The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 288 The Truth
Lin Jiaojiao asked, "Is there anything else?"

The two shook their heads one after another, saying that they only knew so much and nothing else.

Yao Guanglai on the side was about to speak, when Lin Jiaojiao looked over, and Yao Guanglai immediately fell silent.

She took a look at Yao Guanglai, then looked at the two beggars again, and said to them: "My princess heard that some of you said that Jia Gucang secretly replaced the girders at night. This rumor is about public affairs, and you will be killed."

As soon as these words came out, the two beggars froze in fright, their eyes opened wide, and they stared at the floor.

They only had the word beheading in their minds, and after realizing it, they quickly knelt down, shaking like chaff.

Ergou tremblingly said: "Princess Wangfei, we didn't spread rumors, we also heard them."

"Yeah, we also heard people say it." Daniel quickly echoed, they can't afford this responsibility.

After Lin Jiaojiao heard it, she said "oh", the corners of her lips curled slightly, her eyes were full of coldness, and she asked, "Why didn't you just say that?"

Hearing this, the two were frightened, as if their throats were blocked by something, how could they dare to say such things casually, especially when the person in front of them was the princess.

Although they are just beggars, they also know that there are many things that cannot be said nonsense. These things are very involved, and they cannot bear this responsibility.

In order to save his life, Ergou confided directly: "We know a cook in the Jiagucang labor camp. We beggars often go to beg for food, and he will give us. We heard that guy bragging to others while we were eating. .”

"Boss?" Lin Jiaojiao asked suspiciously.

Er Gou nodded his head, and said with certainty: "The guy said that after changing the girders, they can make money again, and that they want to build a big house to ask for a beautiful wife when they go back. Someone from behind sent firewood. They are all good wood. Someone suggested It is said that the firewood sawed from the girders is not worthwhile to burn, and it has to be sold for money."

Seeing that Er Gou started talking, she smiled lightly, it seemed that she was afraid, and quickly vomited out what she knew.

Seeing that Ergou had said so much, Daniel thought for a while and added, not to be outdone, "The labor camp has been working after midnight for several nights, and the water transport terminal has been delivering things non-stop at night."

In the end, I really didn't know what to say, as if everything I knew had been said.

The two began to kowtow: "Princess Wangfei, that's all we know."

Lin Jiaojiao didn't say a word. The water transport terminal transported unknown goods at night, and Jia's granary was under construction in the middle of the night. This sneaky exchange of girders was a suspicious point!
She looked at Eleven who was guarding the door, and said, "Send someone to tell the prince about this."

"Yes." Eleven agreed.

After asking about Jia's barn, it's time for her to ask how these two people got into the capital.

She knew that the late emperor had issued an order a few years ago to send all the migrants in the capital back to their places of origin, and make proper arrangements for those without their places of origin.

After that, the people who entered and left Beijing must be recorded in the register, and people like these people who fled will definitely not be able to enter Beijing.

Asked: "How did you come to the capital?"

Ergou was taken aback for a moment, but still replied cautiously: "We came by boat."

This answer made people listen as if they didn't listen, Xuemei frowned and said, "My lady is asking how you got into the city."

Ergou quickly replied: "It came in through the water gate at night."

They were on the boat arranged by Tianba's group, and it was also the city that Tianba's group took them into.

The capital city is bustling and bustling than Lin'an, but their original plan of [-] Wen per person per day has become [-] Wen per person per day.

It's not easy to go hungry in the capital, but if you don't have enough money, you will be beaten.
