Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

When General Chen Qian heard this, he sat down instead.

“I know this.”

"you know?"

He nodded: "It's like this, there are a few more women in Zhao Wangfu recently"

"There are a few more women in their mansion, so you know he has connections with people in Chengwang Mansion?"

"That's not it"

Chen Qianzong hurriedly explained: "In the past, there were often many women from the capital in his mansion. I recognized one of them as a maidservant of Princess Cheng."

"How do you know him?"

"They are all from Beijing, so there are opportunities to meet them."

"Oh"

Qin Qiong nodded slightly.

"I know that his family is in contact with King Cheng now. In fact, it's because Guandu City is not a big place, but it's not a small place either. If there is anything going on in the city, it can't be hidden from people."

"There are many people who pay attention to the Zhao family. After all, they are the masters of this Guancheng, so they are often the family with the least secrets."

"Take the servants in the various mansions in the city for example. Everyone always has to go out to buy things, and there are people who deliver food and other things to the various mansions, so many things are spread this way."

"In fact, when King Cheng sneaked into Guandu City after his failure, many people saw it."

"I saw it! How come you didn't report it?"

Qin Qiong was stunned. Didn’t it say that in ancient times people would be punished collectively?

"What good thing is there to report? This kind of thing has happened to all the great families. Who doesn't have friends and old acquaintances?"

Mr. Chen Qian smiled.

"It's just that we didn't expect that Lord Zhao would actually marry one of King Cheng's daughters. This is really beyond my imagination. Of course, he is not marrying a wife. He already has a wife, so it's just a..."

"At first I thought it was his son who married her, but later I found out it was actually his wife."

Mr. Chen Qian sneered and shook his head.

"I didn't expect that the Marquis is still so energetic and courageous at this age."

"How old is he?"

Seeing Mr. Chen Qian's contemptuous attitude, Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask.

"He is forty-three years old this year, so he has a lot more ideas."

Qin Qiong also laughed: "No wonder."

Mr. Chen Qian glanced at her and thought about it.

He asked, "I wonder what the Prince Consort would think if Zhao Shuai did what he did?"

Qin Qiong shrugged: "The Queen Mother means, make a big move"

General Chen Qian was shocked.

He looked at Qin Qiong in surprise: "But the army here has followed General Zhao for many years. If..."

"Really? Didn't you say he didn't discipline his troops strictly?"

"That's true, but the commander of Guanbian suddenly changed, and I'm afraid..."

"Isn't General Li still here?"

Chen Qian was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded.

“It would be much easier if it were this way.”

"How to say?"

"General Li is in charge of the military. I'm afraid that someone who doesn't know what's going on in the capital will suddenly come. If that happens, there might be chaos here. If it's General Li, then I won't be afraid."

Jinzi smiled. It seemed that Xiaoyan was right about the person.

"only……"

Chen Qianzong pondered again and said, "It may not be easy to find evidence against Lord Zhao."

"Even if we testify in person that King Cheng's women have entered his house, it is not enough to determine the facts. Think about it, if this woman refuses to admit it, or if..."

"Besides, for something like this, the most he can be sentenced to is lax family management. It's hard to convict a frontier commander of a crime if it goes any deeper."

"What if we find evidence that he's collaborating with the enemy?"

“I’m afraid it will be even more difficult.”

General Chen Qian stood up and poured a cup of tea for Qin Qiong.

"It is definitely not him who is handling these transactions, even if it is a transaction like gold. Even if you find the person who helped him transfer the money, or the person who is related to the Chengwang Mansion, it will be difficult to convict him as long as he does not admit it."

"Besides, we can't investigate this openly. If we really investigate it openly, that would be forcing him..."

"Yes, we thought so too, so the Prince Consort asked me to come here, please give me some advice, sir."

Qin Qiong saw that this person was another one like Mr. Lin with a "white skin and black filling".

He looks weak, but he is actually a bad guy at heart.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Chen Qian thought for a moment and said, "However, this matter is a bit troublesome, we must consider it carefully."

"Okay, how about this?"

Qin Qiong approached him and said, "Please help me arrange the things here. If you have any questions, just go to the Princess's Mansion and find the Prince Consort."

"This, this, I'm afraid it's..."

"It's okay. I'm too busy. Besides, I don't understand your official affairs. Don't make things worse later."

"This, I'm afraid..."

"It's okay. I'll leave someone with you. He will send your information directly to the Princess's Mansion, and the Prince Consort will contact you directly."

"Then... Chen will definitely do his best!"

"it is good"

'hehe'

Qin Qiong smiled in his heart and said, "He is really a good official. He will act quickly when he has a chance."

"What are the plans for the girl down there?"

"Since you have taken over the affairs here, I will sort these things out and send a letter to the capital. As for what to do next, let you discuss it among yourselves."

"I have other things to deal with. The first is the whereabouts of the gold. The second is to find a way to stop the war that is about to start."

"Let's go to war!"

"Not yet, but there will be soon."

"Ah? What does this mean?"

"What I mean is, we suspect that the occasional wars on your side are probably caused by Lord Zhao's collusion with the opposite country, Yang."

"You are, you mean..."

"The country across from us has coveted Wu for many years, but your border has been very stable for so many years. Why?"

Mr. Chen narrowed his eyes.

"what do you mean……"

"We suspect that Lord Zhao has been using these things to buy peace with the other side for so many years."

General Chen Qian looked at Qin Qiong and was speechless for a moment.

"So if we recover the gold, then...if we don't have the gold, do you think they will come to kill us?"

Chen Qian was a little anxious: "It's possible...but if that's the case..."

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to win the fight now?"

Mr. Chen Qian sighed.

"In fact, saying that he doesn't discipline the army is already a very polite statement. In recent years, the morale of the army has been low, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been declining. Now the only ones who can really fight in the army are the local soldiers led by General Li, who were brought from the capital by General Zhao, and who were later recruited locally, as well as those recruited from Yuzhou and Qizhou. They are simply not good enough."

"I often watch their training. Hey!..."

"So I feel that if a fight really breaks out now, I'm afraid... we can't just rely on General Li and his team!"

"So now this war really must not start, so where should this gold go..."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "I won't check the gold for now?"

"This... It's not that I don't want to investigate, but a little impatience can ruin a big plan. I think, how about..."

Qin Qiong laughed.

"You also want to use this gold to buy peace?"

"This, this..."

Mr. Chen Qian lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Have you ever seen someone feeding you and they want to eat themselves into a skinny person?"

"what?……"

"He will only get fatter the more he is fed"

Qin Qiong looked at him: "He will ask for more and more gold, and he will want to take more and more benefits. I guarantee you that the other party will not be able to bear it anymore. They will definitely find a way to eat you because you are too easy to talk to."
