This news really shocked Liu Mo.
"Where did you hear that?" he asked quickly.
"It was sent by someone sent by the Sixth Prince." Lin Shiqi replied, "His Majesty recovered recently and returned to Jizhou. When he learned that the Dali Temple was delaying handling Gao Qi's matter, he was furious and personally issued an imperial edict to have Gao Qi imprisoned. Tianlao also cured the crime of the minister of Dali Temple."
Did your body recover so quickly? Liu Mo laughed, I think the Emperor of Daxia is not seriously ill at all, and deliberately creating opportunities for the prince to learn is the only way to establish his authority!
Thinking further, after this time, I am afraid that my name will be remembered by the Emperor of Great Xia!
It's a pity that Gong Changyi's funeral has to be arranged, so we can't see this guy going to jail.
"Where is the eldest prince? Is there any punishment?"
"Yes!" Lin Shiqi said, "If you fail to restrain your subordinates, you will be demoted from the title of prince to the title of county king, and be fined for three years. You will also be ordered to issue an imperial edict to accuse yourself and the world!"
This punishment is enough to slap you in the face!
"anything else?"
"Furthermore, the Ministry of Household Affairs has also allocated military pay to General Bai's subordinates. Dali Temple has also sent imperial envoys to conduct a thorough investigation of Gao Qi's men who committed the crime, as well as other soldiers."
"You heard me, father-in-law, justice is never absent!" Liu Mo said loudly.
Lin Shiqi laughed, "Husband, there is one more thing. I originally wanted to tell you later. But after thinking about it carefully, it is better to tell you now than to tell you what I have to say sooner or later."
"Oh? Any other good news?"
"I don't know if it's good news or bad news!" Lin Shiqi said, "My uncle and third uncle said they were coming to Rongcheng!"
Liu Mo immediately understood, "It's for the new salt business, right?"
"Ah...it turns out that husband, you already knew about it!" Lin Shiqi pursed her lips.
"I can guess a little. If they don't come to me, I will go to them!" Liu Mo said with a smile, "Did you mention in the letter whether you brought enough cash?"
"Husband... do you know this?" Lin Shiqi was surprised. "My uncle and third uncle didn't say it clearly, but I have inquired. It can be said that they brought all their wealth with them to Rongcheng this time."
It is indeed wise to invest in a new salt business by selling iron at the expense of others. Yes, not bad!
"when will you arrive?"
"The letter said to wait until my husband has finished the funeral of Mr. Gong!"
"Got it!" Liu Mo nodded. "Shiqi, I'll help you arrange the reception."
"I understand!" Lin Shiqi said, "If there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first. Husband, please also take care of yourself!"
After saying that, she took out some pastries from her arms and said, "Nuo, take it. You can comfort your stomach if you're hungry. Sister Xin'er made it herself!"
"Thank you my good wife!" Liu Mo took the cake with a smile.
"Then I'm going back first!"
Her retreating footsteps echoed loudly, leaving wet marks on the floor.
Liu Mo sighed, "My eldest wife still understands me and cares about me, but doesn't force me!"
While eating pastries, before I knew it, dawn arrived and the hall gradually became brighter.
The door opened, and Gong Xiaorou walked in first, accompanied by Lin Shiqi.
Her eyes were red and swollen and her face was pale. When she walked to the coffin, she immediately knelt down and started sobbing.
In order to prevent her from fainting again, Liu Mo quickly winked at Lin Shiqi. The latter, together with the maid, helped Gong Xiaorou get up and took her aside to rest.
Next, He Ruda, as the parent official, took the lead and knelt down. The rest of the Rongcheng officials came forward one by one and imitated his example.
After that, everything was carried out according to the funeral ceremony of Daxia, and Gong Changyi was buried.
As for marrying Su Xiaowan, the wedding ceremony had just been completed. According to Daxia customs, the wedding ceremony could not be held until at least three months.
Therefore, this matter can only be postponed for a while.
Su Xiaowan was helpless, and Gong Xiaorou had just lost her father, so they felt sorry for each other.
In order to keep the two lonely people company, after Liu Mo arranged it, the two quickly became good sisters. Nothing happens, Xin'er has to take care of her children, and Lin Shiqi also has something to be busy with. For this reason, Gong Xiaorou usually goes to Su Xiaowan's house.
They will get married sooner or later anyway, and a close relationship between the two is what Liu Mo hopes to see.
The day after Gong Changyi's business was settled, Huang Shouren left Rongcheng and returned to Jizhou to continue assisting the Sixth Prince.
On the third day, Lin Shiqi's two uncles arrived as promised.
~~~
Jingshui Pavilion, elegant seating on the second floor.
Lin Shiqi asked Xiang Wu to cook a table of dishes for Lin Yu, while Lin Xian took over the task.
He Ruda, his son-in-law, was also there. When he heard that his forty-year-old uncle called himself "son-in-law" to Lin Yu, who was of the same age, Liu Mo almost laughed out loud.
Lin Qing'er met her father, said goodbye and then left. Da Xia went to the man to talk about business, and it was inconvenient for a woman to be present.
"Niece-in-law, I didn't expect that your beer with skewers would have such a miraculous effect. It's really a rare delicacy in the world!"
"Then uncles, please drink some!"
After three rounds of drinking, these two people just kept silent about investing in Xinyan.
Don't think about it, either Lin Yuan accidentally let the news slip, or he found out the information through other channels, waiting for me to take the initiative!
If you speak first, you will definitely lose the initiative. These two people are profiteers who have been in business for most of their lives, so they must not fall into passivity!
Let's just chat awkwardly and wear it out.
After eating this feast for a full hour, Liu Mo lost his patience and said, "Uncles, I still have official duties to attend to. How about I come to accompany you two later?"
"Ah...niece-in-law, please stay!" Lin Yu said.
If I don’t provoke you, it’s not over yet, right?
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Niece-in-law, I heard that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province are promoting new salt throughout the province?"
"Yeah!" Liu Mo said lightly.
This one, um, made the Lin Yu brothers dumbfounded. It was the ultimate form of awkward chatting.
But this time the new salt business is comparable to building a highway that spans several provinces. No matter how difficult it is, we have to continue.
Lin Xian was cheeky and forced a smile, "I wonder how this matter is progressing?"
"good!"
…
Hearing this answer, the Lin Yu brothers blushed.
"I wonder if you need your third uncle's help?"
"Ah, not yet!" Liu Mo replied very calmly.
He Ruda was almost not amused.
"Third brother, why are you so coy in front of your niece-in-law?" Lin Yue became anxious, "Niece-in-law, can you let my uncle participate in your new salt business?"
"Yes, yes. My niece-in-law, I wonder if my third uncle can handle this new salt business?" Lin Xian quickly agreed.
Finally can't hold it in any longer? No more tricks? I have to tease you a lot!
Thinking of this, he said: "Uncle, Third Uncle, didn't we already discuss it last time? It's been more than half a year, but I haven't seen a single coin."
"Hahaha, niece-in-law, are you talking about me?" Lin Xiandao said, "Since the last time we said goodbye, third uncle, I have been trying my best to raise money, just to buy shares today. That thing you said, 'shareholding system' '?"
After saying that, he immediately took out a beautiful brocade box, which contained all his belongings, a total of 400,000 taels of silver.
"Here's the money, niece and son-in-law, you can just take it. It's up to you to decide whether to pay dividends or not."
"My niece-in-law and uncle mean the same thing!" Lin Yu said quickly.
Good guys, you two are really willing to spend a lot of money. Give me all your belongings. Do you want to give me the year-end dividend or not?
This wave is so wonderful!
