While the court was arguing over whether to kill Shen Hai or recruit him, Master Bai Qi, who was far away in Quanzhou, also received the news. He was finally able to relax a little from the fatigue and worry of the past few days. He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyebrows to look at Qin Feng: "Is everything settled in the capital? There won't be any more accidents, right?"
Nothing has been going well recently, and Mr. Bai Qi can't help but feel a little uneasy about the situation.
Qin Feng also understood his godfather's concerns, and hurriedly said, "No one expected that Shen Hai would suddenly launch a massive attack on Zhangzhou this time. It is said that there are more than 3,000 casualties and missing people in Zhangzhou. You can imagine how much uproar this news will cause when it reaches the capital. Originally, everyone was paying attention to Madam Chen, so the case progressed so quickly. Now that this news has reached the capital, who will care about Madam Chen's life or death? Taking advantage of this opportunity, Madam Chen feels that the case has not progressed for a long time, and it is possible that she is upset for a while."
Killing a few people has long been a piece of cake for them and they don't feel any burden at all.
If killing Mrs. Chen could solve the current dilemma, there would be no need for any hesitation in making this decision.
Mr. Bai Qi thought the same.
He snorted, narrowed his eyes, and asked Qin Feng again: "Still no news from the young master?"
Young Master Xiao said that he went out for a trip and has not been seen for several days.
Master Bai Qi knew Young Master Xiao's temper. He was obviously venting his dissatisfaction by doing this, but at this moment, he was really worried about Young Master Xiao going out alone.
Qin Feng nodded with some embarrassment: "Godfather also knows that if the young master is determined to do something, how can the people below stop him? And the young master specifically forbade them to reveal the news to us..."
It is even more impossible to find Young Master Xiao.
Master Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, thinking that Master Xiao was too willful.
"Go ahead and ask around. If you have any news, report back immediately. We can't let the young master go on like this." Master Bai Qi rubbed his brows, and when he heard a knock on the door, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Come in."
Qin Chong walked in quickly and said softly, "Godfather, Skinny is back."
The thin guy is Deng Shoucheng, his confidant at the dog farm in the suburbs of Beijing.
Master Bai Qi immediately said, "Let him in!"
Qin Chong agreed and brought Deng Shoucheng in after a while.
"Seventh Master!" As soon as he saw Bai Qiye, Deng Shoucheng flew to Bai Qiye, knelt down and kowtowed without any pause: "Seventh Master, I finally see you!"
Although it was a bit exaggerated, the kowtow was sincere and real. Master Bai Qi's expression eased and he hummed and let him stand up: "Why are you back?"
Deng Shoucheng kowtowed again, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Master Bai Qi: "Lord Wang asked me to come back to avoid the limelight. Master Qi, we have fulfilled his mission and got that woman..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Mrs. Chen is dead?!
Master Bai Qi immediately stood up, changing his previous calmness, raised an eyebrow and asked: "Really?!"
Master Bai Qi did instruct Lord Wang to seize the opportunity to get rid of Madam Chen, but he did not expect it to be so easy to accomplish. After all, the people in the capital are not fools. Madam Chen is so important that she should be given special protection.
Qin Feng and Qin Chong couldn't help but smile with joy.
If Mrs. Chen is really dead, then the current dilemma will be solved, which is indeed the best good news.
Deng Shoucheng grinned with some pride: "It's the real Seventh Master! That Madam Chen is so self-righteous that she refused to live in the inn and rented a house for herself." He lowered his voice and said: "It's near the Wong Tai Sin Temple..."
The area near Wong Tai Sin Temple is a gathering place for all kinds of people, so naturally there are people from Ju Hai Manor who are specifically there to keep an eye on and do things for them.
When Mr. Bai Qi thought about Chen Chong's character, he felt that it was reasonable for Mrs. Chen to do such a thing.
"Scar and I followed her for a few days and confirmed that no one was following her to protect her, so we found an opportunity and dragged her to the abandoned ancient well in the back mountain." Deng Shoucheng said with a beaming face: "She is dead, rest assured, Master Qi!"
"Okay!" Master Bai Qi took a deep look at Deng Shoucheng and laughed heartily: "You are a smart boy. I was right about you! Now what about the capital..."
"Lord Wang told me to get out of the spotlight. Scar also ran away. I thought he just came to the dog farm to work halfway, so I didn't dare to bring him to Quanzhou. So I found an excuse to let him go back to his hometown. If you still need him at that time, I know where to find him." Deng Shoucheng smiled and said, "Seventh Master, that woman is dead, so we have nothing to be afraid of. Lord Wang said that the princess is urging you to go back, saying that she has been looking for you for a long time."
Mr. Bai Qi nodded, without making any comment, and just asked Qin Feng to take Deng Shoucheng away to rest.
After Deng Shoucheng happily followed Qin Feng away, Master Bai Qi immediately told Qin Chong: "Go to the posthouse and wait. If there is any news from the capital, report to me immediately."
Qin Chong agreed immediately.
Two days later, Mr. Bai Qi was holding the letter from the capital, and he smiled with satisfaction, and the anger in his heart finally dissipated.
Lord Wang's letter revealed that Madam Chen was indeed dead. Now that the Ministry of Justice had lost its victim, it naturally could not get to the bottom of the matter. Xu Fengqing also insisted that the owner of Juhai Manor was undoubtedly the Huizhou merchant, and the reason why he allowed the kidnapper to send girls to Juhai Manor was because the Huizhou merchant gave him a huge sum of money.
Mr. Bai Qi slammed the letter on the table and couldn't help laughing.
Yes, he said that he had arranged everything and there shouldn't be any mistakes. Now it seems that there really are no mistakes.
Very good!
He called Qin Feng and Qin Chong and said, "Pack up your things and go back to the capital."
Qin Feng was a little surprised: "Godfather, won't you wait a little longer?"
Although it seems that this case will not be involved any further, we should wait a little longer for safety reasons.
Mr. Bai Qi shook his head firmly, he couldn't wait any longer.
Young Master Xiao's attitude and the loss of more than a dozen merchant ships told him that he could not wait any longer.
What's more, there are important matters waiting for him to deal with in the capital - he still needs to contact Lord Yuan.
There are also deals that had already been negotiated with several merchants from the Western Regions that need to be further discussed when we return.
These matters are urgent. If this incident had not happened, these matters should have been completed long ago and cannot be delayed any further.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Qin Feng and Qin Chong had nothing more to say. They turned around and went back to pack their things. Master Bai Qi also sent someone to deliver a letter to Master Xiao's house.
