Chapter 702 The Storm is Rising

"If this is true, it would be great."

Lin Wanru shook her head and added: "It's just... that the shopkeeper actually ran away with his wife and sister. The conduct of that shopkeeper is really too low."

"If you don't know anything about anything, don't make any assumptions." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Maybe he has no choice but to do it, or he may just be wronged or misunderstood..."

Lin Wanru waved her hand and said, "A heartless man is not worthy of discussion. Let's talk about cooperation with those foreign businessmen."

"No, why are you so disappointed..."

"I wonder how much cargo they have?"

"In case someone is forced to do so, this is not..."

"Is it the finished product or raw materials?"

The grievances of the owner of the glass shop cannot be cleared up. Li Yi sighed and explained: "There are a lot of goods. One Lin family will definitely not be able to eat them. They will not sell them all to you. The goods are all finished products. Great Britain is rich in glass, but Other gems and jade articles are scarce, so this time, they used colored glaze to exchange for these things and plan to take them back home to sell."

Lin Wanru asked doubtfully: "If that's the case, why do they want to cede it to us?"

Li Yi continued to explain: "British is a small country, who can bring so many jewels and jades back to sell to them? They also want to sell some here first, so that they can feel less pressure when they go back. If there are too many goods and cannot be sold, it will not be a loss. Yet?"

Lin Wanru thought for a while, looked at him, and reminded: "There is no such thing as a free advantage in the world. I still think there is something fishy about this matter. You have to be careful not to be swayed by them."

Why is this girl so ignorant? Li Yi had a headache and said, "Let's do it. Those people are still in the city. If you have anything to do, you have time to talk to them in person..."

Although he wanted to help the Lin family get through that hurdle, there were some things he couldn't say clearly after all. Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Those foreign businessmen live in the inn next door. I'll ask them to come to you soon..."

When walking out of Fanglin Garden, Li Yi suddenly realized something.

That night, Lin Wanru accidentally left the piece of paper recording the debit and credit accounting method at Qian's house, and it was picked up by the God of Money. He didn't know whether the other party understood it.

If you think about it carefully, the above is just a simple example. It is unlikely that ordinary people will understand it. Even if it really inspires something, it will not stir up much excitement if it is used for a small-scale audit.

I'm afraid that not only will he understand it, but he will also have a burning heart of patriotism. He is determined to eliminate traitors for the country and bring a bright and clear sky to the world. If he offers this method, he will happen to meet an upright person who cannot be more upright. Officials want to make great achievements in order to carry out anti-corruption work, and fight against both flies and tigers...

If this is really the case, it would be really exciting.

Although this may indeed be a pitiful thing, if any part of it is missing, it will not have the desired effect.

However, if there is no fun to watch, there will be no fun to watch. He is not idle and has nothing to do. He insists on harming the third prince Zhao Yi. After all, he is treated very well. If it weren’t for that jade pendant, Miss Liu Er’s body would not have recovered. You are so good, if you do too many ungrateful things, you will get retribution.

"What a pity..." Li Yi sighed and walked out of the store door.

Today is an extremely ordinary day for the people of Fengzhou. Most people are busy making a living as usual.

But some officials in the city are inevitably worried.

This time, the eldest prince personally led the team, led many censors, and five hundred personal guards to patrol the four directions on behalf of the emperor. Everywhere he went, he would stay for a few days, listen to public opinions, inspect local officials, and had the right to directly inspect officials below the sixth rank. To be removed from office, if someone of rank six or above commits a serious crime, he or she can be directly detained and returned to the capital for a final decision.

Fengzhou is the fiefdom of the third prince. Everyone knows about the relationship between the eldest prince and the third prince.

The eldest prince will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity easily, but they, the officials of Fengzhou, have to ask for their own blessings.

"Have you all figured out that wonderful method?"

In a posthouse in Fengzhou that had been temporarily requisitioned, the eldest prince Zhao Zheng looked at the censors in front of him and asked.

All the censors said in unison: "Go back to Your Highness, everything is clear."

Zhao Zheng nodded and said: "This time we are monitoring the state capitals under His Majesty's orders. We must act in accordance with the law. We must not disappoint His Majesty or let my people in Daqi down. Let's go."

Everyone responded one after another, and when they walked out of the post house, they met more than ten figures in front of them.

An official walking in front clasped his fists and said, "On the order of the third prince, I am here to assist you sirs. Sirs, please come!"

Several censors looked at each other, and just when they didn't know what to do, the voice of the eldest prince came from behind.

"Speaking of which, people from Third Emperor Brother should be familiar with Fengzhou." Zhao Zheng walked out and said with a smile: "Remember to go back and thank Third Emperor Brother for me!"

After everyone left, in the post house, an accompanying official came forward, frowned and said: "Your Highness, His Highness clearly does not trust you..."

Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said: "Since he is not at ease, let those people follow. I am only acting according to the order. It will be fine if the officials of Fengzhou have nothing to do. If something happens, he will not protect the Third Emperor Brother." ,otherwise……"

A smile appeared on his face, he waved his hand and said: "Let's go out and have a look. I am also curious about what is so special about Fengzhou..."

Prince Feng's Mansion, back garden, central pavilion.

The middle-aged man held the black piece in his hand. After thinking about it for a long time, he placed it on the chessboard.

He looked up at the young man opposite and said, "They should have gone by now."

Zhao Yi pinched Bai Zi, quickly landed on a spot, and asked casually: "Who in the capital will be unhappy this time?"

The middle-aged man picked up another sunspot, but did not put it down in a hurry. He thought about it again and said: "The accounts of the mansion have been thoroughly checked overnight. There are indeed loopholes in some places. The responsible person in question is the Minister of Household Affairs. ’s nephew.”

Zhao Yi sighed softly and said: "If I remember correctly, Shangshu Zhou of the Ministry of Revenue has no children, and there is only one nephew. When he came to Fengzhou, he asked me to take care of him. I plan to transfer back to Beijing in the future... but this time, I am afraid that I will break my trust."

"Your Highness, you don't have to be like this." The middle-aged man said, "It's just that he was too greedy. The amount of money he embezzled was huge. I'm sure the supervisory censors wouldn't let it go easily. Speaking of which, it was me, the governor, who failed to take responsibility." , I will submit a note to Kyoto tomorrow. If it were not for the eldest prince, I am afraid it would have caused more serious losses. I must speak well for the eldest prince in front of His Majesty. "

Zhao Yi dropped a white stone and said with a smile: "I am afraid that the government office has turned into a pot of porridge at this time, but you, the governor, are here playing chess with me. You should go back quickly. How about ending this game?" "

The middle-aged man looked at the chess game, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Your Highness. If you continue to play, I will lose soon."

He stood up, bowed his hands and said, "I'll take my leave!"

At the same time that the middle-aged man walked out of the palace, a censor in Fengzhou Mansion came out of the household. After reciting a few names with a serious face, he waved to the soldiers behind him, "Take them all away! "

Among the officials standing in a row below, some of them were sweating profusely and their faces turned ashen.

One of them couldn't help being frightened and collapsed on the ground.

The rest of the people looked at each other with unconcealed shock on their faces.

The censors sent by the imperial court this time were completely different from their previous behavior. They found these people so easily and decisively without being sloppy at all. The eldest prince showed it directly on the second day after coming to Fengzhou. Got his attitude!

Seeing that the colleagues who had been joking with them in the morning were taken away directly at this moment, some of them were afraid that they would never see each other again in the future. Everyone had different expressions and their hearts were extremely complicated.

"My lord has been taken away. Hurry, send a message to Kyoto!"

"It is said that the eldest prince accidentally discovered a magical method that can make all corrupt officials invisible. We need to be vigilant about this matter and report it to your lord as soon as possible!"

"It is extremely urgent. Send this letter to Kyoto immediately to remind them to be more careful!"

Li Yi walked out of the courtyard and saw a large group of soldiers escorting several people passing by on the street. He couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "The public security in Fengzhou is indeed not good..."
