Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 377: Capital City Storm 2
The method of refining petroleum and manufacturing horseshoe lamps were delivered by Song Jinxiu's military express. After experiments by the Ministry of Industry, it was confirmed that clear fuel oil could indeed be refined.
There were also a few more "qisifeng" lamps with glass lampshades in the palace, which Song Jinxiu called horseshoe lamps.
This horseshoe lantern made of glass is much brighter than the old oil-paper lanterns, and it is also not afraid of wind and rain.
Especially when he heard that the flaming oil refined from petroleum could be used on the battlefield, Liu Renxiu attached great importance to it.
The eldest prince received the order and went to the Ministry of Works. He was very dedicated to supervising the horseshoe lamps and petroleum refining. The emperor also often talked to him, and for a time the relationship between father and son was very harmonious.
However, the seventh prince still went to the imperial study every day to serve tea.
When the emperor discussed government affairs with his ministers, he would sit in on the discussion and occasionally ask for his opinion.
As a result, the call to make the seventh prince the crown prince gradually overwhelmed the call for the eldest prince.
Grand Princess Mansion.
The eldest princess was furious and killed her two subordinates.
Because a large amount of gold she had deposited in the hot spring villa disappeared.
This money was left by the King of Wei to maintain the army.
The King of Wei is the eldest son of the late emperor, and he and the eldest princess are from the same mother.
After the rebellion of the Five Kings failed, the King of Wei committed suicide to apologize. In order to protect herself, the eldest princess poisoned her own mother, thus preserving her position as the eldest princess.
Although the King of Wei's brother and mother were both dead, the Grand Princess secretly kept a group of King Wei's personal soldiers on the farm, and the batch of gold that he had originally kept in her hands was also secretly hidden by her.
The expenses for the eldest prince's succession had been high, and after the treasury was stolen, the family was stretched to the limit. The eldest princess had just thought of using the money. However, she hadn't expected that all the gold and jewelry had turned to stone.
Who did it?
When did these things disappear?
Even if such a large amount of money were to be transported out, it would be a big deal, not to mention replacing all the gold with stones.
Although she did not arrange heavy troops to guard this place, she did leave some trusted people here.
Such a big move was done silently, which reminded her of the theft in the mansion's storehouse.
There was no trace left, and it also disappeared. If the storehouse incident was caused by the prince consort stealing the key and stealing from the storehouse, then the gold-turning-stone incident was definitely not done by him.
The cave had no doors or windows, and all the exits were blocked. Not only could a person not get in, not even a mouse could get in.
Fortunately, the treasure-hunting rat blocked the crack when he went out, otherwise the princess would really suspect a rat.
When the warehouse was robbed before, the Grand Princess suspected Song Jinxiu.
Of course, at that time she was thinking of framing someone.
But now it's different, now she really doubts her.
After all, she is a top disciple of Xuantian Sect. It is possible that she has some unknown abilities since she came from Xuantian Sect.
Especially since that girl went to southern Xinjiang, the Grand Princess's Mansion suddenly became quiet, and no more "ghostly" incidents occurred.
Is this just a coincidence?
The Grand Princess doesn't believe in coincidences. Even if it is a coincidence, she would rather kill the innocent person than let him go.
To this end, she secretly sent people to search the Princess's Mansion, the Song family's villa, and even the Songjia Village in Lunshan County.
She always believed that this wealth was not a small amount, and no matter where it was placed, there would be clues to trace it.
But she was disappointed and no one got anything.
However, it cannot be said that they gained nothing. They discovered that Song Jinxiu's grandfather and his family were actually under house arrest in Songjia Village by their clan leader.
This discovery gave the Grand Princess a new plan.
Humph! This little bitch doesn't serve her parents, and she even instigates her clansmen to bully her. How could she not seize this opportunity?
One day, this handle might make that girl fall from heaven to hell.
So that day, Song Dashi, Song Dazhu and their family disappeared from Songjia Village.
The old patriarch also reported the matter to the government and wrote a letter to Song Jinxiu. Of course, all this information was blocked by Zhang Zihan.
Song Jinxiu has gone to southern Xinjiang, and even if we knew about it, it would be too far to reach her, so it’s better not to disturb her for now.
As for the whereabouts of Old Song's family, Zhang Zihan guessed that they came to the capital secretly.
Now that Song Jinxiu is the eldest princess, it would be strange if the Song family could sit still. Maybe they are not missing, but ran away secretly on their own.
So he had people guarding the gate of the capital, always keeping an eye out for any news about the Song family, and put them under surveillance once they were discovered.
In Zhang Zihan's opinion, a grandparent who had severed their relationship did not need too much attention. If all else failed, Song Sanzhu could be separated and these people would not be able to cause trouble in the princess's mansion.
Zhang Zihan discussed this matter with Song Sanzhu, so the most nervous person now is not others, but Song Sanzhu himself.
He had a premonition that once his parents found the capital, he would have no chance of staying in the princess's mansion.
Song Sanzhu's anxiety is not mentioned for now. Let's talk about the Grand Princess. When the treasury was robbed, the Grand Princess could still remain calm, but when this batch of gold was lost, the Grand Princess could no longer bear it. At this moment, she just wanted to kill someone.
Back then, when my father chose the crown prince, he chose the legitimate heir and gave up his eldest son, the Prince of Wei.
The King of Wei and she were born of the same mother, but because he was not born of a legitimate wife, he was suppressed by his legitimate brother.
Now, because of the status issue, would the emperor rather choose the seventh prince who has not yet grown up than the eldest prince to succeed to the throne?
Let a little brat who hasn't even grown up stay in the Imperial Study to listen to government affairs. Okay, if that's the case, then there's no need to keep the Seventh Prince.
The eldest princess looked at the jade pendant in her hand and said, "Royal brother, you were too soft-hearted back then. If you had listened to my advice, the Five Kings Rebellion wouldn't have happened. Now it would be you, Royal brother, sitting on the throne, and Mother wouldn't have been given the poisoned wine.
Thinking of the poisoned wine she had personally served to her mother, a hint of viciousness flashed in the eldest princess's eyes.
She revealed a bloodthirsty sneer: "Royal brother, since you don't know how to choose, then I will let you choose without any choice. When you only have one choice, wouldn't it be less troublesome?"
……
Chen Shigui went to the Xishan camp and was personally appointed by the Grand Princess as a captain of a thousand men.
So, she secretly arranged some of the King of Wei's old subordinates who were hiding in the dark to work under Chen Shigui.
At this time, Princess Corning became pregnant.
In order to cover up the scandal, the wife of Marquis Pingyang pretended to be sick. Princess Kangning understood the righteousness of the matter and wanted to marry into the Marquis Pingyang's mansion in a hurry in order to bring good luck to her mother-in-law.
For this reason, Princess Kangning was talked about by some ordinary people who did not know the truth. They said that although she was of noble status, she did not put on airs when she married into a lower class, and was a kind and filial daughter-in-law.
However, on the day of Princess Kangning's wedding, the prison where the court's serious criminals were held suddenly caught fire, and the four princes of the Nuhan Kingdom and others escaped from the prison.
As luck would have it, this group of people were encountered by the convoy of several princes and princesses who were going to attend the wedding of Princess Corning.
