The prince's worries are very reasonable. Although Ji Gang's crimes are numerous, there are not many that can really bring him bad luck. On the contrary, if he muddles through some crimes to the emperor, it will not only be ineffective, but will also harm himself.
Already...
"And many things will be linked to the emperor. My father is the head of the Yingcha. He never admits that he is wrong. Moreover, the past years are very sensitive. My father will not allow anyone to reverse the case. If we
By bringing out some inappropriate cases, isn’t it to make the emperor look good? How can the emperor lose face if he is deceived like this? When the emperor gets angry, I am afraid that the result will be that we will suffer and Ji Gang will be fine..." Zhu Gaochi is the first
This time he revealed his true feelings to someone, and he had indeed regarded Wang Xian as the person he could confide in.
Of course, there is also the intention to show off one's abilities and suppress this boy who is becoming more and more bold and reckless.
As expected, Wang Xian looked solemn after hearing this and said: "Your Highness is so right, it seems that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term.
"Haha, I just said it casually, so don't take it too seriously." Zhu Gaochi resumed his professional and arrogant attitude and said: "If there is any case that will never be brought to the emperor, you can still use it.
"Speaking of which, there is indeed a case that will never be linked to the emperor." Wang Xian thought for a while and said: "Two years ago, according to Ji Gang's nephew Ji Song's confession, Ji Gang forged imperial edicts and collected money from Lianghuai over the years.
He stole millions of kilograms of salt in the front line and distributed it throughout the country through Jin Yiwei's spy system, making huge profits."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhu Gaochi said with a serious expression: "No wonder the output of the Lianghuai Salt Farm has declined instead of increasing in the past few years. I thought it was caused by the escape of the kitchen households. So there is this hidden secret?"
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and said: "After two years of difficult investigation, I have obtained conclusive evidence that he smuggled smugglers and can close the net at any time."
"You are thoughtful." Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xian approvingly, nodded slowly and said: "This case is very good, very good..." Although he didn't say everything, Wang Xian understood what the prince meant, because Ji Gang himself was in charge of the Jin Yiwei.
With huge funds, Jin Yiwei also has numerous side businesses. For example, the brothels and casinos across the country account for at least 20% of Jin Yiwei's industry. He is already rich enough to rival the country, but he still has to take the risk to grab the official salt of the imperial court. He wants to
What is so much money for? This is not as simple as corruption, but will trigger endless associations.
"Bring me the dossier and look at it. If there are no problems, report it to me." Zhu Gaochi said carefully.
"Yes." Wang Xian bowed his head and responded.
Wang Xian came out of the prince's study and saw Zhu Zhan waiting outside. When he saw him, he smiled and said: "Second brother, my eldest brother asked me to wait for you here."
"Yes." Wang Xian smiled and nodded. He had a special status in the prince's palace. Although he always remembered not to exceed the courtesy of a minister, the prince always regarded him as a adopted son, and Zhu Zhanji even regarded him as a biological brother.
Even his younger brothers called Wang Xian the second brother and never treated him as an outsider.
The two chatted and walked in the corridor of the harem. As they walked, Wang Xian suddenly frowned and was stunned when he saw a beautiful figure in the garden pavilion. He saw that the woman had long hair like a waterfall and was weak and slender. Although she was just
The back view still made Wang Xian shout three words in his heart: cabbage,
Wang Xian quickly walked out of the corridor without thinking. He didn't care about Zhu Zhan behind him and walked quickly towards the pavilion.
He took very long strides and reached the outside of the pavilion in just a few steps. The maids were stunned and did not have time to stop him, so they allowed him to enter the pavilion. Seeing a stranger intruding, the young woman in a goose-yellow robe was about to reprimand, but she waited.
When the man came from Qing Dynasty, he felt as if someone had grabbed his neck, his cheeks were flushed with shame, and he stared at him blankly, his eyes wandering, and his expression was extremely complicated.
"Xiu'er..." Wang Xian also looked at her, uttering two words in his mouth, his eyes full of annoyance.
That woman was Zheng Xiuer, who had been in Tianxiang Temple for more than a year and had never wanted to see him. When she suddenly saw Wang Xian, her eyes were full of surprise and longing. However, when she saw Wang Xian wanting to eat someone, she was like
Like a frightened little rabbit, he quickly hid behind another woman in the pavilion.
Only then did Wang Xian notice that there was a woman in the pavilion, and he looked at her fiercely. Little did he know that it didn't matter if he didn't look at her, but his heart skipped a beat when he saw it... The woman looked like she was only in her twenties, with a slim and slender figure.
, her features were absolutely beautiful, and even though she was wearing a large Taoist robe, with a plain face and no makeup, she looked like a fairy descending from the earth, fluttering like snow falling in the wind, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Fortunately, alarm bells were ringing in his heart. He knew that this woman was something he could never think too much about. He quickly lowered his head and said: "The real person..."
If that woman wasn't Xu Miaojin, how could she be someone else? I don't know whether it was because she was already familiar with Wang Xian or because Zhu Di was not in the capital. Her expression was not as solemn as expected. Instead, she said with a playful smile: "Isn't this famous in the capital?"
Wang Zhenfu."
"That's right...boy." Wang Xian lowered his head and said.
"I heard that you gnashed your teeth outside Tianxiang Temple several times, and said that one day, sooner or later, you would take me back from my hands. Does it seem true?" Xu Miaojin said with a narrow smile.
"..." Wang Xian couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "You kid is talking nonsense, I'll forgive you."
"Master, he is just so crazy. Don't be angry." Zheng Xiu'er couldn't bear to see Wang Xian embarrassed, so she gently pulled Xu Miaojin's sleeve and whispered.
Xu Miaojin looked at the childlike behavior of the two people and said even more amusedly: "Wang Xian, today is a good opportunity, why don't you take action?"
"The real person is joking. How dare you make a mistake in front of the real person." Wang Xian lowered his head and said, "Just now I only paid attention to Xiu'er and didn't see the real person."
"It seems that this old witch like me is really an eyesore." Xu Miaojin quickly stood up and said with a smile on her picturesque eyebrows: "How about I go away first?"
"The real person is joking, you can't talk about being old." Wang Xian didn't know where he was wrong, and the focus was on this. But there was no flattery in his words. Xu Miaojin and eighteen or nineteen-year-old
Standing side by side, the beautiful Zheng Xiuer, her youthful vitality is not inferior, and her beauty and charm are even better. She is endowed with the beauty of heaven and earth, and is the only love of nature.
"That's pretty much it. Okay, let's save the sweet words to coax Xiu'er." Xu Miaojin glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and said: "Let me make it clear first, I am not an old monster beating up mandarin ducks. I am also a monk with Xiu'er.
I don't agree with it, so I just let her stay in my nunnery temporarily. If you have the ability, just take it back, but there is one thing, don't use force, otherwise I will go crazy." The beauty's threat has no power at all, but it seems
Just like flirting.
"Yes." Wang Xian suppressed his blood that was agitated for unknown reasons, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, what on earth is going on with me?
"Son, let's get out of the way first." Xu Miaojin gave him a funny look and said to Zhu Zhan, who was standing outside the pavilion.
"Hey, okay." Zhu Zhan scratched his head and naturally followed his aunt's words.
After Xu Miaojin left, her voice and smile seemed to still echo in the pavilion. After a while, Wang Xiancai calmed down and took a deep breath. He seemed to smell Xu Miaojin's elegant and charming fragrance again. He couldn't help but cough twice and looked at the woman who was holding on to her clothes.
Zheng Xiu'er said: "Xiu'er, come home with me."
"No." This is what Zheng Xiu'er annoys Wang Xian the most. She always hears Sister Qing'er and Sister Xiao Lian say that he is so gentle, but why is he always so cruel to her?
"Why?" Wang Xian glared and said, "Your butt is itchy again, isn't it?" He didn't know what was going on, but when he saw her delicate and weak little cabbage look, he couldn't help blowing his beard.
Stare.
"You know how to bully me..." Zheng Xiuer's eyes suddenly turned red, she pursed her lips, wiped her tears and began to sob.
"No, no, no, no, no," Wang Xian hurriedly stepped forward to wipe her tears, but felt that someone was peeping. He had to bow and apologize, and finally coaxed the little girl to get better. "Aren't I anxious? Since you are
If you know that I have been hanging around outside Tianxiang Temple this year, you should understand how much I miss you!"
Zheng Xiuer felt sweet in her heart, and then she broke down in tears and said with a smile: "That's nonsense, you only went there twice in total."
"Haha, if you laugh, it means you don't blame me anymore, right?" Wang Xian smiled and said, "Okay, okay, come home with me." He reached out to hold her hand.
After being lost for a moment, Zheng Xiuer quickly retracted her hand, shook her head and said, "No."
"Why?" Wang Xianxin said, this conversation is so familiar, why did it go around in a circle and come back again.
"I am living a good life now. This is the life I want to live..." Zheng Xiuer lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "And I swore to Daozu that I would escape from the world of mortals for the rest of my life. You have sister Qing'er,
Sister Xiao Lian, and Baoyin... One more of me is not more, one less of me is not more, so don’t force me."
"What are you talking about?" Wang Xian glared again and said: "None of you can replace the other. I have told you before that your life is mine. If I don't let you become a monk, you can't become a monk. Come home with me quickly."
"Can you stop being so domineering..." Zheng Xiuer looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "If you do this again, I will never talk to you again."
"..." Wang Xian was stunned. He suddenly realized that the reason why he lacked patience with Zheng Xiu'er, unlike Qing'er, Baoyin or even Gu Xiaolian, was because he always subconsciously regarded her as his private property.
He had never treated her like a normal person. Zheng Xiuer had a very strict upbringing since she was a child. She was a Taoist who could no longer be a Taoist. After a sudden change, she became extremely inferior and blamed herself. For such a pitiful person,
My son, I should have taken good care of him...
"You, don't be angry..." Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Zheng Xiu'er thought he was angry, and immediately felt like a knife. She grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and whispered: "Actually, I miss you too..."
"Xiu'er, I'm sorry..." Wang Xian finally came to his senses and looked at the weak and slender girl Chu Chu, becoming gentle to her for the first time in his life.
Zheng Xiuer felt like she was struck by lightning, and tears rolled down her cheeks...
