If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

Hearing Ying Yi's voice, Fu Ying and Qin Shu subconsciously looked at each other.

Fu Ying stood up quickly, pulled Qin Shu up, quickly helped her fix her makeup, and took her out of the inner room.

When Fu Ying put on his coat, Qin Shu's complexion had returned to normal. She walked over, opened the door, and asked, "Master Ying, what happened?"

Ying Yi walked in and quickly glanced at Fu Ying. He saw him sitting at the table, tidying up his clothes. There was a replacement of cotton cloth on the table. He felt relieved and whispered, "I just received a pigeon message from His Highness. The Emperor has not ordered Miss Qin to return to the capital to report."

Qin Shu's heart skipped a beat and she turned to look at Fu Ying.

Fu Ying's face also looked unhappy. "Someone falsely conveyed the imperial edict?"

The task of promoting grain planting in Jin has been completed. When he received the emperor's order, even Prince Yu had no doubts.

Qin Shu frowned, "Who is so bold as to forge an imperial decree so openly? Are they trying to create..."

At this point, Qin Shu was stunned, and the three of them said in unison: "Prince Ning?!"

Fu Ying's eyes shone, and he called out, "Someone come!"

Dong Ping, the guard of the Fu family outside the door, came in and said, "Master."

"Send someone to Qishan to see if the soldiers who searched the mountain have left, and investigate the movements of the soldiers from Yizhou and Ningzhou."

The guard bowed in response and turned to leave.

Half an incense stick of time later, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded as soon as they entered the yard. Dongping had already jumped off his horse and ran towards Fuzhen's room, "Master, something big has happened in Qishan!"

Even though Fu Ying was brave, he couldn't help but change his expression when he saw thousands of corpses on the northern slope of Qishan.

Especially the fatal wounds on the corpse, all of which were caused by a single blow, and the move was clean and neat, which clearly was done by a master.

The general was killed by an arrow through the chest, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised and his expression was relaxed. It was obvious that the deceased knew the murderer.

Still very familiar.

Another person who went to get the news also came quickly and reported: "My lord, the Ningzhou soldiers have already set off for Yizhou."

Ningzhou is located in the northeast of Yizhou. To go to Yizhou, you can either pass through the Qishan Gorge or go to Luoyan Lake.

And what were the Ningzhou soldiers doing in Yizhou?

Fu Ying pondered and said, "I learned from the Yizhou soldiers patrolling the mountains that the Ningzhou soldiers will arrive at Qishan after dawn to search for the bandits who "killed the imperial envoy."

He frowned slightly and asked, "Now the 'bandit' has not been caught, but has gone to Yizhou instead?"

Ying Yi sneered, "What if that 'bandit' teamed up with Lord Xiaofu, killed 5,000 soldiers from Yizhou, and headed for the capital?"

Fu Ying thought about it and cold sweat instantly broke out.

When the Ningzhou soldiers arrived at Qishan at dawn, all the Yizhou soldiers had been killed, with no one spared. However, Fu Yan and Qin Shu, who had been kidnapped by the "mountain bandits", appeared on the way to Beijing with their men.

No one has proven that the death of the Yizhou soldiers in Qishan was not related to the Fu family, but no one has proven that it was related to the Ningzhou soldiers either.

If the Ningzhou soldiers reported to the palace that Fu Ying and Qin Shu had killed the soldiers and sneaked into the capital with the intention of assassinating the emperor before Fu Ying and Qin Shu arrived in the capital, would the emperor allow them to come to the capital to defend themselves?

According to his previous treatment of vassal kings who were suspected of rebellion, the emperor would rather kill his own brothers by mistake than let them go.

What’s more, Fu Rong and Qin Shu are two small subjects.

I am afraid that before they even get close to the capital, they will be surrounded by soldiers and beheaded on the spot.

Ying Yi said quickly: "I will convey the message to His Highness now."

Fu Yu sneered, "By the time your news reaches the capital, the news that I am plotting a rebellion will probably have spread to the palace."

Ying Yi asked anxiously: "What should we do then?"

How to do?

They had been out of Jin for two days.

If they returned for no reason, Prince Ning would only need to accuse them of "returning without success because they knew their conspiracy had been exposed", and the Jin underworld soldiers would not dare to disobey the emperor's decree to suppress the rebellion.

If we continue to the capital...

Since the emperor did not summon them back to the capital, their trip to the capital was like returning without being summoned.

This further solidifies the charge of treason.

And there were soldiers from Ningzhou Prefecture leading the charge to "suppress the rebellion".

When dealing with "traitors", you can execute them first and report later.

As long as these two people die, then growing grain and recruiting soldiers in Jin will become a means of winning over people's hearts.

It is malicious and has ulterior motives.

And the Prince of Jin, who recommended Qin Shu's new grain, would also be reprimanded and alienated by the emperor.

But at the same time, this is also a risky move for Prince Ning.

Once his lies are exposed, he will also be doomed.

Prince Ning was unwilling to accept defeat, so he decided to burn his boats. He was courting death, and he would drag the other two down with him!

In the future, even if Prince Jin successfully succeeds to the throne, this "rebellion" incident will plant a thorn in Prince Jin's heart.

As long as the Fu family has no exploitable value in the eyes of King Jin, Fu Ying's position will become extremely embarrassing both in the court and in the Fu family.

After returning to the inn, Fu Ying told Qin Shu what happened.

Qin Shu smiled and said, "It's clear who wants to rebel. King Ning dared to bring the imperial soldiers to Yizhou. It's possible that the Yizhou imperial soldiers have already colluded with him. Those 5,000 imperial soldiers must be the outliers who were killed with a borrowed knife."

"Prince Ning had been planning for many years, and the throne that was once within his grasp was gone in one night. How could he be willing to accept failure like this?"

Fu Ying asked in a low voice: "You mean, he wants to rebel?"

Qin Shu said: "Isn't this obvious? Otherwise, why would he take this opportunity to move his troops towards the capital?"

"We two want to assassinate the emperor and rebel? He comes to hunt us down? What a joke! Not to mention that there is no benefit or chance of success if we do this. Besides, I have land and shops in the capital. If I want to rebel with you, I should at least get rid of my property in advance, right?"

"The emperor is not a three-year-old child. How can he not judge it? Since Prince Ning said so, he just wants an excuse to mobilize troops."

Fu Ying sighed and said, "Now the news of our trip to the capital will definitely be controlled by Prince Ning. As long as the emperor knows that we intend to go to the capital to assassinate him, he will definitely send troops to capture us and bring us back to the capital to be punished."

"As long as Prince Ning does something with the selection of personnel, we won't be able to reach the capital."

Qin Shu pondered and said, "I'm afraid that once these rumors reach the capital, he will find a way to control the emperor as soon as possible and then summon us to the capital. At that time, if we don't return to the capital, it will be disobeying the emperor's order. But as soon as we enter the capital, we will be killed."

She ordered to Mo Laowang who was guarding the door, "Go and call Wang Lu over."

Wang Lu is the Wang Cunzi who followed Qin Shu with the Qin Mansion guards when Zhang Cheng kidnapped Qin Shu and brought her back to Beijing.

He was a scout of the Beiguan Army in the past.

When Ying Yi returned to Jin to seek reinforcements, all the guards from the Qin residence followed him.

Wang Lu is not tall, dark, thin, and plain-looking. He is the kind of person who can hardly be found in a crowd.

Qin Shu said to Fu Ying, "Find someone who is good at Qinggong and take Wang Lu back to Beijing. Wang Lu, after you get to Beijing, go to Qin's shop to find Dong Shun and ask him to take you to find a beggar named Feng San."

Wang Lu lowered his head respectfully and memorized the names of the people the patriarch had given him.

"Find Feng San and have him spread the news that the Ningzhou soldiers have quietly moved out of camp and are planning to gather and station outside the capital with the Yizhou, Pingzhou, and Nan Daying garrisons. Prince Ning wants to take the emperor with him to control the world and force the emperor to abdicate."
