Chapter 447 Take Action

Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Governor's Mansion

"Here, my daughter, the plan is ready, can you help me check if there are any omissions?"

Lv Desheng looked very pleased.

Lv Songli saw it and understood that he was not asking her to check for errors, but to praise him.

"Dad, your plan is good, Xie Zhan is going to be tricked to death by you."

Hearing this, Lu Desheng smiled and his beard quivered.

"It's a pity that I don't know how much money Xie Zhan and others made this time, otherwise the plan would be more effective."

Lv Songli said, "What's the difficulty?"

She knew in her heart that with Song Mo's suspicion, sometimes knowing too much was not necessarily good. But they couldn't tell Xie Zhan about this, they could let him know from others.

"Do you have a way to know this?"

Lv Songli nodded, she planned to let Mr. Xue write a letter to Gu Huaisheng to ask about this matter.

For Gu Huaisheng and Gu's family, she felt that she could still dig into their corners, and she should give them opportunities, and she couldn't kill them with one blow.

The opportunity has been given, and it's up to him to decide what to do. The choice is his.

Of course, they can't rely on Gu Huaisheng alone, and they have to send someone else to investigate, so they can do it on two fronts.

"We need to find out this as soon as possible, and then pass the news to Chang'an, and it shouldn't take too long." Lu Desheng served the previous emperor, so he naturally understood that the emperor was the most suspicious creature, and he already knew how to make the plan more effective.

Lu Songli nodded.

Then, Ji Wuyin and Xue Xu were invited to the governor's mansion by Lu Songli again.

Later, several pigeons fluttered into the sky in the twilight.

That day, after politely sending Qi Shaoguang and others away in the morning, Ji Guangkuan, who had just closed his shop after settling accounts in the afternoon, had another pigeon come to his house.

He finished reading the letter, and then took advantage of the night to find a familiar beggar to help him and bought three or four steamed buns for him.

After sending the little beggar away, Ji Guangkuan did not go home, but asked someone to tell his wife that he would be back later, and then he went to Qi's house with his confidant.

Although Qi Shaoguang redeemed the goods that he had pledged to Ji's bank today, he was still in a bad mood. In just over two months, his assets shrank by 80% to 90%. When he thought of this, he even lost his appetite for food.

But compared with other people, he was better off for someone like him who had pledged his goods to Ji's bank before. At least he had 10% or 20% of his family property left. For others, it was not an exaggeration to say that they had lost everything.

Thinking of this, his mood seemed to be better.

Then Qi Shaoguang did not expect that he could see Ji Guangkuan so late at night.

He directly invited him to the study. The other party came to the door so late, there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, after a few sips of tea, Ji Guangkuan spoke up, "Boss Qi, overnight, your family property was easily transferred to other people's hands. Are you willing to accept this?"

"What if I am not willing?" Qi Shaoguang knew very well that the background of the person who set up the game was unfathomable, and it was not something that merchants like them could shake.

"There is more than one person who set up the game. Some of them cannot be moved, but some can be moved. They are not a monolithic entity."

Ji Guangkuan's words made Qi Shaoguang fall into thought.

He then said, "Boss Qi probably doesn't know who is the leader of this game?"

"Who is it?" He only knew that Qiao Xitong, a big timber merchant in Bingzhou, Hu Jiangyi, a porcelain merchant in Xin'an, and Gu Huaisheng, the young master of a big family in the south, were all beneficiaries. Could it be that the leader was not one of them?

"Xie Zhan, the governor of Lingnan."

"Him?"

No wonder he was confused. Xie Zhan was hidden behind the scenes from beginning to end and never showed up.

"If you are unwilling, I have a way to let you vent your anger and let the other party get the retribution they deserve."

"How to do it?"

"It depends on whether you dare to risk it."

"What a joke, it has come to this point, what should I not dare to do?" After years of hard work, it was destroyed in an instant. If you say that you have no resentment in your heart, it would be a lie.

"Go to Chang'an and sue Xie Zhan, do you dare?"

Qi Shaoguang did not answer directly, but asked, "Why do you want to help me?"

"I am not afraid to tell you the truth. My uncle's nobleman has an old grudge with the Lingnan governor." Ji Guangkuan told him clearly that they just wanted to use him.

Qi Shaoguang understood, "Chang'an sued Xie Zhan, I dare. But-" He had some concerns.

"This time it is only against the Lingnan governor, not involving others."

"Okay, I promise you." Qi Shaoguang agreed readily, use it if you want to, as long as you can vent your anger! At least they said it clearly.

Ji Guangkuan told him, "Then you should set off as early as possible tomorrow. When you arrive in Chang'an, go directly to..."

Qi Shaoguang listened carefully.

After the matter was done, Ji Guangkuan said goodbye.

Qi Shaoguang personally sent him out.

Before leaving, Ji Guangkuan finally said to Qi Shaoguang, "You don't have to worry. There should be no life-threatening situation on this trip to Chang'an. But if there is an emergency, your wife and children, the nobles promised to take care of them until your son is sixteen years old."

After sending Ji Guangkuan away, Qi Shaoguang felt mixed emotions.

At this time, the same scene was also staged in Gusu City, and the Jinshang, which suffered the most losses, was also secretly approached.

On the other side, Gu Huaisheng was still very surprised to receive the letter. After thinking about it all night, he wrote a number on the letter and sent the letter to the designated location.

Gu Huaisheng couldn't explain what he was thinking, but he felt that the Lu family would know this data if they wanted to, and his move would not have much impact.

For Xie Zhan, the matter in Shu has come to an end. He has arranged for someone to send the portion of money that should be presented to the emperor to Chang'an, and he is also preparing to set off for the South.

Xie Zhan made such arrangements, thinking that Song Mo had taken care of it. At this time, he did not know that a conspiracy specifically targeting him was already underway.

Xie Zhan had just returned to the South when Xie Wei came to his door that night.

"You are not in the South recently?"

"Yes."

Xie Wei pouted, "I have spent all the money here, you can give me some more."

Xie Zhan said seriously, "It's okay to give you money, but before that, I have to ask you a question."

As the leader of this bureau, after giving Song Mo 6 million, he took 4 million directly, and the remaining 8 million was divided into 2 million each by Gu Huaisheng, Qiao Xi and others. He plans to use this money to develop the South well, and most importantly, to strengthen his own strength.

"What?"

"Can't you see the trick in the war between the North and Wuhuan that ended this year?" Xie Zhan asked him.

"I saw it, but why should I tell you?" Xie Wei thought, what does the war between the Xie family in the south and the north have to do with them?

"Besides, don't you know it even if I don't tell you?"

Xie Zhan had a headache. His brother was really a rebellious person.
