Chapter 144: Single Du Qi Niang
"At the command of the clan leader..." Shi Liang's voice was steady and firm, neither appearing humble or cowardly, nor arrogant at all.
He stood there quietly, looking directly at the new patriarch in front of him, waiting for the next instructions.
How should they proceed? Should they continue to huddle in this deep mountain as before, content with the status quo? Or does the newly appointed patriarch have other ambitions and unique plans? Shi Liang had no idea.
"Uncle Shi, has Kang Wu behaved in any unusual way before? Have you noticed any other signs that something is wrong with him?" Wen Shu asked softly.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Shi Liang, not missing any slight change in expression on his face.
Seeing Shi Liang frowning slightly, he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Wen Shu smiled slightly and said soothingly: "Don't worry, Kang Wu colluded with outsiders and tried to betray our Du family and escape.
Now, he has been executed on the spot.
So if you know anything, feel free to tell us without any hesitation.”
Hearing this, Shi Liang suddenly raised his head, his face full of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
He widened his eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "He was executed?" Obviously, this news was too shocking for him to accept for a while.
Du Qiniang, who was standing by, was so angry that her eyebrows were raised and her teeth were clenched. She cursed angrily, "Humph! Kang Wu seems to be an honest man on weekdays. Our Du family has handed this camp to him for many years. We have always trusted him and never had any doubts.
Who could have thought that he would have such ulterior motives? "
"Let's leave this matter for later and discuss it in detail! The most urgent thing is to thoroughly sort out this camp inside and out, so that my Seventh Aunt can take over smoothly as soon as possible!"
Wen Shu quickly interrupted and turned her gaze to Shi Liang standing beside her.
She smiled and continued in a sincere tone, "Uncle Shi, there are many complicated matters in this camp, and I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you for your care and hard work in the future!
After all, Seventh Aunt has just arrived and is still quite unfamiliar with everything here!"
Hearing this, Shi Liang quickly clasped his fists and saluted, and responded respectfully: "Patriarch, you are too kind. These are all my duties. It is my honor to serve you.
Please rest assured, clan leader, I will do my utmost to assist Miss Seventh with all my heart and soul."
Immediately afterwards, everyone began to discuss Kang Wu's former confidants and their recent unusual behavior...
…………
Wen Shu thought about what she had seen today and said to Shi Liang, "There are many people in the camp. Kang Wu has been operating here for so many years, it's possible that he still has confidants.
Seventh Aunt, these Kang Wu followers must be cleared out as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, clan leader. I will not show mercy to anyone who finds out. We can't let a few bad apples ruin such a big camp." Du Qinniang held the whip in her hand, looking eager to try.
Seeing this, Wen Shu knew that Seventh Aunt had misunderstood her meaning. "Seventh Aunt, if there really are people, pull them out, tie them up, and send them to Sixth Uncle."
When Du Qinniang heard that he was being kidnapped and taken to Sixth Uncle, her eyes lit up, "The clan leader is right. Killing that traitor will not only make us have to deal with the aftermath, but it might also chill the hearts of other people in the camp.
Uncle Six is short of workers for the mines, and he's been trying to find people these days. Now, here's a ready-made one."
This is the case, but there is no need to say it so bluntly.
Fortunately, there were no other outsiders here, and Shi Liang was a childhood friend of Seventh Aunt.
Wenshu didn't stop her.
Instead, I told Shi Liang about the fight I saw outside today...
When I came out again, the moon had already climbed over the mountain. Halfway through, some cakes were brought in to fill my stomach.
Wen Shu stood in the yard, looking at the moon that jumped out from the top of the opposite mountain. It was surrounded by a yellow halo and was dazzling to the eyes.
Feeling the footsteps approaching behind her, Wen Shu turned to look at Du Qiniang and said, "Seventh Aunt, I'll go back first."
Du Qiniang didn't know if she was anxious, but she looked a little anxious. "Shu girl, do you have to leave tonight?"
She didn't expect Wen Shu to be so anxious. After making some arrangements inside, she hurried back.
"Seventh Aunt, don't worry, you have the clan seal in your hand, and everyone here will obey your orders.
What's more, Uncle Shi can help you."
He said, looking at Shi Liang who was following behind him, "Uncle Shi, I just told you that there may be a major reshuffle in the near future. I hope you can help keep an eye on it. As for the exercises, you should practice them as soon as possible.
Don’t lose your life for nothing when you go on stage.”
"Chief, don't worry, I will arrange this matter tonight. It's just that I am not good at those things that you mentioned that have ulterior motives, and I don't think there is enough time." Shi Liang spoke the truth. He was good at fighting with others.
He's really not good at doing investigations or anything like that.
This is why he has been standing behind Kang Wu for so many years. It's not that his skills are not good enough, but those menial affairs, no matter how hard he tries, become a mess in his hands.
Can't figure it out.
"Uncle Shi, don't worry." Wen Shu knew that they were worried that after Kang Wu passed away, the business would be handed over to the two of them.
He probably knew that Seventh Aunt was not good at these menial affairs, and that Seventh Aunt had not had any worries in these years. However, Shi Liang had also been running the business here for so many years, although he had not been involved in these menial affairs.
But they also knew that these things had to be done by someone. If they were to leave such a big task to the two of them, within ten days, there might be trouble in the camp because some people were not getting enough food.
He has to be anxious——
"After I go back, I will have someone escort Du Ming here to take care of these things," Wen Shu said, looking at Du Qinnan who already knew the inside story.
"Seventh Aunt, I believe you are also aware of Brother Ming's ambitions outside."
Du Qiniang looked worried and nodded in response, "Yes, that child's heart is not here. He only wants to run away. If we keep him here, he may not stay for long."
Her concerns are not without reason, but in an emergency, we have to make decisions based on the current situation.
But who can tell what happened next? She knew that it was very lively outside with Du Tao.
Wen Shu thought about it and threw the question back in a rather shameless manner, "Seventh Aunt, Uncle Shi, I managed to get this person in for you.
As for whether you can keep them, that depends on your methods."
"this--"
"this--"
Du Qinnan and Shi Liang looked at each other to make sure they had heard correctly, and then looked at Wen Shu with a meaningful look.
It can also be like this——
Forget it, never mind. Du Qinniang is single too. Let’s talk about it when someone comes.
She still didn't believe that this person would give her endless work to do, and that with more people to do, she wouldn't have any messy thoughts.
……
After leaving the camp, half of Wen Shu's guards were gone. A few were left to protect Du Qinniang, and the others stayed in secret to find a way to eliminate the hidden dangers that Kang Wu had planted in the camp.
When they returned to the camp, Jueyu, who had been waiting there, heard the noise and came over.
