The imperial concubine was spoiled by the prince again

Chapter 400

Is there really something tricky?
He couldn't bear to listen to these nonsense stories from the people's mouths, and the more he listened to them, the more he had a headache, so he decided to go directly to General Guan.

As soon as I met Huo Zhennan, I felt that he and Lao Guan could get along well.

Whether it's the tendons on his body or the straightforward way of speaking, they all suit his appetite, and the two of them call each other brothers.

Huo Zhennan didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Brother Guan, to tell you the truth, I came to you today because I was curious about the supplies you brought back today!"

General Guan laughed loudly: "What's the matter? If you ask, you can ask. I have nothing bad to say, brother. His Royal Highness asked me to buy it."

Huo Zhennan didn't understand: "Where did the prince get so much money?"

Don't they all say that His Highness the Crown Prince is clean?

General Guan counted with him with his fingers: "The bandits got about 10,000+ taels, and the round trip of food sales seemed to cost 10,000+ taels. That's 80 taels."

"To tell you the truth, bro, this is the first time I've seen so much silver!"

"At that time, I was worried that I would be greedy, but His Royal Highness didn't even look at it, and gave it to me to go to the neighboring county to buy food. At that time, I thought, this is the life-saving money of the common people. If I have evil thoughts, I will no longer be a beast!"

"Later, well-meaning people sent more than 50 taels of good silver one after another. I have handled a total of more than 190 million taels of silver. Hey, I deliberately went back and forth and counted many times! So much money ah!"

Huo Shangshu's brain started to feel dizzy again: "Wait a minute! Let's not talk about the good money, I can understand the income from the suppression of bandits. What's the meaning of selling food?"

General Guan patted him: "That's what it means literally. His Highness the Crown Prince has been selling grain at the gate of Lunan County for a while."

Huo Shangshu was puzzled: "What does the prince do selling food?"

General Guan spread his hands: "You don't know? What a coincidence! I can't understand either!"

"Anyway, His Royal Highness is buying and selling like this, the food is gone, and the silver is more than three 10,000+ taels."

"Your Highness told me that the food has arrived in the county, and the people will not go hungry for a while, and then let me go to the neighboring county to continue buying food! The money I got from selling the food was bought back doubled! Amazing! Hey brother, let me tell you, I was worried that His Highness would lie to me, but when I came back, I found that the people are really well-fed! Our food is really well stocked in Hope Village!"

Huo Zhennan felt even more confused after hearing this: "How do you know that the grain at the gate of the village is the prince's food and not the fifth prince's?"

General Guan didn't understand: "What does this have to do with the Fifth Prince?"

"There is a mark on our grain bags, and there is a pack of insect repellent medicine in each bag of grain. I am very familiar with that smell! When I opened a porridge shed at the gate of the city, I had to open several packs a day! "

"I heard from the prince's people that it is a prescription given by the prince's family, Liang Di. A small package can prevent worms from growing in the rice. No one else has this prescription!"

Huo Zhennan grasped the key point, he immediately ran to the place where the fifth prince was detained, randomly ordered a few people out, and took them to the place where the food was placed.

"Do you have any impression of these grains?"

Those people nodded without looking at it: "Yes, yes, of course, this is the property of our Fifth Highness! Later it was stolen by the prince's people!"

Huo Zhennan asked, "Are you sure?"

Those who hurriedly affirmed: "Of course, this is the disaster relief food given by the emperor. There is no reason why we don't know it!"

"Besides, at this juncture, who else can provide so much food at once, except for His Highness the Fifth Highness who is responsible for disaster relief?"

Huo Zhennan didn't ask any more questions, but casually brought up a bag of rice and said that he needed to check it. After opening the bag, he picked up the small medicine bag inside.

"Hey, what is this?"

The few people looked at it indifferently: "I guess it accidentally fell into it while packing the grain. What kind of smell is it? Don't smoke the rice."

As he said that, he threw away the medicine bag.

"Well, Mr. Huo, we haven't had enough to eat for several days, can we..."

Huo Zhennan immediately kicked the person away: "What the hell, go back!"
