The old lady looked at her grandson carefully and said, "Although he has lost weight, his complexion is very good. He seems to be different from before..."

She pulled her grandson to look at him in confusion. She felt that her grandson had changed, but she didn't know where he had changed.

Qiu Wangzhi made a rare joke, "My grandson must be more handsome."

It made the old and the young very happy.

Qiu Yuhan hugged her father's thigh and smiled, "Daddy has always been handsome."

After the little girl had been intimate with Qiu Wangzhi for a while, she and Feifei were sent outside to play.

The old lady asked, "Is everything done?"

Qiu Wangzhi's face became serious and he said softly, "Eastern Fujian is even more chaotic than it seems, especially the Ningqing County area, where pirates, spies, and fugitives are mixed. The officials there also colluded with the pirates, making a lot of money for the country." , the people were miserable.

"Shen Mou is very cunning and obtained several pieces of criminal evidence, but not the evidence of Japanese treason. He only heard about it. Behind him, King Qi and Concubine Li were hidden deeper, and they were not caught interacting with Shen Mou..."

The old lady snorted coldly, "Those people do not hesitate to harm the interests of the court and the people for their own selfish desires... I hope the emperor can take strict measures."

Qiu Wangzhi shook his head and said, "Although the emperor is angry, judging from his intentions, he has to change the naval generals, so he is not willing to start Shen's plan immediately to prevent chaos in Fujian. If the plan is done well, Lord Donghou may be entrusted with it. An important task. Even if he goes, we must prevent Shen Mou from undermining his salary and stabbing him in the back..."

The old lady said, "I hope his wishes will come true. Not only will it come true for him, but it will also save the people from the fire and water."

Qiu Wangzhi nodded.

He was out on business at that time, so he took Dong Yihe's hint and waited for Wang Lei at that place.

When he reported it to the emperor, he said that he overheard it accidentally on the way and rushed to Fujian to investigate the situation due to illness...

Mrs. Qiu took out another deed, which was for a commercial firm in Guangzhou.

"He sent it with all the excuses. He wants to make a clean break with the Dali Dynasty, and everything that needs to be dealt with has been dealt with. This is good for Dali, for them, and for us..."

Qiu Wangzhi nodded, "He is a hero, with great talents and great strategies, and he hates the late emperor. It would not be a good thing if he stays in Dali all the time."

It was only last year that Qiu Wangzhi learned that his grandparents were secretly helping the Dong family. If it breaks out, even if no one's head falls to the ground, the Sacred Heart will be lost.

Fortunately, they are about to escape...

The sun was setting, the dusty roads on the outskirts of Beijing were flying, and a fast horse was galloping past.

After entering the capital, the horses slowed down and went directly to the study outside Fengenhou's mansion.

It was Wang Lei who left Beijing a few months ago.

The boy brought the copper basin and Wang Lei cleaned his face and hands.

Another waiter poured tea and placed two plates of snacks.

After the boy retreated, Wang Lei clasped his fists and said, "General..."

Dong Yihe pushed the tea bowl and snacks towards him, "Drink some water and eat something before we talk." Wang Lei was thirsty, so he took a few sips of tea and said, "I didn't see the young master, but I saw Wang Li. . They are ready, and the young master will personally go to Nanbei Island in Mingzhou Prefecture to pick up his wife in April."

Then he shook his head regretfully, "Alas, we can't follow the general and the young master to conquer the world like my fourth brother."

Dong Yihe reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your family has suffered a lot with me, especially Uncle Wang. It's time to relax and enjoy the blessings. As long as Ping'er doesn't make any big deviations, you can still guarantee a lifetime of prosperity and wealth." ...How is the situation in Fujian?"

Wang Lei said, "When we found Qin Jin, his captors had not yet passed. He was very angry after hearing what we said, saying that someone deliberately framed the Japanese pirates for letting them ashore. Most of the crimes were untrue, and two of them were true, but the incidents were not serious... …

"The Qin and Jin Dynasties also had something to do with Shen Mou and several other officials. Although it cannot prove that Shen Mou was culpable, it can prove that he accepted large bribes from smugglers.

"More than that, when Shen Mou was the magistrate of Minzhou Prefecture ten years ago, he was suspected of killing people in Dali and pretending to be Japanese pirates. However, there was no human or material evidence for this most critical thing, and it was a long time ago... If it is true, he is the real sinner.

"We met Qiu Wangzhi on the way back, and he followed us to Eastern Fujian for verification. Except for Shen Mou colluding with Japanese pirates, the rest are true..."

Dong Yihe nodded with satisfaction. This kid is like his grandfather, more capable and smarter than Wang Qing. Leave him to Ping'er, and you can rest assured.

Considering that Sun Linzhang was assassinated ten years ago, he was probably silenced because he knew about that incident...

Dong Yihe scolded, "Shen Mou is more of a bastard than I thought before. He actually killed people in order to take credit. We revealed the news to Qin Jin in advance. He must be prepared. After entering the capital, he will find a way to prove his innocence and bite Shen. seek.

"They are biting each other, and our chances are greater... The current situation in East Fujian is in crisis, let's see what the emperor thinks. If you don't want chaos in Fujian, we have to continue to use Shen Mou to resist the blame and tide over the current difficulties. If you want to deal with him, you may also suspend him immediately. Send officials again..."

Fujian is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the mountain roads are rugged. It would take at least the end of March or early April to escort Qin Jin to Beijing. Fortunately, Qiu Wangzhi got some evidence and gained the emperor's trust.

Wang Lei said again, "General, Mr. Qiu hopes to serve in the Fusi of Jinwuwei North Town...I don't want to take the martial arts examination anymore, and want to go to Jinwuwei. Not only for my future, but also for the sake of the Hou Mansion and the Crown Prince. Will consider it in the future.”

Dong Yihe also hoped that Wang Lei could go to Jinwu Guard. He is suitable for that job, and he has a confidant in Jinwu Guard, so he can know many things in advance.

Still reminded him, "Most people who have served in Beizhen Fusi have a bad reputation and have difficulty getting promoted. If you are admitted to the Military Academy, it will not be difficult to become a third-grade military attache based on your ability. It is even possible to become a second-grade military attache." .

"But if you enter Jinwu Guard, your career will be affected."

Wang Lei said, "In the officialdom, people with high rank do not necessarily have great power. They can do many things there that others cannot do. Moreover, Mr. Qiu is capable and is valued by the emperor. With his support, I still have a chance."

Dong Yihe nodded, "It's a matter of the future. I'll make a decision after asking your father. In addition, if that matter is brought forward, your marriage will be postponed."

Wang Lei said, "I will risk my life for the general and his wife, let alone a marriage."

On the way home, Wang Lei went to the store and bought several kilograms of candies, snacks and nine-ring rings for his mother, nephews and nieces.

It was already dusk when he got home. He had his things taken to the inner courtyard, and then went back to his own yard to wash up before going to the outer study.

Wang Qing and Wang Zhen had already gone back to the government office. When they heard that Wang Lei was coming back, they were all waiting for him in the study outside.

Wang Lei said what he could, and then said, "I also saw the fourth brother, who worked for the young master in East Fujian. That boy was much darker than me and a little taller than me. We drank together. After half an hour of drinking, he missed his grandfather and parents very much.

"Well, maybe that was the last time I met him." (End of Chapter)
