Following the case, Bian Hong laughed lazily: "Oh, with the Lord's words, Bian Hong, as the Lord's man, suddenly feels at ease!"

"Hahaha!"

When Wen Nannan saw Sui Bianhong and Lin Zhihuang quarreling again, a few smiles appeared in his dark eyes.

Lin Zhihuang didn't blush when Sui Bianhong teased him half-jokingly. He turned to Wen Nanfang with a very shameless smile and asked: "Congshen, Congyuan said he was very at ease. What about you?"

Wen Nanfang looked at Lin Zhihuang's phoenix eyes and said seriously: "Nan Nan will feel at ease by your side."

"Hahaha!"

Sui Bian Hong laughed so hard that he couldn't hold back. He stroked his thin black hair and said teasingly: "If you want to talk about how to talk and please the lord, and how smart you are, you are second best. No one dares to be the first."

Wen Nanfang glanced at Sui Bianhong, who was laughing non-stop, and said softly: "Thank you, senior brother, for the compliment."

As soon as Wen Nanfang said this, Bian Hong's laughter suddenly stopped, and his pair of shining peach blossom eyes looked at the jade gentleman sitting in front of the desk in astonishment.

Suibian Hongwei couldn't believe that the shameless person in front of him was still the same Junior Brother Duansu who would argue with him after just a few words of ridicule.

It was rare for Lin Zhihuang to see Sui Bianhong's expression of astonishment on his face, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After Bian Hong was stunned, he turned to look at Lin Zhihuang: "It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. It seems that this sentence is true. The fruit of audacity will affect others."

"Congyuan, you don't understand. This is called self-confidence." Lin Zhihuang raised his chin slightly and raised his eyebrows in a pleasant manner: "What is shameless?"

Wen Nanfang nodded calmly: "My lord, what you said makes sense."

Sui Bianhong: "…………"

In late autumn, all the green leaves are withered and yellow, and are blown to the ground by the strong wind. Everywhere you look is luxuriously covered with a carpet of dark yellow leaves. Cold autumn is approaching.

The reform of the small imperial court under Emperor Lin Zhihuang was as tough and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping through fallen leaves. It swept away the noble families who ruled the nine counties, and all of them looked as yellow as fallen leaves.

Huai Bingzhu, the head of the Huai family, sat in the main seat in the hall with a gloomy look on his face. The heads of the other aristocratic families sat in a row in order according to their family rank, all of them looked unhappy.

"What do you mean, King Quan? Are you determined to go against our aristocratic families?" the head of a first- and fifth-grade aristocratic family said angrily.

"That is, King Quan opened Guanshu Pavilion and Zhizi Pavilion under his rule, so that people with untouchable backgrounds can study on the same level as us and other nobles. It is already too much!"

"Now that the government is still undergoing restructuring, King Quan has made up his mind to target the nobles and support the poor and untouchables!"

"Yes, we have already given in like this, and King Quan is still pressing forward step by step. It is really too much to bully others. Are we from aristocratic families just sitting back and waiting for death?"

"Master Huai, you have the highest status here, why don't you say something?"

The head of the Huai family, Huai Bingzhu, looked up at the head of the fifth-rank family who spoke first, and said hoarsely: "You made a mistake."

The head of the fifth-grade aristocratic family pointed at himself and asked the people around him with puzzled eyes whether he had said something wrong just now.

"You said His Highness Prince Quan wants to go against our family." Huai Bingzhu, the head of the Huai family, reminded.

The head of this fifth-grade family opened his eyes wide, stood up and said, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not. King Quan has never paid attention to our family since he opened Guanshu Pavilion."

After finishing speaking, Huai Bingzhu turned his eyes and looked around at everyone present, and raised his voice: "It's not that King Quan wants to go against us, but we are gathered here now, aren't we conspiring on how to go against King Quan?"

As soon as Huai Bingzhu said this, the whole place was quiet for a moment, and then exploded in an instant.

"Master Huai, what do you mean by this?"

"Master Huai, are you planning to submit to Prince Quan's yellow-haired girl?"

"Master Huai, the Huai family is a first-class family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Are you willing to let people destroy the foundation of your family like this?"

"Master Huai..."

All the heads of the aristocratic families present criticized Huai Bingzhu at the same time.

Huai Bingzhu sat motionless in the main seat and only said: "Don't you realize that there are fewer people here?"

"who?"

"Who's missing?"

"Ah, the heads of the Liao family and the Jiang family didn't come."

"Indeed, why don't they come today if they go?"

"Could it be..."

Huai Bingzhu nodded: "Because they don't want to come to die."

As soon as Huai Bingzhu said this, he immediately aroused public outrage.

"What does the Huai Family Master mean by these words?"

"Master Huai Family, have you taken notice of that powerful king?"

"Master Huai, you..."

Huai Bingzhu said in a cold voice: "I didn't want to come here today, but for the sake of past friendship, I still came."

"Let me ask, how do you want to resist King Quan's implementation of this system?"

"Are you using it to block the grain route or finances to coerce the king of power into giving in?"

As soon as Huai Bingzhu asked this question, the scene suddenly became quiet again.

Huai Bingzhu saw that all the family heads present stopped talking, and continued: "You have also seen the fate of the Ma family that controls the entire grain road and grain storage in Kuzhou. The grain road and grain storage have now been fully restored.

The king controls it."

"As for the finances under King Quan's rule, look at King Quan's compensation for the soldiers who died in the war and his recent policies to benefit the people. Which one does not require financial support? Will he bow to us because of financial issues?"

"Don't compare King Quan with King Lu and Xue Thief. Now King Quan has been painstakingly managing the nine counties under his control for a year. Fanhu County has become a major county for maritime trade, and merchants from all over the world gather here to sell and trade."

"I can make a rough calculation of the commercial taxes in that county alone, and they can cover the military supplies. I won't go into details about the rest."

Huai Bingzhu looked around at everyone: "Tell me, is there any other way to make King Quan make concessions to our family?"

The head of the first- and third-grade family was dissatisfied and said angrily: "Don't the Huai family still have salt? If the Huai family stops supplying salt..."

"Scoff!" Huai Bingzhu sneered: "Master Huang, King Quan has now set up an official salt farm and is using new methods to make salt. You don't even know about this?"

Several other family heads who were informed of the incident immediately echoed Huai Bingzhu's words in a low voice, confirming that his words were true.

There is a second-grade family head who likes to show off, and he also mocks the third-grade family head who refutes Huai Bingzhu's words for being late in the news. He doesn't even know about this. It really makes people laugh.

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to sit back and watch that powerful king implement a new system and destroy the foundation of our family's long-lasting existence?"
