Dare to act like this in the clear sky and in broad daylight, which shows that you are confident.
There are only two parties that can do this.
The Crown Princess herself, or the British Prince's Palace she is about to marry into.
The former is very unlikely to do so, while the latter is more suspicious.
If it was the King of England's instigation, there would be no need to go to such great lengths. Guanzhou was his fiefdom, and the sky was high and the Emperor was far away, so a caisson would be superfluous.
Then the scope is much smaller.
Can arrange people to join the wedding team...
The most convenient one is either the princess or the prince.
Things that can be used as caissons must first not be afraid of river erosion and must have a certain value.
Gold, silver, ironware, porcelain...
The last two items were quickly crossed out by him.
In my previous life, I had never heard of any military coup under the King of England.
The gold and silver ones may be larger.
If it was about money, he thought, he might already know who that person was.
Princess of England.
After the King of England succeeded to the throne, she entered the middle palace and gradually fell in love with extravagance. There was often hesitation between the emperor and the queen.
I remember hearing someone mention that in her early years in Guanzhou, the Princess of England was as simple and close to the people as the King of England.
Perhaps, the princess did not like jewelry and jade only after entering the capital, but she had already known it...
Everything is just his guess. Without seeing what is inside the caisson with his own eyes, he cannot make any conclusions.
"Have you remembered the location of the caisson?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
Yan Laoer nodded quickly: "It's very easy to remember. If I try there next time, I'll definitely be able to find it."
"This matter concerns the palace, so be cautious and don't mention it to anyone else except me," Yan Huaiwen warned his younger brother.
He thought for a while and then added: "In the past few days, you should pay more attention to Yongning City and see how the Crown Princess's reputation is."
Since they came with the wedding boat, there is no reason why the Crown Princess should not know about it. Something was missing. Even if it was difficult to find it for some reason, she kept the matter hidden.
It will definitely have an impact on the newlyweds.
The most intuitive thing is the attitude of the British Royal Palace towards the Crown Princess.
…
Yongning City, Prince Ying's Mansion.
"The gate has been repainted, and the prince's yard has been renovated. I have already said that I would renovate the garden and plant some flowers and trees, but the prince has never allowed it and it has always been vacant.
I just thought that he didn't forget his old friend, so I obeyed him and let the garden lie deserted. But I didn't expect that for the Crown Princess to come in, his deep feelings could be put aside. According to the layout of the south garden, the mountains, rivers, and rocks, each scene is a scene at a time.
...You really put your heart into it.”
The woman's appearance was extremely prosperous, and she flicked the abacus at hand at will. The round and polished black abacus beads made her hands as white as jade.
"How did things go?"
There was still a hint of anger in her voice.
"Princess, don't worry, nothing will happen. Even if the Crown Princess notices, she will only suffer the loss of being dumb."
The Princess of England looked up and pushed the abacus in her hand.
The woman who was waiting beside her took out a clean handkerchief with a wink, moistened it with warm water, twisted it until it was slightly dry, and handed it to her hand diligently.
Wipe each finger slowly.
A tea cup with a suitable temperature was gently placed in her hand.
Throwing away the handkerchief, when the moisture on her hands gradually disappeared, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The warmth of the red date tea penetrated her heart and lungs bit by bit.
The unhappiness between his eyebrows dissipated a little.
"I hope she makes a fuss. The prince chose this time to welcome the bride, because he doesn't even care about his face. He hopes that she will go all the way north to collect more congratulatory gifts to fill the treasury...
It's really ridiculous. A feudal city can't support a royal palace, and it can't make ends meet every year. In the end, the idea was to hold the wedding of my son. I wonder if my sister, Izumi, would be angry if she knew this?
That's right! He is a compassionate and kind-hearted person like the prince. He who drinks wind and dew can live without eating any fireworks in the world.
Unlike me, who only knows how to calculate and think about how to use the least amount of money to maintain the dignity that a royal palace should have."
Seeing that the princess was about to get angry again, the old lady beside her hurriedly said: "The prince will remember the princess's hard work in his heart.
Over the years, I have slowly come back to my heart and am living with the princess wholeheartedly!"
Princess Ying sneered: "Nanny is using her 'life' well, but she doesn't just live like a commoner. If I hadn't been called Princess when I went out, I would have thought I was marrying a common man."
"The prince has no choice. Everyone points to the prince because he has established a fiefdom here. Pianguanzhou is poor and has not much to live in. This year there is a severe drought in several prefectures in Leshan and Qishan. The victims fled here and came here. It is not easy to increase the population. Who can
I can imagine that there will be an epidemic.
If there had not been this epidemic, in three to five years, the tax revenue would have been much more abundant, and there would be no need for the princess to work hard and support her."
"Yes! The epidemic." Princess Ying sighed: "How much money has been spent on this epidemic? The prince has sold all the villages thirty miles east of the city. If there is no improvement, the next one will be sold.
where.
The prince is the legitimate son of his original wife, so he will inherit this royal palace in the future. If the royal palace is rich, Mian'er will be able to get some property in the future, which looks pretty good.
But nurse, you see, our Prince's Palace is just an empty shell. What will happen to my Mian'er in the future? How can we only rely on the salary from the court?
Mian'er is still young, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to wait for his grandpa to give him a good marriage, so we can find a wife by ourselves. I don't even know if I can collect the betrothal gift..."
Princess Ying smiled bitterly and said: "I also want to join hands with the prince, treat the people kindly with the prince, and be a kind-hearted person with a crystal heart, but how can such a kind-hearted person be easy? If I don't plan for Mian'er, what else can I do?
Who has plans for Mian'er?"
"Princess..." The wet nurse felt very distressed.
"Thirty percent, I only keep 30%." Princess Ying slowly lowered her eyelids: "There are not many opportunities like this, the gift orders are all handled by our people, and the Crown Princess should only know about it roughly.
If she doesn't say it, then let it go. If she doesn't mention it from now on, if she says...
There is no evidence, no evidence, and empty words.
If she can't find those boxes, the prince won't believe her. It will make her seem incompetent and she can lose even the ship's ceremony.
The imperial concubine is overwhelmed with the heavy responsibility, so why should she take on the role of minister to the Prince of England?"
"What the princess said is absolutely true!"
…
"Sir, these are the six Beirong soldiers who carried them with them. They are all banknotes issued by our bank in Guanzhou. The amount is very large. I hope you will check it carefully." Yan Huaiwen handed over the three banknotes.
A total of three hundred and fifty taels.
Mr. Tian was surprised at first, then gradually frowned and his expression became serious.
As the chief officer of a border town, my vigilance will only be higher.
What he thought at that moment was very different from Yan Huaiwen's, and he wanted to investigate in detail.
"Your brother has returned?" Lord Tian asked.
"Yes, after paying for the medicines delivered, we sent them to his home." Yan Huaiwen added, "I also explained to him that there is no need to send any more medicines."
Master Tian hummed and asked: "The bodies of the six Beirong soldiers were left behind?"
"left behind."
"The silver reward should be paid in advance by the government?"
"No, I opened a document with him, certifying that the bodies of these six people have been collected, and will be handed over separately after the city gate is unsealed and can be used both inside and outside."
Master Tian looked at him for a while and smiled.
