Wei An didn't take it seriously.
She had met many princesses.
From An He in the previous life to Princess Changying Chang'an in this life, all of them were defeated by her without exception.
The princess is also a human being, and as a human being she has weaknesses.
Besides, Princess Yonghe didn't need anyone to fight her. She was just a little girl with love in her heart. Although she could kill the master with random punches, the lethality was a little greater.
But when it comes to dealing with it, you really don't have to put too much thought into it.
She finished writing the last stroke, stuffed the letter into the envelope, sealed it with wax, and stamped it with her own seal before it dried. She handed it to Lan He and said, "Give it to Tan Xi and tell him to be careful and give it to Young Master Lin."
Young Master Lin was going to the south to inspect the salt. She had wanted to remind him of something before, but she just couldn't remember it at the moment. It was not until yesterday that she figured out the key, so she wanted to write a letter to tell him immediately.
Lan He received the letter and was about to go out when she saw Qingyu coming. With a rare serious look, she asked Wei An to go to He'an Courtyard.
After greeting in the morning, he said he was going to talk to the old lady. The second and third masters were still in Old Lady Wei's room. Wei An knew something was wrong, nodded calmly, changed his clothes, and went to He'an Courtyard without any delay.
It was somewhat surprising that I saw Chu Jingwu as soon as I entered the door.
Chu Jingwu seldom comes here. Because of his special status, people tend to think too much about whoever he interacts with. He himself understands this very well, so he has always paid attention to these things.
There must be something very important that can make him ignore these taboos temporarily.
And this is very important, and it concerns the Wei family. Chu Jingwu was able to come to the Wei family to discuss the matter. Wei An's heart tightened ----- Shen Chen.
As expected, Chu Jingwu stood up as soon as he saw her. Although he tried to suppress his emotions, he still said anxiously, "My second brother is in trouble."
Something happened.
Old Madam Wei and the second and third masters all looked unhappy.
Shen Chen is an angel, an imperial envoy, who is on his way to Fujian in person with the imperial decree. But now, on only the fifth day after he set out on the journey, something went wrong.
This is a slap in the face of the imperial court - the imperial court actually sent such an incompetent playboy to the Fujian Maritime Customs!
This is also a slap in the face of Prince Linjiang - raising a son like this!
Liu Biping was so arrogant, did he know that the imperial court couldn't do anything to him
As early as when Chu Jingwu appeared, Wei An knew that something must have happened to Shen Chen. Now that Chu Jingwu said it, she was not surprised. She was silent for a moment and then asked: "When did it happen, and what happened?"
Chu Jingwu said hurriedly: "Last night, Han Bo came back and said something happened in Dongchang..."
Calculating the distance traveled, Shen Chen and his companions had traveled in wind and rain for several days and were almost at Dongchang.
Wei An was still calm. He hummed and raised his head to ask him, "Where is Han Bo? Let him come to see me."
Chu Jingwu was a little out of control. In his heart, his second brother was much closer to him than his eldest brother. He grew up with Shen Chen since he was a child. Shen Chen treated him well, and he also treated Shen Chen well.
In his eyes, the relationship between blood and family is not as important as the feelings they have had for more than ten years.
Therefore, when he learned that Shen Chen was in trouble, he panicked and did not think about these things for a while. Now Wei An was calm and could immediately see that he was unstable. He immediately felt like he was poured with a basin of cold water, from head to toe, and he woke up instantly.
Yes, this was of no help now. The more hurried he was, the more likely he was to make mistakes.
Therefore, he calmed down after a moment and replied, "Yes, I'll let Han Bo come over."
Wei An asked again: "Is Han Bo the only one who came back? The court sent the Jinyiwei and Yulinwei to escort him. There is no reason for them to have been in trouble, right?"
Although some of these Yulin Guards and Jinyi Guards were hidden positions, most of them were selected based on their own abilities. Especially the Jinyi Guards, they all had high skills and they couldn't be wiped out by everyone.
Chu Jingwu had completely calmed down by this time, and answered Wei An's questions one by one: "It happened at the Dongchang Posthouse. That night, my second brother went to rest after dinner. Who knew that he disappeared the next day, and we found knockout incense in the room where he stayed. That night, the Jinyiwei and Yulinwei were all asleep, and we checked the leftovers and found knockout drugs. They didn't dare to delay, and first looked around to see if there was anyone suspicious, but when they found nothing, they sent someone back to report that Han Bo came back alone."
Aphrodisiac incense, knockout drug.
These people were well prepared.
The second and third masters could not help but be shocked: "Marquis Pingxi is an imperial envoy, but he has to travel quickly and it is difficult to calculate his pace. Who can calculate his whereabouts so accurately and even ambush him in advance and prepare incense and other things? This is not something that can be done casually."
Chu Jingwu frowned.
"It's not difficult." Wei An analyzed calmly: "There is not only one Liu Biping in Fujian, but also many others, and their interests are the same. It may be difficult for one person to do this, but if multiple forces are mixed together, it is not so impossible to disrupt the imperial court's sending of imperial envoys to Fujian."
Mrs. Wei was very perceptive: "You mean, people from Fujian?"
Wei An nodded and then shook his head: "Not necessarily, maybe... ..it was the Japanese pirates."
Japanese pirates?!
What a joke.
Although there were occasional Japanese pirates roaming around Shandong, their scale was negligible compared to the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang. How could it be that they were done by the Japanese pirates
And if it was really the Japanese pirates who took action, why would the noise be so small
This doesn't make sense!
"What's reasonable?" Wei An saw through their thoughts and sneered, "Liu Biping condoned pirates and colluded with the Peng and Yi families to smuggle. Is this reasonable? He accepted the silver sent by the Japanese pirates. Is this reasonable?"
All of this is illogical, but has anyone pointed it out? No.
Liu Biping saw through this and knew that the court would not completely break off with him until it was absolutely necessary, so he was so unscrupulous.
Chu Jingwu couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "He has to pay the price!"
But now is not the time to think about what price they will pay. Chu Jingwu is more worried about the safety of his second brother, so he hurriedly asked Wei An: "The accident happened two days ago. Han Bo ran back desperately in these two days. In two days..."
A lot can happen in two days. For example, whether Shen Chen is still alive or not is a question.
The second master and the third master understood what he said, and they couldn't help but look at Wei An with worry on their faces, their hearts skipping a beat.
Old Mrs. Wei's face also looked unhappy. She frowned and said nothing.
We are so far away and I have no idea what the situation is. Even if I want to comfort myself and say that everything will be fine, I don't have the confidence to do so.
