"What does this mean, it's corruption if you don't take money?" Yang Xingkang asked

"Yes, what the "Xiliang Statute" wants to ensure is the interests of the country, not personal feelings, and the so-called innocence of those who do not know is the idea of ignorant people, and those who commit crimes are based on the fact that I don't know I don't understand the law, so what will the world be like in chaos?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"But I'm not a big person, as long as I don't kill people and set fires, don't I do things that hurt heaven and reason?" Yang Xingkang said.

"You violated the relevant provisions of the "Xiliang Statute" before, selling private fireworks and tea, you think this is harmless, anyway, it is a business, you make a hard money, and the people just want to save a few dollars. Right? Yun Xiangrong said.

"Yes. Because it was sold secretly, I really didn't make much money, and after paying the fine, I was just working in vain, and I lost money. Yang Xingkang said.

"Do you know why the state has to regulate tea?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"I read the notice said that it was to create tax revenue." Yang Xingkang said.

"Yes, this is the main reason, the country does not have taxes, the entire government agency can not function, the final bearer of any tax is the people, the income from tea will be deducted from the tax, so that every citizen will pay less tax. Your actions have threatened the interests of the country, so accept punishment. Yun Xiangrong said.

"I knew that I had done something wrong, selling illicit tea, I felt bad at the time, so I didn't want to do anything with the court." Yang Xingkang said

"Then do you know why the state has to regulate fireworks?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with taxes." Yang Xingkang said.

"Yes, but it is not the main reason for the imperial court to control fireworks, the main reason for controlling the production of fireworks is for safety, small workshops make fireworks for profiteering, they will make them in private houses in order to escape the control of the imperial court and reduce costs, so that once there is an explosion, the injured must be ordinary people. And your sale of smuggled fireworks is to help the abuse. Yun Xiangrong said.

"But the official direct store sells it so expensive, I can't afford to set off fireworks during the New Year." Yang Xingkang said.

"That's one of the reasons you want to sell privately made fireworks, right?" Yun Xiangrong said.

Yang Xingkang nodded.

"As far as I know, on the first and fifteenth day of the first month of the first month of the year in Beijing, there are two large-scale fireworks displays, and they are all free, isn't it just for the people to watch fireworks during the New Year? From a certain point of view, fireworks are a luxury, and they will be gone, and rich people are willing to buy them, which is good, and they will pay more taxes to reduce the burden on the people. If you want to achieve fireworks freedom, then make more money and become rich. Yun Xiangrong said.

"There are only two fireworks festivals in the capital, every day of the first month of the first month, just in the horse farm of the second prince, there will be people chartering fireworks every day, and the people want to see it, but no one stops them, and they are all open to the outside world." Jiang Yaoyao said.

"But don't many people want to play by themselves?" Yang Xingkang said.

"I understand what you mean, but now that our dynasty has defined fireworks as a luxury item, you are worried about the country and the people and selling private fireworks, is this necessary? With these inexplicable thoughts, it's better to live your life first. But Yang Yuanwai, I have always been very puzzled, you are the eldest brother of the little grandfather, but you have to come to the capital to endure hardships in your hometown, what are you trying to do? Yun Xiangrong asked.

"I want everyone to know that I am a capable person, and not rely on my sister's identity to eat and drink." Yang Xingkang said.

"You are already very capable, you were born in a wealthy family, you don't need to run around for food every day, and you don't need to take on too many responsibilities, and the family is still harmonious." Yun Xiangrong said.

"What is this, it is too different from the children in the capital." Yang Xingkang said.

"Do you think that the princes and nobles in the capital are all alive and happy?" Yun Xiangrong said.

Yang Xingkang nodded.

"Okay, I don't want you to be an outsider, let's talk thoroughly today, I have been educated, and I am not allowed to slander others in private. Now I'm going to say my eldest sister in front of my eldest sister, so you can also know if I'm talking nonsense. Yun Xiangrong said.

Yang Xingkang nodded, Jiang Yaoyao was very curious, what Yun Xiangrong looked like in his eyes.

"My eldest sister, Jiang Yaoyao, the concubine of Changping Houfu, seems to be born with a golden soup spoon in her mouth, and the structure of the family is simple, and she has never experienced house fights since she was a child. But from the day he was born, he pinned on the expectations of the family, learning honorifics at the age of one, sitting at the age of two, standing at the age of three, and Mr. Enlightenment at the age of four. Yun Xiangrong said.

"No, it's a three-year-old, please, and a four-year-old officially starts class." Jiang Yaoyao added.

"Six-year-old into the women's private school, is the youngest student, young can not hold a brush, writing is unstable, in order to satisfy the husband, every day home to practice hard, now the right hand knuckle has a callus left when practicing calligraphy." Yun Xiangrong said.

"It's all okay, at least it's okay to work hard, the key is that I just entered a private school, and everyone was talking behind my back, saying that my mother was from a low background and couldn't make good children, and I really wanted to beat them at that time. Later, through my own efforts, I ranked in the top three in my coursework, and I think it is the best response to them. Jiang Yaoyao said.

Yang Xingkang knew that the two of them were telling the truth, and he sighed in his heart, complaining that he couldn't get into the exam, not to mention that the gentleman who invited him was not capable, that is, he didn't have a six-year-old child's hard work.

"I learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child, and I learned housekeeping with the palace steward, learning and the like, I won't say it, let's sum it up, it's not from the Hou Mansion, there is no need for children to work so hard since they were young. The eldest sister's marriage that year was also full of wind and rain. Yang Yuanwai, if you have a daughter, will you let him marry the second prince or marry into the Fuguo Mansion as a flat wife? Yun Xiangrong said.

"That must be the second imperial concubine." Yang Xingkang didn't think about it, so he said.

"Then my eldest sister is not facing the current thing, and the whole house is not facing the current thing, to put it simply, if you want to enjoy more, you have to bear more. That's why the eldest sister will marry into the Fuguo Mansion. Yun Xiangrong said.

"I don't really understand." Yang Xingkang said.

"My sister-in-law saves me face, to put it bluntly, my ability is not enough to be the second princess, in fact, it is the same reason as you in the capital, and it will be more comfortable to take a step back." Jiang Yaoyao said.

Jiang Yaoyao finally understood Yun Xiangrong's purpose, Yang Xingkang is a **, buried in the capital may be detonated at any time, persuading him to return to his hometown is the safest way, but this person is dead-eyed, you have to explain the truth thoroughly to him to understand.

"Okay, then I'll take you as an example, if you are not a relative of the Fuguo Mansion, Qiao Niang will not take a fancy to you, you feel that you have never told anyone that you are a relative of the Auxiliary Mansion, let alone do things under the banner of the Auxiliary Mansion, but your existence has given others a chance, you don't want to provoke anyone, but someone will worry about you." Yun Xiangrong said.

As he spoke, Yun Xiangrong saw Jiang Qingchen and a man in official uniform walking in together.

"Big brother, Master Li." Jiang Yaoyao said. She didn't figure out how the eldest brother and Lord Yin Li of Jingzhao Mansion came.

Jiang Qingchen was also surprised at first that Yun Xiangrong would ask him to send someone to the Fuguo Mansion and bring someone from Jingzhao Mansion Yin, but he didn't think much about it, he knew that Yun Xiangrong was a measured person. Out of curiosity, I went out myself.

"Princess Rong, this is Lord Yin Li of Jingzhao Mansion, Lord Li, this is Princess Rong." Jiang Qingchen said very formally.

Master Li is already mentally prepared to let the Admiral of the Nine Gates come to invite people, and he is definitely not a small person.

When you see the princess, you must bow down.

"Lord Li, you're welcome, please take a seat, today is not a formal occasion, please come over, there are a few things to ask clearly." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Princess, excuse me." Master Li said politely.

Jiang Qingchen and Master Li both found a place to take a seat.

Yang Xingkang was stunned, he was really stunned, what was going on, he had been talking to himself for a long time just now, such an easy-to-respect woman was actually a princess. This world is too mysterious. Should I make up the number of courtesies? Before he could think about it, Yun Xiangrong had already begun to speak.

"I heard that a few days ago, because of the Oiran Hua Lili, Zhong Jingliu, the second son of Dingyuan Houfu, and Gu Zhirui, the youngest son of the Ministry of Shangshu, had a fight, I don't know why?" Yun Xiangrong looked at Master Li and said.

"Back to the princess, the lower officials have checked, it is the second son Zhong Jingliu who is destined to be waiting for a long time has taken a fancy to Hua Lili, and discussed with the old bustard to redeem her, and the negotiated is 6,000 taels of silver, Hua Lili pretended to agree, and asked Tao Gongzi for help, and gave Tao Gongzi 8,000 taels of silver, so that he could help. There are two people who want to redeem her, and they must bid openly, but who knew that another son appeared that day, and he paid 10,000 taels of silver to help Hua Lili redeem herself, Zhong Gongzi heard others say that the person and Gu Gongzi were in the same group, and they felt that they were being tricked, so they would hurt people. Master Li said.

Yang Xingkang was stunned, this was completely different from what he knew, but how could Yin of Jingzhao Mansion deceive the princess.

"Then Gu Gongzi really went with a helper?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"Gu Gongzi said that he didn't know the son who helped Hua Lili redeem himself, and he was also very anxious at the time, because he had promised Hua Lili that he would help, but Hua Lili only gave eight thousand taels of silver, and he was very embarrassed if he didn't help." Master Li said.

"Didn't you continue to investigate?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"Some people say that the person who helped Hua Lili redeem her body is called Yang Xingkang, who is the eldest brother of the Fuguo Mansion, I was going to ask for a confession, but Dingyuan Hou and Gu Shangshu both wanted me to close the case immediately, and they didn't pursue anything, so this matter is like this." Master Li said.

Master Li didn't know Yang Xingkang. He thought that the man in the house was from the Fuguo Mansion.

"Do you know what kind of background Hua Lili is?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"Checked, came to the capital a year ago, is a native of Yangzhou, strictly said that she is not a prostitute, she was sold as a thin horse when she was a child, and later married as an adult, but the life of the person she married was short, and she was kicked out of the house, Gu Gongzi knew her dead Lang Jun, and felt that she was pitiful, so she agreed to help. She and the old bustard of Baihualou met many years ago, when she was still a thin horse, and she wanted to eat so she came to the capital to join the bustard as a prostitute. The old bustard of Baihualou admitted that the two were in a cooperative relationship, and Hua Lili would share 10% of the value of her ransom, but before the money was obtained, no one could find it. Master Li said.

"Are there any sisters in this Hua Lili's family?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"The old bustard said that she was the eldest and had a younger brother in the family, and it was to let her brother live that she was sold to make a skinny horse, so she has always held a grudge and has long stopped contacting her family." Master Li said.
