Chapter 1071: Being Locked up by Her Is Almost Ruining It
Liu Wei took the tea cup, but Fu Zichen stepped in and took the cup away, saying: "On this point, I agree with that person."
Liu Wei: "..."
That person undoubtedly refers to Rong Leng.
"What does this mean?" Fu Hongda was confused.
Liu Wei was a little embarrassed, so she could only say: "My throat feels uncomfortable. I haven't been able to drink tea for the past two days. I'm sorry."
It was just a small matter, so Fu Hongda didn't care and immediately ordered his servants to bring warm water.
Mr. Fu, on the other hand, wandered his eyes between Liu Wei and Fu Zichen for a while, then suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Third Prince, do you have any orders?"
"I don't dare to take the orders. I just have some matters. I hope the old man can make the decision and cooperate."
"thing?"
"The old man must also know about it. Not long ago, a brutal murder occurred on a large ship that came to Qingzhou Port to drop off passengers, involving a total of three lives. To this day, the case has not been solved."
Mr. Fu seemed to be unaware of this and raised his eyes to look at Fu Hongda.
Fu Hongda said: "I heard that there was such a thing, but doesn't it mean that the government has identified the suspect and is conducting an all-out search?"
"We just couldn't find it. The suspect is in Qingzhou and seems to have a backer. We just used the Qingzhou Prefect's troops, but we couldn't find him. Now that we have no other options, the third prince sent Liu to come and ask for help." At this point, Liu Wei stood up, raised her arms under her broad cloak, and cupped her hands in front of the old man to show her solemnity, "The old man is highly respected. If we want to arrest this suspect as soon as possible, we must rely on the efforts of the Fu family. The eldest master is the chief secretary of Qingzhou, the second master is the salt transport envoy to Liangjiang, and the third master is the general staff officer of Liangjiang. Whether it is the chief secretary's yamen, the salt transport envoy's yamen, or the counselor's yamen, their military strength must be tens of millions of Shengfu Yin yamen. If you can borrow troops..."
At this point, even though Fu Hongda knew he shouldn't, he couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Three brothers, I'm afraid..."
"Hongda." Mr. Fu stopped what Fu Hongda was saying, pondered for a moment, and asked: "If I persuade them and agree to lend troops, what will happen..."
"Don't worry, old man, Liu has brought the medicine here. You can take a look." Liu Wei said, taking out a porcelain bottle from his arms and putting it on the table.
Mr. Fu took it over, untied the stopper, smelled it, and smelled the smell of medicinal pills, but he was still uneasy: "This medicine is serious..."
"Liu has seen the eldest son's injury. Not to mention that this medicine can make him recover immediately. After strengthening the body and cultivating the body, and then using Liu's unique method, he will definitely wake up within seven days. "
With Master Liu's words, Mr. Fu was also moved.
But the old man did not agree immediately. Instead, he said: "This matter still needs to be discussed with the three of them. You can go back and I will give you an answer within today."
Liu Wei nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lao."
Mr. Fu raised his hand and motioned to Fu Hongda to see them off.
Fu Hongda sent me off diligently.
When they were sent to the gate, Fu Hongda couldn't help but said: "I think this is not the right thing to say, but Sir Liu, I'm afraid it's not easy to borrow troops."
Liu Wei paused, then looked back at Fu Hongda: "The fourth master seems to know something?"
Fu Hongda sighed and said, "It's true that my father is highly virtuous and respected, but since he returned home as a soldier, he has rarely been in charge of the family. The three brothers respect him and respect him, but when it comes to official matters, they are unlikely to listen to the old man's words." ...Especially if Zihan's incident happened again, I'm afraid the three brothers may have some resentment towards the third prince."
When Liu Wei heard what he said, she fell silent for a moment.
Fu Hongda just clicked and stopped and said nothing more. After he turned around and entered the house, Liu Weicai turned her head and asked Fu Zichen: "Your fourth uncle knows quite a lot."
Fu Zichen got on the carriage first and said, "It's this family. It's not surprising if they know about it."
Liu Wei asked on his heels: "Then do you think it is difficult or easy to borrow troops?"
"It's difficult." Fu Zichen answered quickly, "No matter what else, the Chief Secretary's Yamen will not borrow it."
Liu Wei said: "I think it's Yi."
Fu Zichen raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Liu Wei added: "A woman's intuition."
Fu Zichen sneered: "Do you still remember that you are a woman? It's not easy."
Liu Wei: "..."
The carriage was driving slowly, and Liu Wei couldn't help but lift the curtain again and look towards the gate of Fu Mansion for fun.
With its tall and wide entrance hall and the smooth and majestic fonts on the plaque, this home of the most powerful person in Qingzhou is becoming more and more interesting.
Back at the post house, Liu Wei went to the room where the snake keeper was being held. The person inside was severely restrained and was curled up into a ball and dozing on the ground.
Hearing the sound of the door, the snake keeper woke up and saw that it was Liu Wei, so he sat up straighter again.
"It's a little early for this afternoon nap," Liu Wei said casually.
The snake keeper remained silent and stared at Liu Wei with hidden vigilance.
Liu Wei pulled up a chair and sat down: "Let's talk more clearly about the matter between you and Mr. Fu."
The snake keeper suddenly frowned: "All, all, all..."
"Have you said it all? It won't work even if you say it all. There is not enough information. You have to think about it again." After saying that, Liu Wei took out the scalpel and said, "It's okay if you don't want to think about it. I will do it myself without using my brain." .”
The snake keeper was furious when he stared at Liu Wei's knife and wanted to rush over and bite her to death.
Liu Wei didn't mind being hated by others, so he said nonchalantly: "I'll count to three, one, two..."
"No, no, no, there is..."
"Since you made an appointment with Mr. Fu in Qianxifang, there must be a reason why it is Qianxifang. He is an old man. Even if he has the will and strength, it should be inappropriate to appear in that kind of place in broad daylight. Why didn’t you think of meeting somewhere else?”
Regarding this, the snake keeper has nothing to hide: "Secret, Tao..."
"Is there a secret passage in Qianxifang? What is in the secret passage?"
The snake keeper shook his head. He was caught before he saw anyone. How did he know?
"You haven't made an appointment before?"
The snake keeper still shook his head: "The first time..."
Liu Wei pondered deeply, her mind spinning rapidly.
…
As Mr. Fu said, a reply was indeed given within today.
The three families borrowed troops, but they only borrowed Fu Zichen's father and Fu Hongwang's Salt Transport Envoy Yamen.
"Do the other two families still have a chance?" Liu Wei asked Fu Hongda, who came to report on his behalf.
Fu Hongda frowned, shook his head after a while, and then added: "Second brother said that the Salt Transport Envoy Yamen can deploy two hundred elite soldiers, which should be quite a lot."
How many troops can be stationed in the yamen? There are only a few hundred soldiers coming and going. Two hundred are transferred at once. It is indeed a dedication, but Liu Wei's intention is not to borrow troops. The real snake keeper is locked up by her. If you mess up, you will go around the world to catch any culprits.
