Chapter 484: Capture the thief and capture the king first
Yu asked after him.
"Where did you get the news?"
Wei Xiao deliberately sold off: "Our Heavenly Wolf Guard has its own news channel, so we don't need to tell you." β
Xiao Ti asked in a deep voice: "If there is really an iron mine in Liangzhou, it will definitely require a large number of people to mine it, and it just so happens that the eldest princess of Niyang has arrested a lot of people to serve in the conscription on the grounds of searching for the head. β
Wei Xiao said lazily.
"In my opinion, robbing the people is just an illusion used by the eldest princess of Niyang to confuse the public, and her real purpose is to collect enough people to mine iron ore for herself."
Yu Xuan suddenly realized.
"If that's the case, then Ling Hai and Ling Miao's family should also be arrested to mine iron ore, as long as we can find the location of the iron mine, we can help them find their families."
Wei Xiao unceremoniously poured cold water on her.
"It's not that simple! What we just said is just speculation, and it is not even certain whether the iron mine really exists, so how to find the exact address of the iron mine? β
Xiao Ti thought thoughtfully: "What is the purpose of their iron ore mining?" β
Wei Xiao leaned back and sneered: "It's not to sell pots for iron." β
Yu Yuanrong remembered that he had spent a lot of money to buy iron pots and kitchen knives, which shows that iron ore is an extremely precious resource in this era.
Owning an iron mine is tantamount to owning a mountain of gold.
She asked at Wei Xiao.
"You just said that the chief prince of Niyang is going to rebel, what is going on?"
Wei Xiao spread his hands and analyzed slowly.
"Isn't that obvious?
The eldest princess of Niyang used Wang Jun to control Wang Jian'an, forcing Wang Jian'an to be deaf and dumb.
By doing so, she was separating Liangzhou from the imperial court, so that the imperial court could no longer know about the changes in the situation in Liangzhou.
She also killed the pony and hid the iron ore, and maybe even the stolen silver was swallowed by her.
She is a princess, she has no shortage of food or clothing, and she can enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of her life.
But if she wants to take such a big risk to play such a big game of chess, she must have a great plan.
Doesn't she love to see your painting "The Legend of Fengming"?
I guess she should be very envious of the queen in the book.
She also wants to be like the heroine in the book, to stand at the pinnacle of power, and to trample all the men who think highly of themselves under their feet. β
In fact, the reason why he became suspicious of the eldest princess of Niyang was a holy decree quietly conveyed to him by his adoptive father Wei Huaien before he left Yujing.
The emperor ordered him to keep an eye on Xiao Ti, and once Xiao Ti and the eldest princess of Niyang made any moves, he would be killed!
At first, he didn't understand why the emperor wanted to do this.
When he came to Jinwu City and met the eldest princess of Niyang, he gradually understood the meaning.
Maybe the emperor has long been suspicious of the eldest princess of Niyang, he is worried that his half-sister will seek to usurp the throne, but because Liangzhou is too far away from Yujing, he can't do anything about this matter, so he can only let Wei Yu go to Liangzhou instead of him.
Everything Wei Yu found after that further confirmed his guess from the side.
These words are reasonable, and Yu Yuanyu believes it a little.
She hasn't been with the eldest princess of Niyang for a long time, but she can also feel that the eldest princess of Niyang is the kind of character who is unwilling to succumb to others, and her strength is even better than that of many men.
Ordinary people don't dare to think about such a thing as rebellion, but if it is replaced by the eldest princess of Niyang, it may be.
Xiao Ti said expressionlessly.
"That's just your guess."
Wei Xiao smiled: "It's really just speculation, but you already believe it, don't you?" β
Xiao Ti was silent.
Yu Yuan was very worried, if the eldest princess of Niyang really wanted to rebel, what should Xiao Ti do?
Even though everyone knows that their mother-son relationship is not good, in this era when filial piety is greater, it is still impossible to erase the blood relationship between them.
Once the eldest princess of Niyang rebelled, regardless of whether she succeeded in the end or not, Xiao Ti would fall into an unkind and unjust situation.
Her hand reached under the table and rested on the back of Xiao Ti's hand.
Xiao Ti looked sideways at her.
He saw worry and concern in her eyes.
Wei Xiao spoke again, drawing their attention back to it.
"What's next for you?"
Xiao Ti was still silent.
Wei Yu was very helpless: "It's all this time, do you still want to fight alone?" β
Under the table, Yu Yuan held Xiao Ti's hand a little bit, and told him silently-
No matter what his choice is, she will always support him.
Xiao Ti felt the temperature coming from the back of his hand, and his silent attitude melted little by little.
"I already met Wang Jian'an last night, and he said that the eldest princess of Niyang and Yuangui had already colluded together, and the missing dirty silver was likely to have fallen into their hands."
Wei Xiao smacked his tongue: "Tsk, that's true!" β
Yu Yuan's mood was very heavy.
"They hunted innocent people on a large scale, quietly mined iron ore, and could forge weapons in a steady stream.
plus the batch of tens of millions of taels of dirty silver, as well as the military power in the hands of the captain of the city guard.
They have taken advantage of the right time and place. β
Wei Xiao's face showed a rare solemn look.
"They are all but the east wind, and what about us? Even if we add up all the people in our hands, it is less than 2,000, and if we want to stop them from rebelling, it is tantamount to blocking the car with our mantis arm and killing ourselves. β
Yu Yuan hesitated: "Let's leave here first, and when the reinforcements from the imperial court come, we will do it." β
Wei Xiao laughed.
"You are so naΓ―ve, do you think we can leave Liangzhou safe and sound?"
Yu Yuanxuan was silent for a while.
She actually knew that with the style of the eldest princess Niyang, it was impossible to let them leave safely.
Now that the eldest princess of Niyang has not torn her face, she probably feels that the time has not yet come.
And what they can take advantage of is just that little bit of opportunity.
Wei Yu fiddled with the chopsticks on the table, and his eyes turned between Xiao Ti and Yu Yuan.
"I have a solution, but I don't know if you can accept it?"
Yu Yuan didn't want to think about it, so he refused: "No!" β
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows: "I haven't even said what the solution is, you just say no?" β
Yu Yuan said almost as if he were a fool.
"I don't care, I just can't!"
Wei Xiao looked at her puffed face and suddenly laughed.
"Have you already guessed what I'm going to say?"
Yu Yuan turned his face away, ignoring him.
She did guess.
But she couldn't accept that.
At this time, Xiao Ti suddenly spoke.
"What's your solution?"
Yu Yuan took his hand: "Don't pay attention to him, he loves to talk nonsense!" β
Xiao Ti held her hand: "I know it in my heart." β
Wei Lius said slowly.
"The truth that the thief captures the king first, presumably the king of Langjun won't know it, right?"
Xiao Ti: "You want to kill the eldest princess of Niyang?" β
Wei Yu corrected: "It is to kill the eldest princess of Niyang and Yuangui together, as long as the two of them die, the crowd below will be leaderless, and they will naturally collapse." β
