Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 229 Lure the snake out of its hole

Qin Siyue went to find a few women who in her impression were good at Cuju. As soon as they heard that they were going to compete with the princess of Dayuan, they refused for various reasons.

To put it bluntly, this is a thankless job, so why bother asking for trouble.

Qin Siyue confidently asked for an errand in front of the emperor and empress, hoping to avenge her past shame and make everyone look at her differently. As a result, she couldn't even form a team.

"Princess, what should we do? We have gathered people, but we still have to practice, but now there are only four of us." Zhao Danniang said worriedly.

A Cuju team has twelve people on the field, and there must be at least fifteen substitutes in case of accidents.

Qin Siyue thought for a while: "No need to worry. At worst, there are posters recruiting people who are good at Cuju. I don't believe that Daqi can't find more than a dozen people."

Everyone: ...I'm afraid that after everyone has gathered together and the game has started, there will be no time to practice coordination tactics.

At this time, Ji Yunchen and Gu Zhouding were lying in ambush on the slope beside the official road from Tonglin to the capital.

The subordinate came to report: "Sir, the convoy is coming."

Sure enough, after a while, a motorcade turned around the mountain col and appeared in front of everyone.

The motorcade stopped here.

Ji Yunchen looked surprised and whispered: "How did you know they would hand over here? It's amazing!"

"Isn't this simple? In front of the valley is the three-way intersection leading to Qinshan and the capital. If they don't hand over here, where can they do it?" Gu Zhouting said calmly.

The last time he came back, he had memorized the terrain on the road. Therefore, after confirming that the group moved the secret workshop to Qinshan, he expected that this would be the place where they would hand over the ore.

Ji Yunchen clenched his fists and said, "Today we will give him the stolen goods and take the profits together."

This is what Gu Zhouting said about luring the snake out of its hole.

Everyone waited for another half an hour, and finally the convoy transporting ore from Tonglin arrived.

The people from both sides exchanged carriages in a tacit understanding, and Tong Lin's convoy continued to move forward, while the first-arriving convoy waited for a quarter of an hour before setting off and embarking on the official road to Qinshan.

"It only takes twelve cars to transport, and it takes more than a hundred miles to travel. Compared with before, the loss is huge." Ji Yunchen snorted.

Gu Zhouting was afraid of patting him on the shoulder: "I'll leave those people to you."

"Don't worry, you can't run away."

Gu Zhouting led his men down the slope and took a detour back to Beijing. He wanted to catch them off guard after the weapons supervisor received the ore.

In Shangguanjia Cemetery, in front of several of the newest graves, there are offerings that have not yet rotted, unburned incense candles, and a pile of burnt paper money and ashes. Someone must have come to pay homage after the ban was lifted.

Wang Qirou stayed in front of Shangguan Beiqing's tombstone for a long time without saying a word, but Jiang Wanning knew that she had said a lot to her second brother in her heart, but they couldn't hear it.

She still remembered Wang Qirou holding her and crying for a long time on the eve of her wedding.

Wang Qirou said that she didn't know how she would live the rest of her life if she had to marry someone she didn't like even though she had someone she liked.

But she couldn't resist her parents' orders, and her mother threatened to die because she thought it was good for her.

She remembered that the second brother was very drunk that night. The second brother said that if he was not drunk, he was afraid that he would steal the bride.

She said, then go and grab it! Take Qirou away and fly far away.

The second brother said that he could not let Qirou become a joke in everyone's eyes.

At that time, the second brother felt that time could dilute everything, and thought that Qirou might be able to have her own happiness. A pair of lovers were separated abruptly when they were most in love. There was no farewell and they were reluctant to say goodbye. Who knew they would never see each other again.

Wang Qirou didn't cry until she came to Nan Zhi's grave.

"You said you never lied to others and that you kept your promises, but you broke your promise. You said you would come to Minzhou to see me, but what I was waiting for was the news that you died in battle..." Wang Qirou complained, I burst into tears.

"I also want to live a good life, as you wish, I have tried hard, but I still can't do it, I really can't do it... Every day in Minzhou is suffering. You don't know, after I got the news, I went crazy and went to Gubei to find you. He locked me up and refused to allow me to leave..."

"Nan Zhi, don't blame me for being late. It's too difficult to reconcile..." Wang Qirou held back her tears and burned paper money for her.

Jiang Wanning could imagine the pain and struggle Qirou went through, and she wanted to comfort her and tell her that her best friend was still alive.

But does it work? Her true love is gone forever!

Shang Yu was wiping tears aside. He remembered Sister Qirou as a carefree and unrestrained woman. She was always so cheerful and as dazzling as Shangguan Nanzhi. This was the first time he saw Sister Qirou crying so sadly.

Wang Qirou had cried enough, gathered her emotions, and stood up: "I made you laugh."

Jiang Wan Ning said: "No, Mrs. Shangguan has a soul in heaven and will be very happy for you to come see her, but she definitely doesn't want you to be so sad."

Wang Qirou nodded: "She said that if one day she dies on the battlefield, I will only shed three tears for her, and then live a good life, either peacefully and peacefully, or wonderfully and wantonly, so that she won't have to worry about it." Another world has her to worry about.”

Jiang Wan Ning's throat was choked by something, and her throat hurt.

At dawn, thirty carts of ore were delivered to the Ordnance Supervision.

The supervisor responsible for receiving the ore counted the number of vehicles in a scribble, and then asked someone to collect the ore into the warehouse.

"Wait a minute."

With a cold and low shout, a group of officers and soldiers rushed up and surrounded the convoy and the weapons supervisor.

Gu Zhouting walked up to the supervisor unhurriedly.

"Supervisor Pan, is this how you inspect ore?"

Pan Jianzuo recognized Gu Zhouting, and a chill ran from his heels to the back of his head. He forced himself to calm down and bowed his hands in greeting: "I've met Mr. Gu before, but you don't know something. These ores come from Tonglin, and the quality of Tonglin's ores is It’s guaranteed, so there’s no need to do too much testing.”

"Really? Aren't you afraid of adulteration in the ore?"

Inspector Pan was stunned for a moment, then smiled guiltily: "How is that possible? Who dares to cheat in the ore that the weapons inspector wants?"

Gu Zhouting sneered and sneered: "Perhaps there are those who have taken advantage of the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. I have received reports that more than 30% of this batch of ore is waste ore."

"Sir, this is definitely a malicious report made out of nothing."

"Whether there is or not, we'll find out once we check." Gu Zhou stopped, waved his hand, and immediately came over to the two of them.

"These two are old masters at Tonglin Mine, and they know the ore produced by Tonglin best."

Supervisor Pan broke into a cold sweat and was thinking quickly about how to deal with it.

The two old masters checked one car after another, took out carbon strips and marked the cars loaded with fake ore, and soon found ten cars of fake ore.

"Sir, these ten carts of ore are not from Tonglin Mine, and they cannot be called ore, they are just waste rocks."

Supervisor Pan was sweating coldly, and immediately rushed to the steward who delivered the ore to blame him: "What's wrong with you? How dare you fool the weapons supervisor with waste ore."
