Chapter 237 A bigger conspiracy
The next morning, Yuwen Bo and General Jia led a group of troops to the capital of Rong State, which was only a day and a half away from Aiguan.
Prince Zi'an arrived half a day earlier and rushed to Andu with Yangyang.
Tang Yuwei had already learned this from his letter to Prince Zi'an, but this was not his initial prediction. Before that, Prince Zi'an was extremely determined that he must take Yangyang away with him.
So letting Yuwenbo go was just a diversion, or a bait. In the end, it still depends on the power of the Helanqin clan in Rong State...
He himself rushed to Sand City, because he had to cooperate with Helan Qin to investigate something before Yangyang entered the palace.
Helan Qin's Chamber of Commerce was established throughout the Rong Kingdom. In the past few days, he had been investigating all the accounts over the years day and night to find the accounts involving the Dapu Kingdom.
After several days of exhausting fighting, before Tang Yuwei left, the steward came to report, "Sir, we found it!"
"Found it?" He Lanqin rubbed his eyes, trying to keep them open. "Tell me quickly!"
"Six years ago, the eldest son opened up wool shipping exchanges with Dapuguotong County. It was actually a normal transaction. However, after we compared a batch of herbs, we found that there was a huge error!"
"How is it related to herbs?"
"Third Young Master, you don't know that some of the herbs in our Rong Kingdom are not available in Dapu Kingdom. In the past, it was expressly prohibited to exchange them. But since the eldest young master established exchanges with Dapu Kingdom, this batch of herbs has been dispersed in each wool shipment to Dapu Kingdom!"
"Herbs? We have never come into contact with this kind of herbs before!" Helan Qin was already quite familiar with the Helan family's business, but after investigating these days, he found out that his brother had done a lot of illegal activities over the years.
Speaking of herbs, Helan Qin finally reacted, "Is there any Tibetan withered grass?"
The steward nodded and said, "Third Master is wise! In addition to the Tibetan withered grass, there are several other medicines, all of which are semi-toxic drugs that can cause mental disorders!"
"Why didn't you find out before? Or you guys didn't dare to tell the eldest master!" He Lanqin was slightly angry, "But can we find out who the transaction was with and where the transaction was made?"
"Third Master, if we look at each batch alone, it is not much. We did not think of this before. Now it seems that although each batch is to ordinary merchants, it is a considerable amount for all the freight to Rong Country."
"That is to say, the person behind the scenes is sending people to collect the goods from ordinary merchants!"
Helan Qin thought of the Tibetan grass planted in the fields that he had confiscated in Tong County before, and set fire to it and burned it all.
But now that he thought about it, the quantity and quality of the crops grown in the fields were far inferior to what he found in the pharmacy.
As the head of the Helan family, I don’t even understand this common sense.
It seems that what is planted in the fields is just a decoy, and the real profiteers and operators are still in Rong State!
If all the previous events in Tong County were planned by Yuwen Bo, then who in Rong State was colluding with Yuwen Bo?
What is the purpose?
"If you can't find a buyer, find a seller!" Helan Qin sat up straight, a flash of surprise in his eyes. He stared at the manager in front of him and asked in a low and firm voice: "Where did these drugs come from? Who are the people who handled them?"
A thin layer of sweat appeared on the steward's forehead. After hesitating for a moment, he finally answered hesitantly: "Although these medicines also belong to the Chamber of Commerce, they are not our own goods. They... They were purchased from the manor run by Shen Dawei, the nephew of Shen Commander."
Helan Qin frowned and thought secretly in his heart.
The name Shen Dawei was not unfamiliar to him. Now, this batch of problematic drugs actually involved him. However, Shen Dawei's family originally grew herbs. It would be unreasonable to say that he had some purpose, but what if he was the commander Shen Sheng?
Things may be much more difficult than imagined!
After a moment of silence, Helan Qin took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Does Can Dawei personally take over the annual transaction of these herbs?"
The manager shook his head. "As far as I know, Shen Dawei should not know about this, because before this, their farm had been growing herbs for many years. They not only sold them to Dapu Country, but they also grew them specifically for the purpose of developing some pharmacological drugs. It doesn't seem like..."
He Lanqin snorted coldly, thinking that there must be something fishy going on. "Who is the person who handled this?"
"It's the eldest young master!" said the steward, lowering his head even deeper.
Although Helan Gai is dead now, even if we don't talk about this matter, we know that it was Helan Gai and Yuwen Bo who were behind it.
But the Helan family is just a merchant family, how could they have such great abilities and conspiracies, and have been planning for so many years, just to make the medicinal effect of Tibetan withered grass explode in the whole Dapu, causing the whole Dapu to riot.
"We have to find Can Dawei and ask him some questions! Quick!"
Helan Qin really needs to be quick, because he needs to investigate this matter and this person before Yangyang enters the palace!
Because this person was probably also related to Xuanyi stealing the military treasury map of Rong State at that time!
Tang Yuwei rode his horse and galloped all the way across the desert. As night fell, he opened the military tent.
Yu Wenjin was still studying under the lamp, and when he looked up, he saw Tang Yuwei, "Pingce, why are you back?"
There was no time for greetings. "It seems that the riot in Tong County is not limited to Tong County. Other counties in Dapu Country may also have such problems!"
Tang Yuwei told the prince about Helan Qin's investigation into the design of hiding the dead grass.
"You've noticed it, too?" Yuwen Jin put down the brush in his hand. "These days, I've checked reports from other counties and found the same problem! Officials in many counties have developed symptoms to varying degrees!"
"This is not something that happened overnight, but has been brewing for a long time, so long that it has infiltrated every city in the Great Pu Kingdom!" Tang Yuwei said anxiously, "So, Your Highness, I need you to do something."
Thinking about how deep Yuwen Bo's calculations were, it was unprecedented. Not only did he deceive them, I'm afraid even Xuanyi was kept in the dark.
Yu Wenjin had already thought of one thing, "Go to Yuzhou?"
"That's right. On the one hand, we can use this as an excuse to contain the Marquis of Changguo. On the other hand, we can investigate the Marquis of Changguo in detail and get their list of Tibetan grass distribution. Only then can we follow the county regulations!"
"But His Highness Xuanyi has already sent people to Yuzhou this morning!" Yuwen Jin has already learned the secret letter from Guan Changfeng!
"Her Highness Xuanyi only wants to blackmail the Marquis of Changguo, but the Marquis of Changguo will definitely receive the news from Yuwen Bo and try to fool him. We can't count on Her Highness Xuanyi! After all, she won't believe us!"
