After the woman disguised herself as a man, the doctor became the prince's cinnabar mole

Chapter 58 Framed
Inside the house, Bei Jinchuan and Jiang Hou were discussing the drought in Linzhou.

Today, most of the refugees in Linzhou have been resettled, but the drought has not been resolved, the food for disaster relief is not enough, and no water source suitable for digging has been found so far.

"Nowadays there is a shortage of food, but the number of refugees is increasing day by day. If things continue like this, the refugees will still complain to the magistrate."

Bei Jinchuan's face was a little ugly. Now the grain merchants in Linzhou have hoarded a large amount of grain, and the price of grain has skyrocketed.

Don't say that ordinary people can't afford it, even those dignitaries in the imperial city have to think twice.

"In fact, there are still grains in Linzhou, but they are all from grain merchants. If these grain merchants are allowed to take the initiative to distribute grain, the disaster situation in Linzhou can also be alleviated."

Bei Jinchuan nodded. He knew what the boy said, but the grain merchants shied away from each other, and none of them were willing to distribute grain.

There are three main grain merchants in Linzhou, the Li family, the Liu family and the Shu family.

Among them, the Liu family is the head.

The news of his coming to Linzhou must have been known to the three masters, but he has been in Linzhou for so many days, and they still shirk each other's reluctance to meet.

"The Liu family is timid and cautious. Everything is dominated by the Liu family. The Shu family is too ambitious. They have long been dissatisfied with being overwhelmed by the Shu family all the year round. The Liu family is used to domineering in Linzhou and has long since refused to let the government go. In the eyes."

"The three families seem to be closely connected, and they have long guarded against mutual suspicion internally. As long as there is a little crack between them, they can be broken one by one."

Jiang Hou's narrow and long eyelashes moved slightly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something.

"So you want to attack the Shu family?"

Bei Jinchuan nodded appreciatively, and looked at the boy's eyes with satisfaction.

"good."

The Shu family has ambitions and strength, and it is an opportunity to replace the Liu family. The most important point is that the head of the Shu family loves his daughter Shu Yan very much.

Since the three are unwilling to see me, I will force them to come to me for cooperation.

This king wants to see if they are really so united.

At this time, Du Ruo came to report from outside the door.

"Your Highness, the banquet invitation sent by the Shu family is said to be an apology for his daughter's collision with His Highness."

Bei Jinchuan looked at the gold-plated banquet post, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, there was no surprise on his face, everything was expected, and a meaningful sneer flashed across his eyes.

In the evening, Shu Mansion was extremely lively.

The maids brought exquisite food, and the coquettish dancers danced at the banquet with their waists twisted.

Bei Jinchuan sat on the main seat, Jiang Yu sat below him, and opposite was Shu Chenghe, the Patriarch of the Shu family.

"I didn't know His Royal Highness King Qi was coming, but Shu failed to meet His Highness in time, and Shu punished himself with three cups."

He held the wine glass and drank it three times, then poured another one, looked at the silent King Qi on the main seat, and said.

"This cup is for Shu to apologize to the King of Qi on behalf of the little girl. I hope that Lord Qi has a lot, and he is not as knowledgeable as the little girl."

He toasted for a long time, seeing that King Qi didn't respond at all, he simply drank it in one gulp.

Bei Jinchuan quietly watched his performance, knocked on the table with one hand, neither spoke nor organized, just watched him drink glasses of strong wine coldly.

After a few glasses of strong wine, Shu Cheng and his feet began to feel a little vain, his face was rosy, and his words were not as cautious as before.

"Today King Qi came to my Shu Mansion, which made my Shu Mansion flourish. Shu is happy today. This cup is my respect to King Qi."

He stood up, his figure was still shaking, holding his wine glass high, looking at King Qi.

Bei Jinchuan looked at him, the smile in his eyes didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, but was cold and cool.

Bei Jinchuan picked up the wine on the table and played with it in his hands, shook it a bit, looked at Shu Chenghe who was still holding his glass high, and sneered in a low voice.

"Master Shu is a man of love."

Bei Jinchuan raised his wine glass to salute him, Shu Chenghe drank it in one gulp, seeing King Qi finally put the wine glass to his mouth, his cloudy old eyes flashed a gloomy light.

Jiang Yu secretly tugged on Bei Jinchuan's sleeves, worry was hidden in his cold eyes.

Bei Jinchuan gave the boy a reassuring look, then drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

Seeing King Qi drink the wine, Shu Chenghe smiled with satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, His Highness and I also hit it off right away. Knowing that His Highness came to provide disaster relief for Linzhou, I, Shu Manor, would like to offer food with both hands to solve His Highness' problems."

Jiang Yu frowned, listening to Shu Chenghe's words, he always felt that something was wrong.

No, how could Shu Chenghe be obediently willing to offer food, there must be something wrong with it!
"Master Shu shared the country's worries, and His Majesty will definitely not treat the Shu family badly after knowing about it."

While paying attention to whether there is any abnormality in King Qi, she also pays attention to Shu Cheng and every little movement.

Sure enough, when she saw a maid carrying a plate pass by Shu Chenghe, Shu Chenghe seemed to whisper something to her, and then saw the maid hurried away with a strange expression.

Jiang Yu was very energetic in his heart, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Suddenly, she heard King Qi humming, his face was reddish, his expression was blurred, as if he was drunk, he fell on the table.

"I didn't expect His Highness to be so overwhelmed by alcohol. It was Shu who didn't think carefully, so someone came to help His Highness down to rest."

Seeing King Qi lying on the table, Shu Chenghe smiled triumphantly, looked at the young man beside him and explained with a smile.

Jiang Yu's cold face sank slightly, and he immediately stood beside King Qi and stopped the guards who wanted to take King Qi away.

"What is the miracle doctor doing? King Qi is drunk, and Shu wants to send His Highness to rest."

Shu Chenghe looked at the thin young man with no respect on his face, his eyes were not kind, and his tone was a bit rude.

Jiang Yu pursed her lips, turned around and saw King Qi's eyelashes moving slightly, said nothing, stepped aside and watched the guards lead King Qi away.

Only then did Shu Chenghe smile with satisfaction, seeing the young man's tone eased again.

"Come on, genius doctor, let's continue drinking."

Jiang Yu didn't have the heart to deal with him, and from the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to the direction in which King Qi left.

Shu Chenghe looked at the young man who remained cold and did not speak or drink, and sat there upright as if separated from the noisy world, ignoring him at all.

His eyes were gloomy, and his face was a little displeased. He put down the wine glass in his hand and slammed it on the table, making a loud noise.

"Does the genius doctor look down on me, Shu?"

Only then did Jiang Yu glance at him lightly, his face was calm and he couldn't see any emotion.

"I don't know how to drink, Master Shu forgive me."

Shu Chenghe lowered his face, seeing the noble aura around the young man, he became serious.

"I still don't know what is the relationship between the genius doctor and King Qi?"

He secretly observed the subtle expression changes on the boy's face.

Jiang Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, allowing him to look at him, his whole body undiminished.

"King Qi is honorable, how can I have any relationship with His Highness?"

The expression on the boy's face didn't change when he said these words, it was cold and calm, not at all like the reaction a boy of his age should have.

Suddenly, a servant girl ran over in a hurry.

"It's not good, master, miss, she..."

The maid lay on the ground sobbing and crying, faltering and hawing.

Shu Chenghe narrowed his eyes, and his words were a little harsh.

"What's wrong with Miss?!"

The little maid raised her red and swollen eyes from crying, and her shoulders twitched.

"Miss was underestimated by King Qi."

After speaking, she sobbed and cried again.

Jiang Yu's heart sank, and his cold eyes dimmed.

It happened, something happened.
