Chapter 233 Sure enough
"Liu Commander, I naturally know your character. If you let me make the decision, even if I doubt Zhao Mi or my own son, I won't be able to doubt you."

"But Mr. Yu is indeed here on the orders of an official. He wants to inspect your ship, and I can't be his master."

"In this case, you two will wait for a while until the official arrives. It is better for him to decide whether to inspect the ship or not. It's better."

Wang De licked his face and invited both of them to the tea stall with knives. He had already admitted his mistake by serving tea in advance, and took advantage of this gap to let the two of them talk.

Yu Yunwen told all the doubts in his heart and the anomalies of the Qian family. Liu Qi was not an unreasonable master. Knowing that the matter was of great importance, he had already thought of taking a step back.

But he just had an idea. It would be fine if he let the scholar board the ship from the beginning. But he had already shown his attitude just now. If Zhao Guanjia had given in before the family came...he should have done so anyway. After Wang De's arrangement, when the emperor arrives, he will definitely have no reason not to investigate such a big matter.

At that time, Zhao Guan's family made a statement, and since he was on good terms, he did not feel like he had failed the Qian family.

The three of them were drinking tea like this. The nearly ten thousand people on the river embankment didn't want to lose the Qian family's business. They were all waiting, and they knew that the reason why they couldn't start work was because of these three people. , so intentionally or unintentionally, I always glanced in the direction of the tea stall.

Being stared at by so many people, the three of them were a little uncomfortable, and they all hoped that the emperor would arrive early. After waiting for a long time, the emperor did not arrive, but Wang De's victorious army and him came. 's two sons.

The three of them all stood up to greet him, but no matter how they looked, they could not see Zhao Guan's family. Xiao Yaksha hated his father for being stubborn, and even though he was causing trouble for himself, he also had a cold face and was not very enthusiastic towards him.

"Who are you showing your shame to?! Your father is dead?!"

Wang De couldn't see Wang Qi's appearance, so he cursed directly. Xiao Yaksha felt terribly miserable and ordered Wang Shun to lead people to watch the ferry. He saluted Liu Qi and Yu Yunwen, and then pulled Wang aside. go.

"father!"

Wang Qi sighed and said, "The official family didn't come."

"not coming?"

Wang De lowered his head and thought: "Could it be that the officials are showing off their temper again? They want Scholar Yu and Liu Du to fight?"

Wang Qi shook his head and told all that the emperor was busy with important matters and what Medicine Master Guo said. The father and son of this family have been licking blood from the tip of a knife all year round. When they really need to use their brains, it will inevitably be a bit difficult.

The old man Guo Yaoshi has been with the emperor for a long time and is familiar with the temper of Zhao Guan's family. Now what he said is not unreasonable. After careful consideration, Wang De gritted his teeth and said:

"Then I will take the blame!"

As he said this, he later realized that something that had nothing to do with him had now become the protagonist.

I don’t know how it got involved.

"Call the second brother, and you two will investigate together. I'll keep an eye on those two troublemakers."

Wang Qi agreed, and Wang De sat down in the tea stall and informed the two of them that the emperor did not come and that the ship inspection was his responsibility. Liu Qi and Yu Yunwen were both a little silent.

These two are both human beings. If Zhao Guan's family doesn't come, there is only one reason.

That was the Qian family, and he didn't want to offend them.

It's not surprising that they thought so. After all, Wang Qi didn't tell Wang De what the emperor was busy with, so it was naturally impossible for Wang De to tell them.

After only a cup of tea, Wang Qi returned to the stall. Wang De was a little surprised:
"So fast?"

"No," Xiao Yaksha touched his head, cupped his hands towards Yu Yunwen and said, "I don't know, sir, what do you want to check?"

Yu Yunwen was stunned: "Things on the boat."

"If it's what's on the ship, it's money and food for pigs and sheep, nothing else." Sure enough, it was another batch of supplies, and a large amount of supplies.

Yu Yunwen continued: "Then please ask the Major General to check the amount again. When the officials asked me to receive it, they said that Duke Rong sent 30 pigs and sheep, [-] catties of grain and grass, and [-] yuan in money."

Wang Qi agreed and was about to leave when Yu Yunwen ordered again:

"I also ask the Major General to investigate separately, and to inspect the boat that came with Liu Du, and to inspect the boat that was boarded by the people from the Imperial City Department at the ferry just now!"

Xiao Yaksha responded as he walked. Fortunately, this place is next to the ferry, and there is a boat specially used for weighing. However, he thought it would be good to get a result of what happened here before the emperor finished his business. An explanation.

He brought many people, and a few thousand people were more than enough to deal with two batches of less than a hundred ships. The pigs, sheep and copper coins were all counted, and the food and grass were easy to handle. It only took some time to move them to the weighing ships. That’s all.

The family members of Qian who came with Liu Qi looked at all this with cold eyes. In contrast to the attitude of the other family members of Qian who just stopped him from checking, the Jinyi family almost vomited their hearts out. Taking advantage of the chaos on the pier, they finally touched Liu Qi. Qi's boat.

"Mr. Big, we have to find a way!"

Qian's family members, who were called 'Mr. Big', didn't even look at him and said coldly:
"The fourth master is really good at business, and he is even capable of betraying the country."

"Mr. Da, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!" The man in Jinyi looked at the Imperial Guards beside him, and after seeing that they didn't notice them, he quickly bowed to Mister Da:
"It's all about the Qian family. Why did Mr. Da say such unreasonable things?"

"If Fourth Master's matter is exposed, who in the Qian family, including you and me, will be able to get anything good?"

"I know that Mr. Da usually has a lot of prejudices against me, but this is not the time for us to fight among ourselves. Mr. Da has always been alert, so please think of a way."

"There's no way!" It's okay that Mr. Da didn't listen to what he said. After hearing what he said, he became extremely angry. "The Qian family has been married to the royal family for generations. The Song Dynasty is the capital of the Qian family's wealth for generations. How can anyone take advantage of it?" What’s the point of placing bets on outsiders’ tables with your capital?”

The man almost burst into tears. He quickly approached Mr. Da and whispered a few words to him.

The older gentleman was suddenly startled and turned back to look at him:
"Is this true?"

"Even if I had ten brains, I wouldn't dare say something to arrange it."

Mr. Da held the railings of the boat tightly with both hands, paused, and then let out a long sigh.

The Imperial Guards moved very quickly, and it only took them more than half an hour to count all the numbers.

Yu Yunwen took the note from Wang Qi, glanced at it, and said:

"The number of thirty ships that came with Ambassador Liu is in line with what Duke Rong Guo promised."

"It's just that the ships that were parked here before, their money and food are twice as much as what Duke Rongguo gave us. Where are these ships going?"

"This is a serious matter. Young General, please keep an eye on the Qian family. I will go and see Your Majesty in person!"

Yu Yunwen moved at his word. Just as he stood up, he heard waves of exclamations coming from the ferry.

Everyone looked up and saw nothing but scattered figures, but soon, the sound of swords clashing was heard.

This is……

Wang Qi frowned. He clearly saw that on Liu Qi's ship, his own people and Ma Junsi's imperial army had already taken action.
