Chapter 91 Food
After a loud shout, footsteps sounded chaotically from the other side of the port, whether they were on the ship or those resting in the open space, they all ran in disorder.Xiang Yuan told Niu Er to find the prince quickly, keeping his eyes on the ship.The place where the fire broke out was next to the cargo ship, and the attendants who had pretended to be shopkeepers to sell tofu nao before looked at it. All the boatmen panicked and ran around disobediently, and took the opportunity to get close to the cargo covered with felt.
"Hey, that shopkeeper, hurry down, we're going to sail!"
The foreman felt a little uneasy, the place where the fire was on was strange, and the fire was sometimes high and sometimes low.Judging from his experience, it doesn't seem like it was made by accident.But what he couldn't understand was that this was a port, and there was water everywhere. If someone set the fire on purpose, it would be of no use.
"Hey, it's on fire, I'm so scared that my legs are weak." When the shopkeeper heard the foreman calling him, he pretended to be unsteady, and suddenly fell on the tightly covered goods next to him. .
It's not hard, it's a bit loud, and the things inside seem to be small grains?
"Okay, okay, hurry down."
The foreman looked nervous, and stepped forward to grab the shopkeeper in two steps, and walked out with a tug.
"I'll go alone, I'll go alone, hey, my tofu brain."
That attendant is also a good performer, and in every word and deed, he is a small peddler who instigates philistines.
The fire was not big, and was quickly extinguished by the people at the port with water.After the whole audience, it just created a little confusion.Xiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this brat is not so cold-hearted and concubine Leng, who doesn't care about other people's life or death.
Before Niu Er went to look for him, Li Qiqian came back quietly with a smug smile.
Xiang Yuan looked at him and said indifferently: "Does the prince know that someone is protecting him secretly?"
Li Qiqian couldn't stop his smug smile, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed after hearing Xiang Yuan's words, and then he was very righteous.
"Naturally, I'm not a fool. I really only bring an ink book, and I don't even know how to leave the capital."
Xiang Yuan nodded, yes, very good, not stupid, at least he knows how to protect himself.
Niu Er came back and whispered in Xiang Yuan's ear, Xiang Yuan squinted his eyes and nodded. "Okay, let's go back."
Li Qiqian looked at the two of them back and forth, and immediately realized that the person in charge of inquiring must have returned after getting the news, so he hurriedly got on the donkey cart happily.
They found an inconspicuous tea shop, Xiang Yuan and the others had just sat down when his relatives, who were pretending to be shopkeepers, changed their clothes casually and rushed over.
"My lord, most of the things on the boat are food."
Hearing what Qin Sui said, Xiang Yuan immediately stood up in shock. "Food? Are you sure?"
"Although I'm not very sure, there are seven or eight points."
food!
Xiang Yuan sat down and secretly calculated that from the first day he saw this ship transporting cargo to now, it has appeared five times in total, and according to his observation, the draft of each cargo ship is almost the same.In other words, the weight of each shipment is the same.
Adding up several conversions, if it is grain, the sum of the five shipments is as large as [-] stones.
Ten thousand stones of grain, what to do!
Also, the days of paying taxes in autumn have not been long, how could Hejian Mansion have [-] shi of grain left?
"Do you know where they're taking the stuff?"
"Now we only know that it was shipped out to sea and headed east. But we don't have good water quality, so we can't keep up, and the exact location hasn't been found out yet."
Xiang Yuan was still instructing his subordinates to find a way to find out where the grain was transported, and Li Qiqian on the other end also reacted, and his face was distorted immediately with anger.
"These people are so bold and reckless! Not only do they meddle in the sale of officials, but they even meddle in the food. So much food is shipped out, so it's possible that they want to raise private soldiers to rebel!"
As soon as the words came out, Li Qiqian himself was stunned.Xiang Yuan covered his face, and just now he had calculated the total amount of food, and this thought did pop up in his heart.Unexpectedly, he didn't dare to speak nonsense, but the prince himself blurted out inadvertently.
Seeing that Xiang Yuan's expression was not right, Li Qiqian stammered a little.
"No, you won't be really hit by me?!"
Xiang Yuan sighed in his heart.After all, he was only a child of fourteen or fifteen years old. In modern times, he was just a junior high school student.Thinking of this, I can't help but feel relieved.
After waving his hand to tell the others to go out, Xiang Yuan explained in detail the results he had calculated, as well as his own conjectures.Li Qiqian's face turned pale, but he still sat calmly on the chair and analyzed calmly.
"It's impossible for a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Hejian Mansion to dare to do this matter. There must be people with greater power behind it." As he spoke, Li Qiqian's eyes seemed to be burning with two clusters of ghostly fire, icy and piercing.
"It's King Qing."
The tone is [-] points affirmative.
According to various clues, Xiang Yuan privately speculates that the person behind the scenes must be King Qing.But after all, when it comes to the royal family, Xiang Yuan is not willing to discuss with the prince how fucked up his uncle is, and how he should kill his relatives righteously.
Li Qiqian was obviously not in the mood to tell how despicable his uncle was. After thinking for a moment, he took off a ring-shaped jade pendant engraved with a dragon pattern and handed it to Xiang Yuan.
"Ask your subordinates to take this piece of jade to Luan Shui Wei Station to find Zhou Shichang, the commander of the capital, and tell him to send you some soldiers with good water skills. Be quicker, and tomorrow we will know where the food has gone! "
At the end of the sentence, it was unavoidable to be a bit vicious.
Xiang Yuan took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, then looked at Li Qiqian inquiringly.
Li Qiqian nodded: "Don't worry, this person is trustworthy."
Having got the right words, Xiang Yuan didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered Niu Er to go to Luanshui himself.
Returning to the governor dull and depressed, Zhao Shen greeted him, looked Xiang Yuan up and down, saw that there was nothing unusual about him, and then let go of his concern a little.
"Master Gao sent people over, thinking that the governor's office has been sealed for a few days."
Li Qiqian was hugging Xiang Anjue and asked him how he slept well, what he ate when he got up, and Xiang Anjue blinked his eyes and warned him solemnly: "Qianqian, you have to pack up quickly. Otherwise, you won’t be able to find it if you move.” Li Qiqian was still a little confused, and heard Xiang Anjue say that Zhao Shen told him not to throw toys away, because they were going to move away soon, and he was quite excited in his words.Children are curious about all new things and like different experiences.
Li Qiqian was confused when he heard the conversation between Zhao Shen and Xiang Yuan. Before Xiang Yuan could answer, he exploded.
"Why! He, Gao Minxing, is only temporarily serving as the governor, and the imperial decree didn't say that he should move into the governor's office. I want to live in it, just dreaming of him!"
Xiang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he ordered his servants to start packing the bags that were not used frequently, and under Li Qiqian's stare, he leisurely dragged Zhao Shen into the room, and when they all sat down, he said with a hint of slyness: "Good time, I But I hope he sends someone over."
Seeing that not only the daughter-in-law was puzzled, but Li Qiqian was also confused, Xiang Yuan analyzed it carefully for them.
"Gao Minxing is an old fox, and he doesn't leak anything. If you want to find a flaw in him, you are not sure, and you can't do it at all. But this time the sage asked him to act as the governor temporarily, which gave me a chance." Xiang Yuan told Zhao Shen Poured a cup of warm water, made himself a cup of tea, turned around and saw Li Qigan's depressed face, couldn't help smiling, and made him a cup of tea, Li Qiqian took it with satisfaction, with the corners of his mouth curled up.After running for a day, his throat was already smoking.But Xiang Yuan only knows how to be considerate of his own wife, and doesn't pay much attention to his grand prince, hum!
"Suddenly being hit on the head by a pie that I didn't even dare to think about before, even Gao Minxing is cautious and restrained, and at this time he will inevitably start to feel smug. But I just need to show weakness, Gao Minxing will immediately get carried away, and there will be nothing like the past Be cautious. Our chance has come."
On the second day, Xiang Yuan took his packed luggage and his family and only hired a mule cart to drive slowly outside the city gate.
Gao Minxing squinted and smiled when he received the news in the government office.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, his subordinates tentatively asked: "My lord, since Xiang Yuan has already left, is the other side of Zhangjiagang a little more relaxed? I have been too busy these days, and I am already tired."
"No, the prince is in a hurry, tell them to hurry up."
The subordinate opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything.
