Chapter 227
Xiao Jinyan looked at Li Yuezhu who was gnashing his teeth: "Don't worry, I will leave them to you."
Xiao Jinyan knew very well that Li Yuezhu was a person who wanted to take revenge. If she was not allowed to take revenge personally, this girl would definitely feel uncomfortable.
The main wife of the Wu family, Mrs. Wu, has disappeared. This matter has been suppressed by Wu Qingchun. If he had known, he would not have allowed his wife to go back to find that evil girl.
"Father, my mother has been missing for three days and three nights. Why are you still sitting in the house?"
Wu Minzhen ran into the house and asked questions repeatedly.
"You stinky girl, is this your attitude when talking to your father? Where has your upbringing gone?"
Wu Qingchun was upset. Recently, the superiors had been investigating closely, and they actually found Lin Ping.
He just bought an official position for Lin Ping, who was of course a man of no rank and no rank, so that he could hang out in the capital and not cause trouble for him all day long.
You must know that Lin Ping has a direct relationship with him. The eighth concubine in Wu Qingchun's room is Lin Ping's sister. They are twins, so Wu Qingchun naturally wants to help.
I don’t know if the 10,000 taels of silver that Lin Ping Xiao paid last year have been properly dealt with. If another tail is missing and the people above follow the clues, it will really be the end of the game.
"Okay, father, what mother said is right. You really don't take her seriously. All you care about is the eighth concubine. I'll have someone drive that naughty fox out right now, hum!"
After saying this, Wu Minzhen turned around and left, completely ignoring Wu Qingchun's yelling and cursing behind her.
Although Wu Qingchun was not very fat, his legs and feet were naturally not as light as those of young people. He hurriedly caught up with his daughter, scolded her and drove her back to the boudoir.
"I will definitely tell my uncle about this!"
After Wu Minzhen was brought back to the house by an old woman, she screamed hysterically.
Wu Qingchun was naturally anxious that Mrs. Wu could not come back. Although he hoped from the bottom of his heart that this woman would never come back, he could not ignore the accountability from Mrs. Wu's natal family.
"What is this!"
Wu Qingchun sighed and returned to the study. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the study, someone came to report that the batch of silk and satin he bought privately from the south a while ago had been seized by officers and soldiers.
"What the hell are you doing!"
An attendant was kneeling on the ground. He only knew that there was something extraordinary in the batch of inferior silk, but he didn't know anything specific.
"Normally, these silks are transported by water. This time, for some reason, a group of soldiers suddenly came from Yabiukou and insisted on seizing our silks."
The attendant lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
"Haven't all the officers and soldiers along the road been taken care of? Why would anyone intercept us?"
Wu Qingchun was really furious. If these silks were searched by officers and soldiers, the target of the attack would definitely be pointed at him, Wu Qingchun!
"Everything has been taken care of. I don't even know what's going on!"
"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know after asking three questions! What's the use of you!" Wu Qingchun angrily threw the tea cup on the table at the attendant's face. He was now so angry that he couldn't breathe.
"Besides our silk, who else's stuff did they investigate and deal with?" Wu Qingchun glanced at the trembling servant: "If you still don't answer this time, I will rip out your tongue!"
Wu Qingchun seemed to be angry. He was always gentle and gentle, and he used this skin to deceive many people.
"No, no, no, no more."
The attendant said tremblingly, but Wu Qingchun trembled in fright.
"You mean those officers and soldiers only investigated and punished our family?"
"Yes, yes!"
It's over, it's all over now!
Wu Qingchun sat blankly on the Grand Master's chair. This was done deliberately by his superiors! It seemed that someone above him had begun to doubt him.
"No, no, I have to go to the Kaiguo County Government Office."
Wu Qingchun changed his clothes, and before leaving, he did not forget to take his crying daughter with him. He climbed into the sedan chair and went straight to the Kaiguo County Duke's Mansion.
"Did something happen to Dad?" Wu Minzhen still didn't come to her senses because of her father's scolding, but she saw her father running out in such a panic.
Wu Qingchun gathered his thoughts and looked at his daughter's clear eyes.
"Isn't your mother missing? Let's go to your grandpa's house and ask your uncle to look for her."
Wu Minzhen nodded repeatedly after hearing Wu Qingchun's words. Fortunately, her father had some conscience and knew to ask her grandfather for help.
Wu Qingchun was sitting on the sedan chair, but he was sweating all over.
Wu Minzhen also didn't expect that her father would care so much about her mother. After all, they were married, so their feelings were naturally still there.
When they arrived at the Kaiguo County Government House, Wu Minzhen cried to her grandfather as soon as she entered the door.
"Grandpa, my mother is missing. It's been three days and three nights. The people sent out to inquire can't be found. Could something have happened?"
Wu Minzhen's grandfather Zhang Yi also doted on this girl very much on weekdays, and he couldn't bear to see her cry.
"If Zhenzhen has anything to say, please tell me. Grandpa will definitely make the decision for you."
Wu Minzhen then stopped crying and told the story from beginning to end.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but frowned. Speaking of Ankang County, there were only a few people who couldn't be touched. Two days ago, I heard that the prince was coming out of Ankang County. From what I heard, the three of them didn't touch the gun.
Wu Qingchun took advantage of the old man to be distracted by thinking about the problem. He rolled his eyes and drove his daughter out, then approached his father-in-law and whispered:
"I have another difficult matter here, which may also be related to the disappearance of my wife."
Zhang Yi looked at his son-in-law with sharp eyes: "What's the matter?"
Wu Qingchun carefully observed his father-in-law's expression before speaking slowly.
"I had a batch of goods that was intercepted by officers and soldiers."
Zhang Yi just raised his eyebrows after hearing this. How could these two things be related? It seems that this worried son-in-law came to him for help regarding the disappearance of his daughter. In fact, it was for his batch.
Goods!
Wu Qingchun looked at the old man's furious expression and quickly continued.
"This is not an ordinary batch of goods!" Wu Qingchun wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This is a batch of silk on the surface, but in fact it contains official salt."
Wu Qingchun felt guilty when he said these words. Selling official salt in private was a serious crime that implicated the nine clans, but this official salt was a hugely profitable business. In just three years, he had earned more than he had earned in more than 20 years as an official.
"you you……"
Mr. Zhang trembled in his heart. He looked at Wu Qingchun and his eyes were filled with anger: "You are putting the lives of our whole family on the fire!"
Mr. Zhang was so angry that he couldn't say anything for a moment, he just felt a fire in his heart.
"I don't care if you sell official salt. After so many years as an official, no one has a way to make extra money. But since you know that official salt is the most shady thing, you should be careful about it on weekdays. How could it happen?
What a mistake!"
Wu Qingchun was so lectured that he couldn't hold his head up: "The past few years have been calm. I don't know what happened this time. With my wife missing and these official salts being detained, I always feel uncomfortable."
Zhang Yi immediately realized something was wrong.
"Have you been too public recently? Is it because you offended someone?"
To say that ordinary people have to give Zhang Yi some face, if the two are really related, then he will be a character that even Zhang Yi can't shake.
Wu Qingchun couldn't think of a reason for this, even if they attended the banquet last time, they were well-behaved...
