Chapter 197 Kill three birds with one stone, make a fuss!
Xiangying returned to his tent.
Tao Xue had already coaxed the children to sleep for her.
She lay down and entered the space directly.
Arrange a drone to easily enter the locked granary and move back everything that needed to be moved.
After doing all this, Xiangying thought about it and came up with a plan.
She controlled the drone to fly into the prefect's mansion and arrived above the courtyard where Lu Hong lived.
The day after tomorrow, when the porridge is distributed in the tent, the imperial envoy will soon discover that there is no food left in the granary.
Then the Sixth Prince, as the current supervisory director, will definitely be implicated.
So Xiangying planned to search and see if he could take away any personal belongings of Lu Hong and throw them in the granary.
She did this to make Lu Hong suspect that the Sixth Prince threw his token into the empty granary in order to escape punishment.
Lu Hong has always remained neutral, but for Jie Chen, his inaction already represented his bias towards the Sixth Prince.
So Xiangying decided to give Lu Hong a push.
Unexpectedly, when the drone arrived above Lu Hong's yard, it found that he happened to come out with his housekeeper.
"Did you find out where Chuchu went that day?" Lu Hong asked the housekeeper.
Xiangying lowered the drone a little and followed behind to eavesdrop.
The housekeeper shook his head. "The maids around the young lady have been interrogated several times in private. They all said they didn't know what happened. The young lady herself also said that she was indeed knocked unconscious and locked in the cellar that day. She knows nothing else."
Lu Hong groaned: "It's really strange, Chuchu has been particularly well-behaved recently, very different from before."
"Moreover, I wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, but the Sixth Prince advised me to keep quiet. It's really strange."
The butler cupped his hands and asked, "Could it be that the Sixth Prince feels that spreading this matter would tarnish his reputation, and that's why he is unwilling to publicize it?"
"After all, the Sixth Prince did not suffer any loss, and the female prisoner did not make a scene. She was willing to be taken as a concubine."
Lu Hong put his hands behind his back, thought for a moment and ordered: "Keep an eye on that female prisoner. Tell me if you have any doubts."
"yes."
Watching the two of them leave, Xiangying sneered behind the screen.
Lu Hong was not stupid enough, he knew to suspect the Sixth Prince.
Xiangying decided to find an opportunity to make them completely fall out.
She used a drone to enter Lu Hong's room, searched everywhere in the house, and finally saw a jade pendant on the table.
It was decided that this was it.
The drone threw the jade pendant back into the empty warehouse. After doing this, Xiangying went to the planting layer to harvest his crops.
The newly planted soybeans, corn, wheat and various fruits were all transported to the 14th floor by elevator.
All new items put in will be automatically copied three times.
Xiangying looked at the fourteenth floor which was almost full and felt slightly embarrassed.
She now has so much food that she can’t even put it in anymore.
The condition for unlocking the fifteenth and sixteenth floors is to feed 100,000 cartoon characters.
But Xiangying just went to check, and now they only have 50,000 people, including more than 30 newborns.
It’s still a long way to go before we reach 100,000 people.
As usual, she gave all the extra food to the cartoon characters.
It was also night there, but after the patrolling soldiers discovered it, they quickly woke up many people.
After doing all this, Xiangying took a nice hot bath in the space and went to sleep.
She woke up the next day and thought of something.
Her cartoon characters all had food to eat, but most of the people in Meicheng were hungry.
In any case, the contest between her, Jie Chen and the Sixth Prince did affect the local people.
Xiangying took all the food away, so the people still had to go hungry on the day when the porridge was served.
She thought about it and made a decision.
"Aren," Xiangying lifted the curtain and called the young boy over, "I want to ask you to do something. Do it secretly and don't tell Jiechen."
Ah Ren's eyes lit up: "Okay, what to do, murder or arson?"
Xiangying patted his forehead.
"How could I let you kill people and set fire? Just do as I say..." She muttered to Aren.
Soon, it was the day to open the tent and distribute porridge.
Xiangying had already ordered the drone to follow Jie Chen.
The sheds were all set up, and the people heard that the government was going to distribute grain, so they lined up.
In front of everyone, the imperial envoy nodded to Lu Hong and said, "Open the warehouse."
Lu Hong waved his hand, and several officers came forward and opened the door of the granary.
Unexpectedly, the warehouse was empty.
The hundreds of stones of rice and flour that were stored earlier disappeared without a trace.
The imperial envoy took two steps forward in astonishment and turned back to ask, "Where's the food?!"
Lu Hong was also stunned, and turned to look at the Sixth Prince: "Your Highness, where is the food?"
The Sixth Prince was stunned: "How could this prince know?"
The imperial envoy was anxious: "The granary has been entrusted to the care of the Sixth Prince these days, and you don't know where the grain has gone?"
The Sixth Prince was also very puzzled.
How come the food was taken away when he hadn't even started yet?
We had originally planned to open the tent to distribute the porridge and then transport all the food away, but what’s going on now?
There was a flicker in the Sixth Prince's narrow eyes. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked fiercely at Jie Chen.
"You sent people to steal the food!"
Xie Chen said calmly: "That day, I handed the key to Your Highness in front of the imperial envoy and the prince. How could it be possible that I sent someone to steal it?"
King Yong frowned and said, "Yes, even if it was Jie Chen who took it, how could so much food be hidden from the eyes of so many of us?"
The imperial envoy looked at the Sixth Prince and said sternly, "Your Highness! Do you know that these grains are related to the lives of the people in so many cities and counties? How can you be so negligent in your duties? You are betraying the trust of His Majesty!"
The Sixth Prince felt wronged and immediately said angrily: "I don't know what happened when the food was lost. You should ask Jie Chen!"
Before Xie Chen could speak, the imperial envoy had already started to defend Xie Chen.
"When Vice General Jie was in charge of these granaries, we all came to check them out and found no problems at all. How come the grains flew away like wings after they were in the hands of the Sixth Prince?!"
Suddenly, the Sixth Prince's entourage took out a jade pendant from the granary.
"Your Highness, I found this thing. It might have been left by the thieves."
The Sixth Prince took it and looked at it, then pointed at Lu Hong and said, "You are so good, Governor Lu, you actually stole the money right under my nose!"
It was Lu Hong's turn to be stunned. He looked carefully and found that it was indeed his jade pendant.
Lu Hong said anxiously: "If I wanted to embezzle this grain, why did I have to wait until now? I would have had the opportunity to move it away long ago. This is a frame-up!"
Having said this, he suddenly reacted and stared at the Sixth Prince fiercely.
"Your Highness, you are not going to move the things and then put the blame on me, right?"
"Your Highness, are you worthy of this?!"
The two of them were arguing fiercely.
Xiangying covered his mouth and laughed behind the screen.
Fight, it’s better to fight!
However, the best part is yet to come.
King Yong shouted, "That's enough! You guys are arguing in front of the whole city. What kind of people are you?"
Just then, an officer came running over.
"Report! Sir, we found a lot of rice grains scattered outside the city. We followed the trail and found a cave with a lot of food in it. These are the grains that were lost from the granary!"
"Besides this... we also discovered..." He hesitated to speak.
The imperial envoy shouted angrily: "Speak!"
The officer cupped his hands and bowed his head: "We also discovered a lot of weapons stored up."
The Sixth Prince’s face froze.
This must be traced back to him, right?
Xie Chen glanced at the skinny monkey and the sour scholar behind him.
They both shook their heads blankly, obviously unaware of the matter.
A strange look flashed in Xie Chenbo's eyes.
Was it Xiangying who did it again?
The computer system has been reinstalled, and the interface has changed. I don't like it very much. I'm forcing myself to adapt. ┭┮﹏┭┮ Fortunately, it's not a big problem. The documents are still there. I'll eat a strawberry cake to calm down.
