Chapter 275 Meeting Between the Two Parties
Qin Sheng led his men down the mountain. He was not in a hurry to deal with Liufu Village, which was separated by a mountain. Let them roam free for a while and wait until they grow fatter. Anyway, there are still fifteen pheasants to be caught in Liaodong County, so let them relax their vigilance for the time being.
In addition, Qin Sheng knew very well that if he went too far, he would cause trouble for his father-in-law and daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law was busy enough, and causing trouble for her would squeeze the time she gave him. He was not stupid, and this was not worth it no matter how he thought about it.
Besides, they had uprooted the Skull Village and could call it a day.
Every time he went out to suppress bandits, his wife would tell him to take care of himself. So he had to do his work and rest when he should, otherwise he would be too tired and his wife would feel bad.
After they escorted the bandits' property down the mountain and completed the handover with the people from the county governor's office, Zhou Da suggested, "Third Master, Sixth Master, it's still early, do you want to go for a drink together?"
At this time, Qin Sheng was thinking about his own thoughts. He had eliminated three bandit dens...
When he heard about the invitation to drink, he directly refused, "No, no, I want to go home."
It would take at least an hour to drink, which means that he would have to wait another hour before he could see his wife. How could this be possible? Wouldn't this be a waste of time? He was determined not to go.
"Let's go." After Qin Sheng said goodbye to them, he got on his horse and went home.
Zhou Da and Ma Jin whispered to each other, "Have you noticed that Sixth Master is the most active to go home every time he finishes work."
Qin Zhao rolled his eyes. He had never seen such a home-loving man, no, he had never seen such a man who was obsessed with his wife. If he has the opportunity to go to war in the future, I wonder if this guy can sleep without his wife?
This time Qin Sheng came back early. Qin's mother, Cai, Nie Yunniang, Su and others were still awake, but the latter few went back to their rooms to coax the children.
Qin Sheng got off the horse and gave the reins to the guard, "Mom, I'm back."
Qin's mother saw him, "Ah Sheng is back, are you hungry?"
"Mom, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm dirty, go wash first." As he said that, Qin Sheng carried two buckets of water and went to the bathroom like a gust of wind.
Qin's mother opened her mouth and was about to tell him that his wife had gone out for something and was not at home. But she thought about it and said forget it, just wash it, loving cleanliness is also a good thing.
After Qin Sheng washed himself clean and cool with two large buckets of cold water, he went back to the room.
But after a while, he came out, "Mom, where is Lili?"
It was a bolt from the blue. At this time, his wife was not at home.
"Your wife took people to Xue's house and said she wanted to meet an important person."
"How many people did she take?"
Mother Qin said three or four guards, "Ali has been out for a long time, she should be back soon."
"Mom, these people are not as good as me. Lili is still out so late, I'm a little worried, I'll go and see her." After saying that, she was blown away like a gust of wind.
Mother Qin thought, you have wanted to go to your wife for a long time, why bother to step on the guards?
"It's up to you, go if you want." Forget it, anyway, the youngest son is full of energy, let him do whatever he wants.
Lv Songli was indeed at Xue's house at this time.
When Xue Xu told her that his good friend Ji Wuyin was worried about his safety because of the critical situation in Liaodong County before, he came north to visit him, and the other party also brought a batch of food.
But because Ji Wuyin was in a hurry to leave, the food was loaded and set off later, but the food was transported by water and is still floating on the water.
Xue Xu said that Ji Wuyin wanted to meet her and discuss the deal with her in person.
Lu Songli: Want to meet her? This person must be met!
Because of the war, the price of grain in Liaodong County remained high. Lu Songli was worried about how to stabilize the price of grain. It was really a blessing in disguise.
Moreover, Ji Wuyin was a famous super-large merchant in the south, so it was necessary to meet him.
Attracting investment, right now.
For Ji Wuyin, he was surprised when he first met Lu Songli.
He didn't expect that such a beautiful woman with a fresh and elegant temperament could have such thundering means. It's really a sign of a person's appearance.
Lu Songli's appearance and temperament are too deceptive.
But he thought about it and felt that this was the Lu Songli in his friend's mouth.
A truly smart person is wise but foolish. If a person is suspected of having a purpose as long as he approaches, it can only arouse the opponent's defense. The most terrible enemy is always the one you are least prepared for. Killing someone from behind can be fatal.
Lu Songli smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, good day, welcome to Liaodong County. My father should have hosted a banquet to welcome Mr. Ji, but he has just taken over the position of county governor and is extremely busy. I can only entertain Mr. Ji on his behalf. If the hospitality is not good enough, please forgive me."
Ji Wuyin knew that Lord Lu was inspecting the counties of Liaodong County recently and was not in Houcheng.
"Mrs. Qin Liu is polite."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they took their seats.
Then the servants began to serve wine and food.
As a middleman, Xue Xu naturally had to start a conversation.
"Come to think of it, didn't I write to you to introduce Xie Zhan, the head of the Xie family who was exiled to the south, to the Chen family? How are the Xie and Zhao families doing in the south now?"
"After Xie Zhan married Chen Baozhu, Chen Jiaye trusted him very much. The Xie family has done well with the help of Xie Zhan, and Xie Zhan has brought up some young talents in the family. The Zhao family is not doing well, and currently needs to rely on the Xie family."
When Lu Songli heard him mention Xie Zhan, he listened very seriously.
Xie Zhan is definitely not an ordinary person, and he should be paid attention to. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Although Ji Wuyin was chatting with his friend, he noticed this out of the corner of his eye.
When talking about the Xie and Zhao families, it is inevitable to mention the fact that the two families lost members before and after the exile.
At this time, Ji Wuyin had learned from his friend that the Qin family, which was also exiled to Pingzhou, did not lose any members. You know, more than two-thirds of the Qin family were old, weak, women and children.
In contrast, the Xie and Zhao families were too tragic.
From this, we can see the means of Lu Songli, the sixth wife of Qin.
When mentioning this topic, Ji Wuyin also said jokingly, "When the Xie and Zhao families arrived in the south, I don’t know whether it was because of the unfamiliar climate or the hard work of serving, some people still died one after another, including young and strong people in the family."
The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it seriously.
When Lu Songli heard this, he felt something in his heart, and this situation was a bit wrong.
Because of their instigation, Xie Zhan was noticed by the Chen family early on.
Before this, so many people in the Xie family died. She didn't believe that Xie Zhan was not alert and concerned. Under the premise of attaching importance to the lives of the clan members, there were still deaths. It was okay if the dead were elderly people or young children, but it was not right if the dead were young and strong.
Lu Songli asked, "Did the young and strong of the Xie family die around the time when Xie Zhan and the Chen family married?"
Ji Wuyin recalled and said, "It seems so."
Lu Songli nodded. Now she just needed to know whether the deceased young and strong were the core members and mainstays of the Xie family? She thought, let someone check it later.
