Poor family mother and son

Chapter 134
Because of the decree announced just now, Bai Jiaxing was kept at a distance by the crowd, and finally entered the Chu residence when the crowd dispersed.

"Boss! When did you come back?" Bai Jiaxing asked while looking at the plaque that read "Respect for Filial Piety".

"I arrived last night. Why did you come here?" Chu Qing said.

"It just so happened that you came back, I inquired about something and told you about it."

"Go, go into the house and talk."

Chu Qing took Bai Jiaxing to the main hall.

Bai Jiaxing: "Boss, I found out about the iron ingots in the mining area. There are indeed frequent problems with the blast furnace, but it is not a real problem, but a lie. I didn't see any scrap iron. I asked the foreman over there to look for it. , just say that they have a lot of slag."

"They smelted a lot of iron ingots, but they said that the blast furnace was broken, which affected the output of iron ingots. That is to say, the iron ingots were not accounted for after they were smelted. Where did all the iron ingots go?" Chu Qing asked.

"Boss, it's the Meng family!"

"Meng Family?"

"Yes, my people saw that the steward of the Meng family took away two carts of iron ingots three nights ago, and each cart was pulled by two mules."

"Four mules?" Chu Qing asked in surprise.

Mules have better stamina than horses. For transportation, mules are more cost-effective than horses.It takes four mules to transport the wagon, minus the weight of the wagon, two tons of iron ingots have to be transported away!
What is the concept of two tons?If the saber of an army soldier is less than one kilogram, it is calculated as one kilogram. Two tons is two thousand kilograms, that is, two thousand sabers!There are only 500 soldiers in one battalion of the army, and these iron ingots are enough to arm four battalions!

Chu Qing took a deep breath: "The Meng family is quite courageous!"

"Boss, we didn't dare to stop them because we didn't know whose order they were following. I sent a few clever boys from our group to follow them." Bai Jiaxing said.

"Where are they?" Chu Qing asked.

"It has already entered Xinlun Prefecture."

"Good job! You keep in touch with them, I have to go to Xinlun."

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Qing arrived at the council office.I went directly to Deputy Jiang Qianhu.

"The news is accurate?" Deputy Jiang Qianhu asked.

"Exactly! My boys are following," Chu Qing said, "They are just my workers, so they can only follow."

"In this way, if you take 20 people on a trip, you must find out the delivery route of this batch of iron ingots. There must be witnesses and physical evidence."

"Subordinates obey!" Chu Qing took the order.

It is most appropriate for Chu Qing to go to this matter, after all her people have been following her, and Chu Qing is also one of the few people in the council who are most familiar with Xinlunzhou.

Chu Qing ordered 20 people from the office and set off.His own special forces team was led by Chu Yuan and followed behind.

………………

At the same time, Brother Wei Chengyi was having a dispute with Deputy Han Qianhu, the airborne leader of New Lunzhou.

The reason is that within a month of his arrival, Deputy Han Qianhu marginalized the fifteen cadres originally sent by Jizhou.

These fifteen cadre detectives were originally Chu Qing's subordinates, and they played an inestimable role in the national war, so they have always been the pillars of Xin Lunzhou's business.Now they are all adjusted to some unimportant positions.

Immediately afterwards, Deputy Han Qianhu informed Brother Zhuizi that he could return to Jizhou, saying that Xinlunzhou did not need so many people.

Because there was the task of investigating the smuggling of iron ingots first, and this deputy Qianhu was airborne, Brother Zhuizi was afraid that the news would leak before the investigation was clear, so he did not explain to Deputy Qianhu Jiang.

So at first I just declined and said that some things were not finished, so I didn't leave.Today Han Fuqianhu directly ordered them to leave.Brother Awl had to inform him about the investigation.

Deputy Jiang Qianhu thought: "I'm here for this matter, can I really give you a chance to investigate? It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you have anything to do with this matter, stay away from me!"

During this period of time, Brother Zhuizi tortured the prisoners of Voss and learned that they were entrusted by the Meng family in Jizhou to forcibly occupy the Baoqingsheng North Warehouse as their trading and inventory location.

Because the Meng family couldn't buy a warehouse, they united with the Voss people, trying to use this method to destroy Chu Qing's business, so that they could not do business here and had to leave.

But Zhang Mingyu was following the caravan of the Meng family in Jiangnan, and the Meng family in Jizhou was the one who harmed Beizhan. The connection between the two, and the route they used to transport the iron ingots, were the things Brother Zhuizi had been investigating.

Now there is a clue: it seems that people from the Meng family are there to meet the border control checkpoints for caravans entering and exiting. Before they can continue the investigation, Deputy Jiang Qianhu will drive them away.

Brother Zhuizi didn't dare to disclose more information, he only said that he was investigating the smuggling of iron ingots, and suspected that the Meng family in Jizhou was involved, so there was nothing wrong with the people from the Jizhou Council's investigation in Xinlunzhou.

Deputy Han Qianhu thought in his heart:
"The smuggling of iron ingots has always been the business of Jiangnan Meng's family. Mr. Wu, the governor of Beizhen, and Jiangnan Meng's family are in-laws, so they have always assisted. How can this kind of thing be investigated by them?"

Think again:
"The past two years of canceling the mutual market with Donglun Kingdom and Worth Kingdom have cut off the business in Jiangnan. Now the mutual market has finally reopened. The Meng family in Jiangnan is smuggling iron ingots nearby. The Meng family in Jizhou must help. They have already found out The Meng family is in trouble, so we have to interrupt it."

So Deputy Han Qianhu said:

"Oh, I understand now. It's just that Xinlun Prefecture was previously managed by the Jizhou Council, but now I'm fully responsible for it."

"Then for Wei Baihu to come here to handle the case, the Jizhou Council needs to issue an official letter for joint case handling."

"But now the procedures are not complete, you'd better go back and report to your order." Deputy Han Qianhu smiled, and his attitude seemed very friendly. "

Brother Aizi choked on these words.This procedure is indeed required for business affairs, but time is running out now!Once back and forth, the fast horse will take four days, how many things will be delayed!

That's exactly what Vice Han's Qianhu had in mind. Four days was enough time for him to notify the Meng family in Jizhou to make arrangements.

But what Deputy Han Qianhu didn't know was that this time the Meng family in Jizhou had obtained a batch of iron ingots alone, and planned to smuggle them themselves, and they had already shipped them to New Lunzhou.

Because Meng Pei, the head of the Meng family in Jizhou, felt that he didn't get much benefit by spending so much effort to help the Meng family in Jiangnan, and he was still not welcome to see him as a side branch.

Since it's thankless, it's better to continue helping Jiangnan while doing your own business.It's all the same way, why don't I get a share of it?

"Where are they?" Meng Pei asked.

"We've arrived in New Lunzhou, it's time to change the carriage and cargo box." The butler replied.The steward who followed the car this time was his son.

"My lord, our caravan has also entered Xinlun Province. At that time, we only need to distribute the iron ingots into the caravan's trucks. If it is fast, we will be able to reach the border tomorrow night, and it will not be as slow as noon the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" Meng Pei patted the armrest of the chair, "If this errand is done well, your son will be in charge of this stall!"

The housekeeper bowed and thanked again and again.He is in charge of this stall, that is to say, the business of smuggling iron ingots, and his son is doing it full-time, that's a fat job!There is a lot of oil and water!
Xinlunzhou.

Chu Qing rode fast all the way, and soon reached the state border of Xinlunzhou.From here on, her boys in [-] Village would catch up with her team to report the situation from time to time.

By the time they arrived at Baoqingsheng Beizhan, they had already learned that eleven carriages from the Meng family in Jizhou had joined the iron ingot delivery team.

"How big a caravan are they trying to pretend?" Chu Qing muttered.

"Boss, the small-scale caravans to Voss consist of a dozen vehicles, and the larger ones have dozens of horse-drawn carriages. Each caravan usually consists of two mules and a driver, but this time the Meng family caravan Each car is equipped with a driver and three guards." A boy from the third team replied.

"That is to say, they have assembled 44 people now." Chu Qing glanced at his team, 42 people, evenly matched.

"Where's Wei Chengyi?" Chu Qing asked the boy in Beizhan.

"Lord Wei also got news of the Meng family caravan. He was afraid that there would be members of the Meng family guarding the border checkpoint. He would not be able to stop it, so he took his men to intercept it near the checkpoint."

Chu Qing was shocked.This is not possible, Brother Zhuizi only brought ten subordinates, and there are already 44 people in the Meng family, and it is unknown how many people have not yet arrived.

"Only eleven of them?" Chu Qing asked worriedly.

"We also followed 20 people." Beizhan boy replied.

That's not OK!Chu Qing immediately ordered: "Hurry up! Go find Wei Chengyi and let him stand by. He did this without knowing why. Tell him, I came with orders from the secret investigation department!"
