Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"Brother Wang, how do you explain this?"

Li Yongfeng asked.

"How can I explain it? Our Wang family paid so much salt and iron tax, this is the explanation."

Although Wang Yuanhua was a little flustered by them, when he thought of this, he said confidently: "Although I don't know why Ru Jing insisted on doing this, you all know the ability of my family Ru Jing, and she must have judged something, so make up for it." pay."

"Then why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Zheng Quan said loudly.

"That's what I said back then, can you believe it?"

Wang Yuanhua snorted coldly.

At that time, these people still regarded themselves as fools and their entire Wang family as fools before that.

They wouldn't believe it anyway.

Do you know it's wrong now?Really deserve it!

The people from the six families suddenly had nothing to say, because it was also true, and they often laughed at Wang Yuanhua in private.

"wrong!"

Lu Yulin said loudly: "We don't pay the salt and iron tax. What does that have to do with our officials? There is a conspiracy, and there must be a conspiracy."

Cui Mao narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid Li Erlang wants to take this opportunity to deliberately suppress us. He is going to declare war on us!"

"Declaration of war?"

Li Chengen sneered: "He may have forgotten how Yang Guang died in the end?"

In an instant, they became murderous.

Chapter 119

"If we dare to declare war on Li Erlang, we will die faster."

Li Yongfeng immediately said: "Don't forget, we are in Chang'an, and Li Erlang controls the military power. If he gets anxious, can we still live?"

This sentence completely dispelled their thoughts.

Although if Li Shimin dared to take action against the five surnames and Qiwang, it would be tantamount to angering the world's aristocratic families, and the consequences would definitely be terrible.

But if Li Shimin was pushed into a hurry, under such circumstances, it would not be a troublesome thing to get rid of them first, and the other aristocratic families would be appeased later.

Li Yongfeng added: "If I were him, I would definitely not let us leave Chang'an until the whole matter subsides. This is the safest way for him."

"That's right, that's it!"

The steward of the Zheng family said tremblingly: "When I came, I heard that all the city gates in Chang'an were under martial law, and everyone who entered or exited had to show their passports and verify that they were correct before they could leave, otherwise they would be arrested by officers and soldiers. "

It's true!

Their hearts sank.

"At this time, we must not act rashly."

Wang Yuanhua said loudly: "The arrest of the salt and iron merchants is not a big problem, at most it is a loss of some benefits. But the reason behind the arrest of officials is definitely not that simple. My brother Wang Gui is the doctor of the imperial history, and the imperial official is not Few people are his protégés, I asked him to ask what happened."

In addition to supervising all officials, the Yushi doctor can also comment on the emperor's faults.

"Judging from our current situation, that's the only way to go."

Lu Yulin's words immediately got their approval.

"Our account is very clean, maybe we can bite the imperial court."

Li Chengen agreed: "If you dare to cut off our interests, we will cut off his interests too."

After Wang Yuanhua left Cui's house, he immediately returned to his own home.

"Aye, have you received the message?"

Wang Rujing looked at a paper book, which was Li Yi'an's "Legend of the White Snake", and read it with gusto.

"Ru Jing, tell me the truth, before paying the salt and iron tax, did you know something inside?"

Wang Yuanhua was still surprised, how could Wang Rujing calculate so accurately.

"I can have any inside information, but it's just a guess."

Wang Rujing smiled and said, "The imperial court clearly wrote in the Chang'an Daily that Yantie should be rectified. Do you think Li Erlang wrote this for no reason? Certainly not, Aye should have been questioned by the other six, right?"

Her reason was really simple. She read the newspaper and felt that the court would make a big move, thinking that the salt and iron tax could not be avoided.

After seeing Li Yi'an, she confirmed her idea even more.

"Hmph! They laughed at our Wang family back then, but now they know how correct you are, Ru Jing."

Wang Yuanhua said displeasedly: "How dare you question me? He is jealous of us!"

Wang Rujing smiled and said: "It is true that we are jealous, because when I paid the salt and iron tax, I also handed over all the false accounts I made before and the evaded tax to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In comparison, we have not lost much. .As for the arrest of officials, it is likely to be related to the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Regarding his daughter's conjecture, Wang Yuanhua is convinced now. After thinking about it seriously for a while, the Yantie Division is managed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and if the officials are arrested, it is really related to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"This time, thanks to Ru Jing!"

Wang Yuanhua felt relieved, the Wang family was really lucky.

The other six are really idiots.

"I am also a member of the Wang family, so I should do so."

Wang Rujing said while reading.

"It's a pity, Ru Jing is a woman, and she will leave the Wang family after all."

Wang Yuanhua said reluctantly: "It's just that, in the past four or five years, there hasn't been any man who can make Ru Jing look up to."

Wang Rujing closed the pages of the book and said with a smile, "That's not necessarily the case!"

In her mind, the figure of Li Yi'an emerged.

In her heart, Li Yi'an had already been labeled as a passer. Except for him, all the other men could not even reach the threshold of passership.
