Chapter 285 Control of the Government Office
Cai Qi and the officers he brought with him saw that the ground was covered with snakes, insects, rats and ants, which surrounded them tightly.
Everyone was so scared that they were sweating coldly. Soon Qianqian and Dahua covered their noses and retreated into the woodshed.
In fact, the smell of urine from these twenty-odd men is no less lethal than the scorpions and venomous snakes on the ground.
Qian Qian covered his nose and ordered the secret guard, "Go and find Shen Qiniang from the Xinghuo Girls' School, An Zheng from the Relief House, and A Qingpo from the Elderly Care Center."
"Yes."
The secret guard took the order and left.
Lin Jin and Lin Yin had brought people and carried the bodies of four of their companions out of the woodshed.
Qian Qian looked at the four young faces and felt very uncomfortable.
Lin Jin's face was covered in dust and his eyes were filled with tears. "Princess, their funeral affairs will be left to Jinzi."
Lin Yin pursed her lips and nodded, "Me too,"
Qian Qian took a deep breath and said, "Buy good coffins and have someone send them back to the capital to comfort their families."
"Yes," Lin Jin and Lin Yin bowed in response.
Qian Qian looked at the two people who were covered in mud and said, "Let others handle the funeral affairs of the four of them. You two can go to the main hall of the government office with me and talk about what happened."
"Yes."
Dahua sighed softly, "I'll stay here and clean up the mess."
"Thank you, Sister Hua."
Qianqian's voice was muffled, and Dahua rubbed her head out of pity.
Yun Shu looked up at Qian Qian and said softly, "Can I stay here and help too?"
"can."
Yun Shu breathed a sigh of relief when Qian Qian agreed.
Just now she saw the look in the eyes of the leading bad guy when he looked at Qian Qian, and that look made her teeth itch with hatred.
She has plenty of ways to make that evil person's life a living hell.
Such beasts should be tortured.
Qian Qian brought Lin Jin and Lin Yin to the main hall of the government office. Her secret guards had already taken control of the entire Xucheng government office.
The three of them sat on chairs in the main hall. Qian Qian sighed and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Lin Jin was still terrified. "After arriving in Xucheng, we negotiated with the government office many times and they allowed us to see the three incorrupt corpses in advance..."
While Lin Jin was explaining the story in detail, the system was also busy.
[When Lin Jin and Lin Yin sneaked into the woodshed, one of the female corpses suddenly came back to life.]
[The woman manipulated the soil to bury Lin Jin and the other two bodies underground.]
[She herself escaped and is now hiding in the Xucheng military camp.]
Qian Qian looked at Lin Yin, who hesitated, "We met that woman's eyes, and before we could react, our feet dropped."
"Then he was rescued by the princess."
"Ah," Qian Qian sighed, "I see, you guys go out and have a rest."
"Then, help Sister Hua deal with Xu Cheng's affairs."
"Yes."
Lin Jin and Lin Yin retreated, and Qian Qian searched in the space for compensation to give them.
[Tongzi, the woman who survived hid in the military camp, and then what? ]
The system sneered, [It seems that she dealt with Jin Zi, Yin Zi and the others as soon as she woke up, and now she is exhausted. ]
[She was hiding under the bed of a junior general in the military camp.]
[Princess,] the system paused, [The situation here in Xucheng is a little complicated.]
【oh? 】
Qian Qian hooked her lips, [How complicated? ]
[There are three thousand-year-old families in Xucheng, the Cai family, the Xu family, and the Zhou family. ]
[These three families controlled the entire Xucheng, and even most of Jiangnan's commerce, military camps, land, etc.]
[Princess, do you still remember Jinglong? ]
[Why don’t you remember? Is he in Xucheng? ]
[Yes,] the system solemnly said, [he bought a piece of land in Xucheng.]
[This year, we are researching high-yield rice in Xucheng.] The system is a little angry. [Then we have researched high-yield rice.]
[But the Cai, Xu, and Zhou families arranged spies around him to spread the news.]
[For their own benefit, these three families imprisoned Jinglong and forced him to reveal the rice planting method. ]
[They also asked someone to imitate Jinglong's notes and write a letter to Chu Xinghe who had returned to the capital.]
Qian Qian rubbed his head, [Wait, Chu Xinghe is back in Beijing again? ]
[Well,] the system was helpless, [that was to allow the children to enter the Imperial College in the capital.]
[Chu Xinghe originally wanted to arrange things for the children and then go back to Xucheng to find Jinglong.]
[But she received a letter from Jinglong in the capital, saying that he had encountered problems in his research and asked her not to disturb him.]
[Chu Xinghe's reply was intercepted by the three great families of Xucheng, but Chu Xinghe also noticed something was wrong these days.]
[I am borrowing people from Shen Zhongyue and the others, and I plan to go to Xucheng in person. 】
[This courage,] money and indifference, [is really great. ]
The system was also disdainful, [Not only that, these three have already infiltrated the Xucheng military camp. ]
[Thirty percent of the Xucheng defenders are private soldiers from these three families.] The system snorted, [Otherwise, how could Cai Qi be so arrogant in Xucheng?]
【Hmph,】 Qian Qian snorted coldly, 【Xu Cheng, very good.】
A whistle sounded and the secret guard came forward.
Qian Qian told the secret guard where Jing Long was being held, "Go, rescue Mr. Jing Long and the others safely."
"Yes."
After the secret guard left, Lin Jin, who had changed his clothes, brought three people to Qian Qian.
"Your Highness," she looked at the woman in her thirties sitting in a wheelchair, "this is Shen Qiniang."
Shen Qinnan sat in a wheelchair and bowed her head to greet Qian Qian, who raised her hand to waive her greeting.
Lin Jin introduced another middle-aged man with ordinary looks, "This is An Zheng, the head of the relief institute, Master An."
"This," Lin Jin looked at the old woman in her sixties with a head full of white hair and a weathered face, "is A Qingpo, the head of Xucheng Elderly Care Hall."
Qian Qian nodded to the three of them, "Please all sit down. Jinzi will serve the tea."
"Yes."
After Lin Jin left, Qian Qian told him everything about Xu Cheng.
"The Cai family, Xu family, and Zhou family of Xucheng have taken control of the soldiers and military camps guarding the city of Xucheng. I intend to clear them out."
Ignoring the shocked looks of the three people, she continued, "Also here in the government office, Cai Qi and others are disrespectful to me, I will not allow him to continue living."
Looking at Shen Sanniang, "He once humiliated you just to make you die."
"But not only did you not die, you survived despite the malice of the people of Xucheng."
"This lady," Qian Qian said with admiration, "I want you, Shen Sanniang, to bring a new look to Xucheng."
"You," she said with deep eyes, "can you do it?"
"It can be done."
Shen Sanniang's throat was hoarse, which was caused by the torture Cai Qi gave her.
Qian Qian sighed inwardly and looked at An Zheng and A Qing Po, "You two should assist Shen Sanniang with all your strength."
"Yes."
Anzheng and Aqingpo responded respectfully.
Shen Sanniang's eyes were filled with tears. Qian Qian stood up and handed two red fruits to each of the three people.
"I will assign some people to be with you. If you need anything else, just let me know."
Shen Sanniang said in a hoarse voice, "Princess, there are private soldiers raised by the three great families in the deep mountains of Xucheng."
"Those private soldiers are posing as bandits and lurking in the mountains. There are nearly 10,000 of them. Even if we clear out the Xucheng military camp, I'm afraid..."
【Tongzi? 】
The system immediately said, [Ahem, yes, yes, I haven’t had time to say it yet. ]
[The Cai, Xu, and Zhou families intend to threaten the lives of the people in Jiangnan in order to obtain Jinglong's high-yield rice seeds.]
Qian Qian let out a breath and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.
Suddenly, "Princess, Princess, many people have gathered outside the door, saying they want to seek justice for Lord Cai and ask us to release him..."
