After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 117 Does Prime Minister Fang Know?

Qu Chu recounted everything he heard from Jiaorui today.

Ning Youbei sighed:
"I didn't expect that the officials in Jianghuai and Huaihe were not under the control of the emperor, and Duke Huai had already colluded with them."

Thinking of the chaos in Jianghuai, Qu Chu felt a little sympathetic to the emperor.

Although he is the emperor, the richest Jianghuai land is not in his hands.

Qu Chu asked:

"The money mentioned by Governor Jianghuai and Fang Haichang, do you think it is the salt tax revenue that has been lost in the past few years?"

Ning Youbei nodded, "Very likely."

He had previously suspected that Fang Haichang hid the money for the third prince, but he didn't expect it to be for a certain prince.

"You said that if Fang Haichang really gave the hidden salt tax revenue to a certain prince, what is he trying to do?"

Qu Chu couldn't figure it out.

If the Fang family wants to support a certain prince, they can just support the third prince directly, why should they go far away?

This is also what Ning Youbei couldn't figure out.

"Ah Chu, who do you think this prince is? Does Prime Minister Fang know that Fang Haichang gave him the salt tax money?"

Qu Chu thought for a while:
"I think it is unlikely that it is Duke Huai.

If it was Prince Huai, there was absolutely no need for him to ask Governor Jianghuai to ask for him. It would be more convenient for him to meet Fang Haichang than Governor Jianghuai to meet Fang Haichang. Why don't he just ask?Why bother! "

Both the Prince Huai Mansion and the Jianghuai Salt Transport Office are in the center of Huai City, while the Jianghuai Governor's Mansion is located in the north of Huai City.

Ning Youbei also felt that the possibility of Duke Huai was unlikely.

"Ah Chu, do you think it is the King of Jing or the King of Jianghuai that controls the Jianghuai area?"

Qu Chu didn't answer right away, but reorganized the relationship between these characters in his mind.

"If you look at the situation on the surface, it seems that Jiangcheng King is more likely, because Jiangcheng King and Huai Wang are the most closely related to the governor of Jianghuai.

Since it wasn't King Huai, it was most likely King Jiangcheng.

But this is only on the surface, and there is no substantive evidence.

And I think King Jing is also possible.

He is very resourceful, and Sui Lijing has [-] troops on the east side of Jianghuai. It is not impossible for him to control the Jianghuai area.

But these are just speculations, and there is no substantive evidence. "

Ning You Beitou is about to grow up.

He had thought about what Qu Chu said a long time ago, and he asked Qu Chu again, just to prove whether his thoughts were reasonable?

But as Qu Chu said, everything is just speculation without any evidence.

……

"As for Prime Minister Fang..."

Qu Chu took the initiative to speak.

"As the prime minister, all the important affairs of the court will go through his hands. In the past few years, there has been a total loss of several million taels of salt and tax money. It is impossible for him not to ask.

Therefore, Prime Minister Fang must know the whereabouts of the salt tax money.

It's just that since Prime Minister Fang knew why he didn't stop it, I can't figure it out. "

Ning Youbei had a whim:
"Do you think that the whole Fang family's life was controlled by this prince, so Prime Minister Fang had to bow his head to him?"

Qu Chu didn't answer.

This possibility is not impossible, but what method can the other party use to control the lives of the entire Fang family?

……

The discussion of facts came to an end here, and Ning Youbei called Qu Chu to bed again.

Today, Qu Chu is not so straightforward.

"Go to bed first, I still have to read for a while."

Ning Youbei looked at Qu Chu with his head sideways for a while, but didn't expose her, and obediently lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Since the two kissed a few days ago, Qu Chu has been avoiding him.Ning Youbei didn't want to push Qu Chu too hard, so as not to scare her away.

However, does this mean that Qu Chu also cares about him a little bit, otherwise, with Qu Chu's personality, he would never avoid him.

Ning Youbei closed his eyes and thought wildly.

After a while, when Ning Youbei was about to fall asleep, he felt someone lying gently beside him.

Ning Youbei felt sweet in his heart, and without opening his eyes, he stretched out his hand indiscriminately, and muttered: "Ah Chu..."

Qu Chu looked at the hand that happened to be on his chest. Did Ning Youbei do this unintentionally or on purpose?
But looking at Ning Youbei's peaceful face, Qu Chu finally didn't wake him up, but gently took Ning Youbei's hand away, turned his back to Ning Youbei, and lay down beside him.

Ning Youbei opened his eyes, and gently put his hand on Qu Chu's waist.

This time, Qu Chu didn't take his hand away.

……

蓬洲
Qu Chu's affairs finally made some progress, but Su Yingxue was facing a crisis here.

Since the gambler was poisoned to death, two more people died in the Pengzhou stronghold.

They were all poisoned to death.

It was the kind of poison made from "fresh rotten grass" that made people unable to find out the cause of death.

It is very likely that it is the same person or wave of people who strike.

Now, the Pengzhou stronghold is not only panicked, but also resigned unanimously.

No way, no matter how good the treatment is, you must first save your life.

Su Yingxue was furious.

It is a great insult to Su Yingxue for her ancestors who play poison to be poisoned in front of her eyes but not be able to catch the person who poisoned her.

She asked the person in charge to put up a sign of suspension of business at the base, and everyone took a break first.

……

This evening, Haishi.

Su Yingxue was lying on the bed thinking about what happened recently, and Aunt Hong was sleeping in the room outside her.

Su Yingxue put all the things together to see if she could find any clues.

At this moment, there were two loud noises from the outer room, followed by Aunt Hong's scream of "ah".

Before Su Yingxue could make any moves, she was restrained and unable to move.

Then, Su Yingxue was grabbed and held under her arm, and brought out of the room.

……

Su Yingxue never thought that she would be kidnapped one day.

She thought that being caught in a trap by the former leader of the Tuo Tuo Department a few years ago would be the only failure in her life, but she didn't expect it to be worse this time.

That time at least a trap was set to catch her, but this time, she was easily carried by someone under his arm and ran away.

Yes, it is galloping.

The person who caught her was not riding a horse, but he was running faster than riding a horse.

Su Yingxue was clamped horizontally, her head was lower than her body, and the bitter water in her stomach flowed out at such a fast speed.

After a stick of incense, the man carried Su Yingxue into a house.

He stopped running and said:
"I brought you the person you want. From now on, I will be clear with you, and you will never ask anyone to look for me again."

After finishing speaking, he threw Su Yingxue to the ground, and then walked away.

……

From the beginning to the end, Su Yingxue didn't see what the person abducting her looked like, but if she could easily restrain Aunt Hong, her martial arts must be unfathomable.

It's not something they can imagine.

After all, Qu Chu couldn't beat Aunt Hong even with a dark iron knife.

Su Yingxue stood up slowly and looked around.

This is a hall, with a man sitting on a chair in the middle, and a masked man standing beside him.
