unusual!" Lu Shan found some problems, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"It's me who underestimated Lin Zhao, and now it's certain that he must have used the grain stored in Changping's storage, and the amount is not small."

"Alas, why is Da Lang's movement so slow?" Lu Shan complained: "I don't know when? ”

"Erlang has already sent a letter, and there has already been a move, saying that let's wait patiently for a few days!" The gloom on Lu Ji's face gradually became thicker, and it was easy to say about waiting patiently, but it was extremely difficult to do.

Lu Shan said: "Big brother, although our funds are not very sufficient, they can barely be maintained, and we may be able to get through it!" ”

"Humph!" Lu Ji sighed lightly, pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Where is it so simple, we can naturally persevere, what I'm worried about is the ...... of others."

"Others?" Lu Shan seemed to be a little stunned for a while, and he didn't react at once.

Lu Ji said: "What are you hoarding food for? Isn't it just to wait until the price of food rises, and then make a lot of money! Now that almost everyone has exchanged the high price of money for food, what will happen if the price of food does not rise?

Now there is a disaster, coupled with the poor water transportation of the river, there is an opportunity for price increases. Once the water transportation is unimpeded, the imperial court is transporting grain from other places in the open and bright to stabilize the price of grain, and everyone will die a miserable death. So in the short term, they don't see the trend of rising food prices, what will they do? ”

"This ......" Lu Shan immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Although my own family is the first in the grain market, although the scale is large, it can't resist all the rest after all! Although the grain merchants in Qiantang County are all looking forward to their own horses, they have common interests and are running for money.

Now, if you can't make money, and there are new industry leaders with government backgrounds on the other side, what will happen to you? And this involves a person's psychological problems, once a grain merchant defects, the price of grain will always be flat, or even fall, and slowly people will become more and more panicked, out of control. Just as a flood bursts a levee, it is only a matter of time before the levee collapses as long as a small hole is torn open.

Now that there are dangers everywhere on this line of defense, and they can't guard against it, Lu Ji and Lu Shan suddenly find that the situation is a little scary, and they can't do anything by themselves.

Now we can only hope that the grain merchants will hesitate a little and be able to hold on for a few more days. At the same time, he eagerly hoped that Lu Huiqing's trick would come out sooner!

The line between life and death is completely a race against time!
