Li Chenan was shocked!
The fire in the dantian within the body has softened at this moment.

He had forgotten about that.

Duke Luo's Mansion, as one of the five major palaces of Ningguo, controls the six major salt fields of Ningguo.

After the Kyoto Incident, he became the regent of Ning State. Because of the empty treasury, he once invited the four major princes except Duke Huaiguo to meet him in the imperial study.

That day, he and his second uncle, Li Wenhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, put on a show to force the four major princes to pay taxes.

I still remember that Duke Luo stated on the spot that he would make up for 30 years of taxes. In addition, Duke Luo also expressed his intention to hand over the six major salt fields of Luo Mansion to the state.

During the Kyoto Incident, Duke Luo was with Ji Tai!

He is standing against himself!
After the Kyoto Incident ended and Ji Tai's family was crowned, the old Duke Luo made the decision to cut off his arm in order to protect himself. Li Chen'an thought that it would be fine with Duke Luo's house, so he did not pursue the responsibility of Duke Luo's house.

Just because of Zhong Li Ruoshui's illness, he left Kyoto in a hurry. The six major salt fields, except for the one in Shuzhou, continued to be managed by Luo Guogong's Mansion.

At this moment, what Chang is saying is that the salt in the hands of the old man may also involve Duke Luo's Mansion in Kyoto...

This attracted great attention from Li Chenan!

"Then where did his salt go?"

Chang Zai shook his head: "I don't know, but I once had a guess."

Master, I am referring to Li Chenan’s father, Qiao Zitong.

"How did he guess?"

"The master believes that the deserted people, who have always been short of salt, originally wanted to buy a large amount of salt from the Yue Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom, but in the past two years they have not purchased a pound of salt from the Yue Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom. It seems that there is suddenly no shortage..."

Li Chenan's eyes widened: "Sold to a deserter?"

It's very possible!
The border between Ning Country and Dahuang Country is very long, and it does not necessarily have to go through Yanyunguan or Death Valley.

Selling salt is extremely profitable!
Under the temptation of huge profits, it is not impossible for private salt dealers to open up a salt road leading to the deserted country!
"As far as I know, the Yanguan of Youzhou City is involved!"

Chang Zai shook his head again: "These salt officials, including Mr. Tian, ​​the prefect of Tian, ​​what they do is what they do on the surface, and they check everything accurately!"

"You mean... they use their power to sell salt and make money. Is this actually a maze deliberately set up by that old man?"

"That should be the case, otherwise Shangdaotai wouldn't have failed to rectify Mobei Road in these years. Mr. Shang just doesn't want to alert others."

Li Chenan took a sip of tea and said, "Shang Daotai... I remember his name is Shang Yuan. He is from the Shang family of Jiangnan Dao, and is a descendant of the former Prime Minister Shang."

"The Shang clan of Jiangnan Dao is now in prison. What kind of person is Shang Yuan?"

Chang Zai pondered for three breaths: "From the intelligence of the secret guards, Shangdaotai is an honest and upright official!"

"The Jiangnan Dao Shang family was destroyed. After Shang Daotai knew the news, he drank alone all night and wrote a line."

"What word?"

"Don't ask about your future, but ask about your original intention!"

As if he was worried that Li Chenan had other ideas about this businessman, Chang Zai added:
"The official administration of the entire Beimo Road is considered Qingming. Of course, Shangdao Tai also knows about the things that Magistrate Tian in Youzhou did. It is just because Tian Xiurong has not been touched for the time being because the old man behind it has not been found out."

"Bei Desert Road...is so poor!"

"But Shangdaotai is also trying its best to improve it. Last year, it even went to Jiangnan Road. It wanted to introduce businessmen from Jiangnan to Beimo Road. However, Beimo Road has high mountains and long roads, so it has not yet seen any results."

Li Chenan nodded, feeling that what he wanted to know was roughly the same.

At this moment, Chang remembered another thing and said:

"By the way, after receiving a secret report from the Great Wilderness Kingdom, Yang Sixian has now become the master of the Tianji Pavilion of the Great Wilderness Kingdom..."

"Young Master, do you still remember Yang Sixian?"

Of course Li Chenan remembers it.

That Yang Sixian who was walking around the world of the Fish and Dragon Society, who took him out of the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society, but took him outside the residence of the second prince Ning Zhixing, and almost killed him by Ning Zhixing!

That Yang Sixian who had one of his arms chopped off by his own sword and didn’t know who he was!

Of course, he now knows that Yang Sixian is the returnee.

But he didn't expect that the old man ran away to the Great Wilderness Country and became the master of the Tianji Pavilion!
"He was doing well in Ning Country, why did he go to the Wilderness Country?"

"What the hell is this Tianji Pavilion?"

"Tianji Pavilion is a newly established intelligence agency of the Great Wilderness Kingdom, similar to the Imperial City Department of the Ning Kingdom."

"As for what he went to the Wilderness Country to do...of course it was to collect intelligence for Ning Country."

Regarding Yang Sixian, Li Chenan felt a little complicated.This old man cannot be defined as a good person or a bad person.

But there is no doubt about his devotion to his mother.

Yang Sixian once said that if he had a granddaughter, he would definitely marry his granddaughter to Li Chenan.

But he didn't.

He is a lonely old man.

Li Chenan thought that after the fall of Ji Tai, the old man's mission was over. He should have retired in Yujing City or Guangling City, but he did not expect that he would go to the Great Wilderness Country again.

Since Tianji Pavilion is a newly established intelligence agency in the Great Wilderness Kingdom, Yu Wenfeng will definitely investigate his experience as the master of Tianji Pavilion.

"Mother's idea?"

Chang Zai pondered for a moment: "I don't know."

Li Chenan held the tea cup and thought for a while, "Pass my order to send him a few more good men from the hidden guards..."

"Remember, make sure to keep him safe!"

Li Chenan was very serious when he said this. At this moment, Chang felt that Li Chenan cared for Yang Sixian from the bottom of his heart.

There was some doubt in his heart.

This young master did such ridiculous things as catching dogs all over the city just to eat dog meat.

It stands to reason that someone who can do such a thing would not be a good person.

This is what the common people call a playboy, a bad boy, and a person who is not doing his job properly!
But after a conversation with Li Chenan, Li Chenan's words and demeanor made him feel very contradictory.

This young master knew about the problem of illegal salt selling in Youzhou and was extremely concerned about it. There was no frivolity in his words...

What kind of person is he?
Chang Zai is a little confused.

It's getting late.

Seeing that Li Chen'an didn't ask anything else, Chang Zai stood up and bowed, "Young Master, please rest now. I will leave!"

"Okay, you guys go back first."

Shopkeeper Tong and Chang Zai left the small wooden building.

Li Chenan drank two cups of tea alone. Zhongli Ruoshui had put away the account books and stood up to look at him.

"Chuchu is still waiting for you up there!"

Li Chenan grinned, stood up, took Zhong Li Ruoshui's hand and walked upstairs.

"Have a good time with Chu Chu, but don't torment her too much. Go ahead."

The two broke up upstairs.

Li Chenan walked to the door of Ning Chuchu's room and stood for a moment.

Ning Chuchu in the room had heard Li Chenan's footsteps.

The girl sat in front of the window and was very nervous.

She tugged at the hem of her clothes tightly, her heart pounding.

She turned her head and looked at the large bed, which was covered with a white silk scarf cut from Xiao Baozi.

Tonight, I am his!
Although there is no red makeup or red candle, there is this red lantern.

Sister Xiao said that the so-called ceremony is not important.

What matters is the unforgettable feeling of being in the clouds.

So wonderful!
Ning Chuchu didn't know what kind of beauty it would be, so she looked forward to it nervously.

Now, here he is.

Li Chenan opened the door.

Just when Ning Chuchu mustered up the courage to get up and was about to greet Li Chenan...

downstairs.

Suddenly there was a voice!
The night was very quiet.

That's loud!
"Prince Regent...come down and eat chicken!" (End of Chapter)
