Chapter 178 Blocking all places in Nanyue
Nan Wushang spread his hands and said in a bored tone: "Tsk, you coward!"
After saying that, he looked at Luo Xi: "This person... do you still want him?" As if nothing had happened just now.
Luo Xi: "..."
"Send him to Jiuxian and have him interrogated thoroughly." She said to Le Zheng Feiyuan.
After saying that, Luo Xi left.
"Hey, don't go. Give me two more medical books." Nan Wushang waved and shouted at Luo Xi's back.
Le Zheng Feiyuan stared at him with a strange expression for a long time before ordering the guards behind him to carry Zhou Zhi away.
Is this person good or evil?
Or maybe he really has no interest in anything other than medicine.
It was just past noon when the result came out from Jiuxian. In Luo Xi's study, he was eating snacks on the table while dropping a bombshell with an expressionless face.
"Xiao Yi did join the Left Prime Minister, but he did not become someone's adopted son. Instead,... he was originally Xiao He's son."
"This is impossible!" Yin Li stood up suddenly: "His father was a hunter named Xiao Tieshan. Although he was killed by wolves ten years ago, he is definitely Xiao Yi's father. He can't be that Left Prime Minister Xiao He."
Luo Xi: "..."
A series of ridiculous plots have emerged in my mind.
For example, a farm girl meets a handsome young man who is studying abroad, and then things happen. The handsome young man swears to marry her forever, but in the end he never comes back. The farm girl has no choice but to marry an honest hunter in the mountains with the baby in her arms.
For example, a handsome young man fell in love with a beautiful woman, but there was a tigress at home, so he had to send his beloved daughters away with tears in his eyes, and even asked his trusted subordinates to disguise themselves as hunters to protect them.
Another example...
"Maybe, what you know is just the surface." Luo Xi said to Yin Li.
"But..." After uttering one word, Yin Li couldn't continue.
After going through so many things, Yin Li knew that no matter how good the relationship was, people still had their own secrets.
And what he just said was just what Xiao Yi told him. As for the truth, who knows.
"So, it was he who told the left prime minister or the court about the Nanyue County affairs." Yin Li said bitterly.
"No wonder we couldn't find anyone. It turns out that Zuo Xiang was secretly helping us."
"Boss." At this time, Le Zheng Feiyuan stood up and said, "Based on my understanding of Zuo Xiang, he knows so much about our situation. It is impossible for him to just send someone to buy things secretly. I'm afraid he has a trick up his sleeve."
Luo Xi's eyes narrowed and he looked over: "Any clues?"
Le Zheng Feiyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I really can't guess."
He was not afraid of anyone in battle, but he was really not good at the twists and turns in the court.
Luo Xi couldn't guess it for a moment, so he had to ask everyone to be more vigilant, and asked Le Zheng Feiyuan to send more soldiers to patrol in case of any accidents.
Speaking of this, she thought of the vendors at the market.
"Rong Bai, prepare some gifts and send them to Du Sanlang and the others. Remember, don't leave out any of those who helped this time."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Rong Bai responded readily this time.
The pharmacy business was booming recently, and his silver vault, well, it should be that their silver vault was getting fuller and fuller, and he was starting to feel generous again.
When Du Sanlang and his friends received the reward personally delivered by Rong Bai, everyone was stunned.
"Rong, Lord Rong, is this really for us?" Du Sanlang asked stupidly.
Recently, Rong Bai has been working as the shopkeeper in a drug store, and almost everyone in the city knows him.
Rong Bai waved his hand proudly: "That's true."
"The boss said that you have made great contributions in catching the spy. This is what you deserve."
Seeing that they still looked distracted, he grinned and said, "Why, you don't want it? Fine, I'll take it back and use it myself."
That wouldn't work. All the vendors quickly grabbed the things and piled them behind them. These were given to them by the boss and they could be kept as heirlooms.
"Don't worry, Lord Rong. We will keep a close eye on every corner of the city and will never let any suspicious person escape." Du Sanlang patted his chest loudly.
Others nodded.
"Okay, you are all great." Rong Bai couldn't help but sigh. This boss could find so many spies just by eating something.
However, this time, before Du Sanlang and his companions could find the suspicious person, the goods transporter from the Rong family's shop came with a sad face.
"Young Master, something bad has happened."
"The imperial court has blocked off all areas of Nanyue County. People can enter and leave, but all property is seized. Whether you are coming in or going out, your belongings will be taken away by the soldiers."
"The goods transported by our caravan have been intercepted several times, causing heavy losses."
Rong Bai's face changed and he stood up in an instant: "What did you say? When did this happen?"
"We just happened to bring some goods back from various places in the past few days. Who would have thought that when we stepped into the territory of Nanyue County, we were stopped by soldiers and they said they would confiscate all the goods."
Rong Bai stared at him, feeling very disappointed: "Just give it to me when I ask you to?"
The cargo carrier fell to his knees, shaking all over: "But there was a caravan ahead that refused to give us the goods, and the soldiers drew their swords and attacked without saying a word. They killed everyone in the caravan, but the goods were still taken away."
"Everyone?" Wei Qing, who had just recovered from a serious illness and resumed his original post, turned pale.
"How many such cases are there?" he asked?
"A lot!" The courier raised his head and said, "According to my count, there are dozens of caravans. If we add ordinary people, then... it's too numerous to count."
Wei Qing collapsed on the chair, his eyes dull: "They...are so cruel."
"Don't worry, Lord Wei. It was only at the beginning." The courier continued, "After that, everyone saw the situation clearly and either gave it up or turned around and left. No one was killed anymore."
"It's just... Nanyue County has almost become a dead city now. Many people don't dare to go in or out."
Wei Qing was not comforted at all. His heart was chilled. He stood up shakily and walked outside.
"Brother Rong, let's go find the boss."
When they arrived, Luo Xi already knew about this and called Yin Lile, Zheng Feiyuan and others to the study.
Seeing two people coming, he motioned for them to find a place to sit down.
"In this case, the other things are fine, but salt is a bit troublesome. It is a consumable and is used up quickly." Le Zheng Feiyuan said with a heavy face: "Moreover, if the soldiers do not eat salt for a long time, they will lose their strength and get sick."
"In this way, if the imperial army attacks us, we may collapse without a fight."
"It's impossible for them to attack us, otherwise they wouldn't have used the siege tactic." Yin Li analyzed rationally: "I heard that the imperial court and the Heavenly God Cult are fighting at a critical point, and they don't have any extra troops to deal with us for the time being."
