The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

Chapter 412: This incident was caused by a lower official’s abruptness

"I didn't call you blind!" Jiujiu said: "The contents of these three big boxes are not all salt. Under the salt, there are stones and soil."

"Stone?" The Dali Temple Minister was stunned for a moment, and then asked someone to put the salt in a cloth bag to see what was under the box. Is it the stone or soil that the princess mentioned?

After removing the thin layer of salt, I saw that there were stones and some soil hidden under the salt.

"How is this possible?" Lu Xixi couldn't accept it and didn't hold back. She spoke rashly, "It's obviously salt! It's salt!"

[Why is he so sure? 】

[Could this salt have anything to do with him? 】

Jiujiu noticed him and gave him a meaningful look.

Nan Yuanxiang's eyes also fell on Lu Xixi and did not move for a long time. Lu Xixi's back was chilled by the sight.

The minister of Dali Temple asked: "Princess, what is the purpose of putting stones and soil in the box and spreading a layer of salt on top?"

Nan Yuanxiang said: "Put a stone pot on the caravan road to cook! Salt is a condiment, so naturally you need to bring more."

"But within a reasonable amount."

This explanation is quite reasonable.

only--

"Can't you pick up stones on the road? Do you have to put them in a box and carry them with you? Aren't you tired of running all the way?" asked the Minister of Dali Temple.

"This..." Nan Yuanxiang smiled bitterly and touched his head, and said: "I have to ask the merchants from the Western Regions about this. I didn't bring the things. I just happened to know this when I was checking the goods. I don't know how they did it." Thought."

"Two stewards, do you agree?" Jiujiu and Nan Yuanxiang cooperated very well. She turned around and asked Lu Haer and Lu Xixi.

Luhar nodded and glanced at Lu Xixi speculatively.

Lu Xixi also nodded.

At this moment, the three boxes of salt were gone and turned into those things. It made little difference whether he recognized them or not.

However, he couldn't figure out why the salt suddenly disappeared?

What kind of expert discovered that the package had been swapped?

Now, they could not harm Nan Yuanxiang, and their goal could not be achieved.

How should I explain to the mysterious man in red?

Lu Xixi was worried.

The Minister of Dali Temple had no doubts.

Jiujiu glanced at Lu Xixi and asked Dali Temple Minister, "Dali Temple Minister, the one who told you that there was private salt in the goods we traded should be Lu Xixi, right?"

There was a hint of certainty in his voice.

Lu Xixi's heart suffocated.

The Minister of Dali Temple said nothing and acquiesced.

"I advise you to check this Lu Xixi carefully?" Jiujiu reminded, "Check why he is so sure that there is illegal salt in the goods being traded? And why is he so targeting us?"

The Minister of Dali Temple nodded, "The princess's reminder is correct. I will definitely investigate it carefully."

"This matter is due to the rudeness of the lower official. He misunderstood that Miss Nan was selling illegal salt, and almost got the princess involved. The lower official apologized." The minister of Dali Temple nodded sincerely and apologized in a very respectful manner.

Jiujiu said: "Don't blame those who don't know, it's okay."

"Then I have resigned."

The Minister of Dali Temple glanced at Lu Xixi and led the people back. When he was ready to go back, he would check on Lu Xixi and do a good job.

But as soon as he took a few steps back, several more people stopped him. Judging from their clothing, although they were all tattered and dirty, you could tell where they came from.

They should be from Mucheng, a place on the border between Western Chu and the Western Regions.

"What are you doing? Why did you stop me?" asked the Dali Temple Minister.

"Replying to your lord, our city lord of Mucheng was suddenly killed, and his body was hidden in the batch of goods traded by merchants from the Western Regions and Miss Nan's family. Moreover, the death of our city lord is inseparable from them. Please be aware of the details and help our city lord. Call the shots.”

"I beg you."

Several people knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged loudly for mercy.

Dali Temple Qing closed his eyes weakly and complained in his heart: "I just finished searching that batch of goods, do you want to go back and search now?"

"Today, I did nothing but search for goods."

"The key is that nothing was found just now."

"What can't be found now?"

"Will this matter be investigated?"

The Minister of Dali Temple was hesitant, but this crime of hiding a corpse was not a small crime. The person who died was the lord of Mucheng. The lord of Mucheng had guarded the border city for many years and had worked very hard. He died suddenly. He could not ignore it, and the court would not ignore it either.

The Minister of Dali Temple took a breath and asked the people in front of him, "Are you sure that the body of your city lord is in that batch of goods?"

"OK." Several people nodded in unison.

The Minister of Dali Temple was confused: "But I have just searched their batch of goods, and there are no corpses?"

"That's because, sir, you didn't search the hidden compartments in the box."

"There is a box in a box with a hidden compartment underneath. It can just hold a person. Our city lord is in there. We have checked it for a long time and are sure it is correct."

"Okay! This matter of human life is at stake, I will trust you just once. Let's go and search."

The Minister of Dali Temple returned and continued to search for the goods.

At this moment, he said with certainty that there were corpses hidden in this batch of goods.

Jiujiu and Nan Yuanxiang were not frightened, but the merchants from the Western Regions were frightened. People, corpses? Where did the body come from?

"How could there be a body inside the cargo?"

"We're not hiding any bodies."

Ruhar defended.

The Dali Temple Qing said: "Just because you didn't hide it doesn't mean that Miss Nan didn't hide it either. If she killed someone and hid the body under the pretext of doing business, she was going to take it back for disposal."

Nan Yuanxiang: "..."

Good guy, I really admire Dali Temple Qing’s thinking.

Thank you again. If it hadn't been for Jiujiu, she would not have been able to escape her imprisonment this time, whether it was about her private relationship or this corpse.

woo woo woo...

Life is so hard!

I've been having a hard time carrying it lately, so I have to burn incense and worship Buddha when I get back.

"Master of Dali Temple, since you said so, please check again!" Jiujiu said: "It's useless to talk with white teeth. Why don't you check it yourself and make a decision after you finish the investigation."

"it is good."

The Minister of Dali Temple ordered people to check the goods again, especially the box with a hidden compartment that the man from Mucheng said.

A box of goods was poured out and inspected, and the bottom was lifted, but nothing was found.

"There's no body."

"Sure not."

The Minister of Dali Temple said to the people in Mucheng.

"How could it be possible? It's impossible." Several people shook their heads, unable to believe it.

At this moment, the younger brother of the city lord of Mucheng was hiding in the crowd and watching, waiting for his brother's body to be found and Nan Yuanxiang to be sent to prison so that he could repay his benefactor for saving his life.
