The Only Favourite Ugly Husband

Chapter 159 – Jiang Zhen Wants Power

A total of eight escorts run away and the guests they killed had cooperated with Jinzhen escort agency for many years.

When Jiang Zhen got the news, he knew that someone was definitely making trouble from him this time.

“What happened to those escorts who robbed the goods, and where are their families now?” Jiang Zhen asked.

When Jinzhen escort agency recruited escorts it was also necessary to check the family situation of these escorts so generally, he would not hire a lone person.

In these days there was no ID card or anything like this so it was too dangerous to hire a lone person.

“Those escorts were all from Fucheng and their families had already left their houses empty.” He Chunsheng said: “But I have asked people to check them out. As long as they are still within the scope of Wexing Province, we will certainly be able to find them.”

“Mm-hmm.” Jiang Zhen nodded and then said: “Make more effort, make sure to find them!”

“Yes!” He Chunsheng responded.

Jiang Zhen sent a lot of people to find these people while also assigning more people for Zhao Jinge, Zhao Liu, Zhao Fugui and his two children protection.

As a result, there were no enough people on hand.

At the same time, there have been many unfavorable rumors spreading about Jinzhen escort agency in Fucheng.

“That Jinzhen escort agency is too much, how dare they force people to die!”

“Yes, that Jin merchant really had some bad luck. He had silver robbed but had no way to ask for help. In the end he could only commit suitcase in front of Jinzhen escort agency.”

“In the past, I always thought it was safe to go to the Jinzhen escort agency to escort the goods, but now it seems that it is not necessarily true…”

…

Zhao Jinge went out from home and was on his way to the Jinzhen escort agency when he heard such remarks, frowning he felt more or less uncomfortable.

Although the Jinzhen escort agency was founded by Jiang Zhen it was him who developed it little by little so he had a deep affection toward Jinzhen escort agency. Feeling wronged now.

When Zhao Jinge come to Jinzhen escort agency, Jiang Zhen was about to go out. Seeing Jiang Zhen, Zhao Jinge hurriedly his worried and uncomfortable expression.

Jiang Zhen has been working hard enough these days so he couldn’t let him worry about himself.

‘Jinge, watch over Jinzhen escort agency while I will go to see Zheng Yi.” Jiang Zhen said.

“Alright.” Zhao Jinge replied

Jiang Zhen smiled at Zhao Jinge and then went directly to Qingfeng Building.

The Qingfeng Building in the Fucheng was originally built outside the city but because the business was very good it grew bigger and bigger and later… Zheng Yi built a separate courtyard directly next to the Qingfeng House for the convenience of entertaining guests.

He had been accompanying a group of gentlemen from Fucheng to play around the other day, and came back in a hurry just last night after knowing that something had happened to the Jinzhen escort agency.

When Jiang Zhen arrived at Zheng Yi’s mansion, which was located next to Qingfeng Building, Zheng Yi had just woken up and was still yawning.

“Wait for me for a while.” Seeing Jiang Zhen, Zheng Yi said, then he took out a snuff bottle and took a puff.

After doing it he became much soberer: “Tell me what’s going on.”

Jiang Zhen did not hesitate to tell all the things that had happened to him.

Zheng Yi frowned as his fingers tapped gently on the table, finally he said: “It may be other sea merchants from Wexing Province, or it may be some leftover power of the Hongjiang Salt Farm.”

Jiang Zhen’s development was a bit fast, which more or less affected the interests of some local sea merchant from Wexing Province who most likely wanted to teach him a lesson. Apart from them there were also salt merchants who had been suppressed by them.

In the beginning, they left the main forced behind Hongjiang Salt Farm to be destroyed by the court but after all it was impossible to catch all the people involved.

And those who survived, can they not hate them to death?

“I also think so but I don’t know who it is.”Jiang Zhen said.

When he first set up the Jinzhen escort agency, he wanted to take root in the south of the Yangtze River, but later, after he was arrested by an imperial envoy, his mentality changed a lot. He even started planning his way out overseas.

Because of this, he did not attach as much importance to the Jinzhen escort agency as he did at the beginning.

But even so, after someone found trouble with Jinzhen escort agency it made him very angry.

“If you don’t know who it was, check it out! I will check it with you.” Zheng Yi said: “I don’t believe that with so many of us, we won’t even be able to find out such a little thing!”

As time went by, the entanglement between their Zheng family and Jiang Zhen only increased.

The goods that Jiang Zhen sold to overseas as a sea merchant were all acquired by his Zheng family.

In such a situation, Zheng Yi wanted to protect Jiang Zhen by any means.

Jiang Zhen was stunned when he heard Zheng Yi words, but then just smiled and said: “Right.”

After Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi discussed the matter, Jiang Zhen went back home.

“Jiang Zhen, I heard that something happened outside, what’s going on?” Zhao Fugui saw Jiang Zhen coming back and asked.

Jiang Zhen smiled: “Father, don’t worry, it’s fine.” Now, he has really relaxed.

Before, when the people from the Changlong fighting business got in trouble with him he didn’t take it to heart. Also, why should he pay attention to the person who only dares to hide behind the scenes and use some small tricks?

With so many people under his hands, he was not an easy target!

“I’m glad it’s all right…” Zhao Fugui said, feeling that Jiang Zhen just said that to appease him but he didn’t ask any more questions.

Without giving any more explanation, Jiang Zhen stood up and then went to Jinzhen escort agency again.

In Jinzhene escort agency office, Zhao Jinge encountered some trouble – many merchants of Fucheng who signed contracts with the Jinzhen escort agency before now wanted to end their contracts.

Since the Jinzhen escort agency escort would steal from its clients and escort would snatch goods from inside… they didn’t dare to continue their cooperation.

The Jinzhen escort agency had a very large number of people, if there was not enough business supporting so many people would definitely make them lose money. Zhao Jinge tried to convince others, but these people are not willing.

“Boss Zhao, we don’t want to ask you for help with our good deliver so why are you forcing it?’

“That’s right! Boss Zhao, isn’t it good for everyone to take a step back?”

“No matter what, I no longer dare to let your Jinzhen escort agency help me deliver the goods!”

…

“Jinge if they don’t want to use Jinzhen escort agency to deliver their goods, cancel their contracts.” Jiang Zhen who comes from outside stated directly.

“Boss Jiang is so straightforward!” Hearing Jiang Zhen words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled one after another.

They no longer wanted to use the Jinzhen escort agency to help them transport their goods, but they had no intention of offending the Jinzhen escort agency either so when they left, they said some complimentary words.

The two sides did not tear their faces, but these merchants, in the end, still left.

Before many merchants wanted to end the cooperation with the Jinzhen escort agency but they still had some concerns. But seeing that someone else had already ended their cooperation with Jinzhen escort agency they no longer had these concerns.

In time, more and more merchants came to their door to cancel their cooperation.

Jiang Zhen agreed to all of it, he also did not hide it from his subordinates.

“Apart from it, what else our escort agency can do?”

“I heard that Boss made a lot of money when he went to sea, but the escort agency is different… do you think it’s possible that boss no longer wants to keep the escort agency open?”

“Not open? Then what do we do?”

“We did not steal from our clients, we are all wrongly accused!”

…

The treatment Jiang Zhen gave to his escort has always been very good.

In the past, these escort working in Jinzhen escort agency didn’t have any ideas, but now …… Seeing that Jinzhen escort agency was in crisis, they suddenly remembered how good their escort agency was.

They did not want anything to happen to their escort agency so they hated these escort who killed clients and run away very much. As for these escorts who had protected the businessman surnamed Jin, they had already regretted it very much.

They shouldn’t have stopped fighting just because there were too many robbers at that time!

“Boss, I am sorry!” These people felt so uncomfortable that they especially went to Jiang Zhen to apologize.

“It’s okay.” Jiang Zhen said, he had already understood. He also knew that although these men did not try their best to protect the goods, they protected boss Jin.

He certainly wouldn’t have fought so hard to protect just some marbles.

“Boss, our escort agency…” The men asked hesitantly.

“The escort agency is in a bit of trouble now, but it’s not without a solution.” Jiang Zhen said: “Now that the business of our escort agency is all gone everyone should concentrate on finding and catching these traitors!”

“Yes!” Hearing Jiang Zhen words the whole escort agency mobilized.

They had given up most of their business and had a lot of free manpower and ships now. These people all come from all part of Wexing province with their ships and started looking for people.

They must find escort who dared to betray their escort agency!

Their escort agency was in trouble and needs their help. The escort of Jinzhen escort agency was full of enthusiasm as they began to catch traitors non-stop. At the same time, they also observed the situation of the people around them, delivering all sort of news to Fucheng.

Just a few days later, the people of Fucheng found that no matter where they went, they seemed to be able to see the people of the Jinzhen escort agency!

Some of them were guarding the river checking the boats passing by, while others stood guard on some roads, watching the people coming and going.

Jinzhen escort agency that looked very inconspicuous before unexpectedly had so many people. They also caused no hindrance in Fucheng and even people from Yamen greeted them with a smile.

In a remote village in Wexing Province, a group of people living in an old house looked very anxious.

“What should we do now? There are people from the Jinzhen escort agency everywhere so we can’t get out! “

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have done such a thing for money!”

“It’s all because of you! If you haven’t forced me…”

“We forced you? It’s obvious that you heard that there was money that you wanted to do it with us!”

……

These people put the blame on each other, before worrying again.

How are they gonna escape?

While worrying, a voice suddenly came from outside: “Several masters, there are few suspicious people inside!”
