Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 550, the whereabouts of gold (two more)
Zhao Qingyun lives in a large courtyard two streets away from the Overseer's Mansion. Today was supposed to be a working day, but Zhao Qingyun didn't go to work. Instead, he was locked in his room, rummaging through boxes and packing things.
On the table behind him, there are boxes of various jewels scattered in a mess, as well as two boxes of gold bars neatly arranged, as well as some foreign bank drafts and cash. Zhao Qingyun frowned at this time, holding two long boxes in his arms, and kept flipping his hands in the cabinet.
"Bang bang." There were two knocks on the door, Zhao Qingyun was startled and shook his hand, and the box in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He said angrily, "Who! It's all said, I have something to do, no one will be seen!"
The person outside the door didn't answer, just knocked twice more.
Zhao Qingyun was a little angry at the moment. He walked to the table with the box in his hand and put it down, and said angrily, "Who is it!"
The door was gently pushed open from the outside, Zhao Qingyun was startled and suddenly reacted, after he entered the house, did he plug the door from the inside? How did this door open? !
Before he could figure it out, the door was completely pushed open, and there were two people standing at the door.
Two women, one in her early thirties and one in her early twenties. The only thing that is the same is that these two women are very beautiful. Even if he is considered a person of status in the southwest, it is rare to see such a beautiful woman.
"You... Who are you? How did you get in?" Because they were two women, Zhao Qingyun relaxed a little bit and just frowned at the two of them.
The two women who suddenly visited Zhao's house were none other than Leng Sa and Shang Feiyun.
Leng Sa glanced at the table behind Zhao Qingyun and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, are you planning to run away?"
Zhao Qingyun's face changed slightly, and he moved his body without a trace to block the sight of the two. Leng Sa and Shang Feiyun looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Qingyun obviously found that his behavior was very ridiculous, and he stopped covering it at the moment. He looked at the two of them confidently and said angrily, "Who are you? Shouldn't you be a guest of the Zhao family? You dare to break in here, don't you want to? Are you alive?"
Leng Sa is a little apologetic, "I'm not invited, please forgive me Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Qingyun asked, "Who are you?"
Leng Sa said warmly, "My surname is Leng, Leng Sa." Seeing that Zhao Qingyun didn't seem to have any response, he figured it was probably because he was not famous, so he added, "My husband's family name is Fu."
"What?! You!" Zhao Qingyun's face changed suddenly, but the next moment he shut his mouth decisively, because he saw Leng Sa was playing with a small pistol in his hand, and the muzzle was facing him.
He had heard of how powerful this young lady of the Fu family was. Although he was a big man, he didn't dare to say that he could beat the one in front of him.
Leng Sa smiled and said, "I just like people who are knowledgeable and interesting. Don't be afraid, Mr. Zhao, I don't like killing people."
Zhao Qingyun did not answer with a stiff face. Leng Sa and Shang Feiyun had already stepped into the room and closed the door. Seeing this, Zhao Qingyun could only cry inwardly. As soon as the door was closed, unless he made some noise, he would make the heavens and the earth not work. But if something really happened, he wouldn't dare to bet whether Leng Sa would kill him and then escape.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Qingyun could only laugh along, "Mrs. Fu Shao, I don't know what you mean?"
Leng Sa walked to the table, the gun in his hand slid lightly over the pile of jewelry gold bars on the table, and asked bluntly, "Where did Sun Liang get those gold bars?"
Zhao Qingyun's eyelids jumped and he said quickly, "I...I don't know."
Leng Sa looked at him with some surprise, "I don't know? You have been trying to cover up for him for two months, and now you say you don't know? Go back... How do you explain it?" Before Zhao Qingyun could answer, Leng Sa nodded again. The first look suddenly realized, "Oh, you're going to run away, it seems that you don't intend to explain it. Let me see... um, a bill of exchange for 100,000 yuan, and forty gold bars, as well as these jewelry, plus You can have two or three hundred thousand yuan, right?"
Zhao Qingyun didn't dare to speak, so he turned his head to look at him coldly, "But now you can't run, why don't you explain it?"
Zhao Qingyun said with a bitter face, "Mrs. Fu Shao, I really don't know anything, what do you want me to explain?"
Leng Sa said: "I don't care, the gold flowed out of your hands, and I can't find it... I had to hand you over to the Overseer and the cabinet. Besides you, you have three sons, seven or eight grandchildren. Son? The youngest are still in babies, what do you want them to do in the future? Poor."
Zhao Qingyun's face turned blue, he raised his head and looked at Leng Sa, "Mrs. Fu Shao, I really don't know, even if you force me to death, I can't help it."
Leng Sa picked up a heavy gold bar from the box and weighed it in his hand, then spread it out in the palm of his hand and looked at it with a smile, "Pengcheng Guanzhu?"
Seeing that Zhao Qingyun didn't speak with a livid face, Leng Sa didn't insist, "If you don't know, then come with us, maybe you will know when you think about it. I just don't know what will happen to Sun Liang if you disappear. Think? How will you entertain your family? Ah, I remembered, your parents are still Sun Liang's uncle and aunt, shouldn't they care about you?"
Zhao Qingyun's face became more and more difficult to look, and he continued coldly, "I heard that Sun Liang killed Sun Rang two days ago?"
Shang Feiyun nodded and said with a smile, "Isn't that true? Sun Rang is still the cousin of Sun Dujun, and Dujun Sun really made a decision to kill." Which onion is that?
Zhao Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Fu Shao, don't deceive people too much!"
Leng Sa lightly snorted, and said with some surprise, "I'm deceiving people too much? Mr. Zhao, you helped Sun Liang emptied the entire Southwest financial inventory of gold, do you think you did it too much? Or, you Do you think Sun Liang can make a comeback? Mr. Zhao intends to be a loyal minister who will die after all his efforts?"
Shang Feiyun chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhao, I advise you not to think too much, it's useless to delay time, since we can come in, we can naturally guarantee to take you out with you. Sun The good times are over, if you can run away, that’s all, since it’s already in our hands, why don’t you think about yourself more?”
Zhao Qingyun looked at Shang Feiyun, and then at Leng Sa, who was standing at the table, a look of struggle flashed in his eyes.
Leng Sa was not in a hurry, he simply sat down at the table, as if he was not in a hurry and waited for him to make a decision slowly.
Time passed slowly, one minute, ten minutes, half an hour, and no one came near the room to greet him.
Sometimes he clearly heard voices from outside, but soon those people left again, seemingly unaware that there were three people in the room at this time.
Forty minutes, fifty minutes...
Leng Sa frowned slightly, lowered her head and looked at the watch on her wrist.
Even though the temperature was still a little low in early February, Zhao Qingyun's face was already dripping with sweat, and the back of his short jacket was soaked with sweat.
As Leng Sa began to look at the watch, he seemed to feel that he could hear the movement of the watch. So his face became paler and paler, and the whole person was a little unstable.
"It's been an hour..." Leng Sa said with a sigh, put down the hand wearing the watch and raised his head to look at Zhao Qingyun, "Mr. Zhao, you..."
Zhao Qingyun shuddered and suddenly said, "I...I said..."
Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, "Please."
Zhao Qingyun seemed to have lost his strength. He sat down in the chair softly and leaned back, "I really don't know... I don't know where those gold bars were moved by Sun Liang. However, at the beginning, When the batch of gold bars was transported out of the warehouse, I helped. I… Sun Liang asked me to transport the gold bars to the outside of the city in batches and handed them over to his captain of the guard. I was afraid of attracting attention, so it took five times to deliver them all I can tell you the place, but I really don't know what happened to the gold in the back and where it was shipped."
Smiles coldly, "If it's Mr. Zhao, would you rest assured to let someone unrelated to handle such a large batch of gold?"
Zhao Qingyun was silent and said coldly: "It seems that this captain of the guards is very trusted by Sun Liang?"
Zhao Qingyun hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, he is also one of Sun Liang's adjutants, and he is the person Sun Liang trusts the most. He trusts more than our cousins. If Sun Liang has any messy things, he will let him He does it. That's all I know, nothing else really."
Nodding coldly, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for telling me that recently, I asked Mr. Zhao to stay at home and don't run around."
Zhao Qingyun's face froze, he wanted to run away.
The reason why I chose to run now is because if it's too early, Sun Liang won't let him go.
Now that Sun Liang has no time to take care of them is a good time, and I am afraid he is not the only one who thinks so.
As if to understand Zhao Qingyun's thoughts, he said coldly, "Mr. Zhao, think clearly. If I can successfully retrieve that batch of gold, the Overseer and the military department of the cabinet will be considered a meritorious man, and everything is easy to say. But if you run away, you will be a fugitive who has treasoned with Sun Liang for the rest of your life. In addition to escaping from the country, you can only find a rural place to live incognito. At least for a few decades, your Zhao family will not be able to make a living. "
"I..." Zhao Qingyun looked at her suspiciously and said, "You really won't pursue me?"
Leng Sa smiled and said, "Then it depends on what you have done? If there is nothing unkind, and you have saved such a huge loss for the country, you should always be properly rewarded."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingyun was obviously relieved, and after hesitating, he said to Leng Sa, "Okay, I can cooperate with you, but the Fu family must ensure the safety of my family after taking Pengcheng, and it can't be because of My relationship with the Sun family will hold me accountable. Don’t worry, I’m just a civil servant, and I haven’t done anything utterly depraved.” He was just greedy for some money, and even if Sun Liang pressured him, he wouldn’t dare to do anything. Excessive. As long as the Fu family doesn't sit together, he can't be blamed for anything he did.
Thinking of his family of dozens of young and old, and looking at the money on the table in front of him, Zhao Qingyun can only accept his fate.
The Fu family has already come to the door. Even if he wants to escape, can he really escape?
Leng Sa nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, happy cooperation?"
Zhao Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he has made up his mind, many things are easier to say. "I know something about Sun Liang's adjutant..."
Soon Leng Sa and Shang Feiyun left. Watching the two go out, Zhao Qingyun finally let out a breath and collapsed into the chair.
He turned his head stiffly and looked at the jewelry and gold bars on the table. Zhao Qingyun only felt his heart beating fast. After a while, he finally calmed down, and he shouted, "Someone!"
After a while, someone came in, "Master?"
Looking at the person who usually follows him, Zhao Qingyun is also relieved. He looked at the man and asked, "Where have you been?"
The man said: "Back to the master, the people around the old lady just came to spread the word and asked Xiao Xiao to come over."
Zhao Qingyun frowned, "The people around the old lady? What are you asking you to do?"
The man said calmly, "The old lady said that the master has lost a lot of weight these days, so let the young man take a good look at the master and don't be too tired."
Zhao Qingyun was stunned for a while before waving his hand, "You should step back."
The man looked at his master with some doubts, and somehow always felt that the master looked much weaker than usual.
Watching the man respectfully back out, Zhao Qingyun leaned back into the chair and never sat up again.
His mother really cares about him, but she usually only warns his wife, after all, he is already in his forties, not a child, and he never specifically calls the people around him.
As for why he remembered this, he didn't want to pursue it.
