At this time, Ji Chang and all the courtiers in the royal court were already suspicious of the three major families of Longyou, and the general Nangong stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, the three major families of Longyou dare to collude with Xirong, the crime is unforgivable, and please give an order to exterminate them as soon as possible." ”

Ji Chang was about to speak, but Doctor San Yisheng preemptively said: "Lord, such a big treason case is not more leisurely, but it should not be too hasty, so as not to be true." The three major families colluded with Xirong, although there is physical evidence of the second prince, but it is also indispensable to interrogate, it is best to obtain their confessions, and then it is not too late to deal with them. ”

When Ji Fa heard this, he seemed to be dissatisfied, and glanced at San Yisheng, but saw that San Yisheng looked like an old god was there, and he didn't even look at him from the corner of his eye, and opened his mouth, but after all, he had nothing to say.

When Ji Chang heard this, his expression moved, and he nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, the doctor is reasonable, such things should be confronted face to face, so that the other party has nothing to say." Come on, go and bring the people of the four major families to the temple. ”

Doctor Mao then answered yes, and then went away, and after a while, he had already walked up with four people, who were the four heads of Longyou City.

The three masters obviously didn't know that it was a home-guest transposition now, and they all seemed a little depressed and excited, after all, the fall of the Liu family would also have real benefits for them. The city of Longyou is still rich, and the interests in the city, the three families are naturally much stronger than the four families.

It's just that the head of the Liu family seems to be a little silent, different from the previous frustration, more like suppressing a wave of anger.

Everyone saluted Ji Chang, but Ji Chang did not show his face, but patted the account book on his hand and said: "Heads of the family, come and see, this account book in the hands of this king is from your clan?"

The four heads of the family were all stunned, and they all stepped forward to take over the account book, looked at it roughly, and said in unison: "Back to the prince, this account book is the account book of this year in our clan, I don't know why it came into the hands of the prince?"

Ji Chang said lightly: "Since it's right, it's the best." Let's not talk about how this king got this account book, but you are still making money. ”

The head of the Liu family bowed his head and was silent, and the heads of the other three families looked at each other strangely, the world said that Ji Chang loved the people like a son, and now it seems that it seems that it is the income of each family, and he wants to rip off the bamboo?

The head of the Shi family was the most clever, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "These are just the hard-earned gains of our clan, and I have to thank the prince for guarding Xiqi, so that we can live and work in peace and contentment, so that we can have such benefits." This time, the grass people came to Xiqi, saw the soldiers in the royal court, admired it, and were willing to donate 300,000 yuan for military expenses, and asked the prince to smile. ”

When the Cui family and the head of the Su family heard this, they also reacted immediately, and said one after another: "What the master of the Shi family said is also what we think, and we are also willing to donate 300,000 yuan to help my Xiqi military power become stronger." ”

Ji Chang smiled faintly when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "The three family heads have misunderstood, the soldiers of Xiqi City, this king can still afford to raise them, and they don't need the people's money to help." It's just that the way of doing business of the three of them makes the king a little admired and wants to ask for advice or two. ”

When the three of them heard this, they were even more puzzled in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to do so.

Ji Chang paused and continued: "Master Shi, this king will first ask you, how did you sell the salt and tea that did not exceed ten yuan for dozens of yuan?"

The master of the Shi family was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The prince doesn't know, the salt and tea produced in the Central Plains are originally extremely easy to sell in Xirong, people can only have strength by eating salt, and drinking tea can boost their spirits, which are indispensable things for life, and the price will be slightly higher if they are sold." ”

Ji Changpi said with a smile: "Slightly higher? The master of the Shi family is really modest." ”

The master of the Shi family was a little proud in his heart, and he didn't know what Ji Chang meant, so he hurriedly said a few words modestly, but he heard the general Xin Fu in the group say coldly: "Hmph, the master of the Shi family really has a good calculation, and he uses salt and tea to raise the Xirong people with strength and spirit, and I don't know what his intentions are?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at the Shi family master a little weird, and the Shi family master was shocked, but this was a little heartbroken, and he intended to distinguish a few words, but he was short of words for a while, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Ji Chang didn't look at the already ugly face of the Shi family master, and said to the Cui family master: "Cui family master, your iron business is not bad, and the iron tools that are less than 100 yuan can be sold for six or seven hundred yuan, which also makes ordinary businessmen embarrassed." ”

The head of the Cui family already felt that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly explained: "Back to the prince, the craftsmen in the villain's mansion are quite skilled, and the ironware they create is also quite trustworthy, so they will be quite popular in Xirong, so they can be sold at a high price." ”

After saying this, General Ji Boda interjected: "I don't know how the blades and arrows made by the craftsmen of the Cui family are? Are they also trustworthy? It's just that the head of the Cui family only makes money, but these things, I'm afraid they will have to be tested on my Xiqi soldiers." ”

When the head of the Cui family heard this, he was even more shocked, secretly creating some blades to sell, the profit was more than ten times that of making ordinary iron, and he naturally did it many times, but he was also extremely cautious about selling blades to the outside world, of course, it would not be recorded in the account books of the clan. It's just that at this time, he was suddenly mentioned by Ji Boda, and he didn't know if the other party had another source, so he didn't dare to exclaim, but he didn't dare to explain too much.

Seeing Ji Chang's eyes turn to himself, the head of the Su family took the lead in speaking: "Lord Wang, the grass people just bought some horses, cattle and sheep from Xirong to sell, although the price is lower, it is harmless, and I also ask the prince to learn about it." ”

At this time, a leisurely voice came from the side: "Harmless? Xijon has nothing to do except horses, cattle and sheep." If you don't have your hostel to buy it, where will they get the money to buy salt, tea, and iron?"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and they were all taken aback, because this person was none other than the fourth prince Ji Dan. At this time, he actually spoke out to help Ji Fa, which really made everyone scratch their heads. Ji Fa also looked at Ji Dan with a look of surprise, but saw that Ji Dan smiled faintly at him, and he didn't say much.

Seeing that the situation was even worse, the three heads of the family knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed to Ji Chang and said: "Lord Wang, we are all people of Xiqi, we have always been law-abiding, and we are doing some ordinary business with the Xirong people. ”

"That's enough!" Ji Chang was no longer as kind as he used to be at this time, and said coldly: "The Xirong people spend a lot of wealth every year to support you and others, and the plan is naturally not small. This king advises you to calmly admit it, thinking that the evil of you and others has not caused any irreparable results, and can still save the life of the heir, if you do prevarication again, is it not that your sword as this king is not sharp enough?"

As soon as his words fell, the general Nangong had already pulled out his long knife, walked in front of the three of them, and the mighty aura of his body had already come from the pavement, and said with a cruel smile: "This general is the sword of the prince, do the three generals think it is beneficial?"

The three heads of the family were taken by Nangong's evil qi, and suddenly their hearts and galls were broken, and they sat down on the ground and said, "The prince spares his life, the general spares his life, and I am willing to recruit." ”
