Lin Zhixiu lost the freedom to go out of the house alone, there was no chance at all!
She chewed the dried sweet potato angrily, and felt discouraged. It was worse than when she was at Lin's house...

It's not easy to play hard and soft with Li Cheng.

Rushing with Wu Dong, but Wu Dong disappeared without a trace on the grounds that he was doing "big things" outside.

It's not about what to do, it's just that the feeling of being restricted is too bad.

She can't go out, but she can call for as many people as she wants.Moreover, Li Cheng personally brought people here, didn't he?Today I brought back Li Xu and Yuan Jing.

Li Xu was wearing a navy blue silk cotton robe, jade hairpin hairpin, thick-soled cotton boots, and a thin silk cotton cloak, as low-key as ever.

However, in the past few days, it can be said that he has gone smoothly, and he has done a few things completely.Complacent in my heart, my expression is more confident and clear than before.

He followed behind Li Cheng and Yuan Jing leisurely, with a smile on his lips.

Li Cheng hugged Yuan Jing's shoulders tightly, chattering for some reason... even before the person arrived, laughter came in.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Lin Zhixiu sitting there...

Li Cheng quickly let go of Yuan Jing's arm, and walked in front of her in two steps, "Axiu, I'm back! Second brother and Yuan Jing are coming to eat at home!"

Seeing Li Xu, Lin Zhixiu quickly stood up: "Second brother!"

Li Xu smiled: "He came without saying hello, do you have our meal?"

Before she could speak, Li Chengcheng yelled, "Of course! Sit down, sit down, Dongyun pours tea... Oh, don't pour tea, just go to eat and drink! Haha... Axiu, what have you been up to today?" ?”

Seeing him having a good time, Lin Zhixiu felt even worse after holding back for a whole day, complaining, "What else can I do? I can't go anywhere!"

"Hey, where do you want to go? I'll be with you tomorrow! Oh, in two days, the second brother is going out!"

"Where is Second Brother going?" Lin Zhixiu asked.

Li Xu's face "The emperor asked me to investigate the salt affairs..."

Lin Zhixiu was taken aback, "Salt?"

Li Xu said, "Yeah." He looked very complacent, "For so many years, or just this year or so, I have done some serious business... The salt business is the most interesting thing."

Lin Zhixiu said, "But...salt affairs are too complicated! Salt tax, licenses, court and local divisions. Production, sales, transportation and storage, there are too many aspects involved... It's intricate!"

"Heh, when my siblings talk about it, they seem to know something about it."

Li Cheng was very proud, "My Axiu is so smart!"

"Where am I smart? My grandparents' family has been doing this for generations." Lin Zhixiu said.

"Then my Axiu is a god of wealth?!" Li Cheng flattered her.

"My grandfather took it from his great-grandfather, but when he was 30 years old, he left on his own initiative. According to my mother, one is that I was really scared in my heart, staring so enviously, and felt uneasy. Another one, my grandparents are only my mother and a daughter, and they are not related to the clan, so I don't want to spend too much energy on it!"

Li Xu stretched out his thumb, "That's not easy! It's a man who can make up his mind to retreat, and retreat safely and cleanly!"

"I heard that I left after giving up a lot, but later..." Let the Lin family swallow it.

Moreover, in the end, I couldn't protect my mother... I was a little sentimental for a while.

Li Cheng knew it, so he quickly took her hand, "Axiu, don't be sad...everything depends on me."

Seeing how sweet the two are, Yuan Jing grimaced and showed his white teeth.

Li Xu said seriously: "There are too many disadvantages in the current salt affairs! It seems that everything is in the hands of the emperor, but the actual money that has been put into the treasury is pitiful! I have started researching. Last year, I went to the south because of the case of the Li family. What I heard and saw along the way... plus the few officials I got to know, after talking freely, I got some new ideas..."

He drank a glass of wine, and remembered that day, in the drizzle, everyone sat together, half drunk, expressing their opinions impassionedly, arguing with each other, blushing and thick necks after arguing, and laughing after a while, that was really true readily!
"After I came back, I wrote a summary of my ideas and sent them to Mr. Guo Wenyuan in Xishan. After reading it, Mr. Guo was very happy and sent me a copy of his years of experience. After reading it... I was really enlightened! A lot I didn't expect it, I didn't understand it, and suddenly, I seemed to understand it! So, this time, no matter how difficult it is, I have to go!"

Li Cheng nodded, "Second brother, you must be fine!"

But Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Second brother, you have no rights and no one. For such a big matter, it depends on a dozen disciples and old Mr. Guo who has retired for more than ten years, plus a few... boastful officials. , can formulate a new salt affairs? In my opinion, you have not done anything yet, and people will silence you first!"

Li Cheng quickly pulled her away, "Axiu, don't scare the second brother!"

"This is not a scare! The matter of salt affairs has been so important since ancient times. It can be analyzed by any official. The monarchs of every dynasty are also well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of it, but they can change and There are very few centralized ones. Why? Because too many people’s interests are involved.”

Li Xu nodded.

"If you want to collect the benefits to the imperial court without copying the homes of a few noble families, it will definitely be impossible."

He smiled ghostly again, "But if you want to touch these people... If they don't kill you, they will force the emperor to kill you!"

Li Xu agreed, nodding frequently, "What you said makes sense."

Lin Zhixiu looked at Li Xu amusingly, "The emperor left this matter to the second brother... It seems that he wants to use the second brother severely!"

Let him work hard to offend people...

Done, the emperor will benefit.

If you can't do it well, come back and punish the crime.

There is danger, push it out as a scapegoat.

Li Xu was a little embarrassed, and touched his nose with a wry smile, "Even so, I'm going!"

Li Cheng was a little worried, "Second brother, you still want to ask your father for power and authority. In addition, I will give you another guard team. What's the matter, we must make the momentum bigger."

Li Xu was not pretentious, nodded and said, "Okay! Your people, my brother will keep them! But they have to bring their own dry food, my brother can't afford it! Hehe..."

Li Cheng said with a smile: "You don't need to tell me, I've thought about it too! My brother has paid for all the expenses this time."

Li Xu was a little embarrassed... This was in front of his younger siblings!Peeking at Lin Zhixiu, her ears were a little red.

Yuan Jing knew that his master would be embarrassed, so he secretly smiled, his shoulders trembling...

Lin Zhixiu thought for a while, "Second brother, in my opinion, you can go to Uncle An's to ask for some help."

"..."

Li Xu was startled, but his expression did not change. He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Zhixiu quietly.

"This one, the people in Uncle An's hands are different from those sent to you by our lord. Those people have a lot of experience and are ruthless in their methods. They know the context of the court officials, and they can use all kinds of insidious methods smoothly. Son. This is not comparable to the regular guards in the hands of our lord."

While talking, he looked at Li Xu, who was looking at him with twinkling eyes.

Lin Zhixiu said indifferently: "One more thing, Uncle An, he is pertinent and impartial in doing things, and has won the trust of the emperor. If he intervenes in this matter, no matter what, he will defend you one or two..."

Li Xu looked at Lin Zhixiu for a while, and then said: "Uncle An, he won't interfere with general affairs. He only listens to the emperor's orders. If I go to find him, he will probably refuse. Besides, father Huanghe... other people, I'm afraid they will be paranoid too..."

Lin Zhixiu said: "You are for the sake of the Li family, not for your own self-interest... How could Uncle An refuse? Don't underestimate his support, advance, retreat... It's all easy to use!"

She smiled mischievously again, "Princess An and Xiu'er have a very good friendship. If you need Xiu'er to intersperse, just talk!"

Li Cheng nodded again and again, "Aunt An and Axiu have a really good relationship. They send people here every day, sending them here and there!"

Only then did Yuan Jing realize something, and looked at Lin Zhixiu in surprise.His hands were trembling slightly... His beautiful diamond-shaped eyes glowed with a different kind of brilliance!

Li Xu thought firmly: Uncle An, has always been a special existence. On weekdays, he is very low-key, does nothing, has no real power in his hands, and has a disability...

Therefore, many people do not pay attention to him.

However, there are so many important events and vicious events behind him...

Li Xu only said softly, "I... think about it."

After drinking and eating, Li Cheng sent someone to take the two of them home.

As soon as Yuan Jing got into the car, he looked at Li Xu with piercing eyes.Without blinking, I watched for a long time...

Li Xu frowned, "Have you seen enough?!"

Yuan Jing asked softly: "Master, what does Miss Lin mean, is that what Yuan Jing thought she meant?"

Li Xu glared at him, "Where does the Lord know what you mean?!"

Yuan Jing suddenly turned from the side, knelt at his feet, and approached his face, "Master! That's what Yuan Jing never dared to think about!" His expression became a little ferocious.

"Heh!" Li Xu smiled lightly...

There are oil lamps in the carriage, and the dim lights, clustered in clusters, are reflected in the beautiful eyes of the original scene, so beautiful...

After staring at it for a while, he said softly: "You still don't know what's going on with your father? No family, no power, no wealth. There is no help in the court, no hands. There are...just a man who wants to kill The father of the parent and child! What do you rely on..."

Yuan Jing shook his hand, "Grandpa, when we were young... we were able to eat enough, not get cold, the house didn't leak when it rained, the windows and doors could be closed in winter, and no one picked on us, that's happiness. Yes. But look... we are now! You can protect yourself, and you can still do what you like... If so, why don't you go any further?! Huh?!"

"Fool!" Li Xu scolded him, "Is that going one step further? That's... going to heaven!" He leaned into Yuan Jing's ear and said.

"Master, you deserve it! In this world, you deserve it!" Yuan Jing was so excited that tears flowed down his face...

"Didn't you always want to live in peace with the Lord?!"

"Yuan Jing refuses to accept it! Why? Why?!" Yuan Jing's beautiful face became ferocious again, and he clenched Li Xu's hand tightly, "Why should he?! Why should they?! No justice... Let's grab it!"

Li Xu had never seen... the original scene like this.

My heart was sour and sweet, and my heart was surging, but I hummed: "Hmph, although you have been pretending to be docile in front of this king, in fact, this king has known for a long time that you are... very wild! I didn't expect...the heart is so big!"

Yuan Jing pleaded: "Master, let's fight?! Whether you sit on that throne or are executed by Ling Chi, Yuan Jing will accompany you! How about you, Master? Let's do it?!"

"Hehe... Can I say no? I listen to you for many things..."

Yuan Jing grinned wildly, revealing his white teeth and fine wrinkles around his eyes...
