Rong Jian said that he would come back to Min's house the next day, but he couldn't keep his word. He asked Xia Changzheng to come over and tell Min Xiang that he couldn't come. When Min Xiang heard this, he just replied to Xia Changzheng lightly, "It's about the prince. The most important thing is that the humble house has been flourishing a few days before being able to entertain the prince, and I dare not let the prince live here again."

Only then did Xia Changzheng see Min Xiang's sharp mouth, and he bowed to him and said, "It's because the prince has something important to do, it's not that he didn't come on purpose."

Min Xiang glanced at him, and said, "Master Xia is also tired, let's have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Xia Changzheng, "..." He dislikes me for talking too much.

Xiao Ru'er misses Rong Jian so much. When Rong Jian is around, he will always be with him, and the family eats delicious food. When Rong Jian leaves, the level of the dining table at home has dropped several levels. It made Xiao Ru'er frown, but he didn't dare to touch his father's bad luck, for fear of being scolded by Min Xiang, who had been in a bad mood for a few days.

Let's talk about Rong Jian here.

It's not a good job to investigate the private salt case.

Because the profits of private salt sales are too high, officers and soldiers colluded with salt merchants, and many officials will be involved.

The emperor also said that this time it would be a good rectification, so that many officials would be sacked. This is a very hate-inducing errand.

If the status is not high, not upright and honest, and not afraid of revenge behind the back, this trip will not be possible at all.

Therefore, Rong Jian, as the prince and the most trusted sibling of the emperor, is the best candidate for this case, and he asked the emperor himself to investigate the case, the emperor naturally gave him full power in this case, and did not send Deputy supervisor, he can even kill first and play later.

Yunzhou is prosperous, with a large population, and it is the place where private salt is the most rampant, and there are many salt merchants here, so Rong Jian naturally started from here.

In a house in Yunzhou City, Rong Jian looked through a pile of evidence on the table. He didn't expect that Chen Xuanzhou, the chief soldier of water transport, would also be involved in smuggling salt. The fat vacancies, the emperor trusted him so much, but he neglected his duties, taking bribes and trafficking in private salt every year, amounting to 80 taels.

Although Rong Jian could deal with Chen Xuanzhou directly, he didn't do so because he was the emperor's confidant. Instead, he asked Xia Changzheng to bring the evidence into Beijing first.

Compared with Chen Xuanzhou, the other salt bribery and smuggling officials are just small heads.

There are too many people who will be dropped in this investigation of the smuggled salt case.

Rong Jian sighed, thinking that Yunzhou is prosperous, and there are so many people who want to make money wantonly because they can't bear this prosperity, this time there are so many people, and the law does not blame the public. I wonder if the emperor will show mercy in the end.

As a member of the royal family, Rong Jian is not a person who hates evil. After all, he has seen enough ugliness since he was a child. He cares more about the balance of power and the general trend of the world.

The evidence had already been rushed to the capital, and Rong Jian just appeared in the residence of Ke Junren, the prefect of Yunzhou.

As an official who wants to climb up, it is natural to always pay attention to the movements of the court. The emperor wants to investigate illegal salt. Naturally, no one will be sent to such a big matter. I have a good idea, probably the emperor sent King Qi to personally go to Yunzhou to investigate the case of smuggling salt.

Qi Wanggui is a prince, so this weight is huge.

There are turbulent waves secretly in Yunzhou official circles, and even the salt merchants, many of them have already settled down with their families, just look at what the hurricane will look like in the end.

The private salt case in Yunzhou started with Rong Jian's appearance in the prefect's mansion in Yunzhou, and started the turmoil in the officialdom of the imperial court. In the end, it was not only the private salt case, but also a corruption case, the case where the court and the Wu family fell eight years ago. Another big shakeup.

The emperor hated officials forming cliques very much, and he also hated officials relying on the old to sell the old. .

When Rong Jian arrived at the magistrate's mansion, he was immediately greeted with noble standards.

From the visits by officials of all sizes from Yunzhou Prefecture to the luxurious reception banquet, Yunzhou has rich resources and natural treasures, and is also rich in beauties. Naturally, the magistrate will not be stingy. Different beauties, four men and four women, no matter whether King Qi likes women, or the secret news that he is better at men, this can satisfy him.

The prefect Ke Junren also arranged the best courtyard in the mansion for King Qi to live in, and he moved to live in the courtyard for entertaining guests.

King Qi talked about the investigation of private salt, but he asked the government officials to report the situation to him. Naturally, these officials reported the official stuff. Not only was there no problem with private salt, but the official salt was all fake. account.

King Qi didn't say anything. There are a lot of people around him every day, listening to operas and watching flowers, painting boats and swimming in the lake, with beauties beside him, enjoying themselves so much that they seem to have forgotten that they are here to investigate the case of smuggling salt .

Min Xiang's family lives in Xinyan Town, where salt merchants gather, so they can naturally get a lot of news.

The earliest news I got was brought back by Min Changqing.

The family of Huang Yuanwai, who taught him piano, was a famous salt merchant.

The wife who lives in Xinyan Town is not actually Huang Yuanwai's wife, but a favored concubine with several other concubines. The wife is in her hometown, and this concubine is here to support the family.

These daughters of his are all beautiful, and they hired good teachers to teach them piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and the rules of the rich family. Naturally, they want to give them to officials as concubines in the future.

But this wife is very favored by Yuanwai Huang, so she knows a lot of things.

Min Changqing is elegant and refined, not only loved by Huang Yuanwai's daughters, but even his wife has a deep love for him. In his 30s, the flowers are in full bloom, and he is full of style. Min Changqing goes to Huang Yuanwai every day. Everyone has to be seduced by this gorgeously dressed woman.

Min Changqing remained unmoved, not affected by her at all, and coped well, but he also learned a lot from this woman.

For example, when Prince Qi came to investigate the smuggled salt case, the family was still trembling before, but now they are not as scared as before, and Huang Yuanwai even went to accompany guests. Of course, he saw the prince from a far away table, but After returning home, she really bragged about it, and the wife was naturally proud of it, and told Min Changqing a lot about this grand event.

Min Changqing then asked about King Qi, and was naturally told that among the men in the world, who is not lustful, the prefect of Yunzhou first offered eight beauties, and then others offered, I don’t know how many, King Qi is greedy for beauty , I don't want to do anything about the private salt case at all.

Not only that, in the private salt case, court officials were involved in almost half of them, and the emperor was afraid that he would make a move, and he could not dare to do so without blaming the public.

When Min Changqing returned home, he was accompanied by two servants from the Huang family, who came to give a thank you gift, and left after putting down their things at the Min's house.

Min Xiang was teaching Xiao Ru'er to read, and more often Xiao Ru'er was reading by himself, sometimes lazily watching the birds or glancing at his father, while Min Xiang was in a daze.

Rong Jian really didn't come back, he didn't express anything on the surface, but he didn't feel well in his heart.

Seeing him like this, Min Changqing naturally understood what he was thinking.

After dinner, Min Xiang and Min Changqing played chess and made mistakes many times. After Min Changqing couldn't bear Min Xiang's longing for Rong Jian, he said, "This time the court wants to investigate the case of smuggling salt, and it sent His Royal Highness Prince Qi here. He is now Live in the prefect's mansion."

Min Xiangben stared at the chessboard, and raised his head at this time, but he just responded lightly, "Oh."

Another child fell, as if he didn't care about it.

However, his trembling hand just now let Min Changqing know how he could not care about King Qi.

So Min Changqing recounted what he heard at Huang's house that day as if taking revenge, and even said, "Yunzhou is full of beauties, and the ones sent to him must be the best. He has beauties by his side now. I don’t know if I’m awake.”

Min Xiang's hand trembled again when he was going to grab the chess piece in the chess box, but he failed to catch the chess piece several times.

After that, I had no choice but to say, "Don't talk about him in front of me."

After speaking, he got up and went out.

Min Changqing looked at his back, the weather was getting warmer, and Min Xiang didn't wear as much as before. He was dressed in white, with satin-like long hair, fluttering like a fairy.

Even if Rong Jian is the prince, so what, the lustful person who came to see Min Xiang would also defile him.

Min Xiang was very angry with Rong Jian. He knew that Rong Jian was not that kind of person, but he was still unhappy.

It's said that he plays a show every time, so I don't know if he is doing a fake show for real.

Min Xiang was so angry that he couldn't even sleep well, and then he thought, what should I do to think about Rong Jian, and what he wants to do is none of my business.

He clearly said that he wanted the two to forget, but now he felt jealous and awkward like a woman.

So he let himself not think about him.

However, a few days later, Min Xiang took Xiao Ru'er to go shopping in the city, and Min Changqing also followed, and heard the whole city talking about Prince Qi's visit to Yunzhou Mansion.

Of course, the topic that everyone is more interested in is that there is actually a vacant position for the concubine in Prince Qi's mansion. His previous concubine passed away and has not yet remarried.

Now almost every young girl dreamed of being his favorite, and said that the magistrate asked her daughter to see him, hoping that even if she couldn't be the main concubine, she would be a side concubine or a concubine.

Of course, in Yunzhou, where operas are popular, Prince Qi’s visit to Yunzhou has been changed to operas or storytelling scripts. It's all about how the prince fell in love with a certain woman, and then...

The prince naturally didn't know that he had been sexually obsessed countless times, and he was still thinking about how to make Min Xiang go with him willingly.

Did he know how much Min Xiang held grudges against these things? If Min Xiang himself was not happy and took him away forcefully, if he wanted Min Xiang to forgive him in the future, I'm afraid he would not just stand at the gate of his courtyard for two days.

When Min Xiang heard about Rong Jian's affairs all over the city, he was annoyed at Rong Jian at first, but then he couldn't help laughing, wondering if he could do it alone.These storytellers, even if they want to do business to earn copper coins, please think about practical issues.
