after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 1097
Chapter 1097
The guy who came to follow him was miserable, but he didn't know if the legs of the people inside were weak or not. Anyway, he was tortured to the point that his legs were weak after running.

When there was no movement in the room, the guy was really relieved, found an empty room, fell asleep, and made a loud snoring sound after a while.

"The buddy is exhausted and paralyzed, let's hurry up and go back quickly."

Qi Heng glanced at the sky, it was late at night, and it was a good time to go to Sunjia Village.

"coming!"

Lin Yuesha said, and brought an oiled paper bag, which contained pastries and peach slice cakes, and saved them for the road to replenish energy.

The couple tossed the waiter, calling for water over and over again, and Lin Yuesha herself was so tired that she washed it several times to be true.

When the two arrived at Sunjia Village, they found a group of people patrolling at the entrance of the village.

"Brothers, everyone has worked hard to keep an eye on it. If there is any change and report it to the Lord, it will be a great achievement."

The leader shouted with a lantern, full of energy, this matter is no small matter, the business done by adults must not be discovered, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

"Boss, it's all due to that idiot making trouble, otherwise how could we stay here on duty all night without sleep?"

The subordinates are very dissatisfied. It is best to sleep in a warm bed in cold weather, rather than wandering outside in the cold wind.

The scholar only said that he suspected that the donkey meat in Hetai Restaurant was not made of donkey meat, and he was talking nonsense without evidence, and the adults were nervous and fully on guard, was it too much of a fuss?

Scholars are stunned, what do you know.

"My lord, this is to prepare for a rainy day."

The leader raised his foot and kicked the complaining subordinate, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter again.

In the law of Daqi, killing a horse is a felony. As an official of Daqi, Shen Zhifu knows the law and breaks the law, and the crime is aggravated.

If ordinary people came to make trouble, there would be no place to justify killing that person, but the stunned young scholar has an unusual status, he is a county magistrate, which makes Zhifu Shen have to act cautiously.

If Scholar Wen didn't mean it, but his father ordered it, the matter would be complicated.

"But our lord has already joined Major General Qi, and our position is stable."

I heard that General Qi is about to return to the capital, and he must pass through Wuzhou. His family is preparing to show his loyalty by showing his hospitality, so he can reap some benefits at that time.

"So, at this juncture, we must be more careful, and we must not cause trouble."

The leader is Shen Zhifu's confidant, and he keeps reminding his subordinates to keep up their spirits on patrol. If there is someone behind Wen Shusheng, maybe they can really find out this place.

Qi Heng took Lin Yuesha to hide beside the haystack and listened to the whole process.

When the people walked away, Lin Yuesha sighed: "I didn't expect Wuzhou to be so dark."

Forcing the people of Sunjia Village to leave their homes and sell horse meat, there may be other activities behind it.

Because prefect Shen was the first to seek refuge with Qi Heng, he instead took Qi Heng as his backer and umbrella and did whatever he wanted.

There were guards at the entrance of Sunjia Village, Qi Heng took Lin Yuesha around to the other side and entered it, there was a cave inside.

The houses in the village have long been demolished, and a number of stables with thatched roofs have been built. In the huts next to the stables, through the Koryo paper, you can see the shadows shaking by the windows.

"That's right, these are war horses from the Northwest."

Qi Heng touched the stable to confirm, and finally came to a conclusion.

Da Qi's war horses in the northwest were a large number of short-footed horses, and from the wounds on the horses, it could be seen that the wounds were indeed caused by the special weapons of the foreign Helian City.

The war horses that have made great military exploits on the battlefield, even if they are disabled, as members of the military exploits, are raised in the horse farm until the horses die in old age.

Every year, Qi Heng allocates a large amount of money, up to 10,000+ taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, these war horses with meritorious service did not stay in the Northwest Racecourse, but were sent to Wuzhou City, where they became a delicacy on the people's table. Prefect Shen is so courageous.

"Not only bold, but also deeply hidden."

Thinking about it carefully, I don't blame Zhifu Shen for taking the risk, this is really a lucrative business.

Injured war horses are kept in the racecourse, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is a lot of cost every year.

Kill these horses and sell them for money, get a considerable profit, and save money for hiring people to take care of the horses.

Coupled with the annual investment of military supplies, it saves money and makes money, and the money just goes into the pocket so quietly.

Moreover, it is easy to conceal the origin of the war horse, Qi Heng will not devote too much energy to it, and it is easy to take advantage of loopholes.

There are over a hundred war horses in a large stable, and the Sun family village has a vast area, so there must be at least dozens of stables.

It's just that the Hetai restaurant family can't digest so much horse meat. There should be other channels to get these horses out.

There was someone patrolling in the racecourse, Qi Heng immediately took Lin Yuesha to hide, and after the patrolling person left, he said: "Lady, it's not just about money."

War horses have always been under the management of the Northwest Army, and now that such a big mistake has occurred, it is not something a small guy can do.

Ever since Wang Jinhu and Wang Binglan went to another race and Helian City was defeated, the two also lost news.

Wang Jinhu has been in the army for many years, and Qi Heng is not very clear about how many cards he has. Some people hide too deeply, and maybe they have not been discovered.

Today's Daqi is only calm on the surface, but the dark tide is turbulent behind his back.

Qi Heng originally decided to stay in Wuzhou, but now he has a new idea.

Finding out the intricate relationship behind it can't be solved in a few days, but also needs to follow the vines and make a long-term plan.

"But the people of Sun Family Village, do you have to give me an explanation?"

Lin Yuesha thinks what Qi Heng said is reasonable, but if she seeks justice for the people of the Sun family village, the Shen family's secret activities cannot be hidden.

The Sun family's father and son ran to the fishing village to file a complaint because they had no choice but to stand idly by.

The couple were about to leave when they suddenly noticed dozens of torches lit up not far away, dogs barking frequently and noisy.

"Quick, someone broke in, arrest him, don't let this person escape!"

"Quick, chase!"

Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha glanced at each other. The two of them hid very well. Who was the patrolling man chasing after?
Someone broke into it late at night, could it be that people from Sunjia Village have returned?
No matter who it is, it must not fall into the hands of these people, otherwise it will be silenced.

However, Qi Heng wanted to calm down the matter, so he didn't want to scare the snake for the time being, and the sudden intruder ruined the original plan.

Lin Yuesha had a headache, and she couldn't do anything about it, because the patrolling people had already rushed here.

In front, a small man in black clothes sprang out. The small man ran very fast, but he was not familiar with the terrain, and he ran around like a headless chicken, and couldn't find his way out for a while.

The man ran towards Lin Yuesha, but Qi Heng grabbed his arm.
