Inevitably had a lot of dreams at night, and a few days after the gift was ready, Hu Fei took the family to Jingcheng in a hurry to visit Ning Xinran's third uncle and grandfather.

This time they went to Jingcheng, and their family was able to go out of the nest.

However, this was not Hu Fei's intention, she actually only planned to go with Ning Shoucheng by herself.

Because Ning Xinran and Ning Yingran are both busy with work now, Hu Fei doesn't want to lose the watermelon and pick sesame seeds, so that the two of them will delay their work because of this matter.

But Ning Xinran didn't want to, the sisters had never seen their third uncle and grandfather in their lives, and now it might be the last chance, and no one wanted to miss it because of work.

As for Lin Chen, to Hu Fei's surprise, he offered to go with them.

Hu Fei was originally reluctant to bring Lin Chen, a "waste", with them, so as not to be embarrassed in front of his relatives.

Now her two daughters have become dragons and phoenixes among people, and they can hold their heads up in front of their relatives, but Lin Chen, a waste, has always been a stain on the family.

This can be seen from Hu Jun's family before.

When I go back this time, those relatives who don't deal with Hu Fei will definitely catch Lin Chen's burdensome attack.

However, Ning Xinran and Ning Yingran were very persistent, and Hu Fei had no choice but to compromise and treat Lin Chen as a maid who carried luggage.

From Jiangcheng to Jingcheng, it takes a whole day to drive, but it only takes a few hours to take the high-speed rail, in order not to delay the work of the two sisters, Hu Fei also made an exception this time and chose to go back by high-speed rail, instead of driving a luxury car back to show off.

After packing their luggage, the family of five set off.

On the high-speed train, Lin Chen suddenly received a text message, and after he looked at it, he excused himself to go to the toilet, and then picked up the phone.

"Emperor! I'm sorry to look for you now. ”

The call was from Ouyang Zhuo, and when he heard his beginning, Lin Chen guessed what he wanted to say later.

"Isn't the intelligence gathering going well?"

"Yes......" Ouyang Zhuo's tone was full of fear: "Please forgive me for my incompetence." ”

"Forget it, that's what I expected."

Lin Chen said lightly.

This time, when he handed over the task of collecting Shen Qianshan's intelligence to Ouyang Zhuo, he knew that the process would not go smoothly.

The death of Ying Quan and the destruction of the Kunlun Divine Palace dealt a heavy blow to Jiutian's intelligence network in the Yan Kingdom.

In addition, Ouyang Zhuo was not an expert in intelligence before, so it must be difficult to collect information.

"Emperor, I don't know, why didn't Emperor let Sima Yi investigate this matter?" Ouyang Zhuo wondered.

"I don't want too many people to know about this matter, so let's talk about what you investigated first."

"Got it."

Ouyang Zhuo then began to report.

Shen Qianshan of Qianshan Group, as Lin Chen had speculated in advance, was indeed Lin Chen's former apprentice Shen Qianshan.

At the same time, he is also the former chamberlain of the Ministry of Commerce of the Yan Kingdom, and he once set a legend of the fastest promoted official above the Yan State court.

It's just that three years after the death of Emperor Yanguangwu, the ancestor of Zhongxing in the Yan Kingdom, Shen Qianshan unexpectedly retired from the court and returned to the people.

But why did Shen Qianshan retire?

You must know that Shen Qianshan was only forty years old at this time, and it was when he was in the prime of life, and theoretically speaking, he had no reason to retire.

But the reason for this, unfortunately, Ouyang Zhuo did not find out, so he could only skip it first.

However, as Lin Chen's personal disciple, Shen Qianshan's talent is beyond doubt, even if he leaves the court, he is still a business master in Yanguo at that time.

After leaving the court, he partnered with a group of friends to found the Qianshan Group in Lingnan Province, and in just a few years, he became a local leader and was ready to march across the country.

But at this moment, overnight, the situation changed dramatically.

Shen Qianshan suddenly suffered a big change and was sent to prison for ten years in prison for the crime of forcible vision.

traitor

But he only stayed in prison for less than half a year, so that he hanged himself in prison early one morning.

"Suicide!?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes instantly froze, and in his eyes, a faint firelight appeared.

Although he has only been with Shen Qianshan for three years, Lin Chen is afraid that he knows more about this person's heart than his parents.

So it was hard for him to believe that that kind-hearted and strong-willed child would commit the crime of a strong sword!

It's even harder to believe that he would commit suicide in prison!

Is there something hidden in this?!

"What about the Thousand Mountains Group?" Lin Chen asked.

He can now be sure that Ning Xinran's third uncle and grandfather should be the minister who started a business with Shen Qianshan back then.

Judging from the experience of Ning Xinran's third uncle and grandfather, Qianshan Group was afraid that something would happen later.

Ouyang Zhuo replied: "The Qianshan Group was still insisting at first, but as soon as Shen Qianshan died, the Qianshan Group collapsed not long after. Most of the company's assets have been embezzled by local wealthy families in Lingnan, and the specific situation will take time to confirm. ”

"I see."

After listening to Ouyang Zhuo's report, Lin Chen's face was gloomy to the extreme.

Combined with the changes before and after the Qianshan Group, Lin Chen can now speculate with an eighty percent probability that there is some connection between Shen Qianshan's imprisonment and the fall of the Qianshan Group.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen ordered: "Ouyang Zhuo, continue to collect information, I want to know more details." ”

"I understand, by the way, the emperor, there is an old subordinate of me in the Howling Sky Wolf in Jingcheng, after the other party withdrew from the Howling Sky Wolf due to injury, he returned to his hometown Lingnan as the commander of the garrison corps, I heard that they have been promoted to generals recently, I will tell him to let him obey the emperor's orders."

Lin Chen nodded and did not refuse.

Now that Yingquan is not there, coupled with this trip, Lin Chen did not mean to alarm Sima Yi, so it was more inconvenient than before.

There are old subordinates of Yingquan, and it is also more convenient.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen did not go back immediately.

After thinking about it, he turned to make a call to Liu Yiren again.

It's just that no one answered the phone for the time being, and Lin Chen didn't wait long, so he left a text message, and then went back.

At noon that day, the family finally arrived in Jingcheng.

Jingcheng is the capital of Lingnan Province, which is not only more prosperous than Jiangcheng, but also much more lively than the provincial capital.

The family got off the high-speed train, wearing sunglasses, and Ning Xinran, who had been carefully dressed up, asked, "Mom, where do we go next?" ”

Hu Fei replied: "I already told my family before I came, and someone should come to pick us up." ”

As they spoke, they heard someone shouting at them from afar: "Hufe! This way! ”

Hu Fei turned his head to look, but the smile on his face froze.

"Hu Chunying? Why is she here? ”

It turned out that the person who called them just now was the person sent by the Hu family to pick up Hu Fei this time.

The other party's name is Hu Chunying, and she is Hu Fei's cousin.

The Hu family is patriarchal, and girls are generally not welcomed, so theoretically, the girls in the family should help each other and love each other.

But the fact is that most of the girls of the same generation of the Hu family don't like each other, and the trend of comparison prevails.

This is the relationship between Hu Chunying and Hu Fei.

When Hu Fei married the Ning family, Hu Chunying was jealous for a long time, but fortunately, Hu Fei's family declined later, but it was Hu Chunying's family who lived a prosperous life in their hometown, overpowering Hu Fei.

Seeing that it was Hu Chunying's family who came to pick them up today, Hu Fei pursed his lips and knew that things might not be normal.

How could Hu Chunying be kind enough to pick herself up, there must be something she wants to show.
