0248: Capture Monsters.
"Hula.....
A brown owl flapped its wings and flew into the garden, and landed slowly on the windowsill of Qiao Ji's room.
He beckoned, and the owl took off again and landed on Qiao Ji's arm.
Qiao Ji took out the letters tied to the owl's feet, unfolded them, and started browsing.
His bushy eyebrows raised slightly, and he said in surprise, "I just asked Dinah to occupy a territory, but I didn't expect to run into nobles smuggling."
Qiao Ji frowned slightly, got up and left the room.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji came to the living room and saw Lian Xin studying the new drug prescription he gave her.
"Ahem........."
Qiao Ji coughed a few times, saw the fox girl raised her head, and said, "Lian Xin, do you know the second-class Marquis of Poxiu?"
Lian Xin put down Fang Zi in her hand, blinked her charming orange eyes, stretched her waist and said, "I seem to have some impressions, what's wrong, Master?"
She had dinner at Baihua Manor tonight, but she didn't leave directly after eating, and stayed in Qiao Ji's wooden house to read the prescription for the drug.
"Tell me." Qiao Ji pulled the stool and sat down.
Lian Xin saw the paper in the young man's hand, and thought of the actions of the Holy League tonight, and vaguely guessed that 960 should be sent from the port.
She put away her lazy expression and said seriously, "My lord, although the family of the second-class Marquis of Poxiu is a powerful aristocrat who has been in business for a hundred years, they have always kept a low profile."
"Marquis of real power? I didn't expect his black gloves to be smuggled." Qiao Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Lian Xin was stunned for a moment, recalling her actions tonight, and guessed, "My lord, did the members of the Holy League encounter Marquis Poxiu's black gloves?"
"Well, when the Holy League is occupying territory tonight, Marquis Poxiu's black gloves are smuggling salt." Qiao Ji blinked his deep heterochromatic pupils.
"This is not a trivial matter. Salt is a commodity exclusively owned by the empire, and nobles are not allowed to sell it to rich merchants."
Lian Xin frowned slightly, scratched her forehead with her fingers, and muttered, "There is a dedicated department responsible for salt in the empire, and it is also one of the important income of the empire."
"Salt is also a commodity operated by the empire....."
Qiao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "No wonder Marquis Poxiu is so low-key. Only when he is low-key, will everyone not pay attention to them."
After all, smuggling is not a trivial matter, and it is a commodity smuggled exclusively by the empire, so Marquis Poxiu had to keep a low profile.
"It's obviously a nobleman who has been in business for a hundred years, but there is no splash in his usual actions."
Lian Xin pouted slightly, showing a meaningful expression, and said softly, "How dare you smuggle salt behind your back.
"Sure enough, the imperial port is very deep. I just intervened a little bit, but I didn't expect to break through the salt smuggling of others."
Qiao Ji tapped the table lightly with her index finger, ready to think about what to do next.
"My lord, if it's the black gloves of Marquis Poxiu, Dinah might be in danger." Lian Xin frowned worriedly.
"Yes." Qiao Ji's face became serious.
"The Marquis of Poxiu's family is not bad in strength and background, and the other party will definitely not suffer from this matter tonight.
Lian Xin's orange eyes were full of worry, "I'm afraid...they will take Dinah back."
Hu Erniang knew clearly that judging from the current strength of the Holy League, she was definitely not the opponent of Poxiu's second-class Marquis.
"Let me think about it." Qiao Ji also knew the seriousness of this matter.
The incident happened suddenly, and the young man had no time to plan a better solution. Tomorrow, he would transport pig iron into the city.
What needs to be done now is to muddy the water and divert everyone's attention in time.
..." Lian Xin knew that this matter was not a trivial matter, so she waited quietly and stopped talking.
Minutes passed and the air was eerily quiet.
Qiao Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Lian Xin, send a message to Eve, asking her to instruct the troubadour to spread the news about Marquis Poxiu's smuggling of salt (badg)."
"what!"
Lian Xin was just stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and said pleasantly, "I understand, as long as the troubadour spreads the news, everyone's attention will be focused on Marquis Poxiu.
"That's right, when the time comes, Marquis Poxiu won't dare to act rashly, so he can only hold back this embarrassment temporarily." Qiao Ji nodded.
Dinah was safe at this time, after all, if something happened, everyone would immediately think of Marquis Poxiu.
It was equivalent to Marquis Poxiu admitting in disguise, they would naturally not do such a stupid thing.
"Okay, I'll let the messenger bring the message later." Lian Xin nodded heavily.
"However... this is a temporary solution. When the public opinion turmoil passes, it's time for a head-on confrontation." Qiao Ji said in a deep voice.
"Then Dinah will be under a lot of pressure." Lian Xin was a little worried about Wolf Er Niang.
"If...if there is a treasure, maybe the situation will be different." Qiao Ji muttered, rubbing his chin with one hand.
He hasn't seen what the treasure looks like until now, and sometimes he wonders what the treasure Ruoqing's parents are making.
"Treasure Phantasms are hard to come by."
Lian Xin sighed helplessly, stood up and said, "My lord, I'll go back first and send someone a message."
"Well, be careful on the road." Qiao Ji nodded, and grabbed the fluffy fox tail of the fox ear girl.
"Oh~" Lian Xin's body trembled subconsciously, and she made a reverie sound.
The fox-eared lady's pretty face turned red in an instant, and the roots of her ears were so red that they were hot, and she felt her body go limp all of a sudden.
She turned her head and looked at Qiao Ji resentfully, the expression in her eyes seemed to say: You don't mean what you say.
"Let's go." Qiao Ji smiled brightly.
"Hmph." Lian Xin left with her charming and arrogant steps.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji looked at the back of Hu Erniang leaving, and the expression on his face became serious again, what happened this time was not a trivial matter.
"The development of the Holy League is still too slow, and it is still a bit worse than the black gloves of the old nobles."
Qiao Ji shook his head thinking of this, and murmured, "If the members of the Holy League are equipped with powerful weapons, maybe there is still a chance.
He thought of the pig iron of the Jones family, and thought about waiting for the pig iron to be delivered, and giving priority to making weapons for the members of the Holy League.
"It seems that the monster that the Haiba family found will be put on the agenda to capture it." Qiao Ji murmured.
