Chapter 362 Additional Influence
the next day.
Small buildings in the suburbs.
Seven or eight subordinates knelt in front of Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen's complexion was very ugly, his handsome face was shrouded in a layer of black haze, the corner of his mouth no longer had the usual frivolous smile, replaced by an ice-like coldness.
Originally planned to take this opportunity to get the Thunderbolt, but the result was good. I lost my wife and lost my army!
Thunderbolt finally entered the barracks of the Anti-Japanese Army! It has become the reassurance of soldiers in this special time! The chances of doing meritorious service for Chu Lan have increased!
Qi Zhen asked: "Is there any news about the Thunderbolt maker?"
The subordinates who were kneeling on the ground dared not say anything.
"There is no news? Are you all useless? The anti-Japanese army has already got the Thunderbolt, and there is no news about the creator of the Thunderbolt?"
"Don't be angry, my lord. The maker of the thunderbolt didn't show up. The ship merchant said he didn't know about the maker. He got the thunderbolt by accident. So the anti-Japanese army only got what was left in the hands of the boatman. The two boxes of thunderbolt bombs will be gone when they are used up, and they may not be able to play a big role in the process of fighting against Japanese pirates."
Wen Yan Qizhen sneered: "If you didn't find it, you didn't find it. Don't make excuses for me!"
The subordinates were silent.
"Continue to look for clues, and if you don't want to die, bring back a result that satisfies me! Otherwise, come and see me!" Qi Zhen ordered.
"The subordinates take orders!"
###
In the study of Yingzhuyuan.
Wei Jin was also sitting in front of the desk, and Ke Chongshan and Zhang Yi were reporting 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 had placed dead soldiers in the barracks early in the morning. As soon as Zheng Zhongye was exposed, he immediately poisoned him to death, and didn't give him a chance to expose himself." Ke Chongshan couldn't help commenting.
"Yes." Wei Jin was not surprised by this result.
Zhang Yi said again: "Speaking of which, Zheng Zhongye is also an effective subordinate of the Sixth Prince. If he is dead, the Sixth Prince is considered to have lost a capable officer. We have made a mistake this time."
Ke Chongshan said: "If you want me to say, the eldest lady is still amazing! If it weren't for her exquisite arrangements, there would be no such result!"
Zhang Yi also agreed: "Miss is really powerful, that thunderbolt is the most powerful weapon I have seen so far. With such a weapon, why worry about the enemy not being destroyed?"
This can be considered unintentional. Wei Ruo's original intention was to find out the spies in the Anti-Japanese Army and help Xu Zhengyong get promoted by the way, but he didn't expect that it would also play other roles invisibly.
"Don't involve Ruo'er." Wei Jin also said.
"Yes, the subordinates know." Zhang Yi and Ke Chongshan hurriedly responded, not daring to mention Wei Ruo again.
Wei Jin also asked: "What's the reaction from the Seventh Prince?"
"I see, the seventh and sixth princes will continue to stare."
"Yes, this subordinate takes orders."
Zhang Yi Ke Chongshan retreated from the study after finishing his report, then quietly climbed over the wall and left the Xiaowei's mansion.

The news that Wei Mingting temporarily acted as the garrison, and Xu Zhengyong temporarily acted as the deputy garrison soon reached Wei Ruo's ears.
Wei Ruo couldn't help being a little surprised. She knew that Brother Xiaoyong would get a chance to be promoted after this incident, but she never expected to be promoted to three levels in a row.
"Miss, Brother Xiaoyong has been promoted to three consecutive levels this time. According to this situation, he really has a chance to surpass the master!" Xiumei looked excited.
This also means that brother Xiaoyong really has the opportunity to fulfill his promise, become the lady's backer, and help the lady leave the school captain's mansion openly and aboveboard!
"Don't get too excited, this is only temporary, whether you can really take office depends on the intention of the court." Wei Ruo said.
"Maybe it's really possible. Brother Xiaoyong has done a lot of work this time. He helped the barracks find food and grass, found thunderbolts, and now he also uncovered the traitor in the anti-Japanese army! Three things Great credit!"
Xiumei has great expectations for this.
Wei Ruo said with a smile: "In any case, the promotion should be a sure thing. We will find him to celebrate next time Brother Xiaoyong comes home."
"Well! Bring good wine and meat to celebrate! This time I won't argue with him, let him show off his quick tongue." Xiumei added.
The smile on Wei Ruo's face became stronger: "Okay, let's change our clothes, let's go out and visit the magistrate's mansion. I haven't passed many days, and there aren't many things recently, but I can't be so slack."
"Okay, miss, I'll go get ready."
Wei Ruo and Xiumei tidied up a bit, then went out in a carriage to the magistrate's mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Wei Ruo was invited by Mrs. Yuan, saying that she had something to give her.
Wei Ruo entered the yard where Mrs. Yuan lived with doubts. After entering the house, she saw Mrs. Yuan sitting on a soft mahogany couch.
Seeing Wei Ruo enter the door, Mrs. Yuan smiled and waved to her, signaling Wei Ruo to come to her.
Wei Ruo walked over, Madam Yuan pulled her to sit beside her, and then took out a letter and handed it to her.
Wei Ruo took the envelope with doubts, but when he opened it, he was surprised to find that there was a household registration document inside.
"Ma'am, you created Xu Heyou's household registration for me?" Wei Ruo asked in surprise.
Mrs. Yuan nodded: "You Xu Heyou's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Just in case, it is better to prepare in advance to have a guarantee. In this way, as long as your daughter is not found and Lushan's true face is not found, This household registration can still save you a lot of trouble."
"Thank you ma'am!" Wei Ruo was very happy, this gift was exactly what she needed right now.
"You don't have to thank me, but you are also thanking yourself. If it wasn't for your land reclamation and disaster relief, which gave so many victims a place to go, the Yamen wouldn't have had the opportunity to register households and naturalizations for these land reclamation victims. , help you get this household registration done."
"I still want to thank Madam for thinking of me so much." Wei Ruo was grateful.
Mrs. Yuan smiled softly, and then brought the topic to the issue of land reclamation and disaster relief: "The late rice seeds and sweet potatoes you planted so that everyone can grow well in order to ensure this year's output are growing well. As long as there are no major disturbances in the next period of time, this year It is very hopeful that there will be a good harvest.”
"And the development of wasteland reclamation and disaster relief is currently within your expectations. Those victims are working harder than we expected, and the progress is even much faster than expected. Now all the planned wasteland has been reclaimed. The first wave Fertilization is also in progress, but so far there is a relative shortage of fertilizers, so we can only do it step by step."
