Chapter 386: Meet Ruan Shisha Again
The land of the East China Sea of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Langyu County of Nanliang further south are all famous rich areas in the Central Plains, and even the south of the Yangtze River will seem to be a little less rich in front of it.
After a long period of wealth and prosperity, a number of prestigious families gradually emerged, such as the Gao clan of Qizhou, the Cui clan of Qinghe, the Feng clan of Bohai and so on.
In a large area of the East China Sea, the Gao clan of Qizhou and the Cui clan of Qinghe are well-deserved wealthy families.
In the current Great Wei officialdom, although Prime Minister Cui Hao was gradually excluded from the center of power, he still couldn't avoid the huge influence of the family behind him.
In fact, after the news of the upcoming Northern Expedition of Southern Liang came out a long time ago, the Gao clan of Qizhou and the Cui clan of Qinghe were pushed to the forefront one after another.
The two families have been entrenched here for a long time, and their power is intricate and deep-rooted, and over time even the voice of the Great Wei court here has been affected.
With the defeat of the eldest prince Yuan Zhi in the battle for the throne, the contradictions between the Qinghe Cui clan and the Qizhou Gao clan and the imperial court gradually reached an irreconcilable point.
It is not the first to appear, but the early signs.
The gossip will not be untargeted, and the ambitions of the two families have been undoubtedly revealed.
Previously, due to external pressure, Dugu Chong, the general of the left guard, could not spare his hands to really deal with these two hidden dangers, and with the end of the trip to the south of the building, the prison heaven division, and the earth network, the external pressure has been resolved by itself.
In fact, during the stay of Xiao Tong, the prince of Southern Liang, in Weiting City, the Gao clan of Qizhou and the Cui clan of Qinghe had contacted him through the Wang clan of Langyu.
The two major families expressed their intentions that as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won the throne, they would raise their arms in their own county and shout in response to the Southern Liang and Northern Expeditions.
This was an excellent plan, if everything went well, after the crown prince ascended the throne, the Southern Liang army could start from Langyu County, through the convenient door opened by the two families, the army could take advantage of the situation to move west, and then send another army from the Yangtze River to the north by water.
The Great Wei defenders will definitely be in a difficult situation, and there is still a calamity in the north, and it will only be a matter of time before it advances.
It's a pity that there is no if.
All plans were strangled in the cradle, and the two major families, which were already close to restlessness, died down again, and this time they had to face not a gentle drizzle.
Both Luoyang and Dugu Chong have been alerted to the two major families, and even if Cui Hao is there, they can't be saved.
————
Lin Wanzhao, who stayed in Miansi City, was still running around for the goods every day, not because of how valuable this batch of goods was, but because food and iron tools were relatively sensitive things, once they were snatched and used by people with intentions, the Lin family would not be able to bear the consequences.
Uncle Chongshan and Steward Songfeng both saw Lin Wanzhao's tiredness these days, but unfortunately they could only help.
The matter of Miansi City is more complicated, and their Lin family has come from afar and has no helper to rely on.
Lin Wanzhao had just come back from the yamen, but the result was still so far away.
However, as time went by, Lin Wanzhao also got some other news, such as that they were not the only caravans whose goods were seized, and most of the goods of these caravans also included grain and iron tools.
Although Songfeng is old, he has a very profound view of human feelings.
If it was just one or two families, it wouldn't have caused people to think nonsense, but now that it was a large number of caravans, Lin Songfeng couldn't help but associate these things with the crazy rumors in the city, and the Gao family harbored evil intentions.
After a few people sat down in the lobby, Lin Songfeng was slightly worried, "Miss, forgive me for saying more, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. At the moment, the whereabouts of these goods are the most suspicious. Miss, if we really can't do it, we don't want this shipment, let's go home first."
Although Lin Songfeng said vaguely, Lin Wan explained what he meant.
A look of lament appeared on Lin Wanzhao's pretty face, and she immediately shook her head and said, "Lin Bo, I also know your worries. If it is as you said, I am afraid that it will affect our Lin family afterwards, and the Lin family cannot afford such a crime."
Lin Songfeng also sighed when he heard this, this matter can indeed be big or small, and the consequences of being careless will really be very much
Severe.
After a while, Lin Wanzhao spoke again: "Lin Bo, since the Miansi City Government Mansion will not solve it, I want to find a chance to go to the Ruan Family Mansion to have a look. If they can help us out, I will accept this shipment at a low price or send it to them."
The Luoyang Ruan family is another family in Miansi City that can speak in addition to the official government and the Gao family of Qizhou.
However, because of Shen Qian's relationship, Lin Wanzhao never dared to trouble them.
Shen Wanzhao also learned a lot about those things in Dawei, and Lin Wanzhao also learned a lot about Shen Kuang's hijacking of Ruan Shuisha outside Kangzhu City. The Ruan family has a big business, and Lin Wanzhao used to worry that things would worsen because of this, but now she has no other way but to do so.
Lin Songfeng heard this, "Miss, then I'll accompany you on a trip."
Lin Songfeng said that the middle-aged steward who was originally in charge of escorting the goods was named Nan Jia, and he also spoke, "Miss, then I will also be with you. I have also dealt with the people of the Ruan family these days, and I may be able to meet the chief steward of the Ruan family."
Lin Wanzhao nodded when he heard this, seeing that things were still taking a turn for the better, his troubled thoughts were also slightly restrained.
After that, Lin Wanzhao decided to visit tomorrow morning, and now the time is urgent, and there can be no more delay.
After the matter was discussed, Lin Songfeng, Nanjia and a few others left the lobby, and Lin Chongshan and the little maid Lianxue walked in together.
Lian Xue took her young lady's hand for a long time and refused to let go, Lin Wanzhao smiled softly at her to signal that she was fine.
Lin Wanzhao relieved his worries and looked at Lin Chongshan on the side and asked, "Uncle Chongshan, has there been any news of him recently?"
Lin Wanzhao has been inquiring about Shen Qian's news all the way, because the shocking changes in Nanliang have also spread in Dawei in recent days, and Lin Wanzhao knows that Shen Qian's situation is in Nanliang, so she was worried from the beginning.
Lin Chongshan heard this and said, "Miss, not yet. Previously, it was reported that Shen Gongzi had appeared in the capital of Nanliang, but that was a long time ago on the Shangyuan Festival, and now Shen Gongzi should have left the capital of Nanliang."
There was also an assassination on the Shangyuan Festival, Lin Chongshan didn't say it, he was afraid that Lin Wanzhao would be worried because of this.
After saying that, Lin Chongshan said again: "Miss, don't worry too much, with Shen Gongzi's strength, there will be no danger in Nanliang. Moreover, Shen Gongzi's master and predecessors are all in Nanliang, and with the help of Louwailou, Shen Gongzi will definitely be fine."
Hearing these words, Lin Wanzhao's mood also settled down a lot.
Although she and Shen Jing had only met once for a long time, she thought that the love in her heart had not disappeared at all.
In his long-term thoughts, Lin Wanzhao would sometimes take out the seal that Shen Wanzhao gave him, and when he saw the seal, Lin Wanzhao could think of Shen Guan.
At the beginning, Shen Jing still had only a vague impression in her heart, she couldn't see it really, and she didn't know what kind of person Shen Jing was.
Later, as she learned more, in addition to that face, she also knew the complete story behind Shen Jing.
Drunk to see the flowers, the color of the flowers is hazy.
Now that the clouds have cleared, everything is so clearly visible.
Lin Wanzhao learned a lot of things, although there were some things that Shen Jing didn't tell her personally, but she didn't blame him.
Lin Wanzhao knew that there was a powerful girl named Jiang Ning in the building outside the building who was also her confidante, so with her, Lin Wanzhao could feel at ease.
After Lin Chongshan finished speaking, he saw that Lin Wanzhao was far away and did not answer, so he did not ask again, but waited for her to figure it out by herself.
After a long time, Lin Wanzhao hummed in a low voice, and she said softly, "Uncle Chongshan, Lianxue, you don't have to worry about me. He's not with me, but I know he'll miss me all the time."
Although Lin Chongshan saw his young lady showing a smiling face, he still couldn't help but worry in his heart, he hoped that Shen Qian, who had not been seen for a long time, could suddenly appear, so that his young lady would definitely be able to unload all the burdens.
The fatigue of these days is a heavy burden for a woman after all.

After Shen Guo left Qingle City, he traveled all the way, and then he didn't stop for a long time.
In the Shen condition, I saw Miansi City from afar
He slowed his advance.
Shen knew that there was now a girl in the city that he had been thinking about for a long time, and the more he thought about him, the happier he became.
After a long period of wandering, what you hope for is only a short period of peace, and the embrace after meeting your beloved is enough to calm the whole world.
Shen Jing slowed down, he leaned on the hero's back, drank wine, and let the hero hump him into the city like this.
After traveling like this for a long time, one person and one horse are a little closer to Miansi City.
Not long after, the arrival of a group of passers-by in the rear disturbed the tranquility of Shen Jing.
Shen Jing got up and looked back, it turned out to be a team of chariots and horses coming from afar, and they looked like they were still rich and noble.
For these people, Shen Jing didn't care about them at first, but as the other party got closer and closer, Shen Jing suddenly realized that there were several extremely powerful existences in this team, and they seemed to be masters of the Grandmaster Realm.
As Shen Kuang's own realm stepped into the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm, he became much more sensitive to his surroundings, both people and things.
The few people in the team were all inconspicuous masters, and in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Shen Kuang rode over and gave the road to them.
Shen Jing, who was traveling alone, naturally attracted the attention of the people in the rear very early.
At the front of the convoy was an old man in a gray robe, and after seeing Shen Jing in front of him, although he only saw the back, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.
As he got closer, the gray-robed old man also saw the young man in the green shirt with the sword on his back, and the appearance of a young man appeared in his mind.
Shen Kuang, who was walking in front, always felt that someone was looking at him behind him, and he didn't care about it at first, but after a while, the feeling was still there, so Shen Kuang also glanced back.
It's okay not to look at it, but he almost didn't startle Shen Jing when he saw it, because he recognized the other party the first time he turned around and saw the old man.
Shen Guan turned around and turned back in an instant, pretending to be calm and continuing to hurry, but in fact, his heart was already restless.
In fact, this team is no one else, it is the Ruan family who came all the way from Luoyang.
The gray-robed old man at the head of Shen is no stranger, it is the one of the Ruan family, Qin Han.
At that time, Shen Kuang robbed Ruan Shuisha under Qin Han's nose, and now that he met this old man on a narrow road, he inevitably wanted to take revenge on himself, so Shen Kuang thought that he still had to hide.
However, now that they have met, Shen Kuang feels that if he runs away now, he will be suspected of having a weak heart, so Shen Kuang has no choice but to pretend to be calm and continue to move forward slowly.
However, they still couldn't avoid the narrow road encounter, and the Ruan family's convoy soon came to the front.
Ruan Shuisha, who had been sitting in the carriage, felt a little stuffy, so he opened the side curtain and planned to take a look at the outside scenery by the way, but the back of the green shirt on the road ahead was too eye-catching, and Ruan Shuisha's eyes were immediately attracted to it.
The green shirt, the back sword, the black horse and the wine pot on his waist, seeing all this, Ruan Shuisha suddenly had a figure that disappeared for a long time in his mind.
In order to make sure if it was not, Ruan Shuisha kept staring and didn't let go of her gaze until the carriage slowly drove past her and looked at it, who was not Shen Jing.
Ruan Shisha immediately asked to stop and got out of the car excitedly.
is really afraid of something, Shen Jing knows that he will inevitably be recognized.
After the convoy stopped, Qin Han, who was at the front, looked at Shen Jing beside him with interest.
Shen Guan was a little frizzy when he looked at him, and finally opened his mouth to greet him first, "Senior Qin."
Qin Han sneered and did not respond.
At this time, Ruan Shuisha also happened to get out of the carriage, and when Shen saw this, he immediately dismounted and greeted with a smile: "Miss Ruan, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Ruan Shuiyan's eyes widened and stared at Shen Qian, she was a little incredible, she could really meet Shen Qian, after a while, she came back to her senses, looked at Shen Jing with some happiness and smiled: "Shen Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time."
