Chapter Thirty-Six: Tricked
According to Mu Chengzhou's instructions, Feng Bao was dressed neatly all the time, and it was precisely because of this that Dong Ji did not see the inappropriateness of the person on the bed through the tent veil.
She took out a prescription from her sleeve, which was the 'three-step dream' given to her by the black-robed man, and it was said that this medicine could make people unable to wake up.
Although the person on the couch was asleep, Dong Ji couldn't help but be careful, this was her most important and last chance to conceive a dragon heir. She threw the medicine/powder into the teapot and shook it gently, then poured out a cup of tea,
Stop on the side of the curtain and greet softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has made a peace tea for you, you can drink it and then go to sleep." β
Feng Bao was woken up by her, and suddenly remembered the identity he was playing now, and secretly scolded Yanzi in his heart, this monkey cub must have accepted a bribe to let this crazy woman in.
What soothing tea? Lao Tzu slept soundly, but you made Lao Tzu uneasy!
Feng Bao got up and couldn't get angry, but everyone came, so they quickly accepted her filial piety tea and drove her out!
He sat up, his clothes in a deep voice, and wrapped himself in a quilt, "Well, bring me a drink." β
Dong Ji walked into the front of the couch and bowed over.
Feng Bao stretched out his hand from the quilt to pick it up, his fingers looked much rougher than Mu Chengzhou's because of his work, but fortunately, Dong Ji had not carefully observed Mu Chengzhou's hand, and mistakenly thought that this was honed by the emperor's mastery of riding and archery.
Feng Bao drank all the tea, smacked his lips and said, "Okay, you go down." β
Dong Ji pressed her excitement, turned around and began to take steps.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Just as she counted the third step, Feng Bao's head swelled and dizzy, and he collapsed with a bang.
Dong Ji looked back at him, and while secretly sighing that the medicine given by the benefactor was really magical, she climbed onto the dragon couch.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is also a last resort." Dong Ji took off her dress, "The first emperor is useless, and the concubine can only work hard for you in order to protect herself." β
As she spoke, she got into the quilt, and was just about to lean over to kiss her, when suddenly her beautiful eyes widenedβ
Where is this couch man who is the handsome Mu Chengzhou? The white face is beardless, thin as dry firewood, and he is clearly a eunuch who she hates!
"Ahh Dong Ji screamed in surprise and fell down in fright.
Xiao Huan outside the door heard an exclamation from the house, and hurriedly came in to check. Seeing that her family Dong Ji was flustered, she anxiously wanted to find out the situation, but she couldn't speak, she could only make a 'woo' tone.
Dong Ji clenched Xiao Huan's hand tightly, and pointed at the dragon couch like a ghost, "He's not the emperor....... The emperor is not in the palace! β
Xiao Huan stared at the person on the couch in shock, 'woo' twice, meaning how could this be?
Dong Jiliu's eyebrows were raised, and she picked up her dress and put it on with hatred, "Damn Yang Leyu, she must have hooked the emperor's heart." I heard from her benefactor that she went to Yungang this time for state affairs, and the emperor must have been worried about her, so he also followed! β
Xiao Huan whimpered and was in a hurry.
Dong Ji thought about it and patted the back of her hand, "It's okay, that fox girl has been proud for a few days, and I have already thought of a wonderful method." β
She looked at Xiao Huan, "The breakthrough is on Lord Qian's daughter." β
.
Yungang, a scene full of spring.
The spring breeze is light and the clouds are close to the water, and the swallows are in a hurry to build their nests. There were countless merchant ships anchored in the port, and merchants and peddlers took advantage of this opportunity to trade in their sleeves in order to make more profits.
Jiang Ben stopped the carriage, and the three women in the carriage got out of the carriage and watched by the river.
Qian Ling: "Sister Yang, which merchant ship are we going to investigate?" β
"Ruyi." Yang Leyu said that she also listened to what Master Wu said.
Qian Ling: "It's much easier to know the name, why don't we just go and check the name of the ship at anchor?" β
Yang Leyu agreed with her point of view, so she came to the Port Supervision Department and asked to check and verify them one by one.
The petty official of the Supervision Department said disdainfully: "Your identities are unknown, and I can't agree." β
Qian Ling was an anxious person, and immediately showed his tooth card to him, "Oh! I'm the eldest lady of the Qian family, isn't that enough proof? β
When the junior officer of the Supervision Department saw the sign, he immediately changed his smiling face, "It turned out to be my own eldest lady, the eldest lady waits, and the small one will take you to find the 'Ruyi number'." β
Yang Leyu secretly said that Master Wu did not lie, it seems that the Qian family really bought Yungang's connections early in the morning to facilitate the fishing of oil and water.
It's just that she still doesn't know a little, tax evasion is a big fault, how can Qian Heng bear to kill his relatives with righteousness?
The junior officer of the Supervision Department led a few people to the large and small ships docking, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Miss, please look, these are Ruyi." β
Yang Leyu was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of his hand, there must be at least more than ten ships there, and the Ruyi doesn't even refer to just one?!
Gan Tang was puzzled: "What's going on?" β
The petty official smiled: "The nobles have just set foot in Yungang, and some things are still unclear. The Ruyi originally refers to the fleet, and if you want to investigate them one by one, you will naturally do it at will, but these ships will leave the port in less than half an hour. β
Yang Leyu frowned and stared, realizing that she had been tricked. It is impossible to investigate more than ten merchant ships in half an hour, it turns out that Qian Heng didn't want to kill his relatives in righteousness at all, he dug a pit to make himself jump!
This pit is bottomless, one is that he advocated to investigate the case, if he fails, he is also the one who is condemned, and it has nothing to do with Qian Heng; Second, Qian Heng may have guessed what Mu Chengzhou meant to him, so he just pushed the boat down the river, and then let Qian Ling take the place.
No wonder the Queen Mother is also quite optimistic about Qian Ling, it turns out that she and Qian Heng are of the same mind!
Yang Leyu felt deeply in a difficult situation, and just when she was stubbornly asking for a comparison of goods, Qian Ling took out an account book from her arms.
Qian Ling said: "Sister Yang, look at this, this is what my father sent to me, maybe I can help you." β
Yang Leyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened it to see, and it clearly recorded every transaction of every ship in the past five years.
"Thank you, sister!" Yang Leyu hugged her gratefully, with this account book, she could find out what went wrong without much effort.
However, the petty official of the Supervision Department suddenly shouted: "Someone! Arrest this woman who embezzles and evades taxes! β
When the officials heard this, they rushed up with long sticks as if they had been ready for a long time, and surrounded several people.
Gan Tang exclaimed: "Concubine, what's going on?!" β
Yang Leyu cautiously stared at the junior officer of the Supervision Department, "What nonsense are adults talking about?" I'm a newcomer, how can I be a corrupt person? β
The petty official of the Supervision Department smiled slightly: "If you are not a corrupt person, how can you carry fake accounts with you?" β
Yang Leyu looked down at the account book in his hand and pondered carefully.
After a while, she raised her eyes to look at Qian Ling, "Sister, when did you get this account book?" β
Qian Ling didn't know, "Just when we were in Kuizhou, after we tried on clothes. β
That's it! Yang Leyu suddenly understood. In Kuizhou, the dwarf she met pretended to remind her to be careful of Qian Ling, but in fact, that person was sent by Qian Heng to separate their sisterhood!
