I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Chapter 180: When the evil plot is exposed, the friendship becomes stronger

Baona's doubts are not groundless.

She set her sights on Zhuansun, a livestock merchant who had been active recently.

This man is shrewd and cunning, and he always manages to gain benefits from the promotion of new technologies. His eyes, which always flash with calculation, make Baona feel deeply uneasy.

She began to investigate secretly and found that Zhuansun frequently went in and out of some remote ranches and his whereabouts were mysterious.

At the same time, some herders began to whisper.

They found that although the livestock sold by Zhuansun were cheap, their physical condition was obviously inferior to that of other ranches.

What's worse, some livestock fell ill shortly after being purchased, causing considerable losses to herders.

The atmosphere of suspicion is like spreading weeds, quietly growing among the crowd.

People were talking about it, and their suspicion of Zhuansun grew deeper and deeper.

At this moment, a young herdsman Gongliang came running to find Baona with an excited look on his face.

He was panting, sweat beads on his forehead, and he was tightly clutching a piece of dirt-covered animal skin in his hand.

"Lady Baona!" he said excitedly, "I...I found this!"

Baona took the animal skin and unfolded it. It was densely covered with accounts and some unfamiliar symbols.

She carefully identified the symbols and found that they were a special herb. Although the herb was non-toxic, it would cause weakness in livestock after taking it.

And these accounts point to Zhuansun's warehouse.

"This is..." Baona's heartbeat quickened, and a feeling of excitement surged in her heart.

She finally found solid evidence of Zhuansun's conspiracy!

She looked at Gongliang,"

Gong Liang puffed out his chest, his face filled with pride.

He felt extremely proud to be able to contribute to Lady Bona.

Baona gripped the animal skin tightly in her hand, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She must expose Zhuansun's conspiracy to the public as soon as possible to prevent more herdsmen from being harmed.

She turned to look at the queen beside her, who was looking at her with encouraging eyes.

Baona seemed to have gained infinite power. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when the Queen suddenly pointed to the distance and whispered, "Look..."

Baona followed the Queen's gaze and saw a group of herdsmen walking towards them aggressively, holding sticks in their hands and with flames of anger burning in their eyes.

The leader was the Gongxi herdsman. His face was flushed and veins on his neck were bulging. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

"Zhuansun is a profiteer! We will not let him off!" the Gongxi herdsmen roared, their voices echoing in the square.

Baona's heart trembled, realizing that the time had come.

She took a deep breath, raised the animal hide in her hand, and said loudly, "Fellow villagers! I have evidence that Zhuansun mixed special herbs into the livestock, causing them to become weak and sickly. He deceived us!"

The crowd suddenly exploded, with discussions rising one after another.

Zhuan Sun's face suddenly changed, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Master Bao Na, please don't slander me! I have always been honest in my business and have never done anything wrong!"

"Really?" Baona sneered, showing everyone the accounts and herbal symbols on the hide. "These accounts clearly record the quantity and time of your purchases, and these symbols are exactly the signs of that special herb! What else do you have to say?"

Zhuansun's face turned pale and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He opened his mouth to argue, but found that he had no way to deny it.

The evidence is irrefutable, and all his excuses seem pale and powerless.

Despair surged into his heart like a tide. He collapsed on the ground powerlessly, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul.

Upon seeing this, the Queen's majestic voice echoed across the square: "Zhuansun, your crime is unforgivable! Come, take him away, confiscate all his property, and expel him from the kingdom!"

The guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Zhuansun away.

Cheers erupted from the crowd, people clapped and celebrated that justice had been served.

Baona looked at all this and felt extremely happy in her heart, and a feeling of relief spread in her heart.

She turned to look at the Queen, only to find that she was staring at her intently, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

Baona's heart trembled, and she subconsciously avoided the Queen's gaze and said softly: "I..."

The queen suddenly grabbed Baona's hand and held it tightly. Her hand was warm and strong, which made Baona feel at ease.

The Queen looked at Baona and said slowly: "Baona, you did a great job..."

The Queen held Baona's hand and said softly, "You are always so brave and wise. I am so proud of you." Baona's cheeks turned slightly red. Feeling the warmth of the Queen's palm, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She gently shook his hand back and whispered, "Without your support and trust, I wouldn't be where I am today." Seeing this, the herdsmen around them all smiled knowingly, and envious glances moved between the two of them.

The Gongxi herdsmen took the lead in applauding and praised loudly: "Lady Baona and Her Majesty the Queen are truly a perfect match!" The crowd erupted in warm applause and cheers, and an atmosphere of blessing filled the entire square.

After the Zhuansun incident was settled, the promotion of new breeding technology became smoother.

The area of ​​improved forage grass cultivation has expanded, and scientific feeding methods have gradually been accepted by herders.

Baona often goes to the pasture to guide herders in building livestock sheds and explain disease prevention knowledge.

Her patient explanations and demonstrations won the respect and love of the herdsmen.

Gongliang followed Baona closely, worked hard and was eager to learn. He quickly mastered the essentials of the new technology and became Baona's right-hand man.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow spreads across the earth.

Baona and the Queen walked side by side on the way back to the palace. The evening breeze blew gently, bringing with it the fragrance of green grass.

The Queen gazed at the rolling hills in the distance and said with emotion, "The new breeding technology has been promoted and applied on more than half of the ranches. The production and quality of livestock have been significantly improved, and the lives of the people are getting better and better. All of this is inseparable from your efforts."

Baona looked at the queen, her eyes sparkling with joy. "All this is the result of our joint efforts. Seeing the smiles on the herdsmen's faces, I feel extremely satisfied and relieved."

"Yes," the queen sighed softly, her eyes deep, "but..." She paused, with a barely perceptible worry in her tone, "I wonder how long these peaceful days can last..." Baona turned to look at the queen, and was about to ask, but saw the animal husbandry scholar Zaifu hurried over with a serious expression, holding a scroll in his hand.

He walked up to the Queen, bowed, and handed the scroll to her, his tone heavy: "Your Majesty, Lady Baona, news has come from the border..."
