I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Chapter 154 The man behind the scenes is him

"There's nothing good about staying in this remote place in the first place. Now that we have what we want, it's best to leave before the imperial court's minions arrive."

"Are you worried about the new gold official?"

"Hmph, that ninth-rank official is nothing to worry about. The trouble is the Qingyun Zuoqi who follows her. Shang Wenqi, that little bastard, has a very sharp nose. Don't let him smell something wrong."

The conversation between the few people ended quickly, and then they went about their business.

After Ning Ning finished eating the melon, she glanced at Shang Wenqi silently, as if she was thinking about the value of this man's words.

He actually called Shang Wenqi a little bastard. It was obvious that they had an old grudge against each other.

What kind of old hatred could there be between an elder of Buyi Village and a commander-in-chief of Qingyun Left Cavalry? Could it be that Shang Wenqi had led people to suppress bandits before?

"You have fought each other?"

Although it was a question, Ning Ning felt that it shouldn't be that simple. After all, with Shang Wenqi's methods, if they really fought, there would be no grass left. Shang Wenqi was not a good person.

At this time, Shang Wenqi's expression was a little grim. After a while, he threw out two words: "Old acquaintance"

Old acquaintance...

This is subtle.

There was a hint of teasing in Ning Ning's eyes.

Shang Wenqi didn't want to say much and just prepared to leave.

"Are we just leaving like this?" Ning Ning was a little confused.

"if not?"

"Why don't we follow that team? If we don't follow now, we'll have no chance in the future." After all, the world is so big and there is no surveillance here.

"Didn't they just say that the things were going to Bazhou?" Shang Wenqi said lightly.

Ning Ning muttered unconsciously: "Bazhou, why does it sound familiar?"

Shang Wenqi looked at her coldly and said, "You forgot where you sent the eagle."

"!" Ning Ning was startled and almost fell from the tree.

"Really...really Prince Ju?"

I almost forgot about this person.

Now, after Shang Wenqi said this, she finally remembered.

I had heard from the storyteller before that Prince Ju's fiefdom seemed to be in Bazhou, and that he had a Bazhou princess who died early. He had been accompanying the princess in his fiefdom for many years.

Not to mention what's in the boxes in Qinglongzhai, the mere fact that they were shipped to Bazhong is suspicious enough.

Could it be that the one who actually intercepted the 100,000 taels of gold was Prince Ju?

As for the Empress Dowager, was she just making wedding dresses for others?

Thinking about this, Ning Ning felt that it made sense.

At this time, I finally understood why Shang Wenqi did not continue to follow but went back home first.

If this incident is really related to Prince Ju, then it is another case of rebellion involving a royal family member.

Ning Ning shook her head helplessly. This is why it is really hard to be in the royal family. They are often involved in treason.

Whether they are in power or not, they all want to rebel.

The two were silent all the way back, after all, this was a difficult battle.

After a while, the two returned to the mansion. At that time, Zhou Mingyu had not yet slept and was waiting in the meeting hall.

Obviously he knew Shang Wenqi would go out.

But I didn't expect Shang Wenqi to bring Ning Ning with him. The two of them came back together, and they were wearing the same black clothes. It really is true that they look very well matched.

While pleasing to the eyes, he couldn't help but tease: "You two, even the night visit requires you to be together, you are too clingy."

Shang Wenqi did not answer this question directly, but told Zhou Mingyu the information he had just received.

Zhou Mingyu only looks young on the outside, his actual age is a secret and he is very mature mentally. When Shang Wenqi is not around, he, the gossipy Zuo Yan, the sleepwalking Song Sijing, and the serious Lin Chen are the leaders of the Qingyun Zuoqi.

Therefore, as long as these people are around, they usually discuss things together.

"Qinglong Village is related to Bazhou..." Zhou Mingyu was shocked after hearing what the two said, and soon he thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that the 100,000 taels of gold they took away? Shouldn't we be able to intercept them right away?"

Ning Ning shook her head: "It shouldn't be. The gold was lost almost two months ago. Even if it was Qinglong who did it, these two long months were enough for him to transfer the gold. It is impossible for it to stay in Buyi Village."

"It's possible that they robbed Buyi Village. After all, he has only been in control of Buyi Village for a short time."

"If it was really the gold that was stolen from Buyi Village, the people of Buyi Village would not have said nothing. Don't forget that the remaining members of Buyi Village are in our hands now."

There was nothing wrong with this statement. Zhou Mingyu could not find any other explanation for it. "Then what did they take away?"

"According to my guess, this is probably the wealth accumulated by Buyi Village through robbery over the years. Qinglong Village probably heard that Buyi Village had been destroyed, and was worried that Qinglong Village would suffer the same fate, so they simply transferred their property and gave up this area."

"They actually think so highly of us." Zhou Mingyu felt incredible. Bandits have always been arrogant and think they are the best in the world.

There are only ten people in their team.

"He didn't think highly of the ten of us, but of the Qingyun Left Cavalry. After all, the news that we wiped out the Buyi Village, dismissed the governor of Qizhou, and requested support from the court has already spread today.

According to normal developments, the imperial court would also strike while the iron is hot and send people here at this time to stabilize Qizhou while clearing up the bandit problem in this area."

There will be a war sooner or later, so they might as well avoid it before the war comes.

It has to be said that such thinking is rare. After all, in ancient times, most people took defending their homeland as their mission.

Especially the hard-won Buyi Village headquarters, which they just abandoned.

All we can say is that they don't regard this place as their home, their home is somewhere else.

If it were the Ming Cult, if the six major sects had besieged Guangmingding and the Ming Cult had simply run back to its headquarters in Persia, Zhang Wuji would probably have been out of luck.

Coupled with their military-like discipline, they seemed even more suspicious.

"By the way, I do have an idea." Ning Ning suggested silently: "How about we do something thief robs thief?"

"What do you mean?"

"Although what they transported away was not 100,000 taels of gold, it was also the savings of Buyi Village. If we cannot find the 100,000 taels of gold, with these as compensation, it should be considered half of the mission completed."

She looked at Shang Wenqi hopefully.

It's not that she is pessimistic, she just recognizes the reality.

She didn't think that the 100,000 taels of gold could be recovered once it fell into Prince Ju's hands.

If the money really came into his hands, he would not be so stupid as to keep it and not use it. If she were him, she would also exchange the money for supplies as soon as possible.

After all, the whole world belongs to the emperor. It is not peace to put the money in your pocket. Only when you spend it can you feel truly at ease.

Shang Wenqi also understood Ning Ning's intention, but he looked at the date and shook his head: "No."

"Why?" Ning Ning asked? "Are you worried that we are too few in number to defeat them?"
