Chapter 148

"Xijian, you think, why is this 15-year-old boy from the mountain field so clear about the Mongols' movements in the West?" After a long time, Wu Qian's eyes slowly retracted.

"Duke Chongguo asked me how I knew, maybe as he said, I was listening to some merchants or cannibals from the southeast, southwest and northwest at the dock!" Ye Mengding smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"No, although Yanggong Town Harbor is very lively, and the merchants who come and go from north to south have complicated information exchanges, how can he care about these things we don't know on weekdays? Besides, there are very few cannibals in Yanggong Town, otherwise I wouldn't have let my servants go to Wenzhou and Fuzhou to find out the situation!" Wu Qian waved his hand.

"Then he is the prophet without hexagram!"

Wu Qian:...

"If Duke Chongguo doesn't believe it, there is a way to test it!" Ye Mengding stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.

"How to test it?" Wu Qian suddenly became interested.

"Call him and let him tell me the current trends of the Mongols and the situation in the West. Since he said that the news that the Mongols had almost confirmed it, and he also boasted that the Mongolians would attack our Song Dynasty this year or next year, he must be very sure. If what he said was not much different from the news that Duke Chong was inquired, then just like we judged that this son must be a strange person. If what he said was very different from the news that Duke Chong was inquired, it was very likely that the news that he had heard from some hearsay, and it was not worthy of full trust!"

"This strategy in Xijian is good, but according to speculation, what he said will most likely be close to the truth, otherwise he would not have made a bet of one million with me. Xijian will have free time tomorrow, so I will accompany me to Yanggong Town?" Wu Qian said with a smile.

"It's so hot and hot, and it's a hundred miles away, and it's so bumpy and exhausting. It's fine to send someone to call him. Even if he is a strange man, he is just a young man without power and power. He shouldn't be allowed to go there in person!" Ye Mengding said in surprise.

"Haha, Xijian only knows one thing but not the other. I heard that his Xiaolongwan Harbor has encountered some trouble recently. If no one comes forward, I am afraid that the million you bet with me will be ruined. If I don't go to clear the haze for him, I will hesitate if I call him!" Wu Qian grabbed his beard and shook his head with a smile.

"Didn't Xiaolongwan Harbor besides be very popular? I've been talking about it a few days ago. I've been caring about the trends of the capital these days, but I haven't paid attention to it. Why did I suddenly get into trouble?" Ye Mengding asked in surprise.

"Well, I haven't asked about the specific reason yet. I have been a little restless by what happened in the capital these days. I have nothing to do. First, I ask him to make up enough of this million yuan gambling capital as soon as possible, and second, I can also test how amazing he is! However, I heard that this little guy is so brave. A few days ago, someone in the county government reported the case that someone in Yanggong Town bullied men and women and bullied the weak. He actually injured the groom who was married to the Ming Dynasty. He occupied the bride and refused to let him go. The county government official sent people to capture the murderer, but he was beaten back. The police officer of the county government was furious and issued an approval document in the name of resisting arrest. The county government official asked the county government to mobilize soldiers to arrest him. The county government official sent a message to ask the official. I felt something was strange and asked the official to ask him to find out that it was related to Zhao Qi!" Wu Qian explained briefly.

"Bullying a man and a woman and hurt the groom?" Ye Mengding opened his mouth wide, and came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid it's impossible. Although I met him once last time and felt a little impetuous during the conversation, the boy's mind is still understandable, and his words are clear and polite, and his speech is amazing. He is not like a vicious person, how could he occupy the bride and hurt the groom? He even dared to fight against the official, which is not like his mind and nature. Perhaps there is another hidden behind this!"

"Yes, I thought it was like this, so I called the official to ask again, and found something strange. It turned out that the groom was not married, but just took a concubine. The identity of this concubine was also very suspicious. He was actually a village woman who had just been retired for three days. She still had a 15-year-old daughter. After being retired, the village woman had nowhere to go and was taken in by Zhao Qi. Moreover, the identity of this groom was also very strange. She was actually the Lu family..."

Wu Qian said what he knew in a few words.

To outsiders, these things will be in a foggy way, and it will take some time to find out clearly. However, for Wu Qian, the leader in Qingyuan Mansion, it is just to summon several county officials. If he still wants to continue inquiring in depth, he can even understand Zhao Qi's previous peek at A Lian taking a bath. As long as he is willing, the entire Yanggong Town can be turned over and investigated.

However, it is obvious that Wu Qian, the first-class duke of the dynasty, was not so boring. The capital is now in turmoil and uneasy. In addition, the affairs of Qingyuan Mansion are almost busy every day. How could there be no time to worry about these bullshit things among the people?

If it weren't for the report that the Xiaolongwan Harbor had mentioned that he would have arranged for the county magistrate to send someone to capture the bandits who fought against the officials.

Dare to gather people to fight against officials is a serious crime at any time, and it is undoubtedly a rebellion. This kind of thing is not only a slap in the face of the county government, but also a slap in the face of him, the prefect of Qingyuan.

However, after hearing that it was Xiaolongwan Harbor, Wu Qian naturally had to ask a few more questions, and then he injured the marriage team and even fought against the government, Zhao Qi and others. Wu Qian naturally needed to take a good look at it, because he first suppressed the order of the county magistrate and arranged for someone to inquire. He found that Xiaolongwan Harbor had been in trouble recently. He heard that a large number of merchants who had paid the money and signed the contract were blocked at Xiaolongwan Harbor and asked for a refund, and many local people and unemployed vagrants gathered near the construction site to cause trouble.

As an old fox who has been in the officialdom for decades, without even further understanding, Wu Qian knew that Xiaolongwan Harbor had offended the big man, and the news after inquiring also confirmed that the injured groom was the Lu family.

"Lu family, that Lu family?" Ye Mengding asked in surprise.

"Haha, although Xijian is from Qingyuan Mansion, he is not an official in Qingyuan Mansion. It may not be clear that there are several large families in Qingyuan Mansion that monopolize a lot of harbor trade. The Lu family is one of them. They rely on reselling money to attract salt, tea, fragrance, medicine, etc. to make money. At the same time, they also open a restaurant to make wine for sale, making countless profits every year. As far as I know, the Lu family has a close relationship with Ding Daquan!"
