Just as Xie Changshi expected, His Highness Wen Wang’s trip to Xinliang was indeed pushed forward again and again.

While waiting for Shopkeeper Mu and the others, Qi Chenglang finally rushed back without stopping. After presenting the secret letter to Gu Yuzhi, he raised his head and drank three bowls of tea, and then he felt that he was alive.

He casually wiped his mouth and threw the bowl to the servant: "Your Highness, the Emperor has captured Zhang Si, a doctor from the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Punishment is trying to find out from his mouth the clues about Li Ji Trading Company buying salt. "

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and thought for a while, and then he realized that the person named Zhang Si should have been responsible for the purchase of salt by Liji Trading Company.

The Emperor's brother arrested him, which shows that this person must be a big bad guy!
Gu Yuzhi snorted hard, and a cold wind mixed with a little strange smell suddenly blew in. Gu Yuzhi only felt his nose was a little itchy, and he sneezed several times.

He quickly wrapped his white fox cloak tightly, buried his whole little face in it, and said in a loud voice: "Xie Changshi, close the door quickly."

It's over, it's over, if Judge Qin knows that he sneezes, he will definitely force him to drink medicine!
Even though His Highness Wen Wang is older and wiser, he is still extremely afraid of Xie Changshi's black concoction.

Xie Changshi was about to speak when the tip of his nose suddenly became slightly loose. He glanced at the innocent-looking guard Qi beside him. He sighed deeply, stood aside cautiously, and whispered in a low voice: "Your Highness, the sun is shining brightly in the courtyard. It just so happens that The plum blossoms are also in bloom, it’s a good time to enjoy them, why don’t we go enjoy them.”

The plum blossoms in the yard were planted by Grandma Xu after the snow melted this year. They are just beside the small garden in the backyard. There are only four of them.

Since the beginning of winter in Mobei this year, those plum blossom trees have also become bare. Gu Yuzhi thought that Nanny Xu had bought the wrong variety, but unexpectedly the bare branches were covered with buds a few days ago.

Gu Yuzhi was looking forward to the blooming of the plum blossoms. When he heard what Xie Changshi said, his eyes lit up. He jumped off his chair and walked out the door without worrying about whether he was infected with cold due to sneezing and needed to take medicine.

After leaving the meeting hall, he remembered: "Guard Qi, go on, has Zhang Si been recruited?"

Guard Qi looked at Xie Changshi with some resentment. The meaning was obvious, why did you interrupt me? Don't you know I'm tired?I want to rest, not enjoy plum blossoms!
Xie Changshi sighed, fanned his nose with his hand, and then made a vomiting motion.

Guard Qi's eyes were horrified. Under Xie Changshi's calm gaze, he slowed down his pace and fell several steps behind His Highness, and then he leisurely followed.

It’s so heartbreaking!

He traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, traveled day and night, and almost broke his leg on a sweaty horse to bring back the latest news. Unexpectedly, Xie Changshi was more concerned about him not taking a shower!

Talking about admiring flowers outside, it was clearly because he disliked the clothes he didn't have time to change out of.

Qi Chenglang's eyes were full of condemnation, but when he was under the plum tree, he couldn't help but think of the way His Highness sneezed just now, and stood downwind like an appointment: "When I came back, I hadn't heard the news about Zhang Si's recruitment, but the Ministry of Punishment A lot of silver was collected from Zhang Si's house. This matter caused quite a sensation in the capital, and the people were discussing it."

If it can arouse discussion among the people, it means that the amount of money collected by the Zhang Si family is huge, otherwise it would not cause a sensation.

This is the second time in the year since the emperor ascended the throne that people from the Ministry of Punishment have searched his home.

Qi Chenglang scratched his head and chuckled: "When I met with Mr. Su, I asked him about this..."

He deliberately lowered his voice: "Shilang Su said that the Minister of Hubu has been walking with wind in the past two days. He said that the Zhang Si family's money made up for a lot of the deficit of the Hubu." This year, the previous emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne. The empress-establishment ceremonies were held one after another, which indeed cost the Ministry of Household Affairs a lot of money.

Gao Sachs Liang had previously submitted a memorial, hoping to use salt to replenish the national treasury, but according to reliable sources, this memorial was suppressed by the emperor.

Seeing the smile in His Highness's eyes, Gu Yuzhi then continued: "Your Highness, I have another piece of good news. Minister Su has already given me a clear reply, saying that as long as all the procedures of the Mobei Commercial Gang are complied with, Mobei Salt It will not fall into the hands of other trading houses."

"Shilang Su?"

Gu Yuzhi was hopping with his feet to reach for a blooming plum blossom, because Teacher Shu said that if this plum blossom was put in a bottle and placed on the table, it would make the whole room look lively.

He didn't know what it meant to make a room lively, but he was studying painting with Xie Changshi recently. He wanted to paint this plum blossom and send it to his mother and concubine together with the dried flowers.

He wanted his mother and concubine to know what he was like in Mobei, and also wanted his mother and concubine to know more about Mobei, so that when he came of age and took her over, she would not be too unfamiliar with Mobei.

When Gu Yuzhi heard this, he looked at Qi Chenglang: "Guard Qi, have you seen Shilang Su? Is he in charge of Yan Yin's affairs?"

He rolled his big eyes and clapped his hands: "Okay now, we don't have to worry about Li Ji Trading Company."

The recent news from the palace guards is that Li Yanping has finished checking the accounts and is asking various shops to collect money. The banks in Changzhou have been unable to exchange money recently.

When he went to the capital with the money, haha, it turned out that he was not qualified to buy salt. He would be so angry that he would vomit blood again!
Shopkeeper Wen also looked happy at this moment and said: "Your Highness, I estimate that after the Yan Yin incident is over, Li Ji Trading Company will have little chance to cause trouble for the Wen family."

Gu Yuzhi's eyes widened: "Why?"

Wasn't it just because Li Ji Trading Company didn't want to vent all its hatred on Wen's Trading Company that the business gang was established before?

Why did Li Ji Trading Company suddenly have no chance to cause trouble to them?
Wen Xiuzhu shook his fan and narrowed his eyes with laughter: "Because I don't know, Li Ji Trading Company collapsed backstage in the capital."

If it hadn't been for the secret letter written by the young prince to the emperor, which attracted the emperor's attention, Zhang Si, the doctor of the household department, would not have been exposed.

Zhang Si was responsible for the specific matters of Yanyin in the past. Even if the Minister of Household Affairs saw Wen's Trading Company and guessed something, he would only ask Zhang Si to give him some shares, instead of directly cutting off the future of Liji Trading Company like now. road!
Wen Xiuzhu had previously strongly disapproved of His Highness's tendency to tell the Emperor everything. As a former imperial merchant, Wen Xiuzhu felt particularly strongly about the principle of accompanying the emperor like accompanying a tiger.

Because of the system, his initial purpose was to make His Highness rich, complete his mission, and successfully enter the next mission.

But after getting along for such a long time, Wen Xiuzhu admitted that his heart was warmed by His Highness. His concern for His Highness stemmed from his heart, so his goal became to let His Highness sneak into a wealthy party.

Too much money will arouse the jealousy of others, even the prince cannot avoid it!
