Chapter 30 Lin Cheng
At this moment, Nie Renxi opened the curtain and jumped into the carriage, and asked Yan Yao behind him, "Can the girl drive?"

Yan Yao replied expressionlessly: "I am originally a coachman." There was an extreme speechlessness towards Nie Renxi in these words.

Yin Luo smiled when he heard this, "It doesn't matter. When you get tired, Mr. Nie will naturally take over for you. Before we came to Beijing, didn't we already hear that Mr. Nie is a compassionate person?"

Yan Yao turned around, drove the carriage towards the back door outside Tingxian Tower, and replied, "That's what the girl said."

Nie Renxi looked at Yin Luo in shock, not knowing why she suddenly said this. In his memory, he had no grudge against her.

Seeing this scene, Chi Ye smiled with interest, as if he was watching a show.

After exiting the capital city checkpoint, Yan Juan waved his short whip in his hand, and the carriage drove smoothly and quickly onto the official road leading to Lincheng.

There are nine famous cities in the world, including Yacheng and Jiangcheng in Northern Liao, Yuncheng, Chuncheng, Yuxi, Lingcheng in Southern Xia, and Shangjing and Lincheng in Daliang, as well as Daliang and Nanxia. Haicheng.The nine famous cities have different customs, and among them three cities are the most prosperous, and Lin City is one of them.

Lincheng stands in the center of Daliang, and is connected by commercial traffic from all directions in Daliang. Businessmen who seek the shortest route to pledge goods must pass through Lincheng. In addition, Lincheng has been established for a hundred years, which is almost the same year as the founding of Daliang. Therefore, it is also known as "the first city of Daliang".Just by listening to the name, you can tell that if the trees in Lin City are not lush, then the family name in charge of this city is Lin.

Lin Cheng belongs to the latter.The person who founded Lin City was originally a far-sighted merchant surnamed Lin from Shangjing. After the founding of the Liang Dynasty, his family moved to Lin City and took advantage of the geographical advantages here to establish many business routes. Businessmen who passed by were bound to give Lin Cheng's "Shangdao Jin" has the meaning of occupying the city and becoming the king. However, the founding generations of Daliang have been plagued by internal and external troubles. The royal family was eager to deal with political struggles, so they turned a blind eye to Lin Cheng's actions. A hundred years passed without incident.

Rumor has it that when the late emperor was on the throne, he ordered the business roads to be closed down and converted into official roads, and all commercial firms run by officials were exempted from the "Shangdao gold".Lin Cheng was naturally very reluctant, thinking that the royal family was cutting off their financial resources, so he closed the city for three days to resist the royal family.

During those three days, the direct commercial traffic in the entire Daliang was blocked, and the merchants and escorts had to take long detours, which caused a lot of complaints for a while.

The royal family then sent someone to Lincheng to negotiate in person. Finally, Lincheng agreed to give away the business road, but the condition was that the royal family could no longer interfere with Lincheng's affairs, and the Ming family's royal family could not enter Lincheng. Lincheng would hand over the business every year. The gold and silver in the treasury were also halved...

But Lin City is famous for refining incense. It has been refining palace incense for the royal family for hundreds of years. After this agreement was finalized, the royal family could no longer openly send spices to Lin City as before. The royal family first found several incense refiners. family, but in the end they found that their refining products were not as good as Lin Cheng's. Therefore, in the following decades, the royal family would recruit escorts from Jianghu forces, who would send the raw materials for incense refining to Lin City... and Lin Cheng since then After the agreement was made, the Yuxiang Mansion, which was originally used to refine incense for the royal family, was not demolished. Maybe he turned a blind eye to this. After all, among all the businessmen in the world, who would refuse a batch of big, profitable deals?
After listening to Yu Ruyi's calm analysis, Yu Feng took a sip of tea and asked: "Then why is the Sixth Young Master still worried that the leader will not be able to enter Lincheng?"

Yu Ruyi exhaled helplessly, "Because she was released from seclusion two years ago."

"She? Who? Who is she?" Yu Feng continued to ask.

Yu Ruyi's eyes focused on the steaming mist of hot tea, and then gradually dispersed. He searched for information about the person speaking in his memory: "The fourth master of Daliang, Lin Shanxia. The wife of Lin Hong, the previous generation lord of Lin City, was them back then. The couple made an agreement with the late emperor, but Lin Hong suddenly died of a serious illness not long after the agreement was made. Lin Shanxia thought that the royal family had used some means, so she swore that she was incompatible with the Ming family. He was considered powerful in his generation, but after another 20 years of seclusion, he immediately rose to the top of the world after leaving seclusion, becoming the fourth! Just now I said that although Lincheng Yuxiang Mansion is still refining incense for the royal family, I feel that maybe It was without her knowing..." Yu Ruyi's voice became smaller and smaller.

Yu Feng suddenly stood up, frowning, "Then you still let the leader go!"

Yu Ruyi spread her hands, "She is a member of the Yin family, and I can't control it. She is still loyal to the royal family in her heart. If Emperor Chongwen asked me to come to the palace to negotiate terms, I would make him give up the palace to me before accepting this offer. Live. But what about her? She just sent it away without thinking about what she wanted... Feelings are something that flows in the blood and cannot be changed. "

What Yu Feng cared about was strange, "Sixth Young Master, do you want to be the emperor?"

Yu Ruyi was confused, "When did I say that? I just want the palace."

"If you don't want to be the emperor, why do you want the palace?" Yu Ruyi shrugged, crossed her arms and looked at Yu Feng with raised eyebrows, "I just think it's grand to live in the palace." Soon he got back to the topic, "Besides, I also know that she Fan agreed to go with Chi Linjing and the young master of the Nie family to escort, and also wanted to test the strength of the regent of Southern Xia. He came to Daliang for the unicorn wood, but it stands to reason, "Yu Ruyi paused. Frowning slightly, "He shouldn't want to interfere in Daliang's internal affairs."

Yu Feng sat down again, "How do you say this?"

Yu Ruyi touched his chin, "This involves a secret, and not many people know about it." He did not ignore Yu Feng's increasingly curious eyes. Yu Ruyi coughed lightly, "In short, you know that he has a close relationship with the Daliang royal family. ”

Yu Feng's eyes suddenly darkened, "Oh. But no matter what, he is also the regent of Southern Xia."

Yu Ruyi pondered for a moment, "I once heard from my master that Chi Linjing, the regent of Southern Xia, was a person who valued character very much. I also met him that day, and he really didn't look like the kind of person who loves to fight for power."

Yu Feng's topic jumped again, "Will the leader and Yan Juan be okay?"

Yu Ruyi shook her head, "I don't know. We have been in Jiangnan for many years, and we have met all the famous people. At that time, there were many people who came to fight with Yin Luo. Except for her who was too tired and refused to fight, I haven't seen him yet. She has lost before. When the second brother was not injured, Yin Luo could barely beat him even though he learned Huang Chan's martial arts..."

Yu Feng frowned, "It's true that the second young master is the number one in Jiangnan, but Lin Shanxia is the fourth in Daliang. How can he be better than the second young master?"

Yu Ruyi nodded, "Of course, she can beat the second young master to the ground."

"How do you grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Sixth Young Master, please think of a solution quickly..."

"Why haven't I seen you so worried about Yin Luo before?"

Yu Feng's voice increased, "Am I worried about her? I'm worried about my Yan Yao! Yan Yao is so down-to-earth, what if she forces herself on her?"

Yu Ruyi almost spat out a sip of tea, but he swallowed and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much." After he recovered, his eyes deepened a little, "The regent of Nanxia won't wait until they are all dead. He took action only after he got it."

"Why do you trust him so much?"

Yu Ruyi pretended to be serious and took out the Yuhe scroll in his sleeve, waved it in front of Yu Feng and then took it back. He smiled mysteriously at Yu Feng, and then slowly answered: "Intuition."
