Chapter 58 King Xi is very troubled

King Xi couldn't keep his face off.

After receiving Xie Xiangxiang's letter and seeing what she said, he secretly sent his confidant Zhang San'ao to survey and excavate at the foot of Shensuo Mountain in Laizhou, Shanxi, to see if there was any gold mine.

Zhang Sanwa took fifteen people with him and left Prince Xi's Mansion. Less than 100 miles out of the city, he collided with Zhou Shaoyu, the demon king.

Zhou Shaoyu grabbed Zhang San'ao and refused to let him go. He scoundrelly said that Zhang San'ao had hurt his waist, so he took him to the imperial court to judge him. He did not allow Zhang San'a to say all his good things and kowtow to pay for his money, but he would not do it.

When he arrived at the imperial court, Zhou Shaoyu didn't know how to pull out the letter from Zhang Sanwa.

Emperor Xuanwen saw the letter saying that there was a huge gold mine "at the foot of Shensuo Mountain in Laizhou, Jin Dynasty". He not only gave Zhang San'ao a good beating, but also sent Zhou Shaoyu to see if there was any gold mine.

Emperor Xuanwen knew that Zhang Sanwa belonged to King Xi, so he called King Xi to ask what was going on. King Xi responded accordingly and said that he had received a letter from Xie Xiangxiang. He did not know whether it was true or not, and did not dare to alert his father rashly. , just send a few people to check it out. If it is found, it will definitely be reported to the court.

Emperor Xuanwen didn't quite believe it, but no matter what his son could do, he couldn't pull him out and chop him up.

He asked the old lady from the palace to come to his home and give him a good lesson on the rules of the king and his ministers for several days, which depressed King Xi to death.

What was extremely unlucky was that he had allowed Fu Xing to run the business in Langming Mountain outside Nanyang City for so many years. He had accumulated so much food and weapons, and was preparing to start an uprising. I don't know how that bastard Zhou Shaoyu found out and took care of it all at once.

Even Fu Xing folded in.

Afraid that Fu Xing would not be able to bear the punishment, he could only endure the pain and cut off his love, and personally ordered his confidant to be silenced.

He didn't think that Zhou Shaoyu did all this. His father must have become suspicious, or it was to remove obstacles in the way for the prince's idiot brother.

He secretly summoned his maternal ancestor, Marquis Chengen, and his mother's concubine, Bao Guifei, to have a secret conversation.

He said gloomily: "I suspect that all this is my father's handiwork."

Marquis Chengen said: "It must be His Majesty's intention. Zhou Jingchen is just a proton, how dare he compete with King Xi for profit."

The precious concubine gritted her teeth with hatred: "I'm afraid that Langming Mountain has long been under your Majesty's control. The embroidered clothes guards in his hands are all-pervasive, how could they not be found? The reason why he didn't move before was because the prince is still underage, and now he wants to give it to him. Prince, please clear the way!"

King Xi is the eldest son of the emperor. He needs to be capable and well-connected. If the prince wants to secure his position, he will definitely take action against King Xi.

Years of business have been ruined, and now our hands are empty. The precious concubine asked him to take Huangfu Ming's idea.

"Huangfu Ming's family has a lot of wealth, but he doesn't even have a son. If Huangfu Ming's family property can be used, nothing can be done? Wouldn't it just be more people in the house? No matter how much a man pays, it's not too much."

He adopted Huangfu Yueyue as his wife and collected 50 shi of food. He could not wait any longer.

It was reported to Emperor Xuanwen that there was a severe drought in the Central Plains and the people were in poverty. His father-in-law gave out 10 dan of grain to help the people. He wanted to appease the people on the spot on behalf of his father.

Seeing that he was sincere, Emperor Xuanwen agreed, but sent Leng Luo, deputy commander of the Xiuyi Guards, to supervise.

Leng Luo refused to take hard or soft advice, and did not buy anyone's account. He only recognized Emperor Xuanwen.

They arrived at Xiangyang City and were thinking about what to do, but unexpectedly Huangfu Ming informed him that the grain depot was empty again.

Leng Luo saw Huangfu Ming sweating profusely and said calmly: "Prince Xi, I want to tell your Majesty the truth. Is there anything you would like to pass on to me?"

King Xi's face was dark. Where could he get 10 shi of food now?

Even if he gets it, he doesn't want to give it to the common people.

"You wait for me for a few more days. I will collect some and distribute them to the people immediately."

King Xi deceived Leng Luo while forcing Huangfu Ming, "Now that I am on fire, please try harder and allocate 5 yuan. I will always have an account to my father." There was no food near Huangfu Ming. My heart was bleeding, and I couldn't help but ask: "Then so much of our food is missing?"

"There is nothing we can do if we disappear! The government can't find it, and my people can't be found either. Stop yelling, don't let the world know, the thieves are only looking at me. If he steals so frantically, how can everyone in the world know about me?" Has the king been punished by heaven?"

Huangfu Ming felt aggrieved. He had almost lost all his family property from Kyoto to Xiangyang. Why was he not in a hurry?
"I can raise the food, but the theft has nothing to do with Xie Anfeng." Huangfu Mingyi gritted his teeth and said his guess, "I have gone to Shizimen to offer a reward to hunt them down, even the Shizimen Group A They were all mobilized, but they were still unharmed.”

King Xi's people also learned that the people from Shizimen were hunting down the exiled Xie family. Only now did he know that the person who placed the order was Huangfu Ming.

Huangfu Ming analyzed it for him, and King Xi immediately gritted his teeth and sneered: "I really want to meet Mr. Xie."

Huangfu Ming left, and King Xi immediately waved to the secret guard 1 beside him, who quickly left.

Xiangyang City Inn.

At dawn the next day, Xie Anfeng followed Xie Yanyan's instructions and went to the street to continue buying saltpeter. He also visited a lacquerware store and bought all the lacquerware, even some better-looking items, such as the best ceramics and ceramics nowadays. Bought bronze lamps and bone vessels.

Later, when he saw the jewelry store, he walked in and took a look. I originally wanted to buy some jewelry for my daughter, but where can I wear jewelry on the road of exile? In the end, I only bought Xie Yanyan a sun protection and dustproof hat, and a sun protection silk gauze gown.

After returning to the inn, Xie Yanyan got up and Xie Anfeng bought all the things he needed to buy.

"Yan'er, look at these things, are they good?"

He is actually not very good at buying things. He really doesn't know what his daughter's family likes.

Xie Yanyan took a look and found that they were all very good. The lacquerware was even more exquisite than that of Nanyang City. It mixed the aesthetics of the north and the south, and other objects were also more delicate than those in the north.

The silk hats and gauze clothes were very good. She was very moved when she held them in her hands. At this time in the former Qin Dynasty, it was very rare to have such good handmade clothes.

She took out another baggage from the house and said to Xie Anfeng: "Just now that red-haired and blue-eyed foreigner came to the store looking for someone, and I met him. He brought preserved eggs, lean meat, vegetable porridge and ice making methods. I've changed into two sets of protective clothing, so you and your eldest brother should wear them."

Xie Anfeng was extremely excited. He had seen the Prince's experiment yesterday. Of course he liked this invulnerable artifact.

"Yan'er, you should want a women's set."

"No, just you and eldest brother can protect us."

Xie Yanyan pointed to the four dishes and one soup on the table: "Eat. I'll go to Wanghai Pavilion and order a few dishes. We'll leave when we're full."

Xie Anfeng said that he would bring some food back to Xie Ning and the others. Xie Yanyan waved the token of reward from the emperor and said, "I am full of food."

Xie Anfeng laughed, he was not used to this token yet.

Before leaving Xiangyang City, they purchased enough saltpeter from the city and even made a special trip to Xiangyang County Mansion to "eat according to the order."

Sure enough, when the county guard saw the token, he immediately brought a food box and packed her meals for 10 people. It was not as good as the food in Wanghai Pavilion, but the buns, steamed buns and vegetables were enough.

They drove the carriage quickly and caught up with the exile team in Huijia Town, 50 miles away at noon.

Uncharacteristically, the exile team did not rush on their way, but stopped outside the town's inn.

From a distance, I saw a carriage and several war horses parked outside the post pavilion on Guan Road.

Under the corridor of the post pavilion, a noble man in brocade clothes stood majestically with his hands behind his back.
