Xuesong rushed in after getting permission. When he saw Shen Chen and Wei An, he stopped and said to them, "My Lord, Princess, something happened. Liu Biping returned to Rongcheng in advance and went to the posthouse in person, saying that he wanted to see you!"
Want to see Shen Chen? !
At this time, Liu Biping did not stay in Qinghe County, but chose to return to Rongcheng
He trusted his men so much that he dared to let them deliver the letter to Qunshan in person and then let Qunshan intercept the official ship
Wei An was a little surprised, but also somewhat understood.
Everyone said that Governor Liu loved his son dearly, and Mrs. Liu also said that if Liu Biping knew that his son was missing, he would definitely look for him at all costs. Now it seems that this was not an exaggeration at all.
She didn't panic. She glanced at Shen Chen and asked him, "Do you think he will force his way in?"
Shen Chen shook his head: "It's hard to explain at the moment, but even if he wants to force his way in, he may not succeed. Before I came, I had already mobilized 2,000 imperial guards into the city on the pretext that Governor Liu was seeking revenge and had his personal soldiers besiege the imperial envoy in the post station. With the help of the Xu, Chen, and Wang families, as well as the Liu family, they didn't dare to let Liu Biping in."
Liu Biping should just be suspicious now, and it is not to the point where he has to use force to break in.
He comforted Wei An, but also stood up: "But in case something goes wrong over there, I should go back. Don't worry, I can still control it over there, you don't have to worry."
Wei An nodded, helped Shen Chen onto the horse, then stood under the eaves and frowned.
Liu Biping's concern for the young master was expected, but also unexpected.
Although this person is cruel and cold-hearted, he can do this to his son. He even abandons such a big plan for his son.
Wei An didn't know whether to call him stupid or be thankful that he had grasped his weakness with such accuracy. He raised his eyebrows and ordered Lan He and Yu Qing: "Give the order to keep a close eye on Madam Liu. No mistakes can be made!"
Although she also lives here now, she has to be cautious in everything she does. After all, Liu Biping is a formidable opponent.
Lan He and Yu Qing looked at each other and responded in agreement.
After waiting for a while, he whispered to Wei An to go back: "It's cold and windy at night, and it's almost dawn. You should take a good rest first, and deal with the next matter after dawn."
Liu Biping, who had always been concerned about by Wei An and Shen Chen, was almost collapsed with anxiety.
His chief of personal guards had ordered the city of Rong to be turned upside down and searched over and over again, but to no avail.
The maids and old women who had served Madam Liu when she went to burn incense had been beaten half to death, but nothing could be learned from them.
Apart from the little information about Luo Yuan that was asked at the beginning, there was no other new information.
But it seemed that a day and a night had passed since Madam Liu and the young master disappeared!
One day and one night! This time is enough to do countless things. If he delays any longer, he dare not think about what will happen in the future!
Because of this, even the chief guard was a little nervous when facing him.
Liu Biping suppressed his anger, took the tea handed to him by the chief guard, took a sip, and asked, "Is Shen Chen still playing coward?"
Finally he was willing to speak. The head of the imperial guards breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace, and quickly replied: "The imperial envoy has been staying indoors, saying that..."
He glanced at Liu Biping, then coughed and continued to speak: "The imperial envoy said that you wanted to seek revenge for your personal grudge. You said that you wanted to search for the whereabouts of the young master and his wife, but who knows if you actually wanted to take revenge on him, the imperial envoy who offended you, so you have been refusing to meet him."
Liu Biping laughed coldly, and his whole person looked even gloomier.
Shen Chen is not the kind of person who would just hide when encountering problems.
Is there something fishy going on here
He raised his eyebrows, looked at the finger for a while, and then calmly ordered: "Go and tell the imperial envoy that he is worrying too much. If the imperial envoy is really worried about this, there is no need to worry. Hasn't the imperial envoy already mobilized the guards? How dare we, as subjects, disrespect the imperial envoy? Please understand my fatherly heart and dispel my doubts. If he insists on not agreeing..."
When Liu Biping said this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said stiffly: "Then there is no need to be polite, use fire attack. I don't believe that he can still sit still and act like a hermit when the fire is about to burn down the entire posthouse!"
He was suspicious, suspecting that Shen Chen was related to Madam Liu's disappearance. The chief guard had been with him for a long time, and he knew what he meant when he spoke and gave orders. He quickly responded and asked him, "Minister, what about Qinghe County..."
What's happening over there is the real big deal. After Qunshan and his men rob the grain and money loaned to Zhejiang, they will have to go and take over.
After all, those people in Qunshan are pirates. No matter how much they obey Liu Biping, it is hard for them to change their evil nature. If they become greedy and eat Liu Biping's food and money, Liu Biping will suffer a huge loss.
In the past, Liu Biping would not allow any mistakes in such an important matter and would definitely keep an eye on it personally. But now that his favorite son was missing, he really couldn't take care of him.
But he couldn't care less, and those of his servants could not just sit back and watch him make mistakes. They were all on the same boat, and whoever was unlucky would not benefit from it.
He had to remind Liu Biping.
Liu Biping calmed down from his rage and said after a while, "Don't worry about them. They don't have the guts. Although Qunshan is now strong, his parents are still in his hometown in Fujian. He knows that he can be so arrogant because of my help. But since I can lift him up, I can also suppress him."
The chief of the personal guards still felt that it was inappropriate - people tend to change once they have achieved their goals, and the mountains are no longer the same as they used to be. This can be seen from the fact that he was asked to do something this time.
He actually wanted to put forward conditions first. How could he have had the courage to do so in the past
But now he even knows how to raise the price. Now that he can do such a thing, isn't it only natural for him to forget his principles for the sake of profit
He still coughed dutifully and said, "Minister, the mountains are just pirates after all... ..wolves travel a thousand miles to eat people, dogs travel a thousand miles to eat shit, I'm afraid it's hard to change their nature, shouldn't we... ...still be on guard?"
Liu Biping was getting a little impatient, but he knew that what the chief guard said made sense, so he nodded with a straight face.
