The green oranges in August are sent in advance in July, and there must be demons among them.

Xiao Wuxin has been thinking about a problem, that is, how the enemy can transport gunpowder into the capital.

It is simply not feasible to take the land route, there are nine checkpoints inside and outside Jinling, and each of them will carefully check the goods that have passed.

Once it is found that smuggling gunpowder into the capital, it is a big crime to kill the head.

And the only way to do it is by water.

The waterway inquiry is much looser, but it is still not to be underestimated.

If it weren't for seeing that plate of green oranges this morning, Xiao Wu's heart would have flashed brightly.

If gunpowder was mixed with tribute, it would have saved a lot of inventory procedures.

"Head! The enemy needed a very large dose of gunpowder, and it was impossible for them to deliver it all at once. ”

"I have checked the tribute ships during this time, a tribute ship arrived at the dock half a month ago, and there will be more than ten tribute ships arriving tonight, as long as you wait for the rabbit, you are not afraid that they will not bite the hook."

Wang Shicong heard the voice outside the words, and said: "What do you mean by listening to you, you want to leave, let me guard here?" ”

Xiao Wuxin smiled and said, "Hehe, I have other things to do, besides, I don't know you alone, and ......"

"And us."

Qin Fen came to the dock with the bosses of several other classes.

I knew that if the case of smuggling gunpowder was solved, it would be a great achievement, so how could they miss this kind of thing? 

Wang Shicong looked at the other people and looked at Xiao Wuxin angrily: "You kid has no conscience, call a few of them to steal merit from me." ”

"Boss, this matter is extraordinary, involving Xiao Huangting, the king of Zhennan, it is difficult for you to handle it alone, multiple people and multiple helpers."

Although he didn't know what case Xiao Wuxin was cracking, Zhao Juzheng told Wang Shicong and others that he would help him unconditionally.

It can be seen from this that this case is definitely not small, and once successful, their promotion is inevitable.

With Wang Shicong and Qin Fen, Xiao Wuxin can also rest assured that he will hand over the investigation and handling of gunpowder to them.

After saying a few other things, Xiao Wuxin left the dock and returned to the capital.

......

Nanyang Princess Mansion.

In the process of interrogating the fake Wang Dujin, he mentioned the words "Princess Nanyang".

The expression of the fake Wang Dujin changed slightly, and his fingers moved unconsciously, and his eyes moved left and right.

This is a typical manifestation of a ghost in the heart.

Riding a horse to Xiao Yanxuan's house, the doorman stopped him and said, "Who is coming?!" ”

"Let's just say that King Xiao of Han has no intention of meeting Princess Nanyang." Xiao Wuxin took out his waist card to prove his identity.

After the doorman saw it, he immediately entered the house to report.

A moment later, Princess Nanyang personally welcomed her servants with her servants.

"Brother Wang suddenly came to the house, and he missed the distance, no wonder." Princess Nanyang owes a welcome message.

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the reception hall.

"Look at the tea!"

Princess Nanyang said, "Brother Wang is visiting today, what is the matter?!" ”

"It's nothing, Sister Yanxuan has just come of age this year, why I've been out on a mission, and I haven't been able to catch up with your adult banquet, a belated gift, don't mind."

He brought the wood carvings that he had prepared in advance.

"I know that you like wood carving, so I sent someone to carve a picture of the river for you, and you also know that Brother Wang and I are shy in my pocket, and I really can't get a rich gift."

"The courtesy is light and affectionate, Brother Wang has this heart, I am very happy."

"If you like it, it's fine."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xiao Wuxin asked, "I heard that my sister is engaged to Rong Ruo, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Princess Nanyang's expression was stunned, and she immediately said with a smile: "The marriage of the father's engagement, when the daughter is a daughter, she can only be obedient." ”

"However, I am already content, at least I don't have to be sent to a foreign country like my other sisters."

Xiao Wuxin said: "My sister doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the public loss Rongruo, or do you already have a sweetheart?!" ”

Princess Nanyang looked at Xiao Wuxin suddenly, and immediately shook her head in denial: "No...... No. ”

"Then why don't you look happy?"

"Is there one?"

"You can't wait to say 'unhappy' on your face."

Princess Nanyang tried her best to squeeze out a smile, but she didn't smile, it was really ugly.

Seeing that Xiao Wuxin kept staring at herself, she couldn't help but say, "Okay, I admit that I'm not satisfied with this marriage, but what?!" The words of the matchmaker of my parents' orders cannot be objected to. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason you love wood carving is because of him."

Xiao Yanxuan was full of surprise: "You...... How do you know? I've never told anyone. ”

On Princess Nanyang, the exquisite jewelry is worth a lot of money, but the cheap wooden hairpin is out of place, if it is not given by her sweetheart, how can she wear it on her head every day.

Xiao Wuxin smiled and continued: "People often see you entering and leaving the gilded wooden workshop in the capital, and I think that your sweetheart should be from the wooden workshop. ”

Before Princess Nanyang could speak, she heard someone outside making a "uh-huh" sound.

"The Queen Mother."

When Princess Nanyang saw this woman, she immediately greeted her, this woman was the princess's mother, Wu Li Wu Zhaoyi.

"I've seen Zhaoyi." Xiao Wuxin hurriedly saluted.

Wu Zhaoyi did not smile, she spoke very seriously, and Princess Nanyang seemed to be afraid of her.

"Xuan'er, King Han is here, why don't you give it to me."

"It's rare for the queen mother to come back from the palace, and the sons are afraid of disturbing your rest."

With the support of the princess, Wu Zhaoyi sat in the position of the master, she and Xiao Wuxin exchanged a few casual words, and then said to him: "Your Highness, if you have nothing else to do, please go back." ”

"Xuan'er will have to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting later, so it is inconvenient to accompany her."

Wu Zhaoyi had inexplicable hostility towards Xiao Wuxin, and immediately issued an eviction order.

"I also know a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in fact, I can also teach Nanyang."

At this time, Princess Nanyang followed to help: "Brother Wang, he won the first place in the six arts test of Guozijian, which is amazing." ”

Wu Zhao said coldly: "No need, Xuan'er, send off!" ”

Xiao Wuxin was asked out.

Coming to the main street, a strange carriage staggered with him.

Looking back, the carriage headed towards Princess Nanyang's mansion.

Xiao Wuxin secretly followed, and saw a familiar person get out of the carriage and enter the princess's mansion.
