Chapter 214 Big Scam
At this time, the officials of Chen State were almost on the verge of a conflict with the envoys of Yan State.
But soon, Jiang Zuo said again: "Forget it, let them search."
Hearing this, Qin Yu was shocked.
The officer's hand, which was tightly gripping the knife handle, slowly relaxed.
"Ma'am, come out."
Jiang Zuo suddenly said something in the direction of the carriage.
"lady?"
The group of officers and soldiers frowned.
There seemed to be no movement in the carriage.
Jiang Zuo frowned, lifted the curtain of the carriage, stuck his head in, and winked at Qin Yu.
There was still some nervousness in Qin Yu's eyes at this moment, and he did not move.
Jiang Zuo had already told her before that he wanted her to play the role of Jiang Zuo's wife, but when it really came to this moment, Qin Yu felt a little panicked.
Before Qin Yu could recover, Jiang Zuo grabbed her hand and walked out of the carriage together.
As soon as Qin Yu appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
Her dress and makeup were completely different from Qin Yu's previous appearance.
At first glance, she is indeed a graceful and elegant young lady.
The group of officers kept looking at Qin Yu, feeling confused.
Compared to that wanted poster, it seems...completely different.
Since she is the wife of the envoy from the State of Yan, it would be difficult for these officials from the State of Chen to provoke her.
Qin Yu forced herself to calm down, her face calm, and she inadvertently held Jiang Zuo's hand tightly.
"Now that you have checked everything, can you please give way?"
Jiang Zuo said calmly.
The officer looked away, walked to the carriage, and lifted the curtain to take a look.
There is no one inside.
He was really worried, so he asked his subordinates to check it again, even under the car.
Apart from the extremely beautiful young lady, there really seemed to be nothing strange.
"Do you intend to embarrass us Yan people?"
Jiang Zuo said in a questioning tone.
The officer looked solemn, turned around and said, "Please be patient, this is just a routine inspection, please don't take it seriously, sorry to bother you."
Having said that, he made way.
Jiang Zuo took Qin Yu back to the carriage.
The convoy slowly drove out of the city and finally left Guangning City.
Qin Yu sat in the carriage, breathing rapidly. At this moment, she was still holding Jiang Zuo's hand tightly, refusing to let go.
"We are safe."
Jiang Zuo said.
Qin Yu nodded slightly and remained silent.
The road ahead was full of unknowns, and she felt a little uneasy.
The convoy left the city and walked only a few miles when Jiang Zuo suddenly said, "Get off the car and ride away on horseback."
Jiang Zuo anticipated that the group of Chen people would never give up, and the only way to be truly safe was to reach Yan State as soon as possible.
……
Guangning County Government Office.
Pan Hou had just taken a short rest when he heard his subordinates come to report: "Sir, the envoy from Yan State has left Guangning City."
"Oh?" Pan Hou stood up suddenly, stroked his beard, and frowned, "So sudden?"
After a moment of silence, Pan Hou asked, "Have you searched thoroughly? Is there anything unusual?"
"We have searched twice. The Yan State envoy's convoy has only gold, silver and treasures, and some ordinary luggage. There is nothing wrong. However, the Yan State envoy brought a woman with him, saying that she was his wife. There is nothing else unusual."
"Madam? How can Jiang Zuo have a madam?" Pan Hou was shocked. After thinking for a moment, he immediately cursed, "You bunch of idiots, you call this nothing unusual? That woman is clearly a traitor from the Qin family. You have all been deceived by Jiang Zuo, stupid!"
Pan Hou's anger was evident in his words.
But the subordinate also scratched his head and said in confusion: "But sir, that woman doesn't look like the Qin family's rebel at all."
"Jiang Zuo is very cunning, so it's not surprising that he would do anything." Pan Hou could only say anxiously: "Send someone to chase him now! Immediately!"
Half an hour later, the subordinate returned to the county government office again and reported with an uneasy look: "Sir, the group of Yan people have returned to Yan State..."
"waste."
Pan Hou could only roar helplessly.
Quang Ninh City Market.
Today is the "Bond Trading Day". As soon as the sky was slightly bright, a large number of wealthy businessmen dressed in noble clothes gathered in front of the store.
Since the launch of "Qiandong Bonds", the wealth of these wealthy businessmen has almost doubled.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the shop.
"Why don't you open the door yet?"
"Don't worry, Boss Pang is very trustworthy and will never cheat us."
Pang Li had never broken his promise in so many previous transactions, and they believed that the wealthy businessman Qian Dong would definitely show up as promised.
It was almost dusk, and the door of Qiandong Financing Bank was still tightly closed.
"Oh no, maybe he has already run away."
Someone shouted like this, and the others were all terrified.
In a rage, everyone kicked open the door of the shop.
The shop that was previously filled with gold and silver is now empty.
"Pangli ran away with the money!"
This news quickly spread throughout Guangning City.
"Go and report to the official!"
County government office.
Pan Hou was extremely anxious. Faced with the anger of these aristocratic and wealthy businessmen, he could only feel helpless.
He had thought that Qian Dongren was fake from the beginning, and that group of wealthy businessmen had to give money to others.
Now that he has been deceived, he comes to put pressure on him as a prefect.
What a hassle.
At this time, Zheng Mingxu rushed into the Guangning County Office with an angry face. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Did you catch the liar?"
Pan Hou sighed and shook his head.
"No matter what, you must find that Qian Dongren for me!"
Zheng Mingxu said angrily.
He had previously earned nearly ten thousand taels of silver from Pang Li, so he made up his mind and invested one hundred thousand taels of silver directly.
A full one hundred thousand taels.
I thought I could easily earn 10,000 taels of silver, but I didn't expect to be cheated.
Compared with other wealthy businessmen, Zheng Mingxu's 100,000 taels is really not a lot.
I heard that a wealthy businessman from the capital invested 500,000 taels in one go, and boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, banknotes, calligraphy and paintings were all taken away by a swindler.
This is a great humiliation for the State of Chen!
"This person must have planned this for a long time. I'm afraid he has already escaped. How can we find him?"
Pan Hou said with a hint of indifference.
"If your Guangning County Court had not found out the identity of the thief, would such a disaster have occurred?"
Zheng Mingxu became angry and began to blame Pan Hou.
"Minister Zheng, I have already warned you before, but you didn't listen and insisted on joining the game. Now that you have been deceived, why are you putting the blame on me?"
Pan Hou said in a low voice.
"What do you mean?"
Zheng Mingxu was extremely anxious and angry at this moment.
"You can only blame yourself for being greedy."
Pan Hou said calmly.
Zheng Mingxu could only roar in anger.
"I heard that Jiang Zuo also often invested money. If that's true, why didn't he go to collect the debt, but left Guangning as soon as possible?"
Pan Hou felt more suspicious.
Oh no, could this be planned by Jiang Zuo?
Considering that Jiang Zuo had just arrived in Guangning City and so many strange things had happened, it was hard for Pan Hou not to doubt him...
