During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 190 Lu Lin is dead
Jiang Miao understood that her eldest brother wanted her to leave on purpose. She glanced at the silent Luo Tingye and left reluctantly.

Luo Huanhuan collected firewood with her, and soon collected a lot.

Luo Huanhuan asked: "Are you worried about my brother?"

Jiang Miao nodded hesitantly.

Luo Huanhuan came over and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, the eldest brother may just want to know what happened back then. Lu Lin may not really be involved, but I think he should know something about it."

"They didn't tell me what happened three years ago. Do you know what happened?"

Luo Huanhuan shook his head excitedly, "Three years ago, my father took my eldest brother and half of the court to the palace to escape the summer heat. I stayed in the palace because I was infected with the cold. Only after I recovered did I know that my eldest brother died and how he died. The people in the palace kept silent, and then the third brother replaced the eldest brother. The people in the palace did not want to get into trouble, and rarely mentioned that incident."

Jiang Miao didn't believe it, "Your elder brother said you are very smart. It's impossible for you to know nothing. You must not want to tell me."

Luo Huanhuan was slightly surprised and thought to herself: As expected of her brother, she is as smart as her.

Luo Huanhuan thought about it and felt that it was not a secret, so she whispered: "I only know that a group of thieves appeared in the palace at that time, intending to assassinate my father."

"Where did the thief come from?"

Luo Huanhuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know."

Jiang Miao blinked, "Don't they have anyone to protect them?"

"At that time, my father and eldest brother were hunting, and the guards around them were all outside. The thief appeared suddenly. Father and eldest brother did not expect it at all. In order to protect their father's safety, eldest brother lured the thief away alone. I didn't know it later. Whereabouts."

Luo Huanhuan sighed, "A few days later, the Royal Guards later found half a skeleton at the foot of the mountain. The clothes the skeleton was wearing were the same as what my brother wore when he led the enemy away, and the characteristics of the skeleton also matched his brother. "

Jiang Miao was speechless, "Just because the clothes and some of the features are the same, do you believe that Luo Tingye is dead?"

Of course not.

They were not idiots, how could they easily conclude that their eldest brother was dead.

"My father asked all the monks of Dali Temple to conduct an autopsy together, and finally came to the conclusion that my brother was dead. When the news came, my father turned gray almost overnight and fell ill all of a sudden."

"The country cannot live without a king for a day. When my father was seriously ill, someone suggested that the third prince should supervise the country. Although my father didn't like the third brother, after all, the country was the most important thing, so he agreed."

Jiang Miao lowered her eyes and thought. She actually knew something about what happened three years ago. Luo Tingye said that he was betrayed by one of his own people, and Luo Huanhuan said that it was because of a sneak attack by thieves, so the two are connected, which means internal and external collusion.

It was still a trap set up under the emperor's nose and under layers of guards. How many people had to be involved in it.

Luo Huanhuan saw her in a daze and thought she was scared, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. By the way, have the thieves been found?"

"The strange thing is that all the thieves disappeared. Not even a single body was found. They seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air."

"Disappeared?"

Luo Huanhuan nodded, "The Imperial Guard checked, Dali Temple checked, and the Ministry of Punishment also checked, but no clues were found. Later, the Song family checked for half a year, but nothing was found, so the case had to be dropped." ”

Hearing the Song family, Jiang Miao frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Is it the Song family of the Crown Princess?"

Luo Huanhuan realized that she had said the wrong thing and smiled awkwardly. "That's the Song family. At that time, the eldest brother and Song Liyun were engaged. Song Liyun became ill after learning about his eldest brother's death. Later, news came out from the Song family that Song Liyun would stay with his eldest brother for three years. At that time, many people praised her, even My father also praised her and rewarded her with many things."

Luo Huanhuan had praised her as a martyr behind her back several times, until a year after Luo Tingye's death, she accidentally discovered Song Liyun and her third brother walking in the snow. Although their behavior was not close, it was not alienated either.

Only then did she realize that Song Liyun was not as good as she thought.

At that time, Luo Huanhuan also began to suspect that her elder brother's death was not simple. Later, she secretly investigated and found out a little bit. Unfortunately, every time there was a clue, it was cut off.

She realized that someone was blocking her and did not dare to continue investigating.

After the absence of her eldest brother, Luo Huanhuan's life in the palace was also difficult.

She once had a close relationship with her eldest brother, but now her status has taken a turn for the worse. Her former good sisters began to laugh at her, and everyone in the palace treated her with indifference.

Without the help of Eunuch Fulin, she might have been trapped and died in the palace.

Seeing her interest, Luo Huanhuan was afraid that she would impulsively disrupt Luo Tingye's plan, "Let my elder brother worry about this matter. Aren't you supposed to be thinking about making money?"

Jiang Miao nodded, but she felt something was wrong. From her tone, she felt that it was right for her to make money.

"How do you know I want to make money?"

Luo Huanhuan blinked, "What big brother wants to do requires a lot of money. As his good wife, of course you have to help him make money. And aren't you here just to make money?"

Jiang Miao: "..."

That's what she said, but somehow it sounded like she deserved it.

"If I weren't so conspicuous now, I could help you."

After all, she earned a lot of money during her trip. Some of it was given by local officials, and some of it was earned by herself. Before she came out, Luo Huanhuan thought it was difficult to make money, but along the way, she found that it was not difficult to make money, as long as she came every time Buy more souvenirs in one place, and then go to the next place to sell them. Repeat this, and the money will naturally come.

Jiang Miao felt that making money was not that simple. All goods entering a city had to pay taxes. In other words, Luo Huanhuan was exempted from tax by virtue of her status as a princess. If it had been anyone else, they would have been stripped of their skin.

But her words reminded herself that she should get a tax exemption document.

Jiang Miao and Luo Huanhuan chatted for a while and simply returned to the camp first.

No news has come out from the garrison in Qingzhou. Vice General Zuo sent someone to inquire. It is expected that there will be news tomorrow morning.Before that, he had to communicate with Huo Jishi and find a way to seize the credit and cheat Qingzhou.

Lieutenant Zuo always did this kind of thing once he saw it. With Qian Cheng at his side to help, things went even smoother.

Lieutenant General Zuo said to the people around him: "Master Qian is so powerful, no wonder he became the Prime Minister of Yingchuan County in one fell swoop."

"What the general said is that if he wasn't powerful, he wouldn't be Lord Huo's confidant."

The left deputy general nodded, what he said made sense.

At first, Qian Cheng became a county magistrate by virtue of his white body, causing quite a stir in Yuzhou, and many people were watching the excitement.
