Seeing that Lin Bai seemed to have no patience, Liu Yunpeng no longer dared to neglect, and said quickly: "Back to Your Highness, your Majesty... I have discovered that the eldest prince and Zhu Kang may not only cooperate in trafficking Tianzhu hemp."
What do you mean?
Is it more than just trafficking Tianzhu hemp? What else?
Did Zhu Tong have a hand in Zhu Kang's rebellion?
as expected!
Liu Yunpeng continued: "I'm not sure about the specific details. I just found some clues. There may be a greater connection between the two. There is the shadow of the eldest prince behind Lotus Island."
Lin Bai asked: "Why do you say that?"
Liu Yunpeng said: "Because the navy ships on Lianhua Island are likely to come from Longhu Shipyard."
Longfor Shipyard?
The talented man had no time to care about this, and he couldn't help but have a puzzled look on his face.
Liu Yunpeng explained: "Back to Your Highness, Longhu Shipyard is located in Guangdong and Guangxi, not far from the southwest. It can build all kinds of ships, mostly large warships. However, in recent years, because the court has not been having a good time, there is almost no funding from it. Its management is also relatively loose.”
"Longhu Shipyard will undertake some merchant ships, building ships, etc. to maintain operations."
"The imperial court also acquiesced."
"But warships are absolutely prohibited. They are not allowed to be built without the order of the imperial court. However, according to the clues that Xianguan has found so far, the warships of the Lianhua Island Navy Camp are likely to come from the Longhu Shipyard."
"And it has a great connection with the eldest prince."
Good guy!
What does Zhu Tong want to do by building warships for Lianhua Island?
Just to make a profit?
This shouldn't be the case! Trafficking in Tianzhu hemp is already profitable enough. Why would a prince who has been guarding the southwest for many years need so much money?
And taking such a big risk.
Could it be that this guy knew that it was difficult to gain the approval of the courtiers as an illegitimate son, so he had other plans?
Not to mention, it is really possible. It is too difficult for an illegitimate son to ascend to a high position, so he knows that it is impossible, so he colludes with Zhu Kanghang?
The little goblin couldn't help but ask: "Is there any conclusive evidence?"
Liu Yunpeng said: "Back to Madam, they act secretly and there is no conclusive evidence yet. If I can give you some time, I believe they can find it."
While showing loyalty, he also threw out temptations.
Needless to say, if it were an ordinary prince, he would definitely hope to find out the follow-up.
Unfortunately, Liu Yunpeng didn't notice any fluctuation in Lin Bai's face, as if all this could not arouse the great talent's interest at all, which made him very depressed.
I was full of confidence at first, but now I am all heart and soul.
Lin Bai asked again: "Is there any more?"
Liu Yunpeng's expression froze. It was such an important secret, how could it still be there?
However, he did not dare to neglect. He thought about it carefully and said, "There is one more thing. There may have been some hidden dangers before, but it is no longer important now."
"That is the Sizhou Tian family. They had a very close relationship with Zhu Zhen before."
"According to the information I have learned, once His Highness really rebels before, Sizhou Tian family may unite with Jiang Hailiu to help Zhu Zhen quell the chaos."
"But that was before. After Jiang Hailiu was rectified by His Highness, it became impossible. The Sizhou Tian clan only looked at Zhu Zhen's future, but His Highness built Southwest into what it is today and defeated Dali in three battles. With my current status, it’s naturally too late to curry favor.”
I see!
Lin Bai nodded subconsciously.
Sizhou Tian's performance before was somewhat unexpected, but he was not surprised either.
The imperial court had a headache with these chieftains. These chieftains were just trying to protect themselves from the imperial court.
As Liu Yunpeng said, now that Zhu Zhen has become a street rat, these chieftains can only support him.
"Your Highness, there really are none."
Liu Yunpeng felt Lin Bai's gaze and almost cried.
The little things he knew had been fiddled with, and there was no trump card left.
Lin Bai smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Kuang Zhiwei and said, "What about you?"
When Kuang Zhiwei heard this, he quickly had a large box brought in. When he opened it, he saw that there was a box of banknotes inside.
The number is beyond imagination.
Even if the talented man is not short of money, his eyes can't help but stare when he sees so many banknotes.
Kuang Zhiwei said: "Back to Your Highness, this is the income I got from handling business for Your Highness during this period. I only kept some as wages for the workers below, and the rest is all here."
The little goblin looked at her husband in surprise, as if asking: What kind of business is this? So profitable? Robbery?
Lin Bai couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Although he knows that trafficking Tianzhu hemp makes money, is this too much?
Too exaggerated?
Kuang Zhiwei explained: "Most of them were looted from Jiang Hailiu. After Jiang Hailiu was rectified by His Highness, with the help of his brother-in-law, I took the opportunity to take over his channels and accidentally discovered a warehouse where he stored silver coins. …”
Lin Bai:......
These two guys are really stubborn! Black eats black!
If he is also guilty, then all these silver coins will belong to these two goods.
Now that he is back, do these two guys want to use this to get a certificate of surrender and completely surrender to him?
never mind! For the sake of sending this information, I, the prince, will absolve you of your sins! It has absolutely nothing to do with these banknotes.
The talented man made up his mind and said: "I am very pleased that you can take the initiative to confess and submit these dirty silver. If Yan Xiang finds out, I will intercede on your behalf."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The two were overjoyed.
What are you asking for mercy? Your Majesty is your father-in-law, and your appearance is your father-in-law. That is not your decision.
Of course, we still have to talk about the situation. The two of them knew it well and were excited in their hearts. This surrender was considered a success.
Liu Yunpeng added: "It's been a tiring journey, would your Highness and the two ladies want to go to Huaizhou to take a break? Your Majesty has prepared some food and drinks..."
"No need!"
Lin Bai said, "I am in a hurry to go to Guinan, so I won't delay."
Liu Yunpeng was a little disappointed, but the next moment he was overjoyed, because Lin Bai said again: "Continue to keep an eye on Longhu Shipyard and find out all the relevant personnel. When I turn around, I may make a detour."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness."
"Um!"
Lin Bai nodded, "Go!"
After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't do that business. There are many good things in the southwest, such as canned food, Lao Gan Ma, instant noodles, etc. You can still make a lot of money by trafficking these to Dali Wanxiang Country." Full."
"ah?"
Kuang Zhiwei looked a little reluctant.
I have just become addicted, and with a big backer behind me, trafficking in Tianzhu hemp feels completely different, and I am very confident.
Okay, why aren't you allowed to do it?
Have you made enough money to go ashore?
Right! My master is the one who wants to be the crown prince, so no one can take advantage of him.
The two of them understood each other and stepped back, full of excitement.
However, they didn't know that the talented man was even more excited than them. Looking at the large box full of banknotes, he almost cried out.
The little fairy, a little rich woman, couldn't help but be curious and wanted to count them.
Chasing the moon is almost the same.
Only Wu Qiaojun showed no reaction.
