When night fell, Suning'er asked Shuang'er and Qin'er to light the lamp, but Zhao Yuanbai hadn't returned yet, she sat at the head of the bed and continued to be stunned.

She thought that if Wen Jiqing could be related to the human tooth case, then Tao Yunshu must have won his favor in this regard, and he was not the kind of person who held it in his hand and threatened others.

Because Tao Yunshu is careful, she will not be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg in such a thing as a bulb to blackmail Wen Jiqing.

In this way, Wen Jiqing could kill her in minutes.

So the only possibility is what channel Tao Yunshu provided for him.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but call Yin Xiu in.

She pondered and asked, "Yin Xiu, do you remember how you and His Royal Highness King Xi were trafficked into Beijing in the first place?" ”

Yin Xiu was a little surprised, stared at her blankly, and frowned tightly:

"The slave maid also remembers not very detailed, I remember that day just after the New Year's Festival, the slave maid and His Royal Highness and the whole caravan set off from Silla, because the land route is not passable, we detoured for more than a month, and when we were about to arrive at the port of Guangzhou, there was a heavy fog on the sea, and then it was plundered, the royal caravan of more than 100 people suffered heavy losses, and all the silver and goods worth hundreds of thousands of yuan were robbed, and the surviving caravan members were also sold to various places."

After a pause, she looked at Suning'er and said gratefully: "If it weren't for Mrs., the slave and the highness probably wouldn't know where they would have gone now." ”

Suning'er has a number of royal caravans of more than 100 people and hundreds of thousands of silver coins in her heart, and if she wants to get it, this is not something that ordinary pirates can do.

What's more, it is near the port of Guangzhou, where the pirates are inseparable from the locals.

Yin Xiu said: "The slave maid once heard His Royal Highness King Xi say that the sea route was not accessible a few years ago because of the rampant piracy, and when the ancestor was in power, he also tried his best to clean up the pirates along the coast, so there is now a warm sea route, but even if it improves, there are still many caravans that have been plundered." ”

"Well, I know", Suning'er raised her eyes and looked at her: "His Royal Highness King Xi has been back to Silla for many days, have you heard of him?" ”

Yin Xiu shook his head blankly: "The slave doesn't know, the caravan suffered heavy losses last year, and I am afraid that His Highness will have to wait until after the end of the year to re-plan to enter the Celestial Empire." ”

Suning'er nodded slowly, just at this moment, Zhao Yuanbai had already returned from outside, and when she called Yin Xiu to ask, she said puzzledly: "How can Madam care about the affairs of His Royal Highness King Xi, isn't it that Sufu's silk wants to trade with Silla this year?" ”

Suning Er retreated from Yin Xiu and replied indifferently: "What do you think, the amount of silk needed in the DPRK and China this year is huge, how can there be any surplus goods to sell to Hu Shang, I went back to my house today and heard from the second uncle that today's silk is several times higher than usual, and the supply is very tight, and there has been a phenomenon of looting on the market." ”

Zhao Yuanbai washed his hands and smiled disappreciatively: "The silk of your Su family is not affordable for ordinary people, and those who can rob it must be some big families, but your uncle is really insatiable, and even the silk paid into the palace has raised the price a lot." ”

In this matter, Su Ning'er has persuaded Su Jing several times, but the helpless thing is that she is now a member of the Zhao family after all, and she can't manage the affairs of the Su family, and she can't reverse the businessman's profit-oriented nature.

So when Zhao Yuanbai said this, she couldn't refute it.

Zhao Yuanbai came over and sat beside her:

"Madame doesn't have to worry about these external things, such a big gimmick must not be something that your second uncle can lead, he is only a silk producer after all, I'm afraid it's still the calculation of the Beiya party, take the silver money of the imperial court to help the disaster and produce silk, and let the court spend a high price to buy silk back, it's really a deep calculation, it's a pity that your second uncle doesn't have that courage, if he really has the heart, this year's silk of the Su family will definitely be able to stabilize the market market, and also be able to tide over the difficulties for the imperial court, regardless of his north and south ya."

Su Ning'er glanced at him angrily, this stunned young man can naturally do things vigorously, but Su Jing is not him after all.

Zhao Yuanbai stared at her carefully, saw that there were some dark circles under her eyes, and heard about a lot of things that had happened in the house recently, so he comforted her warmly: "Don't worry about your uncle's affairs, I heard that he also donated a lot of silver money to the household department, but it is not a black heart, and Mrs. is restless today, presumably it is not because of this matter." ”

After a pause, he looked outside the courtyard again: "Just now I entered the door and heard Madame talking about His Royal Highness King Hee and the Silla caravan not to loot, could it be that Madame is going to make decisions for the Silla people?" ”

Su Ning'er pushed him angrily: "Husband, don't make fun of me, how can I have such a powerful ability as a woman, I just feel curious to ask." ”

"My A-Ning is naturally capable", Zhao Yuanbai pinched her palm and said proudly: "It is not something ordinary people can do to bring out the decree of the saint from such a chaotic situation and help the saint pass on the edict." ”

Hearing him mention this, Su Ning'er was afraid, if it wasn't for Zheng Guogong, if it weren't for this stunned young man, I am afraid that he would have already confessed to the hands of that group of rebels, how could he still have the leisure to listen to him here.

Zhao Yuanbai was silent for a moment, looked at her, and his voice suddenly became soft: "Ah Ning, I heard that Tao Jiuniang has been giving gifts everywhere in the mansion recently, and she actually stretched out her hand to Ning Yuan's side, but is there such a thing?" ”

"She just felt that she offended the elders in each room when she entered the house, and she was afraid of being neglected, so she spent some money to buy peace of mind."

Suning'er was afraid that he would bother with this matter again, so she had to pretend to talk to him lightly.

"I thought it was a little strange when she first entered the door, but now this door is buying people's hearts with great fanfare, and I'm afraid it doesn't have any good intentions."

"Don't be suspicious, she has a lot of money in her Tao family, let her leave it to her if she likes it", Suning'er got up and widened his robe for him, and asked Shuang'er to bring a nourishing soup: "You are tired and running around outside, don't think about these things when you go back to the house." ”

Zhao Yuanbai absentmindedly drank a few mouthfuls of soup, his face was gloomy, and he was still a little uneasy: "It's better to be more careful, after all, there is a Wen Jiqing behind her; Besides, I'm afraid that Gorou will be deceived by her and do something harmful to the family with her. ”

"Gorou was always raised by his husband and mother-in-law, I don't think he will know right from wrong," Suning'er said softly.

"I hope so."

After washing, the lights were turned off and lying on the bed, both of them silently guessing Tao Yunshu's intentions.

Although Suninger knew that the husband and wife could not hide anything, what she guessed was not enough to prove that Tao Yunshu and Wen Jiqing were colluded, let alone to bring down the Beiya party.

She didn't want Zhao Yuanbai to worry about it anymore, everything still needed conclusive evidence.
