The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

Xu Shiyin's expression changed slightly, and the cynical smile on his face also faded a little.

"Okay..." He spread his hands and admitted, "This number is indeed wrong. The real situation should be about three to four times this."

"But I don't mean to tell you this data, but..."

The meaning of the above.

Considering that Chi Chu was also sitting here, Xu Shiyin did not mention Kangdi's name explicitly.

However, the hint of stopping was already understood by Cen Jinzhao on the opposite side.

He nodded slightly without surprise.

Although Kangdi handed this matter over to him, it was true that he was wary of him, and it was normal for him to conceal data and interests.

only……

"I don't want this to happen again."

His voice was somewhat sinister, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Xu Shiyin's back tightened a little, and he nodded seriously: "Of course I understand this kind of thing. The data problem just now was so serious, I thought that Prime Minister Cen would definitely be able to see it, so I said that."

He found a random excuse for himself.

But only he himself knows how much of it is true or false.

The subsequent conversation between the two went relatively smoothly. After all, judging from the current situation, they were actually all employees of Kangdi, and there was nothing sensitive about the content of the conversation.

As the conversation was coming to an end, Xu Shiyin suddenly noticed that the man's voice had lowered at some point.

He looked to the side as if he understood something.

Sure enough, Chi Chu was leaning against the window and had fallen asleep without knowing when.

Her profile was delicate, and a ray of sunlight came in from the window, shining on her fair skin, making it look even more delicate and even slightly transparent.

After closing her eyes, her clean and harmless temperament became more obvious, making people want to protect her.

Cen Jinzhao's expression changed slightly.

Xu Shiyin stood up tactfully and said, "Since we have almost finished discussing the matter, I will take my leave now."

"No need to see you off." Cen Jinzhao responded indifferently.

After all, this is a horse carriage. Although Xu Shiyin tried his best to make his movements light, he still couldn't avoid disturbing Chi Chu who was standing next to him.

When he got off the car, Chi Chu also opened her eyes. Because she had just woken up, the little girl's eyes were a little wet and confused. She looked up blankly in the direction of Cen Jinzhao, as if she was wondering where she was.

Then, Chi Chu finally reacted: "Ah... Sorry, Prime Minister Cen, I just fell asleep without knowing what happened."

"Nothing. Your Highness can go sleep outside... It's not very comfortable to sleep here."

"It's better not to." Chi Chu shook her head in restraint. She stretched out her hand to cover her face, which was a little hot from the sunlight.

"...I want to ask you, Prime Minister Cen, a question, but I don't know if it's appropriate.

"You ask." Cen Jinzhao looked up at her.

"Were you and Mr. Xu just discussing the recent cooperation between the capital and the outside world?"

"Your Highness, do you know all this?" The man's low voice was tinged with surprise, and he couldn't help but ask back. Halfway through the question, he suddenly thought of the time he met Chi Chu outside the palace before, and he had a little idea in his heart -

I almost forgot that the princess I liked was actually far from being as harmless as she appeared.

She is a really pure-hearted girl, but in terms of sensitivity and methods in dealing with many things, she is actually quite good.

"That's right. Your Highness, is there anything you want to know specifically?"

"Well... I don't really want to know." Chi Chu organized his words. "The data that Master Xu just mentioned is wrong. Although he said later that it was about three or four times higher, in fact... it is still far more than that, at least seven or eight times."

Chi Chu started to analyze seriously.

She was quite sensitive to digital business itself, and she had studied history before. There were more than one examples of Xu Shiyin's tactics in history books.

Of course, the most important thing to prove her words is not just previous experience, but more importantly...

She saw the data about these things in Ning Hekun's "secret factory" outside the city, so she was able to come up with relatively accurate multiples.

"Both alcohol and salt are highly profitable industries. The figures he told you are too low. They are totally disproportionate to the current situation in the market. Moreover... the figures my father told Master Xu are not entirely true."

Emperor Kang was able to rise to power, and he was not a very incompetent ruler, so he naturally had the ability.

Although they said they were cooperating with the Imperial Merchants, they had already taken all the necessary precautions.

Each of these people is very suspicious and is wary of each other, which results in the data that reaches them becoming a little outrageous.

Cen Jinchao really never expected to hear these words from Chi Chu.

He thought Chi Chu would know about this, but he didn't expect that the other party's understanding was quite in-depth, not at all superficial as he imagined.

"Your Highness's insight is so profound that I am surprised." Cen Jinzhao narrowed his eyes. When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. "But Your Highness, don't worry. I have plans too."

To put it simply...

Cen Jinzhao was actually also on guard against Xu Shiyin.

He didn't think that the profit-driven businessman who had risen to prominence in just three years would really cooperate obediently before seeing the benefits.

"Yes, Lord Cen, it's good that you know." Chi Chu nodded, "I read all this from books, I'm afraid it may not be completely in line with reality."

"It's already great."

After all, this topic is quite sensitive, so the two did not continue to talk about it.

Cen Jinchao found some storybooks for Chi Chu to use to kill time - of course, Prime Minister Cen himself didn't actually read these things, he had just prepared them here this morning.

When it got dark, the day's journey finally came to an end.

The shadows of the hunting ground and the palace can be vaguely seen outside the window.

Chi Chu raised his head and blinked.

There is still one day left until the original owner's death...but she is very sure that she will turn tomorrow into the death anniversary of others.

Or to be bolder - tomorrow might be the day the prince falls.
