Chapter 159: You Are the Underground Grain Merchant's People!
Above the Golden Palace, the solemn silence was suffocating.
Xiao Che's chest rose and fell sharply, but the feeling of difficulty breathing became more and more obvious.
What was even more uncomfortable than him was the prince, who finally used Xiao Che's son to pull people into his camp, but he didn't expect to overturn the car for the first time.
Now he can't save Xiao Che, and he can't save it. And once the other party is convicted, his son is the son of the criminal minister, and his future career will be ruined.
Just when the prince was extremely depressed, another urgent report reached the Golden Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Xicheng granary where the disaster relief grain is stored has collapsed in many places, not only the grain has been damaged, but also the officials who take care of the grain have been injured!"
The Emperor's back tensed, and a flame burned in the depths of his eyes. The courtiers were also in an uproar, and immediately discussed.
"Did I hear me right, the granary actually collapsed?"
"Didn't you just say that it was very strong, why did it suddenly collapse? Could it be that it was gnawed by rats? ”
"Or maybe the foundation has been damaged by the rain that has been coming for days."
Sun Qinian spoke again at the right time, "Your Majesty, those are all food for disaster relief, and every stone is related to the life and death of the victims. He also asked the emperor to give an order immediately to rescue the grain. ”
The emperor made a case and issued a decree.
"Spread my will, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion will transfer food and treat the injured people. This matter will be handed over to ......" His gaze turned around on the Golden Palace, and finally fell on Su Huaixiao's body, "Lord Xiao will supervise it." ”
Su Huaixiao's eyes were like swords, "The minister's decree." ”
……
……
Outside the gate of Anguo Mansion, several men who came to make trouble were still surrounded by their families, and their mouths did not stop provoking without clean.
"What, you still want to beat people when you say it's reasonable?"
"Come on, come on, brothers, let you do it today. Just let the big guys see how domineering the Anguo Mansion is. ”
Several men not only did not back down, but arrogantly rushed into the family, for fear that the conflict would not escalate.
Seeing this, An Yueli's face completely cooled.
"The princess's father is the grandfather of the country, and it is up to the emperor to decide whether he is guilty or not, and when it will be your turn to wait for the beak. Come on, take them down for me! ”
The family members couldn't bear it anymore for a long time, so they just waited for her to give an order and immediately suppressed the three troublesome men to the ground.
"Everyone can see it, we just questioned a word, and Princess Xiao shouted at us to kill."
"The Anguo Mansion is such a bully!"
"Officials like you who are rich and unkind deserve to be exterminated!"
In this malicious curse, An Yueli paced in front of the three of them. Just when everyone thought that she would teach the other party a good lesson, An Yueli reached out and pulled two grains of rice from one of them's clothes.
"What is this?"
She stared silently at the object in her hand, thoughtful.
"You're a guy at the grain store?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and obvious panic flashed in his eyes.
"What kind of grain store work, less nonsense."
"No, you're a guy at the grain store." An Yueli looked at the other party as she spoke, and quickly noticed the beige powder on the other party's body, "Come on, take off their coats and shoes." ”
"Yes!"
The servants obeyed the order, and completed the order by dividing it by two.
After looking at the rice crumbs stained on the other party's shirt and the rice bran embedded in the soles of her shoes, An Yueli came to a conclusion more certainly.
"The evidence is conclusive, and you dare to deny it? Since you are all men of the grain store, then the princess must ask clearly, who are you instructed by? ”
The three men flatly denied it.
"What command? We don't understand. ”
"Yes, we just can't get used to the way you are going to behave in the Anguo Mansion,"
An Yueli sneered, "Do you think that if you say this, this princess will believe it?" ”
In the crowd, someone suddenly questioned.
"I don't think these people are lying, after all, food is precious at the moment, in order to avoid food theft, the grain store will assess the other party's family background and character when choosing a partner.
Not to mention anything else, the appearance of these three people in the flow of anger doesn't look like a good thing. ”
This statement has been agreed by many people.
"That makes sense. These three people looked like gangsters, how could they get into the grain store. ”
"There are so many people buying grain recently, and the grain store is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, who has the heart to come out and hang out."
"And which guy from the grain store has the guts to argue with the Anguo Mansion? Isn't this going into the thatched house with a lantern and looking for death? ”
In the face of these suspicions, the people who did not know the truth were even more suspicious of the identities of these three people.
"Princess, there is something hidden in this man's arms!"
When one of them struggled, a cloth bag fell out of his arms. The family wanted to pick it up and hand it to An Yueli, but was desperately blocked by the other party.
"Don't touch my stuff! Give it back to me......"
During the scramble, the cloth bag was torn and yellow rice grains were scattered all over the ground.
The man was stunned for a moment, then pounced, panicking to cover up all these things.
An Yueli quickly snatched it in her hand, "You have a problem with these rice." She looked at the other party with cold eyes, and analyzed loudly, "These rice are yellow and blue, and smell a strong musty smell, which is not normal rice at all, but old rice that has been left for I don't know how many years!" ”
The man roared, "So what, it's none of your business!" ”
An Yueli narrowed her eyes, "You just kept attacking the Anguo Mansion with poisonous food, accusing us of guilt, but I didn't expect that you were carrying poisonous old rice with you." You are not ordinary grain store guys, you are people from underground grain merchants! ”
"Underground grain merchants!?"
"Those underground grain merchants who sell poisoned grain?"
"If An Guogong was imprisoned for buying poisoned food, then how could these people come to the Guogong Mansion to make trouble? Isn't this self-defeating? ”
As he spoke, he heard a steady stream of footsteps approaching rapidly.
"Kyoto Yinfu is on an errand, and the idlers give in!"
In the calm and powerful scolding of the officials, the crowd that originally surrounded the Anguo Mansion quickly split a road.
In addition to the many official errands, there was also a familiar carriage heading towards us.
"See Princess Xiao." The official at the head glanced at the three men who were suppressed by the family, and his eyes rolled slightly, "Dare to ask the princess, what happened here?" ”
An Yueli announced loudly, "This princess has a free clinic today, but these three people have come to make trouble." After investigating, I seriously suspected that they were all related to underground grain merchants. The poisoned food on the ground is the evidence. ”
The leading official suddenly looked solemn, took the poisoned grain and examined it repeatedly, and then trotted to present the evidence to the carriage.
"Lord Wang, please take a look."
The curtain of the car was slightly raised, and Su Huaixiao leaned forward a little. He swept over the things in the officer's hand and ordered in a deep voice.
"Arrest it and bring it back for strict interrogation."
