The change of the palace, the traces and people related to this case were erased overnight, and when he returned to the palace, only Ning Guifei could say a little, the queen suppressed the voice of the court, and His Majesty was even more reluctant to mention this matter, and in the next few decades, all the news was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no shadow of it.

"I'm old, I don't have much real power, the emperor feels that the crown prince is a person who can inherit the unification, if you want to move forward, you must be ruthless."

Although Xue Muyan's methods are above board, for Lin Xiang's faction, they are still a little weaker, not to mention that it is easy to leave gaps for the other party for a while.

"You go to deal with the case in Hexi, Your Majesty has already given grace, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department will help you, remember to be ruthless, if you take this opportunity to cut off those branches and leaves, it will be beneficial to both the people and yourself in the future." Ning Hao secretly sent someone to check, but the silver inside was gone, and according to Chu Cangming's intentions, they all entered the prince's mansion.

Xue Muyan also knew that this matter was complicated, the number of officials in the facility was extremely large, and there were all grades and sizes, if they were cut off one by one, I was afraid that it would cause shocks in the court.

"I've read some of the case files, Your Majesty means that if you don't pursue it anymore, tens of thousands of people in Hexi will die in vain, grandpa will investigate now or in the future?" Lu Xiaowan has already explained the emperor's lifespan and physical condition one by one in the letter, which means that at this moment, the power struggle should be the main thing.

Ning Hao didn't know how to choose, if he checked it now, would it affect the choice between the families, "You can do the things on the border, I have secretly won a lot of people in the palace, if it goes well, it won't take half a month that the edict will be here." ”

He was still a little worried, those people could be dealt with at any time, the crown prince was not a person who was easy to leak clues, he could deceive the emperor and Lin Xiang for so many years, and he also played with power in the palm of his hand.

"Grandpa, we can't easily move the edict, it's better than anything else there, and the dormant at this moment is not only for the future cause, but also to let the prince show his feet." The activities in the capital have begun, all kinds of smoke bombs have been released, and Xue Muyan pretended to visit the mansions of many generals, nominally to exchange martial arts, but in fact it is also the same.

The prince's spies followed every day, and he took more and more gifts, and he began to become greedy, and the power and power in front of him could no longer satisfy him.

"You mean the crown prince is also staring at the edict?"

"Yes, Your Majesty thinks that he has a lot of power, but in fact he has already been secretly carved up, and the reason why Lin Xiang is afraid of His Majesty is just because he is afraid that the prince will give up on him." There are so many offerings in various places, and there are still some problems with the furnishings of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but any of the thoughts will not be so public.

Brightly and secretly, the prince is singing on stage, but he doesn't show up, and the courtiers don't count it in their hearts, Chu Cangming's unintentional discovery can be regarded as setting a precedent.

"I see, no wonder!" The weather suddenly turned cold, Ning Hao's body was not particularly good, and after putting down the dim sum, he sat there all the time. "Tomorrow, you go to the prince's mansion to take a look at him, after all, the military power in the southwest and southeast is in the hands of the prince, and you are his younger brother, there is nothing wrong with meeting his brother."

The two talked heart-to-heart, and it seemed that all the temptations and distrust in the past few years had an end, and after sunset, they returned to Ning Mansion and opened the letter written by Lu Xiaowan.

"Why are you so busy?" It was the time of spring sowing, and Lu Xiaowan was busy with her feet not touching the ground at this time, and she met the road to northern Qin.

After Xue Muyan read it, he took up the pen to explain the recent events one by one, as well as the arrangements in various mansions, but did not write about the things in the palace.

"Wait, maybe I'll be able to see you back in a month." Xue Muyan looked at the bracelet in his hand, and it was also her in his dream, his eyes were a little red, it was time to clear up with her. "The situation in front of me is very difficult for me, and if it doesn't work, I have to be successful."

If the road to northern Qin can be taken, maybe the situation will be better, the military power in the southeast has fallen into the hands of the prince, and there is no good general in his hands to replace it.

Lu Xiaowan inadvertently found that the coastal area was very far away from her hometown, and the transportation of seafood did not dare to think, where did the fresh seafood in Qingfeng Lou come from.

"Wu Qiang, do you need some sea cucumbers in our medical hall, you can see if there are any ways to get in." Don't think about the living sea cucumber, but Qingfeng Lou has it, Lu Xiaowan can't figure it out, but she can't say anything on the surface, so she can only put the words into her heart.

Where did Wu Qiang know what his boss sea cucumber was for, touched his head, and went to a shop in the west of the city, where there were a lot of sea cucumbers.

"There's been a lot of fresh seafood lately, and you really have a lot of goods!" Wu Qiang took a look at the sea cucumber and looked at the size and condition, and it was even if it met his own standards, after all, it was not easy to want some better color this season.

The boss didn't even bother to say anything, his family's business has been a lot worse recently, so he said that there are almost no orders in Qingfeng Building, and the business everywhere is also extremely difficult to do, and bandits are really rampant.

"Just get me some, recently a lot of medicinal food in the store has to add sea cucumbers, if I can eat your batch of sea cucumbers, what price can I give."

The boss stretched out his finger, Wu Qiang of course knew that the price was high, and after making a gesture, he was a little reluctant in his heart, "You take it, I don't know what wind has been blowing recently, those bandits have started selling seafood, and I haven't opened here for three days." ”

Wu Qiang's eyes widened, if it weren't for the sea cucumbers being a little tricky, he would have thought that he was listening to the story, where would there be bandits doing legitimate business.

"Anyone else dares to buy it?"

"Qingfeng Lou is rumored to have bought a lot, and recently the girl inside has eaten seafood for a while, and I'm angry."

When he took the sea cucumber away, the boss also took some dead sea fish to him, saying that he would bring it back to Miss Lu to taste it, and maybe he could help him sell some.

Lu Xiaowan was asking Ning Xin'er to draw drawings at this time, if the road needed to be repaired here, the idea of the government would be cut off, but where there was a convenient road, the people of the government would not go.

"Sister, we really have to make a deal with the bandits!" Ning Xin'er had already drawn most of the drawings, and there were still some details that had not been filled in, and Lu Xiaowan always felt that something was missing.

Lu Xiaowan felt that it was the lack of transportation, and thought of many solutions on the side, "Yes, I heard that the southeast side is already the prince's, if there is no way to completely put Jiangnan in his hands, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." ”

The business in Jiangnan is not difficult to do, and Lu Xiaowan has long been eyeing it.

"There are waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and I heard that those people from the Western Regions all do so through waterways." Ning Xin'er also added some things to the side, only to feel that the hidden place of this road perfectly magnified the danger of the mountain road.

Although the waterway is convenient, with the current shipbuilding technology and speed, the time is too slow, far less fast than the land route, and silk and porcelain are precious things, so they naturally want to bring them back to the Western Regions as soon as possible.

"We still lack some tools, I'm afraid the bandits can't be bandits, find a way to recruit An, our county commander can't stay." When she came back a few days ago, a person surnamed Huang asked for a bribe, and she secretly left some clues to come down, and as soon as the people in the state capital were replaced by Xue Muyan, she would do it.

Qingfeng Lou is even more so, secretly doing so much, "Qingfeng Lou I have also found a way, the current girl from Allure City has long been unwilling to stay here, what do you say will happen if the capital calls her back?" ”

The most unlikely thing for Lin Xiang to move at this time is Allure, Ning Xin'er knows it, unless there is something important in the capital that needs to be dealt with by Allure, for example, all the girls in the largest Qinglou in the capital have Hualiu disease.

"The picture is good, it's really a loss to the bandits here, and it won't be easy for the government to take over in the future." Ning Xin'er's worries were reasonable, and Lu Xiaowan had been worried about this, so she didn't say so much to the big boss.

"Let's sing a play first, anyway, it's time to do it." She counted the remaining time of the emperor in her heart, thought about the military power everywhere, and knew that a war was inevitable.

A good show needs a good book, Ning Xin'er knows who is the best, the seafood in the shop in the west of the city is not unsellable, if you can easily take a shortcut to get in, maybe the price can be lowered.

"Sister, I'll send a letter to you, you can rest assured that everything will be dealt with." Seafood needs speed, and Wu Qiang said that there is a large amount of seafood in Qingfeng Building, so it is difficult to cooperate with the bandits in advance, and Lu Xiaowan is more interested in where the bandits are at this time.

Ning Xin'er has more and more business in her hands, but Lu Xiaowan is a little worried that in the future, most of the families she marries will be from wealthy families, and the way of doing things of businessmen may embarrass her.

"Xin'er, it's good for me to look at Qiudong and Siyu, how about leaving the business affairs to them in the future?"

"Sister, you once said that women can also be on their own, but now that I have the ability, you have made me regress."

She Ning Xin'er doesn't want to be a boudoir woman, and one day she will definitely be able to break through this curtain and be the best woman in the world.

"The trip to the capital made me think about a lot of things, but it's right, even if you marry into those mansions without money in your hands, life will not be easy, and Grandpa Ning can't protect you for a lifetime." The women's school may be able to take advantage of the bandits' recruitment, for example, a few girls from the incoming Futai lord's family are a good choice.

She laughed softly, obviously not much older than herself, "Sister, sometimes I really think that you are a lot older than me, but in fact, there are not many of them!" “

Lu Xiaowan didn't speak, she was also thinking about whether there was a problem with her layout, after all, after Qinbei and Jiangnan were all the way smooth, she would find a way to swallow the silk industry in Jiangnan.
