Chapter 136: The Scourge
"You don't have to tell me that." Qiao Mianzhi couldn't think of this, and put the Qinggang Yuanyue Knife on the table, "Just say what you need me to do." โ
Tian Ling's expression was originally a little solemn, but he suddenly smiled.
"Aren't you afraid that you will help me and go back to be put in small shoes by the eldest prince?"
"Can the eldest prince manage to Gyeonggi Wei? Besides, you are now the person under His Majesty's cover, between Your Majesty and the prince, do you need to say which side you are standing on? "Qiao Mianzhi is not as complicated as Tianling thinks, and she will hug whoever has thick thighs.
"Thank you." Qiao Mianzhi's protection and unreserved trust along the way moved Tianling very much.
"Thank you for not needing, is there still beef jerky?" Qiao Mianzhi stepped forward, "Give me some?" โ
"After I return to Beijing, I will send you to the house." Tianling slapped Qiao Mianzhi's outstretched hand, "I didn't see you so greedy when I first met." โ
"Gluttony for this thing, how to say it, it is to follow the knowledge, when I haven't eaten good things, three meals a day is to fill my stomach, but after trying good things, I know that these ordinary things can also be enjoyed so much, so when I can't eat, I think every day, the so-called food marrow knows the taste, and I never forget, this is the truth." Qiao Mianzhi looked at Tianling and said seriously, "Can people who love food be greedy?" It's called enjoying life. โ
"Enjoying life can also make people more eloquent, which is amazing." Tianling pointed to Qiao Mianzhi's green steel round moon knife, "When the weather is a little warmer, take your treasure knife with us, let's go to the suburbs to enjoy life, barbecue in the open air, have you eaten?" โ
Qiao Mianzhi's eyes lit up, "Just for this, I will also escort you back to Beijing safely!" โ
No one would have thought that later Qiao Mianzhi changed her career because of an open-air barbecue, giving up her position as the head of the Gyeonggi Health Department with a great future and becoming a personal guard!
When the eighth prince came back, Tianling was still reading in the room, Qiao Mianzhi just accepted the last form of a knife technique, everything was just right, the eighth prince did not doubt him, and pretended to open the door of Tianling's room, "What about reading?" I'm going to Ostoxy, what's going on? โ
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." Tianling put down the book, "How did Mr. Gu calculate the hexagram?" How much silver is a hexagram? โ
"It depends on what you measure." The eighth prince walked to Tianling and sat down, glanced at the book that Tianling was reading, it was actually the book used in the Mengxue Hall of the Mountain Academy, and he was a little surprised.
"Measure what the seized goods are, how many they have, and how much they can be taken away." Heavenly Spirit Dao.
"A thousand taels of silver." The eighth prince sat on the ground and started the price.
"Oh." The Celestial Spirit picked up the book he had put down, "Maybe I should read more." โ
"What does it have to do with how much you read?" The eighth prince asked.
"If you don't study much, you will be cheated out of money." Tianling said, "If you read more, you will know that even if the hexagram can measure the good fortune, it will not solve the problem." โ
"One thousand taels of silver, how about I sell you the news in the city of Chongzhou?" The Eighth Prince looked at Tianling, "With your intelligence, you should know that my news will not be false." โ
"No, you don't." Tianling shook his head, he wanted to know what kind of information, just let Wang Xiping go for a trip, he needed money to buy it?
But these can't be known to the Eighth Prince, so Tianling directly threw out two words, "No money!" โ
"I don't believe this, the industry in your hand is making money day by day, how can you have no money?"
"Since Mr. Gu can pinch and calculate, how can he not calculate, except for the money sent away, the rest is used for the maintenance of official roads?" Tianling stood up, "If it weren't for the lack of money, why would I bother to take over this mess in Chongzhou?" โ
No matter how the Eighth Prince fooled, Tianling did not let go, and the angry Eighth Prince put down his arrogance, "Do you know that my news is generally priced at two thousand taels?" A lot of people can't buy it even if they beg to buy it! โ
As a result, he was chased by Tianling and asked, what news is sold? Who will buy it? Is there a dedicated trading venue? The government doesn't care? Will it be seized? Have you ever asked for a refund due to inaccurate messages?
The eighth prince was asked and hid out, and in Tianling's heart, he read and recited the four words of news trading.
If the court doesn't care, maybe this is a doorway?
Once the post in his hand was built, it was scattered in the base areas of all states and counties across the country, and what could be more convenient than the circulation of commercial goods to inquire about the transmission of news?
The intelligence transaction is a huge profit, but Tianling thought about it, and dispelled this idea, the eighth prince is obviously the emperor's eyes outside the temple, from the eight prince's words, it can be inferred that he has an intelligence network in his hand, if he makes an intelligence agency himself, he will be suspicious of the emperor, not to mention, the post in his hand, I am afraid that I can't keep it!
However, if you don't do this business, the affairs of this intelligence network can be planned and planned, and the road is long, so you can be prepared.
After entering Chongzhou City, Tianling did not rush to the official mansion, but took Wang Xiping and Qiao Mianzhi to walk around the city, eat, drink and have fun, and returned to the inn satisfied.
In the dead of night, a black and white kitten leaped down from the roof of the inn and headed towards the government of Chongzhou.
The kitten deftly crossed the wall of the mansion, passed through the lobby, and swaggered towards the treasury.
When the patrolling guards saw Wang Xiping, they just wondered where the wild cat came from, and they didn't take it seriously at all, and turned around and continued to inspect other places.
The door of the treasury was locked, Wang Xiping circled twice, and did not find that there was a place to enter, the green light flashed in the cat's eyes, and he scanned that there was a loose tile on the roof of the treasury, Wang Xiping jumped up, jumped on the roof of the treasury, lifted the loose tile, and jumped in.
Wang Xiping thought indignantly, if it had been changed before, it would have directly transformed into a cloud and floated in! If it weren't for the storage of energy to restart the function, I wouldn't have done this kind of thing of going to the house to uncover the tiles!
The master's order to himself was to find the goods that had been seized by the eldest prince by the treasury, and then bring them back to him after understanding the quantity and category of the goods.
During the day, Tianling took Wang Xiping and Qiao Mianzhi to go shopping together and learned that the seizure of merchants' goods by the Chongzhou government occurred from time to time, and the seized goods were placed in the treasury of the Chongzhou government.
Wang Xiping shuttled flexibly among the items stacked in the treasury, and when scanning the contents of the seal, he also turned on the video function and the camera function at the same time.
"Compared with the time of seizure, it does not match."
"Compared with the name of the seized businessman, it does not match."
"Compared with the types of seized goods, it does not meet."
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Wang Xiping looked all the way according to the seizure time and the name of the seized merchant given by Tianling, but none of them were right.
"Wang Fannian, Wang Fannian, which corner have you shrunk into?" When the entire treasury was about to finish, Wang Xiping stopped in front of a row of pockets stacked side by side.
"Compared with the seizure time, it is in line."
"Compare the name of the seized businessman, yes."
"Compare the types of goods seized, none?"
The seal does not say that it is a precious medicinal material, but the time and name are correct, it should be this.
Wang Xiping stretched out his claws, exposed his sharp nails, and scratched the pocket with one claw, and a green walnut-sized ball rolled out of it instantly, probably because it had been placed for a long time, some of the green balls began to turn brown and black, emitting a rancid smell, and some of them rolled to the ground and broke the skin, bursting out of white slurry.
Wang Xiping grabbed the pocket next to him again, and saw that the things inside were completely different from the bag of green balls just now, it was a brown dry shell, looking at the texture, it should be made by drying the green balls.
Wang Xiping turned these things over and over inside and out for imaging and preservation, and then left the treasury.
In the inn, Tianling sat on the bed, not sleeping, he was waiting for Wang Xiping to come back.
"Master, I'm back!" Wang Xiping knew the sound of the sea, "Hurry up and open the door for me!" โ
"Did you find it?" Heavenly Spirit let Wang Xiping in from outside the door.
"Ben Meow is out of the horse, a top two, of course I found it!"
After Tianling closed the door, he turned to Wang Xiping and said, "Come and show me." โ
Wang Xiping threw the videos and photos taken in the treasury into the sea of heavenly spirits, "Master, this is it." โ
"This is it!" Heavenly Spirit's face was very ugly after seeing the contents of his pocket.
"What is this?" Wang Xiping saw that Tianling's face was not good-looking, and asked out loud, "Is there something wrong with something?" โ
"That bag of brown dried shells, called Yumi husks, can indeed be used in medicine, but this thing is very addictive." The Celestial Spirit replied.
"The backward and civilized people are really miserable." Wang Xiping said, "I didn't exterminate this kind of thing." โ
"Your world doesn't have one?" Tianling patted Wang Xiping's head, "What else is a backward civilization?" Without these civilizations, you can't be made! โ
Wang Xiping shrank his head and changed the topic, "There is no such thing in my world, and even if there is, it is banned by the government of the world in an unknown place, and in my world, all plants that are harmful to humans will not appear in people's field of vision." โ
"No wonder you don't recognize it." Tian Ling said, "It is estimated that the world country where you are located has directly defined it as a harmful plant and has been extinct. โ
"Master, the one who was originally scheduled to go to the government tomorrow to pick up the goods, will you still go?" Wang Xiping asked.
"Of course not." Tianling got into the quilt, "The eldest prince who has suffered a thousand knives, if you do this kind of business that has lost your conscience, the ghost will go to bring the goods to him." Sleep sleep! โ
The next day, Qiao Mianzhi found Tianling early, "When will you leave to pick up the goods?" โ
"I'm not going." Tianling said, "If the eldest prince's business is problematic, the goods will be placed in the official mansion." โ
Although Qiao Mianzhi was very puzzled why Tianling suddenly didn't go to the government to pick up the goods, but in his eyes, Tianling had never had a charter for acting, so at this moment, when he heard Tianling say that he didn't go to the government, he didn't feel that there was anything inside.
"It's okay not to go, I met Mr. Gu when I first came over, and he asked me to tell you that it was best not to go to the government to pick up the goods." Qiao Mianzhi said.
"You paid him for the news?" Tianling looked at Qiao Mianzhi and said.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Qiao Mianzhi pouted, "He took the initiative to tell me about it." โ
"Interesting." Tianling smiled, "He is actually willing to give me news for free, it seems that His Majesty is on my side!" Even if I can't do this errand given to me by the eldest prince, Your Majesty will not punish me. โ
As long as the emperor doesn't blame him, on the side of the eldest prince, the heavenly spirit doesn't take it to heart, the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and there is nothing to fear if he asks for nothing on his side, not to mention, the emperor will protect himself now.
"Then when you finish the post service, we will leave for Beijing." Qiao Mianzhi said.
"There's one more thing we need to do besides that." Tian Ling took out a piece of paper from his body, "This is the place where the goods need to be delivered this time, I want to see how these people deal with the goods after they get them." โ
"It's an important thing." Tianling continued, "We were wandering around the city yesterday, I don't know if you noticed, most of the rich children in Chongzhou City are relatively depressed, and they don't look energetic at all. โ
"What does this have to do with this?" Qiao Mianzhi said, "It is common for rich children to have money and leisure to lose their bodies, not only in Chongzhou, but also in which state you go to see, it is like this, the reason why Pingjing City is better is because it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and those gentlemen are more restrained and dare not be too presumptuous." โ
"That's not the reason." Qiao Mianzhi didn't know about the matter of the rice shell, and Tianling had no way to explain the news brought back by Wang Xiping to Qiao Mianzhi directly.
Tianling's plan before going to bed last night was the same as what Qiao Mianzhi said today, and he would go back to the capital when the matter of the post post was understood.
But after hearing the news brought to him by the Eighth Prince, Tianling changed his mind.
The harm of the rice husk is extremely great, and if the situation is allowed to develop, the consequences are unimaginable.
The eldest prince lost this batch of goods, which does not mean that he will not do this business in the future.
He saw those young people on the street yesterday dressed in fancy clothes with pale faces, and combined with the rumors, he wondered if these people were infected with something that should not be dyed.
After seeing the videos and photos brought back by Wang Xiping at night, he was convinced that these people had smoked that thing.
Originally, I wanted to quietly look around to see if I could find the source, and then destroy these things and leave, but now, Tianling still wants to see through whom these things have been sold.
If we do not uproot this chain of interests that hurt nature and reason, and only destroy a batch of them, I am afraid that the wildfires will not be burned and the spring breeze will blow again, and the future will be endless.
"How?" Qiao Mianzhi didn't ask much, he was like this to Tianling, he didn't ask the reason for many things, he only asked what he needed to do and how to do it.
"We still need to go to the government later, but instead of picking up the goods, we will tell the government that we can help them find the people behind this business, from the buyers to the buyers, and find out all for them, so that they can no longer harm anyone!" I think that the government of Chongzhou should also be helpless about this matter now, at this time, we go over and ask them to cooperate, and they should agree. "Heavenly Spirit Dao.
