The regent's little Jiaojiao is so troublesome

Chapter 715 You are not a subject of our Southern Chu State, how can you testify for our Southern Chu State soldiers?
Chu Tianci cast a cold glance at Feng Kun: "As Lord Feng said, everyone in the world knows that this king is General Bai's brother-in-law. Therefore, if this person proves to Jinling, he must first find this king, General Bai. Brother-in-law, however, this king does not seek his own government when he is not in his position, so this king does not know what the witnesses and physical evidence are, so he can only bring them to this celebration banquet, and ask the emperor to decide."

As Chu Tianci said, he turned his head to look at Emperor Chu: "I think the emperor doesn't want to wrong any of the virtuous ministers and generals in Southern Chu. If General Bai is really innocent, the emperor can't bear him being imprisoned."

These words blocked all the words that Emperor Chu wanted to say in his heart.

After all, in Emperor Chu's heart, he has always maintained his image as a Mingjun, which is why although he wished to kill Chu Tianci in his heart, he never took action against Chu Tianci in the open.

Emperor Chu's face was expressionless, but his voice was sincere: "In that case, please bring the witnesses and evidence. If it really proves that General Bai has meritorious deeds, I will return his innocence."

The eunuch announced the number, and after a while, a young girl in green came in from outside the hall.

The girl looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and the clothes on her body are different from Nan Chu's clothes. The top and bottom pants are separated. She has an oval face, quite handsome eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that are very lively, revealing wisps of light, At first glance, he is a shrewd master.

The girl walked to the middle, folded her hands in front of her chest, and knelt down to salute Emperor Chu: "Nan Xiang, the daughter of the owner of the South China Sea Island, pays her respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Southern Chu. Long live, long live, long live, His Majesty."

The South China Sea Island is an island in the South China Sea. It has not belonged to any country for a long time, but it has maintained close ties with surrounding countries.

Emperor Chu raised his hand slightly: "Excuse me."

Nan Xiang thanked her, then stood up.

Emperor Chu looked at her: "You are not a subject of our Southern Chu Kingdom, how can you testify for our Southern Chu Kingdom's soldiers?"

Nanxiang: "Your Majesty, although the South Sea Island does not belong to the South Chu State, it has always had business contacts with the South Chu State. Especially at the beginning of this year, Pingnan City was hit by a tsunami that was rare in ten years. The business between Pingnan City and South Sea Island The relationship is much closer."

As she said that, Nan Xiang took out a stack of papers from the bag that was straddling her body, and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the transaction record between Pingnan City and Nanhai Island this year, Your Majesty, please have a look."

The eunuch came down and took the notebook from Nan Xiang's hand.

When Emperor Chu was reading the scriptures, Nanxiang said from the side: "This year, the people who traded with Nanhai Island were mainly Bai Xu, the guard of Pingnan City, because the tsunami destroyed most of the manors and crops of the people in Pingnan City. , Therefore, this year's trading items are mainly concentrated in staple food."

Emperor Chu looked at those records, all of them were the transaction records of Bai Xu buying potatoes.

"Potatoes are your staple food?" Emperor Chu asked.

Nan Xiang replied: "We don't have that much food in the South China Sea, but there are a lot of potatoes. Even if we don't have it in the South China Sea, we can buy it from other neighboring countries. Moreover, compared with rice and flour, potatoes are more expensive. The price is relatively cheap, and it is also resistant to hunger, and it is more convenient to grow.

Therefore, General Bai chose to buy this staple food. "

Emperor Chu looked down and remained silent for a while.

Feng Qiu on the side said: "Your Majesty, although it is for the sake of the people, General Bai's actions are suspected of trespassing. After all, General Bai's duty is to guard the border, and the responsibility of appeasing the people should be completed by the defense of the border. .”
