An Chuang agreed, then looked at Bai Guo and said, "There's one more thing..."
Bai Guo handed the paper in his hand to Ge Yin behind him. Hearing this, his eyes fell on An Chuang again, "What?"
An Chuang paused, and his voice was deliberately softer, "The members of the caravan said that this time when they went to Jinlin Prefecture, they could clearly notice that the price of food there had increased, and there were still many merchants to buy from, even from Dong Zhang's house. Also, the team members paid close attention and discovered that these grains were transported to Shang Shuangzhou."
Bai Guo's eyes darkened, "Bie Xia has been in Lezhou recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back. Please ask the transport team members in the caravan to pay more attention. Even if there is a shortage of food in Shuangzhou, it is impossible to eat too much, so there will be more Pay attention to where this food goes."
It is unimaginable for a big grain owner like Zhang Dongjia to have enough grain, but even so, they still have to collect it when the price is high. The only thing they can think of is that when they sell it, the price is even higher.
But it's just one state. No matter how high the price is, other merchants will come to keep the price down. Moreover, with official rations, there will never be enough noise for their team members to notice that something is wrong.
What I'm afraid of is the Sha Kingdom that connects Shangshuangzhou...
Just as An Chuang agreed, he heard Bai Guo continue to ask: "How many more have not been checked?"
An Chuang replied very quickly: "It will be finished in five or six days."
Bai Guo nodded and said directly: "Tell me to go down and pack my things, and then go to Yanghe Prefecture after we finish processing here."
An Chuang responded quickly and retreated when he saw that Bai Guo didn't continue to speak.
At the door, an unexpected figure stood. He didn't even give him a look when he came out, but only he knew what kind of pressure he had been under since he entered this door.
An Chuang didn't care and left directly.
In mid-December, all stores were inspected, and by this time the number of people brought by Gingguo had dropped by nearly half.
The remaining people were led by Ruizhi to get on the boat and set off towards Yanghe Prefecture.
More than ten days later, Chang Ziming took the ninth prince Xuan Liangcai to Yining Prefecture. When he heard that Ging Guo had left, Xuan Liangcai was stunned on the spot. Chang Ziming saluted Xu Zhizhou politely and said, "Kang Le The princess is busy, and I understand."
Xuan Liangcai glanced at Chang Ziming blankly, then nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes..."
Xu Zhizhou's face turned black with anger, but he still held back his anger and said, "Isn't it difficult to investigate this matter if Princess Kangle is not here?"
Chang Ziming's kind and gentle demeanor did not change at all, "I'm not sure, I'm not sure. This investigation still needs someone familiar with it."
The person who investigated the case was the Minister of Dali Temple, but the Minister of Dali Temple took his people to handle the case immediately and did not come to see Xu Zhizhou.
Xu Zhizhou's face turned dark again, "Princess Kangle was involved in a serious case but she left at will. This..."
Chang Ziming Fanglan Jingti said, "The emperor has not issued an order restricting Princess Kangle's travel, so the lower officials dare not make any arbitrary decisions."
Xu Zhizhou couldn't get any advantage from Chang Ziming, so he turned to Xuan Liangcai and said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince..."
"Ah?" Xuan Liangcai's distracted eyes fell on Xu Zhizhou's face, "What did you say?"
Xu Zhizhou's face was as dark as ink.
Xuan Liangcai looked at Chang Ziming blankly, and Chang Ziming said calmly: "Master Xu is sending greetings to His Highness."
Xuan Liangcai nodded repeatedly, "Master Xu, there is no need to be so polite."
Xu Zhizhou's face darkened again and again.
At the beginning of January, after all the shops in Yanghe Prefecture were inspected, Bai Guo arrived at the last place with a waterway in Longning Prefecture and ordered An Chuang to lead the people in the caravan to conduct an inspection. Then he got on the carriage and took the secret guards and Deadpool along the dry road. He rushed towards Jinlin State.
At the end of January, above the court in Kyoto.
The clear voice of the minister of Dali Temple said to the superior: "The governor of Yining Prefecture neglected his duty, which led to the Yining Prefecture Tongpan and more than a dozen surrounding county magistrates to participate in this money theft case. Among them, the three county magistrates who have died were the earliest. They were related to businessmen, and they also came up with the idea of killing the boss of Yi to warn Princess Kangle. Magistrate Cao knew he was guilty but could not stop himself from proving his innocence and committed suicide by taking poison. Boss Zhang and
Several businessmen were involved. "
Xuan Xian's eyes were dark, "Severe punishment will not be spared."
All the officials looked sad in the crowd.
The emperor has said that he will be severely punished, so these dozen county magistrates cannot hold their positions, but where can they find so many people to fill the holes?
"Your Majesty." In the apparently quiet court, the Minister of Rites stepped forward and bowed, and then said, "What should Princess Kangle do?"
Xuanxian looked over and asked without showing any emotion or anger: "What do you think, Aiqing?"
The Minister of Rites paused for a moment and then said, "Princess Kangle handled this incident too arrogantly. I think she should be punished so as to warn future generations."
Xuanxian nodded, "We can't let others follow suit."
The Minister of Rites looked happy, but before he could speak, Xuan Xian continued: "According to my decree, it is inappropriate for Princess Kangle to kill three county magistrates privately..."
Below, the always gentle smile on Prince Gong's face became clearer.
"But the three county magistrates despised the imperial power and provoked Princess Kangle. Therefore, Princess Kangle was banned from entering the capital for one year as a punishment."
After Xuan Xian finished speaking, the court fell into silence again.
Prince Gong stood with a slightly stiff face, and the ordinary smile on his face could no longer be maintained.
King Dingxi was a little confused. What was the punishment for not being allowed to enter the capital?
He hasn't seen Princess Kangle this year? !
The expressions of countless people in the imperial court were slightly subtle.
How many months has Princess Kangle spent in Kyoto?
"I obey the decree." Chang Ziming, who had attended the morning court with the minister of Dali Temple, spoke unhurriedly and bowed gracefully and slowly.
Xuan Yuansi followed and saluted, "Father is wise!"
"..."
"Your Majesty is wise!" None of the courtiers agreed for a moment.
It has been found out that the magistrate neglected his duties first, the judge abused his power for personal gain, and the county magistrate sought wealth and killed him. It doesn't matter whether Kangle County is punished or not.
After all...if this matter happened to the little princess, no one would dare to bring it up.
Contempting the imperial power and provoking the imperial power are enough to punish the nine clans.
In early February, Ging Guo and others arrived in Jinlin Prefecture.
Zhizhou got the news in advance and went out of the city to greet him. When he saw Bai Guo's carriage approaching, he saluted and said, "I have seen the princess."
Ging Guo did not get off the carriage, but nodded.
"Princess Kangle, the emperor has ordered you to wait here for the imperial edict..." Zhizhou looked at Bai Guo with some embarrassment.
Ging Guo continued to nod with a calm expression.
The governor immediately stood up and said, "Xiaguan's residence has been packed out. Princess Kangle is coming with Xiaguan."
Bai Guo didn't refuse, and Ge Yin lowered the car curtain.
Saying that Bai Guo is waiting for the imperial edict means that Bai Guo is really asking Bai Guo to wait for the imperial edict. There is never any restriction on Bai Guo's daily entry and exit from the Zhizhou.
It took Baiguo a few days to confirm that the price of food in Jinlin Prefecture had indeed been much higher some time ago, but the officials here responded quickly and quickly released official food to level the price, and arrested several people led by Zhang Dong's family. This stopped them from stealing and reselling food in large quantities.
An Chuang sent the news of the caravan to Bai Guoshou, "The grain of Zhang Dong's family and others was sold to Shang Shuangzhou, but it is obviously very close to Sha Kingdom. The prefect of Shang Shuangzhou just conducted an inventory a few days ago. Several families, none of them had so much grain at all. Under interrogation, they said that someone gave them money to collect it. I am afraid that the grain has now entered the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
Bai Guo looked at the large amount of food recorded on it, and his heart sank, "Tell Ansuke to send the news to the emperor."
An Xiangma immediately accepted the order and retreated.
The prefects and magistrates of Shuangzhou and the magistrates and magistrates of Jinlin Prefecture will definitely report this matter back to Kyoto, but Ginguo's side will definitely be the fastest to deliver it to the emperor.
Bai Guo opened the window and was stunned when he saw the red lantern hanging high outside, and then reacted.
Come on, "another year."
Yu Lan poured a cup of hot tea for Ging Guo and said, "This year's New Year is a bit late, but it just makes the princess have a good New Year here."
Ging Guo took the tea cup and nodded in agreement.
If they had been on the road a few days earlier, they didn't expect that they could spend the New Year in peace and contentment while waiting for the imperial edict.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, will the princess have dinner with the prefect's women?" Yu Lan pressed the blanket on Ging Guo's legs.
When they first entered the mansion, several female family members came out and knelt down to worship. Later, Bai Guo was busy collecting information outside, so it was not easy for these female family members to come and disturb them, but tomorrow is New Year's Eve...
Ging Guo didn't respond and handed the half-used tea cup back to Magnolia. A pair of fox eyes fell on the newly fallen snow outside, and the deep affection in his eyes seemed to be real.
"No." Bai Guo looked at the snow that fell to the ground but turned into water in an instant, then turned to look at Yulan and said, "Tomorrow we will spend New Year's Eve at Biexia's mansion."
Yu Lan paused for a moment looking at the deep affection in Bai Guo's eyes, then responded, turned around and left the door to bring the news to An Chuang.
An Chuang arranged for someone to go to the mansion to spread the news and told them to prepare in advance.
The next day, Bai Guo went directly to Bie Xia's mansion on the pretext that he needed to deal with something, and everyone accompanying him followed him.
On New Year's Eve, the servants below prepared a banquet for everyone brought by Bai Guo. Bai Guo did not hesitate and went back to the yard next to him. Chinese website
Ansuke and Twelve arranged for people to take turns waiting, and then sat down to eat with the others.
Fu Changxi sat next to Twelve and was moved to tears looking at the table full of food.
Think about what she has been living all these years!
Ansuke and the secret guards he led sat at the same table. He glanced around to see that there was no Pang Yang or Anchuang around, and then he directly picked up the wine jar and filled it. The people next to him saw Ansuke's actions and followed suit. , the atmosphere instantly rose when the big bowls collided.
Compared with the bustle on the secret guard side, Deadpool's side was deserted, as if he was eating alone, and there was no movement the whole time.
He helped Changxi look around and stood up without making any movement.
"Where to go?" Twelve put down his chopsticks and looked at Fu Changxi.
Fu Changxi showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "I want to go there to eat."
She never slept so quietly.
Twelve's eyes fell on Ansuke, who was leading the crowd at another table to have a cup of wine, and then he stood up and said, "I'll come with you."
Fu Changxi wanted to cry even more.
Although it was Dadong Yi who asked him to look at her, was he looking too closely?
