Chapter 457 Secretly arrived in Ningzhou
The letter was not very detailed, and even Zhou Zhaohe's name was not mentioned on it.
Qi Hengzhi only wrote that the gentleman came to Ningzhou.
Jiang Si knew it was Zhou Zhaohe.
In the past, it was Lin Qi who was in charge of Ningzhou, but the person behind it has always been Zhou Jingxuan.
Jiang Si put the letter away and waited for Zhou Jingxuan to come back.
Zhou Zhaohe has been searching for so long but there is no news. Unexpectedly, he is still in Ningzhou.
Thinking about it, he didn't know what method he used to hide it from the people sent by Zhou Jingxuan.
It's good to find someone. Now that I know he's in Ningzhou, I feel at ease.
Jiang Si asked Chunzhu to give rewards to the little beggar and the concierge, and they both went out happily.
The concierge's attitude toward the little beggar became much better. He put the broken silver in his arms and said, "Little beggar, I didn't expect that what you said is true."
"I'm ready to be punished."
"Are you still in the capital these days?"
"I'll treat you to a drink when I have time."
The little beggar's eyes were bright. It was also his first time in the capital. Since he had delivered Master Qi's things, he could just stay in the capital for a few more days.
Anyway, he is just a beggar. Even if he doesn't return to Ningzhou in the future, it doesn't matter. There won't be any worries.
The capital was more prosperous than he had ever seen before, so he naturally wanted to stay a few more days.
The little beggar nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for you."
The concierge responded with a smile before sending the little beggar away.
Zhou Jingxuan came back at night. After returning, Jiang Si told Zhou Jingxuan what happened in Ningzhou.
Zhou Jingxuan's expression became more solemn: "If Zhou Zhaohe is in Ningzhou, then we have to take action quickly."
"I will go to Ningzhou tomorrow."
"The silver originally shipped to Wu Rong basically came from Ningzhou."
"He stays in Ningzhou and controls the Qi family and the Zheng family, which is equivalent to controlling the money of the entire Jiangbei."
"If Qi Hengzhi hadn't sent the message and it had been a little longer, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Jiang Si knew that if time passed, Ningzhou would completely fall into Zhou Zhaohe's hands.
Owning Ningzhou is equivalent to having the entire Jiangbei area in his pocket.
By then they will definitely not find any news about Zhou Zhaohe in Jiangbei.
If we let it go, a few years or ten years would be enough for Zhou Zhaohe to do it again.
The memory of the original owner engraved in Jiang Si's bones seemed to become particularly clear at this moment.
The noble ladies of the Zhou Dynasty were imprisoned in one place, and they were left naked for people to play with.
Not even the most basic dignity.
Jiang Si is not a saint, although the two countries have their own positions in the war.
But what Wu Rong did was really too much.
The original owner had experienced it personally, and it was as if Jiang Si had experienced it personally. The fear engraved in her bones made her tremble slightly.
Zhou Jingxuan noticed her abnormality and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Si shook her head: "I will go to Ningzhou with you."
She had to watch Zhou Zhaohe commit suicide with her own eyes before she would feel at ease.
As for Wu Rong Kingdom, Jiang Si knew that Zhou Jingxuan already had a plan in mind.
The next day Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan set off directly for Ningzhou.
But Zhou Zhaohe knew nothing.
Not only Zhou Zhaohe didn't know, but no one in the capital knew that Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan had left the capital for Ningzhou.
Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan did not leak any information.
It has been several days since we arrived in Ningzhou. Ningzhou is now strictly guarded and anyone with a fresh face will be caught and interrogated every day.
However, all of this was done secretly. If it had been done openly, the abnormality in Ningzhou would have already been spread.
When Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan arrived in Ningzhou, the first person they met was not Zheng Lang, but Qi Hengzhi, who had sent them a message.
Qi Hengzhi had just come back from outside that day. As soon as he entered the room, he felt something was wrong.
In the past, there were always maids and servants in his courtyard, but today when he walked from the courtyard to his own residence, he didn't see any servants.
Entering the room felt even more wrong.
He subconsciously thought that the letter he sent was discovered by Zhou Zhaohe's people.
He was suddenly startled and subconsciously wanted to run away. But the next moment, he saw Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan.
This time Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan came to Ningzhou without anyone.
Firstly, they were afraid that there would be too many people and there would be too much noise, so that Zhou Zhaohe would find out in advance. Secondly, it was enough for them and the two of them to capture one Zhou Zhaohe.
It would be easier if two people came together.
The moment Qi Hengzhi saw Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Here comes the person he wants to see the most!
Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground and said, "Hengzhi has met the prince and the princess."
Zhou Jingxuan said calmly: "Get up."
"You should know the purpose of our coming."
Qi Hengzhi replied respectfully: "I know."
"Have you received my letter?"
Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan nodded, and Qi Heng immediately felt happy.
It seems that I made the right bet.
Zhou Jingxuan's eyes fell on Qi Hengzhi and looked at him for a few times: "Why did you send me a letter?"
"It stands to reason that Zhou Zhaohe came to Ningzhou, shouldn't you be more happy?"
"After all, he was the person behind you."
A hint of bitterness appeared on Qi Hengzhi's face: "The prince is joking."
"Hengzhi clearly knows what the Qi family is in the eyes of that adult."
"In the past, I thought that as long as we did what the Lord ordered, he would protect us even if something happened."
"But when something happened to a prominent family in Ningzhou, he did not hesitate to cut off contact with me and abandon us."
"No matter how stupid Hengzhi is, he will never think that his coming to Ningzhou is a good thing."
After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Jingxuan and said word by word: "So, I would rather believe you, Your Majesty."
The expression on Zhou Jingxuan's face changed, and his eyes were filled with appreciation.
Qi Hengzhi is indeed a talent, but the Qi family has done too many shady things.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid that after I capture Zhou Zhaohe, I will settle the previous score with you?"
Qi Hengzhi paused, then lowered his head: "So Hengzhi took a gamble."
"I want to take credit for my crime."
"I wonder if you can give me this opportunity, Your Majesty!"
Zhou Jingxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Si, and saw the same thought as his in Jiang Si's eyes.
He curled his lips and said, "It's not impossible, it just depends on how powerful your skill is!"
Qi Hengzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew that he was right in this risky gamble.
A hint of joy appeared on his face and he said slowly: "I wonder if helping the prince to capture the master counts?"
"If it doesn't count, please ask the prince to spare the lives of my Qi family members and leave some property so that they can survive."
"As for me……"
A wry smile appeared on his face. The sins he had done must be repaid.
Sure enough, God's way is clear, he owes this.
"I am willing to pay with my life for what I have done."
