Chapter 183 - 183 Song Yuancheng Defected to the Enemy and Betrayed the Country



Granny Lin nodded, she said in a deep voice, “Yes, but there isn’t much evidence. He used to be Old Dog Song’s advisor, and there are many things that Old Dog Song didn’t let him know. He just happened to bump into it and was discovered before he could collect the evidence.”

Ming Zhiyan asked, “What evidence? What exactly is Song Yuancheng doing?”

Granny Lin looked at him and said word by word, “Betraying the country.”

Ming Zhiyuan did not have much of a reaction after hearing that. It was not strange for this to happen to Song Yuancheng. It was already expected.

“So, what did he do? Sell the territory of our Great Wei to other countries or sell the war supplies of our Great Wei?”

Song Yuancheng was an extremely greedy person. He could not be satisfied with just extorting taxes and disaster relief funds from the people in private. Since he was betraying his country, it meant that other countries were profiting from him. Cairo City not only had iron mines but also silver mines. It was rich in resources. He did not believe that Song Yuancheng had not thought of those things.

Granny Lin said, “I have not found him selling the territory, but he is a person who is afraid of death. I don’t think he would dare to do such a thing. What he did was to sell salt to the Zhu and Li countries. His mansion has a place specially for the merchants of other countries. Those merchants are the royal merchants of other countries. After Old Dog Song transported the salt to his mansion, he let the merchants of other countries transport it out of his mansion. Li Baode also found out that there were people with Zhu and Li accents in his mansion, so he became suspicious. He only told me this. After he said that he was going to investigate, there was no news. I became suspicious and contacted the people he trained. Only then did I know that he was captured. I did not have the ability to save him. Knowing that you are a person from the capital, perhaps you can contend with Old Dog Song, so I wrote you a letter.”

Ming Zhiyan finally understood the strangeness of Song Yuancheng’s mansion. The entrance to the dungeon where Jian Qingqing was imprisoned was so hidden, and there was a huge and empty space inside, it turned out that it was used to store salt. With such a huge dungeon, it was unknown how much salt Song Yuancheng had sold to other countries.

Salt was an important asset of a country, and Song Yuancheng had really stolen a lot of Great Wei’s property.

He slowly looked at Granny Lin and asked, “So you don’t have any evidence of him betraying the country?”

Granny Lin shook her head and said, “No. Although he’s a good-for-nothing, he’s always been cautious in doing things. Very few people handle these matters, and he killed those who found clues.”

Ming Zhiyan nodded and said, “Okay, I got it.”

It was much easier to find evidence after knowing what he had done. No matter how clean a person’s actions were, there would always be traces left behind.

Ming Zhiyan was about to leave, but Granny Lin stopped him and asked hesitantly, “Can I go and see Li Baode?”

“Yes, let the servant girl take you.”

Granny Lin thanked him gratefully.

Ming Zhiyan had not slept for two nights, but he still had many things to deal with, so he did not even have breakfast and went to arrange for people to investigate Song Yuancheng’s matter.

It was already noon when Jian Qingqing woke up. She first went to check on Lin Zhiqing. He was still sleeping, and seeing that his condition had not worsened, she went out to eat.

Xiao Lang cried and threw itself into her arms, shouting, “Sis! I miss you so much!”

Jian Qingqing rubbed her stomach that hurt from the bump, pushed him, and said, “I don’t miss you.”

“Ow!” Xiao Lang looked at her with a wronged expression, as if complaining about why she did not miss him.

Jian Qingqing touched her nose guiltily and changed the topic. “Did your second brother go to school today?”
