Chapter 362 – Additional Influences

The next day.

A small building in the countryside.

There were seven or eight subordinates kneeling in front of Qi Zhen.

Qi Zhen’s own face was very ugly, his handsome face was covered by a layer of black haze, the corners of his mouth had lost the usual frivolous smile, and was replaced by an ice-like coldness.

I was going to take this opportunity to get the thunderbolt, but it turned out to be a lost cause!

The thunderbolts ended up in the barracks of the anti-Japanese army! It became a tranquilizer for the generals at this particular time! It increased Chu Lan’s chances of getting credit!

Qi Zhen asked, “Is there any news about the thunderbolt maker?”

Each of the subordinates kneeling on the ground did not dare to squeak.

“Just no news? Are you all losers? The Anti-Japanese Army has gotten their hands on the Thunderbolt Bombs, and you don’t even have any news about the Thunderbolt Bomb maker?”

“Your Excellency, the maker of that thunderbolt didn’t show up, and that ship merchant said that he didn’t know about the maker either, and that he acquired the thunderbolt by chance. So the anti-Japanese army only got the two boxes of thunderbolts left in the hands of that ship merchant, and after they were used up, they were gone, not necessarily able to play much of a role in the fight against the Japanese invaders.”

At that, Qi Zhen sneered, “Not finding it means not finding it, don’t give me excuses!”

The subordinates were silenced.

“Keep going for clues, and if you don’t want to die, bring back a result that satisfies me! Otherwise, you’ll be brought to me with your head!” Qi Zhen ordered.

“Subordinate to command!”

Inside the study of Welcome Bamboo Court.

Wei Jin also sat in front of the book case, Ke Chongshan Zhang Yi two people are trying to report to him.

“Master, Zheng Zhongye is dead, he should have been silenced by his master.” Zhang Yi said.

“This Sixth Prince is really ruthless, he planted dead soldiers in the barracks a long time ago, and as soon as Zheng Zhongye was exposed, he immediately poisoned the people to death, not giving him the slightest chance to expose himself.” Ke Chongshan couldn’t help but comment.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Jin Yi was not surprised by this outcome.

Zhang Yi added, “Speaking of which, this Zheng Zhongye is also a capable subordinate under the Sixth Prince, and with his death, the Sixth Prince is considered to have one less capable general, and we are considered to be crooked this time.”

Ke Chongshan said, “If you ask me, it’s still Missy who is powerful! If it weren’t for her subtle arrangements, there wouldn’t have been such a result!”

Zhang Yi also agreed, “Missy is really powerful, that thunderbolt is the most powerful weapon I have seen so far. With such a weapon in place, why worry about the enemy not being destroyed?”

This is also regarded as unintentional willow into a shade, Wei Ruo intention is only to uncover the spy in the anti-Japanese army, by the way, to help Xu Zhengyong promotion, but did not expect to invariably also play a role in other things.

“Don’t involve Ruo’er in this.” Wei Jin also said.

“Yes, subordinate knows.” Zhang Yi and Ke Chongshan busily responded, not daring to mention Wei Ruo again.

Wei Jin also asked, “What is the reaction from the Seventh Prince’s side?”

Zhang Yi replied, “The Seventh Prince probably also guessed that the mastermind behind this was the Sixth Prince, but Zheng Zhongye is dead, and as death is no proof, he can’t impeach the Sixth Prince without evidence, so I guess he can only leave it at that. In addition, he has asked Lord Wei to temporarily take over the post of guard, which is a good thing for Lord Wei.”

“I know, continue to keep an eye on the Seventh Prince and Sixth Prince’s side.”

“Yes, subordinate lead.”

Zhang Yi Ke Chongshan retreated from the study after reporting, then silently climbed over the fence and left the school captain’s residence.

The news that Wei Mingting was temporarily replacing the post of guard and Xu Zhengyong was temporarily replacing the post of deputy guard quickly reached Wei Ruo’s ears.

Wei Ruo also can’t help but be a little surprised, she knows that after this incident, Xiaoyong brother will get the opportunity to be promoted, but the three consecutive promotions is really what she didn’t expect.

“Miss, Brother Xiaoyong has been promoted three times in a row this time, and at this rate, he really has a good chance of surpassing Master!” Xiu Mei was all excited.

This also means that Brother Xiaoyong really has a chance to fulfill his promise and become Miss’s backer, helping her leave the school captain’s mansion in an honorable manner!

“Don’t be happy too early, this is still only temporary, whether or not you can really be in office still depends on the court’s meaning.” Wei Ruo said.

“Maybe it can really work, Little Brother Yong has made a lot of achievements this time, helping the military camp to find food and grass for supplies, foraging for thunderbolt bombs, and now he has also uncovered the traitor in the anti-Japanese army! Three great feats!”

Xiu Mei had high hopes for this.

Wei Ruo smiled and said, “In any case, promotion should be the nail in the coffin, so when Brother Xiaoyong comes home next time, we’ll look for him to have a good celebration.”

“Uh-huh! Bring good wine and meat to celebrate! I won’t argue with him this time, let him have his way.” Xiu Mei added.

The smile on Wei Ruo’s face became even thicker, “Alright, change your outfit, let’s go out and make a trip to the governor’s mansion, I haven’t been over there for a few days, not many things have happened recently, but I can’t be so slack.”

“Yes, miss I’ll get ready.”

Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei picked up a little after the carriage went out to the governor’s residence.

Just after entering the mansion, Wei Ruo was invited over by Mrs. Yuan, saying that she had something for her.

Wei Ruo entered the courtyard where Mrs. Yuan lived with doubts, and when she entered the house, she saw that Mrs. Yuan was sitting on a mahogany soft couch.

Seeing Wei Ruo enter the door Mrs. Yuan smiled and waved at her, signaling Wei Ruo to come to her.

Wei Ruo walked over, and Mrs. Yuan pulled her to sit on her side before taking out a letter and handing it to her.

Wei Ruo took the envelope with doubts, but after opening it, he was surprised to find that it was a household registration document.

“Ma’am, you created Xu Wo right’s household registration for me?” Wei Ruo was surprised.

Mrs. Yuan nodded: “Your Xu Heyu’s reputation is getting bigger and bigger, just in case, it’s better to prepare in advance and have a guarantee. In this way as long as your daughter body is not found, Lushan true face is not found, this paper household registration can still help you avoid a lot of trouble.”

“Thank you, ma’am!” Wei Ruo was jubilant, this gift was exactly what she needed at the moment.

“There is no need to thank me, to thank is also to thank yourself, if not you get out of the open land relief, let so many victims have a place to go, the Yamen to these open land victims to make up a household into a cadastre, also will not happen to have this opportunity, to help you to get this cadastre.”

“I still have to thank you, ma’am, for thinking of me so much.” Wei Ruo was grateful.

Mrs. Yuan smiled gently, and then brought the topic to the matter of opening up land for disaster relief: “The late rice seeds and sweet potatoes that you earlier ran to ensure this year’s yield for everyone to plant are now growing well, as long as nothing major happens during the next period of time, there is a great hope for a good harvest this year.”

“And open up the land to carry out disaster relief, so far also all in your expectations, those victims than we expected to work harder, the progress is even faster than expected quite a lot, now has been planned to reclaim all the wasteland, the first wave of fertilizer is also in the middle of the first wave of fertilizer, just so far the relative shortage of fertilizers, can only be a step by step slowly.”
