Chapter 224 Chengyuan Pharmacy
Hui Chengyuan said directly: "Then the first person I suspect is the Minister of Justice Liu Zhengyang. He was the first to oppose it, and his reasons were self-contradictory."
"So, the promulgation of this law must have blocked his path, otherwise he wouldn't have panicked and lost his composure."
Yuan Man nodded, "Then I'll ask Yuan Yi to focus on investigating him and see who he will contact."
"Yuan Er, go talk to Yuan Yi."
"Yes." Yuan Er naturally couldn't go in person, so he asked Yuan Jiu to go.
Yuan Man thought for a moment and then asked, "Is Prime Minister Yao targeting you because of Yao Manman's matter?"
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Besides this, he has no other reason to target me."
"He was dedicated to his duties in Anguo. What happened today was a mistake for him."
Yuan Man naturally understood what he meant, "She is his daughter after all, it is normal for him to want to vent his anger."
"However, his suggestion that you risk your life will not only lower his impression in the eyes of the emperor, but will also bring him a lot of trouble. It is indeed not a mistake he should make."
"Let's not talk about him anymore. What will happen to him in the end depends on himself."
"Tell me, the emperor suddenly mentioned Lin Xiao as an envoy. Did you tell him about it in advance?"
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "No, I was surprised that Emperor Yun would abdicate early."
"The reason why my father proposed to send Lin Xiao as an envoy was just to teach the old Duke a lesson. He shouldn't be the first person to propose that I go as an envoy to Yun Country."
Yuan Man nodded, "Indeed."
"He still has a daughter in the palace. He really shouldn't get involved in this mess."
"After lunch, I'll take Yuankong and the others to the Ministry of Works. Do you want to come with us?" Hui Chengyuan hugged her and pulled the thin blanket over her.
Yuan Man shook his head, "I'm not going. I'm too lazy to move."
Otherwise, she would have gone to find the human traffickers' den by herself instead of letting Yuan Yi go.
"Well, you have a good rest at home, I will be back soon." Hui Chengyuan said, thinking that he had not seen Yuanbao and the queen for so long, so he asked: "Where are the queen mother and Yuanbao?"
Yuan Man yawned and said, "Yuan Bao took the Queen Mother out to play."
"Yuanbao took his mother out to play?" Hui Chengyuan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the Queen Mother didn't want to go. Yuanbao repeatedly assured her that it was fun, and then he pulled her out." Yuanman laughed as he thought of the scene.
After lunch, Hui Chengyuan accompanied Yuan Man for a walk. After Yuan Man took a nap, he took Yuan Kong and others to the Ministry of Works.
Minister of Works Yan Xiao saw the prince coming and stood up in surprise, "Your Highness, do you have anything to tell me when you come to the Ministry of Works?"
Then he looked at the group of people behind him.
Hui Chengyuan introduced Yuan Kong to Yan Xiao, and then said: "They are all people hired by the Crown Princess to build the shelter, but they only know a little about building houses, so they came to the Ministry of Works to learn from them."
"Teach them well. If it can be completed, I would like to make some changes to the military camp as well. I will trouble you, Lord Yan, then."
Yan Xiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, I will tell you everything I know."
Yuan Kong stepped forward and spread the blueprint on the table. "Master Yan, we want to build the shelter like this, a three or four-story building, so the load-bearing capacity is very important. I wonder if you have any way to solve this problem."
After Yan Xiao read it, he turned around and looked for a book left by the former minister. "This is the first time I have seen the picture drawn by Master Yuan, but the structure should be the same."
Yuan Kong nodded, "Indeed, the load-bearing problem is not difficult to solve, but I want to see the structures built in the palace."
"No problem. Have you ever been to Xunxian Tower?" Yan Xiao spread out the book. "Xunxian Tower has five floors. I have personally visited the building. It is very well built."
"But unfortunately, Xunxian Tower is only in Xizhou, Dongzhou, and Beizhou. Otherwise, you could go and take a look."
"Five floors!" Yuan Konglai was interested. Since it was possible to build five floors, he could also increase the budget for the number of floors.
Hui Chengyuan watched him discuss back and forth and realized that Yuan Kong was knowledgeable about construction, so he left the Ministry of Works and went to find Yuan Yi.
When Yuan Yi saw him coming, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness."
"How is it? Did you find it?" Hui Chengyuan picked up the letter on the table and started reading.
Yuan Yi nodded, "We have found the hideout, but the leader has not come out yet."
"West Street, Chengyuan Pharmacy." Hui Chengyuan's eyelids twitched when he saw the name.
A human trafficking den was named after his character.
Yuan Yi took a look and said with a suppressed smile, "By the way, Your Highness, Miss Xin Rong from Grand Tutor Xin's mansion is now locked up in this medicine shop. The master wants to ensure the safety of this Miss Xin."
"Miss Sun from the Xin family?" Hui Chengyuan put down the letter in his hand and looked at him.
"Yes."
Hui Chengyuan thought about his wife's previous missions, which seemed to be all about saving people, and this time should be the same. Eradicating the human traffickers' den in Kyoto was probably secondary.
"Okay." Hui Chengyuan took off the jade pendant and gave it to him, saying, "If you are unable to move around in Kyoto, show me this jade pendant to represent the prince in person."
"Yes." Yuan Yi took it with a salute. Although they were secret guards, most of them were in the open. It would be much more convenient to have this jade pendant.
Yuanman woke up from a nap and Hui Chengyuan had returned and was sitting next to her reading a book.
Seeing that she woke up, he helped her up and said, "Come, drink some water to moisten your throat first."
Yuan Man drank some water and asked, "You're back so soon."
Hui Chengyuan drank all the remaining water she had drunk, and then said, "Well, Yuankong knows architecture, so he can discuss it with the Minister of Works."
"It's time to get up."
Yuan Man nodded, "My mother and Yuan Bao haven't come back yet?"
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Yuan Qi sent a letter back saying that they went to Lucheng."
"Yuanbao is going?" Yuanman was surprised. How did Yuanbao know about Lucheng?
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "They met Si Ya, and it was Si Ya who took them there."
Yuan Man blinked, "Princess Siya."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "By the way, I brought someone back. You can meet him when you wake up."
"Who is it?" Yuan Man looked at him curiously.
Hui Chengyuan straightened her messy hair and said, "You'll know when you see it."
"Oh, you're still talking to me in confusion." Yuan Man waited for him to finish his hair and then walked out of the room.
When he saw the man eating tigers in the yard, he glared at him and said, "Yaoyao, why are you here?"
Yaoyao burst into tears as soon as she saw her, "Auntie..."
Yuan Man blinked and looked at Yuan Er who had been guarding the place next to him. Did Xin reach the Yao tribe so soon?
Yuan Er coughed lightly and said, "Master, Miss Yaoyao secretly ran away from the Yao tribe a few days after we left the Yao tribe."
"Her bag of silver was lost on the way, so she has been hungry for a long time."
