Chapter 581: Madness (4)_1
"Yue Lin, how are things going on your end?" Lin Ziyin was happy, which meant Chu Suifeng was happy. Seeing Lin Ziyin start to eat heartily, he shifted the topic.
"Those bandits are cunning indeed. Just like the Prince and Mr. Situ anticipated, they took advantage of the Tatar’s siege to transport grain from the mountain. I led my troops and managed to intercept the grain; though, a few of them did manage to escape." Si Jinhan responded lazily, continuing to eat as he spoke, picking up his chopsticks once more.
"This batch of grain is connected to the Marquis Residence and You Residence. The quantity exported is not large. But our spies have found out that they have been involved in larger transactions with Hei Chu." Situ Gong said regretfully.
The Marquis Residence, being the Prince’s maternal family, used to be decent when the old Marquis was alive. Even if they did not show much concern for the Prince, they never made life difficult for him.
After the old Marquis death, the current Marquis seemed to have grown increasingly greedy.
The third generation from the Marquis Residence, Li Jiesong and the You family, were far worse in character, even ordinary aristocratic children were better than them.
But what about the old lady?
Thinking of her sacrifices over the years, Situ Gong found it extremely tricky.
"Not a single grain should leave the city." Chu Suifeng cooled his face.
Si Jinhan looked at Chu Suifeng with an ambiguous smile, and promised, "Don’t worry, Prince, the grain cannot be allowed to leave Border City. But this will certainly distress Hei Chu. Does the Prince still want to let them off?"
Luo Heng slightly furrowed his brows on the side. He knew who was backing Hei Chu.
