Although Wang Qi has ordered that the assassination of Sun Chengzong is strictly prohibited, how can there be an impermeable wall in the world?

When the opening ceremony of the Beijing-Tong Railway ended, Wang Qi had just returned to Fuzhong, and Zhu Huiyan greeted him in a panic.

"Master," Zhu Huiyan has been completely insulated from the royal and political affairs of the previous dynasty since she married into the ruling government, and has never asked about the affairs of the court and the parliament, but today she has lost her sense of proportion: "Concubine, concubine body I heard that the thirteenth brother is suspected that he is only sixteen years old, he knows what political affairs the court, he has neither power nor money, and he has to rely on the slave family to help, how can it be."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Wang Qi looked at Zhu Huiyan: "Take a sip of water for your husband first." ”

"Master," Zhu Huiyan's face flushed anxiously, and she wanted to say something, but Hai Lanzhu on the side had already brought the maid over with porridge soup.

"Sister, don't worry, the matter is still undecided, let the master rest first," Hai Lanzhu will not be so flustered no matter what happens, whether it is related to Horqin, or about the emperor of the court or anything, Wang Qi will always come first.

"Yes, the concubine knows," Zhu Huiyan's shoulders shook slightly, and she nodded slightly aggrieved.

Having said that, except for the dead Zhu Youxiao, Princess Ningde of the former dynasty has only one younger brother, King Gui.

When he heard that King Gui was the mastermind of Sun Chengzong's assassination, he immediately made Zhu Huiyan lose his senses.

"The council has not yet decided on this matter, where did you get the news?" Wang Qi took a sip of water, then looked at Zhu Huiyan helplessly, and then said to the two wives and concubines: "You all sit down." ”

"There are a lot of involved in this case, and it can't be sorted out all at once," Wang Qi said slowly: "The parliament has decided to send my uncle to Wuhan to thoroughly investigate the case, and with Lu Xiangsheng by his side, you don't have to worry." ”

While he was talking, the front hall came to report that Li Qingsong had arrived.

"Go first, I still have business to discuss." Wang Qi waved his hand: "Don't worry, the council will handle this matter impartially." ”

"The concubine retreated first"

Not long after, Wang Qi saw Li Qingsong who came in a hurry in the front hall.

"Do you know what happened in Wuhan?" Wang Qi sat upright on the chair, his eyes swept over Li Qingsong.

"Regarding the assassination of the senior councilor, the preliminary investigation results of the secret guard have been reviewed by his subordinates." Li Qingsong followed Wang Qi from the end of Wei, and there was nothing to hide at all.

"Do you think the secret guards in Wuhan are reliable?" Wang Qi's question is really a bit straightforward and a little scathing.

"If you go back to your lordship, Hong Daoyuan, the commander of the Wuhan Secret Guard, is the first year of the Apocalypse, in the battle of Guangning Wei Siping Fort" Li Qingsong wanted to explain this matter by explaining the foundation of Hong Daoyuan.

"But he has been in Wuhan for more than a year, and the amount of bribes involved in the election is 16 million taels," Wang Qi shook his head and interrupted Li Qingsong's words: "You and I don't know what the situation is in Wuhan now." ”

"What do you mean?" Although Li Qingsong did not believe that Hong Daoyuan would be involved in this case, if Wang Qi had any orders, he would still resolutely carry them out.

"Tomorrow, Wang Huazhen will secretly go to Wuhan, and you will also go with some people from Beijing." Wang Qi lightly looked at the desktop with his fingers: "Wuhan's secret guard, I can't believe it!" ”

Pursing his lips tightly, Li Qingsong nodded and said, "My subordinates understand!" If he Hong Daoyuan was really blinded by lard, his subordinates would finish him off with their own hands! ”

"In addition, Lu Xiangsheng is the governor of Henan and Liangjiang provinces, and all the troops are at his disposal, if you have anything, you can borrow troops from him in advance to suppress Xiaoxiao, and I have handed over the soldiers to Wang Huazhen!" Wang Qi stood up as he spoke, walked up to Li Qingsong, and said earnestly: "Your subordinates, you are naturally willing to believe it, but also give me a reason, understand?" ”

"My subordinates understand!"

"Go ahead." patted Li Qingsong on the shoulder, and Wang Qi waved his hand to let him go.

————

Wuhan is thousands of miles away from the capital.

Wang Huazhen, Li Qingsong and others drove lightly, and it took more than ten days to arrive at this famous thoroughfare of the five provinces and the confluence of the three rivers.

"Li Er" Wang Huazhen rode on a horse and pointed at the city of Wuhan in the distance with a long whip in his hand: "This city is majestic, do you know who built it?" ”

"Please also ask the master to give advice!" Li Qingsong shook his head and didn't know.

Since leaving Beijing, Wang Huazhen, Li Qingsong and others have pretended to be the masters and servants of the goods to trade in Wuhan, so their titles have also been changed.

"It was repaired by Wang Yunquan, the ancestor of the Wang family, for ten years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been nearly three hundred years ago," Wang Huazhen sighed.

"That's ancestral glory!" Li Qingsong slapped his ass without a trace.

"Hahaha, the matter of the previous dynasty is not to be boasted," Wang Huazhen laughed, and led him with a horsewhip in his hand: "Enter the city!" ”

Wuhan City, as a place where the world's trade gathers, is better than the capital when it comes to merchant cargo ships and visitors from all directions.

The whole city of Wuhan seems to be a giant city built by merchants, where countless merchants gather and buy and sell.

"My lord, where are we going first?" Li Qingsong patted his horse and asked.

"First go to the General Association of the Business League to register your name," Wang Huazhen said with a smile: "Wuhan is different from other places, and the Business League has a lot of power to speak in the city!" Even if it is the president of the council and the president of the society, let it be divided into three points. And visitors from other places, as long as they have the official identity given by the Business Alliance, they can be regarded as having a pass in Wuhan City! Whether it is a hotel, a meal, or a business, there are great benefits. ”

"My subordinates understood."

Wuhan's Chamber of Commerce is located in the most prosperous part of the city, and the gate of the Chamber of Commerce is even more magnificent, even more magnificent than the front door of the Great Council in Beijing.

The two Pixiu colossias in front of the door alone weigh tens of thousands of catties.

It indicates that you will be rich and rich, and you will eat in all directions.

"Where did the lord come from? A few of you, please go upstairs and talk to the private room! "The reception in the front hall of the Shangmeng Hall was all called by the top grid machine, the master who watched the people order the food, looked at Wang Huazhen's rich and noble dress, and directly smiled, and led it upstairs to the private room.

"The lord is from Jinan, Shandong, and he is here to sell goods! Tens of thousands of taels of livelihood! Wang Huazhen didn't speak, just opened the fan and waved it gently, and Li Qingsong behind him replied.

"It's easy to say," the receptionist lowered his waist and brought a few people to the private room, and then someone sent tea and delicate pastries: "The small one will let the high-level business come to receive you!" ”

After a while, the receptionist closed the door and left.

Wang Huazhen sat upright on the chair, shook the folding fan lightly, and sneered: "In such a luxurious place, no wonder there will be a huge bribery case of nearly 20 million taels!" ”

"Looking at it is more prosperous than the capital!" Li Qingsong nodded.

"The capital is where the General Council is located, and there is room for such extravagance." (End of chapter)
