Ruan Guanqi returned to the mansion and went straight to Ruan Jingxin's residence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Daddy, why did you come so early today?" Ruan Jingxin didn't go out these days. Since she put on an official posture two days ago, the three aunts have all stopped in the past few days, and they don't walk around, they just stay quietly in their own yards, and the house feels quiet all of a sudden.

Ruan Guanqi's face was a little tired, "Naturally, I want to accompany you." Are you still used to these days in Yangzhou?"

"Daddy, if you have something to say, just say it. Ruan Jingxin looked at her father with a smile.

Ruan Guanqi glanced at Ruan Jingxin with disgust, "You girl, the bigger you are, the more uncute you are!" he pretended to sigh, and then said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong, although the prince of Dingxi sent someone to tell me that day, but he is still not at ease as a father." You're a woman. ”

"Daddy, who is chewing on the root of the tongue again?" Ruan Jingxin raised her eyebrows, "It seems that some people don't believe that my board can hit people." ”

Ruan Guanqi was a little weak-hearted, "It's not that anyone said it, it's just that I, as a father, must give you a reminder!"

"Rest assured, father, I did go out that night to do something big. Don't worry, the decision should be settled soon. Ruan Jingxin counted the days, and His Majesty's will will arrive in a few days.

"Can't you just sell Guanzi?" Ruan Guanqi was angry and funny, "You still play with your father? You have not been an official for a few days, but you have understood a lot of the ways of being an official!"

Ruan Jingxin shook her head with a smile, "Daddy, there is no conclusion on this matter, and it is indeed inconvenient for me to say." But I can tell you for sure, it's good for you. Your salt tax will soon be collected. ”

"I've done pretty much the same!" Ruan Guanqi has not been messing around in Yangzhou for so long, so he has naturally done a lot of work.

"Yes, we all know this!" Ruan Jingxin affirmed, "But Daddy, you also want to solve this matter quickly, don't you? ”

When Ruan Guanqi heard this, he was really happy, "This is excellent! Actually, I don't want to spend time on this matter every day." If this matter can be resolved, I can also go back to Beijing comfortably for the New Year!"

"Exactly, daddy, don't worry, it's in the past two days. You might as well take a break these days, and no matter who asks to see you, you will put it off. After something happens a few days later, all you have to do is put your posture high, and naturally someone will rush to pay the salt tax. ”

Dongfang Xu, Ruan Guanqi, including Ruan Jingxin, suddenly began to disappear from anyone. This has made many people with a keen sense of smell discover a lot of clues.

After thinking about it for a while, the Zhou family was the first to go to the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division to ask for the full amount of the salt tax! Old Lady Yan and Yan Yuheng were also shrewd, and after getting the news, they immediately followed the trend to pay the salt tax. At this time, two of the four major salt merchant giants actually paid the salt tax, and it was in full.

Just when many people were watching, there was a second-rate family that took the initiative to pay the salt tax, and then a small number of people felt that something abnormal must be a demon, and it was safer to pay. Others are mostly waiting for the attitude of the Wang family and the Li family, anyway, there are big names on it, they just need to wait.

Whoever arrived was on the third day after paying the salt tax at Zhou's house, and the officers in the nearby battalion went to Yangzhou with the holy decree. After they saw Dongfang Xu, they followed him to besiege the Li Mansion first, and then sealed the mine and the factory for making weapons.

The Li family is going to rebel, and the rest of the family feel a little unconvinced. But the news that came out was conclusive, and no one could refute it. All of a sudden, everyone panicked!

Rebellion, that's a great crime to punish the nine clans! Marriages between these salt merchants are frequent, and almost anyone can have a relationship with anyone, and as for whether they are not among the nine clans, they still need to be counted with their fingers. It doesn't matter, it involves a lot of families. For a time, everyone was in danger.

It is not that no one doubts that this is a sin of desire. After all, the arrogant appearance of the head of the Li family in front of the prince of Dingxi was seen by many people. But when I guessed it, I felt that things were even more terrifying.

"This is the imperial court to kill chickens and monkeys!" many people thought. What should I do then? This salt tax has to be paid! I was able to resist it before because Ruan Guanqi was a newcomer, and I dragged him if he could delay time. And the salt merchants are more united, as long as they control the salt market, they are still worried about the officials?

But now this situation is different, this is the rhythm of whoever disagrees! And this is still a big fat sheep who was cut first!

"Miss, the Li family has been raided!" Xiangbo came back to report the first-hand news. "I heard that there are mountains of gold and silver hidden in the house!"

Ruan Jingxin could imagine the salt merchant's wealth, but she didn't care about that. "Getting to the point!"

"Oh oh oh!" Xiang Bo nodded, "It's just a copy of a full family of men, and the underage and the female dependents are all sent into slavery." ”

It's just a full door, Ruan Jingxin nodded, and she thought about it herself. Yangzhou wants to move, but if too many people are involved, I am afraid that it will end badly in the end.

"Where's my father, are you back?" Ruan Jingxin guessed that her father must be in a good mood now. In the past, he was deliberately trying to collect the salt tax, but now it depends on whether he has the time and mood to collect it.

"The master hasn't come back!" Seocho shook her head, "I won't be back for lunch tonight." ”

Ruan Jingxin nodded and let Seocho and Xiangbo go down to rest, but she closed her eyes and thought about the emperor's intentions.

Dongfang Xu must have reported to the emperor about this privately made weapon. And this weapon is for someone in the capital.

It is said that the emperor should have wanted to hang this person out, and how could he allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch? However, he hurriedly dealt with all the people here, and the capital had no intention of finding this person at all.

Could it be that His Majesty still doesn't want to touch his son? Or who this person is, the emperor already knows in his heart. But don't want to break out of this scandal?

No emperor could receive such information and calmly ignore it. Ruan Jingxin firmly believes that there is a problem in the capital. Either someone made a move, or the emperor was jealous of this person, and even if there was evidence, he didn't dare to act rashly!

She can be sure that the master of the Li family must be Dongfang Huayuan, but when she was leaving, Dongfang Huayuan was still not doing well! It has only been half a month, could it be that Dongfang Huayuan has any opportunity? The previous emperor was also unwell at this time, could it be that the emperor of this generation still fell for Dongfang Huayuan's trick?
