The person was brought in, and before Zhao Jue could ask questions, he knelt down tremblingly: "Returning to the master, the shopkeeper of the fur shop outside told me that the furs that just came in from outside the pass today... unexpectedly... all of them were..." wet!"
It was originally scheduled to be delivered today, but now that the leather is all wet, it will definitely not be delivered.
This is much greater than the loss caused by the four major restaurants not being able to get fresh meat and vegetables. This is a business worth tens of thousands of taels. Although it hasn't rained or snowed recently, it has been cloudy from time to time, and the winter sun is not warm enough. It is not easy to completely dry the leather. Unless you sell the wet leather at a discount, you will probably lose it!
Zhao Jue was so angry that his heart was clogged. There was no fresh meat and vegetables available in the four restaurants. This was not right at all. He raised Zhuangzi, and the fresh meat and vegetables he used to buy were from sellers he had cooperated with for a long time. It made no sense that everything would go into trouble as soon as something went wrong. of. Another one's skin was all wet for no apparent reason. It was obvious that someone had taken action against him.
who? Prince! It must be the prince!
This bastard won't give up until he is forced to death?
Zhao Jue turned his head and ordered angrily: "Go and ask Mr. Xiao to come over!"
Zhao Jue explained the matter in a few words and asked Mr. Xiao: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Mr. Xiao was a middle-aged scribe with a goatee. After hearing this, he was silent for a long time. Then he stroked his goatee and shook his head and said, "From what I can see, this is not something the prince did."
"Not him? Who else could it be?" Zhao Jue didn't believe it. Who would dare to offend him like this? Among his brothers, who has the courage?
Mr. Xiao said: "The person who assassinated the prince must indeed be the prince. But if he misses the hit, even if he wants to deal with you again, he will wait and choose another good time. Moreover, a person who wants to kill you How can a person just do this kind of thing? This is not in line with the prince's behavior."
Zhao Jue thought about it calmly and felt that this was indeed the case.
Not only did this not seem like the prince's handiwork, but the fact that the woman was kidnapped also didn't look like the prince's doing.
The prince was afraid of his military achievements and wanted to kill him at all costs. How could he be so roundabout.
It's not the prince... could it be Zhao Ting?
Impossible. This guy has only done some business since he left the palace and opened the government. He has not received any real powerful posts, and has no useful people around him. He has not made good friends with any ministers in the court. He has the courage, but he doesn’t have the ability!
Mr. Xiao said: "Your Majesty, as I see it, let's resolve these matters now. Prince, if you let your attitude slip before entering the palace, whether you are the Emperor or the Queen, you will definitely hit the Prince. Even if we can't do it in a short time, How about the prince, but again and again, this impression is left, prince, just wait. Finally, you should think about it, have you seriously offended anyone recently? "
It is true that you have offended someone, but there is no such thing as offending someone severely. It is just a joke on a woman. Can Zhao Ting really remember it in his heart?
Thinking of the missing Tang Yuyao, Zhao Jue had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and said casually: "My temper has been the same for ten years. What I am now is what I was before. If I want to offend him, then I will offend Zhao Ting." , but he doesn’t have the guts or ability, right?”
Mr. Xiao frowned and said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate people. Is it him? Just send someone to keep an eye on him and Prince An's Mansion for two days."

Not long after breakfast, Little Yunduo came.
Still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, she entered the courtyard and ran towards the main room.
Tang Yuyao saw her and rushed out to greet her: "Xiao Yunduo, you...how did you get here?"
Xiao Yunduo looked up and down nervously at Tang Yuyao first. Seeing that she didn't look like she was being bullied, she took the initiative to hold her hand and said, "I came from Prince An's Mansion. Uncle Qin ordered a carriage to take me there." .”
Pulling Xiao Yunduo to sit down, Tang Yuyao said nervously and guiltily: "Have you had breakfast? Did you sleep in Prince An's Mansion last night? Are you scared alone?"
Xiao Yunduo shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid after eating. Someone is with me."
Tang Yuyao sighed, how could she not be afraid? Bad things had happened to her before, and yesterday she was taken to the unfamiliar Prince An's Mansion. But what's the use of asking? No matter how scared Xiao Yunduo was, there was nothing she could do. Maybe...she can try to beg Zhao Ting tonight?
If she really begs him, he will agree!
Qian and Lan Xiang had already gone down, leaving space for the two sisters to talk alone. Seeing that Tang Yuyao was distracted, Xiao Yunduo gently tugged on her sleeve: "Sister, that Prince An didn't bully you last night, did he? ? Are you afraid of being here alone? "
Tang Yuyao shook her head gently: "Sister is not afraid and has not been bullied."
Xiao Yunduo met her gaze and suddenly said: "Sister, why did you leave King An before?"
When others asked, she could not answer or lie, but Xiao Yunduo could not do the same when asked. However, Tang Yuyao was afraid of scaring Xiao Yunduo, so she did not dare to tell what happened in her previous life. After thinking about it, she said: "He is getting married. The princess is the daughter of Mr. Lu, the minister of the Ministry of War. When the princess comes in, someone with my status will also There was only death. I left to survive."
"Why?" Xiao Yunduo didn't understand. "There are many men with three wives and four concubines. As long as Prince An protects you, it will not be easy for the princess to kill you."
The key is that he doesn't know how to protect you.
Not only would he not protect her, he would also take the initiative to kill her for Lu Qinghe.
This was a fact that she had experienced in her previous life, but now that she was asked about it by Xiao Yunduo, Tang Yuyao felt a little relaxed in her heart.
In this life, since she was left by Zhao Ting, it can be said that she has never been sincere, and she even did things to make him angry without saying goodbye, but he did not kill her. Not only did he not kill her, he didn't even do anything too extreme to her. She didn't sleep for a long time last night because she kept feeling how hard he held her, fearing that she would disappear.
Is there any misunderstanding?
But there could be no misunderstanding. It was he who said she was a filth, and it was he who drove her away.
And Chen An... Chen An has been unfriendly to her in her two lives. She was driven away in her previous life, and Chen An also laughed at her severely.
Wasn't Zhao Ting's original intention to kill her?
But if it wasn't Zhao Ting's intention, where did Chen An get such courage?
It doesn't make sense at all.
There was suspicion in her heart, and it was such an important matter. Even if it happened in her previous life, Tang Yuyao wanted to find out. It's just that as a woman, she is trapped in this other courtyard, so it is absolutely impossible for her to inquire from outsiders. In this family, Qian Lanxiang definitely doesn't know about it, so if you really want to know, you can only start with Zhao Ting and Chen An.
Tang Yuyao was looking forward to Zhao Ting's return today, but he didn't come back until the carriage from Prince An came to pick up Xiao Yunduo.
He didn't come, so Tang Yuyao could only send Xiao Yunduo to the carriage. Fortunately, Xiao Yunduo was not reluctant to go.
"Sister, I'll come back tomorrow." Xiao Yunduo said after getting into the carriage and sitting down.
Tang Yuyao nodded and agreed.
But Xiao Yunduo suddenly stood up and rushed over, leaned into Tang Yuyao's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, do you like Prince An?"
Tang Yuyao was startled when she heard this question.
Xiao Yunduo misunderstood, she said: "Sister, since you like King An, don't think too much, or you can ask him directly if you are in danger in the future, will he protect you? I think, He likes you. When you escaped and was caught, not only did he not beat you and imprison you, but he was also so kind to me. He can't get anything from you, so I think he likes you."
Even Xiao Yunduo said so.
Could it be that she is obsessed with authority? But the previous life... no, not the previous life, didn't she also feel that there was something wrong with the previous life?
After rubbing Xiao Yunduo's hair, Tang Yuyao said: "Okay, I understand. Don't worry about this. Go back first and don't be bullied. If someone bullies you, tell me when you come tomorrow."
Little Yunduo nodded obediently.
After sending Xiao Yunduo away, Qian stood aside and said, "Master Tang, you see, even Miss Tang can understand it clearly."
Tang Yuyao didn't answer. After returning to the house, she asked Qian: "Master, did you tell me when you will come today?"
Qian's face was filled with joy and she said happily: "I didn't say anything, but as soon as the work is done, the master will definitely come over as soon as possible!"
