In the inn, Wen Qingzhu finally made the words on the document appear.
To her surprise, it just said a normal thing.
Ask Yan Yongzhang about the direction of this year-end report.
Wen Qingzhu felt that things must not be that simple, so he sent someone to ask Yan Yongzhang to come over.
Unexpectedly, when Yan Yongzhang came over, he looked very frightened.
He was pushed through the door.
When he looked up and saw Wen Qingzhu, he immediately knelt down and stammered: "Sir, sir, I am... I am..."
"How?" Wen Qingzhu knew that there must be some grudge between Yan Yongzhang and Tang Qin.
But I was still a little surprised to see him like this.
Yan Yongzhang said with a face as pale as paper: "It's really not Tang Xiao who I sent to kill! It's not me! It's not me..."
Wen Qingzhu put down the paperwork in his hand and ordered the door to be closed.
At the same time, he said to Yan Yongzhang: "Let's not mention the Tang family's affairs for now. Our first thing is to prepare supplies as soon as possible, attract people and merchants, and cooperate with Dingyuan to prepare for a long-term war.
The second thing is to judge your crime based on your merits and demerits. This matter will take place at least in the second half of next year, so you don't have to worry at all.
The last step is to investigate Tang Xiao. Did you hear clearly? "
After saying this, Yan Yongzhang was stunned.
But he had been an official for so many years and was not a wooden fish. He quickly understood what Wen Qingzhu meant and knew that Wen Qingzhu had given him a chance to make up for his mistakes.
Yan Yongzhang suddenly regained his energy, raised his hand and said to Wen Qingzhu: "We must devote ourselves to death before we die."
"That's not necessary. Look at this." Wen Qingzhu turned around and threw the paperwork on the table to him.
After receiving the paperwork, Yan Yongzhang trembled when he saw that it was from Texas.
After reading through it, Yan Yongzhang asked with luck in his heart: "Sir, isn't this a normal inquiry? Is there no big problem?"
Seeing his response, a sneer appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face: "It seems that Master Yan and Master Liu have a good relationship. Such an ordinary document should be encrypted. It seems that there is an even more ulterior secret hidden there."
"Sir, please calm down!" Yan Yongzhang knelt down again, not daring to raise his head.
Wen Qingzhu was impatient and stood up directly and said: "Yan Yongzhang, I don't have time to argue with you here. From tomorrow on, if you are not cooperative at all, I will send you directly to the capital and let people from Dali Temple investigate."
Before Yan Yongzhang could reply, Wen Qingzhu ordered people to drag him out.
After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu had a headache.
The situation in Yunzhou City is temporarily under control, but there are still more problems.
The first is insufficient population.
Early the next morning, Yang Liu sent Shen Jiao's body over.
Wen Qingzhu followed Jasmine downstairs and soon saw an acquaintance.
She walked over quickly, looked at the man wearing a bamboo hat in front of her and asked, "Brother Xie? Why are you here?"
"The matter on the Wen Alliance leader's side has almost been settled, and Miss Gan Song got her wish. I was entrusted by the Wen Union leader to send Miss Gan Song back. On the way, I inquired about the affairs in Yangzhou. I learned that you were here, so I stopped by to take a look. It’s up to you.”
Xie Feichen looked at Wen Qingzhu, his tired expression suddenly softened a lot.
Originally he didn't want to rest, but Wen Qingzhu knew from the look on his face that Xie Feichen was on the road continuously.
After resting all morning at Yunzhou Inn, Wen Qingzhu sent someone to invite Merchant Chen over.
Usually the coffin is used to hold the dead. In order to make it easier to carry, Wen Qingzhu made a full-length wooden box.
Wen Qingzhu pointed to the box next to him and said, "Inside this is the person I want you to take."
Merchant Chen took a look and secretly smelled the smell here.
No odor at all.
"Okay." Merchant Chen nodded directly without hesitation.
When he was about to leave, Wen Qingzhu called him: "Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something. Maybe Boss Chen can help."
"What's the matter?" Merchant Chen's tone sounded like he didn't want to hear more.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and asked him to sit down: "Why don't you sit down and talk."
"No! Just say it." Obviously, he didn't want to stay any longer.
Seeing him resisting so much, Wen Qingzhu was helpless.
I thought about forgetting it, but Xie Feichen beside me suddenly said: "You are the son of Chen An's family in Yangzhou, right?"
"Who are you?!" Upon hearing Xie Feichen's words, Merchant Chen immediately took a step back and stared at him warily.
Apart from the people who came with him, how come anyone knows his identity
Wen Qingzhu was also a little surprised: "Brother Xie knows him?"
Xie Feichen took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealed his face, cupped his hands to Merchant Chen and said, "Brother Chen, long time no see."
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Merchant Chen was startled: "Fei Chen? How did your voice recover?"
Xie Feichen explained apologetically: "I'm really sorry. When I met Brother Chen before, I had to pretend that I couldn't speak because of the special circumstances."
Merchant Chen looked at Xie Feichen and then at Wen Qingzhu with complicated expressions in his eyes.
He originally wanted to ask you, a man of martial arts, how can you be with someone like Wen Qingzhu
But thinking that everyone has their own secrets and difficulties, just like him, he was originally a young master from an official family.
Because his father didn't want to be complicit and was framed by others, he was forced to wander the world.
I thought there was no hope of revenge in this life, but in the end, the Shen family of Yangzhou helped the Chen family redress their grievances, allowing my father to smile.
The Chen family is a well-known family in Suzhou, but they have been implicated a lot because of their father's case.
Now the Chen family has fallen apart and is in disarray. Only because he wanted to repay his kindness, he took the business route.
The three of them were silent for a while, and then Wen Qingzhu said: "The matter is not complicated, but when the time comes, you will need to contact the Shen family, and this person will be sent to the Shen family."
Merchant Chen's expression suddenly became strange: "Giving someone to the Shen family?"
Wen Qingzhu knew that he was from Yangzhou, but he didn't know that he was secretly related to the Shen family.
She turned around and took out a token and a letter, handed it to Merchant Chen and said, "Take this, and when you get to Yangzhou, go and meet a cloth merchant named Wu."
Merchant Chen stood still, looking at the token in her hand, his expression becoming more solemn.
After a long while, he asked: "Where did you get this token?"
"You know?" Wen Qingzhu felt something strange.
Merchant Chen took a deep breath and said: "The boss Wu you want to contact is my friend, but he also came to me and will not directly take over your things. I am now the invisible person who delivers letters and things for the Shen family."
"Hidden person?" Wen Qingzhu heard this word for the first time.
Xie Feichen had a lot of contact with Yangzhou before, and he also knew a little about the Shen family: "The hidden people are people strictly selected by the Shen family according to certain conditions. They travel around the country, delivering messages and goods, etc. Within the Shen family, people were assigned layer by layer to form a special team with a special chain structure.
For example, among A, B, C and D, A only knows B, but B only knows A and C, and C only knows B and D. Finally, D is responsible for doing things. After the things are done, he will give feedback and push them up layer by layer.
Except for person A at the beginning, the rest of the people are invisible people. They have various identities, do things as required, and send back the results after completion. "
"Is it so powerful?" Wen Qingzhu was amazed.
For the Shen family to become the richest man in the country, there must be something extraordinary about it. However, Wen Qingzhu was shocked when she suddenly heard about the Shen family's method.
"The hidden people of the Shen family are slowly being disintegrated. Not many people in my group are left. I came here to do other things, but this token was given to me."
Merchant Chen glanced at the wooden box in front of him and wondered, who is this person
Why send it back to the Shen family
"Then why are you willing to reveal your identity now?" Wen Qingzhu asked again.
Chen Keshang's expression dropped: "There is a big problem within the Shen family. My mission this time is to cut off some core industries related to the Shen family. After completing this mission and returning home, I will not be invisible, but this token in your hand Appearing here shows that you need me, and then the Shen family may have more than just a problem."
"You guessed it right. Jing Yinuo, the heir to the Shen family, is controlled by someone. The Shen family is in danger, so you came here to carry out this task."
Wen Qingzhu also planned to hide it from him: "Since you are the contact person, I should sue you directly. Anyway, you will know by then that the person here is Shen Jiao."
Merchant Chen suddenly raised his head and denied in disbelief: "Impossible!"
He looked at the token in Wen Qingzhu's hand and said, "This token was given by Miss Shen. If she hadn't given the mission, how could you have this!?"
"Is your mission dispatcher Shen Jiao?" Wen Qingzhu was slightly confused.
Merchant Chen didn't say anything, he just stared at the wooden box in confusion, his hands trembling slightly.
Xie Feichen walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Chen, the person here is indeed Shen Jiao. Miss Shen's last wish is to rescue Mr. Jing, but Qingzhu believes that it is better to find a way for Miss Shen." Send it back before we talk about it, the fallen leaves will return to their roots and be laid to rest."
"Impossible!" Merchant Chen's eyes turned red, and he clenched his hands tightly. Veins popped up on his forehead and back of his hands. He looked extremely forbearing.
Looking at his reaction, Wen Qingzhu realized that Shen Jiao was more likely to be his benefactor.
Could it be that Shen Jiao solved the Chen family's affairs
No matter what happened, Wen Qingzhu still had to say what he needed to say.
She walked over and stuffed the token and envelope into his hand: "Since you are the contact person, everything is easy to talk about. You can send the person over. Jing Yinuo will have countermeasures after seeing Shen Jiao.
Another thing is that there is a substitute for flying leaf grass in Yangzhou. You should pay attention here and buy it first if necessary. "
Merchant Chen slowly turned his head and said in a hoarse voice: "If this is the case, you don't have to worry, that substitute is owned by an uncle of mine. He knows the dangers of this thing and will not let it go easily. "
Wen Qingzhu, who was a little worried at first, didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy when he heard what he said.
It was by chance that she met Merchant Chen, and the two things she had to deal with were all on him.
For the first time, Wen Qingzhu felt an inexplicable sense of luck.
After seeing off Merchant Chen, Xie Feichen turned to her and said, "Qingzhu, I also want to go to Yangzhou and set off with Brother Chen."
"Why do you want to leave? Is there anything going on over there in Yangzhou?" Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange. Xie Feichen seemed to be doing something.
"You don't have to worry about my family's affairs. I've also visited the Medicine God Valley. Wen Mingliang's leg has recovered well, and Miao Miao is taking care of him now."
When Xue Miaomiao was mentioned, Xie Feichen's expression became more complicated.
But the smoke quickly disappeared, and he picked up his bamboo hat again and chased Merchant Chen.
After seeing them off, Wen Qingzhu went back to the room and sat down.
The whole inn is extremely quiet.
Starting yesterday, Boss Yi has successively arranged for other people to go to another branch.
Ever since Wen Qingzhu's identity was exposed, Boss Yi easily took over a previously closed inn.
In order to provide her with a good environment, only Wen Qingzhu and the Fu Jiajun who were guarding lived here.
Thinking back on what happened just now, Wen Qingzhu suddenly realized that she had never known Merchant Chen's name.
