"If he didn't betray me, how did Ye Chen know about the operation on Black Tiger Mountain beforehand? Could it be that he planted spies on Black Tiger Mountain?"

Zhou Yanyan immediately said.

"It's not impossible!"

"Uncle, Ye Chen is doing this to make us kill each other!"

"Don't fall for my tricks! I've been reborn with great difficulty, and I'm serious about dealing with Ye Chen this time!"

Wei Ming was stunned.

"What did you just say about rebirth?"

"right!"

Zhou Yanyan told Wei Ming about her rebirth.

Wei Ming was dumbfounded after hearing this.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Do you think I believe that?"

"Uncle, it's true. Never mind, this matter isn't important. What's important is that we get through this difficult time together!"

"The Ministry of Justice will be coming to arrest us for investigation soon!"

"Uncle, you must insist that we knew nothing about this. Just say that a lot of our goods were stolen by bandits from Black Tiger Mountain! Put all the blame on Old Man Liu, and then the government won't have any evidence to prove that we were involved! We can escape punishment!"

"This time, we have no choice but to abandon this batch of goods. Anyway, we can make it back later. This time, it's a matter of life and death. If we lose our lives, we can't do anything."

Wei Ming thought that Zhou Yanyan's words didn't seem like she was talking nonsense.

He nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

"In short, don't fall for Ye Chen's scheme to sow discord!"

the next day.

The Ministry of Justice then sent people to arrest them.

Because there is currently insufficient evidence.

We can only ask questions first.

"Zhou Yanyan, Liu Laogui said you went to Black Tiger Mountain and asked them to move all the stock out that night. Is that true?"

Zhou Yanyan immediately shook her head and said.

"No, I have never been to Black Tiger Mountain. They are bandits. How could I, the daughter of a prefect, have any connection with bandits!"

Ye Qianqian pouted.

[Tsk tsk tsk, they really know how to absolve themselves of responsibility!]

However, we have evidence!

Wu Yingwen.

Are you telling the truth?

"My lord, everything I said is true."

"Really? A certificate of succession!"

soon.

A man walked up.

"Who is in the hall?"

"Your Excellency, I am an imperial bodyguard. Years ago, I was ordered by the Emperor to go to Black Tiger Mountain as an inside agent."

Wu Ying nodded.

"Okay, do you know this woman?"

"I know her. She is Zhou Yanyan. I saw her on Black Tiger Mountain."

"Oh? When?"

“Just yesterday, she went to Black Tiger Mountain and colluded with Liu Laogui to have him transport the Wei family’s rice reserves out that very night and deliver them to the Great Yue Kingdom.”

Wu Ying immediately asked.

"Why are they being transported to the Great Yue Kingdom? What is the purpose behind this?"

The informant nodded.

"Zhou Yanyan said that the Wei family only took out 10% of their rice and sold it to the imperial court at market price. The imperial court then distributed the grain to the people."

"Of the remaining portion, one-tenth has already been transported by land to the Great Yue Kingdom, while the rest is on Black Tiger Mountain."

"The reason for transporting the grain to the Kingdom of Dayue is to create the illusion that the Wei family has no surplus grain."

"When they really can't produce any more grain, the batch of rice that was transported to the Great Yue Kingdom will be transported by Great Yue merchants to the Great Yuan Kingdom to be sold. At that time, it will be sold at ten times or even higher prices!"

"Then we'll be able to make money off the imperial court!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately began to discuss it.

"What?! The Wei family actually did this?!"

"I originally thought the Wei family were honest merchants who had put out all their rice reserves, but I didn't expect them to only put out 10%, and the imperial court would have to pay a high price for the rest!"

"That's incredibly cunning! They've gone to such lengths to scheme!"

"They dare to scheme against the national treasury's silver? How many heads does the Wei family have to chop off?!"
