Chapter 2318 Qi Lie May Be in Danger
Meng Yuncheng's expression became more and more solemn. Yes, if there is a problem with a girl, there must be a problem with the letter.
Shu Yu clenched his fingers and began to recall the events in between.
They had all read the letter, and there was nothing suspicious about it. The letter mentioned traces of the black market found in Lin Zhang Mansion. Judging from the note sent by Qi Lie just now, the black market is indeed here, so the letter is authentic.
Whether it is them or the emperor, everyone who reads the letter is a very cautious person.
There is nothing wrong with the content of the letter.
But it was fine that I had no doubts before. Now that I have doubts, many things have gradually become clearer.
For example, the day after Qiao Rou received the letter, Shu Yu happened to arrive at Changjin Mansion, so Qiao Rou would hand the letter directly to her. If the letter was delivered to Qiao Rou one day later or one day earlier, the letter might not reach Shu Yu.
"In other words, this letter is actually for you, to show us." Meng Yuncheng said with narrowed eyes.
Shu Yu, "Tell me, is there a possibility that this letter was actually the hook they used to lure us to the southwest for the first time? It's just that you had to go to Beijing to take the exam, so you handed this letter directly to the emperor. None of us went to the southwest. And my master is their second plan?"
This can explain why Shu Quan said that he saw Shu Feng and Dongqing Guanzhu at the beginning of the year, but the other party never took action. Maybe they thought Meng Yunzheng would go to the southwest after finishing the exam. Who knew that he had opened an academy at home and was going to the north to attend some academy exchange meeting, while Shu Yu stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.
They then adopted the second plan and sent a letter to Dongqing Temple, leading them to the southwest in the name of the master of Dongqing Temple.
"If that's the case, then they must know that Qi Lie has come to Southwest."
That letter was intentional. They must have known that the emperor would send someone to the southwest after reading it.
And Qi Lie once destroyed the black market in Changjin Mansion, and later he pretended to be sick and closed his doors to thank guests. He hadn't appeared in front of people for a long time, and you could guess who he was with just a casual guess.
Perhaps they not only knew that Qi Lie had come to the Southwest, but they had even set their sights on him early.
"Is Mr. Qi in danger?"
Shu Yu felt that things had gone far beyond their expectations and that they had all been plotted.
Meng Yuncheng held her hand and said, "Don't worry, these are just our guesses. Maybe it was such a coincidence that those girls just happened to like the environment in Qingxuan County. Tomorrow we will ask Wang Changdong first to find out what happened. Let’s talk about the situation of the girls.”
This comforted myself. Those girls said they wanted to find a place to live where no one knew anyone, and there were too many choices. But they chose the southwest, a place of exile, a place where dragons and snakes mixed together.
Although there is a garrison here and the management is stricter than other places, for a few girls, it is not the first choice.
"It can only be this way."
The two of them said no more and just wanted to find Wang Changdong the next day.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, before they could go out, Wang Changdong came over first.
"I saw that you were tired from the journey yesterday, so I didn't bother you too much. Today I asked for a day off, and invited you to sit and have a meal at home to cleanse you from the wind and dust. I also want to congratulate you on your wedding."
