I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Zhou Xiaosan was overjoyed.

The one thing that had supported him for so many years was finally settled.

After all, I still maintained my self-esteem as a man. Although I had the help of my own boss, but... the one who rescued the Yang family was myself.

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Zhou Xiaosan bowed and sent a sincere greeting to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin waved his hand.

Zhou Xiaosan withdrew.

The results of this case, without exception, reached Li Tai's ears - as the sufferer, he had the right to know everything about it, and even because of his identity, he could even read the files.

It was precisely because of reading the dossier that it was even more difficult for Li Tai to calm down.

The method of deception is simple and stupid.

But... What's even more stupid is that because of this method, I have fallen into this situation.

Living alone these few days, Li Tai thought about it, and his mind also settled down.

He felt... Maybe he thought too much that day, if his father had such thoughts, he would just take down his official position of offering wine.

At least... prepare yourself for the funeral earlier.

There is still a glimmer of hope in my heart. Although my business has failed, isn't my uncle still there?As long as my uncle's business is going well, there is still a possibility of a comeback.

However, he just woke up and glanced at the magazine - the article on the steam bus came into view.

The glimmer of hope in my heart was completely shattered.

When he saw this article, he had a premonition—his uncle's business was over, and he sent someone out to inquire about it, and the facts were exactly as he expected.

The bullock cart business is indeed over.

Couldn't he count on his uncle's chance to make a comeback?

Li Tai's eyes were blurred, full of helplessness.

The flame of hope in his heart was extinguished, and those who were also extinguished were those who invested in various businesses with Changsun Wuji.

The bullock cart business has never been very profitable, but it has a symbolic meaning. It symbolizes that this group of people has found a practical way to get rid of Yin Xuan's influence.

Now that this symbolic thing is gone, they are also a little dazed and a little scared.

No one knows whether the business in their hands will be affected in this way.

Like Li Daozong and the others, they went to Changsun Wuji to find a new method.

嗏

Some people think that Changsun Wuji may be unreliable, and they feel that this is nothing more than delaying their own death.

Lord Zhengyang has already started attacking these gentry from all sides!
After so many years of laying the groundwork, he finally felt that it was the most suitable time!
The Wei family had this in mind.

In other words, they panicked.

Yin Lulu checked the expenses in the court hall recently, and found out many pests - many of them were surnamed Wei or Du.

Scholars from poor families, except for shameless people like Li Yifu, most of them have no interest disputes with most officials in the court.

Especially after Han Chuang has studied hard for so many years, they have ambitions in their hearts.

Therefore, scholars from poor families rarely experience corruption and fraud after they become officials.

On the contrary.

These people from noble families seem to have experienced all kinds of extravagant life. They should be like Yin Lulu, who have no pursuit of foreign things and are conscientious officials.

嗏

But in fact, it's not.

Precisely because they were born in noble families, the pursuit of most of them is not as simple as that of poor families, but is clearly for the benefit of their own family.

For this reason, they can appropriately sacrifice some other interests—for example, those of the common people, such as those of the Tang Dynasty, so as to achieve and consolidate their goals.

If Yin Lulu continued to investigate, most of the people found out would be members of their Wei family and Du family, and these positions were vacated.

The Wei family and the Du family have precedents, so it is naturally impossible to continue to send other people to sit in these positions, and judging from Li Shimin's attitude during this period.

He even hoped to use the children of poor families to fill these vacancies. Eighty percent of the positions vacated by crushing the pests were occupied by children from poor families, and the remaining [-]% ​​were occupied by noble families.

Chaotang and Chaotang were suppressed, and merchants and merchants were not going well.

The Wei family was indeed panicked.

After hearing the news that Li Tai had slowed down, he immediately delivered a letter of invitation, saying that he would pay a visit.

Li Tai was slightly taken aback when he received the greeting card.

I am now a bereaved dog. A shrewd family like the Wei family should stay far away from me. Why... I took the initiative to send it to my door.

He didn't say no, which is great news.

The Wei family came and brought up a souvenir, a pair of gold Pixiu, which was also worth a lot of money, which could relieve part of the financial crisis in Prince Jiang's mansion.

The Wei family, led by the servant, walked to the study.

Just when he opened the door and entered, he was about to say hello, when he glanced at the scene in the room, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

It's almost empty.

Except for a bed, a set of tables and chairs, there was nothing else. He had been to Li Tai's study before, and the familiar koi and red jade screens, wall hangings, and even rosewood bookshelves were all there. disappeared.

Those books are still there.

But... it was scribbled on the bed.

"A few days ago, in order to fill the vacancy in the Tang Bank, I had to sell some useless things for some money." Li Tai captured his facial information and said the reason frankly.

The Wei family sighed in their hearts.

Li Tai is really different, this time tempering has made him mature a lot - at least the Li Tai before could not speak such ordinary words.

"Your Highness has worked hard these days." The Wei family comforted.

Li Tai smiled lightly and waved his hands: "Why are you looking for me?"

"I would like to know, what plans does Your Highness have in the future?" the Wei family asked.

Li Tai's eyes were a little dazed, he shook his head, and laughed at himself: "Probably it's An An'an, who will be my Tai Xue sacrificial wine."

"His Royal Highness wants to be safe, but can he really be safe?" The Wei family narrowed their eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and asked with a sharp voice.

Li Tai tilted his head back, his eyes were more scrutinizing: "What does this mean?"

What do you mean... Can I really get a stable life?
Could it be that my guess...

The Wei family took another deep breath, gritted their teeth, and said, "Your Highness, do you know...why His Majesty demoted His Highness to King Jiang?"

Li Tai's face darkened: "I also had guesses before."

After a pause, he recounted the guess, and then continued: "Could it be that you think so too?"

The Wei family breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Tai has the heart to guess, and the next step will be easy.
