Chapter 560: Four or Two Thousand Pounds

"Xianggong, Chen Guangzong has already come." When Chen Guangzong entered the ordinary house in the south of the city, Lei Ting, who was in the black military uniform of the Wutang in the first trial, pushed open the door and entered Li Yuntian's study, and said with a smile to Li Yuntian, who was reviewing the Jiangnan official documents of the Wutang.

"He should also come, we have dragged him here for so long, how can he have the heart to stay in Nanjing City?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, put down the official document in his hand and said.

In the eyes of the outside world, Li Yuntian was just a tour of the mountains and rivers after coming to Yangzhou, which seemed to be a bit unprofessional, but no one except the people of the Salt Merchants Association knew that his appearance in Yangzhou had put huge pressure on the Salt Merchants Association, so that they did not dare to act rashly.

Li Yuntian knows very well that if he wants to win the corruption of the two Huai Salt Roads, there must be conclusive and detailed evidence, and this evidence is the private salt that the salt merchants will transport to various places every year under the banner of official salt.

Therefore, Li Yuntian did not care about how many salt merchants who smuggled smuggled salt could be found, but aimed at the illegal salt that was transported to various places once a year, which was the key to the Lianghuai Salt Road corruption case, and it was also the most distressing place for the Salt Merchants Association now.

As far as Li Yuntian knows, the salt merchants' association transports at least twice as much private salt as the official salt every year, which means that once those illegal salts cannot be transported, there will be a salt shortage in 13 provinces, including Huguang and Shanxi, next year, and the emergence of the salt shortage will expose the matter of the salt merchants' association transporting illegal salt, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In fact, in addition to the illegal salt transported by the Salt Merchants' Association, the illegal salt transported by the salt lords who colluded with the salt merchants of the Salt Merchants Association was also affected, and they were not transported this year.

This is not because the salt barons are afraid of Li Yuntian, but because the salt ambassadors of the salt works dare not release the salt again, in case those salt barons hit Li Yuntian's muzzle, then they will be unlucky, which will invisibly aggravate the salt shortage.

Therefore, Li Yuntian seemed to have achieved nothing in Yangzhou, but in fact, he was throwing thousands of pounds in four or two, and he easily forced those salt merchants of the Salt Merchants Association to the edge of the cliff.

"Xianggong, what do you think they will do next?" Lei Ting came to Li Yuntian's side with a smile and asked with interest, she wanted to see if Li Yuntian could guess the next plan of Chen Guangzong and the others.

"August 15 of this year is the triennial Oiran Conference in Jiangnan, and this is a good opportunity for them to place people next to the prime minister, and they will definitely make a fuss in this regard." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment, stretched out his hand and took Lei Ting into his arms, and smiled and let Lei Ting sit on his lap.

"They're going to make a beauty trick!" Lei Ting nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, she grew up in Huai'an since she was a child, and naturally knew about the famous Jiangnan Oiran Conference, and at that time, the entire famous Qinglou in Jiangnan would send carefully cultivated Qingqi to come to the meeting to determine the Oiran Conference.

Even if they lose in the Oiran Tournament, those who are not elected will become famous for participating in the Oiran Tournament, and will be favored by the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who attend the Oiran Tournament, and their value will be doubled.

Lei Ting has heard that those Qingqi who participated in the Oiran Conference were not only born with sinking fish and geese, and shy flowers in the closed moon, but also proficient in poetry and songs, and it is not an exaggeration to call them talented women.

"The beauty plan is not good for Xianggong, there are already so many beauties around Xianggong, and no matter how beautiful the beauty is, she is a vulgar fan in front of Xianggong." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, reached out and gently scraped the tip of Lei Ting's nose.

"If it weren't for me and the fourth sister watching you here, I don't know how many warblers and Yanyan you, the merry marquis, would find in Yangzhou." Hearing Li Yuntian call the Qing Qi of the Oiran Conference a vulgar fan, Lei Ting snorted and laughed, leaned her head on Li Yuntian's shoulder and quipped, the fourth sister in her mouth naturally refers to Zheng Wanrou.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, even if you are not in the prime minister's office, you will not mess with flowers." Li Yuntian's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said seriously, then picked up Lei Ting and walked to the couch on the side, and said with a smile, "Now that Lian Xiang and Wenqing are pregnant, shouldn't you also give birth to a child for Xianggong." ”

"Xianggong, it's daytime." Lei Ting's face turned red with shame in an instant, and she said coquettishly, looking a little embarrassed.

"What are you afraid of, Emperor Lao Tzu can't control our Dunlun ceremony, and besides, no one will pass on who dares to enter the Xianggong's study?" Li Yuntian saw that Lei Ting, whose cheeks were crimson, had a different charm, and for a while he was a little uneasy, and said anxiously as he walked quickly to the bed.

Hearing this, Lei Ting was so ashamed that her neck was flushed, and she pressed her cheek tightly against Li Yuntian's chest and stopped talking.

"Brother Li, I heard that the Qingqi who participated in this year's Oiran Conference will go to the temple to make incense and make wishes in two days, so let's go and see the hot ......."

When Li Yuntian put Lei Ting on the couch and was unbuttoning her blouse with a smile, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and Zhao Xinyue walked in excitedly.

"I'm going to see Sister Xinyue." Seeing this situation, Lei Ting pushed Li Yuntian away with a smile, and left quickly after tidying up her clothes, and was so disturbed by Zhao Xinyue that she lost any interest.

Li Yuntian lay on the couch with a depressed face, his hands behind his head and looking at the ceiling, no matter what, he never imagined that Zhao Xinyue would break in and ruin his good deeds.

"Maybe it's a good opportunity." Then, Li Yuntian remembered what Zhao Xinyue had just said that those Qingmen were going to enter the temple to make a wish, so he pondered for a while and nodded slightly,

Two days later, Li Yuntian changed into civilian clothes, and led Lei Ting and Zhao Xinyue, who were disguised as men, to the famous Baihua Temple in Yangzhou City, and more than a dozen guards followed quietly to protect the three of them.

According to the tradition of the Oiran Tournament in Gangnam, every year those Qingqi who come from all over the Gangnam will come to Baihua Temple to pray in the hope of making a splash at the Oiran Tournament.

Therefore, many people in Yangzhou City waited at the gate of Baihua Temple early in the morning, wanting to see the outstanding figure of those who are both beautiful and artistic.

Li Yuntian, Lei Ting, and Zhao Xinyue went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, where they donated a lot of incense oil money after making a wish, and then wandered around the temple to admire this ancient temple built in the Tang Dynasty, which has many Tang Dynasty buildings and Buddha statues.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Just as the three of them walked out of a side hall, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of Baihua Temple.

"Let's go, let's see the excitement." Seeing this, Li Yuntian knew that those Qingqi who came to make a wish were coming, so he smiled and said a word to Lei Ting and Zhao Xinyue beside him, and led the two of them to walk quickly to the Daxiong Treasure Hall and stood next to the passage in front of the hall.

At this time, both sides of the passage in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall were already full of people who came to see the excitement, and they stretched out their heads one by one to look at the courtyard gate.

In order to ensure the safety of Li Yuntian, Lei Ting, and Zhao Xinyue, the dozen or so guards quietly gathered around the three of them, separating them from the crowd on the side.

"Big brother, do you think there will be a Qingqi who will give us the peace charm they asked for?" Zhao Xinyue stood on tiptoe and looked at the gate, and asked Li Yuntian who was standing there thinking about his thoughts with great interest.

It is a very auspicious thing to send the peace charms that you will ask for from the temple after praying for a good omen.

Moreover, those destined people who get the peace charm can eat, drink and have fun for seven days for free in the Qinglou to which they belong, which makes the peace charm very sought-after, and many people are coming for the peace charm.

"Everything is fateful." Li Yuntian was thinking about how to get close to those Qingqi, and when he heard this, he smiled slightly and said disappreciatively.

Although Li Yuntian didn't know how Chen Guangzong would use this Jiangnan Oiran Conference to get close to him, in his opinion, it was nothing more than giving the Oiran of this Oiran Conference to himself.

In this way, Chen Guangzong has to do one thing, that is, to determine which of those Qingqi Li Yuntian likes, and then he can promote him as the Oiran, otherwise it will undoubtedly be half the effort to choose a Qingqi that Li Yuntian does not like as the Oiran, and it will be out of place.

Since this is the case, then Li Yuntian took the initiative to send it to the door, and chose one of those Qingqi as the person he was interested in, deliberately leaving an opportunity for Chen Guangzong to take advantage of.

It's just that how to choose someone from those Qingqi without making Chen Guangzong suspicious has become a problem for Li Yuntian to solve, and he has no good way to do it now, so he can only wait and see what happens, and secretly wait for the opportunity.

Soon after, there was a shouting sound at the gate of the courtyard, and I saw a group of strong men with five big and three thick men entering the temple and driving the people who were blocking the road to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to the side of the road, which seemed to open the way for those Qingqi.

After the road to the Daxiong Treasure Hall was cleared, accompanied by a commotion and noise of people at the gate of the courtyard, I saw some women wearing veils and graceful figures appeared at the door with the support of the maids.

"Look at the thin waist, it doesn't seem to be as thick as the mouth of the bowl."

"Look, that man's skin is so white."

"If you can kiss Fangze, this life will really not be in vain."

……

With the march of those Qingqi, people suddenly resounded on both sides of the road, and they were enthusiastic about the heads of those Qingqi.

Li Yun was calm by nature, so he naturally didn't talk about those Qingqi like those people around him, but quietly searched for suitable target candidates among those Qingqi, and then looked for an opportunity to contact him later, so he revealed the information that he had taken a fancy to that Qingqi to Chen Guangzong.

However, what made Li Yuntian feel a little disappointed was that those Qingqi were all wearing veils, and he could only see the parts above the eyes of the Qingqi at most, and could not know their appearance.

In view of this situation, Li Yuntian planned to choose one of those Qingqi at random as his goal to confuse Chen Guangzong, and just as he was thinking about how to create a beautiful encounter, a handkerchief in the hand of a Qingqi who walked in front of him suddenly came out of his hand and floated in front of him.

Seeing this situation, almost subconsciously, Li Yuntian grabbed the handkerchief with one hand.
