Chapter 497

According to common sense, the daughter of the family was taken into the dungeon by Xuan Qingwei and released after a few days. No matter whether she was dirty or not, at least it would not be good for her reputation.

In addition, if this girl still has a good marriage, then she should protect her reputation well, and at least wait until after the wedding date to lift the cover, right?

But now someone in the imperial city is deliberately spreading this matter, and cleverly whitewashed the incident, making it simpler and easier to spread. And by the way, the name of the fifth prince, the King of Shou, was also straightforwardly pulled out.

What is this for? This is definitely on fire.

Things that shouldn't have been circulated in the first place are now spread everywhere, and they are deliberately vague, which is aimed at "people's words are terrible".

As for whose fire to blame, who else could be blamed if the thick thigh of King Shou was torn out?

"Who is secretly planning these things?" What Shen Hao needs to figure out first is the black hands behind the scenes.

"There is no definite news yet. But according to the analysis of the "Four Departments", there is a 60% possibility that this incident came from the Qin family itself."

"You let yourself go? Want revenge?"

"Yes. According to the analysis of the "Four Departments", the Qin family has suffered a loss in your hands this time, and has made a lot of connections in order to get people. This matter must not be hidden, and maybe it needs to be explained to the queen, otherwise The marriage between the Qin family and the fifth prince might be hated by the royal family if it wasn't rumored.

But if the lid is lifted and Qin Xiangyu's body is really clean, it is very likely that the fire will be transferred from himself to the fifth prince. Moreover, the fifth prince had to consider the continuation of the marriage, because he regretted marrying the daughter of an important minister in the court because of rumors, which was unjustifiable in terms of face and morals. If you fan the queen again, things will change drastically, and it will be beneficial to the Qin family, but it will be negative to you."

It is very bad for Shen Hao. Because this matter is likely to turn into a "face issue" in the final analysis, and it is still the prince's face, in other words, it may become a "death blow".

But just these means?

"Is there any more?" Although Shen Hao frowned, his tone was still relaxed. He has seen all kinds of storms and waves, and it is not once or twice that he almost dies. Besides, he is not a noble man with no roots and no prosperity. His heels are still hard. It is not easy for the fifth prince to deal with him, let alone Xuan Qingwei is the emperor's personal soldier, and the prince doesn't have much face here.

Therefore, Shen Hao felt that if the Qin family wanted to take revenge, he would not have the only means. You must know that he and Liang Zi of the Qin family are more than a trivial matter some time ago. Qin Yurou is the eldest daughter of the Qin family, and her son and husband all died at the hands of Shen Hao. Isn't it too much to say "this hatred is irreconcilable"?

Moreover, Qin Yurou's feeling for Shen Hao was definitely not simple. Shen Hao should be wary of a woman who dared to go to Shen Hao single-handedly when her husband's family was cowardly and dared not stand out, asking for his release and promising huge profits. In addition, Shen Hao has always suspected that Qin Yurou was among the people who attacked the Black Flag camp in Licheng at night, but there was no evidence, and he hid in the imperial city and was difficult to capture.

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "There is no other news yet."

"Pay close attention to this matter. Whether it is the market or the target person, as long as the news related to this matter is not allowed to be missed, understand?"

"The subordinate understands, and I will arrange it immediately when I go back later. Also, do you think the sisters of the Xu family will give them something to do?"

Wang Jian didn't pay much attention to these methods of the Qin family. In his opinion, he was still a bit of a layman, and he also knew that his lord was not afraid of the fifth prince. Shen Hao also had nothing to do with the Fifth Prince.

However, Wang Jian, the sister of the Xu family, is relatively more concerned. These are the two most important pieces in the Blackwater Project today, and there will be rewards after lurking.

"No need. Let them get used to the life in the White Mansion first, and then we don't need to arrange any tasks for them. Hehe, the life of the third rank is probably not so easy to live, not to mention that the Bai family is full of resentment, maybe they will have to give them more How much trouble. Let's not bother them for now."

Seeing that Shen Hao said so, Wang Jian had no objection. The two chatted for a while about the Hengshun car and horse driving in the south.

According to Wang Jian, water transport is indeed being done in Liu Hengyi's current freight channel, but it has always been a weak point. The main reason is that the boat is too expensive, and the cost of daily maintenance is astonishingly high, and the focus of Hengshun Carriage and Horses is land before, and water transportation has only started in the past two years.

However, after the Hengshun Carriage and Horse Company takes over the "Jinghong Carriage and Horse Company" in the south, it plans to vigorously develop water transportation. Because it is the most convenient and time-saving to transport goods to the south through the Baijiang waterway.

In addition, on the Jingdong side, the transportation capacity of Ruoshui and Xiahe River basins is mainly divided up by which vehicles and horses. Liu Hengyi is not clear about this aspect for the time being, and he has never paid attention to it before. However, according to Wang Jian, Liu Hengyi's reaction was "Hearing about the mission, he was extremely active, and even asked if he could make contributions." It can be seen that Liu Hengyi has adapted to the new identity and found the benefits of the new identity.

Who wants to be a businessman for generations? Being a lord is the dream of merchants big and small. Now that Xuan Qingwei's identity is the foundation, Liu Hengyi also wants to give it a try.

However, even if you inquire about Jingdong's affairs through the channels of horses and horses, you can't know it immediately, it will take time. Wang Jian received a reply from Liu Hengyi saying that he would try his best to find out the situation of the weak water and the waters of the Xia River in the middle of this month.

"Let Liu Hengyi hurry up with the investigation of Ruoshui and Xiahe. Besides, can the coachmen you trained before be used now?"

"My lord, don't worry, the training is almost done. After the Jinghong Carriage and Horse Co., Ltd. is incorporated, it will be filled to the south as soon as possible." Shen Hao didn't need to finish, Wang Jian had already guessed the use of his lord for these coachmen. . Send them to the south, and try to penetrate into the important areas of the southern frontier army as much as possible.

Sure enough, Shen Hao nodded and directly brought the topic to Nanmian: "Nanmian is probably about to come to an end. No matter whether it is a fight or a draw, you have to take the opportunity to explore the tentacles of Heishui. Once the fight starts, we can supplement Xuan Qingwei's presence." The poor source of information in the army. If you don’t fight, you can continue to arrange, and the south will definitely not be peaceful in the future.”

Wang Jian was stunned: "Don't fight? My lord, there is no such possibility, right? Didn't Zuo Yuliang's two vanguard battalions have fought against the barbarian wolf cavalry before? How can they say no if they are still confronting each other?" Do you want to fight or not?"

"What's the rush? I'm just talking about a possibility. The army wants to fight, but do you think the civil servants want to fight too?"
