Dugulie asked in confusion: "What's the explanation for this?"

The Ninth Prince said: "You shouldn't have said these words. If the person sitting in front of me was not the Sixth Young Master Dugulie who was famous all over the capital, I would have thought it was someone who didn't know the world. What does it mean to blame someone on Qingzhou Salt Road?

Si, Xiaoliu, you did something wrong!"

Dugu Lie sighed softly, but remained silent.

The Ninth Prince sat on the chair opposite, looked at Dugu Lie and said, "How long has it been?"

"How long has it been?" Dugu Lie asked slowly.

The Ninth Prince sneered and said: "Sixth Young Master, if you keep hiding it, don't blame me for being rude. Do you know how serious this matter will be? I have never seen my father so angry. He has already ordered the Salt Road Division to be the commander-in-chief.

He was directly thrown into the prison of the Zongren Mansion, and the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs took action. The officials of the Salt and Dao Department did not know how many people would die this time. The refined salt was leaked. Besides the insiders of the Zongren Mansion and the Salt and Dao Department, who else would be there?

"

Dugu Lie said: "Then we should investigate the Salt Road Secretary, right? The clan's mansion is a member of the royal clan."

"But the people in charge of the technology of the Salt Channel Department are all from the Zongren Mansion." The Ninth Prince sneered: "Look at you, your whole mind is confused now. You said you didn't know, do you really think I'm stupid?

"

Dugu Lie sighed: "I really don't know!"

The Ninth Prince stood up and said, "In that case, excuse me!" After that, he turned and left.

After the Ninth Prince left, Dugu Lie immediately shouted: "Here comes someone!"

The guard who had left before immediately appeared in front of him.

"Check for me where the refined salt in Beijing comes from."

Ling Xin'an was walking leisurely on North Street. The capital was bustling with activity. Ling Xin'an suddenly stopped while walking. In front of him, two men in plain clothes were looking at him with a smile. When he looked back, there were two smells behind him.

A faint shadow enveloped him.

Ling Xin'an turned to look at the man in front of her, her eyes calm.

"Master Li, my master invites you!" The man in plain clothes on the left said with a gentle smile and a calm look.

Ling Xin'an looked at it and said, "Do people in the capital invite people like this?"

The man said: "My master doesn't like to be in public."

Ling Xin'an said: "What if I refuse?"

The man in plain clothes said: "That's really a pity. My master is rarely rejected by others, and the consequences are unpredictable."

Ling Xin'an stared at the two of them for a long time. The latter was still smiling, standing there quietly and motionless, and suddenly smiled and said: "You two, please lead the way!"

The man in plain clothes on the left smiled and said: "Master Li, please come with me."

So, Ling Xin'an followed the two of them and turned the corner. A green carriage was waiting. The man in plain clothes said, "Mr. Li, please take a seat."

Ling Xin'an smiled and stepped into the carriage. It was not big inside and could only sit for two people, but it was decorated with very soft futons. Ling Xin'an sat on it and couldn't help but sigh. It was really comfortable. It was covered all around and could not see clearly outside.

, only the sounds from both sides of the street came to my ears, and as the sounds became smaller and smaller, until about two-quarters of an hour later, it stopped at an unknown place.

"Master Li, here we are, my master is waiting for you."

Ling Xin'an opened the curtain, stepped out of the carriage, and was surprised to find that this was a very quiet courtyard, with rockeries, green pines, and bamboos, flowing clear water, and fresh and fragrant air.

"Please come with me, Mr. Li!"

Along the secluded path, Ling Xin'an came to the door of a pavilion, and a low voice rang out: "Master Li, if you are not welcome from afar, please take a seat!"

Ling Xin'an stepped into the hall slowly, and saw a pair of bright eyes staring at her, with an aggressive light. Ling Xin'an looked around. This was a middle-aged man with a burly figure, sitting there like a mountain.

Ling Xin'an hadn't recovered yet, but there was a soft cry in her ears.

Ling Xin'an looked at it, and her eyes couldn't help but be startled. The person who screamed was the housekeeper Yang of Ling Mansion. At this time, he was staring at Ling Xin'an in disbelief. The light in Ling Xin'an's eyes flashed away, and he frowned slightly in confusion.

Looking at him, the latter immediately averted his eyes and lowered his head slightly.

"Steward Yang, what's the matter?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, since we have distinguished guests here and the minor matters have been communicated, we have returned to the palace to resume our duties!" Butler Yang bowed.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's anger flashed away, and he nodded and said: "Go!"

After Butler Yang left, Ling Xin'an saluted and said: "I pay my respects to Prince Jing!"

The middle-aged man looked slightly startled: "Do you know Butler Yang?"

Ling Xin'an shook her head and said, "Xiaomin doesn't know him."

"Then why did you call me Prince Jing when someone called me Prince?"

Ling Xin'an said: "There are thousands of princes in the world, but for business, especially in the capital, there is only one Prince Jing! I really can't think of any other prince who would look for me except for business.

I am a thick old man who smells like copper."

The middle-aged man, Prince Jing, smiled and said: "As expected of a man who can shake up the capital with a single hand, Dugu Lie has met his opponent this time!"

Ling Xin'an said: "Your Majesty, I'm wrong. People don't want to compete with others. What matters in business is win-win cooperation."

The middle-aged man, Prince Jing, said: "But with this move, you seem to want to rewrite the entire structure of the capital!"

"The prince thinks too highly of me. The Shuntian Mansion will not look for the Duke's Mansion. Even if it does, it will be suppressed by the Duke's Mansion. Nothing will happen to Dugu Lie. The reason why the common people are like this is just to want more."

It’s just a layer of protection to let more and more people know about it!”

Prince Jing said: "This is a wonderful move. You are just an outsider, but you are so courageous to move this mountain. If you are not a tiger descending from the mountain, you are extremely stupid. Obviously you are the former."

Ling Xin'an said: "My lord, you put so much effort into inviting me here. Since you are not trying to murder me, and it is certainly not to praise me, you should just tell me what you have to say!"

Prince Jing smiled and said, "Young man, are you in a hurry?"

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "No, if possible, I want to stay in Prince Jing's Mansion until three days later."

"Haha. Then you can stay here for three days!" King Jing laughed.

Ling Xin'an's face was stunned, and she looked at Prince Jing in disbelief.

The latter picked up the tea, sipped it gently, and tasted the tea slowly, looking calm and calm.

After a long time, Ling Xin'an smiled bitterly and said: "I hope the prince will show his kindness!"

"Didn't you say we want win-win cooperation?" Prince Jing sneered.

Hearing this, Ling Xin'an was silent for a long time, slowly stood up straight, looked at Prince Jing, and said calmly: "Your Majesty has to use his power to suppress others. I have nothing to say, but if Your Majesty does this, I will be convinced. It's terrifying.

The prince is disappointed!"

A cold light flashed in Prince Jing's eyes: "Do you think I don't dare to kill you? Are you saying that I don't understand the rules?"

Ling Xin'an shook her head: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The whole world in this great Zhou Dynasty belongs to the Emperor and His Majesty's family. Your royal brand is imprinted on this land. You talk about the rules. If these words are spread, others will not dare to laugh, and the common people will be bold.

I will still sneer, but my lord, have you ever thought about it, if all the merchants in this capital belong to you, foreign merchants cannot enter, you control all the supplies, and control the daily life of the entire capital, I dare you

Imagine if these merchants gathered together one day, this capital city..."

"Unbridled!" There was a roar, with Prince Jing as the center, a powerful and unparalleled aura came towards Ling Xin'an with murderous intent. Ling Xin'an's face changed drastically, and she retreated uncontrollably, her chest felt sweet, and there was a trace of blood.

Flow out from the corner of the mouth.

Feeling Prince Jing's murderous rage, Ling Xin'an's eyes were cold and she stared at him without mercy. At the same time, with him as the center, a faint momentum slowly burst out.

Seeing this, Prince Jing, who was furious, calmed down and looked at Ling Xin'an, feeling surprised in his heart.

The surrounding area was shaking, and countless figures rushed out from every corner, immediately surrounding Ling Xin'an.

Looking at Ling Xin'an who was not afraid at all, Prince Jing was silent for a long time, then suddenly waved his hand: "Stand back!"

The crowd receded like a tide.

Ling Xin'an looked at Prince Jing and said coldly: "Your Majesty, it's just for those blank account books. You can just send someone to say something. Why do you have to do this?"

Prince Jing sneered and said: "You are such a bastard, do you think that I don't dare to kill you?"

Ling Xin'an shook her head and said: "If the prince has no other instructions, I will leave. I just don't know which father-in-law will send me out!"

Prince Jing sneered: "Why, is it because I am dissatisfied with treating you like this?"

Ling Xin'an spoke again: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin once said that doing business requires win-win cooperation. Your Majesty has no heart for cooperation, let alone sincerity. If Xiaomin says more, he will be asking for trouble!"

Prince Jing said: "Before the sun goes down, there must be no shortage of the palace's account books."

Ling Xin'an bowed slightly and said: "I obey your prince's instructions! Your prince entertains you today. I will deeply appreciate it!"

After that, he walked towards the door. At the entrance of the yard, the man in plain clothes was already waiting, with the same smile on his face.

She silently followed him into the carriage and left the palace. When the carriage stopped, Ling Xin'an opened the curtain, stepped out of the carriage and saluted: "Thank you, father-in-law!"

The man in plain clothes said: "Mr. Li, don't forget what the prince ordered!"

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "How could it be? The prince entertained me so warmly, so the people will naturally go all out to repay the prince's kindness!"

The man in plain clothes smiled, stepped on the carriage and turned back.

Ling Xin'an turned around, her face livid, her fingers clenched tightly, her eyes slightly blood red, and she headed towards Shuyuan Restaurant. People were coming and going around the street, and it was bustling. Not long after, a group of seventy or eighty-year-olds appeared in front of them.

The children, holding wind chimes and lollipops, chased each other back and forth among the crowd, constantly getting in and out. Pedestrians smiled bitterly and gave way. In a few breaths, they came to Ling Xin'an's side.

Xin'an looked at them and was about to reach out when suddenly, an extremely threatening aura came from both sides, and Ling Xin'an's expression changed drastically.

In the flash of lightning, Ling Xin'an understood that this was a carefully planned assassination.

He lowered his head and quickly glanced at the children around him, looking at the newly opened lollipops and bright wind chimes in their hands. It was obvious that the enemy was taking advantage of these children. At this time, they could not feel the sword energy coming towards them in the void.
