Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1086 I’m afraid this is the root cause

Shen Zian's tone was extremely sincere, even with a hint of pleading.

Just like when Wang Shi went north, he scraped together to collect food, grass, clothing and clothes for the soldiers.

But this time, he was worried about thousands of people affected by the disaster.

And he pinned all his hopes on the profit from the batch of drinks ordered by Beiyan.

Seeing that Bai Mingwei was speechless, he continued to lobby: "Mingwei, I know this is embarrassing for you."

"It's unreasonable to say it. So many people in the imperial court can't solve the problem, but you are asked to solve it. This is a bit of a fantasy."

"However, this is our last hope and the only action we take out of desperation. I just ask you to do your best."

Bai Ming looked at Shen Zian slightly, and after a moment, he slowly said: "Sir, before you, His Highness the Crown Prince also came to see me."

"The answer I gave you is the same as the answer I gave to His Majesty the Crown Prince. The reason why I got the sample wine is because I took advantage of His Majesty's oral instructions to take advantage of the situation."

"The drink order Beiyan needs is so big. Let's not forget that we can't find Jin Chaozui who disappeared. Even if we find it, they may not have the ability."

Shen Zian's face showed determination: "This batch of goods must be handed over no matter what, otherwise Jiangbei will be devastated and the people will not be able to survive."

Bai Ming showed a slightly embarrassed look: "Sir, if I had this ability, even if you didn't come to me, I would still be obligated."

Shen Zian looked desperate: "I understand your difficulties. I still ask you to think of a solution."

Having said that, if Bai Mingwei refuses again, it will appear that he is taking advantage of Qiao.

So, she spoke slowly: "It's strange that Jin Chaozui disappeared without warning. Sir, have you ever thought about why Jin Chaozui behaved like this?"

Shen Zhi'an pondered for a moment, and then said: "There are rumors that Qin Fengye made a suggestion to His Majesty, and wanted Jin Chaozui to hand over this batch of wine without paying any money."

Bai Ming showed a slightly enlightened look: "Sir, in my opinion, this is the root cause. The imperial court didn't pay a penny for the goods worth tens of thousands of taels, but they just wanted Jin Chaozui to be blamed for this. Who can leave this matter alone?" Are you willing?"

Shen Zian looked sad: "But now there is no trace of the drunk people. Even if the court is willing to pay, they can't be found to discuss it."

Bai Mingwei analyzed: "Sir, the person who tied the bell must untie it. If you are drunk now, it is because you don't want to be wronged and you hide it, and it was Grand Master Qin who raised this matter."

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid I won't be able to find Jin Chaozui. Now the Ministry of Revenue is also looking for Jin Chaozui, and His Royal Highness is also looking for them. Why not ask His Majesty for an imperial edict and let both parties work together?"

Shen Zian was deep in thought and then said: "As the saying goes, bystanders are clear. Ming Wei's words made me think clearly."

Bai Mingwei said: "Sir, I am just discussing the matter. However, when Master Yuan proposed to purchase such a large quantity of goods, it seemed to be deliberately difficult."

"Master Yuan and I are not close friends, but we are engaged. I'll try to see if I can get any information about Jin Chaozui from him, but there's no guarantee that I can."

Shen Zian narrowed his eyes: "Mingwei means that Yuan Xun is probably related to Jin Chaozui?"

Bai Mingwei shook his head quickly: "Sir, I didn't mean that. I just think it's a bit strange that Mr. Qianjiao Yuan said he purchased hundreds of thousands of jars of wine, and then immediately disappeared when he was drunk."

Shen Zian stood up: "I understand Mingwei's meaning. I am here to represent all my colleagues and the people of Jiangbei. Thank you very much."

Bai Mingwei stood up and saluted: "Sir, walk slowly."

Shen Zian nodded slightly and immediately left the post house.

Bai Ming looked at Shen Zian's leaving figure slightly, with a fleeting light in his eyes.

……

After coming out of the post house, Shen Zian went into the palace to see Emperor Yuan Zhen.

When Wang Gonggong led him to Chengming Hall, the hall was in a mess and memorials were thrown everywhere.

He took a quick glance and found that these memorials, without exception, were all from Jiangbei.

Emperor Yuan Zhen was slapping his head with a tired look on his face.Shen Zian quickly saluted: "Long live the greetings."

Emperor Yuan Zhen said feebly: "You'd better have good news, otherwise just shut up!"

Shen Zian knelt on the ground and said nothing.

The hall fell into a deathly silence, and even the rustling of the leaves in the west wind outside the window could be clearly heard.

In the end, it was Emperor Yuan Zhen who couldn't help it.

He sat up straight and said in a sullen voice: "Why don't you speak? Are you mute?!"

Shen Zian quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, I forgive you, but the news I want to say is not good. I dare not open my mouth."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was about to get furious, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary.

So he said: "Go on, I will allow you to speak."

Shen Zian kowtowed and then spoke loudly: "Your Majesty, although Jin Chaozui has not been found, I have discovered the most likely reason for Jinchao Zui's disappearance."

Emperor Yuan Zhen raised his eyelids: "Oh?"

Shen Zian spoke cautiously: "Jin Chaozui probably heard that Grand Master Qin wanted to make a fool of himself, so he hid his traces overnight."

"Your Majesty, all businessmen are profit-seeking, especially big businessmen. These people are extremely stingy. If he loses hundreds of thousands of taels, wouldn't it cost them their lives?"

Emperor Yuan Zhen suddenly became furious: "That's nonsense! How could Jin Chaozui know about the secret discussion between Grand Master Qin and me?!"

Shen Zian knelt on the ground, terrified.

Seeing his appearance, Emperor Yuan Zhen calmed down a little.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yuan Zhen fell into deep thought.

Isn't the prince the current major shareholder of Zui?
The prince gets dividends from Jin Chaozui. If the court causes Jin Chaozui to lose hundreds of thousands taels, the prince will not get the dividends.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that the prince will go to inform Jin Chaozui.

And Qin Fengye is the prince's maternal ancestor, so it's not surprising that the prince knows Qin Fengye's thoughts.

That's it!

Thinking of this, the veins on Emperor Yuan Zhen's forehead throbbed violently.

This prince is simply a white-eyed wolf who has taken advantage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage. In order not to suffer losses in his own interests, he actually colluded with Jin Chaozui!
Bastards!

"I've thought about it, and what Shen Aiqing said makes sense. But if I give you a high official and a good salary, I won't raise a useless thing, right?"

"What I want is a solution, not your bad mouth that tells you bad news! If you don't have an idea, get out of here!"

Shen Zian was still respectful and careful, and he spoke even more cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have some plans, but I need to ask you for an imperial edict first."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was extremely impatient: "What imperial edict?"

Shen Zian was even more cautious: "I sincerely request your Majesty to draw up an imperial edict so that the Ministry of Revenue can assist His Royal Highness in handling the matter of today's drunkenness."

Emperor Yuan Zhen agreed without hesitation: "This matter is easy to handle, I can give it to you now."

Shen Zian said again: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was furious: "If you fart, hurry up, it won't end!"
