But this is the case, the saint still only cares about his imperial mausoleum!
With Li Qitian's cleverness, no one believed that he really couldn't see the general trend. He just changed from a grassroots to a high-ranking person. For eight years, he has been in the environment of the stars holding the moon. When he listened to more praise and virtue, Li Qitian was inevitably complacent, causing his eyes to be blinded.
Maybe it's not that he can't see the situation in the south. As an emperor, how can he really not see the situation
Li Qitian is just a fluke, maybe he is still thinking: no matter how bad it is, there are many granaries in the world, and there are many people who are rich and kind, and the people will starve to death.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were both people who valued the lives of the common people, and could not understand Li Qitian's wayward actions.
Pang Xiaodao said: "The stone materials purchased by Bo Zhongyi have received money from the household and the inner treasures, respectively, and the high-quality granite is being shipped to Huichuan County one after another. In addition, the sage has ordered the dismantling of the former warships and selected The wood on it, there are also craftsmen at the golden port who are dismantling ships on the dock.”
Pang Xiao raised his thin lips, and his phoenix eyes shone brightly: "New stones will arrive one after another, and the stone factory has limited space. Uncle Zhongyi has already found a buyer for the 'defective product', and just took this opportunity to transport it out. Sir, our time has come."
Both Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were shocked, and they suddenly felt proud.
"After resting in Danfu County these days, it is true that the old man's muscles and bones are really loose." Xie Yue said with a smile.
Xu Weizhi covered his mouth and coughed twice, jokingly said: "No, this old guy complains to me behind his back all day long, disgusting Zhongyi Bo's temper is too slow, his methods are too slow, and my ears will get calluses when he talks. Uncle has finally made a move, why don't the lord arrange more errands for Lao Xie, so that he will not be too busy."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao couldn't help laughing.
Xie Yue shook his head with a smile: "It's just that you stole your good tea last time, so you retaliate against me like this."
"Did I tell you to do more things, make your old arms and legs loose, and you are still wronged?" Xu Wei couldn't help laughing.
While the two were joking, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. They had been planning for a long time, and now it was finally time to start. To be honest, not only Xie Yue was anxious, but Pang Xiao was also impatient.
He is not in a hurry to use the money. What he thinks is almost the same as what Qin Yining thinks. The situation in the south is unpredictable. I am afraid that there will be a famine in the end. It just adds strength to the opponent. If he holds the money, disaster relief is inevitable.
Pang Xiao said: "Uncle Zhongyi is quite cautious. Until the last moment, no one can be sure which route the treasure will take. This king has ordered people to observe it closely."
Qin Yining lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said softly, "If I were Uncle Zhongyi, I would definitely not transport the treasures together. There are too many variables in this matter. As the saying goes, eggs cannot be put in one basket, and I will definitely put the treasures away. Divide it into several points and place them in several places. One can distract attention, and the other can ensure that once something goes wrong, everything will not be lost."
Pang Xiao smiled and nodded, looking at Qin Yining with admiration in his eyes.
"What the princess said is very true." Xu Weizhi said with a smile, "Now it's better for the prince to order someone to find out where the buyers of those defective products are, so we can analyze the terrain and have a better chance of winning. "
Pang Xiao said: "Sir, it is very true that this king has already assigned this matter. It will take two days to think of the result."
Sure enough, within two days, Pang Xiao listed the ten directions for the purchase of stone materials on a piece of paper, invited Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi to study, and finally came to a general conclusion.
"My lord, these four locations are the most likely." Xu Weizhi pointed to the four locations on the map, namely Linnan Township, Wanzhou Town, Wuningba, and Qinghangpo.
Xie Yue breathed smoothly and nodded in agreement: "This old man agrees with Brother Xu's point of view, these four places are in the four farthest directions. Once someone is tracking it, it is the easiest to escape. And if the old man remembers correctly, the last time we reported I learned that these four places are very coincidental, and there is no side branch or disciple of the Lu family here. Look at it, my lord."
Xie Yue pointed to the other six locations on the map. The common feature of the six locations was that they all had side branches or disciples of the Lu family.
"Uncle Zhongyi is resourceful and must be very comprehensive. Once things break out, the places without the Lu family will be the least suspect. Even if someone finds out that they need to investigate at this time, they will definitely focus on the direction of the Lu family's help. "
"The two gentlemen are right." Pang Xiao had already guessed when he got the news. He discussed with Qin Yining in private and came to the same conclusion.
"The people arranged by this king will continue to observe, and finally determine which direction the treasure is transported. This king intends to prepare some according to the carriage and stone materials for transporting the treasure, and rush to the only way to transport the treasure. I will find an opportunity to let me The spy of the spy changed the carriage. If you can, try not to do it. What do you two gentlemen think?"
Xie Yue smiled and said, "Your Highness is thoughtful."
"My lord's idea is very good. It's a helpless move in the last step. Once you do it, it will inevitably attract attention, and it will be too easy to expose. It is naturally good to be able to quietly replace it."
"I didn't expect the prince to have arranged the spies so deeply." Xie Yue sighed.
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "This is also thanks to Sister Yi. When she learned that the treasure was in the stone factory, Sister Yi arranged for the brothers from the Qingtian Alliance to sneak in quietly. Those people under my command were born in the military, and they were in the crowd. Erli is too conspicuous, and they are not as good at spying as the brothers of the Qingtian League. If they want to, they can easily hide among the common people. Since the stone factory has to be transported and the construction of the imperial mausoleum has to start, it is natural that the people will arrive before and after. I have to recruit some people from the local area to guard, so Sister Yi arranged for a few reliable people to go in."
"Princess is really a female Zhuge, women are not allowed to be men!"
Both Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were very emotional. Even though Qin Yining did not participate in their discussions today, although she was not there, things had already been arranged.
"I'm really lucky to have a princess by my side." Xu Weizhi said with emotion, "The family has a virtuous wife and a husband with few misfortunes. The princess not only has a deep affection for the prince, but also has an excellent advisor. Let's take a look at Uncle Zhongyi's family. tsk."
At the end, Xu Weizhi couldn't help smacking his tongue.
During these days, there has been a lot of news from Huichuan County, useful and useless, as long as it is about Zhongyi Bo, it will be passed on to them. It was because the shrew in Uncle Zhongyi's family did something strange, and they all knew it.
To sum up, Mrs. Bian was just spoiled. After marrying Uncle Zhongyi, she asked too much and became more paranoid. Now that Uncle Zhongyi is unwilling to go back to the house, he lives in the yamen and wants to be clean, but Mrs. Bian would bring people to the front of the yamen to make a fuss and not care about other people's eyes at all.
Pang Xiao thought of Lu Heng's careful thoughts towards Qin Yining, and his heart was filled with disgust. If it weren't for his delusional thoughts about Qin Yining from the beginning, and embarrassing the Bian family several times in public on the wedding day, the Bian family would not have all kinds of excessive behaviors, which gradually intensified.
As a man, since he agreed to marry, he should be responsible for his family. If you don't want to get married, then if you refuse, is there anyone else who can't put a knife around their neck
If you promise, you can live and live, but if you marry a wife, you don't treat it well. Ren Bian doesn't allow Lu Heng to take a concubine, but Lu Heng only thinks about a married woman. His character is really worrying and contemptible!
Pang Xiao snorted coldly, not even hesitating about the treasure. With such a character as Lu Heng, he would have no psychological burden at all if he harassed him.
In the next few days, news came one after another from Huichuan County. Through the spies' observations and Pang Xiao's analysis, it was possible to roughly determine which directions the treasure was about to be transported to.
Now is the time for delivery.
Because the "defective products" have to be shipped to different locations, and considering issues such as loading, the departure days of the delivery locations are naturally different.
Soon, two batches of stones were shipped out.
Lu Heng has been working hard these days, and now there is a faint shadow of black and green. It is true that since taking on the errand of supervising the imperial mausoleum, the burden on his shoulders has suddenly increased, and he used to be able to look at this matter with a mind of watching the excitement, but now he is really responsible for himself, and if he does it wrong, he will also be blamed by the saint.
It is already complicated to deal with the errands entrusted by the saint, and he also has to do things for treasures in private.
Fortunately, after careful arrangements during this period, everything was going according to his plan.
"Uncle, there is nothing unusual outside." Lu Wenru whispered in Lu Heng's ear in a low voice.
Lu Heng smiled slightly, and felt a little more relieved.
"Then let's ship a batch tomorrow." Lu Heng turned around and walked to the desk to take out a folded map from the stack of books behind him.
After the map was unfolded, it was spread on the table. Lu Heng picked up the lampstand and approached it to observe. After a while, he pointed to the northwest direction, "Let's go here first."
Lu Wenru looked in the direction of Lu Heng's finger, and the word "Wuningba" was on the nail.
The next morning, the sky just turned white, and the stone factory was already lively.
Workers have been working overnight, carrying heavy pieces of granite onto trucks. At this time, the coachman and the accompanying guys were all ready, and the well-proportioned and muscular cows were brought in.
For such trivial matters as selling stones, Lu Heng's identity naturally does not have to be present in person, not even his personal accomplice Lu Wenru.
But there are still many Lu Heng eyeliners in the stone factory.
Seeing that the ten ox carts were dispatched smoothly, the workers of the stone factory scattered one after another.
The team transporting this batch of stones was temporarily selected by a caravan and two escort bureaus. Knowing that it was a defective product that was not used in the construction of the imperial mausoleum, even if these stones were not used on the imperial mausoleum, as long as everything was related to the word "emperor", the matter would be much more serious.
Therefore, the group of people was very careful, as if the car was not a piece of granite, but a gold bar.
