Counting the days, Zhou Qi has been locked up in the palace dungeon for more than three days.

It's a familiar feeling again, the last time I entered the prison was when the Su family almost beheaded the whole house, and then it was time to accompany Wu Zhitao to the county jail and deal with those bastards and thieves.

He never imagined that he would one day be imprisoned, and it would be a royal dungeon!

However, this dungeon is much cleaner than the county prison, there are no dirty things, and there are even candles, and there are some straws on the ground, but there are still beds, but there are no bedding!

It doesn't really matter, in this big summer, you can't freeze to death!

Lying on the bed at night, you can still see the stars at night through the skylight on the roof of the prison......

The cells next to him were also empty, and he was only imprisoned in the entire dungeon, and the little eunuch sent him to eat three meals a day, which was not shabby, and there were all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, which were very fresh.

He also sent alcohol twice in three days, although Zhou Qi didn't drink it, but distributed it to the prison guards, not because he was afraid of poison, but because he needed to stay sober.

He believed that someone would be found soon!

Sure enough, on the morning of the fourth day, footsteps could be heard from the dungeon walkway.

I saw a seven-foot figure walking in from the corner of the cell, the sunlight shining in through the skylight, and the blessing of candles, the dungeon was not dim.

Zhou Qi has already seen clearly that this person is the prime minister of the dynasty.

"Zhou man, how are you doing these days?"

"Single room accommodation, royal food, not bad."

Zhou Qi smiled, he had no fear in the face of this person, although the person's face was expressionless, and a chill oozed from his body.

In the past few days, he has figured out that the reform of the salt law in ancient times has been a long and protracted battle, and he is also bold enough to offend this powerful minister, where can he retreat with his whole body?!

But judging from the treatment in the prison for the past few days, the person in front of him does not intend to kill him now.

The two asked and answered, and the prison guards had already opened the cell door.

Zhou Qi didn't make any moves, and the prime minister walked in.

The guard brought another chair, dusted it, and withdrew.

"What you are talking about about the salt law will convert interests, the so-called investment, do you have ideas?"

The guards walked away, and the prime minister was no longer like the showmanship above the court, and asked questions directly.

When Zhou Qi wrote the salt law, he did not specify the investment, but only wrote the salt affairs in each district clearly, involving general agents, regional agents, etc., so as to reduce the operating costs of the government......

This is also the reason why he went to prison, but he did not panic.

He didn't believe that no one would ask him, whether it was the little emperor or the person in front of him, there would always be a person, and this was his capital for negotiation, and it was also a means to save his life!

Therefore, Zhou Qi still did not answer, but said: "There is no day in the dungeon, and there is no idea for the time being. ”

But who is the Prime Minister?

He, who assisted the kings of the three dynasties, saw Zhou Qi's careful thinking at once.

"Want to get out?"

Zhou Qi nodded like pounding garlic, and said with a smile: "Only by being harmonious can you make money." ”

Hearing this, the prime minister, whose expression had not changed, finally hooked the corners of his mouth, but he looked extremely disdainful.

"You probably don't have the capital to negotiate with me."

Zhou Qi shook his fingers, quite relaxed, and said, "You might as well let me guess?" ”

"You already understand the huge benefits that this method can bring, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me, but you're afraid that I will master the salt business......"

"I'm a dignified prime minister, afraid of you?" The Prime Minister raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Qi immediately corrected it and continued: "I don't want to, I don't want to master the salt business!" ”

"I think you already know that I have a friendship with Han Dutong, if I master the salt affairs, it will not be half beneficial to you, and even to disintegrate your power in the salt fields everywhere, salt is the foundation of our country, only by mastering the salt affairs in your hands, can you control the ministers, this is correct, right?"

Hearing this, the prime minister felt a little interesting, but he still snorted coldly and did not answer.

Zhou Qi also continued: "It's a pity, you don't dare to invest rashly in the salt law, in case you lose all your money, you will be infamous in the world, you want to kill me but you can't kill me, so you, want to win me over?" Perhaps, you plan to wait for me to explain the investment method and then kill me again? ”

In the past few days, no one has nagged him in prison, and he has made things clear, but I am afraid that a while ago, he gave Dahan an extra three points of tribute, and the treasury is empty again!

This salt law is equivalent to a lifesaver for both the prime minister and the Son of Heaven, which is why he was suddenly invited to the court, and why the prime minister was able to completely ignore the face of the Son of Heaven and directly order the palace guards to detain him.

After all, from the perspective of the court yesterday, this prime minister still has some scruples about the little emperor in front of people, otherwise why is he not above the court if he wants to be imprisoned?

With Zhou Qi's IQ, it is not difficult to speculate on these.

The prime minister narrowed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at this person.

Although Zhou Qi has been treated well in prison these days, he has not washed for a few days.

On the originally clean face, a little scum has been grown, and his resolute eyes are fearless, looking like a rough man, but this rough man has shrewdness that he shouldn't have.

But even if he guessed it, so what?

His eyes sank, and the prime minister said: "Since you know, I won't talk nonsense with you, tell me the method of investment, and I will save you from death." ”

Zhou Qi smiled, so familiar with the plot, so he laughed and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Zhou Qi couldn't pry his mouth open, the prime minister was already displeased, no one had ever been able to disobey him like this! …

But he still hid his anger, straightened up, and said, "The man will stay in prison for a few more days that week." ”

With that, he had already left the cell.

also explained to the guard: "In the past few days, don't let people deliver food anymore, and let him be sharp!" ”

"Zhou man, don't expect anyone to come to visit you, that ten-year-old child, he, don't dare!"

A word was left in the dungeon, and the prime minister's thick voice was still in his ears after a long time.

Zhou Qi is stupid!

Could it be that he was wrong in his guess?

The prime minister is not taking care of the ten-year-old son of heaven?

But he didn't have time to think about it, what he should be thinking about now is how to get out of prison, although he can't die here, but if he is locked up, it is better to live than to die!

What's more, in Qizhou City, there are still people waiting for him to go home!

But with the Prime Minister?

He doesn't seem to have this life.........

Before this, he had already had a relationship with the prime minister's cousin, and the son of the Shen family is said to be particularly valued by the prime minister! Secondly, Beef is nominally already his maid, and no matter what happens over there, he can't run.

This beam has already been laid.

In the end, his life is completely worthless to the prime minister, and now he is being carried around his neck to do things!

And he doesn't like this feeling very much, cooperation is also eye-catching, and the prime minister obviously doesn't have his appetite.

Thinking of this, he shouldn't have written any bullshit on that exam paper.

It's about him, anyway, this pious dynasty is a sign of the country's demise.

It's not a sin!
