Being able to cause Sheng Yan to be so restless, a woman must not be a good thing.

Seeing Sheng Yan's appearance, Lan Qin also touched a little, licking her lips, her eyes suddenly opened wide. After all, she was not a noble Miss, she was a little wild child who had been on the streets since childhood, so she knew a little more. Even if she was not professional, she had some understanding, and could at least be a form of protection for herself.

When their eyes met, they felt a sense of foreboding.

After all, the item in his hand was somewhat annoying, especially since he didn't know if it was a product from a Xuanyuan Li or not.

"Miss, this is actually ?"

"Yes, I am also very surprised, to think that it would be such an unconventional method of making flour. Do you plan to export it or frame Prince Li?"

Lan Qin looked at the continuously flowing white powder, and really wanted to stuff these bags all the way down the boat.

"If I'm not wrong, this incident involves two birds with one stone, as long as this ship does not go through the inspection of the soldiers, it will drive away without permission, causing suspicion, and after finding out the goods inside are not good, Prince Li will be shamed, and that is not all, if the spies from another country were to be captured, even if he were to lose his life, the Prince Li will not be able to explain himself."

Lan Qin nodded her head, looks like she had to frame Prince Li a little.

This matter was a bit serious, so he cut open all eight bags that surrounded him, and found the same goods.

It seemed that the only way now was to pour the contents of the bag into the water without being discovered.

Although there was some water pollution, it was still better than dragging down Xuanyuan Li s. Compared to the two princes sitting inside the capital, they were more eager to grab onto Xuanyuan Li's tail and deal with them when the time came.

So the two of them brought a bag close to the broken floor, so that the white powder inside was poured into the water.

Furthermore, when they saw that night had fallen outside, even if the water surface was covered with white waves, they would not doubt it.

After finishing one bag, he started on the second one. When he reached the fourth bag, the boat suddenly stopped.

It seemed to be a mess outside, and there were even shouts from men.

"What the hell is going on? Did we encounter a robber?"

When Sheng Yan saw that the remaining four bags could not stop their bodies, she forcefully used her hands to pull at the ground. Although this thickness was not something that a human could move, when they encountered danger, they would discover that their strength was limitless.

Lan Qin saw that Sheng Yan had put in so much effort and also helped herself, and the moment she saw the cabin door open, the two of them entered the crevice on the floor. Due to the boat's shaking, the goods were tilted and directly blocked Sheng Yan and Lan Qin's path, but the water also continued to surge up, directly wetting the edges of the goods and gradually spreading.

At the same time, Sheng Yan and Lan Qin knew how to swim a little, but they were still unable to know where they were. The distance between the two sides of the water was very far, but according to their habit of plundering, they were still relatively far from the shore.

The upper deck was already in a mess. There seemed to be a fire burning down the ship.

Although the two of them were temporarily safe under the boat, they were afraid that if the fire became too fierce, the boat's support would collapse and directly smash them into the water.

However, this worry was unnecessary. Not long after, the boat began to move. The two of them hid under the water until the riverbank was calm again. There was no sign of fire. Then, their heads slowly emerged from the water.

It looked like they were two people holding their breath.

Sheng Yan sighed. It seemed that in the ancient times, one would not be able to survive without some skills.

Looking at the ship that was leaving, he could see that it was filled with fire. At the pier far away, a group of people were moving the cargo, and those who were captured were driven onto the shore one by one.

"Miss, what do we do now?"

"Get ashore, but we can't alert them. Since there's a pier, that means we're in a town. When the time comes, we'll find an inn to stay for the night."

After they reached an agreement, they waited for the opportunity to make their move. After all, it was a little cold in the night and both of their clothes were thin. If they did not quickly change, they would catch a cold.

After dodging for some time, he finally found a medium-sized inn. After all, this sort of place had its own bathrooms.

Sheng Yan did not need a presidential suite anymore, she just needed a separate room.

After having a hot bath and changing clothes, the two of them laid down comfortably on the bed.

Although they were master and servant, Sheng Yan and Lan Qin had said that they wouldn't be trifling matters, especially when they were alone together.

This was the last set of clothes for the two of them. They left the soaked banknotes to the side to dry. The two of them were almost free of baggage. They wore civilian clothes which were comfortable and warm.

The problem was that the two of them were not going to wear anything like this to play, but Sheng Yan had thought of it, there were no cameras here, and the people painting here were probably not that skilled either, wearing anything was fine, it was convenient.

"Miss, do you think the remaining four bags of goods were burnt or robbed?"

After all, those four bags of stuff are not pure and good, but they did a good thing and the boat was burnt down, so even if they say that these contraband items were leaked out from the Prince Li, no one would believe them. "

Lan Qin nodded her head, feeling that Sheng Yan's thoughts were very comprehensive. Sometimes, they would be the same as Xuanyuan Li, but according to the progress, the Xuanyuan Li should be ahead of them, and they should not be too far from Hangzhou. Their current attire was extremely inconspicuous, and would probably not be noticed by the Xuanyuan Li's convoy.

When we get to the Hangzhou, let's buy some fresh tea leaves and some snacks. Then we can go back for a stroll.

"Miss, right now, everything is like this, I walked from the south to the north, I am very familiar with the environment, the people here have already protested against the tax several times, although there are officials coming out to settle the problem, but there are still signs of trouble, and for the people in the mountain, if you are not self-sufficient, you will not even be able to eat."

"Why?" Sheng Yan could not understand, even if the people in the mountain were poor, they could not say that they could not even afford to eat.

"Of course it's bandits. Officials say we're killing bandits, but in reality, we're allying with the bandits. It's like cheating the common people." "Is that true?" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no ?"

In the modern world, the economy was constantly being revitalized, but in the ancient world, everything had its own order and it was very difficult to change it. If he wanted to change it, he had to start from the basics.

Sheng Yan understood that all of these things existed over a long time, but it still depended on the imperial government. However, to the south, it was still a remote and remote place, and it would not be easy to change everything.

However, from the deepest point of view, the Xuanyuan Dynasty would probably need another capable emperor, but he rejected the idea of brutality and weakness.
