After all, in this era, the status of merchants was very low, and they were easily targeted by some nobles. The nobles also liked to control these merchants and let them do certain things.
This is naturally quite useful to them. This is how many nobles' money comes from.
Businessmen will also be willing to do this and lose part of their profits, but they can get more profits by getting help from these nobles.
As long as he is not a greedy noble, they all like him very much.
After all, in this place where imperial power is paramount, having no connections or connections is the most dangerous thing.
Therefore, they will also want to have a good relationship with the royal family, and even become the spokesperson of the royal family, which is also a very honorable thing.
What Xu Anting did was a bit unexpected, but to be able to reach this point in his business without the support of the nobles and royal family, Xu Anting is definitely a wonderful person.
Thinking of this, Qin Yun also looked at Xia Renchen, wanting to know more.
"You also know how difficult it is for him to be able to do this to this extent without relying on the royal family and nobles."
Qin Yun nodded. Qin Yun would not believe that no one was eyeing him if he had achieved this level of success. However, Xu Anting did nothing at all and instead made his property more and more abundant.
Qin Yun would not believe such a person unless he had some special abilities.
Apart from anything else, it is not easy to maintain such a foundation. Under this situation, Qin Yun is even more certain that Xu Anting may really have some collusion with Xinyue Tower.
After all, it is definitely impossible for one person to hold on to such a large industry. What if the Crescent Tower supports Xu Anting behind the scenes?
Doesn’t all this make a lot of sense?
Qin Yun expressed his guess and looked at Xia Renchen.
Xia Renchen frowned, and then said: "You are right, there are indeed some problems with him being able to hold on."
"However, according to my understanding, it is because of the care that my father takes for him."
"His Majesty?"
Qin Yun was a little stunned. This actually made him a little surprised that this matter would be even more confusing.
"Yes, although Xu Anting is not a member of the royal family and does not work for the royal family, my father does take good care of him."
Later, Xia Renchen also told Qin Yun a lot of things, giving Qin Yun some understanding.
It turned out that there was such an inside story, which made Qin Yun suspicious. Could there be something wrong with his guess? If this is really the case, I need to pay more attention to this matter.
Thinking of this, Qin Yun pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "If this is the case, has your Majesty ever told you why?"
Logically speaking, there is no need for Xia Zi to support such a person who does not help the royal family. Even if Xu Anting is very smart and Xia Zi is talented, he will not do this.
And, more importantly, even with Xia Zi's care, it is impossible to say that there will be no trouble at all.
"I don't know. My father didn't say that, but there are indeed some cares. For example, royal spies rarely go to explore this place."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun's pupils suddenly widened and he looked at Xia Renchen.
Xia Renchen nodded slightly to Qin Yun, indicating that this was indeed the case.
This is a bit strange. According to the responsibilities of this royal spy, they must carefully explore the entire Kyoto city. It is impossible for any flaws to appear. So why did the flaws appear in this place?
Now Qin Yun knew that it was Xia Zi's order, so...
Qin Yun had an absurd idea in his mind, but he still suppressed it. This was impossible.
The two speculated for a long time, but neither of them had an answer.
"So, I think it is very dangerous for you to investigate this matter, but as you said, this matter is very important. If some problems can be investigated, it will be a new harvest."
Xia Renchen looked at Qin Yun seriously, which was why he supported Qin Yun's investigation. He was also curious about what kind of inside story could make Xia Zi feel so relieved about Xu Anting.
Is it possible that Xia Zizi is really not worried about Xu Anting's betrayal?
"good."
Qin Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.
"I will investigate it seriously."
"Well, Xu Anting is not in Kyoto City for the time being, so there is no need to investigate him. Moreover, there are many experts around him. It is better not to alert others."
Xia Renchen looked at Qin Yun and told him that he did not want Qin Yun to investigate Xu Anting.
This Xu Anting, even he has some scruples.
"okay, I get it."
Afterwards, Qin Yun also said goodbye to Xia Renchen and left the third prince's residence.
Xia Renchen watched Qin Yun leave and sat thinking about this matter. For him, Qin Yun also brought him a very important message. There may be a lot hidden in it.
Not long after, a person appeared in the hall. Looking at Xia Renchen who was thinking deeply, this person was also slightly stunned.
"what happened?"
Xia Renchen raised his head and saw that the person coming was his brother Wang, the son of King Anding, the Xia Chen who was helping Qin Yun and the others.
"Brother Wang, Qin Yun came here just now."
"Oh? What is he doing here? What happened this time is a bit beyond expectations. I didn't expect that he could investigate so many things, and he also brought down the Minister of War. This man has really good abilities."
Xia Chen also spoke slowly, obviously aware of this matter.
"Well, he came here because of this matter."
Later, Xia Renchen told Xia Chen what happened, and Xia Chen was a little silent after listening.
After a long time, he sighed.
"It's really amazing. You can think of so many things. Even I have never thought of these possibilities."
Xia Chen also admired Qin Yun. After all, he had never thought about these things. We were all young people of the same age, but he could not see as much as Qin Yun.
This made Xia Chen somewhat frustrated, but this matter became more important.
"His guess is very reasonable. There may be something wrong with Xu Anting and Yichun Tower. Your Majesty may know something about it, but I'm afraid Your Majesty really doesn't know about this matter."
Xia Chen was naturally talking about the Minister of War. If Xia Zi knew about it, he would not let it go to this point. Everything else could be used for calculations, but this military supplies are no joke.
Xia Zi wouldn't do such stupid things.
