The next day, Su Cheng took Shen Youwei and some people from the Su family to meet Qin Ming and others at the gate of the city.
Of course, these were not the only people who went to Linjiang City with Su Cheng this time. Liu Changfeng, Yang Lingxuan, He Baotou, Niu Chong, Tian Dazhuang, Shen Xiangxing, Shen Xingyu and others were all going.
This is Su Cheng's condition. He must take these talents with him to Linjiang City, otherwise he will not go.
The reason is simple, he doesn't trust the people in Linjiang City, he only trusts his own people.
What's more, this time he went to investigate the case of a flower-picking thief, and he needed some help. These people were all his right-hand men and had been able to help him in the past.
Qin Ming didn't say much about this matter, and agreed to let He Baotou and the other four people come to serve as inspectors. Liu Changfeng was still serving as the captain of thousands of people in Linjiang City, and Yang Lingxuan was working as a co-worker in the city. The kind that gets a salary.
The group of people headed straight for Linjiang City, but Qin Ming felt that it was too slow to lead the Shen family, so he suggested that they go to Linjiang City quickly first, and the Shen family could catch up behind them.
Su Cheng understood Qin Ming's worries and the dangers of the flower-picking thieves. Dangjie agreed to the matter. After leaving the city, the group of them quickly rode towards Linjiang City.
Along the way, everyone ate and slept in the open, just to get to Linjiang City as soon as possible!
A few days later, everyone finally arrived outside Linjiang City, and the outline of a huge city appeared in front of Su Cheng's eyes.
As soon as he approached Linjiang City, Su Cheng could feel the prosperity of the city. People were everywhere outside the city, and there was a group of soldiers standing guard under the tall city wall.
"Master Marquis, Linjiang City is just ahead. After entering, I will take you to the house arranged by the governor. You will have a day of rest today and go to Zhentai tomorrow to sort out the case."
Qin Ming looked at Su Cheng next to him with a solemn expression.
Su Cheng nodded slightly: "Since the governor has arranged a courtyard for me, I will naturally live there, but I won't ask for this house in vain. I will send someone to deliver it to the governor."
No reward for no merit, even if he is now the Marquis of Wu'an, he cannot just take other people's things.
Qin Ming was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, let's not force the Marquis. Let's go and settle down in the city first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the city gate. Their speed was so fast that the people around them got out of the way in fear.
After leaving the city, this group of cavalry came straight towards Su Cheng and others.
Qin Ming's face darkened: "This is the Jianghou family's cavalry!"
"Jiang Hou?" Su Cheng was a little confused, but he didn't expect that there was a Marquis in Linjiang City.
Qin Ming looked at the charging cavalry with a terrifyingly gloomy face: "Yes, we also have a marquis in Linjiang City, and there is more than one!"
"Jianghou Wu Pengju is the commander-in-chief of Jiang Province after his great achievements in founding the country. He has the privilege of opening a mansion and the right to recruit soldiers. These cavalry are from their mansion."
"And Jianghou's son Liuhou Wu Wencheng, thanks to His Majesty's grace, also became a Marquis last year, two marquises in one family. Your Majesty really loves Jianghou's family. In a few years, if Jianghou becomes If I can go to Kyoto, I might become a Duke."
The last sentence was a reminder, telling Su Cheng that it would be best not to have any trouble with Jiang Hou.
After all, both parties are princes, and the governor and the inspector cannot help anyone openly. Moreover, now that the emperor favors the Wu family, Wu Pengju still hopes to become the Duke of the country. This is not an ordinary figure. Zhang Yuanzheng and Qin Ming I can't afford to offend either.
After hearing this, Su Cheng couldn't help but nodded slightly, remembering the Wu family.
But then, Su Cheng suddenly looked up at the charging cavalry and narrowed his eyes: "They seem to be coming towards us!"
Shen Youwei's expression changed from behind, she unsheathed her sword and stood in front of Su Cheng.
"Huh, why are they coming at us for no reason!" Shen Youwei looked unhappy.
At this moment, the cavalry suddenly stopped not far from Su Cheng and others. The horses separated on both sides, and a young man in white robes rushed out on horseback.
This man was about the same age as Su Cheng. His face was pale and he looked a little vain. His eyes actually had two dark circles at the moment, which looked quite funny.
This young man in white robe looks okay, but he has a very unpleasant temperament, and when riding a horse, he feels like his eyes are higher than his head.
However, this man's eyes lit up when he saw Su Cheng beside Qin Ming, and he immediately dismounted and rushed over.
"Master Qin, is this Marquis Wu'an?" the young man in white robe asked Qin Ming.
Qin Ming dismounted his horse and saluted the man: "Master Hou, these are indeed the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife."
Su Cheng also dismounted at this moment. When he heard Qin Ming calling this person Marquis, he couldn't help but squint his eyes. The identity of this person was immediately revealed. He was Wu Wencheng, the son of Marquis Jiang, Liu Hou!
But what is this person doing here looking for me?
"Oh, it turns out you are the Marquis Wu An who solved the case in Meihua County. My name is Wu Wencheng, and I am here specifically to pick you up and take you to my home!"
Wu Wencheng's eyes lit up and he came to Su Cheng's side and bowed his hands.
This attitude made Su Cheng and others a little stunned.
Neither of them knew each other, so they invited them to live in the mansion as soon as they met. This is too weird!
Shen Youwei still looked on guard and was about to refuse, but Su Cheng suddenly said: "Marquis Liu, you and I don't know each other. I just arrived in Linjiang City and you went out to invite me. I am very surprised."
"In addition, the governor has prepared a house for me, and I have agreed to live there."
You must refuse, but you must not hurt the other party's face. It is just right to use Zhang Yuanzheng as a shield.
"The governor gave you a house as a gift to the Marquis?"
Wu Wencheng was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled: "Master Zhang is so quick to strike."
After a pause, Wu Wencheng continued: "To be honest, I invited the Marquis to live in the mansion for the sake of my Wu family!"
"Oh? Where do you start talking about this?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.
Wu Wencheng glanced at the people around him, and then he actually took Su Cheng's hand aside and whispered: "That flower-picking thief is so powerful, I want to ask the Marquis to guard the house!"
Town house???
Su Cheng's face is full of black question marks!
What is going on, that you have become the person who controls the house?
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Su Cheng said coldly: "If the Marquis doesn't tell the truth, I will go to the city!"
"Don't... don't!"
Wu Wencheng held Su Cheng's hand with a begging look on his face: "To be honest, my fiancée, who has not yet married, is actually in the house. I'm worried that the flower-picking thief will attack her!"
"If Mr. Hou were in my house, with his ability, even the flower-picking thief wouldn't dare to go to my Wu house, no matter how brave he is."
The original purpose was to protect his unmarried wife!
This reason is quite reasonable.
People in this era got engaged very early. Some wealthy families would take a woman into their own home to raise her after the engagement. On the one hand, it was to cultivate feelings, and on the other hand, it was to protect the woman's innocence. After all, only a woman in their own home could make them feel at ease. .
It's just that Su Cheng is a little strange. Considering the strength of the team of knights in front of the Wu family, does the flower-picking thief really dare to attack the Wu family?
