Kong Shangshu's expression changed slightly.

The people from Zhuquetang checked Guan Shangshu for a few days. Guan Shangshu was an official for many years and had been sophisticated that he could not find enough negotiations. It was not until this morning that he finally found clues about the salt sensation.

Salt invoice is a certificate of salt transportation and sales license issued by the court to the salt merchant. If the merchant sells salt legally, he must first purchase salt invoice from the government. Each "invoice" number is divided into two volumes in front and back, and then divided into two parts from the middle after stamping. The one that is then rolled to the merchant is called "invoice paper", and the stub in the first volume is called "invoice root". The merchant uses salt to lead the salt field to support salt, and then sells salt in the designated salt sales area.

Salt turbulence is a special currency. The Ministry of Revenue prints it and sells it to salt merchants across the country to supplement the treasury, and some even over-issues it and make a big profit.

Lu Xinyan said: "Sir Shangshu, there are countless salt merchants across the country. When the Ministry of Revenue is counting, it is inevitable that there will be errors and more prints. The salt quotation I bought for 50,000 taels can be slowly fulfilled after five or ten years. As long as the Minister Shangshu agrees to my conditions, the 50,000 taels of salt quotation will be presented with both hands."

Kong Shangshu has always been so ignorant that he was making money by using the method of super-salt salt. Unexpectedly, he was now pointed out by a woman in front of him.

Kong Shangshu's expression changed a few times, "You are just the eldest daughter of a uncle's mansion, where can you get 50,000 taels of silver to buy salt invoice?"

"Sir Shangshu, I actually only paid a small part of this silver, most of which came from Tianji Pavilion. Tianji Pavilion has been established for decades, so there is still some capital." Lu Xinyan avoided the important points, but in fact, all of these 50,000 taels of sons came from her, but she would not tell Kong Shangshu so stupidly that she was a moving gold mine.

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has strictly investigated all kinds of corruption cases and was punished severely once discovered! As the Minister of Revenue, one of the ministers whom the emperor relied on the most trustworthy ministers, the matter of Yan Yin has always been supervised by me, Kong Zhiren. If I, Kong Zhiren, were accused of corruption, the emperor would not only investigate it strictly, but also feel very sad. Once the evidence is conclusive, the Kong family will fall, and the fourth prince will always lose the opportunity to compete for the position of crown prince! Princess, you have indeed seized a good opportunity!"

Confucius said: "But officials dare to say that they are honest, and they can count them with five fingers! Why are thousands of officials in the court found out? Not only because they have done well, but also because they have corruption. Even if you know that he is greedy, you will never catch his fatal handle! So Princess, I don't agree with your conditions! If you want to expose it, even if you cut off one arm, I will seek justice for my grandson! Tian Bin dies, Miss Lu Er must be buried with my son! And I will not let anyone go of those people behind it related to this!"

Lu Xin's face changed slightly. He thought he could convince Shangshu Kong, but he would rather take risks than seek justice for Kong Tingyu!

It seems that Kong Tingyu's position in Kong Shangshu's mind is more important than what she does!

"Princess, please come back!"

"Sir Shangshu..."

Lu Xinyan was still trying to persuade him, and a clear voice sounded behind him, "Shangshu is meticulous in his behavior, Xiao admires it! Princess, since the Lord Shangshu said that, whether it is salt, tea, alum or money, I believe that the Lord Shangshu has made a complete solution. Even if you report it, at most, it will hurt the Lord Shangshu and make the emperor angry, but it will definitely not touch the Lord Shangshu's roots."

A crescent-colored figure walked slowly, the ground was slightly muddy because it was raining, but his clothes were spotless and came like an immortal on the rain.

Kong Shangshu spoke up, "Class Xiao understands it's best, but please take the princess back. My Kong family still has something to do."

"I'm here today, I'm giving it a gift to Shangshu Kong." Xiao Yichen took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Shangshu Kong.

Kong Shangshu took it and saw that the drooping wrinkles on his face kept shaking and his whole body was stiff, "What do you want?"

Xiao Yichen said: "The princess means what I mean."

"Okay, okay, haha!" Kong Shangshu laughed in anger, "As you wish, take the person away immediately and get out of my Kong family cemetery!"

"Mr. Xie Shangshu! Fifty thousand taels of salt are presented as scheduled!"

After Xiao Yichen bowed to thank him, he took Lu Xinyan's hand and walked out.

Qi Fei used his sharp sword to cut off the iron chain on Tian Bin's body, quickly pointed the acupoint to stop his wound, and rushed out with his back.

"What did you give to Shangshu Kong just now?" Lu Xinyan said curiously.

She tried her best to talk to Shangshu Kong was unmoved and used salt to force him. Shangshu Kong would rather suffer both defeat than compromise, but Xiao Yichen just handed over a few pieces of paper, which made the stubborn Shangshu bow his head.

Xiao Yichen said: "Kong Shangshu insisted on avenging Kong Tingyu, not only because Kong Tingyu is the future hope of the Kong family, but also because if you let it go, it will disappoint the people who follow the Kong family. So he would rather lose both sides than let anyone out of this case! It is right for you to seize the handle of Kong Shangshu, but the evidence is not as good as Kong Tingyu and the Kong family's prestige, and what I give is something more important than Kong Shangshu himself and the Kong family's prestige!"

Lu Xinyan suddenly realized, "Are you talking about Kong Xinwen?"

Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "That's right! Kong Tingyu is gone. Even if something happens to Kong Shangshu, the Kong family will have Kong Xinwen. He is the next Minister of Revenue. When Kong Shangshu is in office, he will take up the position. As long as Kong Xinwen is present, the Kong family will not fall, and the Fourth Prince's faction will not fall! Kong Xinwen climbed to his current position under the escort of Shangshu Kong, and was far less thorough than Kong Shangshu Kong's, so it is much easier to catch his handle than to catch Kong Shangshu! Even if that handle is not fatal enough, Kong Shangshu dare not bet. Kong Tingyu is gone, Kong Xinwen is more important to the Kong family. Once defeated, the Kong family will be divided for two generations. With the age of Kong Shangshu, he will not have the energy to cultivate a suitable heir! He has no choice but to compromise!"

"Are you busy with this matter these two days?" No wonder you haven't been pestering her in a silly way these two days.

"Are you complaining that I didn't accompany you?" Xiao Yichen chuckled.

Lu Xinyan glanced at him, "You're thinking too much."

"Wait a minute, don't move."

"What are you doing?"

The frosted touch on his face flashed by, "There is rain, I'll help you wipe it." Someone was raving.

Lu Xinyan touched her face, tender and smooth, but there was no wetness at all. Maybe there was something when she came before, but she stood there for a long time and the wind had dried up. And the rain had stopped at this time. Where did the rain come from blowing on her face? It was obvious that she took the opportunity to touch her!

Forget it, for the sake of his efforts to deal with the Secretary of Confucius, I will not be bothered with him.

"Class Xiao, such a good opportunity is not used to defeat the Kong family and let the third prince lose a strong competitor. Would you feel a pity?"

Xiao Yichen recalled the slippery touch under his fingers and said absent-mindedly: "The emperor is in his prime. If there is no special situation, delegating power will be at least ten years later. It is not a good thing to show ambition at this time! Let's not talk about the third prince's lack of ambition. Even if there is, the Kong family will not benefit from it."

"You are right. There are Taishi Ge, led by all officials, and the Long family, who are in a trend of returning, and there are secretly people behind the scenes. If the third prince does not fight or rob, the big fat piece of the Ministry of Revenue will only be taken away. If one day the third prince suddenly becomes determined to compete, then the strength of the competition will be lost!" Lu Xinyan said: "The person behind the scenes is completely sure, right?"

"According to the news you provided that day, as well as those who had contact with her by my sister-in-law Zhong Han, and those who had contact with her father and daughter, after cross-screening and investigation, 99% of them were confirmed!"

"Very good!" Lu Xinyan's lips raised, and evil spirit flashed between her eyebrows, "War starts!"

——

As soon as Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen left, Kong Xinwen immediately walked to Kong Shangshu and complained dissatisfiedly, "Dad, how could you let the murderer who killed Tingyu go?"

"Shut up!" Kong Shangshu's anger that was unsuccessful just now went all towards Kong Xinwen, "You did a good thing!"

He threw the paper in his hand hard on Kong Xinwen's head. Kong Xinwen picked it up and looked at it unconvincedly, and was depressed.

"If you don't have this ability, you still want to do it alone with me on your back?" Kong Shangshu was angry, "I, Kong Zhiren, have never bowed to anyone in my life. Now, I, Lao Lao, have to bow to others for you! You will go back to me immediately and explain all the stupid things you did in private. If you dare to hide it, I will peel you off!"

"Yes, dad." Kong Xinwen hung his head.

He is thirty-five years old and has been under Kong Zhiren for many years, and he is inevitably rebellious. However, on the surface, he does not dare, so he will do things that Kong Zhiren does not let him do, but is profitable, such as buying and selling official positions.

——

When Xiao Yichen came, he brought Doctor Qin and Qi Fei brought Tian Bin over. After Doctor Qin took his pulse for him, he immediately started emergency treatment in the carriage.

Tian Bin's injuries were so severe that even Dr. Qin couldn't help but exhale after seeing them, let alone Qing Tong, who was acting as an assistant.

"That shitty master Long, he's too cruel! I'll curse him to lose his son and grandson!"

Tian Bin is Uncle Tian’s nephew. Qingtong has met him several times. He is very happy with this honest and upright boy and has also discussed with him several times.

Although Long Tianxing knew that Tian Bin did not intend to hurt others, he ignored Tian Bin's confession and used the punishment to reliably try to make Lu Xinyan related to this matter.

Qingtong looked at the wound on Tian Bin's body and was so angry that she wanted to lift her sword to kill Long Tianxing.

Tian Bin was too seriously injured and should not move. Xiao Yichen took him back to the prince's mansion and sent Lu Xinyan back to Ankangbo's mansion.

When Lu Xinyan went to Kongjia Cemetery in the morning, she took Qingtong with her. It was drizzling outside. Xiao Yichen couldn't help but drive Qingtong outside the carriage with shame, so the three of them had to sit in the carriage.

In this way, it would be difficult for Xiao Yichen to do other small moves he wanted to do except holding his hands and in front of outsiders.

He looked at Lu Xinyan with resentment.

Lu Xinyan thought about Tian Bin's injuries and the next battle, but she failed to receive his eyes. Instead, Qingtong saw it and shrank himself to the side of the carriage to minimize his presence.

As soon as he arrived outside Ankangbo Mansion, Qingtong immediately jumped out of the carriage, "Miss, I'll go find Xingluo and tell her how many days to take care of Tian Bin."

There are no maids in the prince's mansion, and men always think about some things. Lu Xinyan and Qingtong discussed how many days to let Xingluo go.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Lu Xinyan said casually, and was about to get up, but someone grabbed his hand.

When I looked back, someone stared at her with a bright look, obviously not having any good intentions.

Lu Xinyan stared at him vigilantly, "Warning you, don't have bad thoughts!"

Xiao Yichen was quite disappointed and thought that he would not think about it next time, but said, "I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

The two made an appointment to meet Yu Zhan and others tomorrow, and Xiao Yichen's powerful generals in the army.

"You are in poor health, don't come, I'll go by myself."

Someone asked with his eyes lit up, "I feel sorry for my poor health. Should I follow me?"

"A good person doesn't live long, and the disaster will last for thousands of years, and you will never die!" Lu Xinyan smiled and jumped out of the carriage.

"Thank you for being so confident in me!" Someone gritted his teeth.

Lu Xinyan took two steps forward and suddenly turned around and said, "If you dare to die, I will find another thick thigh to hold it!"

After saying that, he made a face at him, lifted the corner of his skirt and ran towards the mansion.

Xiao Yichen stared at her back fiercely, saying that you were running fast! Otherwise, you would have to catch you in the carriage and kiss you until you change your words! I will not give you this opportunity if I look for thick thighs!

——

The next morning, Xiao Yichen arrived as promised.

While waiting in the main hall, I suddenly heard the voice of Lu Xinyan Qingyang and laughed: "Class Xiao, close your eyes."

Want to surprise him or scare him?

Xiao Yichen closed his eyes while thinking.

"Okay, you can open your eyes."

Xiao Yichen was disappointed.

When I asked him to close his eyes in the past, I was at least close to him, but now I am very far apart.

He opened his eyes.

A crescent-colored down jacket was presented in front of him, with exquisite sky blue patterns on the edges and cuffs on the sleeves, which was simple and elegant, which was his favorite style.

Lu Xinyan held her hands and looked at him with a smile, "The down jacket I promised to give you last time was cooled down today. Come on, try to wear it to see if it fits?"

Xiao Yichen opened his hands without saying anything, Lu Xinyan had already tacitly helped him with the help of his.

As soon as she got on her down jacket, Xiao Yichen immediately felt wrapped in a ball of warmth.
