Chapter 2340: Chapter 2340: Relocation

That evening, Meng Yunzheng handed a note to the staff.

He now minimized his chances of seeing Qi Lie as much as possible; after handing over the note, he reckoned the staff would make contact with Qi Lie.

In the days that followed, Wei Qin rested in the inn to recover from her injuries.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng continued to roam the city as usual. After several days, the people tailing them gradually grew anxious.

They followed to Qingxuan County to use Meng Yunzheng to track down Qi Lie’s whereabouts. But his movements remained entirely normal, and he didn’t once disappear from under their watchful eyes, let alone meet anyone.

Could it be that he also failed to contact Qi Lie, and that’s why he’s lingered in Qingxuan County for so long?

Just when those tailing couldn’t wait any longer, Meng Yunzheng and another person entered Zhao Xi’s room to inquire about Wei Qin’s condition. "We have to leave. How’s her recovery? Can she travel?"

Upon hearing they had to leave, Wei Qin’s eyes lit up. She could now sit up and walk a few steps, albeit with difficulty. Although it still hurt a lot, under Zhao Xi’s treatment, she was recovering quite well.

Not waiting for Zhao Xi to respond, she impatiently replied, "I can travel."

She then asked, "Where are we going? To Dongan Province?" She already knew her son was studying and living in Dongan Province.

Surprisingly, Meng Yunzheng shook his head, "No, we’re going to Heichang County. We have unfinished business in Heichang County and cannot return to Dongan Province for now. Originally, we wanted you to stay in Qingxuan County to recover, but Cheng Wenbao has been secretly looking for people these past few days. Staying here is too dangerous for you."

Much of the Cheng Family’s house had been burnt down, and the servant from the room where the firecracker occurred was missing. There were also many bloodstains in the back alley, making Wei Qin the prime suspect, prompting the officers to search for her, of course.

Cheng Wenbao was also worried that Wei Qin might have overheard information about the black market that day and feared an accident, which is why he sent people to look for her.

Over the past few days, during Shu Yu’s outings, they saw officers searching several inns for people.

The inn they were staying at had not been searched. For one thing, Shu Yu was a county magistrate. Even if they came, if Shu Yu insisted that no one was inside and refused a search, they wouldn’t dare force their way in.

Secondly, the people from the black market had been keeping an eye on them and hadn’t seen Wei Qin appear at the inn, so they never thought they could rescue someone unrelated under such circumstances.

Thirdly, they didn’t want to alert the enemy and cause unnecessary alarm, as it would inevitably raise Shu Yu’s and Meng Yunzheng’s suspicions.

If they couldn’t even enter to search, why complicate matters further?

This was also why Wei Qin could quietly recover from her injuries.

But once Shu Yu and the others left, leaving Wei Qin in the black market’s territory was too high of a risk.

Wei Qin felt it was a pity she couldn’t leave the southwest yet. However, she didn’t ask any more questions. She intuitively felt that her cousin Dazhuang’s presence might be related to the man with the string of beads, likely someone involved in the Song Family case.

She couldn’t help with anything now and had become a burden, so she would do whatever they arranged for her.

Zhao Xi also agreed that Wei Qin was fit for short trips, so they prepared to leave Qingxuan County.

Transporting Wei Qin onto the carriage was not difficult. Shu Yu and the others already had a box filled with clothes and daily necessities. They would simply need to redistribute the items into bundles, hide Wei Qin inside the box, and lift it onto the carriage without any issues.

They had bought some items over the past two days, so having a few extra large bags wasn’t unusual.
