Chapter 934: Putting the News
After returning to the inner study, Gu Chengyu picked up the letter and read it carefully, is this the letter from the senior brother?
Gu Chengyu was a little strange, could it be that the senior brother was in a hurry to find him?
After a few breaths, Gu Chengyu read the contents of the letter roughly.
Is the emperor sick? Gu Chengyu frowned, remembering that the emperor had taken the Longevity Pill last time, could it be that the Longevity Pill was just a disguise?
The letter also mentioned that Xia Qing did not agree with the Chamber of Commerce, and the court was still discussing, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
And the court is now the crown prince's prison country, assisted by Xia Qing, which is very unfavorable to him.
Gu Chengyu calculated the approximate date, if this letter passed through the post station, it would take at least five or six days to arrive.
The current trend of the DPRK and China must have changed, and I don't know what the situation is.
The matter of the Chamber of Commerce, even if Xia Qing objected, then after he returned to the capital, it would be possible to come back to the idea.
In fact, this chamber of commerce matter, it is good to postpone it. Because his meritorious service is not cost-effective now, he has not been promoted, and he has wasted a great opportunity, but what he is really worried about now is the emperor's body.
If the emperor's dragon body is difficult to heal this time, or even go west in the end, it is very likely, after all, the emperor is old.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, will he be reused like the current emperor? It's not that he is not confident, but every emperor has his own preferences and ideas.
Maybe people have their own team, or maybe they just don't like him? Anyway, in the future, he can't do things as casually as he does now.
As for whether the new emperor will be the crown prince, he doesn't think that the other party will be nine out of ten.
King Gong, like King Jing, is an ambitious person. The third prince, who has become a monk, seems to be honest for the time being, but I don't know if there will be small actions in private.
It seems that he has to be ready, the emperor is afraid that he has not much life.
"My lord, the Xia clan has also started selling grain." Mingmo entered the room and said excitedly.
"Oh? What is the price? Putting this matter aside for the time being, hearing this good news, Gu Chengyu was also relieved in his heart.
"It's the same price as the previous home rice shop, nine wen a pound of brown rice, and Jiang's is already selling eight wen a catty." Mingmo had a smile on her face, very satisfied with the result.
Before, because of the rice grain, he almost lost his hair. For this reason, they also made two long trips, and these people finally couldn't hold their breath.
However, what he admires most is the adults of his family, who can lay out for so long, isn't he in a hurry at all?
"Oh! You go and tell those officials, let's sell eight wen a pound now. Remember, sell a thousand pounds, don't sell more. ”
Now is the time to wrap up, and Gu Chengyu must not take it lightly.
The grain in the granary urgently needed to be replenished, and he didn't dare to owe it forever. According to the crown prince's style, officials will soon be sent to take over the post of prefect of Yingnanfu.
If the new prefect arrives and inspects the granary and finds that the granary is more than half empty, wouldn't it be a goof?
So he had to add a little fierce medicine to make the Xia clan mess up. If that's not enough, add a little more.
"Yes!" Mingmo can now understand the intentions of his own adults, and adults have his reasons for doing things.
"In two hours, you will go and find out the price of Xia's rice."
"Besides, Jiang Shi, you should be more careful." Gu Chengyu was a little curious about Jiang's, the speed of this price reduction is really fast!
The rice shop that used to be at home was opened first, and this Jiang family followed. I didn't expect that Jiang's is now cheaper than what is sold at home, as if he wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, which is a little strange.
"Also, have you all said that the people you arranged? At that time, I will be scattered to several houses to buy grain, and buy more at a time. ”
Gu Chengyu hooked the corners of his lips slightly, it would be great if these three families fought.
However, he couldn't send someone to buy grain on a large scale, otherwise the old fox of Patriarch Xia would immediately notice that something was wrong. So I can only find more people, spread them out, and buy more at a time.
It's a real trouble, but the people now have a lot of food for themselves. Everyone buys a lot, and as long as it doesn't go too far, it won't attract attention.
After the imperial court sent the prefect of Yingnan Prefecture, he could also return to the capital.
However, before leaving, the poison sac left by Daxing in Jiangnan had to be removed.
Gu Chengyu is still a little puzzled, why hasn't the assassin acted in the past few days? Did they give up?
Or do they already know about the confession of the bull? I wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but the other party didn't react.
The purpose of these people coming to Dayan Dynasty is self-evident, Daxing has been eyeing Dayan for a long time, and he has long made no secret of his ambitions.
"Mingmo, release the news that we have captured the bull." Gu Chengyu wanted to wait and catch two more for interrogation.
Among these people, there are always those who know more than the bulls. The young master is an important person, and the main task of these people is to find the young master.
But why did you come to Dayan to find the young master? It's a strange thing. Gu Chengyu rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, what young master is estimated to be not very old, and he is still a young man in Dayan.
Otherwise, an older young master still needs to be searched? These people appeared in Yingnan Mansion, could it be that the young master was in Yingnan Mansion?
Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly, if they found that young master next, wouldn't they have seized the opportunity?
"My lord! Those people have not moved for the past few days, have they given up their plans to assassinate you? Maybe they have something more important to do? If we release the news of the capture of the bull, in order not to leak the secret, they not only want to kill the bull, but also pick up the task of assassination, what should we do? ”
Mingmo attaches the most importance to the safety of his own adults, and when they come to Jiangnan, they don't have many hands. If these people were afraid that the bull would leak some important information, and sent a master to assassinate the lord and the bull, they would be exhausted.
Gu Chengyu smiled, "Your analysis is good, but the brute only explained some irrelevant information. The best way to identify whether he is hiding or not depends on whether the other party attaches importance to the bull. ”
In the prison before, because Lu Chen was present, Gu Chengyu didn't ask much about some important information.
Although he now has a cooperative relationship with Lu Chen, he doesn't want to reveal all the news to Lu Chen. The wild bull must have something to hide, and it is impossible to be ignorant of the news of the young master.
After listening to this, Mingmo finally realized that if the bull knew more, those people would never let the bull still live. If you don't know much, it doesn't matter if you get caught.
For the sake of a brute bull, it is impossible to take more capable subordinates.
However, Mingmo still has a question. Didn't Ding Shi say that the adult had let the bull open his mouth in the prison before, so why didn't the lord use his strength anymore and let the bull explain things clearly?
