Chapter 136

Jiangzhou, Ye Mansion.

Ye Muxi sat on the soft couch, flipping through a volume of military books, Wan Qiu reported:

"Miss, this servant has found out. Prince Rui was originally going to the nine prefectures to provide disaster relief. There were about a dozen cities in the nine prefectures that suffered from floods. The imperial court sent Prince Rui as the patrol envoy of the nine prefectures to preside over the disaster relief, passing through the south of the Yangtze River. Going to Jiangzhou is a detour, not the fastest way to Jiujun."

Nine Commanderies and Jiangnan are next to each other, and it is a province in the south of Jiangnan.

Disaster relief?

Ye Muxi roughly matched the impression in his memory.At this time in the previous life, Huangfu Sheng was indeed doing disaster relief in the Nine Counties, and he always rushed to do things like this to gain fame, otherwise why would everyone call him a wise king.

In fact, Ye Muxi knew him very well. In his bones, this man didn't care about the life and death of the people at all, but only for his own political achievements.

The road from the capital to Jiujun did pass through Jiangnan, but it did not pass through Jiangzhou. Huangfu Sheng made a detour on purpose. Apart from the case of Cheng's family, there was nothing in Jiangzhou that could attract him.

Ye Muxi didn't have a good impression of the prince either, and the downfall of officials from the prince's party had nothing to do with her, but seeing Huangfu Sheng so proud of his life made her really unhappy.

"Disaster relief? What if this batch of food is lost from his hands." Ye Muxi was thoughtful, and tapped her index finger on the table.

She wouldn't be so mad that she burned this batch of food and grass. Although this operation was a million times easier than smuggling, it was life-saving food for the people of the nine counties.

Ye Muxi just wanted to make Huangfu Sheng suffer a big loss. She had to find another way to send this batch of grain to the nine counties.

She thinks she is ruthless, but no matter how unscrupulous she is, she still keeps her bottom line and conscience.

"Wan Qiu, where is the food that Prince Rui delivered now?" Ye Muxi asked.

Wan Qiu said, "It's in the granary of our Jiangzhou government. By the way, I heard that Prince Rui has been donating food to big merchants along the way when he came from the capital. Especially those big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have generously solved their problems. Tomorrow, Rui The king hosted a banquet to invite rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and asked them to donate grain. The common people are praising King Rui's reputation. Originally there was only 30 tans of grain, but by the time Jiangzhou arrived, there were already 50 tans."

"It seems that Prince Rui is really popular in Jiangnan." Ye Muxi smiled.

Wan Qiu said, "That's right, those scholars are full of praise for him, saying that he is a great and virtuous king."

Huangfu Sheng's influence is the civil servants of the scholastic community, and these scholastic factions are basically scholars from the south of the Yangtze River, and many families are wealthy businessmen. This time, Huangfu Sheng wanted to provide disaster relief, so they naturally spared no effort to build up momentum for Huangfu Sheng.

"That's just right." Ye Muxi's lips twitched.The more grain he collected, the greater the gap that would have to be made up if the grain was lost.

How much money does it take to buy 50 grains?Especially because of the disaster in the nine counties, the food prices in several neighboring provinces, including Jiangnan, have doubled.

However, if she wanted to steal 50 dans of grain from the heavily guarded granary, she really couldn't do it with her own strength.

If the food is burned, she can still think of a way to set fire to the granary, but Ye Muxi would never even think about burning the life-saving food of the people in the nine counties.

It can only be smuggled out, and we have to find a way to transport it to the nine counties to give the food to the people.

The difficulty of this has surpassed her current strength.

"If daddy has come back, it can be done by letting an army take action." Ye Muxi thought to himself.But he quickly put that thought behind him.

Now she is no longer the daughter of Lingwuhou's mansion.

"Nangong Lin?" Ye Muxi was the first to think of him. With his strength, it is definitely enough, but Nangong Lin is a minister of the court, how could he do such an illegal thing with him.

Stealing official food is a serious crime.

If Nangong Lin knew that he was going to rob the official food, would he be the first to arrest her and tie her up?

"Ghost-faced man..."

Ye Muxi frowned and then relaxed her eyebrows.

The robbing of officials and food has a lot to do with it, so it can only be done by people in the rivers and lakes.The ghost-faced man has extraordinary skills, and he must be able to contact some desperadoes in the world.

Moreover, he has a Plum Blossom Order and has a close relationship with the Four Seas Trading Company.

"Wan Qiu, go to the Nuwa Temple in the north of the city to pray for me, and remember to light a sky lantern." Ye Muxi said.

Wan Qiu Fushen, "Yes."

……

Jinghua Palace.As a member of the royal family, Huangfu Sheng received an imperial envoy to go on tour, so he stayed in Jinghua Palace when he came to Jiangzhou.

"My lord, are you really going to let Cheng Yuanjie go?" Qiu Zongping asked.

Huangfu Sheng said indifferently, "Of course not. This king just induced him to hand over the evidence that the princelings formed a party for personal gain. How could this king make a deal with a prisoner?"

"My lord is right. My lord has always been fair. If it spreads out, I will inevitably lose my status as a lord." Qiu Zongping understood, and said, "Don't worry, my lord. The officials have already sent someone to follow Cheng Yuanjie. As soon as they get the evidence, they will kill him immediately." He silenced."

There was a gentle smile on Huangfu Sheng's face, "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Qiu. Have you sent out all the invitations from my king?"

"Don't worry, my lord. The big households in Jiangnan heard that my lord raised food for disaster relief in nine counties, and expressed their willingness to generously support my lord. They are all my lord's own people. Of course, everyone should contribute to my lord." Qiu Zongping said with a smile, "for the banquet tomorrow night, All the big households in the south of the Yangtze River have expressed that they will attend on time, and the money raised will surely hit a new high, and the emperor will see that the prince is so expected."

These words made Huangfu Sheng feel much more at ease, and said, "This king can only stay in Jiangzhou for three days. Relief is like fighting a fire, so you can't stay for long. Within three days, you will completely close the Cheng family's case." .”

"Weichen must do a good job." Qiu Zongping said.

Huangfu Sheng came to Jiangzhou mainly to obtain evidence that the princelings formed a party for private interests, and secondly to raise food.The food raised along the way almost exceeded the food and grass originally distributed by the imperial court, just to show his father and emperor who is what the people want.

The crown prince and other mediocre and incompetent people just occupy the name of a descendant.

After arranging the two serious matters, a pretty figure appeared in front of Huangfu Sheng's eyes again.The woman was dressed in white and sat quietly in the wheelchair, her eyes were picturesque, which was unforgettable.

The number one beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, the only top-ranking lady, one in a million, such an outstanding woman is in line with his status as Prince Rui.

It's a pity that she was rejected by the beauty.However, it is also because she is not one of those ordinary women who pounce on her when she sees her, that she feels so extraordinary.

Huangfu Sheng became somewhat interested in this woman whom he only met once.

……

Yun Sheng Water Pavilion.

"Your Majesty broke the case of the Cheng family and threw it to Prince Rui. This is a brilliant move. Seeing that Prince Rui came to Jiangzhou in person, he knew that he was bound to bring down a group of princeling officials. After this The prince is like a broken arm." Jun Mochen picked up a black stone, dropped it on the chessboard, and said with a smile, "The prince will definitely counterattack, the two parties will fight each other, consume each other's strength, and the six departments of the court will have to vacate many positions gone."

The Cheng family fell, although the crown prince would be dissatisfied with Nangong Lin, but Huangfu Sheng was the one he hated the most.

Because Nangong Lin is responsible. As the censor of Zuodu, it is his responsibility to monitor the officials. If he does not find out a few corrupt officials, he is not worthy of sitting in this position.Moreover, Cheng Yuanjie also offended Nangong Lin. Although the prince was a little angry, he also felt that it was the Cheng family's own problem. He dared to offend Nangong Lin if he didn't clean up his hands.

This is down, bad luck.

Although Nan Gonglin investigated Cheng Qiming, he didn't dismount other princeling officials, so he generously handed over the case to the emperor.

Therefore, the prince will only hate Huangfu Sheng, and will only retaliate against him. As for Nangong Lin, he can't get used to him but can't kill him, and there is no way to deal with him. He can only order his subordinates to see Nangong Lin away , don't be caught by him.

"Your Majesty?" Jun Mochen raised his brows, he had been in bed for a while, but the man opposite him was still faceless, wondering what he was thinking about.

Nangong Lin recovered, "Huh?"

"Your Majesty, it's your turn to go." Jun Mochen couldn't help but smile slightly, "It seems that Your Majesty's heart is not in the chess game, but which beauty do you remember?"

Nangong Lin's face turned cold. He glanced at the chessboard, picked up a white piece, and dropped it.

"Your Majesty, can you still play chess happily?" Jun Mochen shook his head and smiled wryly when he saw the opponent using such tricky moves to seal his own chess moves.

Looking at the number of chess moves Shizi is playing, it seems that he is in a bad mood?what happened?Everything is as he wished, who has offended our Royal Highness again.

Nangong Lin was sulking.

Sitting in the carriage, he saw Xiao Ziyao holding Ye Muxi's hand and giving Sai Huatuo the pulse.

That was Ye Muxi's hand, why should he pull it?And based on Nangong Lin's understanding of Ye Muxi, she should have shaken off that hand, but she didn't.

It is enough to show that in Ye Muxi's heart, Xiao Ziyao also has some status.

Hearing that Ye Muxi fell off the horse, it was Xiao Ziyao who sacrificed his life to save him.

She didn't expect that besides herself, there would be other people in this world who could be so close to Ye Muxi.

Ye Muxi saw Huangfu Sheng for the first time yesterday, but she smiled so beautifully at him, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of charm.The smile made Huangfu Sheng, who had just met her for the first time, immediately remember her with a photograph.The woman had never smiled at him like this.

angry.

"When she canonize as a high-ranking lady, you tell her what she is going to do." Nangong Lin said coldly.Originally, he couldn't make up his mind, but once the jealous jar was turned over, it was as if he was angry and didn't want to see her anymore.

Jun Mochen was taken aback, "Your Majesty, there is no turning back when you shoot the bow. If you are sure, it will be hard to recover in the future."

"She was just a chess piece to me. A chess piece should have the function of a chess piece." Nangong Lin said coldly.

Jun Mochen remained silent.Someone has always been duplicity, but this game of chess is of great importance. If Nangong Lin really doesn't do this, he, a counselor, should persuade Nangong Lin to calm down.

"My son always puts big things first, but Mochen only obeys orders." Jun Mochen said.

As soon as the words were finished, Leng Xun hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Fourth Miss sent someone to Nuwa Temple to light the sky lantern."

Ye Muxi's temperament of not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, she doesn't know how to light a lamp.Could it be that something happened to her again?

Nangong Lin stood up abruptly and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Jun Mochen looked at his back, dumbfounded.Didn't you always say that the fourth girl is a chess piece?How can a chess player come and go immediately when called by chess pieces?
