Chapter 60: Qingzhou Prefect Weining Road

Gao family.

Inside the study.

Gao Yan was writing a letter quickly and then sending it to various places in Qingzhou by carrier pigeons.

There was no long text in the letter, just a simple symbol representing dormancy.

From Gao Yan's perspective, Qin Feng was a complete bait, and this was a trap set by the Inspection Institute.

At this moment, their Gao family might have been exposed.

Moreover, not many people knew that Gao Hai was out on business. If the Inspection Institute knew about it, there must be a traitor in the Gao family!

"No chaos!"

Gao Yan took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Doubt, yes! Doubt!
At this point, the Inspection Office should have only suspected them and not really discovered anything, otherwise they would have just gone to their homes to arrest them. Why would they go through the trouble of fishing?

So the key point now is to prevent Gao Hai and the others from leaking the matter.

Gao Yan was relatively relieved about his cousin. At that time in Qi State, the two of them received training together, and they were able to hide even when facing torture.

But the same cannot be said for the other person, Jiao Liu.

This person did not come from Northern Qi, but was slowly trained after they came to Qing Kingdom.

Because of his identity, Jiao Liu doesn't know many secrets.

But what he knew was enough to expose them.

So for safety reasons, he either had to rescue the person quickly or silence him!
Thinking of this, Gao Yan left the Gao Mansion and went to inquire personally.

The situation was urgent and he could no longer wait for news in the mansion.

As for the matter of the traitor, he had ordered everyone in the mansion to gather together and wait for him to come back to deal with it.

Wei Mansion, reception hall.

Wei Ningdao, the prefect of Qingzhou, was sitting in the first seat at this time, his eyes were sharp as torches, scanning the four officials in the hall.

Although his mother was seriously ill and needed his company, the city was busy with labor and he had to take time out to handle official business.

At this moment, he was dealing with a difficult matter.

'Boom! '

Wei Ningdao slammed the table and angrily pointed at the four people and cursed.

"What time is it now! How dare you touch the grain provided by the imperial court for disaster relief?!"

"Horse bandits robbed food? How can you say such a thing?!"

"It's fine if you do this kind of thing normally, but now that this matter has been discovered, every one of you will be beheaded!"

There is not much grain in the granaries in Qingzhou City. Opening the granaries to provide disaster relief is fine in the short term, but it will definitely not be enough as time goes by.

Therefore, a long time ago, Weining Dao ordered the surrounding counties to escort grain to Qingzhou.

But who knew that several of these grain caravans were robbed by horse bandits and all the grain was taken away.

But the question is, where are the real horse bandits near their Qingzhou City?

They are nothing more than the black gloves of those family forces. In fact, they are all controlled by various forces in the city.

At this time, the horse bandits robbed the grain, but they were just pretending to seize money and grain.

They had done this kind of thing many times in the past, and they would give gifts to Wei Ningdao every time, so Wei Ningdao turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

And those horse bandits are also merits. When they show signs of getting out of control, or have a tendency to become bigger, the Qingzhou garrison will go out to suppress the bandits and gain merits.

But the situation is different now. There are too many victims, food is in short supply in the city, and prices have skyrocketed.

The most important thing is that all the food would go into Wei Ningdao's pocket, and he could make a fortune.

Naturally, he was unhappy that it was taken away from him at this time!

"Please calm down, sir!" An official immediately bowed.

"Now there are disaster victims everywhere and horse bandits are rampant. I will definitely lead people to wipe them out and restore Qingzhou City to a peaceful and prosperous situation!" The person who spoke, his family actually did not interfere in the "business" of the horse bandits.

But his rival was in this business, and he got this opportunity to eliminate his rival, so how could he not be active?

"good very good!"

Wei Ningdao nodded with satisfaction and said directly to the official: "Sir Zhou, go and get two hundred people to wipe out the horse bandits now!"

He called four people together to talk about this matter, actually he was talking to them specifically.

Three of them were engaged in the horse bandit business, and there was an official named Zhou who did not do this business and was not on good terms with these three.

He said this in order to let one of them go to suppress the bandits as a warning to the other three.

"grown ups."

As soon as Wei Ning finished speaking, someone immediately rushed to explain something.

This scene made Officer Zhou stop and prepare to listen to the situation again.

But Wei Ningdao glanced at the person who spoke and said in a deep voice: "Why? Lord Wang wants to plead for the horse bandit?"

"I dare not!" The man shook his head and waved his hands.

Pleading for the bandits? Does the next sentence mean colluding with the bandits?
If he puts on this big hat, he probably won't be able to take it off.

Even if it could be taken off, his head would probably be taken off as well.

"Lord Zhou, why don't you go quickly?" Wei Ning frowned.

Official Zhou did not dare to delay and went out immediately.

After achieving the goal, Wei Ningdao said to the remaining three people: "There are many victims and the official duties are very busy. Please help us overcome the difficulties together!"

"Yes!" the three of them bowed.

"If you have nothing else to do, just go to work."

Soon, the three were sent away, and Wei Ningdao also left the reception hall and walked towards the backyard.

After walking a few steps, the steward of the Wei Mansion came over and said.

"Sir, Governor Zhou is here and he brought a skilled doctor with him. I see that the doctor doesn't seem to be very old."

Although Qin Feng has become taller due to martial arts training, his dress is very mature, and his movements and expressions are also like those of an adult.

But as a doctor, if your hair is not white and you don't have a beard, people will not think you have much medical skills.

After all, Chinese medicine is a typical experience-based skill, and the older you get, the better you become.

"Bring them to the backyard." Wei Ningdao didn't think too much and gave the order directly.

He knew Zhou Liquan. He was a steady and intelligent man and would not bring a quack doctor with him.

"Yes!"

The housekeeper went back quickly and brought Qin Feng and Zhou Liquan to the backyard, where they also met Wei Ningdao.

"Greetings, sir." Zhou Liquan bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, His Excellency the Prefect." Qin Feng also bowed.

The prefect is the same as the prefectural governor. They are the same official position, just with different names.

"Is this the doctor?" Wei Ning frowned and glanced at Zhou Liquan.

In fact, at his level, he basically won't judge people by their appearance.

But Qin Feng is so young that it is hard to believe.

"Yes."

Zhou Liquan nodded and explained: "Doctor Zhou is a very skilled doctor. He was previously at the North Gate."

After a brief explanation, Wei Ningdao's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Qin Feng, and his face was full of smiles.

"What a promising young man!" he exclaimed in admiration.
