Chapter 323 The Cause of Death Remains a Mystery

After a moment, Lin Pianran turned to Jing Yu and ordered, "Go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Bai and quickly transport all the weapons away!"

"If they have no place to store these weapons, then put them here, but send heavy troops to guard them."

"Yes, miss."

After Jingyu received the order, he used his Qinggong skills and jumped two or three times, and disappeared in an instant.

After Jingyu left, Han Chaolin approached Lin Pianran and asked in confusion, "Sister, why did you store so many weapons here without anyone guarding them? Aren't you afraid they might get lost?"

Lin Pianran said nonchalantly, "Don't be afraid, no one can steal my things."

The tone was very confident and determined.

"What if someone accidentally breaks in, discovers the things, and secretly takes them away? Wouldn't my sister suffer a heavy loss?"

Lin Pianran looked at Han Chaolin for a long time with a look of a fool.

Then she patted his shoulder and replied perfunctorily, "Your sister is so smart, how could someone steal her things? That's absolutely impossible. Don't worry about it, or you'll age prematurely."

After hearing this, Han Chaolin was almost laughing out of anger. He was only fifteen years old, how could he be so "unlucky"?

It's so infuriating.

Han Chaolin didn't hear the answer he wanted, so he stopped worrying about it. As long as his sister knew the answer, it was fine.

He has already said what he should have reminded.

Less than half an hour later, Huo Yuchen, Bai Wuji, Baili Qingyun, Chen Mubai and the others came over.

He was followed by a large group of guards.

When the few people saw the entire warehouse full of weapons, they were shocked beyond words.

There was joy on their faces.

Now the problem of weapons was easily solved.

Lin Pianran took out so many weapons at once, and Huo Yuchen didn't want her to suffer any loss.

He took Lin Pianran's hand and asked for her opinion, "It's definitely not right to ask you to give up so many weapons for free. Bai Wuji and I will go to Emperor Wu of Qin to negotiate and ask the Ministry of Revenue to find a way to provide the silver to purchase them. We absolutely cannot let you suffer too much."

"With the Ministry of Revenue providing these weapons, we can make them available at a lower price. What do you think?"

Lin Pianran nodded slightly, very much approving of his arrangement.

"Okay, go negotiate with Emperor Wu of Qin!"

"As for the food issue, I'll give you a definite answer tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

After all, the progress of a country is never easily achieved by one person alone. It is like a giant ship sailing on the vast ocean, requiring the joint efforts of every crew member to break through the waves and move forward.

The stability and prosperity of a country cannot be supported by the selfless dedication of a certain person or a small group alone. Instead, it requires the smooth operation of the state machinery to bring together the hearts of thousands of people and all kinds of forces to form a powerful force that cannot be underestimated. Only in this way can we ensure that the country can still move forward steadily in the face of storms.

After Lin Pianran handed over everything, she returned home with a surprised look on her face.

She doesn't need to worry about what happens next.

After returning to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, Lin Pianran talked with Hua Xuewei for a while, had dinner in her yard, and then returned to her own yard.

After taking a nice flower petal bath, Lin Pianran was in a very good mood.

While helping her wipe her hair, Huanxue softly told her about the subsequent developments of the Gu Xiangsi incident.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and Shen Xuanzhi were busy all afternoon, questioning every place Gu Xiangsi had visited and every person she had met, but they still couldn't find the murderer behind the incident."

"They even captured several young palace maids and tortured them, but they still couldn't find any clues."

"That little maid named Lianyue was also tortured. All her fingernails were pulled out, and she was tortured to the point of only breathing her last breath. In the end, the torture was stopped because of Gu Xiangsi's mother Song Lianghua's plea. Otherwise, she would have been tortured to death today."

Lin Pianran called Jingyu in and asked, "Was it our people who were responsible for Gu Xiangsi's death?"

Jing Yu shook his head. "Before our people could make a move, someone was quicker than us. They got there first. It seems we're not the only ones who want her dead."

Lin Pianran frowned and thought deeply. She also felt that Gu Xiangsi died too quickly. With Baili Qingyun's bad temper, the poison he gave would never work so quickly. He liked to torture others. How could a death that was not painful enough satisfy his slightly perverted heart?

It took Gu Xiangsi more than a quarter of an hour to follow them away and drink with Gu Qingcheng. It took him only a cup of tea to walk to the scene of the accident, and then it took him less than an hour to discover their death.

This is totally not Baili Qingyun's style, so Lin Pianran asked this question.

As she had guessed, it was not her people who did it.

The other party was ruthless and merciless in his actions, without any hesitation.

This made Lin Pianran look at him with new eyes.

The first person Lin Pianran suspected was Gu Qingcheng, but she did not rule out the possibility of other people.

Unable to figure out who the murderer was, Lin Pianran stopped worrying about it.

She instructed the two maids, "Keep an eye on this matter for the next two days and let me know if there are any new developments."

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the Wang family with my mother, so you should all go to bed early!"

The two little maids were very obedient and went back to sleep.

When Lin Pianran was the only one left in the room, she lay on the bed and her consciousness entered the space.

A lot of the food in the space was used up during the disaster relief efforts, and only the food collected from the second stronghold of the men in black and the warehouse of the Grand Tutor's Mansion remained, but the quantity was still very considerable.

If the food was still not enough, she would have no choice but to resort to robbing her enemies and get some more.

Anyway, she has several enemies. Once she slaughters these fat sheep, she will make a lot of money, so she doesn't have to worry.

The ideas she gave Huo Yuchen today, fundraising and investigating corrupt officials, would definitely raise a lot of money, which should be able to solve the court's urgent needs.

As she was thinking, Lin Pianran fell asleep unknowingly.

*****

At this time, in a study,

A young woman knelt in front of the fox-masked man with a look of admiration on her face.

"Your Highness, as you requested, Gu Xiangsi has been eliminated. No one will suspect me."

The fox-masked man walked forward, helped her up with both hands, and looked at her with admiration.

"Well, you did a good job on this matter. It was neat and tidy."

"In the Great Qin Dynasty, the only one who can be compared with you in terms of poisoning and detoxification is Baili Qingyun."
