193. Chapter 193 You are unkind and I am unrighteous
Even if he kills Guard Cao and finds out that he has a huge sum of money on his person, he will not associate it with the salt case."
Ling Zhongqing thought for a long time and felt that Aunt Han's words were very reasonable. She never told everyone about Aunt Fang's death. That day, Aunt Fang was eavesdropping outside the door and was discovered by Yan Weiwei. Cao Weiwei's profound power was about the same as Yan Weiwei's.
, if there was someone outside at that time, they would definitely be discovered immediately.
In this case, in order to make His Highness the Crown Prince happy, he could only treat Bei Mingxuan as his enemy.
"Ling Yun, gather the people and pick up the goods tomorrow."
That's it! If you don't do it, you won't stop. Since King Xuan has chosen Ling Qingyue, you can't blame him for shooting cold arrows in the back.
"Yes." Ling Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like he was doing something big.
"Taier."
"Dad, what are your orders?" Ling Xitai's fighting spirit was also at an all-time high.
Ling Zhongqing took out a token from under the pillow and said: "King Xuan and his friends have brought a group of officials back to the capital, and they will definitely go sightseeing on the way. You immediately take a few skilled guards and travel to the capital day and night, take this token
Please give me the order to see the prince. Remember, you must do it before King Xuan returns to the capital."
The rolling river has turbulent waves and is endless.
The Jizhou Grand Canal is the largest inland river in Beixiang. It divides Beixiang into two sections from east to west, and is four miles wide from south to north.
If you travel from the north bank to the south bank of the river, the shortest time by boat is only half an hour. But if you take the land route, you have to make a detour, work hard, and travel day and night to reach the other side of the river.
Therefore, this canal is the economic lifeline of Beixiang Kingdom and the most important road from south to north.
Because of this, Beixiang Country's transportation industry is quite developed.
However, in such an important Grand Canal, due to the rapid currents, accidents such as shipwrecks, casualties, and loss of cargo often occur. Even so, everyone is willing to take the risk of taking the water route rather than detouring for more than half a month to take the land route.
After all, only a few people suffer from water disasters. Taking the land route will not only delay time, but also waste manpower, material resources and money.
Salt is shipped from Donghai City in the southeast and is shipped once a month. The salt shipped this time is enough for the people in the northern region to eat for one and a half months.
But since ten months ago, a ship carrying salt ran aground in the Grand Canal, causing the ship to be destroyed and a person to be killed, problems have arisen three times in a row.
People in northern cities suddenly ran out of salt. Although the Salt Department still had some salt in stock, official salt became less and the price of salt rose accordingly.
Nowadays, people in northern cities have to pay high prices to buy salt. Even dishes with salt in restaurants are significantly more expensive.
I heard that Donghai City will transport another batch of official salt, and everyone hopes that there will be no more problems with this batch of official salt. After all, it is already winter, and the water flow will not be as fast as in summer.
In order to allow the people in the northern city to immediately alleviate the salt shortage, Yan Si ordered officials from Donghai City to escort all the inventory in the south to the northern city.
After the official salt was loaded onto the ships in the southeastern city of Changzhou, ten official ships headed north along Changzhou to Jizhou. The voyage took two days.
A day and a half has passed, and by the time dawn comes and passes noon, we will reach the border of Jizhou.
The Grand Canal was calm and the ships were moving slowly. The salt officials and crew members who were originally worried breathed a sigh of relief.
