Raid

Chapter 122 Deception
After dealing with Zhao Changtong, Liu Jin returned to the cabin.

"Where are his confidants?"

"It's already been resolved. When we get to the next ferry, we will burn it to ensure that no one is alive and no corpse is dead."

Li Shengxi smiled slightly, "That's good."

"Where are you going to use the money? If you speed up the process, it will not be difficult to return to the Southern Jin Dynasty before Lingxun." The boatman has long been replaced by the inner guard, and everyone is a master.

Li Shengxi put down the teacup, she shook her head, "I can't go back now, it's too desperate."

This is risking the life of the inner guard, which is not necessary now.

"Then what do you mean?"

Li Shengxi looked at the water outside the window, "I'm afraid there will be unrest in the south. Use this money to buy some food and medicinal materials."

It's not that she is unpredictable, but that Bei Qi has been busy with party disputes these years, so he is really not sad about the dam.

The dams are strengthened every year, and the imperial court allocates a lot of money every year, but some people know exactly where the money has gone.

This year is even worse. The imperial court dragged left and right. A few days ago, the leak of scientific examination questions broke out, and the limelight has long overshadowed the repair of the embankment.

I don't know if it's because the dams at the mouth of the river were newly built last year, so they think it doesn't matter if they don't reinforce them.

But as far as Northern Qi's level of dam repair is concerned, Li Shengxi is really worried.Moreover, if she remembered correctly, it seemed that the time when Emperor Yongping was alive was when these dikes were built.

At that time... Emperor Yongping chose eunuchs to build the dams in order to support the eunuchs in their struggle for power with the Zhou family.

If people from the Zhou family were in charge of building the dam, Li Shengxi might not be so worried. After all, the Zhou family has many people and foreign officials. of.

But the eunuchs are different. Most of the people in their hands are internal officials. In recent years, they have only won over a few foreign officials—it can even be said that these foreign officials got their positions by currying favor with the eunuchs. There are not many of them. There are real materials.

Although there is a Rongzhi, how many years does it take to get a Rongzhi?

Li Shengxi didn't want to see people die, but this didn't prevent her from making early preparations. Coincidentally, it could be regarded as accumulating merit for Zhao Changtong's dirty money, and in doing so, adding some prestige to the Southern Jin Dynasty.

The gains and losses of the world depend on the support of the people.

Zhao Changtong's disappearance didn't cause much disturbance, the only one who noticed it was perhaps Rong Zhi, but it didn't cause him much surprise either.

He committed such a big thing, Gu Lingxu presumptuously arrested people, maybe others don't know the inside story, but he must know that it is only natural for him to want to escape.

It's just that he didn't expect Zhao Changtong to have such a great ability to disappear without a trace, as if there was no such person in the world.

And what puzzled Rong Zhi was that Zhao Changtong only took a little gold and silver with him when he fled, and the property under his name remained unchanged.But suddenly he understood, Zhao Changtong had been smuggling for so many years, how could he not have some shady property?
And probably the number is quite a lot, but since they fled with a lot of money, how could they disappear without a trace?
Rong Zhi quickly found Zhao Changtong's wife. Zhao Changtong didn't run away with his wife and children, but before he ran away, he remembered that he had divorced his wife and died. Rong Zhi didn't know whether to say he was affectionate or heartless. It was probably heartless. The last bit of conscience of a man.

He learned from Zhao Changtong's wife and children that Liang Yin had come to make trouble, and during this time Zhao Changtong often visited Qingquan Villa, and according to his wife, Zhao Changtong's divorce may have something to do with Liang Yin.

Even though Rong Zhi was unwilling, he still had to go to the gate of Qingquan Villa, but what he didn't expect was that Liang Yin would look for him before he went to Qingquan Villa.

The beautiful woman in Chinese clothes was crying with pear blossoms in the rain in front of him, just like crabapples in the autumn rain, Rong Zhi's eyes were slightly cold.

"The concubine never thought that he was so heartless. A few days ago, he said that he wanted to find a concubine to do business, and because the business was difficult in the world, he offered a high price, so he ignored the previous suspicions and made contact with him. Who knew that he would hide such evil intentions and pull The concubine boarded his thief boat. A few days ago, when the Marquis of Xiangcheng crossed the mountains to arrest his people, the concubine felt that something was wrong. She went to his door and made a fuss. He cried and knelt, and He said that he had nothing to do with him. In order to deceive his concubine, he even said some nonsense, really divorced his wife and abandoned his son, and forced his concubine into such a villain. Believe him a bit. Unexpectedly, the concubine wanted to find him a few days ago, but found someone else went to the empty building. Now that I think about it, what he did was to keep the concubine. Son. He is considerate, but he has troubled the concubine in vain."

Speaking of the latter, she was ashamed and sobbing, just like a young woman who was cheated by a man.

Looking at Liang Yin's appearance, Rong Zhi didn't know whether to believe her or not. Every word she said was sincere and reasonable.

"Until now, I still don't know what was in his batch of goods, but looking at the way he abandoned his wife and son and fled, I probably know that it is something that affects the whole family. The whole family is full of concubines, but even so , I don’t want to be implicated to death by others. If I do evil by myself, even if I die, I am afraid, but I am willing.”

She raised her eyes and looked at Rong Zhi with tears in her eyes, "I know that I have no face with Mr. Lang, but I have few contacts in Beijing, and the only person I can think of is Mr. Mr. This may be a disaster for the whole family, but The concubine was also deceived by others, and I dare not expect to get out of my life completely. In such an innocent disaster, it is already an extravagant hope to get out of my body. I only hope to save my life. I also hope that the Lord will save my life."

After finishing speaking, he was about to kneel down in front of Rong Zhi, Rong Zhi was taken aback, he got up quickly, and signaled the surrounding maidservants to help Li Shengxi up, "Third Lady, you are so disgusted."

Li Shengxi looked at Rong Zhi with tears in his eyes.

Rong Zhi couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Rong didn't want to stand by and watch, it's just that Rong couldn't protect himself so far, so how could he save his wife? Besides, the Marquis of Xiangcheng went all over the mountains to take people, how could he do it for a little girl?" Nine times out of ten, the small merchants are for the adoptive father, and since he can implicate the adoptive father, it will be difficult for Rong to be alone."

"Could it be...is there really no other way..." Li Shengxi burst into tears again.

Rong Zhi couldn't bear it, but he couldn't say any more words of comfort. In fact, Liang Yin was not involved in this matter. As long as Liang Yin is really clean, she will be safe and sound. At most, she can spend some money to buy it back.Liang Yin was not short of money.

It's just that he can't persuade.He knew what Liang Yin was thinking, but he didn't care for Liang Yin, so naturally he couldn't give her too much warmth.In fact, if he didn't have doubts about Liang Yin, he wouldn't even want to see Liang Yin today.

Of course Li Shengxi knows what Rong Zhi is thinking. The purpose of her visit is to dispel Rong Zhi's suspicion. Liang Yin's identity involves a lot. If she wants to abandon her, she has to do it bit by bit. , What kind of moth did Rong Zhi give her.
