"Lord Xiangguo, as long as Lord Xiangguo can save me this time, I am willing to pay whatever the price, my lord. Zhao Jin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ai Qian like pounding garlic: "From now on, I will do whatever Lord Xiangguo says, if you let me go east, I will never go west, you let me drive the dog, I will never catch chickens, please save me, Lord Xiangguo."

Looking at Zhao Jin, who had already been frightened, Ai Qian's eyebrows sank: "Are you really willing to pay any price?"

Zhao Jin nodded violently when he heard this: "Yes, yes, as long as I can pass this level, I am willing to do anything."

Ai Qian sighed, made a look of embarrassment, and after a while, he looked at Zhao Jin and said: "Let me tell you the truth, this time Your Majesty has already made up his mind to rectify, this matter cannot be avoided, but you can rest assured, I will unite some ministers in the court, and then go to a few princes to intercede for you, at least to ensure that you do not die."

Zhao Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously: "Thank you Lord Xiangguo, thank you Lord Xiangguo, the grace of recreation will never be forgotten." "

Hey, hey, get up, I'm not done yet. Ai Qian waved his hand impatiently, and then said softly: "Although I can save you, but you also know that those princes are not something I can easily invite, so the cost is ......

" Zhao Jin naturally knew what Ai Qian meant, but now it was important to save his life, so he hung his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this, Lord Xiangguo, you can just open your mouth as much as you want."

Ai Qian held out five fingers and clenched them.

"Five hundred thousand taels?" Ai

Qian shook his head.

"Five million taels?" Ai

Qian still shook his head.

Zhao Jin swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth and said, "Five...... Fifty million taels?"

Ai Qian still shook his head: "It's all your assets."

"What!" Zhao Jin was taken aback: "All the assets?" "

That's right, this time you will definitely have to bear His Majesty's heavenly might, after all, you are the first to burst out, and you must be the first to bear the brunt."

"But...... But then I have nothing. "

Hmph, stupid, what's the use of leaving more assets if you die?" Seeing that Zhao Jin was still a little hesitant, Ai Qian whispered in his ear: " Don't worry, as long as you can invite those princes, plus me and some ministers, Your Majesty will give three points of thin noodles no matter what, and then you people will say that you are ghosts and resell the grain purchased from the grain market, at most it is a crime of speculation and price gouging, and then I will intercede with the prince, and this matter will be turned into a big matter and a small matter.

Seeing that Zhao Jin was a little moved, Ai Qian continued: "And we will intercede with Your Majesty and give you a chance to reform your ways, after all, this time it is very widely implicated, if you really deal with all the ministers, then the court must be paralyzed, we will let Your Majesty demote you to the official position, send you to the local government, wait for three or five years, I will find another opportunity to give you some merits, promote you back, and then we will take revenge."

Hearing the words "revenge and hatred", Zhao Jin immediately came to his senses, his eyes were wide with anger, his eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were gritted and said: "That damn Ning Caichen, not only caused me to end up in such a situation, but also abolished my son's life, I can't wait to drink his blood and sleep on his skin." And that Huang Fu Lie, I want to break his body into ten thousand pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart

!" "That's right!" Ai Qian was also angry, gritted his teeth and said: "The culprit of this matter is Ning Caichen, you don't have to worry, I have already sent someone to find out the bottom of this kid, I believe that there will be results soon, this time I must send this little Wang Ba Calf into the eighteenth layer of hell, so that he will never be reborn."

Then, Ai Qian took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from his arms, and said to Zhao Jin while it was hot: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'm leaving soon, you hurry up and write down your house deed, land deed and the hiding place of all the treasures, I can quickly sell these things into silver and give them to those princes."

Zhao Jin picked up the pen, still a little hesitant in his heart, Ai Qian saw this and hurriedly persuaded: "What are you doing, don't hurry up, if it's late, wait for Huang Fulie and they to seal your assets, then I will also have no skills to return to the sky, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, don't hesitate."

In the end, Zhao Jin gritted his teeth and wrote down the location where he stored his real estate, real estate and some gold and silver treasures, and handed it to Ai Qian.

When Ai Qian left, Zhao Jin in prison still thanked Ai Qian with hope, but unfortunately, he didn't see the greed and viciousness in Ai Qian's eyes behind his back.

After coming out of Zhao Jin, Ai Qian did not leave in a hurry, but turned around and went to the cell where Li Yushan, the head of the household department, was imprisoned.

Li Yushan was curled up in a corner of the cell decadently, unkempt and embarrassed, and like Zhao Jin, he was held in solitary confinement.

When Li Yushan heard movement outside the door, his heart rose to his throat, and he was relieved when he saw that the person who came was Ai Qian.

"Lord Xiangguo, Lord Xiangguo, you are here, save me.

Like Zhao Jin, Li Yushan saw Ai Qian as if he saw a savior, and immediately knelt down and begged for help.

"Get up, get up. Ai Qian came to the door of Li Yushan's prison and looked at the grizzled Li Yushan, Ai Qian asked with concern: "Yushan, are you okay, have they ever tortured you?"

"Thank you Lord Xiangguo for your concern, then Ning Caichen and Huang Fulie didn't have time to pay attention to the lower officials, but they just found a servant and interrogated them roughly.

When Ai Qian heard this, he immediately asked excitedly, "Oh, then you didn't say anything."

Li Yushan hurriedly bowed and said: "Lord Xiangguo, please rest assured, the lower official only said that he did it alone, and he definitely didn't mention half a word about Lord Xiangguo."

Ai Qian touched his beard and breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, I can rest assured that you are doing things." "

Master Xie praised.

"Yushan, don't worry, I've already thought of a way to get you out.

Li Yushan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? Thank you so much Lord Xiangguo, Lord Xiangguo is simply the reborn parent of the lower official."

"Don't worry, although I have a way to save you, the price is still very large.

Then, Ai Qian told Li Yushan what he had said before, but Li Yushan was not Zhao Jin, he thought for a while and didn't speak, but his face gradually turned cold, and he no longer had the previous respect.

"Alright, Yushan, tell me your house deed, title deed, and the hiding place of all your treasures, and I will sell these things into silver as soon as possible and give them to those princes, and I will soon be able to rescue you."

Ai Qian handed over the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone as before, but Li Yushan did not take it, but said calmly: "Lord Xiangguo, the affairs and account books of the Xiaguan's family are all in charge of the dog, so the Xiaguan doesn't know where those things are, but the dog must know that as long as the Xiangguo Lord can keep the dog safe, the dog will naturally thank the adult at that time."

Ai Qian frowned when he heard this, and said in a cold tone: "Yushan, what does this mean, don't you believe the old man?"

Li Yushan stood up with a sneer, patted the dust on his body and said lightly: "Don't dare, although this time it was Zhao Jin who showed his horse's feet to cause the incident, but the grain and herbs are in charge of the household department, Yushan knows that it is impossible to escape death, but the dog is young, talented and good-looking, and it is the third generation of my Li family, I really don't want him to be implicated in this."

Ai Qian also stood up and said expressionlessly: "What do you mean?"

Li Yushan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and said: "Yushan is rotten and dead, and if you die, you will die, don't bother with Lord Xiangguo, however, all the property under the dog is on the dog, I often teach the dog to know how to repay the kindness, if Lord Xiangguo can keep the dog, he will definitely repay the adult, as for the theft of the granary, the fire dragon burned the warehouse, Yushan will bear it, and will never implicate anyone."

"Hehehe, Yushan, Yushan, you deserve to be my most optimistic henchman, you are much smarter than Zhao Jin's waste dim sum, but as long as the two of them have half the IQ of your father and son, they will not fall into such a situation." Since the other party saw through his thoughts, there was no need to hide it, Ai Qian sneered and said: "Don't worry, I will find a way to keep Li Shuwen, but what I should ask for, I can't lose a point." In

front of the window of Li Yushan's aisle, looking up at the bright moonlight outside the window, two lines of tears flowed in his eyes, and he didn't know whether he regretted it or worried about his son.

The case of the theft of the granary in the capital caused a major earthquake, and the people's long-pent-up anger and dissatisfaction all broke out, these days in the face of the fear of lack of food, the oppression of black market dealers and the fear of the enemy's pressure, the people of the capital are worried all day long, and now it seems to have found an outlet, outside the gate of the imperial city, countless ordinary people gathered, and asked the emperor to punish the officials who committed the crime, and the emperor was also furious, he always thought that he was a martial arts officer, and he was the master of a generation of Zhongxing, but he did not expect that under his nose, there was such a bully and rebellious thing, which was simply a slap in the face, so Liu Jian ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, he wants to wash away the shame with the blood of these people!

Huang Fulie is in charge of this matter, Liu Xinghe is behind his back, Liu Xinghe wanted to take this opportunity to uproot Ai Qian, but he is still too young, in less than two days, all the black market merchants in the capital will hide their strength, and disappear without a trace in an instant, and the other party also has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, and directly sell a large number of black market finances at a low price, confusing the public, after Liu Xinghe sorted out the context, the other party has already erased his own traces, which shows how complex and efficient the intertwined relationship between Ai Qian and the party is, which makes Liu Xinghe not only cold behind his back。

In the end, Li Yushan, the head of the household department, thought that he was the culprit and was sentenced to Ling Chi, and Zhao Jin, the secretary of the criminal department, was the main culprit in reselling black grain, and his son's crime was also exposed, and he was punished for several crimes, and the father and son were all escorted to the market to be beheaded for public display, Zhao Jin did not believe it before he died, thinking that Ai Qian would save him, and shouted at the execution ground, while the other accomplices were confiscated and exiled.

It is mentioned here that Li Shuwen, the son of Li Yushan, should be beheaded for the same crime, but under the protection of Ai Qian and several princes, he was exempted from the death penalty on the grounds that he did not know and was the champion of the dynasty, but the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped, and finally Li Shuwen was sentenced to be removed from his fame and exiled with tattoos, but he disappeared after being punished.

This time, Ai Qian can be described as a heavy loss, although he took the opportunity to swallow the assets of many officials, but compared with the black industry he lost, it is a drop in the bucket, especially the two right-hand men, the household department and the criminal department, these are two rich fat shortages, since then, Ai Qian's hatred for Liu Xinghe has completely surpassed that of Huangfu heroes.
