If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Liu Meng listened and smiled at Dou Xu, the chief officer of Yanzhou, and said, "Look, what do you think I said? This woman should stay at home, have children, support her husband, educate her children, and serve her parents-in-law. This is the right way."

"People like Qin, who have no parents or elders to discipline them, are the ones who show up in public all day long. This is really immoral. Yet they are shameless and are proud of it."

He sighed deeply and raised his sleeves complacently, "As long as Qin is pregnant, will the Fu family master still let her run around outside and hang out with men all day long?"

Dou Xu gave him a thumbs up and said, "Your Excellency is truly wise and resourceful. I, your humble servant, am ashamed of myself."

Liu Meng snorted and continued, "Let's take a step back. If the Fu family head really lets Qin do what she wants, let's see what she wants to do first."

"If she wants to take over the salt well, then..."

Liu Yan raised his hand and fiercely crossed it to his neck, his eyes full of murderous intent, "If she was just trying to prepare food and open a shop, as long as people gave her a little trouble, she would have no time to care about other things."

"A woman, even if she has great willpower and ruthless means, will never achieve great things if she is foolish and shallow."

"Especially since she has children to worry about, she has to think carefully before doing anything, even for the sake of her children's safety."

Dou Xu agreed deeply and nodded repeatedly.

Liu Meng sighed again, "And the Jiedu Mansion needs to be repaired as soon as possible. As long as Qin stays in the Jiedu Mansion, we can pay her a little more in salt tax, which will be considered as a few days of peace for us."

Dou Xu nodded, "Your Excellency is right. I will report this to Master Meng when I return. I will also send someone to Jizhou Prefecture to deliver a message to Master Zhang."

Liu Meng thought for a moment and then whispered, "When this batch of salt leaves the valley, the county magistrate will give them some money to keep their mouths shut."

"A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole."

Liu Chen tapped the table with his fingers, "Remind them again, the Jiedushi also serves as the Linbei Dao Demotion Envoy."

In Linbei Road, who has a clean bottom?

Once the governor finds out about their criminal records, they will have no shortage of heads to chop off.

Only if everyone joins hands and works together to face the outside world in unity can we overcome this difficulty.

Dou Xu whispered, "What about the Qingyan County Magistrate?"

"You mean Cheng Mao?"

Liu Chen sneered and said, "How did Cheng Mao get demoted from being a provincial governor and a third-rank official to this remote mountainous area? And how did his mentor, Grand Tutor Wei, fall from power?"

"The Jiedushi's parents died at the hands of his brother. Even if Cheng Mao was not the main culprit, he was an accomplice. Later, there was a scandal of a replacement bride, and the Jiedushi broke off the engagement in the street."

Liu Meng shook his head. "The grudge between the two families is simply too complicated to be resolved. There is no way to resolve it."

Dou Xu's face was filled with shock. "So those rumors about the Jiedushi are actually true?"

Liu Meng said coldly, "It would be difficult for a woman in this world to keep her family wealth without help from others. Qin Shi was quite courageous. She donated all her family property to His Majesty, and only then did she receive His Majesty's protection."

He suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "I heard that His Majesty is very obedient and dotes on this Qin. But this Qin is involved with the head of the Fu family..."

Liu Yan's eyes rolled and he chuckled, "Tell me, if His Majesty knew that Qin was in Linbei Road, hanging out with the head of the Fu family all day, and even recruiting male favorites, what would he think?"

Dou Xu burst out laughing.

The two laughed for a while, and Dou Xu whispered Meng Qi's plan to Liu Meng.

As they were talking, it was already the end of the hour of Hai.

A bailiff came in hurriedly and said, "Sir, a steward named Xu wants to see you."

Your surname is Xu?

Manager?

Dou Xu's eyes turned and he asked softly, "Is there something wrong with those goods?"

When the steward came to see the governor, except for the people from the mountains, no one else had that much face.

Liu Meng quickly ordered: "Let him in."

The person who came was Xu Jiu.

Xu Jiu walked in and paid his respects. Seeing that Liu Meng did not let Dou Xu leave, he knew that this person also knew the truth.

Without waiting to get up from the ground, he said anxiously, "Sir, there is a landslide in the canyon, and the convoy can't pass."

Liu Meng was shocked and asked quickly, "What's going on?"

Xu Jiu said: "They are rocks that rolled down from the mountain. But when the people who were receiving the goods entered the canyon, the rocks were not there yet."

"Before, the Jiedushi was hunting in the mountains, and I heard thunder and firecrackers. Could it be..." related to those noises?

Liu Meng and Dou Xu looked at each other and asked, "Are there many rocks?"

"There are many. Some are as big as a carriage. It is very difficult to clear them. If we want to clear a path that can accommodate a carriage, it may take ten days or half a month."

so much?

The Jiedushi went into the mountains to hunt, bringing less than three hundred men with him.

These people didn't bring any tools, so how could they cause the mountain to collapse, and collapse so much?

If it was man-made, how did she do it?

If it's not man-made, could it be a coincidence?

Liu Meng was a little confused. He stood up and paced back a few steps. "Don't produce salt from the salt wells recently. Let the people in the mountains go to the canyon to clear the road."

He also instructed Dou Xu, "Go back to Yanzhou overnight and tell Lord Meng to send more craftsmen to try to complete the renovation of the Jiedu Mansion before the end of the month."

Settle that woman down quickly so she doesn't run around anymore.

After receiving the order, Dou Xu and Xu Jiu left.

The next day, Qin Shu wanted to take people to the mountains to hunt again, but was stopped by Liu Yan, "Let the governor know that there was a lot of rain recently, and the rocks have been soaked by the rain and are a little loose."

"Last night, I received a message from the magistrate of Wanglong County saying that there have been landslides in the mountains recently, which is very unsafe. For the safety of the town, it is better not to go into the mountains these days."

Qin Shu suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder we heard thunder in Benjie Town yesterday when we were on the mountain. We thought it was thunder on a sunny day, but it turned out to be a landslide."

She smacked her lips with some regret, "Well, since we can't go into the mountains, it's better for Benjie Town to go back to Yanzhou."

Liu Meng smiled and bent down, but he was wondering in his heart: Was it really not her fault?

Qin Shu bowed to Liu Yan and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu, for your hospitality yesterday. When the Jiedu Mansion is repaired, please do me the honor of coming to the mansion for a banquet."

Liu Meng smiled and replied, "Of course, of course."

Qin Shu turned back to the carriage and casually ordered, "Return to Yanzhou."

Liu Yan bowed his head and saluted, "I respectfully send you off."

Qin Shu nodded slightly, "Sir, please stay."

Halfway through the journey, Qin Shu suddenly called out, "Ma Lai."

Ma Lai quickly rode forward and asked, "What do you want, General?"

Qin Shu lifted the carriage curtain, handed Ma Lai two small scrolls of silk, and whispered, "Give these two scrolls to the governor of Yunzhou and the magistrate of Qingyang County, then hide them and wait for news."

"If there is no movement from Yunzhou and Qingyang within three days, you will take this letter."

She handed another letter to Ma Lai, "Go to Qinlong Pass to find General Mu. When the matter over there is settled, come back and tell me the result."

Malay bowed in response, took the letter and put it in his arms.

As the convoy continued to move forward, Malay quietly left the team.
