Raid

Chapter 166
Before leaving Zhenyuan, Gu Lingxu took Qin Qinghong to meet Li Shengxi and Rong Zhi.

Hearing what Qin Qinghong said, both of them were startled.Rong Zhi was surprised by the boldness of the Zhou family, while Li Shengxi was surprised by the length of time.

Did the smuggling start ten years ago?If it had started ten years ago, how long has it been going on for the sale of weapons?In the past ten years, how many people have smuggled with the Zhou family?
Zhou's smuggling will definitely not only smuggle weapons.

When Li Shengxi thought of this, his eyes became darker and darker. Ten years ago, the Mu family stood in the court, and the royal family's control over the border town was far worse than it is now.It is still like this now, who knows how rampant it was back then.

How many people have lost their lives due to smuggling in the ten years of contact?If it were ordinary people, Li Shengxi would not be so angry.The dynasty is decaying, and it is helpless for the people to take risks.

But the Zhou family has never been short of wealth. Even now, in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Zhou family's wealth can definitely rank among the top five.

Don't get hungry.

"Madam Qin, please explain in detail." Rong Zhi said seriously.

Qin Qinghong then told several people what he said with Gu Lingxu last night.

"When your father patrolled the border, besides the officials who came and went, do you know who he saw more?" Li Shengxi asked.

Qin Qinghong shook his head, "Times have changed, I was young at the time, so I can't remember."

Li Shengxi's eyes were somewhat disappointed, but it was not surprising. After all, Qin Qinghong was only ten years old, so how much could he remember?
"Actually, I don't remember other people. If I have to say that I have seen a lot, my uncle has a lot of contacts. My uncle is from Anxia County." Qin Qinghong continued to add.

"What is the name of Mrs. Qin's uncle, and what does she do for a living, do you still recognize her now?" Rong Zhi asked.

Qin Qinghong shook his head, "I don't know. My uncle is often in Anxia, ​​and my family used to live in Wangjing. If it wasn't for my father to patrol the border on behalf of the emperor, I wouldn't have much contact with him."

She can remember that there is still this uncle because his uncle often brought some gadgets to her and Miaoduan when he went in and out of Qin's house.Where can I remember his name?

"Are you suspicious of him?"

"We suspect everyone." Li Shengxi replied.

For Li Shengxi, who was born in the royal family, relatives are just one more blood relationship than others. In the royal family, it is very normal for relatives to kill each other. Even affectionate people can backstab you, let alone There is no affection.

Faced with such an answer, Qin Qinghong was not angry, "You are right to say so."

Her father was able to find evidence of the Zhou family in the Zhou family's territory, and the accident happened only on the way back to Beijing.What does this mean? This means that before his father left Jiangbei, the Zhou family didn't notice it.

One must know that the Zhou family of ten years ago can be compared with the Zhou family of today?The Zhou clan was the most powerful back then, if they had noticed early in the morning, they would have wiped out her entire family in Jiangbei.Why bother to start on the way home, so that two more fish slipped through the net.

This shows that it is very likely that someone betrayed her father.It may not be uncle, but uncle is the only suspect right now.

And even if there were others, it was uncle who was the most suspect, he was a relative, he could often visit the gate of the mansion without letting his father guard against him.

"What's the surname of Lady Qin's uncle?" Rong Zhi asked again.

"The surname is He." Qin Qinghong did remember this one, and she added: "That is my mother's younger brother. He seemed to have been crowned not long ago and had not married a wife yet."

Rong Zhi thanked him with a smile, "Ms. Qin knows how much you know about your uncle, can you write it all down?"

Qin Qinghong glanced at Gu Lingxu, then nodded.

After sending the two away, Rong Zhi went to ask Meng Wan and Liu Jin to help check the household registration, and found out the candidate who was Qin Qinghong's uncle.

Although times have changed, He Xiaojiu seeks skin from a tiger, and An Xia suffers a catastrophe, but there is always one thing.

But now is not the time to be busy with this. The important thing now is to seize power from Zhou Shuzhan.

Not long after Zhou Shuzhan sent Gu Lingxu out of the city, he summoned the staff in the mansion. Gu Lingxu had already left, so it was easy for him to kill Rongzhi.

After finalizing the plan, it was already late at night, and Zhou Shuzhan was about to fall asleep, but the servants of the mansion ran in in a panic.

"Fu Yin... Fu Yin..." The servant ran in in a hurry, tripped over the threshold, and nearly fell.

"What does it look like to be in a panic? What happened?" Zhou Shuzhan put on his clothes and reprimanded his servants displeasedly.

"Fu Yin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng encountered bandits on his way to Tongjiang."

"The Marquis of Xiangcheng has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has a heavy army. Besides, Tongjiang is not far from Xichang. Even if you encounter bandits, what big things can happen, is it worth your panic?"

The servant shook his head, "Something really happened. Now the Marquis of Xiangcheng is deeply trapped in the bandit's den, and he hasn't come out for a long time. It seems that he was captured by bandits."

"How could this be?" Zhou Shuzhan frowned, "The Xichang army has always been elite, so why can't they deal with this group of thieves?"

"I don't know, but I just heard people say that for some reason, the Xichang army was extremely tired after leaving Zhenyuan, and they rested several times along the way. I don't know if it's because of this."

"Tired?" Zhou Shuzhan frowned, and he suddenly remembered that when he was seeing off the Xichang army, his servants had sent someone to deliver water to the Xichang army. Although he had never asked him about this matter, Zhou's servants have always been prudent and considerate. The above never let the master worry, and it is common for them to take care of the Zhou family's favor...

This is nothing unusual, but now that things have happened, he can't help but ask, "Who is the servant who sent someone to deliver water to the Xichang Army today? Bring him here."

The servant nodded and ran out in a panic.At the same time, Zhou Shuzhan also quickly got dressed.

When the servant came back, he had an expression uglier than crying, "Fu Yin, that person is gone."

Zhou Shuzhan immediately understood what happened, and he couldn't help saying angrily: "Bastard, what is missing, how can a good person disappear? You go, the whole city will issue a sea arrest document, and you must catch this person."

The Zhou family has a big business, and it is impossible for everyone to notice it.It's just that I didn't expect that such a disclosure would be made without noticing for a while.

As for who is behind the scenes, he can't think of anyone other than Rong Zhi in this town.

Thinking of Rong Zhi, Zhou Shuzhan gritted his teeth, and he smiled coldly. He discussed with his staff all night how to deal with Rong Zhi, but now Rong Zhi came to his door.

"There are thieves colluding with bandits and murdering the Marquis of Xiangcheng secretly. I have ordered that the whole city be under martial law. If anyone makes a move, they will be killed, including officials." Zhou Shuzhan ordered coldly.

His last words were obviously running towards Rong Zhi.
