This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

"Mr. Shangguan is really courageous."

Lu Hanjiang sighed: "Don't you see what the fate of Wen Xinhou of Qin is. Even if he has Tao Zhugong's wisdom, the fate is nothing but retiring to the mountains and forests. How do you think you are compared to your ancestors?"

Merchant meddling with the affairs of the court has never had a good result. Fan Li is one of the few people who has a good death, but this is also due to his early birth. Few can end well.

"I have little talent and learning, so naturally I dare not compare myself with my predecessors. It's just that the water is deep and cold. Now that the ship has unanchored, at least there is a place to stay. I don't think I can use my body to resist the strong wind and waves. That's like a car with arms."

Shangguan Shaoqin was humble, but he also felt somewhat helpless when he spoke like this.

"Isn't that right?" Lu Hanjiang raised his brows: "No matter how long the East Palace's hands are, Mr. Shangguan is in the Jianghu, and they can't do anything about it. Or, does Mr. really have Ling Yunzhi in his chest?"

"Ling Yun Zhi can't talk about it. If I have that kind of ambition, I won't just be a registered student under the teacher's school."

Shangguan Shaoqin smiled and said: "It is true that it is easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the boat. Besides, I am worried that it is not only the Highness of the East Palace, but also you Jinyiwei."

As he said that, he let out a long sigh: "The change of the throne, the bloody incidents of seizing the heir, there are countless things in the past and present, and now I am on the list of entanglements. Jin Yiwei is really willing to let go of such a big contribution?"

Lu Hanjiang rubbed his nose, but replied calmly: "Indeed, with such ability, sir, your head is worth at least a seat of a thousand households."

Once the concubine falls, there will be no eggs under the overturned nest, and it is certain that the Shangguan family will be finished. Shangguan Shaoqin is half of the East Palace's money bag. If it is caught, the credit will not be small.

However, Lu Hanjiang wondered again: "It's only been a few years since Her Highness the Crown Princess was welcomed back to the capital, but why did Mr. Shangguan fall into Lord Qiu's eyes so early in the morning?"

"Because I met another troublesome person when I was under the teacher's school."

Although it was a bit embarrassing to say, Shangguan Shaoqin's tone was free and easy. Similarly, what he said was like thunder on the ground: "That Your Highness not only has arrangements for the righteous way, but she also left some handwriting for the evil way."

Although Shangguan Shao hand-picked it so far, Lu Hanjiang immediately thought of it, besides Xuantianjiao, which other school can make the princess so caring.

With just one eye contact, both of them saw through each other's unspoken meaning. Shangguan Shaoqin cupped his hands and said, "I didn't notice it in the next moment. It's too late when I come to my senses. The capital and Beidi, Shangguan's family is now There are two books in total, and both sides overlap."

Lu Hanjiang smiled and said: "Mr. Shangguan handed over the account books to us, which is considered a great achievement. It is always possible to change the way of life. Is it possible that you still plan to sell it for a price?"

"It's hard to survive, how dare you wait and see."

Shangguan Shaoqin shook his head and said: "Even if you take the account books now, at most you will cut off the East Palace's financial resources. They may shrink their power, but it's not a matter of breaking the bones."

"Tsk, is that so?" Lu Hanjiang smacked his lips: "If that's the case, then Mr. Shangguan will have a bit of difficulty in surviving."

To the extent that the above-mentioned official Shaoqin is now involved, these two account books are not enough to be a life-saving talisman. There is a high probability that Jin Yiwei will happily accept the evidence, and then send him to the imperial prison along with it.

Shangguan Shaoqin himself knew about this, so he did not let go of the account book, not because of whimsy, but because he planned to use it as a cornerstone to get enough credit for saving his life from Donggong and Xuantianjiao.

I'm afraid this is the reason why Qiu Qingyun would let the other party go. Shangguan Shaoqin's "insider" doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Once it is activated, it will definitely hit hard.

As for the loyalty of the other party, this is completely out of consideration. For a person like Shangguan Shaoqin, if the interests are properly weighed, loyalty will naturally be there.

From a practical point of view, in the battle between the Eastern Palace and Jin Yiwei, the latter has a [-]% chance of winning, and the poor [-]% in the end is still counted on the old emperor. Unless the old man changes his mind, the princess has no chance at all.

This is also the opinion of most people in the court today, especially after Luo Yuanjing accepted Lu Hanjiang as a disciple, which eased the conflict between the Academy and Jin Yiwei, the situation of the East Palace was almost worse.

Under this premise, it is completely reasonable for Shangguan Shaoqin to choose Jinyiwei.

Lu Hanjiang said with great interest: "I see that Mr. Shangguan seems to be calm and composed. I think he already has a plan to save his life in his chest. Can you explain a thing or two to me?"

"It's just a long line to catch big fish. Fortunately, Shangguan's family traveled all over the world, and there is nothing else. There are many ways to do business." There are already signs to follow.”

"Really? Please tell me clearly, sir." Lu Hanjiang said.

"Since many years ago, Beidi has been buying weapons from all over the world through the way of the subordinates." Shangguan Shaoqin said.

"It's not surprising. After all, they are forces in the Jianghu, and they are also the leaders of the Northland Demon Dao. It is reasonable to consume more weapons."

Lu Hanjiang stroked his chin and said, "It's just that in the huge northern land, there are so many blacksmith shops that are not enough for them, and they still have to go to the Central Plains to collect them?"

"There are so many of them, there is nothing wrong with it." Shangguan Shaoqin said with a smile, the two of them agreed, and then heard him say: "In addition to weapons, they also took a lot of iron ore from me, please go away." As for craftsmen with good craftsmanship, as for what to do, I don’t know what to do.”

Lu Hanjiang glanced at Shangguan Shaoqin in surprise. Although this court can't help mining, it doesn't allow private sales. Generally speaking, mined minerals must be sold to the government, or they can only be sold to others after registration.

Moreover, the imperial court couldn’t help the mines to collect taxes, and the taxation of private mines was extremely heavy. Under normal circumstances, there was no profit at all, so most of the mines were government-business cooperation, and finally changed from private to public.

Shangguan's family is wealthy, and it is not surprising that Lu Hanjiang has some mining business, but he actually leaked these things to Beidi without permission. , A full family of slashers can't escape.

Shangguan Shaoqin saw what was in Lu Hanjiang's mind, he smiled, and then said: "Over the past few years, I have collected a lot of good horses from foreign races, and the big heads were also taken away by Beidi. By the way, say In this matter, I have to ask the adults to come forward and be accommodating."

"It's easy to say, let's split it between [-] and [-]%. From General Helian, I will write a letter in the name of Mr. Lu." Lu Hanjiang waved his hands indifferently.

Shangguan Shaoqin was surprised and said: "Sanqi? My lord is so polite, I really don't know what to do."

"Huh?" Lu Hanjiang raised his head from deep thought, rolled his eyes at the other party and said, "What are you thinking, I'm seven and you three."

"."

Shangguan Shaoqin's face froze, and he said helplessly: "It's okay, at least there is still [-]% left, it's better than those guys from Beidi who are robbing."

Lu Hanjiang pondered for a moment, looked at Shangguan Shaoqin in puzzlement and said: "Sir, these things you did, to put it mildly, leaving a whole body is already for the face of Old Master Luo, you still want to live like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"I also know that this matter will lose my head. I can trust the one from the Northland. These things will be in the hands of the Shangguan family. If you adults want to do something, I can help you too." Shangguan Shaoqin said.

"Well, if that's the case, it's not impossible to make meritorious deeds."

Lu Hanjiang nodded, and then said: "However, it's important to save face. If you don't suffer any crimes, sir, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of discussion in the world. He is obviously a wolf, but in the end it is said that we conspired to force him to rebel. It's really ugly."

"It is precisely because of this that I have come here to ask your lords for a favor."

Shangguan Shaoqin sighed: "The Shangguan family went astray. In fact, it was the Le family and the Le family behind them who bewitched the young master Shangguan Beicang. The son did not teach his father's fault. I endured the pain and righteously killed my relatives and left my wife and family as well. The only sons have been beheaded, and those people should be able to raise their hands and let them go to the officials."
