Chapter 122 Mysterious Invitation
The King of Chu was quite meticulous and asked someone to open the coffin to ask for a certificate. Then he covered his nose and waved his hand to let someone close the lid. Although it was summer, he had only been dead for a day and would not have the corpse rotted or stinked, but he died of poisoning and the degree of decay of the body became worsened.
"Is there a copy of the commentary written by Emperor Ming?" The King of Chu asked sternly in front of the Minister of Revenue An Jinyan.
An Jinyan said respectfully: "Return to His Highness, the King of Chu has not yet... submitted a memorial."
"Then the memorial will be written by me!" The King of Chu looked at Liu Yu deliberately when he spoke, thinking that he would blame Liu Yu and ask him for a crime of poor protection.
Seeing the King of Chu turn to the prefect's mansion, Han Sheng glanced at Liu Yu and said worriedly: "Brother Liu, things may be a little troublesome."
Liu Yu understood Han Sheng's meaning. If the King of Chu turned the blame on Liu Yu, it would be obvious that he would show the emperor that they had broken up and that the emperor might not trust Liu Yu again in the future. After all, Han Sheng was in-laws with Liu Yu, so if he did not consider Liu Yu, Han Sheng would also consider the future of his two granddaughters.
"Then let Brother Han write another secret song, saying that he was singing a double act with the King of Chu, deliberately paralyzing the traitor."
Han Sheng nodded knowingly with a knowing smile, glanced at Liu Yu, as if saying, "You guy has many ideas."
Han Sheng went back to write the memoir, using special passwords, like sending a telegram. Liu Yu looked at it and was a little confused. Han Sheng explained: "I will teach you in the future. Now is not the time."
I think those who come to do spy intelligence work have their own means of contact, and even if the report falls into the hands of the enemy, they cannot find out the hidden news. Han Sheng, the intelligence director, was not in vain.
Liu Yu put some blood on the five fingers of his right hand. In the past two days, his arm has improved greatly, so he can perform some simple movements. Xu Xuanzhu was also very happy about this. He thought it was the credit of Qu Ning's medical skills. Qu Ning was quite puzzled. Every time he came to ask Liu Yu for consultation, he looked suspicious. Liu Yu could not explain this to her, nor could he explain it.
Han Sheng was still writing the memorial. Before Liu Yu could put down the needle on his finger, a guard came to report that someone had sent an invitation outside the inn, hoping to invite Liu Yu, the right commander of the Imperial Guard in front of the hall, to go to the mansion to discuss.
Liu Yu was suspicious in his heart, could it be that Liu Liniang was making trouble again? Open the invitation, and she was not as written by Liu Liniang. But she still had to be on guard. After all, she had just fought with the people from the Huai King faction, and if she really faced Liu Liniang this time, she had to be prepared for both.
"Master, are you going?" asked Su Yan, who came after hearing the news.
"What do you think?" Liu Yu glanced at Su Yan and asked back.
Su Yan laughed and said, "Master, you sit here, you will definitely not go."
Not only did Liu Yu not go, he also sent someone to the place where he made an appointment to investigate. As a result, the person who came back said that the place where he made an appointment was a warehouse with a full warehouse of grain.
"Ah?" Not only Liu Yu, even Su Yan, thought he had heard it wrong.
Liu Yu immediately took Hu Xuan and Qu Zhu and escorted him with Su Yan to the warehouse. He found that there was indeed a warehouse full of high-quality rice, which totaled thousands of tons and more than two thousand bunches of rice and more than tens of thousands of kilograms.
"What a big deal." Liu Yu hesitated, thinking that it was Liu Liniang's work? It doesn't make sense to say that Liu Liniang openly gave rice to the enemy.
I asked my neighbors around me and said that this place was originally a used warehouse. Since two days ago, someone has moved things here, and many people have come in and out, but more than an hour have passed away.
Liu Yuyu became increasingly confused about the other party's origin.
"General Liu, another invitation came outside." Zhang Wuzhu came in with an invitation and handed it to Liu Yu.
"Where are people?"
Liu Yu opened it and the contents inside were the same as the previous letter, but the appointment was changed.
Zhang Wuzhu said: "The one who sent the letter was just a little furry doll. He threw it down and ran away. It was supposed to be an errand runner. He sent someone to follow him, but he didn't see anyone."
"Go! Take someone to see."
Liu Yu left a group of guards and took the people down the place. When he arrived at the place where he made an appointment, he was still a warehouse, which was larger than the previous warehouse, but there was still no one. He counted the rice in the warehouse and found that there were more than two thousand dans.
"It's crazy."
Liu Yu was confused by the inexplicable rice. He couldn't stand anyone and just gave him rice. It was like giving him a big gift, and it was not finished. The more than 3,000 charcoals of rice were enough for thousands of victims to eat until the summer potatoes in late autumn were ripe.
Liu Yu waited in the second warehouse for a while, thinking that there was still a follow-up, and no one came to send invitations until dusk.
"General Liu, did you send people to check the city of Fangzhou? Who is the one who brought us rice?" Zhang Wuzhu asked when he saw Liu Yu not speaking.
Liu Yu did not answer, and Su Yan, who was standing beside him, asked: "Master, how to deal with these rice...?"
"Don't move for the time being before figuring out the other party's origin, and find someone to look for it." Liu Yu ordered the guards to protect them all night and not make any mistakes. He also wanted to go to the prefect's office to ask if the prefect Yu knew about this.
When he arrived at the prefect's mansion, he realized that the King of Chu had left for Mingzhou County in the afternoon. When the King of Chu believed that since Nanyang Gan had lost his merits, the matter of collecting grain should not go wrong, and he should go back to Mingzhou County as soon as possible to handle it.
Prefect Yu respectfully received King Yu and his party. After asking, Liu Yu realized that the prefect's mansion knew nothing about the mysterious man delivering rice.
It was already night before Liu Yu and others came out of the prefect's mansion. When they returned to the prefect's mansion, they saw Xu Xuanzhu entertaining a man before they even entered the hall. When they walked in, the man turned around. Liu Yu couldn't help but smile. It turned out to be Sui Yu, dressed in a man's dress, and Sui Yu changed into a man's outfit. Sui Yu himself gave people the feeling of a smart and capable shopkeeper, which is a bit more stable now.
"Miss Sui, why are you here?" Liu Yu smiled and greeted him, "Did you send those rice?"
When Sui Yu saw Liu Yu, she looked unnatural, lowered her head and said, "General Liu, actually... I am here to contribute some of your strength to you."
Sui Yu had just arrived in Fangzhou County. Not only did she bring salt in short supply in Fangzhou, but she also helped find rice everywhere. After all, the Sui family was a big merchant who was traveling with merchants. There were people telling me about what goods were missing from wherever there was a place. When she learned that there was a shortage of salt in Huaibei, Sui Yu volunteered to transfer salt from the production area of the well salt. Her purpose was mainly to buy grain for Liu Yu to complete her errands.
"Thank you Miss Sui." After hearing Sui Yu's reason, Liu Yu stood up respectfully and saluted.
Sui Yu was even more helpless and said: "General Liu doesn't have to see him. In fact, I don't dare to make a contribution. The local grain price was very high. I asked some local merchants and heard that the Sui family wanted to buy a lot of rice, and they all said that there was no rice to sell. Originally, I was worried that this trip would not help General Liu and Sister Xu, but... just a few days ago, a person who didn't know the origin said that he could sell us rice at a price several times lower than the market price. Originally, I was worried that the rice was incorrect or the quality was wrong, but after checking it, it turned out to be all the best rice."
Liu Yu had already found the owner, but couldn't help asking: "Is the rice from the mysterious seller the one placed in the warehouse today?"
Sui Yu said with confusion on her face, "The batch of rice I bought from me is still outside the city... It has not been transported into Fangzhou City!"
Liu Yu immediately stood up, and the love case ended up being unsolved. After asking in detail, Sui Yu was not very clear about the other party's origin, background and identity. She only knew that it was a batch of cheap rice, which totaled more than 2,000 dan. In addition, the one I found in two warehouses before, a total of 5,000 dan dan.
After hearing this, Xu Xuanzhu also asked with confusion on his face, "Husband, who is behind this? Are you helping us... or have another purpose?"
Perhaps it is because of getting married and following a husband, Xu Xuanzhu is almost blind to Liu Yu's trust. If you don't understand anything, you will ask Liu Yu's opinion as soon as possible. But Liu Yu also knows nothing about this.
"By the way, General Liu." Sui Yu said, "the people did not check in the end, but exchanged a batch of salt for our discount. From today on, cheap salt will be sold in the surrounding counties and cities, which are cheaper than the original affordable salt. They also asked us to transport a lot of salt with sand, and claimed that there was a steady stream of salt coming over, such as for local vendors who stocked up salt and stocked up goods."
Liu Yu laughed silently. It seemed that the other party was not only a "soldier businessman" who made profits for the poor people, but also very smart. He would use means to numb the local profiteers, causing wrong guidance, and forcing them to sell salt at a lower price.
Liu Yuzheng was a little confused. Zhang Wuzhu came in with an invitation card outside and said, "General Liu, the person who sent the invitation card is here again. This time we were invited to the famous brothel in Fangzhou County, Back to Yuelou to meet. Will you go?"
