Mad wife married: Lord, don't be arrogant!

Chapter 153 Unknowingly, Yun Qing speaks out
After hearing this, Shu Yunqing couldn't help being stunned.

It had been three months since the last time she and Lu Jiashu sent official salt to the capital, and before they knew it, it was time to deliver official salt once a season.

And she had known for a long time that a large batch of official salt would be sent to the capital a few years ago, but she did not expect that she had already left, and was even robbed!

"Grandmother, what's going on..." Shu Yunqing basically knew the Lu family's business well, but she didn't know anything about the official salt delivery this time, so she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

"Good boy, don't think too much." Mrs. Lu hurriedly appeased Shu Yunqing: "It's up to me to not let your father-in-law tell you. This time the salt is the heaviest one in a year. Your father-in-law originally planned to kiss you." However, the last time the injury was not healed, it was not possible to make the trip."

"He sent his cronies to accompany him, and expanded the team for transporting official salt to more than 40 people, but he didn't expect the bandits to be too cruel..."

Hearing this, Shu Yunqing couldn't help feeling desolate in his heart: "Then... where's the salt?"

If this batch of salt cannot be sent to Kyoto safely, it should be brought back properly.Otherwise, letting the emperor know about it would be a serious crime!

"All of them were taken away by thugs!" Mrs. Lu sighed, "Our Lu family may not have a good year."

After hearing this, Shu Yunqing knew that at this time he couldn't make things difficult for the old man, so he took the initiative to stay to appease the old lady.After Mrs. Lu finally fell asleep, Shu Yunqing went out and found the temporary residence of the guard who came back to report.

"Young Madam!" The guard's wounds had already been treated by the government doctor, and he also changed his armor at this time.Seeing Shu Yunqing, he stood up and was about to salute, but was held down by Shu Yunqing.

"Why did you report this kind of news to the old lady! Shouldn't this news be sent to me first!" Shu Yunqing asked immediately after sitting down: "Grandma is not in good health, are you trying to scare her to death with this news? !"

"Young Madam, check it out!" The guard immediately knelt down when he heard what Shu Yunqing said: "This subordinate first reported to the master, and then planned to go to the young master's yard to inform the young madam. When we arrived at the old lady, the old lady took the subordinate away without saying a word."

"The subordinate originally didn't want to tell the old lady about the matter, but the old lady is really smart. She didn't ask or say anything. She just greeted the subordinate to eat and drink. The subordinate wanted to leave, but the old lady refused to let the subordinate eat and drink. just leave."

"The subordinates dare not disobey the old lady, and can only obey the old lady's orders. But after the meal, the old lady asked the subordinates to talk about the family, and for some reason, the old lady brought the topic to this salt transportation. The subordinate didn't pay attention for a while, so the old lady saw the flaw."

"The old lady pressed her subordinates step by step, and finally the subordinate really had no choice, so she told the old lady the truth, and asked the young lady to punish her!"

After hearing this, Shu Yunqing sighed.

How could she not know how smart Mrs. Lu is, and it is almost impossible to hide the news under her nose.

Therefore, she can also understand why the guards obviously didn't want the old lady to know that the official salt was robbed, but in the end they still revealed the truth.

"What's your father-in-law's plan?" Shu Yunqing knew that it was not the time to pursue responsibility, so he should immediately take remedial measures. The official salt this time was the last batch of official salt before the year, and it was also the best official salt in a year. It should be It was issued to the courtiers in the palace.

But now that all the official salts have been robbed, she doesn't even dare to think about how the emperor will punish the Lu family if he finds out about this!

"Master intends to go to Beijing in person to plead guilty to His Majesty!" The guard said, his voice a little hoarse: "Master has done so many years for the royal family, His Majesty will take care of his hard work and reduce some punishments. It's just that in the future, the Lu Family Emperor The merchant may not exist anymore!"

After hearing this, Shu Yunqing felt chills from head to toe.

What the guard said is correct, if the responsibility is really pursued, the title of Lu Family Royal Merchant will definitely be deprived.Without the protection of the status of an imperial merchant, the unsecured businesses in the hands of the Lu family will definitely arouse the greed of all the nobles and dignitaries in Yangzhou.

At that time, the Lu family will be nothing more than fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered!

Thinking of this, Shu Yunqing got up immediately: "No, you can't let father-in-law go to Beijing! Otherwise, the Lu family will be ruined!"

Hearing this, the guard's eyes lit up immediately: "Young madam, this subordinate also thinks so, but this subordinate has persuaded the master, and the master won't listen to his subordinates, maybe if the young lady comes forward, the master will listen to a few words." not necessarily!"

"Why do you think so?" Shu Yunqing immediately became vigilant.

"Because the master attaches great importance to the young lady, so the subordinates dare to guess!" The guard seemed not aware of Shu Yunqing's vigilance, and still flattered Shu Yunqing: "What's more, the young lady is unparalleled in wisdom, and the identity of the county owner of Yunlai is in my heart." , the master has to give some thin noodles more or less."

Hearing this, Shu Yunqing always felt a little weird, but he didn't think about it, and didn't ask too much, he just accepted the flattery of the guard and asked him to take care of himself, and if there was anything he needed, he would speak to his servants, and then hurriedly Busily went to Lu Cheng's yard.

When he saw Lu Cheng, he had already changed into coarse clothes, and was discussing with a few of his confidants about going to Beijing.

Shu Yunqing immediately objected.

"Father, forgive Yunqing for speaking bluntly," Shu Yunqing stood in front of Lu Cheng with a firm expression, and said, "Nowadays, it is snowing heavily in Yangzhou, and the waterway is no longer accessible. Then father-in-law must follow the official route. But our salt team also follows the official route. But he was robbed by the gangsters, which means that the gangsters have planted eyes on the official road long ago."

"Although father-in-law, you have changed your attire, there must be people among them who know father-in-law. At that time, father-in-law may never return!"

After hearing Shu Yunqing's words, Lu Cheng sighed.He didn't know the danger, but now he has no way to save the Lu family except to go to Beijing to plead guilty!

After all, this is the most important batch of official salt in the whole year!

"Yunqing, father-in-law also knows that this trip is very dangerous. But if father-in-law doesn't go to the capital to plead guilty, I'm afraid our entire Lu family will suffer the wrath of the emperor, let alone keep you, old man, I may not even be able to protect the Lu family Stay!"

After hearing this, Shu Yunqing became even more anxious: "Because of this, father-in-law can't go to Beijing even more! Even if father-in-law arrived in Beijing without any danger, he still wants to be in the capital by Chen Jing's means. There’s too much room to make use of the topic above, father-in-law, this trip is very risky, don’t do it!”

Seeing Shu Yunqing mentioning Chen Jing, Lu Cheng couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Yunqing, can you tell my father-in-law what kind of grudge is there between you and Chen Jing?"

Hearing this, Shu Yunqing's eyes darkened, as if he didn't want to say it, but after hesitating for a moment, he said: "My father is a university scholar, and there are many followers, many of whom traveled thousands of miles just to become a member of my Shu family." Doorman, "

"And my father is a person who can't bear the dust of the pearl, so anyone who has talent is recommended to be an official. Over time, he has the right to speak against Chen Jing in the court, and this is the disaster that caused his death!"

Shu Yunqing sighed: "It's a pity that after my father was wronged and imprisoned, the disciples also dispersed into birds and beasts. No one dared to offend Chen Jing, who was under one person. If our siblings hadn't left the capital, I'm afraid we would have already been two people. gone."

Speaking of this, Shu Yunqing couldn't help but his eyes brightened: "Father, I have a way to save our Lu family!"
