Chapter 112: Something Happened in the Salt Depot
If not, how can you lock on to the target so accurately? There is no one else who can make such a careful plan but the emperor.
It also means that the emperor can't be sure exactly which prince is plotting against her, so he made this decision to make all the houses expensive outside the palace.
Thinking of this, Li Youran suddenly had a bad premonition. Will the prince who really committed the murder take this opportunity to frame other princes?
Li Youran thought of this, so he put on a piece of clothing and ran towards the courtyard of the second princess, completely ignoring Xiaohong, who was chasing after him with his shoes.
"I didn't expect your mind to be so meticulous, these things are things I didn't think of......"
After the second princess listened to Li Youran's speculation, she called the guests of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, asking them to be more careful, and not to let the bad guys have a chance.
"Anyway, you are also a lady, how can you be scolded by this yellow-haired girl pointing at her nose, it's too much."
The Prime Minister's wife shook her head and sighed as she spoke.
"If I knew this, I wouldn't have handed over the purchase channel of fine salt to Li Youran."
After Mrs. Xia heard the words of the Prime Minister's wife, her eyes lit up, and now all the fine salt of their Xia family was purchased from Li Youran.
If their Xia family can pass Li Youran and directly bring in fine salt, maybe their Xia family will be able to make some achievements.
When the prime minister's wife saw this, she knew that Mrs. Xia's heart was moved, so she continued.
"It's a pity that Li Youran respects the law and abides by the law, and he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, and there is no reason for a good person to cut off her goods."
"That might be the case."
Redsleeves leaned back on the soft couch and said.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xia looked towards Red Sleeves.
To be honest, Mrs. Xia has always wondered why the Prime Minister's wife is here in Red Sleeves.
However, Mrs. Xia is a smart person, she knows that there are many things that cannot be said by high-ranking families, so she chose to shut up very wisely.
"Actually, it's easy to do, but I don't know where Li Youran's warehouse is where the fine salt storage is."
Although Red Sleeves didn't say exactly what her plan was, Mrs. Xia could guess that it was not far from ten, so she hurriedly said flatteringly when she saw this.
"It's not that hard to do......"
After hearing Mrs. Xia's words, the Prime Minister's wife and Red Sleeves glanced at each other, and the two tacitly agreed.
"Miss, Aunt Tian scolded you before, isn't it good for us to go to Tianfu?"
Xiaohong looked at Li Youran with a worried face, she really couldn't understand why the young lady did this, wasn't this obviously to beg for scolding?
At this time, Li Youran couldn't take care of it so much, and the top priority was to go to Tian Alang and ask him to help think of some countermeasures.
"Shameless little slut, everyone in the capital knows that you have been engaged to someone else, what are you doing when you come to our Tian family to find out about me? Do you have to turn my grandchildren into a daze? ”
The storm came so violently, Li Youran had just come to the gate of Tianfu, and before he had time to report, Aunt Tian rushed out as if she had foreseen it, and scolded Li Youran.
"County Lord......"
The subordinate in charge of guarding the door was a subordinate of Shangshu Mansion before, and he knew that Li Youran's status was noble. Seeing that Tian Niangzi scolded Li Youran, she couldn't help wiping the sweat on her forehead.
"Please go and report to Tian Alang, saying that I have something important to find him."
Li Youran did not anger his subordinates, and said with a smile on his face, after the concierge got Li Youran's orders, he ran faster than Hot Wheels.
"Aunt Tian, I treat you as an elder and tolerate you again and again, but you are even more insulting me."
Li Youran looked at Aunt Tian with cold eyes and continued.
"I didn't expect you to repay me for saving my life, but you will take revenge for such kindness, and your conscience will be at ease?"
Through the experience of these days, Li Youran's nobility is natural, although she is not angry, but her body exudes dignity without anger.
For a while, Tian Niangzi was suddenly a little afraid of Li Youran.
"When will I take revenge?"
Aunt Tian said with a weak heart.
"It is clear that you saved my grandson's life and used this as an excuse to seduce my grandson. I tell you, I will not let your plot succeed. My grandson has a great future, not to mention Miss Qianjin, even the princess is rushing to marry my grandson. ”
When Tian Niangzi talked about the princess, the hatred for Li Youran in her heart deepened a little.
A few days ago, the fourth princess's mansion sent someone to spread the word, saying that if Tian Alang was interested, he would give Tian Alang a back door, so that he could pass the palace test smoothly, win the champion, and then stage a beautiful drama of the champion marrying the princess.
But Tian Alang refused directly without thinking about it, and Aunt Tian was so angry that she stomped her feet, thinking that Sun must still be thinking about Li Youran's vixen in her heart. If not, I will definitely answer it.
Where to find such a good marriage, although the princess is a few years older than her grandson, but several are princesses!
If the grandson wins the champion, after marrying the princess, he will be a concubine, with a noble identity and a glorious ancestor!
"You go quickly, our family Ah Lang won't see you, and you won't come again in the future."
"Grandma, Miss Li is my savior, how can you treat her like this!"
At this moment, Tian Alang greeted him in a panic, and when he heard that his grandmother was scolding Li Youran again, he was anxious and trotted all the way.
"Tian Gongzi, I have something important to discuss with you."
Li Youran didn't have the heart to pay attention to Aunt Tian, after all, she had more important things to do now.
"Miss Li, it's really inconvenient for me to talk here, why don't I go with you!"
Tian Alang was a little embarrassed, if he stayed, his grandmother would definitely say those ugly words again, and he would have to follow Li Youran's thoughts.
"If you dare to follow this vixen today, don't recognize me as a grandmother in the future."
As Mrs. Tian spoke, she started the trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, patting her thighs and crying and screaming.
Tian Alang glanced back, sighed helplessly, turned his head and got into the carriage.
"God damn it, I haven't seen a woman come to the door to seduce a man, it's really shameless!"
When Aunt Tian saw the carriage speeding away, she cried even more fiercely.
Obviously, she has good intentions and hopes that her grandson can have a better future, but her grandson doesn't understand her good intentions, and she is getting closer and closer to Li Youran.
"I've thought about what you're talking about before."
Tian Alang said, so he habitually fiddled with the book in his hand, looked at Li Youran, and said with a smile.
"The emperor is not stupid, maybe all this is within his expectations."
After Li Youran heard Tian Alang's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, thought about it a little, and felt that what Tian Alang said was also very reasonable.
Although he didn't know much about the emperor, judging from what he knew, the emperor was very cautious and suspicious.
"Just do what you arranged before, after all, if you don't make any moves, it will also arouse the emperor's suspicion."
Tian Alang sighed heavily as he spoke.
"I'm afraid the next few days will not be peaceful."
"What do you mean by that?"
Li Youran looked at Tian Alang with a puzzled expression, she didn't know why Tian Alang suddenly said such a thing.
"The country can't be without a king for a day, and he has been assassinated twice in a row, and the emperor must have the idea of establishing a prince, so the princes will definitely have a big battle next."
"Miss, no, our warehouse has been sealed by officers and soldiers."
At this moment, a guy who was in charge of guarding the warehouse ran over in a panic.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Li Youran frowned, how could she not have thought that the warehouse would have problems in this situation.
If the emperor knew that His Royal Highness the Second Prince had so much fine salt in his hands, would he have other thoughts......
"Some people have reported that we are shoddy, adding coarse salt to fine salt, and deceiving consumers."
"Then why are there so many officers and soldiers?"
Such a positive trick has been encountered by Li Youran before, but there is no such a big formation.
"I don't know, young lady, let's go to the warehouse and take a look!"
Li Youran didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly escaped from the warehouse and set off, and Tian Alang also followed Li Youran when he saw this.
After arriving at the scene, Li Youran knew what it meant to be prepared, and saw that these officers and soldiers and the accompanying officials were all well prepared, and it was obvious that the purpose of this trip was to come to her.
"We heard that you are selling illicit salt here, and we were ordered to come and check it out."
The leading official looked at Li Youran and said in a condescending tone.
"I don't know if the official can have a search warrant?"
Li Youran exuded an aura of not being angry but threatening, and looked at the official led by him and continued.
"Fine salt is a precious thing, if it is less than a few thousand taels, you can't afford to pay for it."
originally thought that Li Youran was a woman's family, easy to deal with, but who knew that he was a hard stubble. The official at the head was stunned and said to Li Youran.
"A search warrant will be delivered later."
"In that case, let's wait for the search warrant to come!"
After Li Youran finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Someone, go ask for a search warrant!"
Li Youran was the county lord in the end, and the official didn't dare to break into the warehouse rashly, so he could only order his guards to ask for a search warrant.
After Li Youran entered the warehouse, he ordered his subordinates to lock the door of the warehouse, and then asked people to search it in the fine salt.
The more Li Youran thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the official looked straightforward when he spoke, and he was not afraid of a search at all. When he couldn't find something and was punished, he guessed that someone had hidden something dirty that shouldn't have been.
As Li Youran expected, someone soon found four sacks of coarse salt among the fine salts.
"Miss, what shall we do?"
The imperial court has a clear rule that it is not allowed to sell coarse salt, and those who sell coarse salt will be killed.
"Bring me the stove you used to cook."
Li leisurely commanded unhurriedly.
Just these little tricks, trying to push her into a desperate situation, it is too ridiculous, Li Youran showed a hint of ridicule.
"Red Sleeves, I have done what you told us to do, let's do it with a stroke!"
The prime minister's wife turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said with her eyes closed.
Since the prime minister's wife knew where Red Sleeves lived, she had been asking the mills around her to disguise themselves as women selling mountain goods, passing by in front of the house and selling some rare things.
As the prime minister's wife expected, every time she passed by the red sleeve door, someone would come out to buy some rare mountain goods for the son of the red sleeve.
As everyone knows, these mountain goods were all put in a very small dose of poison by the prime minister's wife, but after a long time, the poison slowly accumulated, and the child died of poison.
I originally thought that this thing was done unconsciously, but I didn't expect Red Sleeves to have more thoughts.
After the child's accidental death, Red Sleeves first checked the child's daily diet and found that the mountain goods were mixed with poison, so he blocked the news.
When Mama passed by the Red Sleeves Mansion again, she directly caught Mama.
There are all human and material evidence, and the prime minister's wife can't shirk it if she wants to.
Although the red sleeves are not important, but this son is the only son of the prime minister, if the prime minister knows his son and is killed by the prime minister's wife, I am afraid that the prime minister's wife will not have a good life in the future.
You have to know that the rabbit is forced. If you're in a hurry, you'll bite someone.
If it had been placed before, the prime minister's wife would not have been so scared, and it would be a big deal to go back to her parents' house.
But now, it seems that the Kung Fu of Protecting the Country intends to dissociate itself from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her mother's family is no longer as enthusiastic about her as before.
So these days, the prime minister's wife is no longer as straightforward as before, but a little worried about her future path.
"What's the hurry, I still have something for you to do."
"Don't go too far!"
The prime minister's wife clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand tightly and said through gritted teeth.
"Queen Mother, don't worry too much, the emperor is a true dragon emperor, and he will definitely be safe."
The eldest girl next to the queen mother Ruyi brought a plate of cut fruit and said comforting to the queen mother.
"Ruyi, you said, I asked for Feng Mansion to marry Li Youran, is this matter right or wrong?"
The queen began to regret a little, whether she was in too much of a hurry to do this.
"What does Niangniang want to do so much, if the emperor doesn't agree, he won't agree to this matter, you just mentioned it."
Ruyi is worthy of being a maid who has been by the queen's side for many years, and one sentence made the queen's mother feel relieved and no longer entangled in this matter.
"Besides, regardless of other places, Miss Li is a smart and clever person, you know that."
After hearing Ruyi's words, the queen nodded.
Indeed, Li Youran is much smarter than an ordinary little girl, although she has never entered the palace, but she can use her intelligence and wisdom to resolve the danger of her companions and rescue people safely and smoothly.
"Thinking about it, among these princes, the one I value most is His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
After the queen finished speaking, she ate a peeled grape under the service of her subordinates.
Some sour, some astringent, just like His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who has a low status.
