"Yes, now is not the time. Since Xiaobao has been poisoned, Brother Zhang, you will be next." Everything is going on according to their original plan.

No matter whether it was the poisoning of Xiaobao or not, they just took the opportunity to pretend that Zhang Deshan was poisoned, so they just confuse them.

"Okay, tomorrow I will let the people from the government inspect the salt by themselves."

"Correct."

After exhorting Zhang Deshan, Qin Lu let out a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, lord, Miss Qin, I won't bother you anymore, I'll go and rest first." Zhang Deshan saw Qin Tieniu's cold face, and thinking of Qin Lu's behavior today, he reckoned that his lord was looking for Qin. The girl, it would be affected, he ran away after speaking.

Seeing Zhang Deshan running away in a hurry, Qin Lu looked at Qin Tieniu pitifully, "Tie Niu, I'm injured, do you still want to teach me?"

"You know how dangerous it is, don't you?"

Qin Tieniu was still cold, looking like he couldn't be coaxed well.

Qin Lu pouted and nodded slightly.

Qin Tieniu pulled her to sit on the chair, "Daughter-in-law, it's better to leave this kind of thing to other people. If something happens to you, what can you ask me to do?"

"Xiao Bao's situation is very urgent, I didn't think much about it at the time, but I promise this is the last time, okay?!" Qin Lu raised her hand to make an oath.

Even if Qin Tieniu was so angry, he could only shake his head helplessly now.

"You."

"Okay, Tieniu, I'm tired."

"have a rest."

When Qin Lu acted like a baby, Qin Tieniu lost his temper at all.

Everything is fine here, but that continuous but unable to sleep for a long time.

He was waiting, waiting for his people to report the good news, but after waiting for several hours, he still didn't see anyone. Just as he was angrily scolding the housekeeper, his subordinates returned.

"Come on, how are you?" He continued to wave his hands to come to him, looking at him nervously.

Kneeling on the ground with his hands, with a smile in his eyes, and a hint of compliment on his face, "Master, starting tomorrow, the first officer will not be able to follow the people from the government to patrol salt."

"really?"

"Really, after my subordinate poisoned him, I was worried about going on a business trip and waited at the inn. Half an hour ago, Mr. Zhang sent someone to the yamen and told him that he was unwell. He will not participate in the salt inspection tomorrow. gone."

"Okay, very good, hurry up and send a letter to the capital, and at the same time look for the whereabouts of the prince. I want to see if this Prince Zheng is really capable."

Lianji didn't pay attention to Pei Zhengyan at all, and told the butler with his hands behind his back, "Where is he now?"

"Master, according to the results of the investigation by the people we sent out, Prince Pei Zhengyan has not yet arrived in Yongcheng, and there is no trace of where he went."

"Then send someone to guard at the gate of the city, don't let him enter the city."

"Yes."

The butler and his subordinates started to work according to the continuous instructions.

Looking at the empty room, he continued to enjoy it, "Looks like it's time to contact the prince."

I just thought of the prince here, and the prince who is far away in the capital over there, so I asked the housekeeper to pass on news to him.

"Tell me that this year's taxes will be twice as much as usual."

"Prince, the old slave has sent a letter to Lianxuan according to your instructions, and his reply letter has arrived, saying that there is no problem at all, and Zhang Deshan, the first officer of the salt inspection, has been poisoned, and now he cannot patrol the salt with the local officials."

The butler had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Hearing this, the prince couldn't help laughing, "God help this prince."

The prince got up and came to the courtyard, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and said proudly: "No matter what Pei Zhengyan wants, I will not let him get it."

"The crown prince is wise, the matter of the escort flag camp has been dealt with, and you can leave in a few days."

"Don't worry, enter the palace tomorrow."

"Yes."

Now that Pei Zhengyan has left for such a long time without making any achievements, he naturally cannot let go of such a good opportunity.

After the morning court the next day, the prince went to Qianqing Palace.

The emperor was reviewing the memorial in front of the hall, and the crown prince knelt on top of the hall, "Father, my son is guilty."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor couldn't help frowning, and after a while he said: "What's the matter?"

"Father asked the son and the ninth brother to go through the task of patrolling salt to determine who can marry Miss Qin Lu, but now the ninth brother did not follow the rules, took Qin girl to Yongcheng, and disappeared, all of them are sons It's my fault, if my son didn't want to be with Miss Qin so much, maybe the ninth brother wouldn't get out of such a big rebellion."

The prince looked at the emperor sadly.

The emperor listened to the prince with a gloomy face, and then his face became even more ugly, "Yan'er disappeared?"

"Yes, I was going to go to Yongcheng in the next few days, and I wanted to contact my ninth brother, but I couldn't get in touch. The officials in Yongcheng said that only Zhang Deshan arrived in Yongcheng, and I haven't seen my ninth brother for a few days. and……"

Up to this point, the prince hesitated to say anything.

The emperor's eyes darkened, "Speak."

"Zhang Deshan was originally going to inspect Yan as the first officer, but from today onwards he will not go to inspect Yan anymore, he has been staying at the inn. My son is worried that something will happen to them, so I want to go earlier..."

"Go ahead, since the matter of the escort flag camp is not what you advocated, you should reflect on this matter yourself, and you must control the people in the East Palace in the future, so as not to embarrass the East Palace."

"Yes, my son obeys the order."

After the crown prince left Qianqing Palace, the emperor asked Eunuch Qin to come to him, "How is Yan'er?"

"At present, when I arrived in Yongcheng, I just concealed it from the local officials and pretended to be a follower. I have been patrolling salt with Miss Qin for the past few days..."

Who is the emperor, how can he not see Qin Tieniu's tricks, he is his son after all, but as the emperor, he never thought that his prince would be such a person who would do anything to win.

Every word he said just now chilled the Emperor.

"Prince, you send someone to watch."

"Yes……"

Seeing that the emperor was so worried, Eunuch Qin also sighed, "Your majesty, why don't you just tell the prince the truth?"

He can also be regarded as an old man by the emperor's side. There are some things that others can't say, but he can.

The emperor looked up at Eunuch Qin, and sighed, "Don't you think I don't want to? But the prince can evade such a big matter as the escort flag camp. Do you really think the prince will leave too many handles?"

"Your Majesty, you, do you know?"

"You can see clearly, I'm not an old fool anymore." The emperor stood up and looked at a peach blossom tree in front of Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back, "This peach blossom was planted by the crown prince himself. Seeing bright flowers this winter, I just don’t know how true or false this statement is.”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is only for the position of the East Palace, not..."

"Okay, let's go down."

The emperor didn't want to hear anything anymore, so he asked Eunuch Qin to issue a secret order to the officials of Yongcheng, to assist Pei Zhengyan in the task of patrolling salt.
