Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

The second prince's counterattack came quickly and fiercely. The only surprise was that he did not just suppress Xu Yixing's shop, but like a mad dog, he indiscriminately attacked all the government's industries centered on the capital.

The methods he used were very similar to those of Xu Yixing. He followed the rules in every aspect and could not find any mistakes. Although there were many complaints in the capital, no one could do anything when faced with a prince with high morale and an iron-faced and copper-pea.

That’s right, this time Shen Yue took the lead again.

It is said that he just went to the Second Prince to drink tea and heard some of the real situation in the capital. Then Lord Shen shook his sleeves and walked out of the "Qibei Palace" with a dark face. He returned to the Jingzhao government office and issued ten orders in a row.

This time, he was determined to put an end to this unhealthy trend in the capital!

At the same time, Xu Yixing asked the lawyer who had been prepared in advance to come in handy. In response to the second prince's suppression this time, her countermeasure was to passively resist but actively fight back.

The so-called passive resistance is to avoid the sharp edge and try not to cause any trouble at this time. After all, since the eldest prince angrily went to the palace to file a complaint, but was easily let go by the emperor, everyone understood the emperor's mind.

The plaque with six large characters "Built by Imperial Order for the Palace of the Prince of Qibei" is still proudly hanging on the Second Prince's palace. I'm afraid that if time goes on for a while, people in the capital will subconsciously think that there is a new prince in the capital.

Xu Yixing's attitude was to actively fight back. No matter what mistakes the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture found in the shop under her name, she would immediately send a lawyer to Shen Yue to appeal for justice.

Success or failure, every family filed the case again and again, arguing with the government officials, and even those who were familiar with the laws of Daxia were a little overwhelmed.

After all, Xu Yixing prepared a team of lawyers, but there was only one Shen Yue and the chief clerk of Jingzhao Prefecture. After a round-the-clock battle, they would be exhausted.

Xu Yixing only now realized that the tactics he had used since he was a child were the same. In the past, he used a war of attrition to wear down the innocent Sun Ziyou, and now he used the same trick again to damage Lord Shen's health.

In fact, Shen Yue could have reduced the number of battles, but his personality was such that he would handle every case. Therefore, after several confrontations, the other officials also learned their own ways. Whenever they found a mistake, they would go to find someone to complain first.

Did you arrest our boss? It doesn't matter. I sent people to the prison to take good care of him. As for when the store tax will be paid? I'm sorry, I don't know. The boss has no money, and there's nothing I can do!

But even with such resistance, under the intimidation of the Second Prince, many officials simply gave up resistance and silently watched this unknown team of lawyers charge forward and shoulder most of the pressure for everyone.

"Si Wen, the New Year is coming soon. I have only owned these shops for less than three months. I cannot afford this loss."

Xu Yixing looked at the thin account book in his hand. This was the first time he received dividends since these things belonged to him, but it was obvious that the situation was not optimistic.

Si Wen also had a sad face at this time, standing beside the table:

"Yes, our shop has suffered the least loss in the same situation. Fortunately, we have your lawyer to support us. Although it has slowed down the progress of our fine, it is still very difficult to deal with. For example, today, the chief clerk seized all the accounts of our South City Grain Shop and sealed them all."

The so-called shop, the word business comes first, the most important thing is the speed of collection of funds. It seems that the people of Jingzhao Prefecture have found a way to resist the lawyer, which is also a word, delay.

Anyway, no matter how much the government delays, people's salaries will still be paid. Once the shop is delayed and the capital chain is broken, it will be very difficult to revive it.

"We must hold on no matter what. Even though Shen Yue is in the front and is talking about the law, once we bow our heads, it will be easy for the Second Prince to punish us."

Si Wen had a strange expression on his face, and hesitated to speak: "Miss, if we do business properly, we can also make money... Why do we need to collect so much money..."

This is why Xu Yixing has been dragging her feet and refusing to admit defeat. There is indeed something wrong with her store's accounts. But it is not a precedent set by her, but has always existed. Her store has done everything from tax evasion to false accounts and smuggling of goods.

The only difference is that after Xu Yixing discovered these things, he quickly and forcefully transferred the illegal income to his own name instead of giving it to its original owner, his father.

Dad knew this, but neither of them said it out loud. It was a war without gunpowder and a victory. After all, the money was obtained by fighting for power with dad. How could I give it to the government so easily? Wouldn't I have worked in vain?

"It's useless to be a businessman under the control of officials in Beijing. Otherwise, why don't I just become a businessman instead of worrying every day in this room?"

Everything costs money. Strictly speaking, there are only two masters in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, but there are more than 300 people to support them. Although these people are supported by Lu Anyuan's salary and Qinan's money, Xu Yixing himself also needs money.

It costs money to make clothes, it costs money to make jewelry, it costs money to go out, it costs money to give rewards, it costs money to find out the truth, and it costs money to take revenge. Although Lu Anyuan never deducted her money, it was always better to have money than to ask for it from others.

Si Wen let out a long sigh, knowing that the young lady said this because she was determined to go against the Jingzhao Prefecture and the Second Prince.

"Well, I will definitely protect these properties, but this year's dividends... can only be this way. Miss, are you short of money?"

Xu Yixing blinked. It was actually okay now. She still had some money in her private vault. However, compared with the variables she might face in the future, this money was simply a drop in the bucket.

Just what if, what if Lu Anyuan was ambushed one day and reprimanded by the emperor like the second prince, maybe then I would have to spend money and use my connections to save him.

"Who would complain about having too much money? Okay, I've looked at these accounts. Take them out and keep them safe. I'm bored, so I'm going out for a walk."

Xu Yixing put on his cloak and went to the back garden. Si Wen also left with the account book.

The master was not at home, and it was time to clean the bedroom. Xiaoshe walked in quietly. Although there was no one there, she was used to speaking softly.

I first tidied up the messy bed, then turned around and saw that the sachet beside the bed seemed to be covered with dust, so I took it down and wiped it.

But somehow, the tassel of the sachet seemed to be tangled with the tassel of the bed curtain, and no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't pull it off. With another push, the sachet fell to the ground with a thud, rolling several times before it came to a stop.
