Chapter 197 Kill three birds with one stone, let’s make a fuss!
Xiangying returned to his tent.
Taoxue had already put the children to sleep for her.
She lay down and entered the space directly.
Arrange the drone to easily enter the locked granary and move back everything that needs to be moved.
After doing this, Xiangying thought about it and came up with a plan.
She controlled the drone to fly into the prefect's mansion and came to the top of the courtyard where Lu Hong lived.
When he opens a tent to give porridge the next day, the imperial envoy will soon find that there is no food in the granary.
Then the Sixth Prince, as the current supervisor, will definitely be implicated.
So Xiangying was going to search and see if he could take away any of Lu Hong's personal tokens and throw them in the granary.
She did this to make Lu Hong suspect that the sixth prince threw his token into the empty granary in order to escape guilt.
Lu Hong has always remained neutral, but to Xie Chen, his inaction already represented a preference for the Sixth Prince.
So Xiangying decided to push Lu Hong.
Unexpectedly, when the drone arrived above Lu Hong's yard, it found that he happened to be walking out with his housekeeper.
"Have you found out where Chu Chu went that day?" Lu Hong asked the housekeeper.
Xiangying lowered the drone a little and followed behind to eavesdrop.
The housekeeper shook his head: "The maids around the young lady have been interrogated privately several times, and they all said they didn't know what happened. The young lady herself also said that she was indeed knocked unconscious and locked in the cellar that day, and she didn't know anything else."
Lu Hong pondered: "It's really strange. Chu Chu has been particularly well-behaved recently, which is very different from before."
"Moreover, I want to investigate this matter thoroughly, but the Sixth Prince persuades me to settle the matter. It's really strange."
The butler cupped his hands and said, "Could it be that His Highness the Sixth Prince felt that it would be a disgrace to his reputation if it spread, so he refused to publicize it?"
"After all, His Highness the Sixth Prince did not suffer any loss, and the female prisoner did not make a fuss. She was quite willing to be taken as a concubine."
Lu Hong put his hands behind his hands, thought for a moment and ordered: "Keep an eye on that female prisoner for me, and tell me if you have any doubts."
"Yes."
Watching the two of them leave, Xiangying sneered behind the screen.
Lu Hong was not stupid enough and knew that he was suspicious of the Sixth Prince.
Xiangying decided to find an opportunity to make them completely break up.
She used a drone to enter Lu Hong's room, searched everywhere in the house, and finally saw a jade pendant on the table.
It was decided that it was it.
The drone threw the jade pendant back into the empty warehouse. After doing this, Xiangying went to the planting layer to harvest his own crops.
The newly planted soybeans, corn, wheat and various fruits were all transported to the fourteenth floor by elevator.
Any new items put in will be automatically copied three times.
Xiangying looked at the nearly full fourteenth floor and felt slightly ashamed.
She now has too much food and can no longer store it.
The condition for unlocking the fifteenth and sixteenth floors is to feed one hundred thousand cartoon villains.
But Xiangying had just visited and found that there were only 50,000 people there, including more than 30 newborns.
It’s still early to reach 100,000 people.
She still gave all the extra food to the little cartoon people to eat.
It was also nighttime over there, but after the patrolling soldiers discovered it, they quickly woke up many people.
After doing this, Xiangying took a hot bath and slept in the space.
When she woke up the next day, she thought of something.
Her cartoon characters all have something to eat, but most of the people in Meicheng are hungry.
In any case, her rivalry with Xie Chen and the Sixth Prince did affect the local people.
Xiangying took all the food away, and the people would still be hungry on the day when the porridge was served.
She thought for a while and made a decision.
"A-Ren," Xiangying lifted the curtain and called the young boy, "I want to tell you something. You should do it secretly. Don't tell Xie Chen."
Aren's eyes lit up: "Okay, what to do, murder or set fire?"
Xiangying patted his forehead.
"How could I ask you to kill people and set fires? You do as I say..." She muttered to Aren. Soon, it was time to open the tent and give out porridge.
Xiangying asked the drone to follow Jie Chen early.
The sheds were all set up, and the people also lined up after hearing that the government was going to release grain.
In front of everyone, the imperial minister nodded to Lu Hong: "Open a position."
Lu Hong waved his hand, and several officials came forward and opened the door of the granary.
Unexpectedly, the warehouse was empty.
The few hundred stones and rice noodles from earlier were gone.
The imperial envoy took two steps forward in shock, turned around and asked: "Where is the food?!"
Lu Hong was also stunned and turned to look at the Sixth Prince: "Your Highness, where did the food go?"
The Sixth Prince was stunned: "How could your Highness know this?"
The imperial envoy was anxious: "The granary has been under the care of His Highness the Sixth Prince these days, but you don't know where the food has gone?"
The sixth prince was also very puzzled.
Why was the food transported away before he even took action?
I thought I would open a shed to give porridge and then transport it all away. What happened now?
The expression in the Sixth Prince's narrow eyes flickered. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Jie Chen suddenly.
"You sent people to steal the food!"
Xie Chen said calmly: "That day, I handed the key to His Highness in front of the imperial envoy and the prince. How could it be possible that I sent someone to steal it?"
King Yong frowned: "Yes, not to mention that even if it was taken by Jie Chen, how could such a large amount of food be hidden from the eyes of so many of us?"
The Imperial Envoy looked at the Sixth Prince and said sternly: "Your Highness! Do you know that these grains are related to the life and death of people in many cities and counties? How can you be so derelict in your duties! It is a waste of His Majesty's trust in you!"
The sixth prince was wronged and immediately said angrily: "I don't know what happened if the food was lost. You should ask Jie Chen!"
Before Jie Chen could speak, the imperial envoy had already defended Xie Chen.
"When Lieutenant General Xie was in charge of these granaries, we all came to inspect them, and there were no problems at all. Why did the grain fly away when it was in the hands of His Highness the Sixth Prince?!"
Suddenly, the Sixth Prince's entourage took out a jade pendant from the granary.
"Your Highness, I found this thing in my humble position. It may have been left by a thief."
The sixth prince took it and took a look, and immediately pointed at Lu Hong: "Well, you, the prefect of Lu, are actually guarding and stealing in front of His Highness's eyes!"
It was Lu Hong's turn to be stunned. He took a closer look and found that it was indeed his jade pendant.
Lu Hong said anxiously: "If I want to misappropriate these grains, why do I have to wait until now? I would have had the opportunity to move them away. This is a frame-up!"
Having said this, he suddenly reacted and stared at the Sixth Prince sternly.
"Your Highness, are you planning to move things and put the blame on me?"
"My Highness puts the blame on you? Are you worthy?!"
The two had a heated argument.
Xiangying covered her mouth and snickered behind the screen.
Fight, it’s better to fight!
However, the best part is yet to come.
King Yong scolded: "That's enough. You guys are arguing endlessly in front of the people in the city. What does it look like?"
At this moment, an official came running quickly.
"Report——! Sir, we found a lot of rice grains scattered outside the city. We followed the traces and found a cave with a lot of grain in it. It was exactly what was lost in the granary!"
"Besides... I also discovered..." He hesitated.
The imperial envoy shouted angrily: "Say it!"
The officer handed over his hands and lowered his head: "I also found a lot of weapons in the hoard."
The sixth prince's expression froze.
Can't this be traced to him?
Jie Chen glanced at the thin monkey and the sour scholar behind him.
They both shook their heads blankly, obviously unaware of the matter.
A strange color flashed in Jie Chen's thin eyes.
Was it Xiangying who did it again?
The computer system was redone, and I didn’t like the interface very much. I forced myself to adapt to it. ┭┮﹏┭┮ Fortunately, it’s not a big problem. The documents are still there. I can calm down by eating a strawberry cake
