Li Ji did not forget that Qian Bofang had just said that the owner hidden behind Qianjin Pavilion was a relative of the three dukes of the imperial court.

However, according to the existing information, he is qualified to join forces with the Former Qin King and the Grand Sima to do business, and this relative is not a relative.

The so-called relative is just a puppet, and the real businessman is probably the San Gong himself.

"According to the information found, the owner behind this restaurant is the wife of the Great Situ of the Former Qin Dynasty."

"Da Situ?"

Li Ji was stunned when he heard this.

The official system of the six kingdoms in the Great Wall was based on the system of Three Dukes and Nine Ministers established by Emperor Taizu Emperor Ying. The Three Dukes were the three most respected and prominent official positions in the court. Among them, the Grand Sima controlled the troops, the Grand Sikong mastered the personnel, and the Grand Situ was in charge of the central government's money and grain, and governed the national economy and people's livelihood.

Li Ji didn't know whether to feel sad or sympathized for this country.

The highest official holding a country's money bag, but he took the lead in competing for profit with the people and helped the king to fill his pockets.

The relationship between the monarch and the ministers in the Former Qin Dynasty was really too strange, and Li Ji didn't know how to evaluate it.

But it is also because it is too abnormal, which makes people unpredictable.

This is no longer an ordinary official corruption. No matter how stupid Ying Hanri is, at least he still holds the land of Former Qin. Why did the monarchs and ministers of Former Qin open such a restaurant at their doorstep? Is the King of Former Qin so short of money?

wrong.

If this place was just a tool for Ying Hanri Guichang and others to make money, Chunyu Ye would not have chosen this place as a branch.

Li Ji suddenly realized something was wrong, "Mr. Qian, how long has Qianjin Pavilion been opened?"

Qian Bofang looked at him meaningfully, "It's been at least twelve or thirteen years."

Twelve years, Ying Hanri ascended the throne for only seven years.

This restaurant was not built by Ying Hanri, but from someone he got it.

Li Ji's eyes were slightly sunk, "Who was the original owner of this restaurant? It's not that Grand Situ, right?"

If the Former Qin Dynasty Grand Situ was really the owner of this restaurant and Ying Hanri was discovered by Ying Hanri in business, Ying Hanri would only take the opportunity to take the entire restaurant into his pocket, so where would he share the profit with his ministers?

Unless these ministers were originally arranged to run errands.

"Zhaohuajun, you are still so keen," Qian Bofang looked at the lights outside, "This restaurant was originally the property of the second son of the emperor."

"Emperor..."

Li Ji was stunned, and after a moment of reaction, he realized who the "Emperor's second son" was mentioned by Qian Bofang. After all, the word "Emperor" has not been heard for too long.

"You mean the second emperor?"

"That's right," Qian Bofang said lightly, "When he opened this restaurant, he was just the second son of the emperor."

Emperor Taizu, Emperor Ying, was different from other kings. He was not keen on giving his son the title of king. Except for the eldest son Ying Su who agreed that he would be the crown prince in the future, the second son Ying Hao did not receive a title similar to the prince until he got married. He had to call him the second son of the emperor in and outside the palace.

Ying Hao did not have a military position like his brother Ying Su. He did not have any serious official position until he got married. He had almost no big income except for the tributes in the palace.

It was not that Emperor Taizu did not give his youngest son a chance, but Ying Hao was a perverse and incompetent person, so it was really difficult for him to work properly, and he even made trouble everywhere. Over time, Emperor Taizu gave up.

Without errands, there would be no salary. There were far fewer people in the court flattering the emperor's second son than his brother Ying Su. In this case, Ying Hao, who likes luxury, gradually wanted to find some money-making business for himself.

So Qianjin Pavilion was found.

Li Ji felt extremely ironic when he listened to Qian Bofang's introduction.

"In other words, was this restaurant passed on to his son by Emperor II?"

This was the first time he heard that there was another one passed on to his son by the emperor.

"Our people have not found evidence, but I guess that's the case." Qian Bofang said lightly, "It was probably after Ying Hanri took over and found that he didn't have the ability to manage it, so he pulled two ministers he trusted to help him manage it and paid them a salary."

This is a ridiculous joke about hell.

"In your words, since the second son of the emperor can't do anything well, how could he open such a big restaurant?"

Li Ji frowned. He didn't know much about Ying Hao, but from the descriptions of the people around him, he always felt that there were too many contradictions in this flash-like emperor.

Nine years ago, because of Shao Siming's open assassination in the hall, the death of the eldest son was caused by the second son of the emperor.

Although Emperor Taizu later suppressed these rumors with extremely powerful skills, this royal secret has always been unable to be sealed.

Whether in unofficial history or in the storybook, the incident of the eldest son of the emperor Ying Su being assassinated by Ying Hao during the hunting period has been widely circulated, and it has almost become a recognized fact.

But this is the contradiction.

Since Ying Hao is a waste of alcohol and sex who can't do anything, where did he get the ability to murder the eldest son?

Whether in terms of his own abilities or the abilities of those around him, Ying Hao is far inferior to Ying Su.

What's more, it was a hunting where countless princes and nobles participated. Ying Su had countless guards around him, so how could he be shot by the arrow of the second son of the emperor?

Qian Bofang looked at Li Ji's changing eyes, his eyes slightly deeper.

He knew what Li Ji was doubting.

As a close minister around Ying Baoyue, he could naturally think of things that outsiders could think of.

The mystery involved in Ying Hao is much deeper than the water that outsiders can see.

In the murder of the eldest son of the emperor, Qian Bofang felt that it was not the murderer Ying Hao, but the secretive attitude of Emperor Taizu Emperor Ying towards this matter.

At the same time, there is another person's attitude in this matter, which makes Qian Bofang feel scared.

This is the secret he buried in his heart and has never been told to anyone else.

That person is Lin Baoyue.

Because Emperor Ying blocked the news immediately, almost no one saw the scene of the accident, and few people could see Ying Su's body.

Nine years have passed, and among the only people who have seen the scene that year, Lin Baoyue is left.

However, even to their close ministers, Lin Baoyue refused to mention what happened at that time.

The death of the eldest son of the emperor was a huge turning point for all Yinchanwei. They not only lost their heirs in their country, but also their lords.

In order to kill Ying Hao, Lin Baoyue gave up everything about him, including their subordinates, but refused to explain any reason to them.

This incident has also become a dead knot in Qian Bofang's heart and has not been solved yet.

"Mr. Qian?"

Qian Bofang was unable to answer for a long time, and his breath changed even more. Li Ji couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," Qian Bofang came to his senses, "just remembered some past events."

"Where did the second son of the emperor get the ability to open a restaurant? I don't know," he coughed, "If you can grow up alive in the palace, there are probably some capable people around him."
