Chapter 162: Bad News
This time he went north, Song Xuantao took his concubine Song Xingcheng and the two nephews of the Tan family. The Zhao family sent Zhao Tai and his two sons.
The Song family values this trip north, and the Zhao family also knows that they are going north this time to do things for the Wu family, and they dare not slack off at all, and they have brought enough manpower.
The next day, they set out, just like the merchants that come and go in and out of the port of Yuezhou every day, and go north from the inland waterway.
Song Xuanting was relieved only when he saw the ship leave the port and head north.
If all goes well, the caravan will reach the port of Xuanzhou in ten days and be delivered to Wu Jianzhang, the king of the southeast.
By then, it would be done, and he would have more than 100,000 taels of silver.
Song Xuanting was at the dock for a long time before leaving.
What he didn't know was that Song Xingzhi and Lin Guanqi were also there.
"Do you think the Yang family will really do it?" Lin Guanqi asked.
"Such a good thing, if you were Yang Yuanchu, would you do it?" Rhetorical questioning.
Lin Guanqi was a little hesitant, he felt that anyone with a discerning eye could see that this batch of grain was wanted by the Wu family. The Yang family's blatant robbery of the Wu family's grain doesn't mean tearing their faces?
"Let's wait for the good news tonight!" Song Xingzhi laughed.
On the inland river this night, the wind was inexplicably strong.
Song Xuantao stood on the deck, looking at the lights of the river on both sides, and was inexplicably a little flustered.
"Coming out of Yuezhou?" Zhao Tai said.
"It should be ......"
As soon as the two of them were talking, they saw from a distance that there were countless torches in front of them, and several ships approaching.
Song Xuantao's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Song Xuanting couldn't sleep well this night!
Tossing and turning, even having nightmares!
When the sky was slightly bright, he woke up and stood in the courtyard in his clothes, thinking that the fleet had already left Yuezhou!
At this moment, Lao Ding, the servant beside him, hurriedly came in!
"Uncle, something happened!"
Song Xuanting's eyebrows jumped: "The merchant ship led by the third master was caught by Qiong Ye with his troops, saying that he was selling smuggled salt and grain, and he was dirty and cargo. Now all the goods have been confiscated, and the third master and the third young master have all been arrested and put in prison! ”
Song Xuanting's clothes draped over his shoulders are all gone!
"The master also knows about this, now I will call you over!"
Song Xuanting's face was terrifyingly pale!
He seemed to be frozen in place, unresponsive for a moment.
"Uncle, the old lady invites you to the main hall!"
Song Xuanting was dizzy, and people were also dizzy, and when he arrived at the main hall, he saw his father sitting in the first seat, and the second son Song Xuanhua and Song Xingzhi were the second.
"Boss, what the hell is going on? How could the third child be arrested? Song Yuan hurriedly asked.
"Dad, what's the situation on the Yang family's side now?" Song Xuanting asked.
"What else are you asking me about? The third child and Xingcheng have already been imprisoned, saying that they were imprisoned for the crime of selling smuggled salt and grain. Do you know that this crime is settled, and the third child and Xingcheng are capital crimes, and our Song family will also be implicated. Song Yuan's face turned red when he said he was in a hurry.
"Grandfather, I've already sent someone to inquire about the situation, and there should be news soon." Xingzhi said.
Song Xuanting was cold, and when he heard the sound of Xingzhi, a pair of eyes glared at him fiercely.
"Boss, you still don't tell me the truth." Song Yuan said.
"It's just that there is a big deal in Xuanzhou, and the price of grain and salt is extremely high. Before that, I had already gone to the Yang family to investigate, and now that the Yang family suddenly arrested someone, I don't understand. Song Xuanting said.
Xingzhi sneered in his heart, until now, the eldest uncle still doesn't tell the truth.
"But the news that the Yang family got was that the third uncle sold smuggled grain and salt to the Chen thief who had just entered the second state of Xuanhe, so they started to arrest people!" Xingzhi said coldly.
