The shopkeeper was frightened by the joke and ran out to do something.

Hua Chen once again went to the guest rooms where those people lived and made a careful investigation, and many times it was not that the official errand could do everything.

For example, in the guest room, something will be left behind.

The official search was just to come in and take a look, but it was not as careful and serious as Hua Chen.

They all sleep in clothes, so it stands to reason that nothing will be left behind, but there is always an accident in everything, and they always turn over when they sleep, and their clothes have no pockets, so they put things either in purses and accessories hanging on their belts, or they put valuables such as money in their clothes.

In fact, it is easy to lose things if you are not careful, and it is likely to fall when you turn over when you sleep like this.

Hua Chen searched in the room for a long time, and he thought that the uncompressed love affair was such a coincidence, and he found a wooden sign in a crack in the wooden bed.

The top is a Xiao character, and the back record is the number plate of a store, which others may not understand, but Hua Chen understands that this is the employee identity card of a store in Jiangling.

"The Xiao family in Jiangling?"

Hua Chen didn't think too much, and the identity brand could be found in the cracks of the wooden bed, and it was a little strange how to think about it, but the was a shrewd person but not a professional spy officer, and he was convinced of the discovery.

He found a clue that the officials had not found was very accomplished in his heart, and he found a suitable time to put this thing and the letter he wrote back to the contact point.

Half a month later, in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, a wooden sign was placed in front of Li De's desk, and the letter written by Huachen had been burned by Li De after reading it.

"Husband, there is already news, that brand is the hand-picked brand of the Xiao family shop in Jiangling, and it has also been found out that the Xiao family shop guys are all first-class masters." Zhang Chuchen said.

"It's really not worry-free, I have no grudge against the Xiao family and I actually want to attack the salt mine, fortunately, Xiao Yong is stationed with people, otherwise they may really succeed." Li De sighed.

There is a time lag between his sources in Youzhou and Chang'an now, but fortunately, Pei Qingxuan sent Xiao Yong to take someone to make fine salt and bring it back after snowing.

happened to encounter this kind of thing, and I thought that I would quietly transport salt, but fortunately, I dealt with it in time, otherwise the matter of being discovered in Chang'an Salt Mine would be lost.

"This is not simple, it must be a method of making fine salt, you must know that it is a person who can really get rich overnight if he gets a new salt making method, and from now on, it seems that the Xiao family has already prepared." Zhang Chuchen said.

Li De continued to think, according to the intelligence of the red peony, he found that the water in Jiangling was very deep, and many forces were secretly accumulating strength, and the Xiao family was one of them.

Please take care before, I mentioned that the Xiao family has dealings with Zhang Zhongjian, and they are also in contact with the Jianghu sect, if they have no purpose, they will not contact these people.

It is not right to think that a wealthy family has a relationship with the Jianghu sect, and the more logical explanation is that it must be entrusted to the matter.

What is it exactly, where does Li De know, but his understanding of that sect is that if you have money, you can invite them, Shujian League, Luo Zixian, I don't know what they think when they listen to a very elegant name, they are so obsessed with money.

"Check it again, if the Xiao family can know about the Li family's salt mine, then this matter will not be a secret in the future, and it must be arranged as soon as possible." Li Dedao.

"Husband, do you want to send more people to the salt mine, if the news spreads, there will be more people and forces who covet the salt formula, so you must guard against it." Pei Qingxuan said.

"My sister is right, not to mention that when I plant in the spring next year, my husband will go to Chang'an to participate in the royal sacrifice, and no one can protect it." Zhang Chuchen said.

"You guys think about it too much, if Your Majesty really wants to do it, how many people can you shoot to resist the guards and horses, and besides, if you go alone, you will be sent to death, I won't do this kind of stupid thing." Li Dedao.

Pei Qingxuan was curious, what other way was there to prevent it if she didn't secretly send people, she wanted to know.

"I'm going to take the Youzhou soldiers and horses, don't forget that the Youzhou soldiers and horses still have a flag to suppress bandits, and wouldn't it be safer to garrison 100,000 people outside Chang'an City." Li Dedao.

"Wouldn't this be a matter of discourse, and it would be easier to arouse the suspicion of the emperor and ministers." Pei Qingxuan reminded.

"So what, are they really in a hurry, Chang'an is the gate of the Sui State, if there is a change, it is equivalent to moving the foundation, even if the emperor wants to beat those ministers, he will not agree." Li Dedao.

It is logical for him to make such a calculation, thinking about the battle of Goryeo that has just ended, three consecutive defeats have left the foundation of the Sui State with only soldiers and horses that can protect themselves.

It is simply unrealistic to want to do something against Li De again, unless the ministers and courtiers are fools, otherwise they will not easily do anything unfavorable to Li De.

Mobilizing troops and horses from Youzhou to Chang'an is already a big disrespect, as long as there is a word, the war will start, and so on is the same as having rebelled.

The current Sui State can't afford to consume it, even if the officials are crazy and want to fight them, they must have this strength, and once the war starts, the world will be disrupted.

Believe that those people are not stupid.

What Li De can get by doing this is to protect him and Lanling, protect the Li family and the people who follow him.

The disadvantage is that the arrogant and domineering style of action has plunged the Sui court into a crisis, even if they return to Youzhou safely, then there will inevitably be a crack in the relationship between the emperor and Lanling, and that is when they are opposed.

Li De thought about why Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to arrange it like this, what did it matter if the sacrifice was missing Princess Lanling, wouldn't this be threatening himself and making him have to go on like this.

For this matter, Li De thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out, knowing that Emperor Yang of Sui was not such an ignorant person, how could he do such a stupid thing.

No matter what Emperor Yang of Sui thought, what is certain now is that if the imperial court targets Li De, then this is something that many forces and Youzhou generals are willing to see, because after the rupture, they will elect Li De as the king of Youzhou.

When the time comes, the comfortable situation will be completely changed, and it will also be an opportunity for their generals to make contributions.

What didn't happen no one knows in which direction it will go, and what Li De is doing now is nothing more than some inferences.

In the Governor's Mansion, Li De has been listening to Pei Qingxuan and Zhang Chuchen's ideas, and if necessary, he can secretly plant thousands of people in Chang'an if necessary.

Zhang Chuchen is very confident in this, those people are all from the rivers and lakes and have their own abilities, and it is not difficult to take one or two people out of Chang'an City safely, but it is just a matter of how much price to pay.
