Chapter 2320: There Is a Familiar Feeling
The woman frowned and said, "Has anyone seen your master in Qingxuan County?"
"yes."
The woman was silent for a moment, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand. I will give you a message later."
"Thank you very much, Auntie." Shu Yu handed over a bag of cakes.
The other party accepted it enthusiastically, and then watched Shu Yu and the others get on the carriage. It wasn't until the back of the carriage disappeared at the entrance of the alley that she glanced at the cake in her hand and turned back to the house.
A man walked out of the room, and the woman repeated what Shu Yu had just said, "Why would they go to Qingxuan County when they are so good?"
The man smiled and said, "It was probably Qi Lie who contacted them. Sure enough, I knew that as long as they came to the southwest, they would definitely get involved in the black market."
"What should we do?"
"It's better that they go. We haven't found Qi Lie for so long, and the superiors are already very unhappy. As soon as the couple leaves, they will definitely contact Qi Lie. By then, we will know where the mouse is hiding."
The woman nodded, "Did you deliberately let them stay in Heichang County for a few days to give them a chance to contact Qi Lie?"
"Yes, now the rat is finally showing up. Now that we have found Qi Lie, the plan to eradicate their couple can begin."
The two looked at each other and began to look forward to it.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng did not go to Qingxuan County immediately. It was a bit late. They rested in the inn for a night and discussed tomorrow's itinerary. Early the next morning, they set off for Qingxuan County.
Qingxuan County is the county next door to Heichang County, not too far away. It was not yet noon when they arrived.
The county here is obviously a little more prosperous than Heichang County, so a few people first found an inn to stay.
Then they started walking around the county town, neither of them had any purpose, as if they were just wandering around.
"Do you think that the magistrate of Qingxuan County will be a black marketer like the original Chenggu County?"
When he walked to the gate of the county government office, Shu Yu raised his head and took a look, with a question in his mind.
Meng Yunzheng followed her line of sight and replied, "Before leaving the capital, the emperor gave me the information on various officials in Linzhang Mansion. The magistrate of Qingxuan County was transferred here only two years ago. .”
"He was transferred here just two years ago?"
"Well, the previous county magistrate has been working here for more than ten years. He must be aware of the existence of the black market, otherwise his work as a county magistrate for more than ten years would have been in vain. But he is old and had an accident two years ago. He died suddenly. The news spread back to the capital, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent another official over."
"So it's possible that the new county magistrate doesn't know about the existence of this black market?" After all, in the past two years, the black market in Changjin Mansion has suffered heavy losses, and the southwestern side has also died down. If the black market does not emerge, it would be normal for the new county magistrate to not know about it.
"That's not necessarily true. Two years ago, the second and third princes happened to join forces. The Ministry of Civil Affairs transferred personnel. For a small county magistrate position, it is still in a place like the southwest that everyone is afraid of. It is actually very easy to place one's own people. of."
Shu Yu nodded, so this county magistrate was probably still the remnant of the second prince.
Well, thinking about it this way, they are really surrounded by enemies on all sides and are in a worrying situation.
While he was sighing in his heart, Shu Yu's eyes suddenly froze, and he frowned and looked at a figure in front of him, "Ayun, look at that person, does it feel familiar?"
