"Your Highness Xiang, there is another thing. Please tell Mr. Chen that Zhong Ronggui is willing to cooperate with the government and cooperate inside and outside. If there is any abnormal movement in the caravan, he will convey the message to the yamen runners and ask Mr. Chen to pay more attention."
Xiao Lingyue said: "Most of the people in the caravan were dragged into the water and did not know the real smuggling business of the caravan. Except for Zhong Ronggui, there was only one accountant named Mr. Yan, who needed special attention.
There is also a Nanyan dead soldier next to him, so be careful not to let someone run away.”
King Xiang nodded seriously: "I know, and I will tell you truthfully to Minister Chen."
"The transaction time is tonight, and there is probably a tough battle."
Xiao Lingyue rubbed her eyebrows, "I have to take a break first, nourish my energy, and then go to the trading mountain to see the situation in advance."
King Xiang frowned and said, "You are going alone? Are you waiting for the third brother to meet?"
Xiao Lingyue curled her lips: "What kind of cooperation? He might have arrived on the mountain long ago."
King Xiang: "??"
"What's the meaning?"
Xiao Lingyue said inexplicably: "Your Highness, both parties do business, and only someone buys it if someone sells it. The Nanyan Caravan who secretly buys the iron ore is the Nanyan Caravan. So guess who is the one who secretly sells the iron ore?"
King Xiang was stunned and his face turned slightly ugly: "The person in charge of the imperial tomb?"
"That's right."
Xiao Lingyue said: "The Nanyan caravan is nominally engaged in wood and stone business. The largest and most frequent wood and stone transportation near the Log Town is only the imperial tomb being built. What's more, in the capital, His Royal Highness found someone stealing the Ministry of Works. Among the wood and stone raw materials, these raw materials were transported by the army and sent to the imperial tomb.
In this way, it is obvious who is reselling these smuggled iron ore!"
The imperial tomb is under construction.
This is the biggest and most important construction that the emperor attaches most in his life.
With the full support of the court, a large amount of logs and stones were sent to the imperial tombs in a steady stream.
Even if there is only one-tenth of the private goods, the iron ore smuggled over time is an astonishing number.
Someone from the Ministry of Works smuggled out.
The imperial tomb must be taken over by someone, and it must not be discovered by others.
You should know that although the location of the imperial tomb is remote, it involves many people, including thousands of craftsmen, hard labor, chefs, servants, and army stationed and protected.
I wanted to transfer the wood and stone materials that were secretly hiding the iron ore to the Nanyan caravan.
Ordinary craftsmen do not have such great skills in hard labor.
There are only two types of people who are likely.
First, the inspector, who is responsible for the construction of the imperial tomb, is the general person in charge.
The second is the guard general stationed in the army.
However, the general is a military post and is only responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial tombs and does not involve the construction of the imperial tombs.
In other words, it is impossible to get in touch with those wood and stone raw materials.
Moreover, the military affairs of Beiqin were all under the control of Beihan. Xiao Lingyue did not think that anyone dared to act in trouble under his nose or even secretly sold iron ore.
The most likely one is the inspector of the imperial tomb.
King Xiang looked ugly: "I remember that the one who is responsible for inspecting the imperial tomb for his father is a distant uncle of the royal family, named "
Xiao Lingyue shook her head: "It doesn't matter who it is, Zhan Beihan should have guessed it too. When I went to Li's house last night, he specially asked a guard to wait for me near Li's house, saying that he would hand over Li's house to me. But I don't know where to go.
I stared at Li’s house, where else could he go?
Of course I went to the imperial tomb and went to settle the score with someone!"
Xiao Lingyue had already guessed this when she saw the guard last night.
