He does not mean that.
Duan Wenjun couldn't help but be surprised.
Chai Jingyun's words are very contradictory.
Even though Emperor Shun had great prejudices against the four major families, he didn't trust them very much now.
However, it's not yet time to break up with them.
Therefore, even if Chai Jingyun is right, even if Emperor Shun doesn't want to see the Dai family, he can't show it openly.
The Dai family has always been the largest royal merchant in Suibu.
More than 80% of the annual cloth that Dashun paid tribute to Yan came from the Dai family.
Now that Mo State and Yan State are at war, it will definitely affect the court's attitude.
The annual tribute paid to the Yan State, whether it is tribute or not, is an unknown question.
Faced with such an uncertain situation, the Dai family will definitely pay special attention.
However, the Dai family in the capital did not receive any news that the imperial court might increase the demand for year-old cloth. So where did the Lin family get the news?
At that time, when Lin Zhengying mentioned the matter to Duan Wenjun, he said that the news was sent by his brother-in-law Wang Quanzheng.
He overheard the conversation of several big shots.
This is the guess of those big shots.
Wang Quanzheng is just a minister of household affairs.
How could it be such a coincidence that I heard this news?
If this is true, the Dai family has many eyes and ears, but why haven't they gotten the slightest clue?
It wasn't until Lin Shu'er came to the capital and purchased raw materials for nearby cloth that the Dai family became alert.
When the Dai family reacted, Lin Shuer almost controlled nearly half of the raw materials with thunderous means.
However, in just a few days, the Dai family turned the originally lost initiative into an evenly matched situation.
In particular, although Lin Shuer had tried her best, she had almost always been passive in the face of the Dai family's absolute strength.
Of course, Lin Shuer did an excellent job, and she also did it extremely covertly.
She also took advantage of the Dai family's eagerness to make a huge profit from the price difference.
That's why she had a way to stock up on so many raw materials.
This also proves that the Dai family's control over Suibu is inevitable.
Here, a problem arises.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world? Did Wang Quan happen to hear the conversation of several important officials in the imperial court?
Duan Wenjun began to have doubts.
If the conversations of those important ministers were true, even Wang Quanzheng knew about it, and it would be impossible for the Dai family to not know about it.
The Dai family had many connections in the court. Maybe among the important ministers at that time, there would be people who had a good relationship with the Dai family...
Therefore, this possibility has become extremely small.
So, since this possibility is extremely small, why did Wang Quanzheng deceive Lin Zhengying?
This doesn't seem to be of any benefit.
Then, there is another possibility.
The news about Lin Zhengying did not come from Wang Quanzheng.
That's just a cover.
Thinking of this, Duan Wenjun's heart suddenly opened up.
His eyes fell on Guan Xing and Chai Jingyun.
Perhaps, he should have thought of it long ago...
However, just when he was about to speak, a burst of noise rang from the side.
A team of about a hundred people walked over from the official road.
A dozen people led by him, riding tall horses, rushed into the tea house.
The tall man with beards at the front jumped off his horse and glanced into the tea house, "Everyone, get out of here!"
"Why?" A man dressed as a scholar at the next table said first with a slight frown.
"Why? Just for this!" Before he finished speaking, the knife in the bearded hand suddenly hit the table in front of the scholar.
The scholar snorted coldly, but did not move.
Apparently, not intimidated.
The bearded man turned his left hand, suddenly grabbed the scholar's collar, lifted him up, and threw him directly.
"Why did you hit someone?" The scholar's back hit the wall hard next to him, and a stream of blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to stand up. "In broad daylight, is it possible that you are not afraid of the king?" Is it legal?"
"Haha, that's the king's law of your country, but you can't control us people in the desert." The bearded man laughed loudly.
Sitting at the table next to the scholar were an old man and a young girl.
At this moment, seeing the ferocious look of the bearded man, he was immediately trembling with fear.
Just when they stood up and wanted to leave, a man blocked them. "Girl, don't leave in a hurry! Sit down and have a cup of tea together!"
The man was over 1.9 meters tall, with a muscular back and a strong waist.
His face is dark and fleshy.
Wearing an animal skin, he also had a gold ring on his head.
At first glance, it gives people a sinister look.
The man smiled lustfully and reached out to touch the girl's face.
The girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly hid behind the old man.
"Old man, get out of here!" Seeing the girl hiding behind the old man, the man seemed very unhappy and reached out to grab the old man's shoulder.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a huge force coming, hitting his elbow directly.
Following the "pop" sound, his face suddenly felt burning pain.
"Get out!" A low voice sounded in front of him.
At this time, the man discovered that there was a white figure between him and the old man.
There is no doubt that the slap that just fell on his face and the fist that landed on his elbow came from the man in white clothes.
"Don't hurt my prince!" The bearded man also reacted at this moment, and instantly pulled out his sword and stood in front of the man.
Duan Wenjun had already pulled the old man and the girl back a few steps.
The bearded man and Mo Shoucheng had already set their sights on each other, holding the weapons in their hands tightly.
"I see you are all tired of living!" The man hiding behind the beard finally reacted at this moment. "Come here, let me, the prince, take down all the assassins this time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so people who had just followed him rushed in with weapons in hand.
"Old Mo, just don't kill anyone!" Duan Wenjun snorted coldly and turned to Mo Shoucheng.
At this moment, Yun Batian and Lin Shu'er also drew their swords and stood beside Mo Shoucheng.
Zhao Xiaowu and others in the courtyard also started to move.
The black iron horizontal sword was unsheathed and suddenly buzzed.
Several people have blocked the entrance of the tea house, cutting off the connection between the tea house and the team outside.
The other dozen or so people surrounded the dozen or so people in the cavalry team just now.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Chai Jingyun walked out of the crowd, "May I ask your Excellency, who is Yelu Wenqi, the second prince of the Mo Kingdom?"
The man just saw that he was surrounded, and he suddenly panicked.
Hearing Chai Jingyun's words at this moment, he was overjoyed and poked his head out from behind his beard, "Oh? I didn't expect that anyone in Dashun knows this prince?"
He looked at Chai Jingyun and said, "Since you know my identity, you should know that if you offend me, when I see your emperor later, I will definitely let him twist your head off."
