Chapter 410: They actually made him do hard labor?
"Brother Dijiang." Jiujiu pointed downward with a wicked smile, "The job of moving the salt is now left to you."
Dijiang: “…”
They actually made him do hard labor?
who is he?
The emperor, the king of the southern country.
They actually made him do hard labor?
In this whole world, only his little girl dares to order him around like this.
Di Jiang was incredulous for a few seconds and shook his head lovingly.
"Brother Dijiang, let's go quickly?"
"Hahaha." Di Jiang laughed. He didn't need to do such things. He just needed to give an order and the guards who followed him secretly would appear.
At this moment, Chu Yang had already taken his men downstairs, and after Lu Xixi left, they dealt with the contraband salt.
Seeing this, Jiujiu did not force Dijiang to work.
She flew down and specifically told Chu Yang and the others to check again to see if there was anything else smuggled in the goods.
Chu Yang investigated and finally found a dead body in a secret place, which was exactly the same as what Jiu Jiu had said in her heart.
When Nan Yuanxiang saw them taking away the contraband salt and the corpses, she felt relieved, but her legs also felt weak.
Today, they did something really amazing.
This can avoid a lot of trouble later.
No, it's to avoid disaster.
It's still her disaster.
Jiujiu, Dijiang and the others are so kind. How can she repay them?
After Dijiang had the goods moved away, he filled the boxes with stones and soil, and finally sprinkled a thin layer of salt on the top to disguise it as if the smuggled salt had not been replaced.
The salt on top is about the same amount as what is stored at home on a daily basis. Even if it is discovered, it will not constitute the felony of selling contraband salt.
As for the body that was secretly hidden at the bottom of the cargo box, we need to investigate it carefully.
This matter is not simple either.
Jiujiu saw Chuyang and the others carrying the body away, so she said to Dijiang, "Brother Dijiang, shall we go back too?"
"good."
The three returned to the palace.
Nan Yuanxiang went to sleep. Jiujiu and Dijiang talked about the corpse again. After they decided how to investigate the corpse, they reluctantly parted ways and went back to their respective places to settle down.
.
Soon, the day for trading goods arrived.
Nan Yuanxiang personally took people to watch the goods being put into their warehouse, and Jiujiu followed.
The two sisters talked and laughed along the way.
Chu Yang, who was sent to protect them, followed behind them in a depressed mood, with a gloomy face. No one knew what he was depressed about. There was no smile on his face, only worry.
Jiujiu asked in confusion: "Chuyang, what's wrong with you recently? Why don't you like to talk? And you always look worried."
"Hey, Princess, please stop mentioning it." Chu Yang waved his hands in frustration. He didn't want to mention it. It didn't seem like a good thing.
[It would be fine if he didn't say that. Once he said that, my curiosity was immediately aroused. Why didn't he mention it again? ]
[No, no, I have to mention it. ]
"Chu Yang, what happened? This princess orders you to speak." Jiujiu put her hands on her hips and ordered, very domineering.
Nan Yuanxiang didn't want to disappoint Jiujiu, so she threw a gold ingot to Chuyang and offered him a large sum of money as an inducement, "...quickly tell me."
Chu Yang looked at the gold ingot in his hand, and then looked at Nan Yuan Xiang.
Really rich, willful...
You can throw away gold ingots whenever you want, as if they are worthless.
As the prince's first guard, his monthly salary is not that much.
I'm rich today.
Then say it.
"Princess, Miss Nan, it's me, I..." Chu Yang hesitated, but still said it, "I found a matchmaker to introduce me to some girls so that we can get married in the future. But who knew that every time I met a girl, I could only last three days."
At the beginning, Chu Yang was stimulated by the eldest prince and had the idea of getting married. When he came back, he put it into practice and asked Hong Niang for help.
Jiujiu also knew about this.
only--
"Three days?" Jiujiu was surprised: "Why?"
Chu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Is it not okay for me to give the girl fabrics and clothes of the style I like?"
Little did she know that the styles Chu Yang liked were all dark-colored, suitable for old women but not for young girls.
The young girl was rashly given this kind of cloth, and was implied to be old and ugly.
Can the girl be happy?
"The girl dislikes me and stays away from me because of this." Chu Yang felt wronged. "Also, I took the girl to travel and play in the water. The girl said that the lake water was clean and cool, and she wanted to go down to cool down. Is there anything wrong with me pushing her into the water?" He usually pushes his brothers into the water like this, and his brothers have no objections and are very happy.
Why is the girl unhappy?
Jiujiu: “…”
It’s hard to judge.
Nan Yuanxiang: If anyone dares to push me into the water, I will castrate him myself and make him a eunuch.
Chu Yang was completely unaware of his mistake, and he continued to chatter on: "There was another girl who was fat, but I didn't dislike her. On the contrary, I thought she was cute. However, I said that she was round like a ball and could crush someone to death with one butt, and she started arguing with me because of that."
"What's there to argue about? Can't I just make a joke?"
“…”
Jiujiu and Nan Yuanxiang were really speechless.
Oh my God!
Chuyang, don’t go looking for girls. Why don’t you just stay single?
You won’t be able to find a girl in your current state.
The girl is different from your brother.
"well……"
Jiujiu and Nan Yuanxiang both sighed.
Jiujiu felt that she shouldn't have opened her mouth today and asked Chuyang these questions, which would have irritated her.
"Okay, Chuyang, don't say anything, let's hurry up and get on the road." Jiujiu said tactfully: "When it comes to marriage, if it's destined, it will happen eventually, and if it's not destined, don't force it."
"Yeah, okay."
Chu Yang also felt that his marriage destiny had not arrived yet and there was no need to force it.
Soon, Jiujiu and his group arrived at the place where they traded goods with merchants from the Western Regions.
After Nan Yuanxiang arrived, she paid the final installment of the payment for the goods and then asked someone to move the goods.
Just after the goods were moved, suddenly, the Dali Temple Minister came with his men in a menacing manner and surrounded the cargo boxes that Nan Yuanxiang had ordered to be moved onto the carriage.
The person who came looked unfriendly.
The Dali Temple Minister even said directly to Nan Yuanxiang: "Miss Nan, I have received news that you are selling illegal salt. This is a serious crime. I must investigate it thoroughly."
"Even if you are the daughter of the Nan family, even if you have the support of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will still investigate it thoroughly." The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple said uprightly.
The main thing is that the smuggling of salt is no small matter.
Officials dare not slack off for the sake of their official hats and their lives.
"I didn't sell contraband salt. I was just doing business normally." Nan Yuanxiang explained calmly.
What greeted her was only a sneer, "People who do bad things always say they are innocent and have not done anything bad."
"Are you selling illegal salt? Once you open these boxes, you will know everything."
The Dali Temple Minister was certain that Nan Yuanxiang was smuggling salt because he had sufficient evidence in his hands.
