Chapter 392 Opportunity
She then asked another question, "I plan to open a winery and a textile factory in Fanzhou City. Are you interested in following me?"

Shen Jia briefly introduced the winery and textile factory to them.

Since she decided to open a winery and a textile factory in the northwest, she must recruit some capable people.

Although Shule is a bit of a tearful person, he knows how to brew wine and can run a small pub on his own. It is obvious that he is not as timid, simple and harmless as he appears.

The other three don’t have this experience, but as long as they are willing to learn, they should not be far behind.

After hearing this, the four of them fell into deep thought.

Lei Zhihua spoke first: "I want to follow you, Master."

Shu Le's face was gloomy: "Sir, I really want to follow you, but I have old parents and young children to take care of, and I might be a burden to you."

Shen Jia waved his hand and said with a smile: "I will send someone else over, you just need to assist by the side."

Shu Le's eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I won't let you down."

Shen Jia nodded with a smile.

Lu Daqiang rubbed his hands together, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, and said in a whisper: "I really want to go, but I don't know many words, so I'm afraid I can't do the job."

"I have the same concerns." Tao Jing said.

Shen Jia frowned slightly and asked, "There are literacy classes in the northwest, right?"

The four of them nodded, "It's open."

"It will take at least three months for the factory manager to arrive in Fanzhou. During these months, you can spend more time on reading, learning to read and learn arithmetic. When they arrive, you can study and work at the same time. By the end of next year when the factory opens, you should have learned enough. What do you think?"

"Since you are willing to give us a chance, we will definitely seize it and will never let you down." Lu Daqiang and Tao Jing said in unison.

Shen Jia nodded with satisfaction.

She looked up and saw Xiao Yichen striding in. "Did you find out anything?"

Xiao Yichen sat down on the stool beside her. "The Governor of the Northwest was secretly a man of the Duke of Zhenguo. He has always been cautious in doing things. After the Duke of Zhenguo died, he did a great job in the tasks I entrusted to him. Otherwise, I would not have suspected him..."

"What are you going to do with him?"

"Of course he was dismissed from his post and investigated. Not to mention that he used to be a subordinate of the Duke of Zhenguo, let's just talk about the trouble his daughter caused this time. If he says he knows nothing about it, I won't believe it. Since he can indulge his daughter to disregard ethics and corrupt morals, he must bear the consequences."

"Yes! You are right. Yan Luorou framed others for a man and must be severely punished. Oh, by the way, I have good news for you."

"What good news makes you so serious?"

Shen Jia coughed lightly, "Lei Zhihua said there are two bare mountains ten miles away from his home. I suspect they are extinct volcanoes. The mixture of lime and extinct volcanic ash is used to bond gravel concrete. After hardening, it is not only extremely strong, but also can resist the impact of fresh water or salt water. It is an exceptionally good building material..."

"If those two mountains are really extinct volcanoes, wouldn't the official roads of the Great Zhou be built smoother?"

Shen Jia raised his chin slightly: "Of course, I'll let you learn more in a few days."

Xiao Yichen raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Okay! I'll wait and see."

The two of them talked as if no one was around, not minding being overheard by others.

Half an hour later, the Northwest Governor and the Provincial Governor were about to arrive. Xiao Yichen glanced at Shu Le and the other four and the maids and servants in the house, pointed at the guards, secret guards, and Yan Luorou and said, "Find some ropes and tie them up in the front yard."

The maids and servants had already guessed their identities, and were afraid that they would be implicated by Miss Yan and sold out again. Now when they heard Xiao Yichen shouting at them to kidnap someone, they hurriedly ran to find a rope, fearing that they would be disliked by him if they were late.

The maidservants quickly found a few ropes and followed them, along with the men from the second courtyard.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen glanced at them indifferently and ignored them.

Shu Le and several other men worked together with a few servants to tie up the guards and secret guards on the ground. They were naturally unwilling to be tied up obediently, and they struggled and cursed: "I am a guard of the Governor's Mansion. You humiliate me like this, I will not let you go..."

The guards stared at them with red eyes, their teeth itching with hatred. In the past, these servants were always respectful and servile to them, but today, they were all seriously injured and offended the noble, and they started to add insult to injury!
The servants were also very clever. Seeing that they were desperate, they immediately took off his shoes, stuffed his smelly socks into his mouth, and said angrily: "You are so annoying that you are nagging and dirtying the ears of the two gentlemen. I will block your mouth and see what else you can say."

After tying them up, they were dragged outside in groups of two, not caring at all about their murderous looks.

The maids showed no mercy and tied up Yan Luorou without hesitation. Her personal maid wanted to fight with them, but she was outnumbered and had her hair pulled into a mess by the other maids, and even her face was cut several times.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen watched this farce coldly. Only after they all went to the front yard did he walk over leisurely.

They sat at the top seats with elegant postures, and maids served them tea with great tact.

Shen Jia took the teacup, gently lifted the lid to observe the floating and sinking of the tea leaves, then put the cup to his lips and took a sip.

After a while, she said to the anxious maids and servants, "You don't have to be nervous. As long as you don't help the evil, I won't make things difficult for you."

Shen Jia's voice was soft and pleasant, and it brought tears to the eyes of the maids and servants present. With a bang, they all knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir."

Shen Jia raised his hand and asked them to get up.

On the other side, several secret guards split into two groups, one heading to the Provincial Administration Office and the other heading to the Governor's Office.

Northwest Provincial Administration
Fan Shiqing was handling official business when suddenly a shadow blocked out the light. He looked up and saw two men in black clothes and black masks appear in front of him.

Even though he was a seasoned official, he was still startled by the sudden appearance of the secret guards. Then he thought that if they wanted his life, they would have killed him with a sword long ago. He took a deep breath to calm himself and said sternly, "Who are you?"

One of the secret guards took out a token from his bosom and said, "The Princess Protector of the Country has ordered that Lord Fan and his men should follow me to Lane 3 of West Street immediately."

Fan Shiqing picked up the token and looked at it carefully, and found that it was real.

Aren't the Princess Protector of the Country and the Crown Prince in the Northern Frontier? When did they come to the Northwest? The Princess Protector of the Country is here, so is the Crown Prince here too?

He quickly recalled in his mind whether he had done anything against the law, and only after making sure that he hadn't done so did he feel relieved.

West Street Lane 3? This place name sounds familiar! Oh, right? Someone told him privately a few days ago that Yan Jun's eldest daughter bought a house there to keep a lover. Could it be that Miss Yan was blinded by lust and fell into the trap of His Highness and the Princess?

"Oh my!" If that's the case, there will be something interesting to watch.

It is human nature to like to eat melons. As long as it is not one's own melon, most people like to watch it, just to add some fun to their dull life.

Fan Shiqing was in a state of confusion, but he didn't show it on his face.

He straightened his official uniform and stood up, cautiously testing the waters: "Did the princess tell me how many people to bring with you?"

The secret guard glanced at him and said sparingly: "It's up to you."
