In fact, the West Factory is not short of money now, after killing Wang Dengku, Hu Jiucheng in accordance with Ye Xun's instructions, the previous Wang family's north and south trade routes were all taken into his own hands, especially after the West Factory was reopened, but in the name of the West Factory, it was blatantly transported from the south to the north, and the north goods were sold to the south, so as to earn the price difference.

But Ye Xun couldn't hand over this trade route, because not only the West Factory, but also Liaodong needed more silver, and it was not enough to rely entirely on the silver taels allocated by the imperial court.

This time, Ye Xun took the opportunity to raise money for the household department, and was ready to put his hand into the seaborne trade.

The business of the official's family is already an open secret in the officialdom, otherwise only relying on the little money of the imperial court, how to raise a concubine and how to spend time outside? Moreover, as a Beijing official, there are many scenes to usher in, and without these additional inputs, the officials will not be able to survive at all.

But after all, there are only a few people who can access maritime transportation, but these few are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the imperial court and even relatives of the emperor, otherwise ordinary officials have so much courage and energy?

A seemingly simple plan to scare the grass and scare the snake, but it really makes many people unable to sit still, this is probably what people often say about being a thief! At the same time, they were really scared of Ye Xun, the celebrity in front of the emperor, but these people didn't dare to come to Ye Xun, but went to the British public Zhang Weixian first.

In fact, Zhang Weixian's family also participated in the maritime trade, but the old guy's ears were more sensitive, and he actually knew about the lack of money in the imperial court, and the emperor also discussed with Ye Xun, and then the news came out, so his intuition told him that this must be a trick played by Ye Xun.

The next day, before Ye Xun could go out, Zhang Weixian's post inviting him to a banquet was delivered.

After Zhang Weixian threw a big package to Ye Xun before, he rarely had any more contact with Ye Xun, after all, the crown prince had succeeded to the throne, and he had too much contact with an internal eunuch like Ye Xun.

Holding Zhang Weixian's invitation, Ye Xun couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that it was this old guy who jumped out first.

To say that Ye Xun really has evidence in his hands that several officials in Jiangnan are involved in maritime smuggling, because Ye Xun has been concerned about this matter for more than a day or two.

Because it was not yet time to start, he had been pressed by Ye Xun in his hands, even this time, Ye Xun just wanted to take out one or two to deter those people.

Zhang Weixian's time for hospitality was in the evening, and Ye Xun first went to Zhu Changluo to stand at the post, and then transferred to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao still lives in Yingxi Palace, Ye Xun often goes in and out, and no one needs to be informed, so he nodded to the guards outside and walked in directly.

Before he could enter the door, he was almost pushed out by a gust of incense, and then he saw Keshi twisting his body and walking out of it.

Ye Xun hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Madame"

In fact, he really wanted to call his sister-in-law, but it seemed that his relationship with Wei Chao was not so good, and according to his estimate, this woman should have hooked up with Wei Zhongxian, in that case, he couldn't be called sister-in-law.

"Yo! Isn't this Ye Gonggong? It's early enough today! I just wanted to tell you, our dead ghost is going to invite you to drink, how about tonight? ”

While speaking, the Ke family leaned his plump body towards Ye Xun, his eyes were like silk, and when he looked at Ye Xun, it was like looking at a prey that had reached his mouth.

Ye Xun hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "I'm sorry Madam, I still have something to do at night, so I won't accompany me."

After that, he bypassed the Hakka family and walked directly inside, his expression was like hiding a pile of dung.

Seeing Ye Xun despise himself so much, Ke's face suddenly sank, two terrifying rays of light shot out of his cold eyes, he snorted lightly, and then turned around and walked out.

When he turned around, Ye Xun's face also sank, this woman is getting more and more excessive, sometimes I really want to get rid of her, but now is not the time, how can I help Wei Zhongxian to the position.

In the courtyard, Zhu Youjiao is tinkering with a model of a house, although the model is small, the doors and windows are complete, and the carved beams and paintings are also very exquisite.

Ye Xun had to admire, it's really a pity that this kid is not a carpenter.

seemed to sense that there was someone behind him, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and saw that it was Ye Xun, and couldn't help laughing: "When can I walk as light as you, so that no matter how I hide there, no one will find me."

Ye Xun didn't understand why Zhu Youxiao liked to hide so much, thinking it should be related to his gloomy childhood.

smiled: "Martial arts, broad and profound, as long as you practice diligently, you will definitely be stronger than me"

"Hmmm! I know, by the way, did my father tell you that he wanted you to be my concubine? ”

Ye Xun was taken aback, he knew best how many catties he had, and he taught Zhu Youxiao how to strengthen his body, and he was a master! Are you kidding?

Seeing that Ye Xun's expression was different, Zhu Youxiao's expression was also a little unnatural, and said, "Why don't you want to?" ”

Ye Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how much ability does the slave know by himself, how dare he be the prince's master?" Moreover, the crown prince is the prince of the country, and his words and deeds are related to the national system, even if the slaves agree, those ministers in the court will not agree! ”

Hearing Ye Xun say this, Zhu Youxiao was relieved: "It turns out that you are afraid of those old guys, but in fact, I am quite annoyed by them."

After a pause, he said, "Ye Xun, if, if I do something bad one day, will you blame me?" ”

What's wrong with this kid today? Why is it so strange to speak.

Shaking his head, he said: "The slave is the prince's domestic slave, even if the slave is to die, the slave will never hesitate, His Royal Highness the prince can rest assured"

Don't worry, my own heart is a little bit uneasy, if you want to kill me, you'd better explain your future first.

Zhu Youxiao said happily: "Really? There's something about that, can you do it for me? ”

"The prince, please command, the slave will do it"

"Okay, I hate that old woman Zheng Guifei, can you let her die without knowing it?"

Listening to what Zhu Youxiao asked him to do, Ye Xun suddenly had 10,000 grass and mud horses running over in his heart, what is this kid going to kill Concubine Zheng! It's clear that you're testing me, but you kid hasn't become an emperor yet, why are you tempting me?

Facing Zhu Youxiao's bottomless eyes, Ye Xun said slowly: "Please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter, the slave will forgive her fate, because her life and death should be decided by Your Majesty."

"Haha... You're serious, I'm talking about playing! I'm not practicing martial arts today, it's still early, I want to go out for a walk"

In an instant, Zhu Youxiao turned back into the scheming teenager again, and there was no unhappiness on his face because of Ye Xun's rejection, as if the person who spoke just now was not him.

Zhu Youxiao seems to be fine, but Ye Xun's heart can't calm down anymore, what does this kid want to do? ...
