After rebirth, she was forced into marriage by the sickly prince

Chapter 81, Chapter 81

The tea stake is a hidden stake set by Xiao Qiyu.

Jiaojiao is his eyeliner buried in Wangchun Tower.

In these years, although he was not favored by his father, in order to redress his grievances, he established a dark force in private, spread his eyes, and collected information.

Asuo often appears here as the ghost-faced gentleman, collecting news from various underworld people.

"Is there any place in Du Niang's room where the treasure is hidden?"

Asuo just asked casually, and didn't think she could know.

In the end, after thinking about it, Jiaojiao said, "It really is."

Asuo immediately asked, "Where is it?"

Jiaojiao replied: "I have seen it before. There is a hidden compartment behind her dressing table. There should be something hidden in it. I also heard that the surnamed Lu treats her very well, and many treasures are placed on her side. , let her take care of it... Therefore, everyone thinks that sooner or later, Du Niang will get rid of her humble status and get married seriously..."

Behind the screen, there was still a thick layer of cloud curtain. Behind the curtain, Xiao Qiyu was sitting cross-legged in front of the table, playing chess. When he heard this, complex expressions appeared in his eyes:

Unexpectedly, the clues provided by Mu Yunjiang are so useful.

After sending the people away, Asuo walked behind the cloud mantle, knelt on the ground, and asked for instructions: "Master, what should we do now?"

"You take people there, divide the soldiers into two groups, first call Du Niang out of her room, and then you will go to check it yourself..."

Xiao Qiyu pondered for a while, and ordered: "Proceed carefully, and don't reveal your whereabouts. If the situation is true, make up a reason, and bring Du Niang out in a legitimate way, so that no one can be suspicious."

"Yes."

Aso went.

Xiao Qiyu lowered his eyes and thought deeply, playing chess slowly.

In less than an hour, Asuo came back, his face was full of joy, and holding a large account book in his hand, he replied excitedly:
"I found it, and it really hides the account books. This is fun, and I can pull out a whole chain of salt sellers.

"The salt trafficking case that has never been detected has finally made progress...

"Master, how did Miss Mu Qi know that there is something wrong with Du Niang? This is too strange..."

Xiao Qiyu took the account book and flipped through it: yes, these things are very valuable.

Mu Yunjiang, Mu Yunjiang, your ability is really not small!

"Has Du Niang confessed?"

"It's all recruited, saying that all these things belong to Lu Dazhi. She was forced to take poison, so she had to help him keep these things..."

"Are you sure you took poison?"

"Yes. I had someone check the pulse. It's a sign of poisoning. And it's a happy pulse. According to Na Du Niang, the child she's carrying is Lu Dazhi's.

"But since these two people are so good, and Du Niang is willing to have a child for Lu Dazhi, how can she recruit them all?"

Aso was deeply puzzled by this.

"It's easy to explain: as long as she is willing to prove that these things belong to Lu Dazhi, she is an official prostitute. She has made meritorious deeds in exposing her, and she can save her life and the child in her belly. In this way, she can be regarded as saving her life." Lu Dazhi's blood..."

According to the laws of Great Liang, official prostitutes were forced to commit crimes, and those who did meritorious deeds were exempted from the death penalty.

It can be seen that Du Niang has read some laws and regulations, because this is the smartest way.

"Did you bring Du Niang out?"

"Bring it out. I invited you with a soft sedan chair. There was no wind at all."

"Very well, then put Du Niang on the table, and we'll catch the salt dealer!"

He wasn't sure if Lu Dazhi could use Lu Dazhi to solve the assassination and poisoning cases in the other palace, but with this person in his hands, the salt trafficking case would definitely be fruitful.

Meeting Mu Yunjiang, his luck seems to be getting better and better.

This woman is very fond of him.

Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Qiling was obsessed with water conservancy projects, and was studying the troubles encountered in opening the canal in his study.

If it weren't for the damn draft, he should have been overseeing the work by the New Canal instead of returning to Beijing to attend that messy banquet.

"Report, His Royal Highness is visiting and has arrived in the hall."

I was drawing engineering drawings, and suddenly someone came to report outside the door.

Hearing that Brother Sanhuang came to see him, Xiao Qiling raised his head in surprise, and looked at Lu Dazhi who was always with him:

"It's really strange, why did the third brother come to me? I heard that he was beaten by the emperor, and the beating was quite serious. Shouldn't he be recuperating at the mansion now?"

Xiao Qiyu is a famous weirdo.

Normally, he is very withdrawn.

Except for fighting and running errands for his father, this man never made friends with any courtiers, nor did he interact with any princes.

Putting down the unfinished painting in his hand, he immediately took people out to greet him. When he saw Xiao Qiyu, he saluted and said with a smile:
"Brother Sanhuang, what brought you here today? I heard that you were not in good health before, but you are better now?"

The relationship between Xiao Qiling and Xiao Qiyu is quite harmonious.

But on weekdays, Xiao Qiling only likes to specialize in his water conservancy, while Xiao Qiyu likes to live in seclusion, and the two of them have little chance to get together.

Xiao Qiling still respects and loves this brother of the Three Emperors very much. He is capable of writing and martial arts. He can investigate the case and guard the border.

In his opinion, Brother Sanhuang is a very capable person, a pillar of the country, and an example for all people.

It's a pity that the father didn't love Chong.

Of course, this is helpless.

Thunder, rain and dew are all your favor.

"I'm here to find Mr. Lu next to Fifth Brother!"

As soon as Xiao Qiyu came in, he saw Lu Dazhi, and he followed his fifth brother. His appearance was honest and fawning, and he was dressed plainly. The clothes on his body were very old.

But who would have thought that such an honest man would be the moth of the country.

In Great Liang, salt is the state affairs.

The sea salt produced in Great Liang can be used by the Northern Jin Dynasty, the grassland peoples in the west, and the Dongyue Kingdom. It can earn a lot of money for Great Liang and play a decisive role in filling the national treasury.

Selling sea salt privately will lead to a large amount of sea salt entering these three countries without restraint, then the price of salt will drop, and it will affect the income of Great Liang...

In this vast land, Daqi and Dongyue are separated by a towering Tianxian Mountain, and it is very difficult to send sea salt across Tianxian Mountain; while the Northern Jin Dynasty and the grassland are only adjacent to them, they want to If you eat salt, you can only pass through the great coolness.

There is a sea in the southwest of Great Liang, and the salt there is the most delicious. Moreover, they have a group of skilled salt makers here, and the salt they make is white, fine and delicious...

There has been a bad habit of smuggling sea salt in Daliang since the past dynasties.

This has been repeated over and over again.

More than ten years ago, after Xiao Li ascended the throne, he was charged with prohibiting salt. Once discovered, he would basically die.

But even so, there will still be people who know what to do in the dark.

……

At this moment, Lu Dazhi pointed to his nose, and asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty the Third Highness recognizes the young one? I don't know what your Highness can do to find the young one?"

He didn't know that he was in a catastrophe.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you, how much salt have you secretly sold by digging canals in the past two years? How much benefit?"

Xiao Qiyu asked slowly.
