Chapter 213: The Cypriots
After Basil ransacked the three salt shop warehouses mixed with illicit salt, there was no movement. Giving the Literature Network
It's not that they don't know what to do next, but they have made another discovery and are following the clues.
After the illegal salt hidden in the warehouses of the three salt shops was destroyed, Zhou Xiang would naturally find a way to speed up the production of illegal salt, otherwise the salt could be delivered to its destination within the expected time.
During this time, Cangshu and Bai Ying spent time in front of Zhou Xiang, occasionally going out for a stroll, or staying in the mansion all day long without going out.
In the face of such an atractylodes, Zhou Xiang was very puzzled, and finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and directly stepped forward to ask.
"Didn't the prince come to Yecheng to investigate the case? Why don't you go out for a stroll or stay in the government and not go out? If this private salt can't find a stronghold again, by that time, the people of my Yecheng will suffer! β
Zhou Xiang's behavior was not to deliberately remind Cangshu that he still had something to do, but to seize the opportunity to wash the suspicion away from him.
Ordinary people will think that the person who makes private salt is certainly unwilling to remember to handle the case, so that he can get out better.
When Bai Ying heard Zhou Xiang's words, she only felt funny.
Is this starting to be uncontrollable?
As long as they stay in Yecheng for a day, Zhou Xiang will have trouble sleeping.
Although the project of making illicit salt will not stop, it will slow down its operation, and I am afraid that the action will be too large, and it will easily attract the attention of Atractylodes.
However, did he really think that by not leaving their side an inch, he would be able to prevent them from investigating the case?
"Lord Zhou, do you think this king is playing in the mountains and rivers? But tell the king, where have you been going lately? β
Cangshu was not angry, but communicated with Zhou Xiang with a calm face.
Zhou Xiang thought back to the places that Atractylodes had been to in the past few days, and found that they were all salt shops and salt-making places.
Although I didn't go in directly to find out, I also learned a lot of news from the people around me.
But fortunately, none of those news were against him.
After thinking about it clearly, Zhou Xiang hurriedly made amends: "Xia Guan is just concerned about the people of Yecheng, and he has always offended King Mu, and he also asked King Mu to forgive him." β
That's a nice thing to say!
Zhou Xiang really said that he was extremely great, and at the same time erased his previous offense, all because he cared about the people of Yecheng.
If he really cares about the old people, how can he do things that harm the people's bodies?
Although he knew all this, Cangshu still showed a relieved smile, patted Zhou Xiang's shoulder, and said, "This king also knows that you are in a hurry, but this king is also worried that things are not progressing." Recently, I have started to think about tea and food, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. β
"King Mu has worked hard."
As soon as Zhou Xiang heard that, he immediately lowered his head and patted Cangshu's ass.
In the face of such words, Atractylodes is naturally accustomed to it.
He also smiled and replied: "Compared with this king, Lord Zhou is even harder." If there is nothing else to do today, this is the end of it. Master Zhou is also busy for a day, go back to accompany your family, don't be too busy to ignore them. β
"They all understand the difficulties of the lower officials, but you have to pay attention to your body recently, but the lower officials have found something to relax for the prince, I don't know if it's okay?"
Speaking of the back, Bai Ying obviously felt the change in Zhou Xiang's tone, as if something bad had happened.
Sensing her discomfort, Cangshu quickly took her hand and silently comforted her. Then, he raised his head, looked at Zhou Xiang, and asked, "This king feels a little tired." Lord Zhou, don't sell Guanzi, and after you have eaten, just bring the fun you said to the king. β
When Zhou Xiang heard his words, he knew that he had agreed, so he replied excitedly: "Xiaguan will go to the kitchen to prepare dinner now, and the music will be delivered to Xiaguan in a while." β
When the words fell, Zhou Xiang finally left with a bright eye.
Bai Ying looked at Zhou Xiang's back, and the sense of foreboding in her heart became more and more intense, as if something bad was about to happen.
At that moment, she grabbed Cangshu's hand, covered her chest and said, "Uncle Thirteen, why do I think there will be bad things out loud?" β
"It's okay, there is a king in everything."
Atractylodes shook her hand back, softly soothing.
Bai Ying's hunch was not wrong, when Zhou Xiang appeared with the three little men, her face turned white in an instant.
She slapped the table so hard that the cup full of tea on the table spilled a few drops of water.
She looked at Zhou Xiang and asked sharply, "Lord Zhou, what do you mean by this?" β
Zhou Xiang glanced at her, and finally fell on Cangshu's body, and said, "Naturally, it's for King Mu's fun." β
Bai Ying looked at him fiercely and said, "What are you kidding, take people away immediately!" β
This person really regards her as the male ** of the thirteenth uncle! At this time, he actually brought out three little men, why didn't she get angry?
Compared to her anger, Atractylodes was much calmer.
He signaled Bai Ying not to be angry, and even held her in his arms, coaxed her for a while, and then looked at Zhou Xiang on the side, and asked, "Lord Zhou, are you the fun you found for this king?" β
"I don't know if the prince likes it?"
These three are his favorite three, and today he risked being discovered by the stinky woman and sent them to the house, in order to win the favor of Cangshu.
Hearing his words, Cangshu's brows furrowed, and his eyes looked at him slightly, "When did this king say that this king likes men?" β
As soon as Zhou Xiang heard this, he immediately stared at Cangshu with wide eyes, and his face was incredulous.
If you don't like men, why do you want to hold this good-looking little boy in your arms and share it with him?
Of course, this can't be said so bluntly, he forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, swallowed his saliva, pointed at Bai Ying, and said, "Isn't this little prince your ......?"
He couldn't say the next words, because he had already received an angry glance from Bai Ying's side, so he had to swallow the words that had reached the side of his throat back into his stomach.
"When did this king say that she was a little son? She is the king's fake lover, the future princess Mu! β
Cangshu also doesn't mind Bai Ying's identity being exposed.
Originally, he was just to prevent Bai Ying from being unnecessarily harassed on the road, so he let her go into battle in men's clothes.
After arriving in Yecheng, she forgot to change back into women's clothes, and after knowing that Zhou Xiang actually asked people to spy on them, she even planned it. Now that the scheme has appeared, and her task has been completed, she naturally recovers her daughter's body.
Although Yecheng is far away from the capital, the matter of King Mu and the daughter of Wu Zhuangyuan is known to the whole country.
Although they didn't know that the saint had given marriage, everyone could guess that the daughter of Wu Zhuangyuan would inevitably be the future Princess Mu.
Now that Zhou Xiang heard this from Cangshu's mouth, he naturally didn't have a fake.
At that moment, he was so frightened that his feet trembled, "It's all the lower officials speculating about the prince, thinking that the prince likes men, and the lower officials deserve death!" β
Zhou Xiang was also scared, and knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy.
I used to think that Bai Ying was just a male **, but he even had a bad idea for her, if it was known, his life would probably be gone.
When the little man who came with him saw him kneeling, he naturally didn't dare to stand, and knelt down together, without speaking the whole time, just hanging his head.
Cangshu glanced at him, and then his fingers began to play with Bai Ying's hair, and said word by word: "You really deserve death!" In front of Ying'er, I gave this king a scypriot, Ying'er, how do you say this should be punished? β
Bai Ying looked at the top of Zhou Xiang's head who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help laughing: "It's also my men's clothes first, which made Lord Zhou misunderstand." β
When Zhou Xiang heard this, he nodded again and again, "Yes, Miss Xu's men's clothes can be said to be so that the lower officials can distinguish between men and women, so the lower officials will make mistakes." β
"But you can't give the thirteenth uncle stuff! Tell me, how many times have you done this? β
Bai Ying is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she directly asked Zhou Xiang.
Now it is obviously autumn cool, and Zhou Xiang, the hand who was asked about this, broke out in a cold sweat, and wiped it with his sleeve from time to time.
In the past, in order to consolidate his position, he naturally dealt with some bosses in Yecheng and the parents and officials in the surrounding towns, and did what he liked, and the people of Saiqian naturally did a lot of things.
But now that he was asked directly and clearly by Bai Ying, how could he answer this?
Once this is answered, then everything will be exposed.
In order to save his life, he had to tremble and replied: "This is the first time Xia Guan has done it, but I just saw that the prince was from the capital, so naturally he had all the fun." also blamed the lower officials for being ignorant, and only came up with such a one. β
"You are indeed foolish!"
Bai Ying listened to Zhou Xiang's nonsense, and she was also very angry.
Cangshu signaled her not to be too excited, then looked at Zhou Xiang, and said in a cold voice: "Now that the matter of private salt has not been resolved, Lord Zhou has caused these troubles to this king. From tomorrow onwards, you will go out to search this king by house, and you must find the person behind the production of illicit salt, otherwise you will not do it! β
The final announcement of Cangshu came out, and Zhou Xiang didn't dare to slack off anymore, nodding his head frequently and saying yes.
In the end, Cangshu was out of sight, and immediately made people disappear, and of course, the three little men he brought naturally left together.
After Zhou Xiang left, Cangshu looked at Bai Ying who was sitting in front of him, sighed lightly, and said, "Restore your daughter's outfit tomorrow." β
Bai Ying looked at the outfit on her body and wondered, "Isn't it good-looking?" β
"It's good-looking, but girls still look like girls."
When Bai Ying heard this, she had no choice but to nod in compromise.
Recently, she has become accustomed to men's dress, and her behavior does not need to be too formal.
If you want to restore your daughter's body, you have to put on a skirt and walk on tiptoe. Although all her postures have been corrected by Concubine Tong and she is now used to it, some restraints are still there.
Thinking of this, she still didn't forget to struggle and asked, "Can you go back to the capital and recover?" β
Cangshu shook his head without hesitation, and said categorically: "No! β
Bai Ying, who heard this, directly collapsed her face, and could only accept it silently.
