Ji Lie nodded, and took Laifu to the main hall of the palace.

Those people from the Youzhou Business Alliance previously paid a total of more than 800,000 taels of deposits.

It may seem like a lot of money, but it's actually quite a lot.

As the saying goes, though.

It is the gold that always shines, the silver that always spends itself, and the temperance that always falls out.

After acquiring so much land and buying a large amount of iron, there was not much left of this deposit.

The profits of Drunken Immortal Brew and Jade Dew Water can only barely maintain the operation of the palace.

As for the tax on land, it cannot be counted on in a short period of time, and it must wait until next year!

It seems that if you want to continue to develop, you have to think of some more ways to make money.

Ji Lie thought as he walked into the lobby.

"I've seen the prince!"

Wang Yan and Li Rong hurriedly got up and bowed.

After Ji Lie sat down straight, he chuckled and said,

"You just left, why did you go and come back?"

Wang Yan glanced at Li Rong and gritted his teeth,

"We have something extremely important, come to pay homage to the prince!"

"What matters? Could it be that Yu Jing is looking for you and joining forces to harm Lonely? ”

Ji Lie said with a smile.

It's just that although his voice was soft, in the ears of Wang and Li, it was no less than a thunderclap in their ears, which shocked them and stunned them!

The two of them only met Yu Jing yesterday evening, how did the prince know today?

Looking at the shocked expressions of the two, Ji Lie secretly sneered in his heart.

Not to mention that he ordered Yang Dehou to keep an eye on Gongsun He, Yu Jing, Yang Zhen and others.

Yu Jing found Wang Yan and Li Rong to discuss the location, it was a drunken immortal brew.

As soon as they ended, the content of the conversation was told to Ji Lie by Yang Dehou.

The reason why Ji Lie remained silent was to see how Wang Yan and Li Rong would choose.

"You two are so bold that you dare to collude with Yu Jing with the intention of being unfavorable to Lone!"

Ji Lie scolded sharply.

The two of them immediately panicked, hurriedly "pounced" and fell to their knees.

"Lord Mingjian, we are loyal to the prince, how can we intentionally harm the prince?"

"Yes, it was Yu Jing who took the initiative to find us, and we never had this mind, so we came to report to the prince!"

Looking at the two kneeling on the ground, Ji Lie's expression became more and more cold.

"Oh? If that's the case, then why didn't you come to report last night, but why did you delay it until now? ”

Faced with Ji Lie's questioning, Wang Yan and Li Rong were speechless for a while.

They couldn't say that they were wavering.

It wasn't until Ji Lie said that he wanted to promote the children of their family that he decided to completely fall to Ji Lie, right?

"All right, get up and speak."

Ji Lie's face softened and waved his hand.

As if they had been pardoned, they hurriedly stood up.

Although Wang Yan and Li Rong's behavior is really hateful, Ji Lie can understand them.

After all, whether it is the palace or Gongsun River, they are the existence that the two of them cannot afford to offend.

They were able to wake up in the end, and it was not really hopeless.

Besides, to deal with Gongsun River next, Ji Lie also needs the help of the two of them.

"Since Gongsun He intends to harm Lonely, then Lone will come up with a plan."

A trace of fierceness flashed in Ji Lie's eyes, and he said in a deep voice,

"The two of you replied to Yu Jing and said that you were willing to cooperate with them."

Wang Yan and Li Rong glanced at each other, and had to nod their heads.

……

Three days later.

In order to celebrate Wang Yan's 50th birthday, the Wang family's mansion was decorated with lights, so lively!

The open space outside the mansion was already full of carriages, but there was still an endless stream of guests who came to visit.

Meanwhile.

On the second floor of a wine shop not far away, Gongsun He, Gongsun Qing, Yu Jing and others sat by the window, looking in the direction of the palace.

"How's the preparation?"

Gongsun He asked softly.

"Captain Yang and a hundred county soldiers have been arranged into the palace."

"The assassin killers that Guo Cheng found in other places are also with Captain Yang."

Yu Jing smiled sinisterly.

"When did my father find the assassin killer?"

Gongsun Qing was a little strange.

"Childe doesn't know, just in case, Guocheng has found some rangers with extraordinary martial arts."

Since ancient times, the people of Youzhou have been fierce, and there have been many rangers who advocate force.

Gongsun He had recruited a lot of such people before, just in case of emergency.

It came in handy today.

"In addition, there are several Hu people, and it is said that they are all the wolf guards of the previous Shan Yu."

"After the new Shan Yu killed the old Shan Yu, they were forced to flee into exile."

Yu Jing explained.

"I see!"

Gongsun Qing suddenly realized, and said with a smile,

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that King Youwang will die today!"

Gongsun He showed a sneer and instructed Gongsun Qing,

"Okay, Qing'er, you go back to the yamen with me first."

"Dad, don't we see the King of You being killed?"

Gongsun Qing was a little unwilling.

"Idiot, such a big thing, naturally it is necessary to disassociate the relationship!"

Gongsun He scolded, turned his head to Yu Jing and said,

"You are staring here, once you start to move inside, you will go and mobilize the remaining county soldiers and directly enter the Wang family."

"At that time, the Wang family and the Li family will be wiped out, and don't leave a living mouth, so as not to leak the news!"

From the beginning, Gongsun He had no intention of letting Wang Yan and Li Rong go.

The previous rhetoric was just to stabilize them and let them help.

After all, for such a big thing as the murder of the prince, someone must bear the responsibility!

And the Wang family and the Li family are the most suitable substitutes for the dead ghosts!

"The subordinates know, Guocheng go slowly!"

Yu Jing bowed and sent Gongsun He out of the restaurant.

After Gongsun He left, Yu Jing returned to the second floor and looked at the lively Wang family, feeling extremely happy.

As long as Ji Lie is removed, not only can these warriors regain control of the secluded land, but they can also swallow the business of drunken immortal brewing, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Ji Lie, when you humiliated me, did you ever think that there would be today?

……

Wang's side courtyard.

Yang Zhen led more than 100 county soldiers and was waiting in the courtyard.

Although the county soldiers also belong to the regular army of Great Xia, they are more responsible for maintaining law and order in the county, which is somewhat similar to the difference between the armed police and the army in later generations.

Their status was inferior to that of the regular army, and therefore they were much less equipped.

For example, the soldiers of the Great Xia army wore standard armor.

And these county soldiers under Yang Zhen are equipped with leather armor!

Originally, Yang Zhen planned to mobilize all the soldiers of the 1,000 counties, but after thinking about it, the movement of so many people was too big.

Besides, not all of them are of the same mind as themselves.

In the end, Yang Zhen selected more than a hundred cronies and brought ten strong bows, the purpose of which was to take Ji Lie down in one fell swoop!

After all, it was to murder the prince of a dynasty, including Yang Zhen, and everyone present was a little uneasy.

There were only a few Hu people on the side, sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking quite calm.

"Tuk Tuk!"

At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly slammed.
