Chapter 584

"Why so long?"

Su Qing sat up straight when she heard Zhang Ye came back, and asked outside the car in a cold voice.

"The villain is afraid of scaring the snake, so everyone around the business company also searched."

Zhang also bowed and clasped his fists to report that he was very cautious, and he had to do a full set of acting, otherwise after searching the trading company, the staff of the trading company went out to inquire, and the surrounding people did not search but only searched the trading company, and they would be alert.

"You did very well."

Su Qing admired Zhang Ye more and more, he was brave, resourceful and witty.

"What was the result of the investigation?"

"There are no Princess Lanting and envoys in the trading company, only registered businessmen."

Su Qing was taken aback by Zhang Ye's words, isn't he there?
"Have you found the post station?"

If he wasn't in the business company, would he live in the official station?
"The villain also checked the posthouses and official posthouses on the street where the trading company is located, but found no trace of them."

Zhang Ye shook his head, Su Qing frowned, could it be that what the man in black said was false?
"Well, you can check for me, has the car of the Japanese envoy entered the city?"

Su Qing ordered Zhang to continue to investigate. If she didn't go to the city, did she go directly to Haicheng?

"Yes."

Zhang also agreed, and turned to work.

This time I waited for another half an hour, until Jiang Swift fell asleep before Zhang Ye came back.

"Your Honor"

"Say."

Su Qing's eyes were piercing, and she didn't seem to be dozing off at all. When she heard Zhang Ye's report, she interrupted him and told him to get down to business.

"Princess Lanting and the envoys did go to the city to rest yesterday, but they left yesterday afternoon."

Zhang also told Su Qing the news he had inquired about, and Su Qing pondered for a moment before speaking:
"This matter must not be told to anyone. Open the city gate and we will leave."

"Yes."

Zhang Ye clasped his fists and agreed, with a feeling of excitement in his heart. It must be a big deal for a big man to check Dongying people. It is an honor for him to help a big man do things.

"Not taking a break?"

Jiang Yuyan was worried about Su Qing's body and asked her in a low voice.

"No rest."

Lan Ting left yesterday afternoon, now it is Yin time, that is to say, they have been gone for several hours, what made them rush to leave without resting for one night?

It must be because of the capable shipbuilder they brought with them. Lan Ting was afraid that the incident would not be able to take him away, so he only took a short rest in Jincheng before leaving.

This is also a side confirmation that what the man in black said is true. Su Qing decided to chase them overnight for fear of wasting time and letting them go.

Zhang Ye watched the carriage leave Jincheng with nostalgic eyes, as if lost.

Although he has never seen the big man in the car, nor said a few words, but he has a strong intuition that the big man in the car must be a heavyweight official of the court.

The guard Xiao Ding was worried all the way, the road conditions were bumpy, and the empress told him to hurry up. If this made the empress feel bad, his own heads would not be enough for the emperor to cut off.

Su Qing asked Xiao Qi to prepare Baotai pills, and only after ensuring the safety of the child did he let the guard Xiao Ding hurry on the way.

She was sitting on a thick cotton pad, even if there were bumps, it would not be damaged, but Zhong Yong and Jiang Swift were worried. Zhong Yong simply sat on the ground. If the master was knocked off the seat, he would use his body Be a meat pad to protect Master.

Jiang Yuyan held Su Qing's arm tightly, protecting her stomach all the time.

Seeing their nervousness, Su Qing smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Master, you are too risky."

Xiaoqi said leisurely in the system, hurry up and make the seat belt, using beef tendon to ensure the safety of the owner.

Everyone in the car here is worried about Su Qing. On the official road, Zhang Jinglin leads the Xiao family army on a starry night. There are no old people from the Xiao family army in Haicheng. go.

Although Zhang Jinglin was sent, Xiao Zeyu was still worried. If he hadn't been entangled in political affairs, he would have gone after Qing'er long ago.

It's good now, Xiao Zeyu can't sleep at night, walking around in the bedroom, worrying about Su Qing and the child in her stomach.

Su Qing arrived in Haicheng one day later. This is a city near the sea. It is not too big and not prosperous. There are only a dozen businesses on the street, only one restaurant and one posthouse. There are many people selling sea fish on both sides of the street. The fishermen can see the west of the city from the east of the city.

The surrounding area is full of low-rise mud houses, all of which are lived by fishermen. There are only a few thousand people in the whole Haicheng City. They have no land and can only survive by the sea.

Su Qing's carriage came to Haicheng, and the city guards came to investigate. Su Qing asked the guards to take out the customs clearance documents, which said that they were cloth merchants.

The city guards shouted that the document was a fake after just one glance. At first, they startled the guards. The document was indeed a fake document made by the empress on the road.

When the guard Xiaoding didn't know what to do, the defender made a silver gesture to him:

"Brothers haven't eaten yet!"

The guard suddenly realized, is this a trick?
Immediately took out a tael of silver and handed it over, and said with a smile: "This is for the villain to honor the officials."

"Too little."

The officers and soldiers took the money and turned it around in their hands, feeling a little too little, and finally met a rich master, who slaughtered as much as he could.

"Officer, we are all small businessmen, tsk, okay, that's all."

The guard Xiaoding made a very embarrassed look, and reluctantly took out another tael of silver, which meant that he would ask us no more.

The officers and soldiers accepted the money as soon as they saw it, and waved their hands to let the guard Xiaoding enter the city.

Although the city by the sea also has an outer city wall, but the city walls are all earthen walls, and the Japanese pirates can't stop them at all.

The fishermen here are robbed several times a month. If the government can’t rely on it, they will spontaneously form a patrol team. When they see the Japanese pirates’ boats, they will beat the gong. All the fishermen will come out to fight against the Japanese pirates. Life is very hard.

After Su Qing's carriage entered the city, it went directly to the post station. There was only one post station in Haicheng, and there was an official post station opened by the government only for government personnel or envoys.

Su Qing and the others used fake identities, so they directly lived in the inn opened by themselves.

The condition of the post station is very poor, the tables, chairs and benches are all mottled and painted, and some are missing arms and legs. There is only one shopkeeper and one clerk in the post station. When a guest comes, the clerk warmly welcomes them out, and the clerk goes to help tie the horse. The shopkeeper asked Su Qing:

"Guest officer, how many are you?"

"Four of you, I want two upper rooms."

Both Su Qing and Jiang Yuyan have changed into men's clothes, and they speak in men's voices. It is impossible to have more than one room in such a small inn, so I only need two. I share one with Jiang Yuyan, and Zhong Yong and Xiao Ding share one room. between.

The shopkeeper apologized and said to Su Qing:
"Excuse me, sir. I haven't got a room yet. They've been taken over by others. Do you think it's okay to use an ordinary room?"

Usually no one lives in the house, but now the supply exceeds the demand, but it is seeing that there is no money to be made.

After hearing this, Su Qing's eyes moved slightly.

Been bagged?Could it be Lanting and the envoys who live here?
