The little girl of the general's house

Chapter 616

Xie Hejiang was still pressing on Li Yujiao's body, looking at her with obsidian-like eyes: "Aren't I afraid that you will suffer?"

Li Yujiao thumped his chest angrily: "Who told you that I can't bear it?"

"Oh, that's hunger and thirst."

Li Yujiao gritted her teeth: "Which eye did you see?"

Xie Hejiang laughed in a deep voice: "Oh, you are getting angry from embarrassment."

"Thank you, He, Jiang!"

According to the understanding of Prince Qi Zhan and the judgment of the situation at that time.

Xie Hejiang concluded that the son might have taken the waterway in desperation in order to cover his tracks.

Then return to the Qihe Mansion Wharf along the site of the incident, and then follow the river all the way down. This area is the main destination of his search this time.

It's just that all the way to the south, there is a big town of Rebu along the river, and it is very difficult to find someone.

Fortunately, someone is leading the way for them.

Those are the people from the government, obviously they are also looking for the prince, there are many of them, and they can easily enter every house to search, but seeing that they often return in frustration, they know that they must have not found the prince.

After passing through these lively small towns along the river, further south, it will be desolate.

The local people call that area Taixi, and the Qi River flows through Taixi and then enters the sea.

There is a salt warehouse in Taixi, and Daqi has opened a salt farm here since the founding of the country. The Taixi salt warehouse soon became the main production area of ​​sea salt in Daqi, and it has been followed for hundreds of years.

It’s just that the Taixi salt warehouse is located in a remote place in the cape. Most of the kitchen residents who cook salt are criminals and refugees who were sent here. The naturalized kitchen residents are not allowed to move arbitrarily or engage in other industries. If you borrow, you are not allowed to take the imperial examination.

Therefore, in the eyes of the local people, the Taixi Salt Field is a dirty place for low-class people to do coolies.

"Brother Xie, no one has found traces of Shizi along the way, and no one has heard anyone fished from the shore. Do you think Shizi will end up in that Taixi salt warehouse?"

Xie Hejiang held his hands behind his back and stood on the bank watching the surging river flow south: "Do you know what else they have done besides embezzling disaster relief money?"

Li Yujiao shook her head: "I don't know about these official affairs, and I have no way of understanding them."

Xie Hejiang breathed a sigh of relief: "There is also the sale of private salt to make huge profits from it."

Li Yujiao thought for a while: "Then according to what you said, the prince planned to come to the salt warehouse?"

"It should be like this."

"Then let's go to the Taixi salt warehouse."

*
It's winter, and the seaside is very cold.

Li Yujiao tightened the padded jacket on her body, and said, "The further south you go, the less you see the officials. Do they think the conditions here are difficult so they don't come here? That's just convenient for us."

"Not really."

"why?"

"There are salt officials in the salt warehouse, and there are also decoction officials in the salt farm. It's not that there are no officials at all. Maybe they are also looking for them."

Hearing this, Li Yujiao glanced at the village in front of her, and said, "Look, there are several villages ahead, unlike the big towns before, we went door to door to look for them, if we still can't find the prince here, then... ..."

"Just follow me, don't worry." Xie Hejiang held Li Yujiao's hand tightly, "This shouldn't be something you should worry about."

Li Yujiao forced a smile: "At least I have some friendship with the prince, and if something happens to the prince, I'm afraid that you will be involved, so how can you not worry?"

　good night everyone see you tomorrow
