After hearing Wei Hong's method, Lei Chuhan immediately agreed. The merchants traveled around the world and contacted all kinds of people every day. It can be said that every merchant is an efficient intelligence collector. He placed members of the Blue and White Club in various business banks, secretly using business as a cover-up, and no one could notice it.

Just as Wei Hong and Lei Chuhan were having a deep discussion on the details of this matter, Li Zongren suddenly stumbled and ran in. As soon as he saw Wei Hong, he hurriedly shouted: "Young master, something big happened!"

Wei Hong and Lei Chuhan quickly stopped the topic and looked at Li Zongren in unison. Seeing that Li Zongren was sweating and covered in dust, he expected something big to happen, but after experiencing so many things, Wei Hong had already developed a calm personality in the face of changes, so he was not nervous at all. He pressed his hand at Li Zongren and signaled him not to panic, and then said, "What's going on?"

Li Zongren glanced at Lei Chuhan, then took a deep breath, and shouted: "The batch of grey cloth we transported back from Jiangzhou was robbed halfway!"

"What!?" Wei Hong, who was still calm just now, couldn't help but bounce off the chair when he heard the news, and looked at Li Zongren in disbelief: "When did what happened?"

"Yesterday, when the caravan with grey cloth entered the capital, he was robbed in the evening. A carriage rushing back just now, I only knew about it!" Li Zongren said in a trembling tone, as if he was scared by this.

Although Wei Hong didn't care much about Hongyuan Commercial Bank's business recently, he still knew that Hongyuan Commercial Bank had done the business. As the weather was about to warm up, the people had to change their thick clothes, so they had to make spring clothes. However, there was not much grey cloth in Curry, and the supply of grey cloth from Tianyou Commercial Bank was insufficient. For this reason, Li Xiehe simply decided to purchase a batch of cloth from Jiangzhou and transport it directly back to the capital. First, save the difference in the middle, and the cost would be cheaper. Second, it can also solve the urgent problem of Hongyuan Commercial Bank. As Wei Hong knows, the number of grey cloths was very large, and it cost a full 100,000 taels of silver to purchase alone. If this batch of grey cloth was lost, it would be a big blow to Hongyuan Commercial Bank.

When Wei Hong learned about this, his first reaction was that other businesses with conflicts of interest did a good thing. But then he thought about it. Now Hongyuan Commerce is even in control of the Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, and no business in the cloth industry can compete with Hongyuan Commerce. However, the businesses with financial resources comparable to Hongyuan Commerce are all engaged in tea and porcelain trading. There is no need for all industries to risk angering Wei Hong and attack Hongyuan Commerce. Since it is not a commercial competition, who will be? Wei Hong couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he could only ask Li Zongren again: "Did the driver who escaped said that he was robbed?"

Li Zongren said hurriedly: "The coachman said it was two women. Both of them covered their faces with gauze scarves and couldn't see clearly. He listened to the accent of the speech, not like a Beijinger, but with a hint of the tone of the capital. It was obvious that outsiders lived in the capital for a while. The coachman said that the two women kidnapped the entire convoy and seized the convoy on the Mangshan on the border of the capital. Young Master, should you contact the Ministry of War quickly and ask the Ministry of War to send troops and take the convoy back? There must be no mistake in this batch of grey cloth!"

Wei Hong, who was surprised just now, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Li Zongren's words, raised his lips slightly, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Okay, I understand, you go back."

"Young Master..." Seeing that Wei Hong was not nervous at all, Li Zongren was very confused. Instead, he did not retreat, but wanted to ask clearly.

Wei Hong said confidently: "Sir, you don't have to worry about this matter, and don't leak the news of the convoy's robbery. I'll go to Mangshan in person later. The grey cloth of 100,000 taels of silver will definitely be brought back as much as possible. Don't worry."

After sending Li Zongren away, Wei Hong sat on a chair, took a sip of tea, and couldn't stop laughing. Two women, with an accent from other places, and had lived in the capital for a while. If it weren't for Yan Ruyu and Yaer, who could it be? This time, he must have wanted to go to Mangshan. Since Yan Ruyu asked him to go, then just go there. It was really ridiculous to invite him with such a big fantasy method.

Lei Chuhan heard that the convoy of Hongyuan Trading Company was robbed, and he was nervous and hurriedly said, "Brother Wei, do I need to stop my subordinates and go to Mangshan to find out the news?"

Wei Hong put down the teacup and waved his hand: "No need, I'll go there later."

"The other party must be ill-intentioned in his mind. Brother Wei went there in person. What should I do if there is any mistake?" Lei Chuhan said nervously.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Wei Hong was inconvenient to say something to Lei Chuhanming. After all, even Wei Hong's wife didn't know about Yan Ruyu. It was not because she was worried that Wan Niang or Lei Chuhan would spread the matter, but mainly because the fewer people knew about it, the better. After all, she couldn't get involved with the son of a traitor. If Comrade Li knew about it, Wei Hong would not be as simple as sitting on the bench.

After sitting in the lobby for a while, Wei Hong sent someone to pack up a room for Lei Chuhan and arranged for Lei Chuhan to stay. After settling down on Lei Chuhan, Wei Hong took Zhou Dali and rode his horse toward Mangshan. He traveled around the stars and the moon, and arrived at Mangshan at noon the next day. Just as Wei Hong and Zhou Dali were leading the horse and walking up the mountain along the wheel print, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came out of noon. When Wei Hong reacted, he saw a trembling feather arrow inserted at his feet.

"Not good! There is an ambush!" When Zhou Dali saw this arrow, he threw Wei Hong to the ground without saying a word and dragged Wei Hong to the ground. He held Wei Hong's head with one hand and put the other hand on the horse's back to prevent the horse from escaping. After a while, no arrows shot in, Zhou Dali plucked up the courage to stretch his head out of the horse's back and quietly looked up the mountain.

As a result, as soon as he raised his head, a feather arrow wiped Zhou Dali's scalp and shot it, which scared Zhou Dali. Cold sweat dripped along Wei Hong's face.
