This Cheng Lou'er is really powerful, she is extremely charming when she is charming, and I feel sorry when she is pure, she is really a natural stunner, and she is also a natural actor.

Zhu Song looked at his expression, and he really couldn't tell if she was lying, either she really didn't do it, or this person's Taoism was much higher than Zhu Song's.

"How old is Mrs. Shen this year?"

"Seven out of twenty concubines this year."

Zhu Song stood up and helped Cheng Lou'er up, took a closer look at the details on her face, and found that this woman's skin was so good that it was outrageous, and there was not even a trace of wrinkles.

You must know that in ancient times, the woman's face was not as long as the modern woman's face, especially after giving birth to a child, and the ancient people got married early, so most of them were wrinkled when they were thirty.

And Cheng Lou'er's face is not comparable to Jin'er's face, but it is comparable to her princess and Concubine Zhao.

Princess Han Feng Miaoqin is one year younger than Zhu Song, twenty-one years old this year, and Zhao Qin is three years younger than Zhu Song, and this year is only nineteen.

Regardless of age or experience, Cheng Lou'er's skin shouldn't be so young, could it be that what Shen Zhengcong said was right, but this kind of thing is really eaten by a woman?

"You are already thirty-nine years old, and when the average woman reaches your age, why do you have some wrinkles on your face, but you don't? Shen Zhengcong said that your face is kept so good because of eating those things. ”

Cheng Lou'er then understood why Zhu Song looked at his face so carefully.

"Your Highness, don't be deceived by Shen Zhengcong, women will only start to grow old slowly after they become biological children, especially women from ordinary families, they have to do farm work every day, they are exposed to the wind and sun, and they naturally grow old quickly."

"And the concubine has never given birth to a child, she has grown up in the Qinglou since she was a child, and she has never experienced wind and rain, let alone the concubine ......"

Cheng Lou'er said in a choked up as if he remembered something bad.

"The concubine has been fed a medicine since she was a child, and after drinking this medicine, she will not give birth to children, let alone ...... Menstrual Affairs...... So ......"

Zhu Song was shocked, it turned out that the fundamental reason why Cheng Lou'er's skin was so well maintained was here.

The status of women in ancient times was already low, especially the women in Qinglou who were simply not regarded as people, and Cheng Lou'er's identity is difficult for people to imagine how she grew up from childhood to adulthood.

What shocked Zhu Song even more was that the Qinglou would still feed this medicine to the girls in the Qinglou, and if she didn't have menstruation, she wouldn't delay making money, and if she didn't get pregnant, she wouldn't give birth to a child, and she wouldn't delay making money, which was terrible.

Looking at Cheng Lou'er's mournful appearance, where did Zhu Song bear to continue the interrogation?

"That's it, so this king has misunderstood you, and this king is here to make amends to you."

"Your Highness's daughter's body, how can a concubine be worthy of His Highness's apology?"

Zhu Song said with a smile.

"What's not to lose? This king did something wrong and apologized, this is as it should be, since you didn't get involved with the hundreds of missing children, then this king has no worries, but now there is still a question, where is Shen Zhengcong's salt hidden? The king sent people to dig three feet into the ground, but they couldn't find it. ”

Cheng Lou'er looked at Zhu Song and said: "Your Highness, of course you can't find it when you dig three feet into the ground, because these private salts themselves are hidden under the water by it, and the biggest water in Hangzhou is the West Lake!" ”

"West Lake?"

Zhu Song was shocked, how could this be? With the current level of productivity and technology, it is impossible to make a container that can be completely sealed and the water is impermeable.

Zhu Song immediately shook his head: "How is this possible?" No matter what container you put in the water, it will still get water. ”

Cheng Lou'er explained to Zhu Song: "Your Highness, use a cloth soaked in tung oil repeatedly to make a bag and put the salt in, and then put it in the stone box, and the cracks of the stone box are smeared with beeswax to cover the gaps thoroughly, so that no water will enter." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Song really sighed, the ancients really had a trick, and they could actually think of such a way.

"I see, I really live to learn, then Mrs. Shen...... Oh no, can Miss Cheng go to the West Lake with this king to salvage all the illegal salt under the West Lake, after all, the West Lake is very big, and Miss Cheng should more or less know the location of the illegal salt being thrown. ”

"As long as the private salt is salvaged, the king can complete the emperor's will on the emperor's side, and the girl's free body will naturally be obtained!"

Cheng Lou'er nodded: "The concubine is willing to help His Highness obtain private salt!" ”

Under the leadership of Cheng Lou'er, Zhu Song gathered thousands of people and began to salvage in the West Lake.

When the first stone box was carried up, Jin Yiwei carefully scraped off the beeswax on it with a knife, and then opened it to see that inside was a special bag that had been soaked in tung oil dozens of times.

When the bag is opened again, there is salt inside, although it is not the best, but it is better than the vast majority of salt on the market.

"Shen Zhengcong can really study, I never expected that he actually hid these salts in the stone river and threw them into the water, no wonder this king can't find it no matter how he looks for it!"

Cheng Lou'er commanded the Jinyi guard to salvage, her memory is very good, every time she hides salt, Shen Zhengcong will take her, and the salt sinks to the bottom of the water, and the specific direction is in Shen Zhengcong's and Cheng Lou'er's minds.

The stone boxes were found one by one, and the salt in the boxes was also taken out one by one, and some people began to count them and move them to the carriages.

The purpose of Zhu Song's visit this time is to find out the salt tax and pay the salt tax to the imperial court, which is the original purpose, and it is also the most important thing to do, and now the case is almost investigated, and the salt has also been found, although the silver has not been taken out, but there are still those adults and Shen Zheng from the richest businessman in Hangzhou, and it is simple to take out some more silver.

The salt was dug up for a whole night, and Cheng Lou'er was busy on the boat for a night, where did she point to her boat in the middle of the West Lake, where did she point to Jinyiwei and the officials who were recruited to have good water quality, and they would be plunged into the water.

Although this is much slower, Zhu Song gave a death order to pay attention to safety and not to fish for something and kill himself.
