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

As Qin Shu walked out of the study in Ji's mansion, she saw a man striding in from outside the courtyard.

The man had a full beard, was over seven feet tall, and his official uniform was bulging with fat.

Especially her belly, which looked like that of an eight-month pregnant woman. People couldn't help but worry about whether the three-foot-wide gold-studded belt could bear the weight of her falling belly.

As soon as the man entered the courtyard, he angrily shouted at Du He with a sullen face, "How do you do your job? The murder case of the deposed envoy has not been closed yet, and you let in strangers."

"If there is any important evidence missing, wouldn't it be difficult for Lord Ji to redress his grievances? Can you bear this responsibility?!"

Du He looked embarrassed. Before he could bow his head and apologize, Qin Shu had already looked him up and down with a cold face. She turned to ask Du He, "Whose servant is this? He broke in without notification and dared to speak so harshly to the superior?"

She sneered, "Master Du, you are a coward as the head of a prefecture. How can any cat or dog climb over your head and boss you around?"

Du He laughed awkwardly, "This is Sang Ju, the governor of Hedong Road, and Sang Jiezhen."

Qin Shu let out a long "Oh" and bowed slightly, "So you are from Sangjie Town. My apologies. I am Qin Shu, the governor of Linbei Road."

She smiled, "Qin Shu was used to seeing those beasts who relied on their power, and she was afraid of those lowly things. When Sang Jiezhen came in, he didn't even bring an attendant with him. Qin Shu thought he was a servant of some unruly family. Just now, I was very offended and offended."

Sang Yu glanced at Qin Shu and said contemptuously, "Qinjie Town?"

Qin Shu bowed slightly, "Yes, this town was assassinated in the Jiedufu of Linbei Road before, and it was identified that the assassins were from Hedong Road."

"This town has specially reported to Your Majesty, requesting that Hedong Dao join forces to investigate the case."

She sighed regretfully, "Unfortunately, the noble Sangjie Town is busy and has not responded. I dare not ask, for fear that no one in the Hedong Road Jiedufu can read and it will hurt Sangjie Town's self-esteem again."

Sang Yu's cheeks twitched twice, and he shouted angrily, "Qin Shu, how dare you humiliate this town!"

Qin Shu waved her hands, "No, no. I thought about it later. Since Sang Jiezhen was appointed as the governor of Hedong Road by the late emperor, how could he be illiterate?"

"I think it was the officials of the Hedong Circuit who were lazy and neglected their duties, deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and did not deliver the letter from this town to Sang Town."

She said earnestly, "Sang Jiezhen, this official servant dared to withhold the emperor's order. He will dare to rebel in the name of Jiezhen one day. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Jiezhen must be careful."

Sang Ju's eagle eyes narrowed dangerously.

He looked at Qin Shu coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes, and he wished he could eat Qin Shu alive.

Qin Shu pretended to be innocent, "Why is Sang Jiezhen looking at Qin Shu like this? Could it be that Qin Shu said something wrong?"

Sang Yu suddenly grinned with ill intentions, "I heard that there is a merchant's daughter named Qin in Jinzhou Prefecture, who is smart and resourceful. After meeting her today, I find that she is indeed extraordinary."

Qin Shu laughed, "Sangjie Town is too kind. That's just the kindness of the elders and villagers. It's not worth mentioning."

Sang Yu's face twitched again, and he spat in his heart: He had lived for decades, and this was the first time he saw a woman who was so shameless and would take advantage of anyone.

He rolled his eyes and asked, "Qin Jiezhen has been watching for a long time. What have you figured out?"

Qin Shu spread her hands, "No. Lord Ji has always been honest, selfless and diligent. He has always been impartial and selfless during his years as the dethronement envoy. Qin Shu is also deeply saddened by the murder of Lord Ji's family."

"However, Lord Ji was the deposed envoy of Hedong Dao, and he was murdered in Yingzhou Prefecture. It is the responsibility of Sang Jiezhen and Lord Du to investigate this case, find the murderer, and bring him to justice to comfort Lord Ji's spirit in heaven. Qin Shu, please don't interfere."

She turned around, took the thick stack of papers from Zhu Zhi, picked up the top sheet, and shook it in front of Sang Ju, "Qin Shu is here to ask Sang Jiezhen to assist in the investigation of the assassination attack on the Linbei Road Jiedu Mansion last time."

Sang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and just as he was about to move forward to take a closer look, the portrait had already been taken back by Qin Shu.

Sang Yu was filled with anger after hearing Qin Shu's words. He said with a gloomy face: "Qin Jiezhen came at an untimely time. Ji Wei's murder is more important..."

Before he could finish, Qin Shu quickly waved her hand and said, "That was Qin Shu's previous plan. I only found out that Lord Ji's family had been murdered when I arrived at Hedong Road."

"Sangjie Town should first find the murderer who killed Master Ji and cut him into pieces to comfort Master Ji's soul in heaven."

As she spoke, Qin Shu took out a handkerchief and gently pressed the corners of her eyes.

She sniffed and said to Sang Ju, who looked unhappy, "I won't bother Sang Jiezhen with investigating the assassin in this Jiedufu."

As she spoke, she called Fu Rong, "A Rong, the banknotes."

Fu Ying took out a thick stack of paper rolls from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu took it, unfolded it, and clapped her hands twice, "This is a silver note worth five hundred thousand taels."

There was a sudden sound of people inhaling gasps all around.

Qin Shu looked at Sang Yu's livid face, curled her lips slightly, and said with a cheerful expression: "The thing that this town lacks the least is money. As the saying goes: Money makes the devil work, and a big reward will always attract brave men."

"This time, our town has also brought the portrait of the previous assassin. Our town only needs to borrow three feet of open space in front of the governor's mansion to post the notice."

"Anyone who can provide the assassin's identity, as long as the information is accurate, will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver."

"If you can identify the mastermind who sent the assassin to commit the crime, and the information is accurate, you will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver."

The people around suddenly became as quiet as chickens.

Qin Shu said a little embarrassedly: "In fact, this town does not want to be so extravagant. The main reason is that the lives of our people are more valuable. Compared with the safety of our people, this little bit of silver is nothing."

The corners of Sang Yu's mouth twitched for a while, and then he said sinisterly, "Someone come here."

Someone came forward and bowed.

Sang Yu stared at Qin Shu and said slowly, "Take Qin Jiezhen to the governor's mansion." He paused, "In front of the gate."

The man bowed his head and responded.

Qin Shu smiled slightly and bowed towards Sang Ju, "Sang Jie Town is busy."

After saying that, he led everyone away.

Sang Yu's gloomy gaze moved from Qin Shu's back to Fu Yan, and finally fell on the guard who followed closely behind Fu Yan.

Not until the group mounted their horses and rode away did Sang Ju withdraw his gaze and give Du He a cold look.

Du He shuddered all over, bowed quickly to Sang Yu, and quickly walked out of Ji's house.

Qin Shu arrived at the door of the governor's mansion and handed the portrait to Yu Qing.

Yu Qing took his men to the governor's office and asked the yamen runners for glue, and pasted all the portraits on the wall.

He borrowed another gong and started banging it. "Everyone, come and take a look. Lord Qin Shu, the governor of Linbei Road, has ordered that anyone who knows or has seen the portrait and can provide its identity will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver if it is verified to be correct!"

Soon someone was attracted over.
