This time Ji Heng actually disliked the caravan being too slow. After all, there were a lot of goods and all aspects had to be dealt with.

When Ji Heng saw this and had already passed the place where the last incident happened, he felt that there was no danger. He couldn't wait to leave with his guards.

Li Baqiang ambushed Ji Heng and others as they passed through a valley, and beat them out to drug them. Everyone was knocked unconscious.

Several guards were injured, and Ji Heng was killed with a knife. Ji Heng's body, the money of the guards, and the valuables on the carriage were also robbed.

Everything points to bandits robbing money.

When several guards woke up and found that Ji Heng was dead, they were very frightened and quickly returned to Lanshan County with Ji Heng's body.

Liu Xiangan was shocked when he saw Ji Heng's body, "How could this happen? Where did you meet the bandits?"

"In Shacheng Mansion next door, there is a valley. We were ambushed and we were all knocked unconscious by poison. When we woke up, we were seriously injured. We protected Mr. Ji and let him go. Unexpectedly, he...he was the most seriously injured."

Liu Xiangan frowned, always feeling that things were a bit strange, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Tang Ziqian frowned, "Ji Heng came with me, but something happened now. This is the eldest son of the Suiyang Marquis Mansion!"

Liu Zhengyang's eyes were a little confused, a little confused, and finally he had some understanding, but in the end he remained silent.

Ji Heng’s death is strange!
  Liu Xiangan scratched his head, "Zi Qian, how can I blame you for this? You didn't let those bandits do it!"

Liu Zhengyang thought about it and suggested: "Now let's quickly escort Brother Ji's body back to Beijing. In addition, Xiang An, you have to report to General Liu that the bandits must be entertained and must be found."

Liu Xiangan was dumbfounded and nodded, "Okay, you escort Ji Heng's body back to the capital. I will ask my third uncle for orders to personally lead people to suppress the bandits and avenge Brother Ji."

Liu Zhengyang was stunned, and Liu Xiangan ran away, leaving him and Tang Ziqian to face the turmoil of returning to Beijing. He was hiding in Lanshan County, Zhenxiguan, and still had a good reputation.

Liu Zhengyang felt that Liu Xiangan could not be allowed to stay in Zhenxiguan and wanted to return to the capital together.

After all, Ji Heng died, either disabled or injured. He and Tang Ziqian may not be able to withstand the pressure of Suiyang Houfu.

The Liu family is more powerful than both of them, and they both have real power, so Liu Xiangan must go back.

"Xiang An, you are not a military commander, and you are not on duty at the border. It is unfair for you to lead troops."

"Besides, let's come together, and of course we have to go back together. If Mrs. Suiyang Hou asks, we can explain together. After all, it was Brother Ji who suggested following Brother Zhentang to Zhenxiguan."

"If this matter cannot be explained clearly, we will definitely be blamed. If you are not here, it will be difficult for us to explain it to you!"

Liu Zhengyang thought in his heart that if Liu Xiangan didn't go back, he would guide Liu Xiangan at that time.

After the initial panic, Tang Ziqian also figured out the key, "Brother Liu, if we come together, we have to go back together, otherwise we won't be able to explain clearly."

Although Liu Xiangan wanted to avoid right and wrong, he was also afraid of being shunned by Liu Zhengyang and Tang Ziqian, so he said sarcastically: "Hey, aren't I just thinking about avenging Brother Ji? In that case, let's go back together."

"I will go back now and inform my third uncle that he must send troops to suppress the bandits."

"Then it's troublesome for Brother Liu. We must give an explanation to the Suiyang Marquis Mansion."

Tang Ziqian and Liu Zhengyang returned to Gongsun Mansion and came to bid farewell to the old lady.

Mrs. Gongsun looked pitiful and said, "Hey, I will send you more people and soldiers along the way to try to send you to the capital as soon as possible."

Tang Ziqian replied respectfully: "Thank you, madam. Those bandits are fierce and cruel."

Liu Zhengyang also frowned, "These bandits seem to have a grudge against Brother Ji. The guards were injured but not dead. But Brother Ji is dead."

Liu Xiang'an scratched his head, "Brother Ji came to Xiguan, Lanshan County for the first time. How could he make enemies with someone? I'm more inclined to think it was an accident."

Putting everything on the bandits' heads is the best explanation and the last to deal with it. Mrs. Gongsun raised her eyes and looked at Liu Zhengyang. This child was the most transparent and calm among the four people.

He just looks average, not handsome, but not ugly either.

But that's okay, at least as long as she doesn't take the initiative to attract bees and butterflies outside, other women won't deliberately stick to her.

Mrs. Gongsun not only arranged for people, but also prepared gifts and a letter for the Marquis of Suiyang.

After all, Ji Heng had lived in her house before. Although the accident did not happen at her house, he still had to express his condolences.

Early the next morning, they were on the road.

The Gongsun family sent many people to follow them, fearing that something might happen to the three young masters again.

When all three young masters left, Mrs. Gongsun breathed a sigh of relief.

She squinted and looked out the window.

Li Changhuan's methods are also good, and they are very good now.

The Suiyang Hou Mansion is rotten to the core. Even if it fails this time, Ji Heng will not give up.

He knows too much about Li Changhuan's affairs in the boudoir. If he fails to succeed, he will leave a lot of trouble for Li Changhuan in the future.

Only death can keep the secret.

After Li Changhuan got the news, she just smiled lightly. At this moment, she was no longer the simple and ignorant little girl.

Liu Zhengyang left in a hurry, they just signed a contract. Now Li Changhuan is looking for the caravan and asks the shopkeeper to escort the jade to the capital on her behalf.

She wants to find customers in the capital so that she can continuously sell jade from Xile Mansion.

By the way, the Xie family and the Qi family in Jinling are both large merchants. They should also be in the jewelry business, and they may also be able to purchase a lot of jade.

So Li Changhuan came to Qijia Trading Company and Qianjia Trading Company.

Manager Qi, who was in charge of Qijia Trading Company, saw Li Changhuan coming and quickly stepped forward to salute, "Miss Changhuan, are you okay?"

"I bought a lot of jade from Xile Mansion. I want to do business with the Qi family and sell some jade to you."

When Manager Qi heard this, he was slightly startled and then smiled, "Miss Changhuan, to tell you the truth, Qi's Firm has a fixed partner in Lanshan County."

"The quality of the jade in Xile Mansion is not as good as that in Lanshan County. This is well known. Our Qijia jewelry is all high-end and high-quality, and we cannot use ordinary jade."

Hearing this, Li Changhuan was a little disappointed, "Don't you do the mid-to-low end?"

"If we don't do it, if we also do low-end ones, those who buy jewelry at high prices will think it's not worth it."

"You can't open another shop, just don't let people know it's the Qi family's shop, right?" Li Changhuan asked back.

Manager Qi shook his head and laughed, "There is no airtight wall in the world. Once leaked, the Qi family's jewelry business will not be able to continue."

They said the same thing when they arrived at Qian's Trading Company, which made Li Changhuan very angry.

She didn't believe it. Why couldn't good jade be sold?
  Unable to think of a good solution, she went directly to her mother for advice.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoyue has a solution! (End of chapter)
