After marrying Prince Mobei, the beauties were crazily criticized and favored crazily

Zhou Xuening's eyes flickered slightly, "Businessmen always have some special news channels, but these news may be true or false, and sometimes it is unavoidable to rely on luck."

"People cannot stand without trust, especially if they are merchants. The princess can ask people to inquire at will. Ever since a certain person took charge of the Zhou family's behavior style, he knew that there was never a time when a certain contract was broken. Those few days The cargo on the merchant ship is an agreement, and the Zhou family's fleet must deliver it."

"What's more, the two armies have been fighting against each other for many days, and the war has not yet been triggered. It seems that Zhu Fang and Uncle Ji just want to take advantage of the disaster in many places in Dongqi, and have no determination to go to war."

Luo Xiyao chuckled, "Patriarch Zhou is really powerful, I don't know... the Patriarch has eyes and ears in the court!"

Zhou Xuening quickly waved his hands, "I dare not, I dare not say that."

He Lan Linzhang took a sip of tea, he didn't change his title like Luo Xiyao, but just like when he was on the boat, "Mr. Zhou, you are truly a hero who can bear the praise of the princess."

As he said that, he paused slightly, "However, it is really bold. If there are pursuers going down the river, the warriors on the boat will definitely lose, and I'm afraid it will cost them money."

Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows, "Integrity is important, and interests are also important. The owner of the Zhou family is a merchant, not a Bodhisattva. For such an important cargo, besides the Zhou family members, he also invited outside martial artists on board. The acquaintance of the Patriarch, or..."

Zhou Xuening said seriously: "The stewards and boatmen on the Zhou family's merchant ship are all members of the Zhou family. Some of the martial artists are from their own, and some are hired from the bodyguard bureau. For this delivery, XX did hire two more teams of martial arts, and the head of the bodyguard is A certain acquaintance, as for the martial artist..."

He shook his head, "I don't know everyone."

Helan Linzhang blew on the tea leaves floating on the tea water, and said: "Where is the manager? You must recognize those martial artists, right? The Zhou family has a big business, and it is impossible to have only one ship for each delivery, even if the waterway is faster than a horse-drawn carriage." , and it will take a few days, so the acquaintances are the most pleasant on a ship."

"Someone will call the steward."

"Hard."

Steward came quickly.

Zhou Xuening said that this is an old man from the Zhou family, the whole family is in the Zhou family, there will never be any questions, so let Luo Xiyao feel free to ask.

Luo Xiyao didn't start with the martial artist, but asked the steward what he did on the ship on weekdays. After learning that the steward was meticulous, she asked who found the fourth lady and when she found it. What kind of dress, what hair accessories did she wear, when she found Si Niangzi, in what position did Si Niangzi lie by the river...

After checking with the scriptures and finding no problems, she asked about the martial artist, "May I ask if the martial artist on the ship had a face? What about the boatman? Is there anyone on board who behaved differently than usual?"

"Different from usual?"

"On weekdays, I'm lazy but suddenly I'm industrious. I usually eat meat and suddenly I'm a vegetarian. When I'm standing, I like to lean on my left leg and now I'm leaning on my right leg... Think about it carefully, I'm not in a hurry."

The steward thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "The martial artists are all acquainted, I didn't see any new faces on the boat this time, but it's different from usual...Gu Daquan has lost some weight, and his spirit has improved a lot. He said that his family had bought him some tonic, and he would ask about it when he got home, and show everyone the prescription. Then there is Wang Fugui..."

"What's wrong with Wang Fugui?" Zhou Xuening, the boatman, knew it. He was very reckless. When he encountered water bandits before, in order to protect the goods on board, he was injured by water bandits and walked with a limp. I gave 20 taels of silver as a reward.

The steward pondered and said, "If you want to say something is wrong, it's just...a feeling that there is something different about him."

As he spoke, he gave Zhou Xuening an apologetic look.

Zhou Xuening asked: "Where are Niu Daquan and Wang Fugui now? But they followed the boat back to Jiangnan?"

"No." The steward said, "After receiving the letter from the Patriarch, the subordinates thought that the Patriarch might have other arrangements, so they left everyone in Yanhui County."

Helan Linzhang took a deep look at Zhou Xuening, then frowned and drank tea.

It was impossible for Zhou Xuening to deliver goods to Yanhui County twice in a short period of half a month. He thought that the ship that came to manage came to Yanhui County to meet Zhou Xuening after receiving Zhou Xuening's news.

And Zhou Xuening's place to employ people is naturally to go to Mobei to send off his family's convoy, and he wants to go to Mobei.

Zhou Xuening coughed lightly and said, "How far do they live? How long will it take to bring them here?"

"Half an hour."

Zhou Xuening saw that Helan Linzhang and Luo Xiyao did not move, so he immediately asked the steward to find someone.

Niu Daquan came, but Wang Fugui died in the room.

He Lan Linzhang and Luo Xiyao looked at each other, "Go and see."

Zhou Xuening naturally also followed.

The Zhou family had a lot of boatmen, and it was always inconvenient to travel to and from the inn, so Zhou Xuening bought a few small yards for the boatmen to live and eat in addition to buying a house in Yanhui County.

"The alley is too narrow for a carriage to enter, please get off the carriage here." The steward said.

Zhou Xuening was afraid that they would be overwhelmed, so he immediately walked ahead. If there was an accident, he would not be able to escape.

After entering the courtyard, I saw many people outside Wang Fugui's hut. Some said they had reported to the officials, and the messenger was working inside with him.

Zhou Xuening knew the style of people in Yanhui county yamen, if he was himself, he would definitely wait outside, but...

"Go in and take a look?" Luo Xiyao raised her leg and walked in.

Seeing that Zhou Xuening didn't speak, the steward knew that these two were distinguished, so he lowered his head and pretended to be dumb.

"The yamen handles cases, and idlers are not allowed to enter." The officer with the handle of a knife stopped in front of Luo Xiyao.

He Lan Linzhang came to her side, took out his waist card, and said, "This king is the Seven Kings of Mobei, and this is my concubine."

The official frowned, but did not retreat.

He Lan Linzhang said: "This king has something to ask this person, and if he wants someone to call him, he will die."

Guancha's eyebrows twitched, and he subconsciously felt that this matter was not simple. If it was really related to Mobei, it would definitely disturb the peace of Yanhui County.

"I've met Prince Helan and Concubine Wang." After the official sent a salute, he said, "Wu Zuo is examining the corpse, and the investigation of the yamen involves a lot of affairs, so I invite you two..."

Luo Xiyao walked in without touching anything in the room, "We know the rules, I just want to see Wang Fugui's body and know the cause of his death."

Wu Zuo didn't look back, and still lowered his head to examine the corpse. Half an hour later, Wu Zuo raised his body and asked with a white cloth, "If the prince and princess don't see Wang Fugui, the villain will cover the corpse with a white cloth."

"Wait a moment." Luo Xiyao asked the steward to come in to confirm the identity of the corpse.

There are no fewer bandits by water than by land, so stewards are naturally not afraid of corpses.

He frowned for a moment and said, "It's Wang Fugui."

Luo Xiyao looked at Wu Zuo and asked, "Is his face real? When did he die? How did he die? Can it be confirmed?"
