The Record of Righteousness

Qi Family Mansion.

Qi Gong was sipping the fine tea in his study while looking through the business books, which recorded the details of their business's transactions with various powers in the Kingdom.

The contents are top secret for the Qi family and must not be read by outsiders.

Qi Gong looked through the business books, sipped his tea from time to time, and sighed:

"This business is getting more and more difficult."

In recent years, many business houses have emerged in various parts of Beizhili, taking away a lot of their business, although the Qi family's smuggling business is a huge one in Beizhili.

But they could not suppress other businesses to death, and the imperial court also knew this truth. Only when these businesses compete can they gain greater benefits, so they imposed heavy taxes on many businesses.

"I'm really old. From now on, the burden of the Qi family will fall on Shufeng's shoulders. I hope I make the right move to start the family."

At this time, a boy ran over and said:

"Master, there is a man outside the house who wants to see me. He is yelling about something like meeting Dongchang's father-in-law."

"Oh? Can you tell me this person's name?" Qi Gong frowned and put down the tea in his hand.

"The villain asked him, but he didn't say anything. He just said that he had something urgent and asked to see you, sir."

Qi Gong was greatly puzzled and thought for a long time before giving the order:

"Please come to the living room quickly. I want to see who this person is."

"Yes." The boy went down in a hurry.

Qi Gong came to the living room surrounded by a group of servants.

I saw a man in ragged clothes, covered in blood, sitting on a chair, holding a plate and eating cakes by himself. It looked like he was starving.

Qi Gong frowned, feeling that this person was unfamiliar and had never seen him before. He was quite disgusted with this person's rudeness and asked directly:

"Who are you?"

After hearing this, Wan Qing reluctantly put down the plate, stood up, cupped his hands, and said straight to the point:

"I'm the foreman of the Royal Horse Supervisor, Wan Qing. I came here today to ask for a favor."

Qi Gong waved his hand to ask the servants and maids to leave, then motioned Wan Qing to sit down and asked:

"I wonder why Eunuch Wan has come to see me?"

"I have long heard that the Qi family has a relationship with Dongchang. I just wanted to see Dongchang's father-in-law today to discuss cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Qi Gong was a little confused.

Aren't Yuma Jian and Dongchang incompatible? Which song is this guy singing?

Could this person be sent by the Royal Horse Inspector to investigate their details?

But after all, everyone who comes is a guest, so first ask him what his purpose is.

Thinking of this, Qi Gong immediately put on a kind smile on his face, stroked his beard and said:

"My father-in-law is wrong. Dongchang is now a subordinate of His Majesty. How can my Qi family have anything to do with Dongchang? My father-in-law should go back and forth from wherever he comes from."

Wan Qing was not annoyed and said with a smile:

"I heard that the Qi family's business was attacked by our Royal Horse Prison at a certain port. The Qi family's horses and Dongchang suffered heavy losses."

"So what?"

Qi Gong's smile remained unchanged, but there was a bit more murderous intent behind this smile.

"The people in the Royal Horse Prison didn't touch your smuggled weapons. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives. The things they took away are probably very important to you."

"If you, the head of the family, want to recover some losses, then take me to see my father-in-law in Dongchang as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."

Wan Qing didn't want to waste any more time with him, so after finishing speaking, he drank tea by himself, looking forward to Qi Gong's expression.

The living room was eerily quiet. At this time, Qi Gong looked gloomy and asked in a low voice:

"Then what is your plan, father-in-law?"

The intention behind these words is obvious, that is, to distrust him.

Moreover, he had not yet figured out why the eunuch in front of him betrayed the Royal Horse Superintendent.

Wan Qing smiled and said:

"What purpose can a eunuch in our family have? It's just for my sake. I hope all the people will be happy and the sea will be peaceful all around."

Wan Qing's words were so upright and just like a patriot.

Qi Gong was a very old man, but he was confused by Wan Qing's words, so he tried to say:

"Then...father-in-law really wants to work with Dongchang?"

Qigong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wanqing Gourd.

"That's natural!" Wan Qing replied sincerely.

"It's useless to talk more. Please ask the head of the family to take our family to see Dongchang's father-in-law as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I will take you there now."

Qi Gong stood up and immediately ordered his servants to prepare for departure.

. . .

North Zhili, Dongchang secret sentry.

Qi Gong asked the servants carrying the sedan to wait not far away. He took only a few close followers and took Wan Qing to visit Dongchang's father-in-law.

Qi Shufeng had already started working for Dongchang a long time ago, so he expected that this request would probably not be rejected.

Qi Gong bowed his hand to a factory guard dressed like a farmer at the door and said politely:

"I also ask this lord to inform Eunuch Li that the Qi family has something urgent to ask for."

The factory guard looked around at everyone with a strange look on his face, and without daring to delay, he said:

"Everyone, please wait a moment."

He immediately hurried to report it.

Not long after, the factory guard returned and said:

"Eunuch Li has invited you all, but we need to search you beforehand. No weapons are allowed in."

"This is also my duty, please bear with me."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Qi Gong said with a smile.

Following the leader's instructions, several factory guards immediately searched everyone and confiscated only the weapons carried by Qi Gong's trusted guards.

The factory guard felt that there was nothing wrong with everyone, so he made a gesture of invitation:

"Everyone, please come in."

Qi Gong signaled several trusted guards to stay where they were, and he walked in with the ragged Wan Qing.
