The concubine is so charming

Chapter 779 put a long line to catch big fish
Hearing the famous official's words, Chu Feiyan's expression didn't show the slightest strangeness: "But those two batches of official salt transported from Jiangnan to the capital?"

"Yes, these two batches of official salt are huge, and they were prepared for the mid-autumn festival in the capital in another month. Now that the salt boat has sunk, the news quickly spread to the capital along the south of the Yangtze River."

"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Bad news like this always spreads very quickly. However, a large number of officials will definitely be implicated in the sinking of the salt ship. The first thing these people think is to suppress the news. They didn't do it?"

"Some officials tried to suppress the news, but unfortunately they failed."

"The theft of official salt in Nantong City made the emperor make up his mind to rectify the Jiangnan salt administration. At that time, many officials were cleaned up, and there were also supervisors who were responsible for salt transportation. But so many people shot at the same time, but they failed to suppress the news. , it seems that there must be someone behind the push, I thought that person would not be so easy to be baited, it seems that he is also impatient."

Su Yao stared at Chu Feiyan intently, his eyes were full of admiration: "Master Xiang, how did you guess that the man would definitely do something on the salt boat?"

During the process of taking over the Shen family, Chu Feiyan had been asking people to arrange the matters concerning the salt transportation. For this reason, he had mobilized a lot of manpower, but he did not expect it to come in handy so soon.

"If you want to plunge the entire Da'an Dynasty into unease, the best place to do it is the capital, but the capital is under the feet of the emperor, and the emperor's management is very strict. Doing it in the capital is tantamount to seeking death, so the black hand behind it He probably wouldn’t choose this place. So after all the calculations, the second choice is Jiangnan. Jiangnan is economically rich, especially the salt transportation is developed. The salt needed in the whole north is supplied by Jiangnan. If the channel of salt transportation is cut off , It will surely make the people feel stunned. The people will feel uneasy, and the whole Da'an Dynasty will naturally be passive."

"So Xiangye asked the people from Huitong Bank to secretly arrange to replace all the salt on the salt boat?" Su Yao's eyes were shining, and he half-lyed on the table, approaching Chu Feiyan's direction, with a face full of admiration. color.

Chu Feiyan couldn't help but raised his hand to gently scratch the tip of her nose, and said dotingly: "Yes, we are trying to find out who is behind the scenes, so naturally we can't bet on real salt, so the above It's filled with sand."

"Master Xiang is really smart." Su Yao wrinkled his nose, smiled like a crescent moon, and the bright light kept shaking, like intoxicating amber.

"It's still worse than my wife."

"Of course, I was able to catch Mr. Xiang, which proves that I have great vision. Just looking at people, I must be extremely smart. Mr. Xiang, next, we have to follow the vine to find the person behind the rumors? "

"Arresting people now is just to catch some young people who have been pushed out. Instead, it is to scare the snake. Since we want to follow the plan, it is better to delay the plan for a long time. We set the stage high and let this person sing all the time. At the end of the song, let's see what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?"

"But if this happens, the hearts of the people must be a little unstable. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be over in a month, and the sinking of the salt boat happened again. If it is not properly resolved, the people may not even have a good time."

"We are impatient. The person behind the plan must be more anxious than us. If my guess is correct, he will definitely show his signs during the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, he can be caught. I will let someone hide him in advance. The salt was transported to the capital in batches, so as long as the people don’t lack salt to eat, naturally they don’t take it seriously.”

"That's fine, then I'll write a letter to Qing Chen and ask him to keep an eye on the former court. If we want to make the Da'an Dynasty turbulent, it will be impossible if there is no support from the former court. Just let the people behind this move more. Help the imperial court clean up the moths."

"it is good."

In the palace of the Da'an Dynasty, Meng Rou heard that the Jiangnan salt ship had sunk, and couldn't help but anxiously went to the study to find Mu Qingchen, but was told that he was discussing matters with the courtiers, so she could only hold back her anxiety and wait in the side hall , This waited for nearly an hour.

Mu Qingchen knew that there was no salt on board the official ships that sank, but she had to show an unusual headache to the outside world, and the officials were naturally very anxious.

The two batches of official salt were huge, and even if they wanted to replenish them, it would be difficult to fill in the gaps in a short time, and the people couldn't live without salt every day, which made it extremely urgent to solve this matter.

Mu Qingchen became angry, and immediately sent officials to Jiangnan to thoroughly investigate the matter. After he finished discussing with the officials, he felt his ears hurt from the noise, and he couldn't help rubbing the center of his brows.

Zhu Chong came in, and replied softly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Meng Gui is here. Just now the Emperor was discussing matters, and the nobleman was waiting in the side hall. Now he has been waiting for an hour."

After sitting for such a long time, Mu Qingchen also felt tired and stood up involuntarily: "There's no need to call her, I'll go and see for myself."

When Mu Qingchen came to the side hall, she saw Meng Rou standing by the window, unconsciously grabbing a pot of glazed jade placed on the window sill with her fingers.

"This pot of Liuli Cui was given to me by my sister. You are bald, and I will ask you to pay for it later."

Meng Rou was taken aback, and quickly turned her head: "Your Majesty, you have finished meeting with the minister, how is the discussion going?"

"It seems that the news spread really quickly. You knew it in the harem in the blink of an eye. A group of people quarreled for half an hour, but they didn't come up with any effective solution. After all, the price of salt itself is high. Suddenly Two more batches sank in between, such a big vacancy cannot be filled in a short while.”

"If you don't want to find a way with the eldest princess, the eldest princess is so smart, she will definitely find a way."

"I have already sent a letter to my sister, and I should be able to receive it in a few days. Da'an is not resting in the court, and I don't know what the situation in the Huhe tribe is like. I hope they and their party can go smoothly." Mu Qingchen Sighing, he removed the Liulicui from the window sill, put it on the table and examined it carefully, "Seeing that you have harmed it, have you figured out how to compensate it?"

Meng Rou, who was in a nervous mood, was belatedly aware of the good deed she had done: "I picked this up?"

"If it weren't for you, could it be me? This is planted by my sister herself. There is only one pot in the whole Da'an dynasty. My sister takes good care of it every day. When it grows lush, it is sent to me. Now it is caught by you. Most of the leaves have fallen off, so I probably won't survive, what a pity..."

"I was anxious just now, I didn't pull it on purpose, so what should I do?"

"You should find a way to pay me back. Frequent deployment of troops, lack of silver in front hand, why don't you pay me some money?"

Meng Rou swallowed nervously, feeling guilty: "How much money is enough to compensate?"

This was planted by the Eldest Princess herself, and the Eldest Princess usually only likes exotic flowers and plants, so if she can take care of them carefully and deliver them to the Emperor, it must be something extraordinary, if you sell her, you won't be able to pay for it, right?
"At least say 10 taels..."

Meng Rou's eyelids twitched: If she really sold her, she wouldn't be able to pay for it...
