Protect Our Patriarch

Vol 4 Chapter 65: Big pattern! The true foundation of Wang's prosperity

"Protect Our Patriarch New ( Find the latest chapter!

Upon seeing this, the old Yao serving on the side sighed in secret.

Your Majesty has indeed not married the juniors in the clan for hundreds of years, but recently the dispute between the emperor and son has suddenly risen, and it has gradually become a heated trend.

This also means that the new era is about to begin and the old era is about to end.

As your Majesty's "old age" ended, it is inevitable that the state of mind is complex and changeable.

The deep marriage between the Zhao family and Prince Dexin this time, once completed, will greatly consolidate the alliance between the two sides, and create a great advantage for the ultimate victory of the emperor and son.

This move is not a problem strategically, but it seems a bit impatient in tactics. It ignores his majesty's current increasingly sensitive mentality, and also ignores the response of the Chen family who has high hopes for Princess Xue Ning.

If they are willing to hold back for a while and find a better opportunity and opportunity to do this, it may not be impossible, but if they do so recklessly as they are now, it is obviously a bad move.

In His Majesty's view, this means that the Zhao family can't wait to take refuge in the "new master". And Prince Dexin's line also couldn't wait to completely pull the Zhao family, whom His Majesty relied on, into his arms.

How can you feel comfortable in your majesty's heart by doing this?

"Isn't this a good thing?" The expression of Emperor Longchang quickly recovered. He drank the spirit tea as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile, "Jinglong, are you overreacting? Wang Wentao of Kangjun Wulue, with far-reaching plans, is the most powerful competitor of the future emperor. Don't you Chen always want to be promoted to the second grade? Climbing this boat, will the future development be smooth sailing?"

"Your Majesty." Chen Jinglong's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Our Chen family has been helped by your majesty. Only in these years can we develop smoothly and smoothly. The gratitude to your majesty in our heart is beyond words. If your majesty means marriage, Xuening, Let her marry Zhao Yuanqing, our Chen family will take care of ourselves and support us in every possible way. But Zhao family and Prince Dexin..."

Halfway through, Chen Jinglong's meaning is very clear.

Only your Majesty can make them surrender unconditionally, and others are not worthy!

Emperor Longchang's expression became more and more kind: "Jinglong, don't worry, sit down and have some barbecue. Come on, let's have barbecue."

When Chen Jinglong heard this, he was a little confused for a while and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Your Majesty, I'm burning my ass, you even let me eat barbecue? If you really feel sorry for Xue Ning, you can quickly make your next decree to let Prince Dexin take back that absurd idea~~

However, even though he thought so in his heart, Chen Jinglong did not dare to say anything else at will.

In recent years, the emperor became more and more moody and often didn't understand what he was thinking. He didn't dare to guess or speak randomly. He could only bite the bullet and obey the instructions and sat down.

The eunuchs sliced ​​the roasted tender beef and sprinkled it with a thin layer of seasoning, which was fragrant.

There was something in Chen Jinglong's mind, but he didn't have any appetite at all, but even if the emperor let it be eaten, even if he didn't know it anymore, he would at least behave, and he was ready to reach out for the barbecue.

However, he just stretched out his hand when he suddenly found that several large plates of barbecue are gone...

Five swollen little wolf pups, plus a dragon, and a young girl who looks very young but can eat well, each drank the barbecue and ate it in the blink of an eye. Still licking his mouth, the meaning is still unfinished.

Then, each waited eagerly for the next barbecue to be served on the table.

"Uncle, let me tell you. Eat with the little wolf cub. If you don't hurry, you won't have to eat." Wang Yingxuan ate a little slowly, with a few kilograms left in her hand, reluctantly handed it to Chen Jinglong, "Hey, I There are still a few mouthfuls left, so let's get rid of your greedy first."

Chen Jinglong twitched his mouth and shook his head and said, "No, I'm not hungry yet, little sister, eat by yourself."

"Okay, then I'm not polite." Wang Yingxuan took a few ounces and ate a few catties of barbecue, licking her lips and said to Wu Xuening, "Tsaojiao princess, what is the name of Zhao Yuanqing?"

After a period of time, they didn't fight each other and didn't know each other. The two of them became acquainted. They were both arrogant and unjustified temperaments. It was easy to get confused when they talked.

"I saw it a few times when I was a child, and I think Zhao Yuanqing looks pretty good." Wu Xuening put his chin on, glanced at Wang Anye secretly and said, "But now, I think he is a bit too greasy, and his eyes are a bit dark and not sunny enough."

"If you don't like it, don't marry." Wang Yingxuan said indifferently.

"Well, my ancestors agreed...I can't hold him back." Wu Xuening was also quite helpless.

In her line, many major events were decided by the ancestor Dexin. Even though she is very favored, but thinking of Prince Dexin's strength, she just beats a drum.

Then, Wu Xuening also looked at Emperor Longchang eagerly, as if begging him to make an idea. Compared with the ancestor Dexin, the ancestor grandfather is much easier to talk.

Unexpectedly, the Great Emperor Longchang ignored her eyes and chatted with Ji Wuchen who was floating on the side: "Senior Ji, you said last time that the technique of integrating the formation and sword intent into the painting can no longer Tell me in detail? No wonder I look at the works of the predecessors, including the chic and willful demeanor, and the majestic killing spirit."

"Your Majesty." Even if Ji Wuchen is in a state of remnant soul, he still adheres to the respect and etiquette to the emperor, arching his hands. It's just that your Majesty is a great emperor, with complicated trivial matters, and you can only taste the miscellaneous skills."

"It's reasonable, it's a pity..." Emperor Longchang and Ji Wuchen chatted happily.

Wu Xuening's small mouth pursed, and she stared at Wang Anye and said, "Anye, Your Majesty spoils you the most now, and you don't want to help you say a few good things? It's because of me that I have treated you very carefully during this time."

Wang Anye looked blank.

Is it possible for Wang Anye to intervene in such a major event? Is it possible that if I, Wang Anye, say you don’t marry Zhao Yuanqing, can you not marry?

Chen Jinglong on the side was even more anxious. If your Majesty refuses to intervene in this matter, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to turn around.

He glanced around, then suddenly handed his hand to Old Yao: "Daddy Yao, please come to the side and Xiao Xu. Jing Long would like to ask if Xue Ning has been naughty in the palace these few days?"

"Master Chen, please." Old Yao knows.

"Please~"

When the two reached the side of Wangxian Pavilion, Chen Jinglong calmly isolated the two with profound energy.

He whispered with a bitter face: "Daddy Yao, you watched Jinglong grow up, and you really like Xue Ning. This matter is Jinglong Menglang, please help your father-in-law to say something nice to your majesty. This kindness. This virtue, my Chen family will definitely bear in mind."

"You kid, you are also a smart person on weekdays, and you still hold a lot of power." Old Yao said with a smile, "Why can't you even guess your Majesty's mind?"

Chen Jinglong lifted his spirits and said with joy: "Duke Yao meant that his majesty did not advocate Xue Ning marrying...but why didn't his majesty give the order? Yes, yes, Jinglong was confused, and now it is the dispute between the emperor and son that is gradually intensifying. At this time, whether it is King Kang or King An, they are all descendants of your majesty. The situation is still unclear. If your majesty directly issues an order to prevent Xue Ning from marrying Zhao Yuanqing, it will certainly arouse suspicion from all parties."

"In that case, the key point lies with Xue Ning herself. Anyway, she is still young, as long as she is willing to make a big fuss and insists on not marrying Zhao Yuanqing, after making everyone know, she will cry to your majesty. Everyone I know that your Majesty has always loved Xue Ning, and it is logical to step in to protect it now, but he loves and respects the child's decision, and has nothing to do with the dispute between the emperor and the son."

Chen Jinglong is also a powerful character. When Yao Gonggong dialed him a little bit, he figured out the joints.

"Russ can be taught." Yao Gonggong praised, "In the future, the Chen family is in your hands, and there may not be no hope for further progress."

"Yao Gonggong absurdly praised."

When Chen Jinglong was just waiting for a humble sentence, he suddenly seemed to think of something. His body was shocked and his eyes suddenly became serious: "Your Majesty does not want to see Xue Ning marry Zhao Yuanqing, I am afraid it is not only because of his love for Xue Ning. Huh? Could it be..."

"Jinglong, speak carefully."

When Father Yao heard this, his eyes were serious, and he immediately interrupted him. At the same time, a sharp and cold breath instantly enveloped Chen Jinglong: "Your Majesty's mind can be figured out, but you can't break it. Especially it is about it. When it comes to the overall situation, remember not to be subjective. Do you know that those are all your Majesty’s children."

Chen Jinglong stunned, and immediately put away the distracting thoughts in his heart, dripping with cold sweat on his back, and bowed his hands in salute: "Jinglong worships Xie Gonggong for some suggestions."

Subsequently, Chen Jinglong returned to the barbecue area. At this time, he was quite settled, ready to accompany the children to have a barbecue and chat with His Majesty.

As a result... his barbecue was directly lonely.

After it was over, he made an excuse that the mother of Princess Xue Ning, the Chen family, seemed to be in poor health, so he applied for Xue Ning to return to the Chen family to look after her mother. The Great Emperor Longchang let it go naturally, and asked Lao Yao to take some medicines for nourishing Qi and blood from the imperial pharmacy, and let Chen Jinglong take it back.

The next few days.

There was an uproar in Shangjing. Wu Xuening, the famous “Second Youth Master” in Shangjing, had an appointment with Zhao Yuanqing at Baiyunlou, the first Internet celebrity site in Shangjing. When Zhao Yuanqing deliberately gave in in order to show his demeanor, Wu Xuening fought. Win it.

Before Zhao Yuanqing could react, Wu Xuening directly expressed his dislike of Zhao Yuanqing in front of countless audiences. She was still young and wanted to go to Lingyun Holy Land to study and was unwilling to marry Zhao Yuanqing.

This happened as soon as it happened.

The Shangjing city boiled naturally, and news was flying in the sky. Under the Chen family's secret manipulation of the rumors, everyone in Shangjing City knew. The Zhao family begged the Rongjun Prince's mansion, but the matter had not yet come to fruition, the arrogant little Princess Xue Ning stopped doing it.

In this way, Prince Dexin was furious and prepared to imprison Xue Ning. As a result, she ran to the gate of the imperial palace crying, begging to see the grandfather of the ancestors to ask for justice.

Seeing her crying really sad, Emperor Longchang was distressed, so he left her in the palace, and said that Xue Ning is still young now, and it is normal that she can't stand her for a while. Her marriage is put on hold, waiting for Xue Ning to return to the holy place to study. It's not too late to negotiate.

Anyway, at the bloodline level of Tianjiao, Da Tianjiao, it is normal to get married only one or two hundred years old.

The disadvantage of doing this is that the bloodline is too strong, and the probability of giving birth to an offspring will be greatly reduced. The advantage is that the chance of having a child with excellent bleeding will be higher. Of course, the chance is only "higher", not absolute.

This "farce" really gave the capital and the people a lot of food.

Zhao Yuanqing, who was kicked after asking for a kiss, and Anguo Gongfu became talkatives after dinner, and the prestige of the second-tier family also dropped a lot.

Little Princess Xue Ning is a great arrogant, even if she marries to a super-grade family, it is normal. It was fine for the Zhao family to want to climb high, but even the little girl couldn't get it right, so what did he ask for a kiss?

The result is naturally extremely embarrassing.

Inside the Humble Administrator's Cabinet.

Lao Yao was talking about gossip in the streets and performing vividly.

The Great Emperor Longchang was lying halfway in the chair of the Supreme Master, and he was very happy, his face was full of red light, even the folds on his face were much less.

"Hehe~ Xue Ning's face is very good and wonderful." The Great Emperor Longchang, who was surrounded by no one but five little wolf cubs, sneered, "Zhao, these years are really They are becoming more and more greedy. Nowadays, the strong second-grade family is afraid that they can no longer satisfy their appetite."

Old Yao Dun shut up immediately, he didn't dare to answer these words.

The Great Emperor Longchang said to himself: "Old Yao, it's not that I don't have the capacity to tolerate people. Now that the situation on the battlefield outside the territory is getting tighter, I don't want to share the worries with some powerful families."

"It's just that the Zhao family has developed so smoothly in these thousands of years. All of their strong development is based on squeezing the living space of other families, and they have become accustomed to this model."

"I remember, Lao Yao, what is the name of your spy?"

"Jiang Yusong." Old Yao whispered.

"Yes, it is Jiang Yusong. He has previously passed back a piece of Wang Shouzhe's arrogant argument about me. The power of the family should not be based on squeezing the living space of other families. It is a wrong decision to say that I let the families talk to each other. ."

"The real royal family should lead and guide the high-grade family to grow and grow together. And the real high-grade family should also lead the middle-grade family to prosper together, and the real middle-grade family should also benefit one party. These words, do you remember Lao Yao? "

"Old slave remembers." Lao Yao laughed in a low voice, "I remember that your Majesty was so angry that he threw the cup and said that he was going to the town of Ping An by himself and beat the traitor Wang Shouzhe."

"Yes, yes, that guy is really hateful, and I don't know how many bad things I said behind my back." The Great Emperor Longchang so far thought of all the hateful "paradoxes", and his teeth were still tickled with anger.

If it were not for his determination, Wang Shouzhe would have made him suspect that he was a faint king.

"After all, there are some good things..." Old Yao reluctantly encouraged him.

"Hmph, if it wasn't for him to have a few more'relevant' words, I would have chopped him down." After the Great Emperor Longchang muttered a few words in an irritating tone, his face gradually became calm. . But there are some things that make some sense after careful consideration."

"If the Zhao family is really capable, they can follow the example of their ancestors to open up territory and build a country of their own. I will only feel admiration. Not only will they not hinder them, they may even help them. However, they are too addicted to it after all. The power of the camp, all day long thinking about how to exploit the country’s loopholes and derive more benefits, it’s actually a disadvantage."

"If I hadn't deliberately suppressed the Wang family and supported the Zhao family, could they have today?"

"Now they have grown. Except for our royal family, there is the only second-ranking that no one can hold against it. It is really a great prestige. I am still alive, and they will start small movements. If I...haha, Dexin Already old, Yong'an is a useless person who has no idea. With the dumbfoundedness of King Kang, can he hold down the Zhao family?"

"Your Majesty!" Old Yao was also slightly anxious, "What should I do?"

"Old Yao, don't be anxious. I just said that casually, no one is spitting out with you." The Great Emperor Longchang turned and said with a relaxed smile, "Anyway, I don't care who inherits the throne for the time being. I will do my best. Jiangshan, you have to be stable. The emperor's heart, haha~~"

The situation in Shangjing City is changing, and undercurrents are surging. At about the same time, in the remote corner of Shangjing City—Ping'an Town, there are also undercurrents surging up quietly.

In a clean and tidy standard hotel room with an area of ​​only forty to fifty square meters, two tax officials who visited unannounced, an old and a young, were spreading out on their respective beds, like two salted fish that had been over-exposed and were about to lose their vitality.

On the coffee table next to them, on the bed, there are a lot of account books, visit records, empty medicine bottles of Xing Shen Dan, calculators for checking data, and various gadgets and so on.

Obviously, the two have just gone through a "fierce battle", their energy and physical strength have reached a critical value, and they are in a state of malaise.

Not counting the time on the road, almost half a month has passed since the two arrived in Ping'an Town. In order to catch the evidence of Wang's tax evasion and complete the task as soon as possible, the two of them have hardly rested in the past two months, and they have been working hard with the spirit of awakening Shendan.

By now, even the awakening **** pill was almost useless.

You should know that for unannounced visits like this, in addition to the concealment of the action, the most important thing is that the soldiers are extremely fast and cannot give the opponent time to react. Otherwise, once a local snake like Wang reacts and starts to cover up the evidence, it will be very difficult to find out even if it is a three-division linkage.

Therefore, although their unannounced visit is just an outpost, it is also a very important part, which will directly affect whether the subsequent three-division linkage can be carried out smoothly and whether satisfactory results can be obtained.

The two naturally did not dare to neglect, and even squeezed out time to work.

As for the result...

"Teacher, shall we continue to investigate?"

The young tax official looked up at the white ceiling, his eyes were dull, and there were two dark bags under his eyes. It seemed as if he had been ravaged by life countless times, and even his voice was weak: "Let's The acres have also been measured, and the actual wasteland reclamation time and farming years have also been privately visited and investigated. Even the spiritual fields in various places have been explored, and no problems have been found..."

"No problem, it's the biggest problem. From the book, the Changning Wang family actually paid taxes in full every year, and the tax exemption period for reclaiming wasteland rarely reaches 50 years, and it is often several years in advance. , Even paying taxes for more than ten years. Is this normal? This is not normal!" The old tax officer's voice was also weak, but his tone was very angry. The tax items are perfect, so that people can't find out the problem at all. He has guarded us long ago!"

"It can't be that Changning Wang's brain has a problem. Is there really no tax evasion?" The young tax officer really didn't want to check it anymore, and couldn't check it anymore.

He was just a cultivator of the Spirit Stage. Although his energy and physical strength were much stronger than those of the Qi Refining Stage, he couldn't stand up to such high-intensity investigations day and night, endlessly.

If the investigation continued, Bie Changning Wang's evidence of tax evasion was not found, and he was exhausted first.

The dignified cultivator of the platform realm was exhausted and fell ill because of being too tired.

"Bullshit! There is a pile of spirit stones right in front of you, you can get them as soon as you reach out, and everyone else has no problem with them. Can you hold out your hands? Even if you can hold them for a while, One year, two years, decades, a hundred years?" The old tax officer didn't believe in the innocence of Changning Wang at all.

He has been a tax official for so many years, and he has done unannounced visits a long time ago. I don't know how many times. The family that has been checked is not ten thousand or eight thousand. Can you know what kind of urine is this family?

On the surface, no matter how good the family style is and the rigorous style of the family, secretly, there are some places to hide dirt, but it is relatively small, and the plot is not serious.

For a family like this, the investigation is totally exhausting and thankless, and the last thing that has been uncovered after a long period of investigation is some small problems.

There are also some aristocratic families who are already so bad at their bones that they have done enough to copy their homes for several times. The things they did before were actually clear, and they even had evidence in their hands long ago. It’s just that someone has been protecting them. , Temporarily unable to move, they can only die. But if one day, there is a problem with the protective umbrella above, it will naturally be time to move them.

He had encountered a situation like this several times, and the evidence he tried so hard to find out could only be sealed in confidential files in the end.

Of course, he is not discouraged, because he knows that those things are only temporarily dusty, and in fact they will be used someday. Like the kind of aristocratic family that has been rotten to the bone, one day they will play to their deaths, but sooner or later.

As for Changning Wang's situation, although he saw it for the first time, and it seemed really clean to make people doubt life, he believed that there must be a reasonable reason behind it.

Regardless of whether the Changning Wang family really paid full taxes every year, or really took the time to complete the accounts in advance, there must be problems in case someone checks the accounts.

He didn't believe that there would really be a clean family in this world!

The young tax official was speechless when he heard the old tax official's question. This... To be honest, he really can't guarantee that he can hold back his hand.

After struggling for a long time, he said unequivocally: "Then what should I do now?"

"What else can I do?" The old tax officer looked at the ceiling in a helpless tone, "Of course it is to report truthfully, and how to say it. By the way, we will sort out our investigation records and visit records during this period. Once asked, Fortunately, there is an explanation."

As for the rest, they are no longer able to manage.

at the same time.

At Dingpu Ferry, in a box of a Linjiang teahouse, two people are sitting opposite each other and drinking tea.

One of these two wore scribes robes and looked gentle and handsome, and their temperament was also very elegant and outstanding. The other was dressed in a black-blue basalt costume and looked impressive, and the temperament of the other was also very elegant and outstanding.

The two of them were Jiang Yusong, the second head of the Dragon Gang, and Wang Shouyong, one of the elders of the Changning Wang family.

Last year’s tour of the ruins, although Wang Shouyong failed to reach the last level due to his own strength, he successfully set a record in the seventh level and successfully completed one of the "fleece" plan formulated by Wang Shouzhe. One ring.

He himself has gained huge benefits from this. Not only has he possessed a superb magic weapon as his body, his bloodline aptitude has also been directly promoted to the middle stage of Datianjiao C, etc. under the action of the high-altitude and high-altitude essences. Become a member of Changning Wang's hidden great arrogance.

Of course, it would be too much of Da Tianjiao's scruples that he became a great Tianjiao and he could not be made public, but Wang Shouyong had full confidence because of this.

After all, this is the Great Tianjiao, the future seed of supernatural powers, the number of people in Da Gan can be counted.

In the past six months, he himself has deeply realized the benefits of becoming a great arrogant. Not only did his cultivation speed skyrocket, his affinity for spiritual energy, and his understanding of the law, all seemed to have entered a new realm. Let his strength have a huge increase in a very short time.

Now, although his rank is still at the first level of the Celestial and Human Realm, his actual combat effectiveness is no longer the same as before.

In addition, the fourth brother also said that except for the blood aptitude, it must not be revealed to the outside world. The best magic weapon will be exposed at a critical moment, and the problem is not big.

In this way, with many bonuses, Wang Shouyong nowadays, even facing Jiang Yusong, who was several levels higher than him, was not ashamed and confident.

This made Jiang Yusong look at him a little bit high.

"Brother Shouyong, the group of people who came down to visit unannounced this time are all very cautious. They have also been very careful in their actions during this period. The traces of their actions have also been well covered up. They seem to be veterans." Jiang Yusong drank the tea with his face. The eyebrows were stretched, but they were not worried at all, "Unfortunately, they don't know that all their actions are under Wang's monitoring. They really think they are very hidden~"

This time, there is no way that there will be only one wave of people coming here. Just entering Ping'an Town in batches, there will be several groups of people.

"The tax officials who came this time are probably all cadres under the Sancai Division. They have sophisticated methods and should not be underestimated. If they change to another family, they will be able to find out the problem if they do this investigation." Wang Shouyong calmly sipped his mouth. Tea, however, didn't mean to underestimate those tax officials. "It's just that we Wangs have always paid taxes honestly. They have never evaded or missed taxes. Naturally, they are not afraid of checking them carefully."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yusong was also somewhat convinced.

Although he was very confident in Wang Shouzhe and felt that he should be able to solve this trouble, he really did not expect that the Changning Wang Clan had not evaded or evaded taxes.

When he first heard about it, even he was a little unbelievable, but he believed it once when Wang Shouzhe had said so confidently in his letter.

But even so, he still feels a little worried, so in addition to Wang's people, he himself has been secretly sending people to keep a close eye on the investigation progress of the tax officials.

It was because of this that he was finally convinced that this thing that sounded outrageous was actually true.

Whenever he thinks of this, he can't help feeling deeply moved: "Patriarch Shouzhe deserves to be the Patriarch of Shouzhe, and he has already kept his hand. No matter how rich the imagination of the people in Sansi is, I am afraid that they would never think of Patriarch of Shouzhe. They have been guarding them since decades ago, and they have been prepared for tax inspections."

"That's natural. With the fourth brother's consistent caution, how can you leave someone with a handle on taxation? If you are not fully prepared, how can the Wang family dare to step into the vortex of the emperor and son?" Wang Shouyong He smiled, he was obviously confident in Wang Shouzhe, "What's more, the fourth brother said that taxation is the foundation of the country. Without enough tax revenue, how can the country be strong? Moreover, the family has the responsibility to protect the land and the country. With regard to taxation, naturally we should take the lead, otherwise how can we convince the public?"

In fact, Wang Shouzhe has been very strict in taxation.

As the tax evasion and tax evasion of today’s major cadres’ families are prevalent, and the general environment is like this, it’s not that people who didn’t have the Wang family thought about missing taxes secretly, but Wang Shouzhe immediately discovered and prevented them, and repeatedly emphasized this in the family meeting. And issued a series of severe punishments, which contained this unhealthy trend.

And this is where Wang Shouzhe's confidence lies in letting the tax officials investigate casually.

Wang Shouzhe did this not only for the sake of Wang's development and to avoid being caught by others, but also to set an example for Wang's juniors.

After all, if the elders brought a bad head and trampled on the laws of the country and the rules at will, what confidence do they have to make the younger ones obey the rules?

Wang Shouzhe has been making great efforts to rectify ethnology, hoping to cultivate a group of social elites who dare to strive for the ideals in his mind, but not a group of social worms who despise the law and the rules.

Wang Shouyong is also clear about these details, and he also agrees very much. It is naturally full of confidence to talk freely at this moment.

"After all, Patriarch Shouzhe is Patriarch of Shouzhe. This vision is indeed beyond people's reach." Jiang Yusong smiled emotionally. Different."

Originally, when Wang Shouzhe was not there, his heart was more or less unreliable, but now that Wang Shouyong is doing things calmly and with ease, he feels a lot more at ease.

Sure enough, the brothers around Wang Shouzhe were not simple, and they couldn't be underestimated.

"Brother Jiang, now the fish has entered the net, and the bait is already in place. Next, it's up to you." After a few chats, Wang Shouyong's expression also became solemn.

Hearing this, Jiang Yusong's expression also became solemn, put down the tea cup, and said seriously: "Brother Shouyong, rest assured, everything is going according to plan. This time, the custody made them steal the chicken and lose the rice. ."

Changning Ferry.

The starry night is falling, and the ferry is still busy. A luminous stone lamp is hung in the mountain house of the ferry, illuminating the entire Changning ferry like daylight.

No way, the throughput of this ferry is too large, and Xin'an Town, Ping'an Town and other places consume too much resources.

The tax officials of the young and old came back this time, and they did not get nothing. At least they bought a full truckload of Wang's local products, some low- and medium-grade glass products, ordinary Wang's paper, and even some ordinary grains, and prices. A variety of farm tools that are low, but of good quality.

These are transported to those "sinking markets" that the Qians can't reach, and the profits that can be made are not low, except for the hard work. If they don't take away some goods, they are called not to confess.

Because there is no trader who would dislike Wang's cheap products for the sinking market.

The two masters and apprentices passed the checkpoint smoothly and entered the range of Changningwei. Although there are cement roads in the Changningwei area, they are still much worse than Ping'an Town. There are some potholes and the repairs are not timely.

In addition, the "street lights" on the road have become increasingly scarce and dim.

"Get out of the way~"

As the master and apprentice were slowly advancing in a carriage, in the other direction, suddenly there were several carriages drawn by several horses drawn by horses from the north. They were transported out of the warehouse not far from the ferry, and passed through the three forks towards Weixi, Changning. Face away.

The two tax officials and apprentices hurriedly pulled the carriage and almost collided with each other at these three forks.

After the horse-drawn carriages in the Northland went far away, the young tax officer "pooh" said, "Who are these people? What if you run so fast in the middle of the night and hit someone?"

"Something is wrong," the old tax officer said with a frown.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"Don't forget, your teacher can be called the "sweet eyes of tax inspection". I have been working at the border for decades. If there is a problem with any carriage and cargo, you can detect something wrong at a glance." The old tax official said, "Those carriages are loaded. The amount of cargo seems to be very small, but the cargo is extremely heavy, and the cowl and frame are specially reinforced."

"That's loaded iron ingots, copper ingots or other metals." The young tax official said, "Teacher, this is Changning Wei. There is a big demand for metal ingots. It is not unusual to buy goods in the middle of the night. Also, teacher, yours. With the divine eyes of the tax investigation, the halberd is in Ping'an Town."

The old tax officer gave his apprentice a vain look, but keenly pointed out the crux of the problem: "Most of the demand for metal ingots is concentrated in Ping An Town, the newly developed Xin'an Town and other places. These goods will not be pulled away. What's the reason for it in Ping'an Town, but pulling from the Changning warehouse to the west of Changning?"

"Maybe there is a new workshop there, or there is a project that needs metal..." The young tax officer retorted with a yawn, "Teacher, I'm sleepy, let's go to the post and rest early."

"Look at this cement road, there have been many damages, and those damaged by the rut have cracked and shattered." The old tax officer jumped out of the car and checked on the side of the road. Judging by this, this road must often be damaged, and it will be damaged every time it is repaired. It can be seen that it is not only overloaded, but also overloaded for a long time."

"Teacher, what do you want to express?" The young tax officer's eyes circled.

"There is a problem, there must be a problem." The old tax officer's eyes were slightly narrowed, and he keenly smelled the unusual breath. "Wang's demand for metal is so extraordinary that it can be called a huge amount. We have secretly checked the official ledger before. There is no problem in the accounts, and the amount of metal used in each pen has a clear place. It is said that it is built in the road, in the house, in various gates. In short, it makes people unable to fault."

"Let's go, let's go and take a look together, maybe this time we have done a great job." The old tax officer drove the carriage excitedly, tracing the past along the way.

The two of them found an extremely remote Linshui Manor in the depths of the dense forest to the west of Changning.

Relying on the cultivation of the heaven and the human environment, the old tax officer sneaked in with the young tax officer, and finally discovered an amazing fact.

Behind the waterfront manor, inside the mountain, there is actually a very hidden port.

The cargo was transported through this hidden port to the river boat that had been parked in the port for a long time, and then went west along the Anjiang River all the way.

The loaded goods are also very common, that is, metal ingots mainly made of iron ingots, refined salt, and various kinds of grains of Wang's.

Fortunately, the Wang family sells food seeds to the outside world to make money. This is one of Wang's main businesses.

But Wang does not produce refined salt, and he has a fanatical appetite for metal ingots, as if he would never be satisfied.

But now, it was shipped out of Changningwei?

The sensitive string in the old tax officer's heart suddenly moved.

He had a hunch, this time, he was afraid that he really caught a big fish.

With decent skill and years of lurking experience, he secretly touched his tongue in the port, and the other party was not a tough one. After being interrogated, he honestly confessed.

However, he didn't know who the main house was. He only knew that these boats were going southwest along Anjiang River, which was said to go very far.

To the southwest? far away?

In just a moment, the old tax officer's face showed mixed expressions of anger, ecstasy, and disbelief.

What a big deal!

However, in this way, it does explain Wang's endless and unusual demand for iron ingots and other metals.

It turned out that they were all used for smuggling in order to obtain extremely high profits in return! Moreover, this is not only smuggling, but also collaborating with the enemy and treason!

Because there is only one country in the southwest of Anjiang, and that is one of Dagan's old enemies-Southern Qin.

Salt, iron, and grains are all prohibited items that are forbidden to be exported to the South Qin Dynasty. Since it is a contraband, it is naturally because there is a huge demand for such materials in the South Qin Dynasty. Once the business route is opened up, how high is the profit?

It is no wonder that Wang's development has been so fast in a short period of time, and he has exaggerated his resource requirements!

"Bah!" The young tax officer trembled with anger, "I thought Wang was really clean, but I didn't expect to do it like this, so...oh~~"

The faith of the young tax official seemed to have been hit hard, and it was languishing.

"Boy, your teacher, I said long ago, there is no cat in this world that does not steal fishy. Wang, haha~~This wave, you are dead."

Not to mention the changes on Changningwei's side, on the other side, in the Dagan Palace, Emperor Longchang finally remembered Wang Shouzhe again.

"By the way, where's Wang Shouzhe's servant?" The Great Emperor Longchang frowned after he finished complaining, "What have you been up to lately, why haven't you come to see me?"

"It's just drinking tea every day, and discussing with Wang Yuchang, Wang Zhouhui and others." Old Yao said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I feel that Shouzhe doesn't like to move. Every time I live in a place, I won't move. No, the old slave will come down and find him for your majesty?"

The corner of Emperor Longchang's mouth twitched: "No, UU reading www.uukanshu.com must be calm. Whoever loses his breath first will fall behind. By the way, I heard that someone has reported the Changning Wang family's tax evasion. Tax evasion? San Caisi, they have been moved by the wind?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. It is said that it is a joint action of the three divisions. It is an action order issued by the cabinet. It is necessary to check the evidence first." Lao Yao frowned and said, "Your Majesty, no family can do anything in terms of taxation. No omissions. I am afraid that someone secretly targeted Wang in this matter."

"Aiming? Isn't that good?" Longchang the Great laughed, "As long as Wang Shouzhe is in trouble, and I help him, he still can't be grateful to me? From then on, he will be obedient and obedient under my command?"

"Uh... Your Majesty, it won't be you who let you..."

"Nonsense, am I that kind of person?"
