Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 71

Sun couldn't help crying again, "You child, it's really worrying, mother is almost worried about you these days, and your elder brother, you can't see anyone these days."

Chu Chan asked in surprise, "Where did brother go?"

Mrs. Sun shook her head, "I just said there are some ways to make money. He hasn't been seen for two days after you left. Your second brother is almost worried to death."

Chu Chan was silent. Eldest brother is not a reckless person, so she felt relieved, and said to Sun, "Mother, people haven't asked about Dad these days. Don't let anyone know about Dad's imprisonment." She just felt a little uneasy in her heart. It was originally for the future of the elder brother and the second brother, but now it was for herself. The matter of the jade mine must have been noticed by outsiders. She was afraid that someone would be too smart to find it with the slightest clue She, so the matter of my father cannot be known to outsiders, otherwise, where did the hundred gold for ransom come from?It will always attract the attention of those who are interested, and they will be tracked down to her, so not only the matter of my father cannot be exposed, but also the matter of redeeming my father cannot be rushed.

Mrs. Sun wiped her tears, "Don't worry, although someone asked, I only said that your father went out to earn money after recovering from illness, and no one knew about it." It spread in Yangkou County.

Chu Chan nodded, and Sun said, "Hurry up and take a break, I'll go out and cook something for you."

After eating, Chu Chan washed her body and took off the cotton cloth wrapped around her chest. You can see two small buns swelled. She has been wrapped up to change her body shape these days, and she is still a little comfortable at the moment. I couldn't help rubbing it, and fell asleep after seeing the red marks gradually dissipate.She slept peacefully, but she didn't know that someone in Yecheng was having a headache because of this matter.

After Wei Heng ordered to go down that day, within two days Wei Hao had inquired about the news of the jade merchants in Yecheng, and finally told his elder brother what he learned.

There were only ten teams of jade vendors who left Yecheng in those few days, Wei Heng quickly ruled out the others, pointed at Zhao Qi's name and said, "They should have done it."

Wei Hao said, "How did the eldest brother know?"

Wei Heng got up, crossed to the window and looked at the peach tree with flower buds gradually emerging, "I have sent someone to check the canal outside the city, and found scraps of jade ore on the side of the canal, presumably they came by boat Left. There are a lot of jade mines that have been blown down, and they need to be moved down the mountain and transported to the canal. Only a large amount of jade ore needs to be left by cargo ships, so manpower is indispensable. Only they have enough people, about 40 to [-] people. , the other manpower is not enough.”

Wei Hao said, "Brother, what should we do now? Should we find this person?"

"The information from above shows that Zhao Qi is from the state of Wu. Now that he has made such a large sum of money, he is also a person who values ​​affection. With such a secret, he may not return to the state of Qin." Wei Heng said slowly. , "Zhao Qi has been in Qin for a few years, and he didn't have this kind of thing that can blow up the mine before. Either he met some kind of opportunity, or someone gave him this thing. The latter is more likely."
