Ji Tae is terrible.
It has only been two days since Li Chenan moved to Meiyuan, and he feels like he has been suffering for two years!
Fortunately, tomorrow will be September 16th, and this puppy will finally set off to Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress bandits!
Ji Tai cried with joy after receiving the news from Ning Zhixing. If Li Chenan didn't leave, he was worried that he wouldn't survive the winter.
His joyful mood did not last long, but the spies of the Fish and Dragon Society sent him another piece of bad news——
Huo family!
The Huo family asked the Shen family of Guangling City to go to Jiangnan to buy autumn grain. Originally, everything went well, and more than half of the autumn grain in Jiangnan was pocketed by the girl named Shen Qiaodie of the Shen family.
The Huo family and Shen family invested a lot of money. According to the original plan, the food should have been transported directly to Shuangjiao Lake by water.
But I never expected that hundreds of water boats would be robbed by a group of water bandits at Linfengdu!
When did such a powerful group of water bandits appear on the Yuguangguang Canal?
The spy also said that after the water bandits robbed all the boats, they actually sailed towards the exit of the Yuguangdao Canal... That's the Yangtze River!
Where did they take so much food?
Nothing follows.
Missing!
"From Linfengdu to the Yangtze River Estuary, you must pass through Linshui Port where Guangling Navy is located!"
Ji Tai looked at the pale-faced Huo Xi, the head of the Huo family, and said:
"Now, the Admiral of Guangling Navy is Zhongli Qiuyang of Zhongli Mansion in Guangling!"
"If Zhongli Qiuyang sees so many water boats, he will definitely intercept and search them!"
"If he saw so much food...how could he let those water bandits transport the food away?"
"He will definitely eat that batch of food because everyone is short of food!"
"So, behind this matter, I'm afraid it was planned by Guangling Zhongli Mansion...Fan Taohua,"
Jitai took a deep breath, "I have been waiting for her to leave Kyoto with everyone in Dingguo Houfu. I even hinted to her that she will be the king of Shuzhou."
"She... Master Huo, not only did she suffer heavy losses, she also disrupted my plan!"
Huo Xi swallowed his saliva, his old eyes were full of sorrow, anger and unwillingness. He bowed his hands and said, "Xiangye, the news from the Shen family is that those robbers seem to be the same ones that Li Chenan used to snare when he was the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society. It’s related to those Jianghu desperadoes!”
Ji Tai was surprised, how could this nonsense be related to Li Chenan?
"Is the news reliable?"
"Miss Shen Qiaodie, Shen family, is on her way to Kyoto. According to the time, she should arrive in the next two days!"
"She knows the most about this Jiangnan autumn grain purchase. She was originally on one of the cannons. When she heard that the fleet was robbed at Linfengdu, she happened to go ashore to escape the disaster. She also heard that Some news."
"Those bandits were recruited by one of his men named Ye Po when Li Chenan left Kyoto!"
"And the purpose of recruiting these people from the beginning has been to keep an eye on this batch of food!"
"In addition, when purchasing autumn grain, Li Chenan also asked Cai Zhengyao, another Guangling grain merchant, to travel to various places in the south of the Yangtze River."
"This guy raised the price of grain in Jiangnan by as much as 20%, but in the end he didn't buy even a single grain!"
"Master Xiang,"
Huo Xi bowed again and said through gritted teeth: "Li Chenan, this little thief, has never had good intentions from the beginning. He wants to bring down my Huo family and Shen family in one fell swoop!"
"To be honest with you, the Prime Minister, the Shen family spent everything they had on this matter. When the head of the Shen family, Shen Qianshan, heard the bad news... he hanged himself. Fortunately, he was discovered early. Although he saved one life,... Bedridden."
"And my Huo family has also suffered heavy losses, so much so that the Huo family's winery has stopped working because there is no more food to make wine. Now in Guangling City, Li Chenan's Taohua Brewing family is the only one!"
"I beg the Prime Minister to kill Li Chenan!"
"This little thief has done all kinds of bad things, and if he doesn't die, many people will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
Ji Tai sniffed the smell of smoke in the air. He actually wanted to kill Li Chenan more than anyone else.
"Don't worry, that little thief won't live long."
"I asked your son Huo Chuanming to do this, and now there is such a big mistake... Master Huo, if you want wealth, of course you have to pay something!"
"Wait a minute. Basically, after surviving this winter, the flowers will bloom next spring. By then, you will have gained much more than you have lost!"
This is what Huo Xi was waiting for.
Because it was the Shen family that really suffered huge losses.
He quickly bowed again: "Thank you, Prime Minister. I'll take my leave!"
"Hmm...wait a minute, what happened to your grandson Huo Shufan and the Sixth Princess?"
"Back to the Prime Minister, Concubine Li sent a message a few days ago, saying that the Prince Consort's Palace is gone, so wait a moment."
"Oh...just go ahead."
Huo Xi resigned and left, and Ji Tai frowned slightly. Where should the loss of Jiangnan's autumn grain be made up for?
The Shen family really hated Li Chenan.
So after Li Chenan died in Shuangjiao Mountain, I went to Dali Temple again to interrogate Li Chenan's case of impersonating the emperor's eldest son. Li Chenan's ex-fiancée Shen Qiaodie testified, and the boxer from Guangling City testified... Li Chenan is dead. Will be cast aside by thousands of people!
Shi Xian, Shi Ni Niang’s personal fairy!
To hell with me!
Supervision Department, you are bluffing. Once Li Chenan's fake face is revealed, I will demolish the shabby courtyard of the Supervision Department!
Just when Ji Tai was angry in his heart, Kang Shiji, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, walked in hurriedly.
He bowed and whispered: "Master, just now, the sixth young master of the Luo family sent news that people from the Jingzhao Mansion arrested Mr. Zhao Wei Zhao, who is in charge of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War!"
Ji Tai was shocked, "How can Jingzhao Mansion have the right to arrest the ministers of the DPRK and China?"
"Back to the master, the Sixth Young Master said that what Jingzhao Mansion got was a document from the Ministry of Punishment!"
"Ministry of Punishment? Yu Hongtu, Minister of Punishment?"
"...It should be!"
Ji Tai's eyes slowly narrowed, and he smelled a smell that was different from the smell of smoke.
"It seems that among the six ministers, except for one Li Wenhou, this Yu Hongtu is also duplicitous towards me!"
"good very good!"
"What are the crimes they listed for Zhao Wei?"
"Returning to the master, I said that Mr. Zhao is suspected of colluding with the enemy... the swords, guns and arrows in the Ordnance Department appeared in the hands of the water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake, so they have to be handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation!"
"The sixth young master of the Luo family also said something."
"What did he say?"
"Yin Xiangdong of Jingzhao Mansion went to the Supervision Department today and was invited by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ji Tai was shocked, "Is that fat pig going to use this wind to become a monster?"
"Master Prime Minister, the prince came to the next door today!"
Ji Tai suddenly understood, "With the help of the prince, starting from the Ministry of War... Li Chen'an, I still underestimated you!"
"Fortunately, you are about to die, otherwise, I really would have met a once-in-a-lifetime opponent!"
"Go and call Ji Ling. Li Chen'an, a drunkard, doesn't care about drinking. His purpose in interrogating Zhao Sui is Ji Ling. Ultimately, he wants to target me! I have something to say to Ji Ling."
