Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 303 Changfeng Escort Agency
When the Chen family got into trouble, the police from Kuandian and the Tong family all suspected kidnapping for ransom, and it was the Changfeng Escort Agency that secretly helped.

If the He family didn't have some roots in Liaoyang, they would have been implicated.

Even so, Chen Yunhan's master was called in for questioning several times.

I was cheated out of a lot of money, both openly and secretly, before I was finally able to get out of this situation.

He Qingzhu and Chen Yunhan are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship.

In the past few years, He Qingzhu has refused marriage proposals from her family, preferring to ruin her own reputation rather than marry. In fact, everyone in the He family understands what is going on.

But there was no way the He family would agree to this marriage.

The fourth daughter of the Changfeng Escort Agency, even if she wanted to remain single for the rest of her life, could not marry a wanted criminal.

In this way, the He family rejected Chen Yunhan's proposal and drove Chen Yunhan out.

At the same time, He Qingzhu was banned from going out to see Chen Yunhan.

He Qingzhu had a hot temper. When her father banned her from traveling, she went on a hunger strike in protest.

After not eating or drinking for seven or eight days, he was starving.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the maid beside He Qingzhu secretly ran to find Chen Yunhan and asked Chen Yunhan to find a solution.

Chen Yunhan was at his wits' end, not knowing what to do, when Qu Shaoyang and Chen Yunzhe came to him.

"Brother, Shaoyang, why are you in Liaoyang?" Chen Yunhan asked in surprise when he saw the two of them.

"Shaoyang came here especially for your marriage. How is it going? Is it not going well here?"

In fact, there is no need to ask. Just look at Chen Yunhan’s head full of lawsuits and you will know that the marriage will definitely not go smoothly.

"Brother, my master would never agree to my marriage with Qingzhu.

He locked Qingzhu in the room and did not allow her to go out. Qingzhu went on a hunger strike in protest and had not eaten for seven or eight days.

Just now, the girl next to Qingzhu secretly came to me and sent me a letter, asking me to find a solution quickly, otherwise Qingzhu might starve to death. "

Chen Yunhan was so anxious that he was spinning around on the ground, but he was at a loss as to what to do.

"Their family said that I was a wanted criminal, and even if the investigation in Kuandian was not strict, I still had a criminal record.

My master said that the girl from the He family would rather be beaten to death than marry a wanted criminal.

"Fuck, this old guy is so cruel that he can even say such words?" Qu Shaoyang couldn't help but swear when he heard it.

I have never heard of a family being so cruel to their daughter, beating her to death and sticking her on the wall? What do they want to do?

"Brother, don't worry about this matter, leave it to me, I will find a way."

Qu Shaoyang was quite curious about the head of the He family, so he wanted to meet this person.

"Shao Yang, what can you do?

Even if you are an inspector, you cannot control Liaoyang. People don't recognize you, so it's useless."

When Chen Yunhan heard this, he was happy at first, but then he shook his head.

Qu Shaoyang is just an inspector of the Yalu River. He does not have that much power and cannot control Liaoyang. The He family will not give Qu Shaoyang face.

Qu Shaoyang smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll give it a try and see if it works."

They had documents issued by the Kuandian County Court, stating that the Chen family's case had been dropped and Chen Yunhan was no longer a wanted criminal.

Not only that, Qu Shaoyang also had the letter of appointment from Xu Qingzhang, the magistrate of Kuandian, to Chen Yunhan.

Today, Chen Yunhan is the commander of the Kuandian militia, assisting the county government in its work. Even though he does not have a formal official position, he is not an ordinary person.

I just don't believe it. What excuse does the He family have to oppose the marriage?
If you still object to this, then you are simply being ungrateful.

Do you really think the two-gun gang is vegetarian? Nowadays, whoever holds the gun has the final say.

Escort agency? No matter how powerful the escort agency is, it only has a few dozen people. How can it fight against the two-gun gang of four or five hundred people? If he really gets angry, he will come up with some dirty tricks and intercept the darts of Changfeng Escort Agency. In less than three months, Changfeng Escort Agency will have to close down.

"Is this possible? I can't even get into the escort agency right now. What can you do?"

Chen Yunhan was stunned. He had no idea what Qu Shaoyang was up to.

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

Qu Shaoyang smiled and said nothing else. He went back to his room and changed into his official uniform.

Afterwards, Qu Shaoyang brought the appointment document from the Dongbiandao Yamen, the document issuing the case withdrawal document from the Kuandian County Yamen, and other things.

He led the two of them out of the inn and headed straight for Changfeng Escort Agency.

"Inform the East Road Wood Tax Office that he wants to discuss something with Mr. He."

Qu Shaoyang came to the door of the escort agency and spoke to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper saw that the man was in his early twenties, wearing the uniform of an eighth-rank official, and had a dignified bearing. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will pass the message inside right away." After saying this, the gatekeeper immediately sent a young apprentice to report the news.

He Lisheng, the chief manager of Changfeng Escort Agency, was upset because of his daughter's hunger strike.

The sons and apprentices in the family all tried to persuade her, saying that no one could just watch their little sister starve to death.

“Dad, if it doesn’t work, just agree to the marriage.

Don't you know what kind of temper our fourth girl has? If you don't follow her wishes, she will really starve herself to death."

The eldest brother of the He family, He Honglin, couldn't bear to see his beloved youngest sister suffer, so he pleaded for her.

"That's right, Master, I think Yunhan seems to be doing pretty well.

Besides, the case in Kuandian happened several years ago, and the Tong family, the victim, had long since fallen.

The government didn't pursue the matter, so why did the master make things difficult for them?" He Lisheng's eldest disciple, Zhao Zhengguo, also tried to persuade them.

Chen Yunhan has been an apprentice in the escort agency for many years and gets along very well with his fellow apprentices. Although they haven't seen each other in recent years, the friendship is still there.

In fact, everyone is optimistic about the couple Chen Yunhan and He Qingzhu, but because of the head manager He Lisheng, they have not dared to express their opinions before.

Now the junior sister is on a hunger strike in protest, refusing to eat or drink, and is starving to the point of looking unrecognizable.

The fellow disciples’ persuasion was futile, so they could only persuade the master.

"No, even if the king of heaven comes today, I will not agree to marry the fourth girl to that bastard Chen Yunhan."

These young people in the family are inexperienced and cannot see Chen Yunhan’s identity. How can He Lisheng not see it?

No matter how well Chen Yunhan hid himself, He Lisheng knew at first sight that this boy was a bandit.

In fact, the Escort Agency and the gangs are not in opposition.

Even many escort agencies cooperated with the gangs, paying them a certain amount of silver every year to ensure the safety of the goods escorted by the escort agencies.

But cooperation is cooperation, it is just for making a living. He Lisheng would never marry his daughter to Hu Zi no matter what.

What if something happens to Chen Yunhan one day, wouldn’t his daughter be a widow?
But He Lisheng couldn't tell this to anyone else.

After all, Chen Yunhan is his apprentice, and they have been master and apprentice for many years.

There are many gossipy people in the escort agency. What if someone lets something slip and lets the government know Chen Yunhan's identity and they send people to arrest him?
Therefore, He Lisheng could only refuse the marriage proposal by using the excuse that Chen Yunhan was a wanted criminal.

Before He Lisheng finished his words, a young boy came running in from outside.

"Master, there is a man in official uniform outside the door. He said he was the general manager and wanted to discuss something with you."
