Hearing Ye Changqing's shout, Yang Yingqian rushed over with everyone.

"My lord, a few corpses were found inside, I don't know if it's the eldest son of the Zhou family," Ye Changqing said with a heavy face.

Zhou Guangwu, who was on the side, heard this, and hurriedly pushed everyone away and ran in, and ran into the woods in despair, and after a while, there was a heart-rending cry from inside.

Yang Yingqian and the others also followed into the woods, and after walking more than a dozen steps inside, two corpses of the nursing home appeared on the ground, one was fatally wounded in the throat, and the other was in the chest.

Passing the corpses of the two guards, everyone continued to walk forward, and saw Zhou Guangwu, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly on a corpse, and the body of Li Yi, the leader of the courtyard, was leaning crookedly against a tree not far away.

It seems that Zhou Guangwen has indeed encountered an accident, Yang Yingqian sighed slightly, his impression of this rich son is still good, although he has the shrewdness of a businessman, but he does not have the mercenary of a businessman.

Zhou Guangwu, who was crying bitterly on his brother's corpse, saw Yang Yingqian coming, and threw himself down in front of Yang Yingqian, knocking his head on the ground.

"My lord, my eldest brother died too miserably, this must be a good thing done by the Wen family, please be the master of my Zhou family!"

Yang Yingqian hurriedly helped Zhou Guangwu up from the muddy ground.

"Hurry up, please rest assured, this matter will definitely be investigated and explained to the Zhou family, now the second son, your top priority is to go home as soon as possible, the eldest son is dead, Ling Zun must be in chaos, at this time the Zhou family's heavy responsibility is all on you, the second son must not lose his mind!"

Listening to Yang Yingqian's persuasion, Zhou Guangwu finally regained his consciousness and walked out of the woods with the support of two guards.

Ye Changqing led the officers and soldiers to search for a while, but did not find any valuable clues, so Yang Yingqian could only send a few officers and soldiers to escort Zhou Guangwu back to Quanzhou first, and then gather the team to return to Yongningwei and then think about it in the long run.

On the way back to Yongningwei, Yang Yingqian fell into deep thought, this time the Zhou caravan was attacked, all the goods were robbed, and all the rest were killed except for one guard, the methods were too cruel, and it was very similar to the action after careful planning.

Xie Shangzheng on the side was also frowning at this time.

"My lord, I just checked the scene and found that this gang of thieves came and went very calmly, and there was not the slightest trace on the ground, as if everything was planned."

Seeing Yang Yingqian nodding slightly, Xie Shangzheng knew that the two of them had thought of one place, so he continued.

"Those who can do this will definitely get huge benefits from it, to say that since the Zhou family took over our Yongningwei's business, even with our support in the back, who has the courage and strength to do this?"

"Naturally, he is the one who can get the most benefits after killing the Zhou family!"

Yang Yingqian's face couldn't help but show a hint of murderous aura, the Zhou family had just reached a cooperation with him, and the first business was robbed, this was not only the idea of the Zhou family, but also a slap in the face, if this matter was not handled well, who would dare to do business with him in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Yingqian's face became even more ugly, and after pondering for a moment, he turned his head to look at Xie Shangzheng and the others.

"Da Yong, you and Da Niu take people back to the guard post first!"

"My lord, aren't you going back?" Sun Dayong said strangely.

Yang Yingqian did not reply, but turned his head and looked at Xie Shangzheng meaningfully: "Big brother, dare to accompany me to Quanzhou." ”

Xie Shangzheng was stunned for a moment, but then he understood what Yang Yingqian meant, and the two did not make any other exchanges, and whipped the horsewhip on the horse's back, and a few fast horses disappeared in the rain curtain of Lingyuan Mountain in an instant.

Quanzhou Mansion, Wen House Ancestral Hall.

Wen Chengjun is kneeling at the foot of the ancestral hall, and the ranks of the ancestors of the Wen family are being placed on the wide offering table in the ancestral hall one by one, as if they are looking at the descendants of the Wen family in front of them.

A fine official kiln tea cup flew to the ground, and the exquisite porcelain instantly became torn apart in front of Wen Chengjun with a crisp cracking sound.

"Didn't you be quite steady before? How can you do such a stupid thing this time! ”

Wen Yingju's angry voice echoed in the ancestral hall, shaking Wen Chengjun's eardrums a little painful.

"His Zhou family has just done business with Yang Yingqian, and you just found someone to kill the boss of the Zhou family and bring back their goods, do you want to die?"

The flesh and skin on Wen Yingju's face were about to be entangled together because of the loss of emotional control.

In his early years, he begged for a living at sea, although he also licked blood from the knife's edge, he never dared to conflict with the government, because he knew that no matter how powerful he was, he was just a maritime businessman, and it was impossible to confront the government.

But he, a waste son who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, dared to blatantly find someone to rob the caravan of the Zhou family, and killed all of them.

"Dad, there's no need to make such a fuss, Mao Eighteen and their work is already familiar with the road, and it is very clean, besides, don't you always want to destroy the Zhou family? This time, I just happened to do it by the way! ”

A loud slap was slapped on Wen Chengjun's face, and five bright red finger prints instantly appeared on his face, which was a little too white for a man.

"Are you a fool when the Zhou family and Yang Yingqian? The first thing they suspect is you! Wen Yingju's chest was still violently lying together.

"My son thinks that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and the more suspicious we are, the more they will think that it is not us!"

Wen Chengjun said with a smug smile: "I also sent someone to put those tobaccos in a hidden place outside the city, and when this gust of wind passes, let our caravan buy it by the way, and take the opportunity to make a profit." ”

Wen Yingju glared at Wen Chengjun with hatred, and was about to say something more, when a subordinate walked into the ancestral hall with his head down.

"Master, there is a person outside the door who wants to see you, saying that he is from Yongningwei!"

Hearing the words Yongningwei, the corners of Wen Yingju's eyes couldn't help jumping slightly.

"Only one person?"

"Yes."

Wen Yingju sat on the chair, closed his eyes tightly, pressed two fingers on his eyebrows, and then opened his eyes and said to the subordinate who was still waiting for a reply: "Invite the distinguished guest to the front hall to wait, and I will arrive later." ”

After the subordinates retreated, Wen Yingju stood up and dusted off his body, and glanced at Wen Chengjun, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Before I came back, I was on my knees here!"

..........

Wen Yingju came to the front hall and saw a young officer and soldier in the costume of the Ming Dynasty military sitting on the seat drinking tea, and hurriedly greeted him with a spring breeze on his face.

"This military master, coming in the rain, what is the so-called matter?"

The young officer and soldier smiled, stood up and hugged Wen Yingju slightly, and said, "The villain is Ye Changqing, the personal follower of Yongningwei's commander Tongzhi Yang, and he has come to visit Master Wen on behalf of my family!" ”

Wen Yingju laughed again and motioned for Ye Changqing to sit down.

"I miss Lord Lao Yang, the bones of the old decay are very good!"

Ye Changqing didn't answer, but smiled and took a sip of the tea on the table.

"The last time your son went to our guard, something unpleasant happened, and during this time, our adults are becoming more and more unhappy, and today I also let the villain express his apologies to Wen Gongzi."

Saying that, Ye Changqing turned his head to look around as if he had unintentionally, but did not see Wen Chengjun's figure.

Wen Yingju saw Ye Changqing's movements in his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but flash, and then returned to normal.

"That time was indeed an old decayed godson, after Cheng Jun came back from the guard, the old decay beat him, who would have thought that this rebel son was so bad, he actually had a cold, and he is still lying in bed to recuperate!"

Hearing Wen Yingju's words, Ye Changqing couldn't help but smile, and then said meaningfully.

"It's good to recuperate in bed, Quanzhou is not peaceful during this time, Master Wen should also pay attention!"

Wen Yingju listened to Ye Changqing's meaning, and his eyes were suddenly full of doubts.

"What does Ye Junye mean by this?"

If he hadn't known in advance that the old man of the Wen family was acting very spicy back then, Ye Changqing almost thought that this was really just a harmless old man, and cleared his throat immediately.

"Today, the caravan of the Zhou family to Weitou was robbed, the eldest son of the Zhou family and more than 20 nursing homes were all killed, and the robbers did not know where to go."

After Ye Changqing finished speaking, he stared at Wen Yingju's eyes, hoping that he could see something from them, but unfortunately he only saw horror and shock in Wen Yingju's eyes.

"How could such a thing happen, Guangwen, this kid I've liked since I was a child, I didn't expect such a thing to happen!" Wen Yingju was heartbroken.

Ye Changqing, who didn't find any clues from Wen Yingju's face, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so he had to say at the moment.

"The largest maritime merchant in the whole Fujian, except for the Zhou family, is the Wen family, and now that something has happened to the Zhou family, my family is very worried, so I want to remind Master Wen that the Wen family must be vigilant in the near future, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Zhou family!"

"Your Excellency is still worried about our safety, it is really moving, please be sure to tell your Excellency, our Wen family must follow your advice, strengthen the power of the palace during this time, and suspend the business of going to sea for a period of time!"

Looking at the sincere old man in front of him, Ye Changqing was a little skeptical that Yang Yingqian's analysis was wrong.

After talking for a long time, he didn't get any useful clues, Ye Changqing had to get up and say goodbye, Wen Yingju actually sent Ye Changqing outside the door in person, and saw him ride away.

After watching Ye Changqing walk away, the smile on Wen Yingju's face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a haze and profundity on his face........
