"Master Li, are you ready for the right people?"

In a room with doors and windows closed, Xia Yiyu asked Li Huan, who was sitting below.

Li Huan stood up, bent over to exert force, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Highness, thank you for your life-saving grace, if there is no help from Your Highness, this hurdle in front of your officials will definitely not be able to pass!" ”

After Li Huan finished speaking, he bent down and bowed before continuing:

The people sent by Xia Guan and Cui Guan are all martial arts masters, and they are absolutely reliable! The subordinate has ordered them not to startle the snakes, but to follow them from a distance and find their place of stay. ”

In the Great Xia Dynasty, the martial capital, most of the officials at the level of Li Huan would raise the dead to solve some secret things for themselves.

In the inner hall of the Salt Industry Department, Xia Yiyu sat leisurely in the hall and tasted tea, listening to the strings of numbers reported by the officials outside, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhou Dahai 800 votes"

"Cao Yan 650 votes"

"Kong Zhanghua 530 votes"

"In"

"It's coming"

The three people came up to get the salt purchase certificate issued by the Salt Industry Department and hurriedly went to the salt warehouse to receive the salt, and the silver for the salt purchase had already been paid when they applied for it yesterday.

"Han Genghu 600 votes"

“………”

Li Huan stood at the door of the Salt Industry Department and watched this scene, his heart was sour, it has been more than ten days today, and there are still so many salt merchants coming.

It turns out that he has a share in this salt.

The third prince is so black-hearted, he has to earn two hundred and fifty wen for one stone, Li Huan spat fiercely before going inside.

The three princes not only snatched food from the mouths of the powerful, but even exempted the water and land tariffs for transporting salt, and those city gate guards and waterway inspections all turned the three princes over and over again, and scolded them hundreds of times without repeating them.

Li Huan's mouth full of teeth was exposed, and he didn't show the slightest irritation at Xia Yiyu, and walked forward to salute Xia Yiyu, and said, "Hehe! The lower official has seen His Royal Highness, please move His Highness, and the lower official has something to report! ”

After the two entered the room, Li Huan handed over a letter and said with a happy smile: Your Highness! The second prince wrote to say that he was very grateful to His Royal Highness for helping to retrieve the account book and giving His Royal Highness the Second Prince a great credit! The second prince will wait for His Royal Highness to return to Kyoto and then express his gratitude to His Royal Highness! ”

In the last assassination, Li Huan and Cui Pinggen's ambush men followed the panicked assassins back to the mansion, and then waited outside for Li Huan to arrive with the government soldiers, claiming to have captured Jiang Yang's thieves, surrounded everyone inside, and arrested them, and also recovered the ledger and burned it on the spot. As for the case of the burning of the Salt Industry Division, Li Huan closed the case with several mobs to retaliate against the Salt Industry Division.

Xia Yiyu said very politely after reading the letter: "The second emperor brother is polite, my own brother doesn't need to be polite!" The second emperor brother takes a lot of care of this prince on weekdays, and he should be grateful for the newspaper! In the future, the second emperor brother will take care of it more! ”

"Huh! Your Royal Highness is polite, the two princes should take care of each other! Your Royal Highness, Zeng Gong is the person of the great prince, and he has made a lot of contributions this time, I don't know... The letter from the lower official has been delivered, and the lower official will leave! ”

Xia Yiyu sneered in his heart, didn't make any expression on his face, and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Li, this person conspired to want the life of this prince before!" How could you let him go? This prince has his own plans! ”

Li Huan said "heh", politely saluted and left.

Xia Yiyu looked at his back as he left and smiled coldly. He didn't remember what the second emperor brother had to do with him, and some of them just took advantage of it!

With the unpredictable city of the second emperor brother, this trip, his ability is too outstanding, and it will cause him to be wary and jealous!

When night falls, cold winter nights are the most suitable for eating hot pot, and Cheng Chen and Lihong are eating hot pot at this time.

In this backward ancient world, it is difficult for foodies to think of a way to satisfy their appetites, Cheng Chen painted a small iron charcoal basin in later generations, square, and there are four tripods under the charcoal basin, but this blacksmith has created more like Ding, which makes Cheng Chen difficult to accept.

In ancient times, there was no stainless steel soup pot, so Cheng Chen directly put the copper basin on the shelf, and a lot of charcoal was placed in the charcoal basin.

Cheng Chen asked the cook to boil a large pot of fresh chicken soup and put the ancient three spices; Dogwood, peppercorns, and ginger are all put in one go. It was not easy for the kitchen to gather a few vegetables, slicing fat sheep, fat beef, fish, and chicken.

These are ordinary meats, Cheng Chen rejected venison, this rich family, pay attention to eating venison in winter, Cheng Chen can't accept it as a modern person.

Cheng Chen devoured without any image, the plate in front of her was already stacked high, and Lihong, a man who wears strong clothes every day, was reserved and reserved.

Xia Yiyu smelled a strong aroma before returning to the hall, and followed the fragrance to Cheng Chen's room.

"It smells so good! What are you eating? ”

Cheng Chen chewed the meat in his mouth and beckoned Xia Yiyu to dine together.

"Your Highness, you've come back and reserved a seat for you! Please sit down and eat together! ”

Xia Yiyu looked at the empty plate in front of Cheng Chen's table, then at Cheng Chen's small body, and teased: "Chen'er! How many days have you not eaten? ”

Lihong, who was standing next to Xia Yiyu and giving food to him, tried his best to hold back a smile.

Cheng Chen glared at Lihong and said, "Lihong doesn't allow you to laugh at me!" Your Highness, you haven't been hungry for me, it's been too long... It's so delicious, it's fun to do it yourself! ”

Xia Yiyu waved his hand to let Lihong retreat, picked up the chopsticks and fished them into the pot, he also let go after eating with Cheng Chen a few times, and the aristocratic etiquette he had cultivated since childhood was also put aside.

The woman on the other side didn't know what it meant to 'eat without saying anything'. With such an unpretentious style, Xia Yiyu was very happy to see it.

There is a lot less politeness and more closeness to each other.

Xia Yiyu sent a piece of beef to his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it slowly before speaking.

"The second emperor brother asked Li Huan to send a letter, and the words are full of appreciation and politeness!"

"Your Highness!" Cheng Chen said seriously, "Can you not eat so elegantly, what is this called the affection of your subordinates?" ”

Xia Yiyu was angry and said, "This prince doesn't dislike you for being ugly, you actually dislike this prince?" ”

Cheng Chen said vaguely: "Giving a big gift has caused jealousy!" After His Royal Highness returned to Beijing, he tried his best to keep quiet for a period of time, this time the movement was big enough, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty remembered His Highness, and most of them were not good! ”

Xia Yiyu nodded in agreement and said, "Recently, the receiver sent by the imperial court has arrived, and I will go to Yancheng to inspect after the handover, are you waiting for me here?" Or with me? ”

After Xia Yiyu finished speaking, he faintly looked forward to taking the United States with him, and this errand was easy to play.

"My subordinates don't want to go, it's windy on the beach, and the sea breeze is extremely cold!" Cheng Chen couldn't see Xia Yiyu's heart and knew his thoughts.

Xia Yiyu secretly gritted his teeth, squeezed out a smile or squeezed out, and said, "That's good!" You are waiting here for me to come back, and then go back to Beijing with the salt profits you have saved for more than ten days! But there's one more thing to clean up before that. ”

"Him?"

Xia Yiyu nodded.

Zeng Gong has recently changed his attitude towards soy sauce as the situation in the Salt Industry Division has improved, and he has turned to work diligently, and he is busy until the latest every day.

The emperor valued this salt industry reform, and although he proposed it, he himself scoffed at it in his heart. How difficult and how difficult the reform is, and how much resistance there is, the predecessors who died for the reform since ancient times have proved it very well for the latecomers.

But according to the current situation, if it is done beautifully, I dare not say that the first merit is thin, and it is still stable to rank second in the credit thin, after all, this matter was proposed by him.

Although the original purpose was not here, and the planned thing was not done, but this mistake won a great credit, and it can be simplified in the emperor's heart, and Zeng Gong is also quite satisfied with this.

Recently, everything has been going well, and a good future awaits in the future, so that it is fluttering.

Tonight, under the flattery and instigation of a group of subordinates, he and his subordinates went to Qunfang Building to drink and have fun, and finally had a Spring Festival with Yangzhou's top brand Oiran. The imperial court forbade officials to engage in prostitution, but it was repeatedly prohibited, and as long as they were not caught red-handed, it would not hurt.

Zeng Gongsu, according to his current merits, if someone impeaches the emperor, at most it will only reprimand, which is not much wrong, but it is very inappropriate for the prostitute to die of a stroke......
