Chapter 88 Drought in Jiangnan
The remaining five saints were happy to watch the fun of Xie Qingcheng and Situ Boliang, but the test that Song Qingwan was going to give them was equally difficult.

Song Qingwan would never forget that the purpose of her buying the Seven Saints was for the affairs of Jiangnan.

"Qingcheng, have you heard about the situation in Jiangnan?" Song Qingwan personally added tea to her old father, preparing to help him calm down.

Sure enough, Song's father's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, wondering, "What's going on in Jiangnan?" Why hasn't he heard about it? There was no letter from his family either.

Xie Qingcheng thought that Song Qingwan was testing him again, so he talked freely, "There is drought in Jiangnan.

It started in the first half of last year, and until the summer harvest this year, many places had no harvest, especially Jiujiang County, Luling County, which is known as the Jiangnan Lotus Town. "

"What did you say? Luling County!" Father Song suddenly stood up, grabbed Xie Qingcheng's arm, and asked in panic.

Xie Qingcheng didn't expect Song's father to be so excited. Could it be that the Song family's hometown is in Luling County?

He nodded and could only say truthfully, "Yes, it is said that it has not rained there for two years. The ground is dry and cracked, with no grass growing. There are only scorched sand and a few barren shrubs. The land is completely desolate.

Even the water source for civilians was cut off. In particular, a war broke out between officials and businessmen in the area, resulting in many people being unable to escape the famine. Both people and information were blocked, which made people feel desperate.

However, the number of casualties has not yet been determined, and the capital has already sent people down to provide disaster relief." But the speed is definitely not that fast, so how can we not be worried?

Father Song's face was solemn, and he was thinking of a solution quickly in his mind.

But at this moment, the door of the main house was opened with a clang, and Song Niang walked out with a pale face.

"Brother Lin, is it true? Drought in Luling County? Struggle between officials and businessmen?" Both the Song and Ye families are from Luling County, and the Ye family also has the title of businessmen. How can Ye Qiuniang sit still?

"Don't worry, mother of the child. Wanwan and I are thinking of a way. Everything will be fine. You go back and rest." Father Song tried his best to calm himself down, stood up and helped his wife back to the house.

When they came back, they continued the discussion, "Wan Wan, did you know about this a long time ago?" So you spared no effort to capture the Seven Slave Saints? Father Song also understood it immediately.

Song Qingwan nodded, "Yes, when I borrowed money from Qingtong Bank today, Boss Fang easily agreed to the loan. I wonder if he has some plans for the Ye family.

So I asked others about the news in Jiangnan, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. I can't make a conclusion about the specific situation yet.

Now, I want Zhongyi, Jiang Ling and Hua Tianxia to go to Jiangnan.

Zhongyi will take care to see if the Ye family's business has been affected. He will take 50,000 taels and make the decision based on the situation. His purpose is to save the lives of the Ye family members. Business is secondary.

Jiang Ling was the doctor who provided emergency treatment and brought some medicines that might be needed; Hua Tian was responsible for the safety of all personnel, including the Song family.

When acting, you only need to use your own judgment and do not have to obey the instructions and orders of others. Just rescue the people and there will be no problem in bringing the two families back to the capital.

I wonder if the three of you are willing to accept this difficult mission? This trip is very risky, and you are free to choose to participate. "

If these three people don't go, then she will have to go herself. Song Qingwan's eyes are determined. If she hadn't received a deposit of 50,000 taels, she must give Li Minghe an explanation as soon as possible and would have set off to Jiangnan without hesitation.

God knows how much pressure Li Minghe had to endure to get that order of 150,000 taels. She couldn't let him down.

"Since the girl believes in me, she will go, of course. But I can't guarantee to what extent I can do it. I can only say that I will do my best."

Liu Zhongyi agreed without hesitation. With his evil appearance, no one was willing to trust him since he was a child, not even his parents, let alone entrust him with important tasks.

This could be said to be his first time doing something big, so how could he fail Song Qingwan's trust? You know, 50,000 taels is not a small amount, and it is far away from the capital in the far south of the Yangtze River, so it is very easy to run away with the money.

Song Qingwan handed it to him without hesitation. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved. Liu Zhongyi ignited infinite fighting spirit and was not afraid of the dangers ahead.

Jiang Ling also chuckled and said nonchalantly, "I'll go too. I haven't seen the scenery of Jiangnan yet." The kind where the earth is dry and barren.

"Let's go together, but the girl must have enough wine." Xiao Huatian raised the jar of wine in his hand. It was Father Song's Zui Qianli, and he couldn't give it up even if he was injured.

Song Qingwan and Song's father bowed to the three people. Song's father said, "Thank you very much, heroes. Although my relatives are very important, you should still put your own lives first. Please take care of yourself and come back soon."

Under special circumstances, Father Song had to spend more time thinking about it. He called it retreating to advance. He hoped that his open-mindedness would gain the gratitude of the three and make them pay more attention to their relatives in Jiangnan.

"That's right, we only have one life, there is no distinction between high and low, your main task is to protect yourself." This was Song Qingwan's true thought.

"Don't worry, sir, don't worry, young lady, we will get ready tonight and set off for Jiangnan early tomorrow morning." If the city gates were still open, they all wanted to go now.

"Okay, this is the loan agreement. You go to the bank tomorrow to get the money and then leave. We will do business in the capital, and when you three return triumphantly, I will treat you to some wine." Song Qingwan handed the IOU directly to Liu Zhongyi.

Xiao Huatian was attracted by the wine, "Fruit wine? Is it delicious?" The tone was especially similar to when Song Qingwan first talked to him.

"Whether it tastes good or not is up to the experts to decide. You'll know when the time comes." Song Qingwan kept it a secret.

"Then what about our mission?" Xiuniang pointed at herself and Mo Shou. They couldn't just sit there and eat for free.

He is really a man of action. Song Qingwan smiled, and the atmosphere at the scene was finally not so heavy. "Mo Shou, go to the Hu family tomorrow and make horseshoes with Lao Tietou. I used the casting method, and I think you should be interested.

Xiuniang will go out with me for the time being." She has a lot of things to do in a day and is very busy.

Xiuniang opened her mouth, and the birthmark on her face twisted, looking quite ugly. She said in embarrassment, "Girl, it's not that I don't want to.

But with my appearance, I am afraid that I will embarrass you if I stay by your side." It doesn't matter if she manages the backyard, after all, she doesn't have to go out.

"It's just a shell. I don't mind it. But I have some jade cream here. You can try it. To save trouble, you can also wear a mask temporarily."

Song Qingwan reached into her sleeve pocket and took out a bottle of jade skin cream for Xiuniang.

Xiuniang's eyes suddenly filled with tears. Has she never seen such a precious thing as the Jade Skin Cream? She has never been cared for or cared for by anyone. "Thank you." How can this be the treatment of a servant?

The Song family's style is a bit beyond the norm. The Seven Saints are actually a compliment from the world. To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the Seven Monsters and the Seven Evils.

So, why should we not be on guard against such evil people? It is too speechless, but we have to protect this sincerity with all our heart.

Song Qingwan, dare to embezzle her money? Wouldn't she retaliate? Besides, doing anything requires costs and carries huge risks.

After everything was arranged, the Seven Saints left the Song family. Those who needed to be busy went about their business, and those who needed to stay in an inn stayed for a few days.

Finally, only the Song family was left. Seeing her worried father, Song Qingwan couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't worry, Dad. This is the best arrangement now.

We should make more money. Think about it, if everyone from our hometown moves to Beijing, won’t they have to be supported?
How is your windmill going? You are not allowed to mention it to your superiors, otherwise you will lose face in front of your family. " Song Qingwan, of course, had other plans.
