Let Cuihong be your daughter-in-law?

You are a court official, you dare to let your son marry a woman from a Qinglou?

Do you want a reputation?

Do you want a future?

Not to mention being a daughter-in-law, you don't dare to be a concubine!

"Brother, don't believe it, although that girl was born in a Qinglou, she is still a clean woman...... You, hehe, are a good match! ”

Lin Xi turned Xiao Fan's shoulders and smiled playfully with the eyes that all men know.

Xiao Fan also smiled ambiguously, and only said, "You just said that you can't help or not, right?" ”

"Help!"

Lin Xi sighed: "It's rare for my brother to ask for something, can my brother not help?" ”

"You say, what are you going to change her to?"

"Let's say okay first, I can't do it."

"Haha." Xiao Fan laughed.

You've got a bit of a sense of humor.

Xiao Fan said lightly: "Just be an ordinary good book, and make up a perfect past for her." ”

"Oh......"

Lin Xi smiled suddenly: "I understand, I understand...... Hehe, brother, you want to take a concubine, and you're afraid that her background will affect you? ”

"That's a good idea."

Xiao Fan smiled secretly.

Hehe, don't say that you are a dignified county order, you have never done such a thing before.

You're not a good official, my brother Lin!

After finishing the matter, Xiao Fan said: "Then I thank my brother......"

With that, it's time to leave.

Lin Xi hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Wait...... Brother, you're too anxious, let's talk a few more words with my brother! ”

"Good ......"

Xiao Fan smiled helplessly: "What does my brother want to talk about?" ”

Jiang Xing, who was on the side, covered his mouth with his hand, and he began to yawn.

Lin Xi suddenly leaned over again and asked in a low voice:

"I heard that Li Qingshan's Qingshan Yaxing was cut out of his own business by him, and it was all left to those old people, and he didn't touch it at all...... Do you know why? ”

Xiao Fan smiled.

Lin Xi must have heard something from the capital!

Who has Li Qingshan been close to recently, others don't know, doesn't Lin Xi know yet?

It must be Xiao Fan, grabbed Xiao Fan and asked, just to know if the secret from the capital is true.

"Did you hear about it?" Xiao Fan asked rhetorically.

"Hmm."

Lin Xi nodded and said, "Over there, I also have friends, Li Qingshan got a salt guide, do you know?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Fan didn't hide it, nodded and smiled.

"That guy will tell you everything."

Lin Xi was not surprised, and continued to ask: "Li Qingshan wants to be a salt merchant, this is not surprising, after all, businessmen want to sell salt, this is one of the most profitable businesses." ”

"But Li Qingshan's salt quote is different, I know the content above is not an ordinary salt quote."

Xiao Fan was unexpected.

Lin Xi actually knew the content of the salt citation.

That's where it gets interesting.

It seems that although this Lord Lin's official fortune is not very prosperous, he still has friends in high positions.

This matter is considered to be confidential, and there are few people in the household department, and only Shangshu, Shilang and a few four-grade masters can know.

It can be seen that Lin Xi is in the capital, and there are more than four backstage products.

It's not necessarily hard, but it's always well-informed.

"Brother, what exactly do you want to ask?" Xiao Fan looked at Lin Xi with a slight smile.

Lin Xiban got up, squinted his eyes and said, "Brother, tell me the truth, this is a ...... Did you pick it up? ”

Pick-up?

Isn't that a good word?

Should be...... Persuade?

Lin Xi pointed at Xiao Fan, meaningful: "Li Qingshan, I still understand, unless he can have greater benefits, he will not give up his teeth." ”

"And where did his salt come from?"

"The salt introduction near Gyeonggi has long been sold out by the household, and it has not been approved on the surface."

"Li Qingshan's salt quote is written about the right to operate refined salt, this kind of thing that involves technology, and the entire Lantai County except for you, brother...... Brother, I can't think of anyone else, who can become Li Qingshan's Bole! ”

it!

It wasn't Xiao Fan who was surprised, it was Jiang Xing.

When Fang had just talked to Li Qingshan, Jiang Xing was listening not far away.

Now I've heard it again.

Why are these old men so smart?

How can you see that it's my master?

All of them are foxes, right?

And Xiao Fan, naturally, was not surprised, and in the face of Lin Xi's questioning, he did not hide it:

"It's me."

The tone of the answer was perfunctory, but it was an acknowledgement.

"Sure enough, it's your brother!"

Lin Xi pointed at Xiao Fan and was shocked: "That salt introduction, I heard that it was personally approved by His Majesty, what means did you use to actually ...... Listen to the heavens? ”

At this moment, in Lin Xi's eyes, Xiao Fan is no longer Brother Xiao.

It's Master Xiao.

"Brother, you're really shocking my brother more and more!"

"I have a talent like you in Lantai County, why haven't you unearthed it before!"

Lin Xi was not polite this time, but really felt that this treasure was discovered too late.

A few years earlier, maybe he would have been promoted to the court a long time ago!

Xiao Fan said: "Brother, you care so much about this matter, do you want to ...... A piece of the pie? ”

Lin Xi hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "No, no, no, this money is hot, I don't dare to take it!" ”

He's not polite, he really doesn't dare!

The salt merchants, whom the emperor personally paid attention to, intervened again, did he think that he would lose his official position quickly enough?

What's more, Lin Xi knew that his property situation could not withstand strict inspection.

"Then brother, what are you going to do when you ask this?" Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Li Qingshan lost the business of Yaxing, just to be a salt merchant, and the people behind him should be able to guess that it has something to do with you."

Lin Xidao: "How will you deal with it then?" ”

"I have King Qi behind me."

Xiao Fan didn't care about the authenticity.

This time, the confidence is sufficient, not a fox and a fake tiger.

Now, Xiao Fan and King Qi really have contacts, and they are relatively close.

Every time Wanfulou delivered goods to the capital, Xiao Fan would ask people to bring some things, and even had letters with King Qi.

It's just that both sides have a tacit understanding, just greeting the parents, and there is no half a word to mention any government affairs or the current situation.

"King Qi is indeed very hard."

Lin Xi's words made Xiao Fan look sideways.

How do you know that King Qi is hard?

Lin Xi glanced at Xiao Fan, smiled, and said, "Brother, don't think that my brother is a fool." ”

"How dare you?" Xiao Fan shook his head.

Isn't it?

"When the King of Qi returned to Beijing, he hid in the mansion and did not make friends with any dignitaries, at most he went to the palace a few times to see His Majesty."

"Outsiders are afraid that they all feel that King Qi feels that he has no strength and does not want to participate in the troubled waters of the succession."

"But His Majesty's attitude towards him is very ambiguous."

Lin Xi said: "Your Majesty, if you are just ...... It is important to see King Qi when he is sick, and if he sees him, he should let him go, so as to protect him. ”

"When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future and the king of Qi comes to mourn the emperor, everything will fall, and the king of Qi will not be threatened at all."

"But Your Majesty didn't let King Qi go! Explain that His Majesty aligns with the king...... There are also expectations! ”

When these words were spoken, Xiao Fan's expression gradually became wonderful.

Although Lin Xi thought crookedly from some angles, the conclusion he got was correct!

"Brother, you think too much, isn't it because Your Majesty thinks ...... I was seriously ill and wanted to see my beloved youngest son more, so didn't I let King Qi go back? Xiao Fan said with a smile.

Lin Xi shrugged: "It doesn't matter, there is also such a possibility." ”

"But even if Your Majesty doesn't expect King Qi, in the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely re-establish King Qi and add a few more orbs to his crown!"

Lin Xi can see this clearly, and Xiao Fan is not surprised.

After all, those who play officialdom are very sophisticated about this kind of thing.

If the new boss takes office, if the entire management is suppressed, he will definitely be hollowed out or even rebel soon.

It is necessary to suppress some of them, hold up some of them, and make their internal interests unbalanced and unable to form alliances.

In addition, you can also establish your own moral demeanor of not suppressing the elderly.

Even more so of the dynasty.

The old and new emperors are relatives, and the delicate relationship between them must be grasped even more carefully.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing to appease is the clan relatives.

King Qi is not a threat at all, of course he will be praised as a tool for the new emperor to flaunt his morality.

"That's ...... My brother is right, I just took a fancy to this point and moved closer to King Qi. ”

Xiao Fan said bluntly without concealment.

Lin Xi nodded and said, "Yes...... You should have taken a fancy to this in the first place, so you came into contact with King Qi...... It's just that I didn't expect that you could really make friends with the King of Qi, not as a staff member. ”

"It's just a fluke," Xiao Fan told part of the truth and sighed, "Who would have thought that an unconscious guy picked up on the side of the road would actually be His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

Lin Xi's eyes secretly bloomed.

I see!
