Originally, Jian Yun wanted to refuse, but thinking about how she had been helping Xue Gao with these things recently, she had been busy for so long, and if she didn't treat herself, it really couldn't be justified.

So after thinking about it, Jian Yun decided to choose a few meals and take them back.

Walking on the road, Jian Xiaoyi couldn't help smelling the smell of the food.

"Mother, do we still want to continue to help the prince investigate these things?" Jian Xiaoyi looked at Jian Yun uneasily and asked.

Jian Yun didn't seem to be able to understand why Jian Xiaoyi suddenly showed such a slightly panicked look, she nodded: "Do you remember what my mother told you before? ”

She took Jian Xiaoyi all the way back to their own room, Jian Yun found out the clean dishes and chopsticks, and put all the food into the bowl, before looking up at Jian Xiaoyi and saying word by word.

Xiao Yi probably already has a concept of family and country in his heart that will be instilled by Jian Yun, but it is not so profound.

"Mother, these people are just greedy for a little profit, how can it affect the safety of the society?" Jian Xiaoyi looked at Jian Yun puzzled and asked.

This question is well asked, Jian Yun held his chin and looked at Jian Xiaoyi contemplatively.

It's not just Jian Xiaoyi, but ordinary people will only think that it's just a trivial matter after hearing about it, and those people just want to use their power to get some benefits for themselves.

"Look at the small just for a little profit, but if you look at it bigger, it's not like this, think about it, if you do business, you have to pay taxes to the state when you earn that money, and after paying taxes to the country, the imperial court can use the money to do a lot of things, these things may be like the last time we built a canal, or you can buy a lot of weapons, and it is more likely that you can raise a lot of elite soldiers to enhance comprehensive national strength. Jian Yun said as he put some food into Jian Xiaoyi's bowl.

Jian Xiaoyi listened as if he didn't understand.

But from Jian Yun's words, it is not difficult for Jian Xiaoyi to hear that the existence of these people will affect the strength of the country.

"But if they do business, they will also make money, is it different to be rich when they make money?" Jian Xiaoyi looked up at Jian Yun in confusion, and asked all the doubts in his heart.

At this time, few people would explain these things to Jian Xiaoyi as patiently as Jian Yun.

"If there is a force behind them, then they are likely to escape this tax, so that our court will not be able to get this money, and the people will have a lot less money to buy other things because they want to buy those things necessary to survive from them at a high price, so that in the long run, won't our court's income be less? In the short term, it is only a little less than a star, but in the long run, this is also a big number. Jian Yun said as he handed Jian Xiaoyi all the meat into his bowl.

Jian Xiaoyi glanced at the meat in his bowl, and gave Jian Yun more than half of it back with a straight face: "Mother's time is hard, Xiaoyi has so many delicious things to eat every day, and you can't eat so much anymore." ”

Seeing Jian Xiaoyi like this, Jian Yun's heart warmed, and she smiled and ate the meat that Jian Xiaoyi brought back to her.

And when Leng Yun checked the things that Jian Yun had brought back, he found something terrible.

"Lord Wang, let's check down here and find that this matter seems to be inextricably linked to King Huai, among which the top few people in the Chamber of Commerce are all people under King Huai. Leng Yun looked at Xue Gao with a straight face and said.

As soon as he heard the word King Huai, Xue Gao's face changed suddenly.

He is King Shen, and King Huai is the emperor's brother like him, but the difference is that King Shen only has the emperor and no throne in his heart, and he is like a brother and sister to the emperor, and he is also one of the most powerful assistants of the saint today, but King Huai is the person who fought for the throne with the emperor at the beginning.

"In addition, the subordinates also found out about this matter, King Huai has already arranged for many people to lurk in the Chamber of Commerce, and now many people have mixed into a higher position in the Chamber of Commerce, if it weren't for the fact that when the subordinates were investigating this matter, they also checked the details of those people by the way, and many of them may have become fish that slipped through the net. Leng Yun's face looked at Xue Gao very badly and said.

Even now, he didn't dare to guarantee that all the people who were pregnant with the king had been found out by him.

Xue Gaoguang looked at the thick pile of paper in front of him and felt shocked.

"How many sins has he done over the years? You see that this thick pile of paper is full of his people, and if it is registered in the Chamber of Commerce, the amount of human fat and ointment he has collected over the years is enough for him to be beheaded. Xue Gao looked at the pieces of paper with a gloomy face, and all the records on the paper were the mistakes of King Huai.

Leng Yun asked in Xue Gao's ear: "Lord Wang, now that we already know, what are you going to do next?" This matter is related to Lord Wang, and although King Huai's current power is not very strong, it is enough to make everyone jealous. ”

Now don't talk about Xue Gao, even the emperor's foundation is a little unstable, and there is the queen mother behind who wants to meddle in the open and secretly, Leng Yun doesn't want Xue Gao to be targeted by King Huai because of this matter, and become a thorn in King Huai's side and a thorn in the flesh.

Xue Gao's hand tapped lightly on the table, and he was thinking about what to do with this matter in the future.

"You make a copy of these things, and then send them to the imperial brother in a secret mail, and see how the imperial brother decides. After Xue Gao thought about it, he looked up at Leng Yun and said.

Leng Yun nodded in understanding.

The connection between Xue Gao and the emperor did not use ordinary letters, but used their own carrier pigeons, which could directly send the letters to the palace for them, without going through the hands of so many people, so as not to be intercepted on the way.

And the carrier pigeon delivery is also much faster than the direct delivery of the letter by people, and it can be delivered to the capital in less than half a month.

"The prince will definitely cause an uproar when he sends this letter back to the capital, and his subordinates will continue to investigate this matter to see if they are involved with others, and maybe they can find King Huai's accomplices, but it is not known. Leng Yun arched his hand and told Xue Gao what he had said.
