Chapter 204: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

Qiu Buwei respectfully sent the three nobles out of the yamen, and after seeing them board the car and leave, he returned to the back hall with palpitations.

He sat down, trying to take a sip of tea and meditate, but found that his hands could barely hold the cup.

At this time, Chen Xiaochong walked in, with a smile on his face, and said, "Congratulations to your lord for surviving this catastrophe safely." ”

Qiu Buwei said gloomily: "This matter is not over, the future is uncertain, how can we talk about this catastrophe." ”

Chen Xiaochong comforted: "Since the secret guard has taken over this matter, the future affairs naturally have nothing to do with the adult, isn't the adult already in peace?" ”

At this time, Qiu Buwei saw that there was no one left and right, so he suddenly lowered his voice and wondered, "Don't you think this thing is weird?" ”

Chen Xiaochong asked: "What does the county decree mean?" ”

Qiu Buwei's cloudy eyes looked around for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "After the secret guard started to take people, why didn't King Qi get angry, but instead chatted with Princess Pingle and Su Gongzi Pinming?" And when he was leaving, looking at the eyes of the king, he seemed to favor Na Su Gongzi. ”

Chen Xiaochong said with a smile: "The nobles will act like people in the market, and they will look at each other angrily. Before failing to hit the first blow, even if they have secretly fought each other, they will be polite on the surface and will not tear their faces. And King Qi was only afraid of solicitation, so he favored Su Gongzi. ”

"King Qi wants to recruit Su Gongzi?" Qiu Buwei was puzzled and said: "Su Shi put Dongyuan Quarantinery and Li Yue Si in a situation where they will never recover, and King Qi will recruit him regardless of his previous suspicions?" ”

Chen Xiaochong said with a smile: "For the big people, they have to do big things, so the Dongyuan Quality Library and the Covenant Division are nothing to King Qi at all. On the contrary, this Su Gongzi is a rare talent, if the King of Qi can recruit him to his command, the King of Qi will be blessed by misfortune. ”

Qiu Buwei felt that Chen Xiaochong's analysis was not unreasonable, and kept nodding, but finally said: "Looking at Su Gongzi's expression, it seems that he does not mean to take refuge in King Qi. ”

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and it was not until Qiu Buwei's heart completely calmed down that Chen Xiaochong said goodbye and left.

When Zhou Jin and Su Shi returned to the Qianqiu Warehouse, it was already evening.

As soon as the two got out of the carriage, Lin Mo and Zhang Ao had already greeted them.

Su Shi looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "You have worked hard in the past few days, you should go back to the house to rest, why wait for me here." ”

But Lin Mo and Zhang Ao did not have a look of joy at this time, but their faces were solemn.

Su Shi touched his nose and asked, "What happened?" ”

Lin Mo and Zhang Ao suddenly knelt on one knee and said ashamedly: "Please also ask the son to punish him." ”

"What are you doing to punish you for no reason? Don't hurry up yet. ”

However, the two of them were motionless, Lin Mo didn't seem to dare to look at Su Shi, lowered his head and said, "There was a fish that slipped through the net in this operation, so I also asked Gongzi to punish him." ”

"Slipping through the net? Who? ”

"Bai Jiangchuan."

Su Shi didn't get angry, but he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "How did you let him run away?" ”

Lin Mo replied: "Bai Jiangchuan has been living in the Dongyuan Reservoir for a long time, but when the secret guard was arresting people in the Dongyuan Reservoir today, he found that Bai Jiangchuan was not there, and under careful interrogation, he learned that Bai Jiangchuan left the Dongyuan Reservoir yesterday and did not return overnight. ”

Su Shi frowned: "Leave at the right time?" Didn't return overnight? What about the others? ”

Lin Mo said: "They have all been controlled by the secret guards. ”

"So, Bai Jiangchuan left alone last night?"

"Yes." Lin Mo replied: "Today, the secret guards have secretly visited the places where Bai Jiangchuan may stay, and they have not found any trace of him. ”

Bai Jiangchuan actually disappeared.

Su Shi couldn't help but look at Zhou Jin, but Zhou Jin was also frowning at this time, obviously not expecting such a thing to happen.

Su Shi thought for a while, and said with a relaxed expression: "This is not a big deal, so why punish it, you guys get up." ”

Seeing that Su Shi really had no intention of punishing, Lin Mo and Zhang Ao got up, but the worry on their faces did not subside.

"What else?"

Lin Mo muttered: "Bai Jiangchuan is missing, and there is still no news of him at this time. Now he was afraid that he already knew about the Dongyuan Plasma being banned by the Secret Guard. ”

"So you're worried that he's fled the capital?"

"If Bai Jiangchuan has already fled the capital, we are not worried." Lin Mo said: "What we are worried about is that he will take risks and do something unfavorable to Gongzi. ”

Su Shi couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Are you still afraid that he will assassinate me?" I don't believe Bai Jiangchuan would do such a stupid thing. ”

At this time, Zhou Jin's face also showed a sad color, and she said softly: "What Lin Huyuan said is not unreasonable, as the so-called dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, now Bai Jiangchuan is alone, with his character, he may not be able to do such things, so be careful in everything." ”

After hearing this, Su Shi stopped arguing, and said with a smile: "Even if Bai Jiangchuan is harmful to people's hearts, you are by my side, I believe he will not be able to start." ”

Lin Mo and Zhang Ao immediately clasped their fists and said in unison: "With me waiting for Gongzi, I will do my best to protect Gongzi's safety." ”

Su Shi nodded and said, "Now take a break in the advanced quality warehouse, I'm also a little tired after sitting in the carriage for so long." ”

Coming to the Qianqiu Quality Library study, as soon as Su Shi sat down, Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask: "In Cuiyun County, what do you mean by what you said to the eldest emperor?" ”

Su Shi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Haven't you seen that someone is cooperating with us to deal with your eldest brother." ”

Zhou Jin was shocked: "Someone is cooperating with us? Who? ”

Su Shi sighed: "I don't know." ”

Zhou Jin was puzzled: "Why do you say that someone is cooperating with us?" ”

"Don't you think that this time King Qi was defeated too easily, and it was also a little too miserable. Needless to say, the Dongyuan Quality Library will definitely be banned, and the Rio Division will not be able to escape, and even the household department will be involved. Is the result of this battle beyond your imagination? ”

Zhou Jin nodded silently.

Su Shi said again: "And the reason for all this is that the methods used by Tian Wenhao are too crude and full of flaws. With your understanding of Tian Wenhao, he shouldn't have made such a big mistake. ”

"First of all, Li Tan and Zhao Gang should not appear next to Jiang Qinghe, let alone appear in the Qianqiu Quality Bank with Jiang Qinghe. Because of Jiang Qinghe's death, these two people must be seriously suspected. With the looks of these two people, it was only a matter of time before they were caught. ”

"Secondly, they shouldn't have made a move on Jiang Qinghe so quickly, Jiang Qinghe has been borrowing money from Qianqiu Treasure Bank for one year, so they have plenty of time, and they don't have to be in such a hurry to deal with us."

"And there's a big problem with the method they're using?"

"What's the problem?"

Su Shi said slowly: "How can they be so sure that when we verify the authenticity of the official seal on the contract, the contracts used for comparison are all contracts from half a year ago?" ”
