Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"I have been doing everything according to Your Majesty's wishes. If I have accidentally offended others, please forgive me." Li Yuyan said with a smile.

"No problem!" Linghu Longyan tilted his head and walked past Li Yuyan, then sat down on the recliner in the main seat with Li Chongzhong.

After Linghu Longyan left, Su Leiye whispered to Li Yuyan, "Sir, Linghu Longyan clearly has ulterior motives. I'm afraid he won't stop here."

Li Yuyan's eyes were fierce, but his expression was still cold. "I'm afraid he will do nothing."

The merchants who came to participate in the bidding in person had already arrived one after another. They sat on the recliners nearby. Gong Zhanxian came with his son, but he didn't seem to recognize Linghu Longyan. He just bowed respectfully to Li Chongxin and Li Yuyan, and then sat down.

If it hadn't been discovered before that he was secretly dealing with Linghu Longyan, who would have known that they were a gang?

However, Gong Zhanxian's complexion did not look very good, his eyes were red, as if he did not get enough sleep.

Li Yuyan walked to his seat silently and sat down. He was the imperial envoy, and no one knew what the result of today was except him. Although many people secretly conveyed to him, asking him to understand the current situation and not offend the dignitaries in the capital.

Sooner or later it will offend anyone anyway, so who cares how many or when?

Before going to Xiangmu Island, he had found out that those involved in the Gong family's business included Empress Linghu and two other noble concubines in the palace, and those outside the palace included the Fourth Prince's wife, the Third Prince's wife, and Princess Su Yan.

He knew that Li Yunze and the Sixth Prince had always been close, and he didn't know whether he knew about his wife's performance in Baiyue City, so he passed the news to him. He didn't know what Li Yunze would do.

As for the Bai family of Xuanmu Mansion, besides Concubine Lu De, there is also Princess Mudan. Now that Xiao Nianguang has been sent back, I wonder what Princess Mudan wants to do?

Suppressing all the thoughts in his mind, Li Yuyan began to read aloud the official documents that His Majesty had previously officially issued.

There are a total of ten businessmen here today, but the most competitive ones are the Gong family and the Bai family. The others seem to be just supporting roles, but most people know that the Gong family is the most likely to get such a bid, as there are too many noble people behind the Gong family.

If the Gong family cannot get any benefits, it is equivalent to these nobles not being able to get any benefits.

Li Yuyan would not be so stupid as to offend those nobles at the same time.

After listening to Li Yuyan's loud reading, Gong Zhanxian's originally unsightly expression eased and a bright smile curved up his lips.

It seemed that the title of imperial merchant was already something in the Gong family's pocket.

However, when the bids were opened, the final result was unexpected.

Is it the Fang family?

How could it be the Fang family?

Everyone showed a look of shock and looked straight at Li Yuyan.

"Li Yuyan! You are considering personal relationships!" Linghu Longyan flew into a rage, he was determined to win this bid.

If the business of exporting salaries was not under the control of the Gong family, then what his Linghu family wanted to do in the future would definitely not be possible. Moreover, the customs of the Tang Dynasty were becoming more and more stringent. Only by obtaining sufficient capital from the imperial merchants who exported salaries could he achieve his goal. Otherwise, all the hard work and sweat he had put in by the Gong family would be in vain.

Gong Zhanxian was even more surprised. The expression on his face changed several colors in a blink of an eye. It was impossible to tell whether he was angry or happy. It seemed that there was a hint of detachment.

The most calm person was Fang Shengjing.

This was an unexpected surprise, but when he thought that the Fang family's future fate would be in the hands of this Lord Li, he felt very sad. In any case, it was at least better than being suppressed by the Gong family.

Li Yuyan slowly turned around and looked at Linghu Longyan with cold eyes, "General Linghu, your words are biased towards me. How can I be considerate of you? Do you have any solid evidence to ask you?"

Linghu Long was so angry that he gritted his teeth and had a gloomy face. He regretted not sending a few more assassins to kill Li Yuyan that day. He felt that just warning him would be enough.

"How much did the Fang family bid? On what basis did they win the bid?" Seeing Linghu Longyan become so angry, Gong Zhanxian also stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction.

The other businessmen below were whispering to each other, wondering what exciting show would be performed today.

Li recovered from his shock and questioned Li Yuyan fiercely.

Li Yuyan asked someone to bring up all the bids. "The one with the best bid wins. The rule has been like that since ancient times. General Linghu, did I make a mistake?"

If we are saying that Li Yuyan made a mistake, then doesn't that mean that Your Majesty made a mistake?

Li Yuyan himself had said just now that he was doing things according to Wansui's will, so no one dared to respond to him. Although Linghu Longyan looked furious, he was still rational and would not jump into such a trap.

The current price of the Fang family's bid is only ten point and one tael less than that of the Gong family!

Ten point and one ounce!

Linghu Longyan only felt a fishy-sweet taste in his swollen throat and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Could it be that the Linghu family's many years of planning would be ruined because of this ten points and one ounce? It would be difficult to explain to the queen and his father when he returned. It would be a joke.

Fang Shengjing craned his neck to see Gong Zhanxian looking at him, and he immediately smiled warmly, "Boss Gong, thank you for letting me."

"As expected, Mr. Fang is brave and knowledgeable. This old man admires him." Gong Zhanxian smiled grimly. Judging from the situation today, the Fang family is clearly looking for Li Yuyan as a backer. As for the secret... it is probably not enough to threaten Fang Shengjing.

But how did Li Yuyan know the Fang family’s secret?

Could it be that he has discovered even the Gong family’s secrets?

Gong Zhanxian's spine immediately went cold. Thinking of the five hundred million taels of government silver that had been taken away by the court, he felt so painful that he could not speak. No, now was not the time to feel bad about the silver. He should worry about whether someone would find out that the Gong family had participated in laundering and looting government silver...

If the Gong family is really found out, he will definitely drag the person in the capital into it. After all, it is a matter of youth and everyone is involved.

Linghu Longyan knew that there was no way to change the final result today, and looked at Li Yuyan with a gloomy and terrifying look, "Little Master Li, you are very good."

Li Yuyan smiled faintly, "Thank you General Linghu for your praise."

"Hehe!" Linghu Longyan snorted heavily and strode out of the main hall with his head held high.

Li Zhongzhong shook his head towards Li Yuyan, his face full of pity, and lowered his voice and said, "Master Li, you... why are you doing this? Do you know who you have offended? How many people have you offended? Even if you have the support of the emperor, you can't stop these people from dealing with you."
