Under Jin Feng's control, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency seldom disturbed the public, and its reputation among the people has always been very good.
But at this time, Jin Feng's life and death were unknown, and the enemy tried every possible means to prevent them from passing on the news, which made the deputy company commander feel very uneasy. He no longer had so much to worry about.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. As long as the news can be conveyed back to Jinchuan, he is willing to accept the punishment.
Daqiang didn't think too much, nodded and said, "I'll arrange for someone to do it right away. Is there anything else you want to explain?"
"The only thing left is the dock," the deputy company commander continued: "Before he left, Mr. asked us to guard the dock. Regardless of whether Mr. is there or not, we must complete the mission.
From today on, the dock has entered the first level of combat readiness. Everyone must be ready to fight at any time. Our food, clothing, housing and transportation must be separated from those in the dock. Outsiders must not be allowed to interfere. We must also divide our meals into three batches to avoid recurrence.
Poisoning situation.”
Although the cause of Jin Feng's sinking has not yet been investigated, the deputy company commander has already determined in his heart that someone poisoned the ship!
He couldn't find any other more reasonable explanation.
Today's Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is far superior to the navy and pirates in terms of equipment and morale. There are strong and tall fortresses around the dock, and food reserves are sufficient. The deputy company commander is not worried about any external enemies, only worried about someone coming from within.
make trouble.
From that day on, the atmosphere in the entire dock suddenly became solemn.
The escort completely blocked the dock. Many workers were very dissatisfied with this and asked Hong Taoping to go to Daqiang and ask for an explanation.
Little did they know that Hong Taoping was almost under house arrest by the bodyguard at this time.
The two high-rise boats that Jin Feng was traveling on were found by Hong Taoping. Now that Jin Feng was attacked, various signs indicate that poisoning was the most likely cause. Hong Taoping can be said to be the primary suspect.
The escort did not arrest him directly, which was a great honor to him.
Hong Taoping's mood at this time was extremely remorseful and complicated.
Without Jin Feng, he might have been forced to death by his creditors, so he was very grateful to Jin Feng.
Knowing that Jin Feng was in urgent need of boats, he volunteered to find two large boats and came over. He also patted his chest and assured Jin Feng that they were old subordinates of the Hong family and could definitely be trusted.
As a result, Jin Feng was attacked...
After learning the news, Hong Taoping didn't sleep for two days and two nights, feeling guilty and blaming himself.
Daqiang also saw him like this, so he didn't embarrass him too much.
But it restricted his freedom.
Hong Taoping must not leave the dock without Daqiang's permission.
Hong Taoping blamed himself and had no dissatisfaction with Daqiang's decision.
When the workers found him and asked him to find Daqiang, he was hit with a gun. He was scolded severely by Hong Taoping and left in despair.
On the East China Sea side, the powerful forces are waiting for them, but Guan Xiaorou, who is far away in Jinchuan, has no news at all.
Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei were away, and the Ninth Princess went to Xichuan again. At this time, there were only Guan Xiaorou, Tang Dongdong, Xiao'e, and Achun in the Jin family restaurant, which became much deserted.
"Xiaorou, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why do you eat so little?"
Tang Dongdong asked worriedly when he saw Guan Xiaorou put down her chopsticks after eating only half a bowl of gruel.
"I don't know what's going on these days. I always feel uncomfortable."
Guan Xiaorou added a piece of ribs to Bei Qianxun's sister and answered casually.
"It's been so hot lately, and you must be unhappy if you stay in the laboratory and warm yourself by the fire every day!"
Tang Dongdong rolled his eyes at Guan Xiaorou: "I'll ask Runniang to make some clear fire soup later, and you should stop going to the laboratory recently."
Nowadays, Jin Feng has a transcendent status in the court, and the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is growing day by day. No matter in the officialdom or in the world, no one is unscrupulous and makes things difficult for Xihewan. Guan Xiaorou has turned back into the gentle little daughter-in-law.
But she was not idle. Apart from studying in literacy classes every day, she and Wan Niang spent the rest of the time in the laboratory researching perfume and soap formulas.
These tasks often require the use of distillation, so several furnaces in the laboratory never go out.
It is now the dog days of summer, and the laboratory is already stuffy. Coupled with the baking in several stoves, Guan Xiaorou and Wanniang's clothes are almost always wet every time they come out.
"Wan Niang and I have recently researched two new scents, and the results will be available soon. Let's wait until they are finished, otherwise they will go bad." Guan Xiaorou waved her hand and said.
"Then I'll go and massage your head tonight."
Tang Dongdong said helplessly: "You are now the princess. You have status and status, and you are not short of money to spend. If it were others, you would have brought a group of maids to enjoy it. It's better for you, your life is even more tiring than before."
"The boss's stall is getting bigger and bigger. Wuyang can help him steer the business, Xiaobei can also help him manage the chamber of commerce, and you and Xiaoyu are also helping him. I can't hinder the boss, right?" Guan Xiaorou said.
Just as Tang Dongdong was about to speak, Runniang opened the door and walked in.
"Madam, Director Tang, Brother Zheng just sent someone to inform you that Her Royal Highness is back."
"Wuyang is back?" Guan Xiaorou was stunned: "Where are you?"
"The ones who came here to report the news are the brothers from Yeergou. We should be arriving at the entrance of the village soon, right?" Runniang said.
"Let's go and pick him up."
Guan Xiaorou quickly stood up and led Xiao'e and others out of the restaurant.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we happened to see the carriage of the Ninth Princess driving towards us.
The Ninth Princess ignored Concubine Qing's eyes and ordered the driver to stop the carriage, and got out of the carriage with Qin'er's help.
"Wuyang, you are inconvenient, why do you get out of the car?"
When Guan Xiaorou saw Princess Jiu getting out of the car, she quickly ran up to stop her.
At this time, Princess Ninth's belly was very big and she had to hold her waist while walking.
"My sister came to pick me up at the entrance of the village. What do you think of me as a sister sitting in the car?"
The Ninth Princess insisted on getting out of the car and bowed to Guan Xiaorou in a polite manner.
"Our family doesn't have that many rules!"
Guan Xiaorou quickly supported the Ninth Princess: "Your body should be focused on raising a baby, why are you back?"
"Malaria has appeared in Xichuan. My mother-in-law was afraid that I would be infected, so she forced me to come back."
The Ninth Princess said helplessly: "I didn't even see the water flowing from the mouth of the bottle."
"Your Majesty is back too?"
Guan Xiaorou looked at the carriage and realized that Concubine Qing was inside.
"Xiaorou has met your empress!"
Guan Xiaorou quickly bowed to Concubine Qing.
"Get up."
Concubine Qing smiled and raised her hand, looking at Guan Xiaorou with a somewhat surprised look.
The last time she saw Guan Xiaorou, Guan Xiaorou didn't understand anything and needed Tang Xiaobei to guide her before she knew how to salute.
But this time we meet again, Guan Xiaorou is obviously different from last time.
The etiquette is well behaved and there is nothing wrong with it.
Little did she know that after being canonized as a princess by the emperor, Guan Xiaorou specifically asked Luo Lan to find an old nanny in the capital to train her in etiquette. She would have to practice etiquette for half an hour every night after returning from the literacy class.
"Mom, you go back first. I couldn't even stretch my legs and feet while sitting in the car. I want to take a walk with Sister Xiaorou to stretch my legs and feet."
The Ninth Princess waved her hand to the coachman and signaled the coachman to take Concubine Qing back to her residence first. She took Guan Xiaorou's arm and walked towards the courtyard.
