The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Three days later, the Li Ji Escort Bureau in Qizhou accidentally caught fire. The news that the fire burned all night spread back to Changzhou. When the Qizhou magistrate led the city defenders to rescue people, several corpses were found in the martial arts training ground of the Li Ji Escort Bureau. The chief escort of the escort agency was arrested and brought to justice.

Li Yanping, who had been busy checking accounts and had not rested at all recently, felt his eyes darken after hearing the news, and the smell of iron came back to his mouth.

His hands gripped the corners of the table tightly to prevent himself from fainting.

When he opened his eyes again, he barely swallowed back the blood that was about to rush out of his throat.

Damn it, Li Ji Trading Company is destined to commit Tai Sui this year. It has not gone well from the beginning of the new year to now!
Li Yanping looked at the thick stacks of account books, gritted his teeth and said, "Continue!"

Shiohiki is the top priority now, and everything else has to give way to this one.

Didn't His Highness the King of Chu rely on real money and silver to recruit [-] naval troops from the south of the Yangtze River?

Now that the iron-barrel-like Jiangnan has been torn open by Qi Chengjun, if something happens again in Mobei, His Highness's situation will be in danger!

After the Yan Yin incident was over, he went to ask the master to calculate how he could reverse the decline of Li Ji Trading Company in Mobei.

Gu Yuzhi was packing his things when he heard the news. News came from Chen Dianyi that the weaving workshop had already woven the first batch of cotton cloth, which was indeed more comfortable and warmer than Gebu.

Gu Yuzhi couldn't hold it any longer and excitedly asked Nanny Xu to prepare things. He was going to Xinliang.

However, because the inns on both sides of the official road were opened, Nanny Xu did not prepare much for food on the road. She only brought dried meat and other things for Chen Dianyi and Marshal Huo.

He stood in the backyard, raising his head to watch Nanny Xu loading the car. He turned around and saw Xie Changshi walking in in a hurry, saying in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is news from Qizhou."

Counting the time, it has been several days since Guard Zhang left for Qizhou...

His big eyes rolled around. Seeing that Xie Changshi had no intention of speaking here, he led him quickly to the meeting hall: "What did Guard Zhang say? Is it taken? Can our people go to Qi State?"

Gu Yuzhi pouted.

It was said that it was not too late, but it felt like a long time had passed. None of the people sent out in three groups, including Guard Qi, Guard Zhang and Liu Dianyi, came back with news.

This filled Gu Yuzhi's heart with melancholy, and he couldn't sleep well for several nights, forcing Shu Xiaohan, who was tone-deaf, to sing him lullabies for several nights.

Before Xie Changshi could say anything, Shu Xiaohan hurriedly said, "Hello, young prince, Guard Zhang must have come back with good news."

Gu Yuzhi also hoped that things would go as smoothly as they hoped. He looked at Xie Changshi eagerly and saw Xie Changshi nodded, but his expression was not too happy.

He scratched his head, his tone was no longer as lively as before, and he said in a small voice: "Xie Changshi, what happened?"

He has seen the power of Guard Zhang before. The bandits who had their identities changed were all interrogated by Guard Zhang. The bodyguards in the escort agency must not be as powerful as the bandits, right?

Xie Changshi frowned so tightly. Could it be that Guard Zhang was in danger?

Gu Yuzhi jumped off the chair suddenly, raised his head and asked anxiously: "Is Guard Zhang injured?"

Although Guard Zhang is the deputy guard chief, he is better at interrogation, and his martial arts skills are not as high as that of Guard Qi.

What's more, this time, they only brought a dozen people there.Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face and clasped his little hands behind his back, imitating Xie Changshi's way of walking back and forth, his little face full of anxiety.

Shu Xiaohan was about to open her mouth to comfort him when Xie Changshi nodded and said, "Yes, Guard Zhang is injured. Judge Qin has received the news and is on his way over there."

It's serious enough to ask the Qin Court to rule!

Gu Yuzhi's little face wrinkled into a bun, and he was extremely scared, but he still kept cheering up in his heart like a little adult.

He knows that he is just a child and can cry when he is scared, but he always remembers that he is a prince...

Gu Yuzhi turned around and quickly wiped his cheek with his small hand, and said with red eyes: "How did Guard Zhang get injured? Was it someone from Li Ji Escort Agency? How is Li Ji Escort Agency doing now?"

He puffed up his face and couldn't help but rush towards Qizhou with Xue Ye.

If the people from Li Ji Escort Agency dare to hurt his people, he must make the people from Li Ji Escort Agency pay the price!

Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but breathe a little heavier. Xie Changshi, who was still reviewing the incident, realized something was wrong and hurriedly explained: "Something happened when I went to Li Ji Escort Bureau to arrest people. The entire Li Ji Escort Bureau was destroyed by fire. .”

"Shiwei Zhang said that from the damaged house of Li Ji Escort, gold that had been smelted was found, amounting to thousands of kilograms."

Gu Yuzhi's eyes widened. Thousands of pounds of gold?
What is this concept?
Gu Yuzhi simply couldn't convert it. If thousands of kilograms of gold were smelted into gold ingots, how many taels would it cost?
He thought with a proud face, how much gold did the emperor reward him after he came to Mobei?
This little escort agency actually hid so much gold!

Gu Yuzhi rolled his eyes and thought of what Xie Changshi had just said: "Does that mean that Guard Zhang is not that serious?"

"Guard Zhang was attacked by someone. The situation is not bad. The Qin court sentenced him because the Qizhou magistrate was stabbed and is still unconscious."

In Gu Yuzhi's surprised look, Xie Changshi sighed deeply and continued: "Although there were various accidents when I went to the escort agency to arrest people, at least the chief escort of Li Ji Escort Agency was captured."

"Guard Guard Zhang didn't dare to delay. He interrogated him all night long. Unexpectedly, on the night after he caught the head guard, someone robbed the prison."

Obviously, neither Zhang Yuankai nor Wei Chengrui expected that someone would dare to rob the prison after they were already in the magistrate's prison!
The people who came to rob the prison were obviously very familiar with the layout of Qizhou Prison. They quietly killed the cell leader and jailer and went straight to Guard Zhang and Wei Chengrui.

Because there were prisoners to be interrogated, and the King of Chu was likely to be involved, there were very few people in the interrogation room.

If it weren't for Zhang Yuankai's superb martial arts skills and leading Wei Chengrui to fight his way out, and the guards of Prince Wen's Mansion who were standing outside heard the news and came in to rescue him, I'm afraid Zhang Yuankai would have died in Qizhou.

Zhang Yuankai did not elaborate on the difficulties and dangers involved, but he had already guessed who Xie Changshi was.

He glanced at Gu Yuzhi, who looked a little pale, and whispered: "Unfortunately, the other party found that they couldn't take the chief escort out, so they simply killed him. Not only that, because the Li Ji Escort Bureau was destroyed by fire, Guard Zhang and his men searched several times, but no useful clues were found."

Ledgers, lists, and the like seemed to have all been destroyed by the fire.

Xie Changshi looked solemn: "Your Highness, I may have been a little too optimistic before. The degree of infiltration in Mobei is definitely far beyond our imagination."

Especially the person who tipped off Li Ji Escort, they still have no clue. (End of chapter)
