A cough rang out in the hall.

Yang Yan took a while before he came to his senses, and said in a deep voice, "Let me consider this matter." ”

It was said that he was not talented, but in fact he saw very clearly that once he offered the salt method, the saints were likely to appoint him to practice the salt method.

He knew very well that with the favor of the saint, as long as he showed a little ability to pay taxes, he would immediately have the possibility of worshipping the prime minister. But at that time, the Yang family will immediately fight with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and the East Palace will also be wary of the Yang family.

So he looked at Xue Bai with a scrutinizing gaze.

Xue Bai calmly met this scrutinizing gaze and responded: "Of course Uncle Guo has scruples, I just want to say one thing, God does not take it, but suffers from it, Uncle Guo is trusted by the saint, and has the talent to govern the country, now if he doesn't want to make progress, it will be too late to regret it." ”

After that, he really didn't persuade each other anymore, sat and drank tea for a while, Yang Yan and Yang Yuyao had something to say, so he withdrew first.

"Sanniang brought him today." Yang Yan looked at Xue Bai's back and asked Yang Yuyao, "Have you ever thought about what others will say?" ”

"I don't care what people say." Yang Yuyao didn't care.

Yang Yun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Since you brought him to the house, you have thought about remarrying......"

"Is my brother crazy? Say this kind of nonsense. ”

Yang Yuyao knew that this was impossible, so she didn't bother to talk to Yang Yan more, so as not to disturb her heart, so she got up and left.

She walked through the corridor, thinking that she would have to arrange Xue Bai's marriage by herself in the future, and choose a soft-hearted wife for him, so that she could get along for a long time...... When I looked up again, I saw Xue Bai standing by the pavilion, listening to a few maidservants chatting in the distance.

"What are you listening to?"

"They said that there was a beautiful boy who was the son of General Qianniuwei, who had been missing for a long time, and was found yesterday, and when someone asked him where he went, he said that he had been in your house for the past few days."

Yang Yuyao laughed, bit Xue Bai's ear and whispered, "The person on my couch is you." ”

"Why don't you correct your name?"

"I'm not afraid of gossip." Yang Yuyao said leisurely, "Don't bother to care about her, it's not the first time that Da Xi Yingying has planted it for me." ”

"You said she came at you, but she didn't say what you had?"

"Who knows why she hates me." Yang Yuyao said lazily, "King Shou's people have a little bit of a problem with their brains......"

~~

Xue Bai stayed in the Lady of Yuguo Mansion for a few more days, and at the beginning of February, Yang Yuyao finally couldn't keep him.

And during this period, Yang Gong gave a lecture to the sage on "On the Matter of the Salt Law", which attracted the attention of all parties in the court.

~~

On the first day of February, Yongxingfang, the residence of the ten kings.

A carriage stopped in the alley, and Da Xi Yingying stood beside the car dressed as a maidservant, raising her eyes to glance at Shi Zhong stuffing a piece of gold into King Shou's family order.

Because Li Xuan, the king of longevity, is almost thirty years old, he still lives in the mansion of the ten kings, and his daily whereabouts are closely monitored by family orders, and he is not allowed to interact with hundreds of officials, and he has little communication with the outside world.

"King Shou is not suitable to see guests, only melons and fruits are allowed to be sent in."

So the carriage drove away first, and Da Xi Yingying was led in by the family order.

All the way into the hall, I saw the decadent Li Xuan sitting there, as if watching a maiko performance, but his eyes were very empty.

"Shouwang."

Li Xuan waved his hand and told the dancers to stand down.

Da Xi Yingying immediately stepped forward and wanted to make love with him, but was pushed away.

"Not in the mood." Li Xuan said lightly.

"Yes."

Da Xi Yingying had a grudge in her heart, and secretly said that he had an excuse every time.

This was not the case when she first met him, when he was very ambitious, saying that she looked like the princess's sister, and every time he would ask her to turn her back and call "Yu Yao" in her ear.

"Did you find it?" Li Xuan got down to business.

"Xue Bai has checked all the people who come and go. He has a lot of officials to come and go, Yang Yuyao, Du Jia, Yan Zhenqing, the governor of Chang'an County, and he also went to see Yang Chen a few days ago...... The slave family believes that there is indeed the residual force behind him that the abolished prince Li Ying is pushing him, so he has such energy. ”

Speaking of this, Da Xi Yingying glanced at Li Xuan and saw that he had no reaction, so she continued to speak.

"In the murder case of the veteran of Longyou more than two months ago, some people said that it was done by Donggong or Yang Shenjin, but the slave family believed that it was the remnants of the abolished prince who mobilized this dead soldier, and Xue Bai and Du Cheng were present at that time, and they were the most profitable. And the troublemakers in the Qingmen Restaurant are still these dead soldiers, Xue Bai and Du Cheng are still present, and they are still the most profitable. What does it mean that two young people shouldn't have such abilities? Jingzhao Du has always been the remnant of the abolished prince, so he adopted the son of Xue Rust. ”

Li Xuan finally spoke, and said: "This is all your speculation, because you didn't get things done, you started to make things up." ”

"These are what the slaves have seen with their own eyes." Da Xi Yingying said: "They sent dead soldiers to rob Xue Ling, and even I couldn't find it." ”

"Then you say, what is the reason for the abolition of the prince's remnants?"

"In order to promote King Li Cong as the prince!"

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Da Xi Yingying, and wanted to scold but was stunned.

He didn't expect that this woman from a humble background would now have such courage to dare to talk about the abolition in front of him.

Even he didn't dare!

After being stunned, he began to think.

Li Cong was the eldest son of the emperor, and he was disqualified from becoming a prince due to a face injury caused by hunting. Therefore, the crown prince was first given to the second son of the emperor, Li Ying, and then to the third son of the emperor, Li Heng.

After the Sanshuren case, Li Ying was killed, and several young sons became orphans, and it was Li Cong who raised them.

Although Da Xi Yingying was all speculation, it gave a reasonable possibility - Li Cong deliberately threw Xue Rust's outer room out to make trouble, so that the old affairs of the court could be brought up again, and the case of Sanshu was rehabilitated.

Li Cong also had to lose both the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the East Palace. This can explain why Xue Bai helped Li Linfu deal with the East Palace, and why he cooperated with the Yang family to propose the salt method.

"Nope."

Li Cong immediately shook his head and said in a very certain tone: "Li Cong can't do it, he can't manipulate this in the Ten Kings' Mansion. No one knows better than me how closely monitored this place is, and there is no way he can do it. ”

Da Xi Yingying said: "Li Cong doesn't need to arrange it himself, as long as someone supports him......"

"That's enough." Li Xuan was not very happy, sat down dejectedly, and drank a glass of wine, "This king asked you to check, but I didn't let you guess." ”

"Yes."

Li Xuan said: "Tomorrow at noon, you go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." How to check in the future, arranged by the right phase. ”

"King Shou, the slave family thinks that the right minister may not spare no effort to ......"

Halfway through Da Xi Yingying's words, Li Xuan had already waved his hand lazily.

She was stunned, looked at the unambitious man in front of her again, only to feel bored for a while, and left.

Out of the Ten Kings' Mansion, she couldn't help but look back again, but after all, she didn't see anything.

In fact, she knew in her heart that Li Xuan had long lost hope of being the prince, and could only live as a corpse in the Ten Kings' Mansion for the rest of her life.

Why do you have to do this for him?

Get used to it, she was redeemed by him after all.

……

The carriage came to a slow stop at the Dozheng Square.

Shi Zhong saw that Da Xi Yingying was in a bad mood, and asked carefully: "Lady, do you want the villain to find a beautiful boy to ......?"

"Okay, you go and tie up Xue Pingzhao."

"This ...... After all, he is in the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu's mansion......"

As they spoke, the master and servant turned around and saw a beautiful young man looking at them at the entrance of the alley.

~~

Xue Bai walked to the attic, turned his head to the two guards sent to him by Yang Yuyao and said, "Please wait here. ”

Da Xi Yingying listened, stopped going upstairs, turned around and smiled at him: "Aren't you afraid that I will eat you?" ”

"I can't ask for it."

"Huh."

Da Xi Yingying smiled reluctantly and didn't speak again.

She felt that there was a sense of oppression on Xue Bai's body, which made her very uncomfortable.

For example, when she came back to play with a beautiful boy, she enjoyed the pleasure of power, and then she was no longer the lowly and lowly captive, but the master of the high.

But in the face of Xue Bai, she felt that she was being scrutinized and seen through, and she had a sense of shame that she didn't wear clothes.

Even if Xue Bai wasn't looking at her, she wanted to pull the strap a little higher.

"Your grandfather still owes me 5,000 guan." Da Xi Yingying said as soon as she sat down.

She had a smile on her face, looking a little aggressive.

Xue Bai said: "Are you Li Xuan's person?" ”

Da Xi Yingying frowned, a little caught off guard, and calmly responded: "I don't know what you're talking about, do you want to owe money and not pay it back?" ”

"You want to check me, because I am the son of Xue Rust, and Xue Rust was killed by them in order to support Li Xuan?"

Da Xi Yingying calmed down, tried to find her rhythm, and said, "Why don't you call Grandpa?" ”

Xue Bai said: "You will not have a future, Li Linfu is more likely to ascend the throne than Li Xuan." Don't you know how much you have? ”

"You ......"

"Opening a luxury casino in Chang'an, do you think you are very powerful, or do you think Li Heng is very powerful? Jingzhao Mansion, Wannian County, and Nanya Sixteen Guards did not check you, it was nothing more than Li Linfu who regarded Concubine Wu Hui and her family as a fellow party and allowed you to make some money. But you have made a lot of money, and you really think that you have your own hands and eyes, and you dare to mix in everything. In the face of power, the first thing to be crushed into powder is a chess piece like you. ”

Da Xi Yingying clenched her fists and wanted to speak.

Xue Bai interrupted her again.

Li Linfu was anxious, Yang Chen's letter of salt law smashed his sore feet, he hated someone more trusted by the saint than him, and better at managing money than him. He has found out that this method was given to Yang Yan by me, and he doesn't believe that a young man has such a political vision, 'There must be a pusher behind Xue Bai, we must find this person', he will tell you like this tomorrow......"

Da Xi Yingying was once again disrupted by her train of thought.

She realized that Xue Bai had come prepared, he had planned everything, prepared his words, caught her off guard, and let her be taken away by him.

You have to step out and take the initiative.

Xue Bai had already stood up and was about to leave, leaving one last sentence at the same time.

His tone was calm, but there was a sense of threat.

"I'll come back tomorrow, and then you can tell me everything you heard in the Right Minister's Mansion, if there is any half-truth...... When you suffer, you will know how powerless Li Xuan really is. ”

Da Xi Yingying stood up and said, "We haven't finished talking yet......"

Xue Bai had slowly walked down the stairs.

Da Xi Yingying's eyes were full of doubts, thinking about what his last sentence meant, why it seemed to be saying "give you a chance".

In the conversation that happened in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, how could the son of Xue Rust be able to tell if it was true or false?

Is the power of those people so terrible?

~~

Early the next morning.

Da Xi Yingying sat in the attic early and looked at the direction of Fengwei Building until Shi Zhong ascended the building.

"Is Xue Bai here?"

"He usually doesn't come, lady, the villain thinks he should be lying to us. The right phase has made a move, and he won't be able to jump for long. Shi Zhong said: "Let's clean up and prepare to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Da Xi Yingying shook her head, glanced into the distance, and suddenly turned around and went down the attic.

"Don't come along."

She learned one thing from Xue Bai, that is, sometimes if you want to check something, you can ask directly.

……

In the alley, Du Wulang was leading his horse, and suddenly a figure hurriedly bumped into him in front of him.

"Hey. Hey, it's you? ”

"Do you know who I am?" Da Xi Yingying asked.

She knew that Du Wulang was a little stupid, and she had identified him from the beginning as extraordinary, rather than thinking that he was not stupid.

And everything that happened afterwards showed that that extraordinary identity was indeed a member of the remnants of the abolished prince.

"Actually, I know."

Du Wulang scratched his head and looked away, afraid to see Da Xi Yingying's overflowing fullness, and said honestly: "Xue Bai told me that the female owner of the casino often has a cool meal next door, that ...... It's big, I mean it's big. Anyway, as soon as he described it, I knew it was you. ”

Da Xi Yingying felt that he was a good man, and finally regained her calm smile and asked, "What else did he say?" ”

"He said let me be careful, you have a lot of backing behind you."

Da Xi Yingying asked: "You also have a share in robbing Xue Ling in the Kangjia Restaurant that day?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

Da Xi Yingying observed it, this nerd is usually a little flustered, so it is not easy to see when he lies.

She had to test again, and said, "You ......"

Du Wulang took two steps back.

"Don't talk to me, you sold the restaurant to us, everyone is a neighbor, can we get along well in the future?"

"Get along?"

"Yes, wait until the evening, Xue Bai will make it clear to you and be a good neighbor."

Du Wulang hurriedly led the horse away, tilting his head sideways, never daring to look at her.

~~

It was nearly noon, and the right prime minister's house.

Jiwen took out a piece of female clove and put it in his mouth, shaking his feet nervously.

Since he was released from prison, he has hoped to avenge his son, and he knows very well who his killer is. The right minister wants to find out Xue Bai's behind-the-scenes instructions first, and Ji Wen has also figured it out, he really should investigate, and the person who killed his son also has a share.

It's a pity that at the beginning of the year, the right minister was busy with national affairs and only handed over the matter to others.

Unexpectedly, before the Right Prime Minister's Mansion moved, Xue Bai jumped out first and instigated Yang Xuan to start collecting salt taxes, although the sage had not yet agreed, but this was clearly to dig the roots of the Right Minister!

All in all, he can't wait.

Finally, the door to the chamber was pushed open, and Gwen walked to the lobby.

On the other side of the path a woman came in a curling way, and before she arrived, she came to Geven's side, and walked side by side with him.

He glanced at it, swallowed his saliva, and his heart beat violently inexplicably. Half of the hatred of killing the son that originally haunted his mind turned into a thought.

Farther on, another middle-aged man in a light green official robe was already waiting there.

Ji Wen observed the aura of this man and woman, and finally sent a powerful person to cooperate with him to check Xue Bai this time.

The three of them entered the lobby together and saluted together.

"Pei Mian has seen the right phase."

"Da Xi Yingying has seen the right phase."

"Ji ...... Givin has seen the right phase. ”

~~

In the evening, Fengwei Building.

"Owner, the food box has been sent back."

"Give it to me."

Du Yan took out a note from the food box and beckoned to Xue Bai.

The two now have a tacit understanding, and they will understand each other with a single action.

Xue Bai read the note, walked out of the attic, walked to the lobby, beckoned to Du Wulang, and said, "Let's go together." ”

"Can I not go?" Du Goro was reluctant.

"I'm not here often, so I'll take you to say hello to your neighbors."

"Oh."

The two walked into the courtyard next door and boarded the small pavilion.

Da Xi Yingying was already sitting there with sencha.

Xue Bai sat down calmly and said, "I heard that Ji Wen has thought of a good way to find a crime and send the Du family to Jingzhao Mansion for trial?" ”

Da Xi Yingying's hand shook, and the tea wet the hem of her skirt.
