PDLP Chapter 365: Fat Meat in Mouth
Chapter 365: Fat Meat in Mouth
After Lin Fan left, Wu Weiwei looked at Pang Tuo.
"I heard that you used the Crown Prince as an excuse to buy up all the medicinal herb fields of the local gentry in Huizhou who were trying to squeeze you out?"
Wu Weiwei's words made Pang Tuo feel a little guilty.
The employer won't make him vomit up all the fatty meat he ate, will he?
Those people deserved it.
Knowing that he was not in Huizhou, the Huizhou Medicine Merchants Association bribed local thugs to release a large number of locusts into the ginseng seedlings they had planted, causing all the seedlings he had paid a high price for to die.
These people's goal was simply to drive him out of Huizhou.
Since they dared to do it, they can't blame themselves.
So Pang Tuo took advantage of the prince's influence and joined forces with local officials to force those people to sell their entire medicinal garden to him at a low price.
"Hehe, boss, I had no choice..."
Seeing his guilty look, Wu Weiwei smiled.
"Manager Hao, the young lady isn't scolding you; on the contrary, she's praising you!"
Lingfu chimed in from the side.
A while ago, the young lady was saying that the medicinal herb garden in Huizhou was too small, but because she didn't have the money, she couldn't expand it.
Later, after hearing that Manager Hao had acquired over 100,000 mu of medicinal herb gardens, I kept wanting to praise him.
Hearing Lingfu's words, Pang Tuo's eyes widened.
"Boss, you really don't blame me?"
He was afraid that Wu Weiwei would accuse him of bullying others by abusing his power.
After all, when they first entered Wei Garden, the owner had told them about her rules.
Wu Weiwei looked at him with a smile.
"I understand what happened. Fatty, you did a good job!"
People don't offend me, I don't offend people.
If anyone offends me, I will surely punish them!
Moreover, she now needs to produce a large number of pills, so the supply of medicinal materials cannot be interrupted.
Of course, with the medicinal herb field, she can grow even more medicinal herbs.
Given the conditions, it's definitely better to grow your own.
It's worry-free and has a stable supply of goods.
Of course, if the supply cannot be met, it will still be necessary to purchase them.
Her cousin, Dewdrop, is now in charge of her medicinal herb procurement.
The border of Nanzhao.
Chen Furong looked at the many wounded soldiers in the camp and felt very depressed.
"Lin Li, am I really that bad?"
She had clearly anticipated the enemy's next move and was confident of victory in the battle.
But the final result was utterly disastrous.
When she led her men halfway there, they were ambushed by the enemy, resulting in the loss of many of her brothers' lives. Chen Furong was devastated.
"General Chen, this is not your fault; it was Lin Haide's men who caused this!"
To be honest, Lin Li felt a little guilty.
Because of his employer's plans, he was unable to reach Chen Furong in time to provide assistance.
Thinking of Lin Haide, Chen Furong wiped the blood from her face, her eyes revealing a ruthless glint.
"He clearly had time to send reinforcements, yet he allowed our men to suffer casualties. This must have been orchestrated by the Duke of Qin..."
I blame myself for being too impulsive, wanting to make military achievements based on my own abilities, but who knew I would suffer such a big setback.
"Alright, General Chen, let's just wait patiently for the reinforcements sent by the imperial court!"
Chen Furong looked at Lin Li, who was also in a disheveled state.
"That's all it can do!"
Speaking of reinforcements, Chen Furong suddenly remembered something.
"What's wrong, General Chen?"
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Lin Li looked at her.
Chen Furong hesitated for a moment, then said to Lin Li, "Lin Li, I think I saw Prince Duan in the military camp a couple of days ago..."
Chen Furong's statement was not entirely certain.
The third prince?
Why is he not staying in his fiefdom? What is he doing here?
"Lin Li, have you noticed? Lin Haide has been acting very mysteriously lately. I have a feeling he's hiding something from us!"
Lin Li frowned as he listened to Chen Furong's words.
At this point, he seemed to have realized it as well.
No, he needs to write a letter later to inquire about the situation in the capital.
In Lin Haide's military camp, Prince Duan, Li Chengze, sat in his tent.
"Prince Duan, Chen Furong has suffered a defeat. If we join forces, I believe we can turn the tide of the battle without waiting for Lu Hanting to arrive..."
A middle-aged man with a lean and refined appearance, dressed in armor, smiled at him.
"General Lin, my condition is that the Duke of Qin support me to ascend to the throne."
However, the most important thing now is to put in a good word for me with my father so that he can lift my confinement and allow me to return to the capital.
"If you can grant me this request, I'll gladly accept anything, not only to turn the tide of the war, but even to lead troops to attack Nanzhao!"
"This……"
Lin Haide hesitated.
"What? You only want me to do the work, but not give me any benefits?"
Lin Haide hesitated.
Prince Duan only provided him with some food and medicine, but did not send out a single soldier.
Although the Duke of Qin has regained consciousness, he is still recovering.
If it were merely a matter of praising him before the Emperor to lift his confinement, he would naturally agree.
After all, if they win this battle, the emperor will definitely promote him based on his merits.
But as for helping him ascend to the throne, he dared not guarantee that on behalf of the Duke of Qin.
Seeing Lin Haide hesitate, Prince Duan stood up.
"Since you can't reach an agreement, then let Lu Hanting come to your rescue!"
Seeing that Prince Duan was about to leave, Lin Haide quickly said, "Prince Duan, please don't be in such a hurry. You must allow me and my subordinates to discuss this matter!"
As Lin Li passed by Lin Haide's camp from afar, he saw four soldiers on duty at the entrance and knew that what Chen Furong had told him was probably true.
Lin Haide was indeed up to no good.
After a ten-day journey, Liu Shuning finally returned to the capital.
The Liu couple held their daughter's hand tightly, tears welling in their eyes.
"Ning'er, you've suffered so much!"
Upon seeing his daughter sitting in a wheelchair, Grand Tutor Liu knew that she must have suffered greatly.
Grand Tutor Liu was shocked that the eldest princess dared to treat his daughter in this way, and in a fit of rage, he quickly summoned his men.
"Steward Xu, please deliver a letter to Zhang Huainan for me..."
Zhang Huainan is his student and is currently the prefect of Baizhou City.
With wars raging in various countries, merchants are hoarding grain everywhere.
Le'an County is located next to the northern border and borders Baizhou City to the east. In the past, most of the supplies in Le'an County had to pass through Baizhou.
Grand Tutor Liu's idea was for him to find a way to block all supplies flowing into Le'an County, cutting off her supply for a period of time, so that the Princess would know that she was not without means to punish her.
"I know, sir!"
Seeing the butler leave, Liu Shuning looked at the father in her body.
I didn't expect him to be so tough.
I thought that Grand Tutor Liu was a soft tofu, someone who could be molded and manipulated at will.
It seems we underestimated him.
Since he wanted to make things difficult for the princess, Liu Shuning naturally wouldn't interfere.
Let the princess see that she is still loved.
War is about to break out in the northern frontier. If the supply to Le'an County is cut off at this critical moment, I'm afraid the Princess will be extremely anxious!
Haha, Liu Ziyu has indirectly gotten revenge for himself.
As for the eldest princess, she did not entirely believe the letter that Liu Shuning had someone give her before she left.
After all, this sounds eerie.
However, if war were to break out in the northern frontier, it might prove that she is indeed her Yan'er.
