While Gu Yuzhi was running all over the mountains and fields with Huo Qiyuan, Qi Chenglang and his party finally arrived in the capital one day before the salt outbreak.

Shen Yu'an took the alias of a famous young master, and parted ways with Qi Chenglang before entering the city. With the directions given by the prefect Qi, he led a group of shopkeepers to stay at the inn under the name of Concubine Xian's mother-in-law in the capital.

He arranged everyone, and left the city while it was dark, and met Qi Chenglang and others at an inn on the outskirts. The receptionist in the capital was already waiting in Qi Chenglang's room. When he saw him, he nodded slightly: "Guard Shen."

Shen Yu'an raised his eyebrows slightly. Unexpectedly, the visitor was actually Su Shilang. He raised his hands and saluted: "Why is Su Shilang here?"

Su Quanping pulled the corner of his mouth and showed an embarrassed smile.

Qi Chengjun went to the south of the Yangtze River, and now he has finally cleared Huizhou. He has opened up a stronghold in the south of the Yangtze River. He has a heavy burden on him, and it is naturally impossible for the emperor to call him back.

And this inn is quite special. Zhao Xi took the risk to take over the previous few times, but maybe it was because Su Shilang got the seeds from His Highness, or because the good concubine liked Gu Yuzhi very much, so the emperor handed over this important task. Gave it to him.

Su Quanping said that he only wanted to take care of farming and didn't want to take care of these messes at all!
But when he thought of His Highness handing sweet potatoes and potato seeds to him with a smile, he couldn't refuse!

After Shen Yu'an sat down, Su Quanping spoke: "The people from Liji Trading Company arrived two days earlier than you. They already knew that Zhang Si, a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, had his house ransacked. They met with some people secretly in the past two days. Firstly, they wanted to If you want to know what is going on with Zhang Si, the second one is Yan Yin."

The incident of Zhang Si's house being confiscated caused a big fuss in the capital. Gu Yuchen never thought that he could hide it from the King of Chu, but no one expected that Li Yanping, who was concentrating on raising money, didn't know about it.

"The emperor set up an ambush at the door of Zhang's Mansion. Li Yanping went there in the middle of the night wearing a black cloak. When he arrived at the door, he found a seal on the door of Zhang's Mansion. Everyone was dumbfounded."

Su Quanping had always thought that Li Yanping could manage Li Ji Trading Company for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and he was so tough that other trading firms almost bowed to him. He was an extremely smart and ruthless character.

Who knew it was so stupid!

Li Yanping stayed at the gate of Zhang's Mansion for a quarter of an hour. If the emperor's people hadn't been watching, he would have been arrested by the soldiers and horses on the spot.

"Currently, the few people Li Yanping met in secret have been monitored by the emperor's people. We are just waiting for the Yanyin to be over to focus on the investigation."

If Zhang Si doesn't dig out any useful information, they don't believe that others can't dig it out either!

No matter how many nails King Chu has in the capital, they cannot all be under his control. As long as there is a breakthrough, he can definitely tear a big hole.

Su Quanping did not like other things except farming, but it did not mean that he really didn't understand anything. Some metaphorical expressions quickly made Qi Chenglang and others understand the situation in Beijing.

Usually when there are others around him, Qi Chenglang doesn't like to use his brain very much and subconsciously looks at Shen Yu'an.

Shen Yu'an's mind was filled with questions. After a while, he rolled his eyes without any clue. Are you the captain of the guard or am I the captain of the guard? Why don't you give me your position?

Qi Chenglang's eyes were calm and he was completely unaware.

Shen Yu'an was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He turned around and asked about the salt-induced release. Several people discussed in low voices. After an hour, Su Quanping was finally able to escape.

Su Quanping was tired and said goodbye. Qi Chenglang followed closely behind and whispered: "Secretary Su, His Highness has a gift for the Emperor."

Su Quanping paused slightly, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, feeling that he couldn't help but say some curse words: "Why didn't you say it earlier, Guard Qi?"

If he had known earlier, he would not have waited for Guard Shen, and now the palace doors are closed!
Qi Chenglang chuckled and pulled him towards the backyard of the inn without refusal: "Follow me!" Su Quanping staggered and tried to speak several times without success. His mind was full of arrogance, which was unreasonable.

After finally stopping, he just took a breath and was about to scold him when he saw Qi Chenglang open a box on the carriage and thrust a piece of cloth into his hand.

"Guard Qi, you..."

Su Quanping immediately noticed something was wrong. He groped the cloth carefully with his fingers again, then his eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Guard Qi, did these cloths given by His Highness use any new weaving techniques?"

As soon as he touched it, he knew that it was definitely not silk, but it was obviously more delicate and soft than Gebu.

Su Quanping thought that His Highness had found some capable person to weave the cloth so softly.

Even if Su Quanping is not a businessman, he knows that if this textile technique is popularized, it will be highly praised by the people.

However, Qi Chenglang chuckled and shook his head, and took out a thick stack of letters from his arms: "This is a letter from His Highness to the Emperor, Concubine Taixian and the ladies in the harem. Please ask Mr. Su to bring it in later."

Su Quanping frowned, took two steps back holding the cloth, and said with alert eyes: "Guard Qi, do you want to see what time it is? The palace has been locked for a long time. You let me enter the palace now because you want to Did the emperor chop off my head?"

Because of what happened to Zhang Si, the emperor is now paying special attention to the issue of salt quotations from the Ministry of Revenue. It can be said that their Ministry of Revenue is in a moment of high tension. For fear of an accident, Guard Qi actually allowed himself to be interviewed at this juncture. emperor……

Su Quanping stepped forward, put the cloth into the box, and glanced sideways at Guard Qi: "You..."

Qi Chenglang didn't pay attention to his anger. He turned around and handed over a very small box. He raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to open the box.

Su Quanping frowned, and his heart skipped a beat. In such a small box, what did Guard Qi put in it to bribe him?

He is not someone who has never seen the world...

Su Quanping opened the box angrily and saw some very small seeds piled inside.

Qi Chenglang's eyebrows almost flew up, and he spoke with pride: "The cloth Shilang Su touched just now was grown from this kind of seed. The flowers of this thing are as white as clouds, soft and comfortable, so His Highness named it , called cotton.”

Su Quanping murmured: "Cotton..."

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of flowers could be as white as clouds, soft and comfortable.

He is indeed ignorant!
"His Highness discovered this cotton accidentally. It's a very small piece, so the seeds can only be given to Mr. Su. Mr. Su..."

Su Quanping quickly closed the box, carefully put it back into his arms, jumped on the carriage and drove out. Qi Chenglang swallowed these four words without minding it.

"Master Su, what are you doing?"

Su Quanping looked anxious: "I want to enter the palace..."

Qi Chenglang stared blankly at the carriage driving out of the inn, and muttered for a while: "Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"
