Chapter 798 One hundred and ninety-seven · Rushing
It was completely quiet in Juhai Manor. Everyone was a little cautious and panicked. Even the flower girls in the building did not dare to laugh and curse freely anymore. Aunt Bai clenched the cup in her hand in horror and heard the sound coming from outside. There was a muffled squeaking sound, and he jumped up in surprise.
Lai's mother saw her like this when she walked in. She couldn't help but shook her head: "Are you so scared? I see that you have lost at least ten kilograms in more than a month, and your clothes all look empty."
Seeing that it was Lai's mother, Aunt Bai let go of her worries. She looked at the candlelight in front of her with a blue and white face, and shuddered hard: "What you said is easy, can I not worry?" ?Who is that? That is Chen Hai’s daughter! It’s not like you didn’t know how those people worshiped her like a Bodhisattva when we were at Xu’s house. It’s because I was blind and didn’t even recognize this little girl. The ancestors are here, who would have thought that this little ancestor would be brought here by our own family?! I really didn’t recognize him.”
Seeing that she was really frightened, Lai's mother felt a little unbearable and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry too much. Isn't everything fine now? This matter can be fooled and it's none of our business. Judging from Qi Ye's approach, he clearly wanted to distance himself from this matter and did not want people to know what happened to him here. In this case, it is naturally even more impossible to use you to make a raft, otherwise he would not be the same Can’t we get rid of the relationship?”
The two have been working together since they entered the house, and they have been together for decades now. Their relationship has long been no different from that of biological sisters. Lai's mother also sincerely comforted her, fearing that she would think too much.
But Aunt Bai couldn't really think as openly as she said. She smiled bitterly and felt a little sorry for herself: "How can it be so simple? It's not just a kitten or puppy that was lost. That Shen Yaoniang was in the Xu family back then. She was like a princess at that time, and no one could disobey her. Even Mr. Xu responded to her requests, and the sisters in the family gave in to her. Don’t we still know why this is so? Everyone has said it. , She is the youngest in the family. Why didn't Shen Hai take her out to sea? It was because he wanted her to be an official lady and not have to wander on the sea. Shen Hai valued this daughter so much that everyone looked at her like a ball. Now that something happened to the eyeball, how could Shen Hai not pursue it?"
Once Shen Hai investigates, the Xu family and even the southeast area are in a state of panic.
When the city gate catches fire and Chi Yu is affected, she may be in trouble soon.
Lai's mother didn't know what to say, so she just sighed deeply.
Aunt Bai became even more pessimistic and sad, her heart sank to the bottom, and she couldn't help crying: "I'm so unlucky, how could something like this happen to me?"
While I was crying, there was a knock on the door outside.
Aunt Bai's crying stopped suddenly. Mother Lai glanced at her and quickly walked to the door and opened it. After a while, Mother Lai closed the door and turned to look at Aunt Bai solemnly. She pursed her lips and said: "Master Qi left, saying he was going to Quanzhou."
So good, why go to Quanzhou?
Aunt Bai stopped crying and looked at Lai's mother nervously: "Going to Quanzhou at this time?"
Lai's mother was also full of doubts, but when she saw Aunt Bai's look like this, she sighed softly: "That's it, Master Qi is so shocked that you are completely shocked. He is gone. No matter what, you can no longer be afraid. Don’t worry about anything, just relax and rest for a few days.”
Otherwise, I would really be dying of it.
Aunt Bai's forehead was stinging, and she always felt that things were not that simple, but now she had no choice but to smile bitterly and nod.
Bai Qiye burst into tears in a rare emergency. It almost hurt to drink water. He didn't have time to think about Aunt Bai's problem now. The batch of goods in Quanzhou was crucial to them. If something happened now, what would happen?
Bian must have gone crazy with anxiety.
When he hurried to Quanzhou, it was already seven days later. After receiving the news, the people who had been waiting to pick him up at the pier hurriedly greeted him and asked him to go to a separate courtyard to rest first.
However, Bai Qiye had no thoughts at all and immediately raised his hand to interrupt him: "Stop talking nonsense, what is going on? Tell me clearly how many things were burned."
The people below also knew his temper and did not dare to say anything more. They led Bai Qiye to the boat.
Seeing those burned ships, Bai Qiye's eyes were gloomy, and his heart was filled with overwhelming anger.
The cost of these ships and goods is more than one million taels of silver. If you sell them, you can get at least three times or even more profits.
But now, all these efforts have been in vain.
He clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to get angry, and turned around coldly and asked the ship's boss, who was already kneeling on the ground: "What did you do? Don't you know how deadly these things are? How could this happen?
Leak the news?!"
Where these ships are parked, what they contain, and how many people are guarding them are all secrets.
If someone hadn't leaked the secret, no matter how powerful the Japanese were, they would not have been able to evade the guards and burn so many ships silently, and they also burned these useful cargos accurately.
The boss of the ship was already so frightened that he wanted to pee his pants. When he heard Master Bai Qi ask, he started to cry profusely with sweat: "Master Qi, no one of us has really leaked the news. If you can contact people who go to sea, your life depends on it."
These things? How dare we?! Let’s talk about it again.”
He bravely raised his head and looked at Master Bai Qi: "Besides, Master Qi, it's not just our people who know these secrets. If there is no problem with our people, will they be?"
What he meant was already very obvious.
It's not a problem with the company, it's a problem with the people responsible for escorting them at sea. In the past, when these goods wanted to go to sea, they had to greet the pirates at sea. With their help, these ships can go smoothly.
The place to go.
If they leaked the news, it would explain why it was the Japanese who came to burn the ships.
Those pirates already had a lot of Japanese people.
Bai Qiye immediately looked at the ship boss with lightning eyes: "You mean, Chen Hai sent someone to do it?"
He was in a very bad mood. He had thought about it countless times before coming here. It had to be said that the ship boss's guess was also his guess.
But if it was really Shen Hai who did it, then things would be really bad - how could Shen Hai cut off his own money for no reason? Unless Shen Hai already knew about Shen Yaoniang, he was declaring war on the southeast.
We completely broke up with Southeast.
If this is the case, then things will be completely troublesome.
He closed his eyes: "What did the government say?"
