The old woman held her sleeping child in her arms with a very determined expression.
"My benefactors saved the lives of our mother and daughter, and I'm afraid I will never be able to repay them in this life. But we have really been harassing our benefactors for too long. I saw you outside the city yesterday, and I know that you are not from here." I absolutely cannot trouble you anymore."
"It's not troublesome at all." Yu Qingzhi hurriedly held her hand and felt her pulse.
It has indeed improved a lot, but even so they have nowhere to go. Even if they were given some silver, they would have nowhere to go.
The old woman also knew that they could not stay here forever, and she could not always be taken care of. Understand their difficulties, no matter how much Yu Qingzhi tries to persuade her to stay, she should leave.
Yu Qingzhi and the others didn't care. After all, they already knew about the collusion between officials and thieves here, and they quickly informed Emperor Feng that it would be impossible to leave this place in a short time. But there will eventually be a day when they leave. When the matter is over, they will rush to southern Xinjiang. They really need to think about them carefully.
"In short, it is impossible to take them to southern Xinjiang.
But now that everything has been taken care of, Yu Qingzhi cannot leave the patients who are not fully recovered midway.
In total, the manager of the company just arrived.
"It's getting late, and you have nowhere to go with your child. It's better to take care of yourself here and then make plans."
What Yu Qingzhi said is true. There is no peace here. It is too cruel to let an old woman like her live on the street with such a young child.
As soon as these words came out, the old woman subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at the child who was sleeping soundly because she was full, and finally agreed.
In her heart, the child is her only support and sustenance in this world. The moment she was willing to cut her fingers and feed her child with blood, she would not let go easily.
Seeing that the old woman was willing to stay, Yu Qingzhi felt a little more at ease.
Until the old woman¡¯s room became quiet, they led the manager of the firm to the room on the other side. After closing the door, the atmosphere gradually became tense again.
"Is there any new news?" Yu Qingzhi pinched her brows.
Throughout the day, she not only took care of the old woman and the child, but also paid attention to the prefect's collusion with the Cao Gang.
The information given by the company really lived up to expectations. The steward bowed deeply to her and did not pretend to hesitate, telling her everything he knew.
"Go back to the master, we heard that there was a big noise in Caobang today."
Big news?
"Is it related to the prefect?" Feng Yanli frowned.
The steward nodded and continued in a matter-of-fact manner: "Since the current magistrate took office, the price of grain and salt has soared. If our company had enough capital behind it, otherwise it would not be able to survive. Villagers in surrounding towns have already had several riots because they could not make ends meet. Each time, they were all suppressed. Those who participated in the riot were not beaten to death on the spot, but were caught and tortured in prison. After such a commotion, no one dared to resist, after all, those people would be helpless How can those people who are desperate and powerless be their opponents?"
"We already know all this. We saw the villagers when we entered the city." Yu Qingzhi said lightly.
But even though I had known it for a long time, it still hurt a lot when I heard it again.
The steward shuddered slightly, but understood what Yu Qingzhi meant, and continued on this matter: "We found other clues in the price of grain and salt, not only the issue of the imperial edict, but also"
He paused for a moment, as if he was mentally preparing himself. However, he did not dare to look directly at Yu Qingzhi, but he still raised his head slightly.
And Feng Baoyue, who was most impatient, had just finished eating the last hawthorn, and the bamboo stick was dangling in her hand, "Isn't it enough to pretend to preach the imperial edict? Is there any other means in this?"
Yu Qingzhi simply couldn¡¯t imagine how courageous these people were, and how a false imperial edict could not satisfy their appetite.
The steward knew that these people had great backgrounds. Even if Feng Baoyue interrupted him, he did not dare to say anything. He just nodded and continued: "Our people secretly followed several government officials and found that they did not pay their monthly salary." Shiliubian returned to the mountains two miles away from the city. Within an hour, he would drag several boxes of things from the mountains, transport half of them back to the magistrate's house, and the other to the dock. There seemed to be people on the other side to help him. The box got on the ship and I don¡¯t know where it went.¡±
box?
Baili Xingran immediately thought of what he had just seen at that side door, but he did not immediately say an explanation to interrupt the steward, but he already had a plan in his mind.
"Have you found out what it is?" Yu Qingzhi frowned, feeling that things were not as simple as they thought.
"We found out that they were selling illegal salt together with people from Caogang."
""
As soon as these words came out, everyone became uneasy.
If falsely spreading the imperial edict is a capital crime, then selling illegal salt is a major crime against the Nine Tribes!
It¡¯s better to go with the Cao Gang and these robbers!
Yu Qingzhi couldn¡¯t help but take a breath of cold air for the prefect and the governor. They were really shocked by the news.
"Is it true?" Feng Yanli originally thought that he was just colluding with the Cao Gang to oppress the people, but he never thought of selling illegal salt. For a moment, even he rarely showed a surprised expression.
Generally speaking, the intelligence collected by the company is basically correct. Their intelligence network is spread all over the place, which is precisely because Yu Qingzhi can always get first-hand intelligence. Since the company has already figured out the clues through investigation, there must be no lies.
"In other words, what we saw at the back door of the magistrate's house today is evidence of their crime of selling illegal salt?" Baili Xing was clear, but he didn't expect them to be so bold, so bold that they dared to carry it in broad daylight. Private salt.
Although he was talking to himself, everyone was silent after the store manager finished speaking. Even if he lowered his voice, people could hear him clearly.
Feng Yanli and Yu Qingzhi looked at him at the same time, thinking that they were really just going for a walk and accompanying Feng Baoyue for a walk, but they never thought that a blind cat really encountered a dead mouse, but Just bump into those people doing bad things.
"Have you seen it? In broad daylight?" Not to mention that Feng Yanli didn't believe it, and neither did Yu Qingzhi.
"You dare to move things in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of arousing others' suspicion?"
Good guy, I really hit the mark with the saying, "You can be as high as the mountain and the emperor is as far away as you are." They are no longer afraid of feelings.
Baili Xingran nodded, "It's at one of the side entrances of the magistrate's house. Are you interested, fourth brother? Let's go together in the evening?"
He raised his chin towards Baili Xingyu, feeling a little proud. He knew what his sixth brother meant. Since he happened to meet him, he would inevitably have to explore the magistrate's house tonight.
And others also knew that this matter was not a big problem for these two brothers, so they let them go.
The dinner was unusually quiet. The mother and daughter were not at the same table as them. Yu Qingzhi let her go, but still arranged for Qingying to take care of her.
After all, tonight¡¯s action came suddenly, so the two of them only made simple preparations and sneaked into the prefect¡¯s house at night.
