Wei An would not let Old Lady Wei feel regretful and desperate. She was a very affectionate person. If someone treated her well, she would definitely repay them double.
At this moment, what she thought about was that she must not wait until Old Lady Wei woke up, she had to go to Quanzhou by herself.
Shen Chen felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and his usually calm eyes were filled with surging anger: "I will take care of this matter, don't go."
Wei An knew that Shen Chen was worried, so she sighed and shook her head: "It's useless."
After a pause, she pulled her hand back from Shen Chen's, frowned and looked at him, and said softly: "You and I both know that Quanzhou has always been under Liu Biping's nose. There have been constant conflicts between us, and after Mr. Hu's death, it was even more like a falling out. Even if there is nothing wrong, he might still make trouble. What's more, now that something has really happened, it's useless for you to send someone, he will definitely interfere, and in the end he will still lead me and my grandmother there in person. If he is forced into a corner, he will really order the city to be burned..."
Wei An remained calm, pursing his lips and smiling: "Besides, the things here cannot be separated from you. Your instigation is beginning to bear fruit. The Xu family may have agreed to work for us. As long as the Xu family is willing to contribute, the other three families will sooner or later fall apart, and then the matter of the Maritime Customs will be easily resolved."
They cannot divide their attention too much. If the Maritime Customs matter fails, people in the capital will think Shen Chen is incompetent.
Emperor Longqing's mood became more and more unpredictable. Because he took too many elixirs and the endless fighting in the harem, he became more and more unreasonable. As long as things did not develop according to his expectations, he would easily get angry.
We have finally gotten things to this point, and now everything is about to come to light, and we cannot make any mistakes.
Only if the general direction is correct, will their future things be smoother.
"Don't be impulsive." Wei An looked at him, stood quietly for a while, and then exhaled and said: "I went to Quanzhou to visit my relatives in the name of the princess. Even if they want to burn the city, they must bring me out safely. Otherwise, it will be a crime. In all things, we should act straight."
Shen Chen stared at Wei An motionlessly with his eyes that seemed to be able to speak. After an unknown amount of time, he took a step back, lowered his voice, and said without any emotion: "I will come to you after I finish dealing with things here."
This is what Wei An promised to do, that he would go to Quanzhou by himself.
Lan He and Yu Qing looked at each other and felt a little uneasy.
After all, it was a big deal. If Shen Chen wasn't there, they would always feel a little scared. Fujian was Liu Biping's territory after all. Although Wei An said that she could go there openly and Liu Biping didn't dare to do anything to her, it's always better to be safe than sorry... ...
How could Shen Chen just let go
The clerk over there was also holding his breath and telling Liu Biping the result: "The inspector had the body moved away, and asked the coroner from the prefectural government to perform an autopsy. The documents were issued, and the postmen who poisoned the post were caught... ... I don't know if they will reveal anything."
He is very worried.
After all, too many things had happened during the time that Shen Chen had been here. He always felt that Shen Chen was too troublesome.
Liu Biping showed a sneer on his face and closed his eyes. He waited until the maid behind him had finished massaging him. Then he raised his head, took the ginseng tea handed over by the maid and drank a sip. He said coldly, "Don't worry about him. Let him write whatever he wants."
The chief of the imperial guards came in at that moment, and without even bothering to greet him, he told Liu Biping, "Minister, God is really helping me. The disease is spreading very quickly. Three counties in Quanzhou have already been sealed off and burned."
This means that if Wei An gets the plague, he will die.
I'm dying of the plague, who can I blame
All in all, it's just my bad luck.
If you really want to vent your anger on someone, then vent your anger on the prefect of Quanzhou.
They were angry at Madam Wei and wanted to spread the plague to Wei An, so she had to take the risk. Who forced her to go? Who told her to go to the tiger mountain even though she knew there was a tiger there
If you don't have any of these, then if something goes wrong, there's no other way except to bear it yourself.
Liu Biping sneered, his eyes were cold, and murderous intent spread little by little. He put the ginseng tea on the table next to him and said lightly: "Watch closely. This plague was discovered more than half a month ago. The prefect of Quanzhou knew about it but did not report it. He even wanted to conceal it before. This is his dereliction of duty. This is also the opportunity he gave us. If Wei An goes there, if she doesn't get infected with the plague, she must be considered infected."
Liu Biping looked cold, and after a moment he added: "Have you contacted them?"
The chief of the personal guards lowered his head and coughed, "We have contacted them. They are also very anxious because of Zhejiang's continuous offensive. They are almost desperate. I heard that we gave them a way out, and they are very reasonable."
The world is bustling with people all seeking profit. As pirates, they value plundering, their old business, more than anything else.
Zhejiang is well defended, and the area to the south is also well defended. They have nowhere to go, but they can't go back to Japan - that barren place. The daimyos are now fighting each other, and the Japanese pirates were forced into a desperate battle because there was nothing to rob. Although these pirates are superior to the daimyos, there is really nothing to rob.
If they could grab a business in Fujian, kidnap a group of people, and then return to their lair in Japan, it would be a huge temptation, and there is no doubt that those people would not agree.
This is another killer move of Liu Biping.
Even if the plague could not kill Wei An, he wanted these people to kill Wei An and Shen Chen-----he would pass on the news of these pirates' invasion of Quanzhou to Shen Chen.
Will Shen Chen not save Wei An
He won't, he must go.
Even if he had 3,000 imperial guards, so what? Compared to the pirates, they didn't know the local terrain, didn't know when the tide would rise and when it would fall, and there was also the plague, so they couldn't do anything at all.
By that time, he could only lead a small number of people to Quanzhou.
At that time, even if the pirates did not kill them, he would take the opportunity to make the child's identity public and write a memorial to Emperor Longqing.
It's just the right time.
Although Emperor Longqing had rehabilitated the Ming family, that was after all the members of the Ming family had died. If he knew that there were still people in the Ming family alive, and that Old Lady Wei had been hiding it from him.
What would Emperor Longqing think
He would not let Old Madam Wei go. In his eyes, everything the Wei family had done before was done with ulterior motives and was just a trick. He would definitely kill Old Madam Wei as soon as possible.
Even Shen Chen, who had always been in his favor, would never have a good ending.
