Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 1158
Because Shangguan Xuanyi happened to know about this, he deliberately asked Shangguan Ruixi to arrange a batch of food to be delivered to the front line tonight to test whether the person who sneaked into the warehouse last night would poison him.
I didn't expect that someone would actually poison the food, and indeed it would be poisoned on the food eaten by the people transporting it.
"Fortunately, that person didn't poison all the food, otherwise he would have suffered heavy losses." It was heartbreaking to see so much food poisoned!
"No, with so much food, where can we find so much poison, and it will be too easy for people to find out that the food is poisonous. The poison is highly toxic, and it will be fatal immediately if you eat a little bit. You can use a silver needle to detect it. Besides, The man's purpose in poisoning was not to poison all the soldiers, but to get more food. Of course, if some of the soldiers could be poisoned, they would not lose."
"It seems that the missing grains were poisoned during transportation?" Shangguan Ruixi knew that when each package of grains leaves the warehouse, it will be inspected to ensure that there are no problems before it is sent out. After entering the treasury granary, he was poisoned.
"Yes." Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.
The treasury granary is heavily guarded and equipped with traps, so it is not easy to sneak into it and poison it.
It is easier to poison food only when it is on the way. Just like tonight, the soldiers transporting food will find a place to shelter from the rain every night. The soldiers transporting food also need to sleep at night. Although there are people keeping vigil, but After a long day's journey, there will always be a time when you doze off. This is the best time for the enemy to take action.
That's why the routes for transporting food and medicine need to be kept secret. It's because they're worried that it will be leaked and the enemy will take advantage of it.
"I don't know if the first two batches of food sent out were secretly poisoned."
"I don't know, but I have to remind the generals on the front line that after the food is ready, they must test the poison with a silver needle."
"Did anyone ask anything from the person who poisoned him? For example, did he have any other accomplices?"
"No." It's really that easy to ask. Could it be that Gong Zixuan is stupid and sends such a person to do things?
Usually, agents are very loyal people! You won’t rebel easily! Of course, there are some who were tortured to extract confessions, but they were very few.
Shangguan Xuanyi can guarantee that the people he sends out as internal responders are very loyal. Even if they are tortured to extract confessions, they will not say a word! If they really can't stand the torture, they will just commit suicide.
Therefore, the traitor can usually be found out only when something happens.
However, Nangong Kingdom is short of food, and he believes that they will try their best to obtain their food!
Shangguan Xuanyi thought of something and said: "I suspect that there must be a traitor in Nangong Kingdom in Prince An's palace. We might as well reveal the newly formulated grain transportation route map on purpose, and then..."
Before Shangguan Xuanyi could finish speaking, Shangguan Ruixi couldn't help but interrupt him: "Why do you suspect that there must be a traitor from the Nangong Kingdom in Prince An's Palace? Isn't there a traitor in Prince Rui's Palace? It's possible in every palace. He’s a traitor who has infiltrated another country!”
"Not in Prince Rui's Mansion! I can guarantee that none of my people are disloyal!" Shangguan Xuanyi said firmly.
All the people he uses have contractual relationships, and they have all taken loyalty powder, so there is no way they will betray him!
He doesn't believe in himself, he believes in the power of Space Loyalty Powder!
"Really, I don't know where your confidence comes from. If the boat capsizes in the gutter one day, don't cry to me!" Shangguan Ruixi was hurt by Shangguan Xuanyi's confidence.
But he didn't dare to say this anyway. If there was no traitor in Prince An's palace, how could Shangguan Wanru be kidnapped so easily! He even felt that in the entire Imperial City, his own house had the most domestic traitors from other countries!
There's nothing you can do about it, everyone's fault is their fault!
If there are a few more accidents, the emperor will probably doubt the loyalty of the two father and son!
What an unlucky thing! How come you are so unlucky to be assigned the responsibility of transporting food, grass, and medicine for wounds? He doesn't even want to take this job anymore! If this continues, I'm worried that hundreds of lives in the entire government may be involved!
Now that all the fiefdoms have been compensated, there is nothing left to compensate!
"Actually, I don't think I'm suitable for the task of transporting military rations and wound medicine at all. Why don't you suggest to the emperor that someone else should take charge?" Shangguan Ruixi said irresponsibly.
"Okay, since you don't want to make up for your mistakes, then the previous matters should be done in accordance with the law!" Shangguan Xuanyi agreed without hesitation!
Criminal according to law? Shangguan Wanru collaborated with the enemy and treason, what kind of crime was that? Kill the nine tribes!
Shangguan Ruixi thought of this and said quickly: "No, I don't feel comfortable leaving such an important matter to anyone else, so let me do it!"
This is the last time. After Nangong Kingdom is captured, he will never take over frontline matters again! Military affairs or something! This kind of work that is always involved in collaboration with the enemy and treason is really terrifying!
Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at Shangguan Ruixi, who was worse than dead, and then revealed his plan!
snort! Not all the traitors in Prince An's Mansion have been found yet, so he wants to let go so quickly. Is there such a good thing in the world?
Shangguan Xuanyi was busy with court affairs, while Xiaoer was busy taking care of the children at home and making money.
On this day, she returned to Shengpinghou Mansion with her four children to find Jing Hao.
After Xiaoer learned that the Queen Mother wanted to betroth her niece to Jing Hao that day, she went back to Pinghou Palace the next day to tell Liu the news and asked her to quickly settle the marriage between Jing Hao and Gu Qiling to avoid long nights and dreams.
Mrs. Liu was also frightened after hearing this disappearance. Although she didn't know what the character of the Queen Mother's niece was, Mrs. Liu intuitively didn't want Jing Hao to marry the Queen Mother's niece and go home! Isn't this the same as marrying a giant Buddha and bringing her home? The whole family will have to enshrine her!
Mrs. Liu didn't waste any time and asked the official media to come to propose marriage.
Gu Qiqi also went back to her parents' home to tell the Queen Mother's questions. They were also very worried. After all, Gu Qiling was not a person who could hide her thoughts. Her thoughts were known to the whole family!
Even the highly respected Imperial Master condescended to personally express to King Rui that the two families wanted to get married. If the marriage between the two people failed, let alone the question of whether it would be embarrassing or not. With Gu Qiling's temperament, it is estimated that in this life There is a possibility that she will not get married. Even though she is usually quirky, her temperament is extremely stubborn.
So when the Shengping Hou Mansion sent a matchmaker to the Gu family to propose marriage, Mrs. Gu agreed without thinking about it. Then the two families quickly changed the Gengtie tie, and the marriage was finalized.
One day after the marriage was finalized, Jing Hao's appointment documents had already come out. He was indeed going to be the prefect of the two cities that Nangong Guoxin had captured. Although there are only two newly captured cities, the cities that were gradually captured later will be included until there are ten cities, which are designated as Zezhou! It means the arrival of good fortune.
