Li Shanchang frowned, and asked suspiciously:

"What do you have in mind?"

Hu Weiyong leaned close to Li Shanchang's ear and whispered:

"Eun Gong, we can ......"

.....

At this time, Zhu Tong was inspecting the incident of selling refined salt the day before yesterday in the salt factory.

The salt factory has prepared four truckloads of refined salt, ready to go to the Metropolitan Salt Transportation Division to sell.

Zhu Tong immediately stopped the groom and set around the salt cart for a while.

"Get the salt out of the car!"

Zhu Tong said.

"Boss, why is that? We're not selling? ”

The guy in charge of selling the face asked suspiciously.

Zhu Tong shook his head and did not answer, and continued to order people to carry the salt back to the factory, and after a while, Xu Yi led several people into the factory, carrying a few bags of white starch on their backs.

Under Zhu Tong's guidance, several people mixed starch into refined salt, and after diluting it for a while, a worker asked:

"Boss, what is this, why do you want to get into it?"

Zhu Tong smiled and said:

"You can sell as I tell you to do without asking."

After saying that, Zhu Tong left the salt field and returned home, after this toss, most of the time has passed, presumably Queen Ma can't wait in the palace.

Just as he was about to pack up the medical kit, an official came in outside the door, and the official was sweating profusely holding on to the door and said:

"Xiao Langjun, why don't you say a word to the little one after you change the house, the little one ran over from the east of the city after he was so energetic."

"Look at the little one, this sweaty body, let's go quickly, we have already delayed boiling medicine for the queen's mother, and the little one will be punished after a while."

Zhu Tong simply cleaned up and followed the official into the palace.

Qianning Palace.

Queen Ma was anxious when she saw that Zhu Tong had not come for a long time, so she sent another group to investigate, and she came to the corridor to wait if she was not at ease, and then the prince also came over.

Seeing that his mother was anxious, he stepped forward and asked:

"Mother, why are you worried?"

"Biao'er, your eldest brother hasn't come yet, and the people we sent out haven't come back for a long time, can this not make people worry?"

Queen Ma said as she paced back and forth.

Prince Zhu Biao hesitated for a while, and suddenly thought of the eldest brother's change of house, so he said:

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry, the eldest brother just changed the house not long ago, and the official errand may not know, so it is normal to spend more time, and it is common for the eldest brother to be unable to leave for a while when the salt farm needs to be operated."

"So the queen mother doesn't have to worry too much, the eldest brother will come in a while."

Queen Ma listened to Zhu Biao's words, and her anxious heart slowly calmed down.

"It's okay! It's okay! ”

Queen Ma was in a hurry just now and didn't have time to think about it, so she asked:

"Isn't Biao'er helping your father deal with the government at this hour? How do you have time to come to the queen mother, is there something going on? ”

Due to today's refined salt smuggling, my father has not had time to see the queen mother, and he is also very busy, so he finally found a little time to see the queen mother.

After greeting the queen mother, you need to go back immediately to discuss the government with your father.

"After returning to his mother, the sons just came to say goodbye to the queen mother, and casually took a look at the recovery of the queen mother."

Zhu Biao said.

At this moment, the eunuch said in a shrill voice:

"Queen Mother, Zhu Tong Xiaolangjun has arrived and is waiting outside the hall."

Zhu Biao took the lead and said:

"Come in!"

After a while, Zhu Tong followed the eunuch along the corridor and watched Zhu Tong come in, Zhu Biao waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

Now I haven't recognized my eldest brother yet, and there are others who will inevitably make my eldest brother feel restrained, so I still retreat everyone so that we can enhance our brothers' relationship.

"The grass people say hello to the queen mother, and please say hello to your highness!"

Zhu Tong arched his hand.

"Big brother doesn't have to be so outside, come and sit down with me."

Zhu Biaodao.

The three of them walked straight to the stone table in front of the courtyard as they spoke, and Zhu Biao asked the eldest brother:

"Big brother, is the queen mother in this state now?"

"Although the queen's phoenix body is fine, she needs to go outside often to relax, and she can't live in the palace for a long time, and the cold air in Qianning Palace is a little heavy."

"Then can the eldest brother accompany his mother to relax?"

Zhu Tong looked at the prince in amazement, thinking to himself, how could the prince let me take care of his mother as an outsider?

Before Zhu Tong could speak, the prince saw Zhu Tong's concerns and explained:

"Big brother, little brother really can't get out, recently Jinyi Wei found a stream of refined salt smuggling, and my father and I are busy with this case, and I can't get out"

"And I really don't worry about letting my subordinates go out with my mother, there will be Brother Lao!"

Zhu Tong was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect the emperor's news to be so well-informed, and the smuggling was detected so quickly, the prince treated me like a brother, I should give him a little help within my ability.

Then he said to the prince:

"Your Highness, I know a thing or two about smuggling salt."

Zhu Biao was instantly woken up by Zhu Tong's words, the eldest brother must have understood something about the salt making business, so he asked:

"Oh? Big brother talk about it. ”

Zhu Tong paused for a moment and said:

"A few days ago, a group of richly dressed people forcibly bought my salt, and I thought there was a problem, so I went to the salt factory early this morning to make some hands and feet on the salt that was just ready to be sold."

"I add some special starch to salt, as long as someone comes into contact with this batch of Yan, it is difficult to eliminate the traces within five days, and it will leave a faint taste on the body."

Zhu Tong said and reached out and took out a packet of white powder and handed it to the prince, who took it and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and sneezed instantly.

His face instantly became very happy, and he said:

"Big brother, you have made another great contribution, with this case, it will be solved soon, I won't accompany you first."

"Goodbye!"

Saying that, Zhu Biao trotted all the way to the Qianqing Palace to report the situation to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was so excited that he forgot to salute his father.

"Father, there is a way, there is a clue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried in front of the bookcase, and when he heard the news of the prince, he hurriedly stood up and looked at Zhu Biao expectantly.

Zhu Biao told Zhu Yuanzhang the ins and outs of the matter word for word, and Zhu Yuanzhang's sad face became much happier after hearing it.

Then he said:

"Good! It's really our good son, and he actually has such a good way. ”

"Hurry up and announce Yang Xian's entry into the palace, we have something important to tell him."

When the eunuch heard the order, he hurriedly came to the procuratorate to summon Yang Xian, and Yang Xian followed the eunuch to the Qianqing Palace with a blank face.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was pacing back and forth on the ground, and when he saw Yang Xian coming, he immediately sat down next to the bookcase, and his expression instantly became much more serious, and he looked at Yang Xian coldly.

"Weichen see Your Majesty!" Yang Xiandao.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Get up, how is the case investigated?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has sent people to various ferries and checkpoints to strictly investigate, and also ordered people to go to the nearby salt works and the Duzhuan Salt Transportation Division to investigate the production and sale of salt."

"Presumably there will be results tonight." Yang Xian said.

Zhu Biao asked curiously, "So fast?" It can't be, right? ”

Yang Xian said: "Your Highness don't worry, the minister ordered the officials in charge of the investigation to correct the law on the spot if the results cannot be found today, and everyone is afraid of death, and there will be results in the evening." ”

Zhu Biao frowned instantly, "That's ...... Something is wrong, right? ”
