"How was your investigation?"
Putting down the salt book, Wei Shuyu had a solemn look on his face.
"Strange... really strange."
Ma Zhou put down the salt book and shook his head in confusion: "The price of salt in Jiangnan has skyrocketed, but not only has the government's salt not been sold out, there is still a lot of inventory left."
"What?"
Chu Suiliang shouted in shock: "The same is true for the area near Liangzhou I checked."
After saying this, the three of them fell into deep thought.
"What's the problem?"
Ma Zhou asked in confusion: "There is salt in the salt warehouse, so how did the price of salt rise?"
"Could it be that the government raised the price privately, causing the salt not to be sold?" Chu Suiliang thought for a while and asked.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Ma Zhou nodded: "But this is also the biggest doubt..."
“Who among the officials with any brains would raise the price of salt that high?”
"If the imperial court finds out, even the nine clans will not be destroyed!"
"One more thing, if it's just an official with a brain problem, that's all."
"Near Jiangnan and Liangzhou... there are more than a dozen state capitals and hundreds of important officials."
"It's impossible for everything to go wrong, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the place fell into silence again.
I really can’t figure it out.
"It looks like we have to make a trip in person."
Ma Zhou sighed and turned to look at Wei Shuyu: "Shuyu, we put the people first and this matter cannot be delayed."
Wei Shuyu nodded.
I thought that with my arithmetic skills, I could find problems in this salt book.
Who would have thought that there would be nothing wrong with the salt book.
This is really difficult to handle.
"Fine."
Wei Shuyu put the salt book in place: "Pack it up today and set off tomorrow."
The three of them left together.
"Cauldron, are you leaving?"
Cui Shenji and Fang Yiai immediately came forward.
They don't have the patience to look up salt books, so they casually flipped through two books and ran out for a walk.
"Um."
"Did you find anything?"
"No."
"How can there be no problem? Occasionally, the problem is huge."
"Can you still find out the problem?" Wei Shuyu rolled his eyes.
"Isn't it okay to look down on people?"
Cui Shenji was very unhappy: "The two books I just read have all been sold out in the past few months."
"That's not all."
"A lot of them were sold even with military supplies."
Um?
Wei Shuyu paused and turned his head sharply to look at Cui Shenji.
"what did you just say?"
"Is there a sacred tree?"
Snapped.
Wei Shuyu's backhand is just a fool.
"Oh, I remembered it."
Cui Shenji covered his head in grievance: "All the salt books I read are sold out."
"Really sold out?"
Wei Shuyu repeated it again.
"right."
Wei Shuyu looked at Fang Yiai again: "Where are those salt books you are looking at?"
"It's sold out."
Fang Yiai responded.
"has a problem."
Wei Shuyu said hello: "Let's go back and check it out."
He turned around and entered the house.
Chu Suiliang and Ma Zhou also felt strange.
In order to save time, they only looked through the salt books in Jiangnan and Liangzhou.
What was given to Cui Shenji and Fang Yiai were salt books from other states.
The price of salt near Jiangnan and Liangzhou has skyrocketed, but it cannot be sold, but it is out of stock in other prefectures?
There is obviously something wrong with this...
The three of them once again devoted themselves to diligent research.
At the same time, Shangshu came to the door.
Li Chengqian came towards him with a eunuch and a bodyguard. In front of him, Wu Qiqi was holding her pigtails and jumping up and down in a good mood.
"Little Jiji, little Ai'ai..."
Seeing the two of them walking arm in arm from the door of Shangshu Province, Wu Qiqi immediately ran up.
"Qiqi..."
The two guys were also very happy to see Wu Qiqi.
"Did you go to Fang Palace to do something?" Cui Shenji asked.
"do not talk."
Wu Qiqi glanced at Li Chengqian behind him.
"Oh, your mother, why did you bring him here?" Cui Shenji couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Li Chengqian.
He had betrayed and was involved in Li Chengqian's gambling house. This was not a small revenge.
"You use foul language!"
Wu Qiqi puffed up his cheeks.
"I didn't do it on purpose." Cui Shenji immediately explained.
Wu Qiqi didn't pay attention and lowered his voice: "He is here to win you over, deal with him."
"How?"
Fang Yiai said reluctantly: "He is the prince."
"I know you have a way."
"No no……"
The two guys shook their heads repeatedly.
"A lollipop." Wu Qiqi raised a finger.
The two goods continued to shake their heads.
"Two lollipops?"
The two goods shook their heads again.
"Then I'll go find Wei Shuyu."
Wu Qiqi tried to turn around.
"Don't...don't."
The two idiots hurriedly grabbed Wu Qiqi and said, "Why bother the big pot to do this kind of thing?"
"Yes, yes, just leave it to us." Fang Yiai agreed.
"It's agreed, two lollipops, no regrets."
"Repentance is a puppy."
You have a word with me, and I have a word with you.
"Okay, okay, two sticks are just two sticks. I've said what I said and it's hard to catch up!"
Only then did the two goods smile with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, he went to greet Li Chengqian with high spirits.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
The two goods saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
Li Chengqian said with a smile.
To win over people, your attitude must be in place.
"Thank you, Prince."
The two guys straightened up, looking like loyal ministers.
"Shenji..." Li Chengqian was about to speak.
"Sacred tree?"
Cui Shenji was shocked and said: "Your Highness, Huang Yunlou's gambling stall has nothing to do with me and I don't know."
Li Chengqian's mouth twitched.
Did I tell you about the gambling stall? Just leave it alone.
"Don't you mean Huang Yun Tower..."
Li Chengqian suppressed his anger, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cui Shenji again.
"Sacred tree?"
Cui Shenji was shocked again: "Your Highness, you are so weird that I have betrayed you, I will kill you or chop you up, it's up to you!"
"That's not what I mean..." Li Chengqian's cheeks began to twitch.
"Sacred tree?"
Cui Shenji showed a look of "horror": "Your Highness refuses to forgive me? I will go to Bihana to ask for forgiveness later."
"solitary……"
"Sacred tree?"
Cui Shenji replied again: "Your Highness, you want to beat me? I will beat you. If you don't resist, I will never resist."
Li Chengqian clenched his fists, looking like he was about to go berserk.
Is this kind of thing really worth wooing yourself?
This time before he spoke, Cui Shenji spoke again...
"Sacred tree? Your Highness, you..."
"Shut up!"
Li Chengqian roared loudly: "God, your mother's God, you are so God-like all the time, I don't even know you are called Shen Ji!"
"Your Highness, please do not be angry."
Fang Yiai immediately stepped forward and said, "Shenji either did it on purpose or he betrayed you a few days ago. He feels guilty and is a bit obsessed."
"Yes, yes..." Cui Shenji nodded repeatedly.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian's anger subsided, and he gave Fang Yiai a meaningful look.
Finally there is someone with a sane mind.
Cui Shenji betrayed him, and he didn't have much hope in return.
On the other hand, Fang Yiai can win over her.
"I have lost my temper. Fortunately, I love you for admonishing me..." Li Chengqian sighed.
Try to make your expression look as touching as possible.
"Not allowed, Your Highness."
Fang Yiai immediately bowed: "My Fang family is deeply favored by the emperor. This is what Yiai should do..."
Have you never eaten it or seen a pig running?
He just had to learn what Fang Xuanling usually did.
Seeing that the time was almost there, just when Fang Yiai wanted to cause trouble, Li Tai came...
"Haha, is Shangshu Province so lively today?"
