After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

"Although our Liao family is considered number one in Wuwei City, in the eyes of those powerful people, we are just like merchants. What is your status? You are worthy of being personally received by the Duke of Wuwei. It would be great to have a useful confidant to meet you." Not bad.”

The grandfather of the Liao family continued to tell his grandson the cruel facts of the world. Yes, even if the Liao family wanted to seek refuge with Shen Qingjun, under normal circumstances, they were not even qualified to be received by Shen Qingjun.

Again, if the powerful people at the county level could meet whoever they wanted, the Zhao family would not pay such a tragic price in exchange. Wouldn't this make the Zhao Jie family's plan unnecessary?
"Go! Go tomorrow and leave a good impression to others that you are able to do things and work diligently... Since you absolutely surrender to Duke Wuwei, show your greatest value. As long as Duke Wuwei can destroy the Liu family, The Duke's Mansion will not miss out on the benefits of my Liao family, and if we lose, there will be nothing left to say."

"Yes, grandfather."

"By the way, you also need to make good friends with Master Wei. A word from him can help you get twice the result with half the effort. Don't neglect him. How old is he? He took office following the Duke of Wuwei. I wonder if his wife and concubines are with him?
If you are young and have two younger sisters, this is also a good place to go..." Seeing that his family has been bound to the county government, for the future of his family in the county government, the grandfather of the Liao family actively exerted his subjective initiative...

"Grandpa, I forgot to tell you that she is a woman, so she may not be married yet..."

"Oh... women, that's even more important... Duke Wuwei is a woman... Master Wei is a woman, and your two sisters are women, so they are more useful. Don't they want to make contributions every day? "

"See if you can send them to Mr. Wei's staff. They are all women. Their status may be more convenient. Maybe their future in the county government is better than yours! You can still rely on them in the future..." Liao My grandfather was able to create the Noda family business on his own at a young age, allowing the Liu family to specifically target him. This shows that he only seeks results and does not care about methods.

"Grandpa, my grandson also wants our two sisters to have a good future, but Chief Wei and I are not familiar with each other yet, so it would be a mistake to rashly surround her with someone else!"

"Did I ask you to do it right away? Look for a chance! Can't you become familiar with me if you're not familiar with me? Idiot!" The grandfather of the Liao family hates iron and steel. "And you must not be scornful of someone just because they are a girl. In the future, whether our Liao family can occupy a place in the county government's government depends entirely on her..."
"What my grandfather taught me is that there is no need for my grandfather to remind me about this. My grandson knows what to do! He will never be arrogant."

……

Shen Qingjun returned to the house and took a shower. Thinking of what happened today, she suddenly spoke.

"Come here. Let's go and investigate this Liao Qilong and the Liao family in detail! Especially the grievances and grievances of the Liao family. Please provide detailed information, regardless of the size. I want to see it personally..."

"Yes, lord." No one else was seen in the room except Shen Qingjun, but a voice came from secretly.

"Let's go and investigate the Liu family in detail, especially the Liu family's control of various industries in Wuwei, especially the four aspects of information on grain, ironware, salt, and horses. The more detailed and comprehensive the better..."

"Yes, my lord."

It only took Shen Qingjun's people one day to find out the grievances between Liao Qilong and the Liao family, as well as the Liao family and the Liu family, as well as the Liu family's control of Wuwei County's industries...

She looked at the information about the Liao family first, because there were only two pages of information about the Liao family, but there were two piles of information about the Liu family... It was really, "high and low" looking forward to it!

After a while, she fully understood the grudges between the Liao family and the Liu family.

A simple summary is that the Liao family's horse business has gone too far, and they have established stable business channels with some tribes among the Qiang people. They also plan to break away from the control of the Liu family and become independent, so as not to let the Liu family, a second-rate dealer, take any advantage... Suck blood at home...

Although the Liao family also operates secretly, is there any impenetrable wall in the world?

Moreover, their behavior has greatly affected the interests of the Liu family. If the Liu family does not take action against the Liao family, they will not only lose the support of the Liao family, because the Liao family's actions will "lead bad people", and if people's hearts are broken, then the Liu family will control the entire county. deterrence will be challenged again...

After all, once the hearts of the people are dispersed, it will be difficult to lead the team...

So half a year ago, the head of the Liao family and his eldest son were attacked by "horse bandits" during a transaction with the Qiang people, and the entire caravan was killed...

At the same time, after Liao Qilong's father and brother were killed, the Liu family continued to target and press forward step by step, intending to eradicate the roots. The Liao family was forced to give up all business and could only stay in the city to avoid disaster...

No matter how unscrupulous the Liu family's methods are, no matter how unscrupulous their actions are, they still have to cover up their fig leaf quickly and will not directly kill people in the city...

Just when the Liao family had nowhere to escape, news came that Shen Qingjun had become the Duke of Wuwei...

Therefore, the Liu family focused most of their energy on how to deal with Shen Qingjun's arrival, and relaxed their encirclement and suppression of the Liao family.

In other words, if it were not for Shen Qingjun, the Liao family's only two remaining grandchildren might have been gone long ago.

"It turns out that the Liao family still has this experience..." Shen Qingjun looked at the information and murmured: "So even if the Liao family used methods to get close to me and their intentions were evil, their sworn hatred with the Liu family is real. Therefore, Liao Qilong yesterday What he said should be true, and his intention to seek refuge is quite sincere! It is also generally credible..."

After reading the information about the Liao family, Shen Qingjun looked at the latest "latest" information about the Liu family on the table. This time it took a long time. It took about half an hour for Shen Qingjun to read the Liu family's property accounts...

Yes, after reading it, Shen Qingjun called these two piles of information about the Liu family "Liu family's industry accounts"!
This can also effectively prove how much this information shocked Shen Qingjun...

As for why Shen Yan’s intelligence was missing this part before, the main reason is that many times, intelligence investigation requires a small interface to find out the whole thing. But without this small interface, it is possible that nothing can be thought of, and naturally nothing can be found. Not found.

……

"Is this the trail you mentioned that goes around the Liujia Cangbing Canyon?" Shen Qingjun looked at the winding and narrow trail above the cliff...

The grandfather of the Liao family was persuaded by Liao Qilong and decided to surrender the whole family to Shen Qingjun. He also had the temperament to act immediately when he made up his mind.

The next day, he asked his grandson Liao Qilong to take his people to the Duke's Mansion to find Chief Wei, and invited Chief Wei to investigate the Liu family's secret military training.

After receiving the news, Shen Qingjun also felt that finding out whether the Liu family was secretly training soldiers and horses could not be delayed, so he immediately led 600 people out of the city and followed Liao Qilong to a cliff... "Yes, as long as you walk to this path At the end, it is only one mile away from the Huangsha Valley where the Liu family hides their troops!" Liao Qilong nodded.

"Where is Shen Li?"

"What are the orders from Chief Wei?" Shen Qingjun told Shen Li before going out, asking him to keep his identity secret and call himself Chief Wei, so Shen Li did not call him Lord.

"Take 20 people and follow the Liao family to the end of this path to find out whether the Liu family is secretly training troops? If it is true that they are secretly training troops, then you need to find out how many soldiers there are? What kind of troops are they? We also need to observe the terrain near Huangsha Valley to see where it is suitable for ambush and interception... These must be identified one by one, but be careful not to be discovered by them."

"Yes, sir... Don't worry, Chief Wei, I will find out everything one by one." Shen Li almost let it slip, but luckily Yuan came back.

Liao Qilong only noticed Shen Qingjun's casual way of ordering Shen Li to do things, and secretly guessed Shen Qingjun's status in the county government's government. At this moment, he only felt that Chief Wei had a high status in the county government's government!I was so happy with my choice that I didn't even notice the problem with Shen Li's title.

Seeing that Shen Li had taken the order, he also said to the man who looked like a butler behind him: "Uncle Liao, thank you for your hard work. I would also like to trouble you to go with General Shen."

"It's hard work for you, young master, but it's your duty. Don't worry, young master, you will definitely bring this general here. Young master, I take my leave!"

"Well, Uncle Liao, walk slowly."

After Shen Li and Liao Youcai left,
Liao Qilong then looked at Shen Qingjun and explained: "Uncle Liao, whose name is Liao Youcai, is my grandfather's confidant. His father, ancestors and descendants have worked for our Liao family for five generations. He has always been prudent and loyal in doing things. He is absolutely trustworthy, and the Liu family has hidden soldiers." He also discovered the matter, so I specially brought him here today to guide the way."

"Secretary Wei has brought as many as 500 people... I don't know?" Liao Qilong hesitated, wanting to remind Shen Qingjun that she might have leaked the secrets if she brought too many people, but it seemed that she was suspicious and might cause trouble. Hi, don’t talk about it, it’s a matter of life and death for the family.

Why didn't he say it? , because now the entire Liao family has taken refuge in the Duke's Mansion, and the 'Master Wei' in front of him at this moment is the confidant of Duke Wuwei. With the change of identity, naturally he will not be as relaxed as before when facing Shen Qingjun again. As one wishes……

Shen Qingjun heard Liao Qilong's hesitant words, and then thought about this outing. There were only two people in the Liao family, namely him, Liao Qilong, and Liao Youcai just now. He thought it was because he was worried that there were so many people on his side that secrets would be leaked and it would be difficult to speak out. .

She smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, Liao Langjun, my people can definitely be trusted." Shen Qingjun pointed to the guard standing quietly behind him and said:

"They are all the lord's bodyguards. Captain Shen Li is also one of the lord's bodyguard captains! How loyal is a person who can be kept by the lord's side to protect his own safety? Maybe he can be trusted by Liao Langjun?"

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to keep his identity as Chief Wei in front of Liao Qilong, Shen Qingjun would have to bring at least a battalion of 3000 people out of the city. Taking only 600 people out would have worried the retainers in the mansion. After all, even if he was not far from the city, then He also left the city.

"I'm just being paranoid. I think so. Duke Shen and Chief Wei are both cautious people. How could they make such an obvious mistake? I'm unfounded!" Liao Qilong apologized.

"There, there, you don't know the truth, so it's normal to be worried."

"Jun Gong Shen has arranged all his personal guards to be driven by Chief Wei. It seems that Chief Wei is trusted by the Duke in the Duke's Mansion and has a very high status!" Liao Qilong complimented, while secretly inquiring about Shen Qingjun's status in the Duke's Mansion. status, it’s not that he has any bad intentions...

But if the Liao family enters the Duke's Mansion through "Master Wei", he will naturally be regarded as the same faction as "Master Wei". The status of "Master Wei" in the Duke's Mansion can affect the future of his Liao family. , naturally I have to inquire about it.

"This may be related to the fact that my lord and I grew up together! I don't care about my status, but as my lord's confidant, all of this is my lord's trust.

As for why Captain Shen Li listened to my orders, my lord just told me this before I left! "Shen Qingjun calmly returned to the mistake that might have betrayed the gang. He was used to giving orders to Shen Li just now, so he didn't notice it for a moment.

"I see, but Master Wei must be too modest. Duke Shen can hand over all such important matters to Master Wei. It shows that you must be a confidant among his confidants!"

"There, there. Hey... they have gone far away, and we can no longer see clearly here. Let's go to a higher place and have a look!" Shen Qingjun wanted to change the subject, and after speaking, he walked towards the slope...

Walking to a small hillside, she saw Shen Li and Liao Youcai clearly again from a high place. She kept staring at them for a while, watching them gradually walk away... At the same time, she also discovered that most of their journey was in the canyon. Weaving through the cracks, this path is indeed very hidden!

I turned around and looked at Liao Qilong, who was panting like a dog just after walking up a small slope. Not only was he walking on his hands and knees, but he could only stand and pant while holding on to the rocks...

She did not propose to go further and higher, and said compassionately: "Okay, if you can't see clearly, just don't see clearly! Just stop here! I won't go ahead."

"Amitabha, Mr. Wei, you have finally stopped. If you go any higher, I will be exhausted." Liao Qilong gratefully sang a Buddha's name!It is said that Buddhism is believed by many people in Wuwei County, and it also has a wide range of believers among the Qiang people...

After taking a breath, Liao Qilong asked: "Master Wei, you are a close relative of the Duke. Do you know how Duke Shen plans to deal with the Liu family?"

"Before we determine how many troops the Liu family has in their possession, the Lord has not made it clear. Everything is still unknown and will depend on the development of the situation!"

Shen Qingjun was telling the truth. The number of soldiers and horses in the Liu family was uncertain, so how could she decide on a strategy?But she also knows that dealing with the Liu family's affairs cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise things will change later...

"Mr. Shen is a cautious person! But I said too much." Liao Qilong obviously understood that he was asking nonsense.

"How long do you estimate it will take for them to come back?"

"If it's just a round trip, it will take about three hours. If there are other delays, I'm not sure... maybe three or four hours!"

"Three or four hours... we don't have to go back until the afternoon. It's too long. Waiting here is not an option. Let's go back to the city first."

Shen Qingjun is a land lord, so she naturally has her own affairs to be busy with. It is impossible for her to spend three or four hours here just waiting for news. Moreover, if she stays outside the city for three or four hours with only a few hundred people, she will Those retainers will explode with worry!
