The world is majestic

Yinhu and Lv Lianrong strolled back to the magistrate's mansion. As soon as they got back to the house, someone begged to see him outside the door. Yinhu looked up and saw that it was Tang Quansheng.

Sure enough, Tang Quansheng said with a smile on his face: "The crown prince asked Ba Ye to go over and talk. In addition, the crown prince asked Ba Ye to change his clothes. In the evening, the magistrate hosted a banquet for the two masters."

Yinhu nodded when he heard the words, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang." He ordered to take a package and hand it to Tang Quansheng. , the more unpretentious the better."

"Grandpa, what is this?"

"The magistrate is hosting a banquet. Although I can't openly oppose the second brother and the others, I don't want to just follow their wishes." Yinhu sighed, "Speaking of it, what is my eighth elder brother? It's really useless to be ruled by others everywhere."

"Father..."

"Needless to say, let's take a look tonight to see if I, the prince's second brother, intend to clean up the mess in Jiangxi!" Yinhu clenched his fists after speaking, and said every word sonorously.

"Second brother."

Yinfeng raised his head when he heard the words, and seeing Yinhu standing at the door with his arms folded all in gray and black, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are you wearing such clothes, it's so weird to look at."

Yinhu smiled lightly and said, "Now that I'm on an errand, I feel very uneasy. How can I care about what clothes to choose? Besides, if I wear too bright clothes, I feel heart-piercing when I look at them."

"Stab the heart?" Yinrong walked up to Yinhu with a smile that was not a smile, stretched out his hand lightly to pinch Yinhu's chin and said in a low voice, "Didn't the eighth brother come to stab my heart on purpose?"

Yinhu staggered slightly, and tilted his head to avoid Yinrong's restraint, "What are you talking about, the second brother doubts me?"

Yinfeng stared closely at Yinhu's face, his gaze was like a sword, and Yinhu, who was looking straight at him, felt hairy, then turned around and smiled and said, "I'm just joking with you. Speaking of which, the eighth younger brother is really handsome, so cold Wearing the cool color on your body, it also brings a sense of gentleness and elegance."

"Second brother won the award. I wonder what second brother thinks about this Jiangxi tea market?" Yinhu didn't like Yinrong's slightly frivolous tone very much, so he changed the topic and asked.

With a smile on his face, Yinfeng walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely to Yinhu: "Take care, you must take care of it, but this meddling is a muscle-bending, I'm afraid many people will be hurt. It hurts." After a pause, the smile became stronger and he said: "I must have a pain."

Yinhu saw that he said these things to himself without any shyness, and couldn't figure out what his intentions were, so he could only follow his words and said: "As smart as the second brother, he will definitely be able to come up with a plan to get the best of both worlds."

"I'm really worried right now, and I still hope that my eighth brother can give my second brother some advice."

"It's not that there is no way, I'm afraid the second brother has already thought of it, but he just doesn't want to use it."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

Seeing Yinrong looking at him with great interest, Yinhu had no choice but to say to him: "The reason why the tea market in Jiangxi is turbulent and chaotic is that the rich merchants wantonly monopolize the purchase of famous tea. There must be someone who is responsible for making progress every year." The imperial merchants, they had rich furniture, and after harvesting the tea leaves, they removed the high-quality parts. The good ones were presented to high-ranking officials and families, the middle-class ones were transported and sold to other provinces, and the low-quality ones were sold to local tea merchants. The tea farmers could not receive the tea, so they had to buy it from rich merchants at a high price. The higher the purchase price, the higher the price of selling it, but the tea farmers who planted ordinary tea lost money because no one bought the tea. The matter is extremely easy, as long as the governor of Liangjiang gives an order to cut off the monopoly of these rich merchants, the tea farmers are not allowed to drive up the price of tea, and each family purchases according to the specified amount, within a few days, the tea market will be calm."

"You said it lightly." Yin Reng chuckled, shook his fan and slapped it twice: "The most important thing for a businessman is a word of profit. If this plan is really implemented, then the rich businessmen in Jiangxi will not join hands to make money." The governor's mansion was blown up? How could Fan Chengxun have the guts to do such a thing."

"Even though he has no guts, he doesn't dare to disobey the crown prince's wishes."

Looking at Yinhu's smiling face, Yinfeng couldn't help shaking his fan in a funny way and said, "Why do you think I can deal with this matter? This matter will do me harm but not any benefit. If it is to deal with the emperor Over there, I have thousands of reasons to deal with, why bother to feel sorry for myself?"

Yinhu was about to say more, when Tang Quansheng knocked on the door, and Yinrong called, "Come in."

"Lord Dai said that the banquet has been set up, please invite the two masters to have dinner."

Yinfeng stood up and put away the fan, and smiled with Yinhu: "Let's talk about this matter later, I am the master, we are the guests, it is not good to keep the master waiting for a long time, let's go."

Yinhu had no choice but to walk along, cursing Yinrong's cunning and smoothness secretly in his heart, asked what he meant, but pushed the question back like a rubber ball.

The banquet was held in the flower hall not far from Yinhu's courtyard. Dai Shou had ordered someone to keep it spotless, and prepared a table of good wine and food for the two of them. When I was there, I saw how many people were already at the banquet.When Dai Shou saw them coming, he rushed forward to greet them, the rest of the people also stood up and saluted, Dai Shou introduced them one by one.

"The one on the right is Mr. Fan Chengxun, the governor of Liangjiang, the one in the middle is Mr. Tu Yuwentu, the prefect of Xinzhou, and the one next to him is Mr. Pei Lupei, the prefect of Yuanzhou. When the adults heard that His Highness the Crown Prince and the eighth elder brother were coming, they all rushed forward. Hurry over here, whatever you say, you have to clean up the dust for the two masters together."

Yinhu couldn't help but pay more attention to Fan Chengxun on the far right when he heard the words. The man in front of him looked about fifty, with a scholar's beard, and a respectful appearance. I really couldn't tell that he was so smooth Big corrupt officials.

Yinfeng smiled and said to everyone: "My lords are really polite, don't stand still, let's all sit at the table." Si is on the right, Fan Chengxun is on the left, followed by Dai Shou, Tu Yuwen and Pei Lu.

At this time, it was sunset on the western mountain, and the lights were just coming on. Several people sat around a round table carved with red sandalwood. Dai Shou handed Fan Chengxun a color, and the latter immediately raised his glass and said, "I don't know if the crown prince and the eighth elder brother are here in Jiangxi. It's really the negligence of the lower officials, and the lower officials toasted to the two masters, and hope that there is something wrong, the two masters must be more forgiving, just be more forgiving."

Yinfeng smiled lightly and raised his glass to the full, so Yinhu had no choice but to drink it up in one gulp.Yinfeng laughed and said: "What are you doing so restrained? I have never been a harsh person. Don't I know your thoughts?"

Only then did the atmosphere in the banquet become more lively, Dai Shou ordered his subordinates to call a singer to come, and said with a smile: "This is the most famous singer in our Xunyang City, and she is especially good at singing Jiangxi ditties. Lord, I have never seen such a good thing, but it’s just a change of taste.” Said the song girl greeted everyone present, seeing her delicate and weak like Liu Fufeng, Yinfeng squinted and smiled: “Lord Dai If you have a heart, such a beautiful day, coupled with a beautiful woman, is indeed very pleasant! Haha."

Dai Shou was overjoyed to see that he had chosen the right appetite. He ordered the singing girl to sit aside and began to sing, while he was busy preparing dishes for Yinrong and Yinhu.

"Hey, it's not urgent, Tang Quansheng." Yinfeng smiled gently, and stopped Dai Shou from putting the goose pastry on Yinhu's plate. Tang Quansheng took out a silver needle from his bosom knowingly, and inspected each dish one by one After that, he respectfully said to Yinfeng: "Go back to the prince, you can eat all the dishes at ease." Yinfeng nodded in satisfaction, and personally added a chopstick of honey-glazed lotus root to Yinfeng.Seeing the embarrassment and panic on the faces of all the people in the banquet, he smiled and comforted: "It's not that this palace is suspicious of everyone, it's just that I'm not sure which unscrupulous servant wants to mix some unclean things in, I did this for the sake of your lord's safety, what do you think is true or not?"

Fan Chengxun laughed a few times with embarrassment on his face, thinking that he is a prince, he gave a face to face as soon as he arrived, and I am afraid that this time the tea market matter will not be so easy to be fooled.Busily smiling, he said to the crowd: "It's still the prince who is thoughtful, the officials and others are really far behind, beyond the reach of the dust."

"Yes, yes, it is really beyond reach." Everyone agreed together, Yinfeng smiled when he saw this, and said warmly: "Even so, you adults, use it quickly."

As soon as he came up and made such a thing, Yinhu couldn't figure out what the second brother of the prince wanted to do. It stands to reason that those who can appear at this banquet today should be his people, so why would he bother to dump these people? face?Is it for your own viewing?Yinhu smiled wryly, how could this be possible, Yinrong could use his hair to think that no matter what he did in the local area, it was impossible for him to report the truth to Kangxi after returning to the palace.After much deliberation, he finally couldn't understand what it meant, so Yinhu simply put the matter behind him, and planned to ask Yinrong another day.

Gradually, the banquet began to be enjoyable again. The singer next to her sang emotionally and gracefully. The flower hall has a wide view, and one can see the scenery under the afterglow of the sunset, which makes people feel a little bit comfortable.Seeing that Yinfeng seemed to be in a good mood at this time, Fan Chengxun thought about his attitude towards Yinhu during the banquet, and secretly thought that this is because the eighth elder brother must not be an outsider, so he approached with a smile and asked: "This time the Lord Long Live sent the crown prince?" Lord, come down and check that this is the Jiangxi tea market, I wonder what the prince's plan is?"

As soon as these words came out, several people at the banquet looked at each other knowingly, and put down their chopsticks to look at Yinfeng.

After Yinfeng took a sip of wine with a smile in his mouth, he said leisurely: "Do it, it must be done, otherwise the momentum here will be so big, if I go back to the palace without getting anything, Huang Ama won't do it." Punish me for the crime of incompetence?"

Fan Chengxun's hand holding the wine pot to add wine to Yin Reng trembled, and he said timidly: "This...to tell you the truth, the prince and the prefects also tried their best to restore the situation, but Once those wealthy businessmen have tasted the sweetness, it will be difficult to let them go. In this year's drought and floods, the funds allocated by the court are really tight. If something happens, they still have to rely on their support, so it is very difficult for Xiaguan. .”

Yinfeng glanced at Yinhu with a smile when he heard the words, and saw him calmly tasting the almond cheese in the bowl, as if he hadn't heard Fan Chengxun's words.Yinfeng thought for a while, and said to Fan Chengxun: "Why are only a few of you here today, the governor of Jiangxi and the inspector? You, the boss, are here. Where did the two of them hide?"

Seeing that he changed the subject, Fan Chengxun didn't want to ask more questions, so he smiled dryly and said: "The old father of Jiangxi Governor's family died of illness, and Ding You went home. As for the inspector... The crown prince doesn't know anything, that person I'm afraid that if he comes here, he will talk uninhibitedly and offend the crown prince and the eighth elder brother."

Yinhu became interested after hearing what he said, put down his chopsticks and asked, "Which one is serving as the inspector of Jiangxi now?"

"Brother Ba, it's Liu Qi from Zhucheng, Shandong. This person has a bit of arrogance and is not very easy to get along with."

Speaking of this person, Yinhu has some impressions. This person is upright and honest. I'm afraid he doesn't want to join forces with Jiangxi officials. His son Liu Tongxun was a Jinshi in the second year of Yongzheng, and his literary talent was very appreciated by Yinzhen. Although Yinhu didn't know about his official career, he remembered that he had several friendships with Liu Tongxun at that time. Like his father, he was upright, honest and frugal, so he should be highly valued by Yinzhen.

As a result, Yinhu couldn't help feeling a little bit of hope in his heart. If he could find Liu Qi, he might be able to solve his immediate problems.

After the meal was finished, Dai Shou specially ordered the singing girl to serve Yinfeng to go back to the room. Yinfeng never refused to beauties, so he accepted them without any excuses. Seeing that everyone was a little drunk, they were ready to go back After going to bed, Yinhu deliberately walked a few steps slower, followed Fan Chengxun and said to him: "Master Fan, I don't know if it is convenient for the Jiangxi Inspectorate to see him?"

"Well, it's convenient for Eighth Brother to see you, but why does Eighth Brother want to...?"

Yinhu saw the puzzled look on his face, and explained with a smile: "This person thinks he is talented and proud of his talent, and he doesn't even come to welcome my second brother and me when we come here, so I'll just let it go, second brother But he is the crown prince, he cannot be neglected, how can I tolerate this person being so disrespectful."

Only then did Fan Chengxun smile clearly: "The eighth elder brother and the prince are indeed brothers and sisters. I don't know how the eighth elder brother thinks of this Mr. Liu?"

Yinhu smiled lightly and replied: "Of course I didn't summon him in a fair manner. That way he would be flattered. If the second elder brother knew that I had met the minister privately because of this matter, he would definitely blame me. Please also ask Fan Your Excellency will help me book a banquet in Xunyang Tower, and find a reason to invite this Lord Liu here. Then I will just find something to beat him or scold him. There is nothing I can do, but don’t tell my second brother about this matter, if he finds out, he will definitely call me a fool.”

After Fan Chengxun finished the meal, he saw that Yinfeng and Yinhu were having a close conversation during the dinner, smiling and talking dimpled, not shy away from Yinhu in everything, and he had already recognized that Yinhu was also on their side. Yinhu made such a request, because he had been displeased with that Liu Qi for a long time, so he happened to deal with him together, so he readily agreed.

Seeing that he answered, Yinhu couldn't help but chuckled in his heart. He didn't know whether Master Fan was too simple-minded, or he was a little confused after drinking alcohol. In any case, after two days, he told Yinhu that the banquet was arranged at noon , in the Zhongyi Hall on the second floor of Xunyang Tower.Yinhu clenched his fists tightly, smiled calmly, and went out to the banquet with Lu Lianrong alone.

After he went out, he felt that someone was following him closely, and he thought to himself that Mr. Fan was not extremely stupid, and he knew how to let people follow him in case something went wrong. For now, he had to take a step and watch. Seeing Liu Qi in Xunyang Tower, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath.
