Changyang is the prefecture of Changzhou. As soon as he entered the city gate, Luoshuang smiled excitedly and said, "It is said that in our Daying, it is more important than identity to go to the capital, and more than money to go to Changyang. This is indeed a prosperous place! It seems that there are more people walking on the street than other places."

In the carriage, Zhiruo, who was reading a travelogue, shook his head funny. Fortunately, this girl did not say that the money dropped on the street was much more than other places. However, according to the description in the travelogue, Changyang's economic status and prosperity were really a bit like Yangzhou in ancient China.

In fact, the entire Changzhou is the fish and rice town of Daying. Changzhou and the adjacent silk town of Huaizhou are the main source of Daying's treasury income. It is said that the salt tax and other taxes in these two places account for more than half of the entire Daying tax.

Luo Ying also smiled: "No wonder she was in a hurry to change me in an hour ago. I was afraid that I would love to watch the fun and couldn't bear to change it back." She felt sorry for her sister's hard work in driving the car, but she only loved the "throne" outside the car that she could watch everywhere.

Yes, the master is often quiet in the carriage, either meditating or writing and painting, or reading travel notes. She is with her side, and likes to make soup or sugar water, slowly fan the fire on the small stove, and listening to the soup gusting slightly is also a kind of enjoyment.

But the defrost, which is not a good food, doesn't like cooking, can't enjoy this kind of fun. She still likes to drive a train in front and can watch all directions. Even if she sees two cows fighting on the side of the road or the cries of birds flying by, it is a kind of excitement for her. Of course, when she goes into the city to watch people come and go, the bustling street market is even more attractive to her.

"Master, will we stay in Changyang for a few more days?" Luo Ying suddenly thought of something, "I want to go and see the third girl of the Wu family. Although she is tough, she is pretty good to us sisters in those years. Not to mention anything else, Luo Shuang was seriously ill that year. If the third girl hadn't insisted on asking the doctor to treat her, she would have died long ago."

She remembered very clearly that before Mr. Qiang bought their sisters, Miss Wu San was just bought by a bearded man. Mr. Qi had asked her for inquiries. The bearded man specially bought women for the famous building in Changyang.

Regarding the Wu family, Zhiruo heard from Luo Ying that the third girl of the Wu family was the former master of Luo Ying's sisters, and the Wu family's hometown was Changyang. The eldest son of the Wu family was originally a lieutenant general who guarded the border southwest, and his second son was also an official in the court. He was still a fat man, the Yan Jingshi Office of the Salt Inspection Office.

As the Wu family was booming, General Wu Shen was actually exposed to have been tying the enemy for many years, privately providing a large number of weapons and the deployment of Daying on the southwestern border to the Sindu Kingdom. General Wu Shen and the Crown Prince of the Sindu Kingdom were also found from the Wu family. The Sindu Kingdom is a country adjacent to the southwest of Daying. It was not big at first, but it has been annexing small neighboring countries in the past decade and expanding rapidly. If this continues, it is likely to become the second Usolan Kingdom that is eyeing Daying. It is said that the weapons provided by General Wu Shen can expand so quickly.

Zhiruo has always hated and despised this kind of traitor who colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country. However, since she heard about the Wu family, she has always had a question: General Wu is not the commander of the Southwest Army, and this matter did not involve the Southwest General. So where did he get so many weapons? He can't get so many weapons in the army, which can help the poisonous country expand its territory.

When Zhiruo raised this question, Luo Ying was stunned at first, but shook her head: "It was Mr. Wu who was greedy for salt taxes and supported General Wu Shen to buy a large number of weapons from the underground weapons workshop in the world." This was the statement when he convicted the Wu family at that time, and it also said that the evidence was conclusive, and that both people and physical evidence were complete.

Zhiruo was even more confused at that time: "Is General Wu Shen selling weapons to the Poison Kingdom, but giving them for free, and he still needs Master Wu to support him with greed? Then what exactly does the Wu family want?"

Luo Ying curled her lips: "It is said that the Wu family has a legitimate daughter, the legitimate sister of Wu Gan General, and the third girl's aunt, was lost by the wet nurse at a very young age. Somehow, she became the most beloved concubine of the crown prince of the country. However, before the case, the Wu family had never heard of such words, and there was no news at all, and I don't know whether it was true or false."

After that conversation with Luo Ying about the Wu family, Zhiruo had never figured out the key points, but after all, it was someone else's business, and it was still past and something irreversible. She had no intention of spending more time and it was thrown away soon.

But at this moment, somehow, she suddenly thought of the underground weapons workshop in Guanghai County.

"No way?" Zhiruo shook her head mockingly. She was over-thinking, right? Everything can be linked to everything? However, she was really looking forward to Feng Ling's progress. Whose work was made by the Haishi Wenren and the underground weapon workshop? Will it be the same person? Prince? King Fu? Or is there someone else?

Inexplicably, she felt that the prince did not have the courage and ability. The prince in her previous life did not have enough confidence until she died, otherwise she would not have relied on a mountain of gold to start a palace transformation, and she was defeated in a miserable way. She was already the crown prince, why did the palace transformation change? There is only one possibility, that is, she realized the intention of the emperor to change the prince, that is, she was not trusted by the emperor, nor did she trust the emperor. She had been the prince for more than ten years, but was facing the possibility of being replaced. What ability could she have? It was a waste of Su Kang, a knowledgeable tutor.

"What can't be done?" Luo Ying heard Zhiruo's muttering and looked puzzled. The master thought that Miss Wu San has become a prostitute now, shouldn't she go to visit? No, the master never looked at people and things with such a secular perspective. If she heard it correctly, the master should have thought of something that puzzled her.

Sure enough, Zhiruo smiled and said, "No, I just suddenly thought of the underground weapons workshop in Guanghai. Nishang lives in Changyang, but we have a shop. We naturally have to stay for two more days and go to the shop. When will you go to the lingering pavilion, just say to me in advance. You have to disguise yourself. Also, don't reveal your identity if you are excited." Just a joke, Luo Ying's temperament is still very reliable. Brother Cunren said that she is a rare secret spy talent.

"Master, don't worry," Luo Ying said hurriedly, "I just want to see how she is doing now and will not face her head." Since I came to Changyang, I always feel strange if I don't go and take a look. I don't know if Miss Wu San's personality is sold to the building, can she live safely until now?

Although Miss Wu San went to the southwest at the age of twelve, she never came back until she was auctioned last year (at least, the two sisters got up next to Miss Wu San and never came to Changyang), she was born and raised in Changyang after all, and now she has become a prostitute in the so-called local famous building when she returns to Changyang. How can she bear it? Moreover, Miss Wu San is still so arrogant and arrogant. Luo Ying has always had a worry, fearing that Miss Wu San will be gone long ago.

Luoshuang drove to the door of a house according to the address sent by the secret spies from Dayuanfang, and was in a very happy mood: "Master, we are here, please wait, I'll knock on the door." What a good location! Uncle Tong is really good at choosing that.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man and woman. Because the young master would come after getting the news, the two men quickly opened the door and welcomed the carriage in after seeing the Qi family token. Zhiruo got off the carriage, and the two knelt down quickly. The man said, "The slave Lian Er and Jian Nei kowtowed to the young master. That was the gatekeeper Zhong. His wife, Aunt Zhong, is cleaning the inner courtyard now. Before they could come out, the others went to the shop and would not come back until evening."

Zhiruo nodded and said, "Get up, this place is good, thank you for your hard work." She knew that the couple was also an official slave, the man was a big manager, responsible for all the Nishangju shops in Changzhou, and the woman was the inner manager of this Qijia Villa, managing all the affairs in the mansion.

Lian Er quickly said, "It's not hard or hard, as long as the young master is satisfied. Although this house is not big, there is an independent courtyard in the inner courtyard. Aunt Zhong has already cleaned up and is waiting for the young master to come." The house has only been bought for more than a month, so he rushed to hurry up. Fortunately, he had already arranged it before the young master arrived. This house is said to be a Qijia villa, but it is actually the residence prepared by the young master for the shopkeepers and the guys. The young master himself does not come here often, so he just needs to leave a separate small courtyard, or he may come to live occasionally, or he may make other arrangements in the future.

Uncle Zhong took Luoshuang to set up a carriage, and Zhiruo and the others went to the hall with Lian Er. As soon as Zhiruo sat down in the main seat, Aunt Lian brought in a set of fine white porcelain tea sets of four seasons. This was specially prepared for the young master, and they didn't even dare to touch them on weekdays. Uncle Tong said that the young master is a very particular person. As a person like the young master, he was born with a golden key in his mouth. How could he not pay attention to it?

Fortunately, Zhiruo could not read the mind, otherwise he would have been embarrassed. She covered most of her face with a mask. How did Aunt Lian see that she was like a god?

"Uncle Lian, Aunt Lian," said Zhiruo, "I will only stay for three or four days this time. You don't have to do too much, just do your own business. I have two servants around me, and I will find you if you have any questions. By the way, Uncle Lian, I will go to the store and arrange it tomorrow. If you have any questions, you can chat with you and the shopkeepers of each store tomorrow or the next day." There are already two Nishang Houses in Changyang, and are preparing to open two more Xianxian Houses.

Lian Er quickly responded. He was the first group of managers bought and trained by Uncle Tong, the eldest son of the Nanhai Qi Mansion. He knew that their son was very busy and liked to walk around and did not care about daily trivial matters, whether it was in the shop or the mansion.

He was more familiar with the rules of the Qi family. Don’t ask or guess the whereabouts of the young master, and just follow the instructions about the young master. Moreover, the young master likes capable and loyal people, otherwise it would be useless no matter how beautiful they say. They were afraid that they would not find a second one in Daying in the Qi family. However, as long as there was one time, even if it was a small or unsuccessful betrayal, the consequences were not something they could bear.

The Qi family is not only the people who are in the open, but they can't see and touch the dark power behind it, but they can clearly feel it. For example, someone had thought that the main family could not be found, but was kicked out on the spot and thought that they were dreaming. In the end, of course, they died very ugly. Even their wife and newborn daughter were sold to the dark kiln; for example, it was not that no one was jealous of Ni Shangju, but as long as they took action against Qi family and Ni Shangju, whether it was collusion between officials and Ni Shangju, whether it was a street gangster, the fate was terrifying. There was no evidence that Qi family did it, but who knew it clearly? It was just that the Qi family could grasp the dirty handles of those officials and exposed them to the sun by unexpected means...

After one or two times, no matter how many jealous businesses bribed them, officials would not dare to help them, right? Which corrupt officials who can collude with profiteers has no dirty things behind their backs? It is not worth it to harm a family that does not harm them and can add local taxes.

"By the way, Uncle Lian," Zhiruo asked, "It's been three or four months since you've been to Changzhou? Have you ever heard of some things about the Wu family?" Don't underestimate these big managers who manage the business of the store. They have to manage various relationships and understand the local powerful, wealthy, and even the two forces of black and white. Of course, the longer you stay in a place, the clearer you will understand.

"The Wu family was found to be searched, all the men were beheaded, and all the women were sold?" Lian Erxi knew something, "Young Master, are you referring to the Wu family, where the two brothers colluded with each other to sell the country?" The most famous Wu family in Changzhou is the Wu family in Changyang, which was almost confiscated and exterminated two years ago.

Zhiruo nodded: "That's right, even uncle knows it? After so long, Changyang is still spreading their family's affairs?" Ordinary people talk about this kind of thing, cursed, and even went to the execution ground to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetables and leaves, and spit and smash bricks at the old house of the person involved, but it won't last too long. Generally, they will leave it behind after joining in the fun. After all, these things are too far away from them, and have little impact on them, and have no obvious relationship with their personal interests. They also feel bloody and unlucky. By the way, it's better to talk about the gossip about the boss's marriage or the brothers in the West.

Luo Ying behind Zhiruo was also anxiously waiting for Lian Er's answer. It has been almost two years since the Wu family case and the handling, so it is not really arguing, right? Miss Wu San is in Changyang, and in that place. Wouldn't she suffer humiliation in her body and spirit? Can she still survive? Luo Yingyue hates the bearded man who bought Miss Wu San. Wanlian Pavilion is not just about to take advantage of Miss Wu San's identity and deliberately use this as a gimmick to attract business? What they want is the effect of constant cursing. The more people spread it, the more stinky men they go to Wanlian Pavilion to bully Miss Wu San and have to be under the guise of high-sounding.
