During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 182
"Actually, I didn't do anything. I just had three of his caravans robbed, the items confiscated, and the people imprisoned. I didn't do anything else."

Is this still not doing anything?

Luo Tingye finally understood why Wang He wanted to take Luo Huanhuan away despite all odds.

Caravans are the most profitable in the Xiongnu, and they can make a lot of money every time they come back.

Even if Wang He is a prince, he can't afford many caravans. Three caravans should be all his assets. Luo Huanhuan is lucky, he actually took three of his caravans together, which is equivalent to cutting off Wang He's wealth. It would be strange if he wasn't angry about the financial situation.

Luo Huanhuan quietly studied his expression and explained carefully.

"They were smuggling salt and iron. I took action because I couldn't see it. I didn't expect Wang He to be so hateful and colluded with the third brother. The third brother is also true. The Huns are our enemies. How can he cooperate with them?" Woolen cloth?"

Luo Tingye said with a cold face: "Since Wang He dares to smuggle salt and iron, there must be someone in the court. Why do you think the third child is willing to help him?"

Luo Huanhuan covered her mouth in surprise, "You don't mean that the third brother is also involved, do you? The dignified prince cooperates with the prince of the enemy country to do business, and it is his own family that is cheated. How could he..."

Luo Huanhuan couldn't think of what words to use to describe Luo Jingce.

After holding it in for a long time, he said, "It's simply shameless, extremely shameless."

"He's not shameless, he's just not smart enough."

Luo Huanhuan was dissatisfied, "Eldest brother Luo Jingce has harmed you like this, how can you help him speak for him? Shouldn't you condemn him? He stole your position."

"It's my thing, and I will get it back sooner or later. But to be fair, Luo Jingce has outstanding qualities. If he can be a prince with peace of mind, it will definitely be more beneficial to the court."

Luo Huanhuan thought about what he said and nodded undeniably. Third brother is indeed very powerful in some aspects, but this cannot erase the fact that he hurt you.

Although both of them are Luo Huanhuan's elder brothers, in Luo Huanhuan's heart, the eldest brother's status will always be number one, even surpassing that of his father.

"Why don't you take this opportunity to come back to the capital with me?"

Luo Tingye shook his head and refused. Luo Huanhuan knew that he must have his own plan and did not force it.

I just asked about Jiang Qian and Jiang Miao.

Luo Tingye didn't hide it, and even felt a little proud, "Jiang Miao is the sister-in-law I found for you."

Luo Huanhuan clapped her hands happily, "My sister-in-law is pretty good, much better than the previous sister-in-law."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said. He glanced at his elder brother's expression cautiously and said, "Brother, I mean you have good taste."

Luo Tingye's expression remained as usual, "Of course my vision is good."

Seeing that Luo Tingye didn't care at all, Luo Huanhuan became bolder.

"When Song Liyun married the third brother, she didn't look down on him at all. She couldn't give birth to a child herself, and she wasn't willing to let anyone else give birth to a child. She probably got rid of Meng Liangdi's child, but his The method is very smart, let others do it and enjoy the results yourself.”

"How do you know so much?" Luo Tingye only found out about this later. How could Luo Huanhuan know about it when he was far away in Jiangnan.

Luo Huanhuan became proud, "Do you really think your sister is a vegetarian? Although I have left the capital, I still have people in the palace who communicate with me every month. Even though there has been no news recently, I don't know about the capital. how's it going."

Luo Tingye's face became serious, "When you go back, be careful of Lu Lin around you. I suspect that your recent accidents have something to do with him?" Luo Huanhuan stood up in surprise and subconsciously retorted, "It's impossible. Lu Lin used to be your bodyguard, and I only asked him to be with me after your accident. Over the past few years, he has been trying his best to protect me, how could he betray me?"

"What happened to me in the first place was because the people around me betrayed me."

Luo Huanhuan sat back slowly and couldn't help but ask: "You don't suspect that he betrayed you, do you?"

Luo Tingye shook his head. He doubted many people. He doubted everyone who had been with him and was still alive today.

Luo Huanhuan believed in Luo Tingye's judgment, no matter whether Lu Lin had any problems or not, he couldn't use it. "Brother, can you lend me two people?"

"it is good."

After dark, Luo Huanhuan returned to the Governor's Mansion with a large bag of food.

When Huo Guoxin learned that the princess had returned safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help complaining to the staff around him.

"I have long heard that Princess Huandu is lively, playful and willful. Sure enough, she knew that it was extremely dangerous outside, but she still ran out to play alone. If something really happened, and the superiors were blamed, wouldn't it involve me? .”

"My lord, what I'm saying is, fortunately, the day of departure is very close. As long as your lord ensures that the princess is safe and sound during this period, when she returns to the capital, she will be rewarded by the Holy One, and maybe she can move her position."

Huo Guoxin shook his head. If it had been in the past, of course he would have been happy to change his development in another place, but now that the imperial court was going to fight the Huns, wouldn't it be obvious that he wanted to get involved in this matter by going to the capital?

"The situation is too chaotic now, and returning to the capital may not be a good thing."

The staff nodded, "My lord, what you are saying is, should we remove the people who protect the princess? Let the princess have an accident?"

"No, if Princess Huandu does something and His Majesty is furious, I'm afraid I will be implicated as well. I can't be too nice to her, but I can't be bad either."

In this way, the person who arranges the escort will have to be particular.

After much thought, Huo Guoxin decided to let Qian Chenglai, the Prime Minister of Yingchuan County, take charge of this matter.

Qian Cheng was good at business and knew how to be an official. In less than two years after taking office, he got along well with Yuzhou officials, big and small, and was praised by Huo Guoxin.

Huo Guoxin immediately called Qian Cheng and informed him of his plan, and Qian Cheng naturally agreed without hesitation.

After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Qian Cheng quietly came to the inn and stayed for an hour before leaving.

Luo Tingye said to Jiang Qian: "Qian Cheng will send the most elite soldiers to protect your safety along the way, and I will also send people to protect you secretly. You just need to stay with most of the people."

Jiang Qian didn't worry much about his own safety. He was just a scholar, and no one would trouble him if they had nothing to do.

"Where is the princess?"

"She will ask the maid to pretend to be her and stay in the carriage. When they arrive in the capital, someone from the emperor will come to pick her up."

Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Jiang Qian asked again, "Where does the princess plan to hide?"
