Your Majesty's three views follow the five senses

"Ah Yi, don't sit around and eat all the time, come and help me!" In the study of Prince Duan's mansion, Nan Wenqing retreated all the servants. He had already sat at the desk and flipped through the ledger all night. big.

The prime minister at the side collapsed on the chair, held an osmanthus cake in his mouth, stretched leisurely, and said with a smile: "Didn't your majesty always think that the minister has power and won't let him do anything, is it an eyesore? Nun, this minister Isn't it delegating power?"

Hearing this, Nan Wenqing twitched her lips, and said with a dark face, "Ah, at this time, settle the old accounts with me? That's fine, I'll make an order right now, and you come over immediately and read all these books, and you can't finish reading them." No eating or sleeping."

Saying that, he got up and grabbed the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of Xia Yi, and wanted to reach out to take the piece he was holding in his mouth, but the Prime Minister was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth: "It's gone, it's gone! !"

Gobbled it down, choked on it, and coughed violently.

"Aren't you afraid of choking to death? You know what to eat if you eat and eat, and you will die if you eat! The dignified prime minister came here with the imperial salary as the shopkeeper? Didn't you say that you don't like pastries?" Nan Wenqing showed disgust, but He didn't stop him, but poured a glass of water instead.

"Hey, isn't that my daughter-in-law's cooking skills?" Xia Yi took the cup with a playful smile, and even boldly took out a towel from the little emperor's arms to wipe his mouth.

"Who is your wife? You are talking nonsense about me one by one!" The little emperor hadn't finished speaking, but was hugged into his arms by the person on the chair.

"I've worked all night, and my heart aches. Duan Wang is not a fool, and he really handed over the account book so that you can't check it? Even if you rummage through this pile, you won't see anything." Xia Xia Yi asked Nan Wenqing to close his eyes and gently rubbed his temples.

While enjoying her husband's superb massage skills, Nan Wenqing said anxiously: "That's why I find it strange. In Liuzhou before, I found an official salt account book, and the salt tax paid by the same state was not less than a penny. There is a problem in the circulation of salt. But when I checked the account books of the same state just now, I found that Nan Manfeng seems to be subsidizing money to make up for the vacancy of the salt tax?"

"Could it be that Nan Manfeng has no objection, it's because he's afraid that he won't be able to pay the court's taxes so he did one by one." "Do you believe it?" Nan Wenqing interrupted him with a smile.

Xia Yi frowned and said: "That's weird, Nan Manfeng wanted to smuggle it out, but in the end the goods arrived in Liuzhou for handover. It seems that Yuzhou and Huaizhou were caught in the middle, and he was afraid of being alarmed King Huai and I took a long way down the river from Lingzhou to the north, but the Jiuqu River is connected to Mobei..." "But he didn't go by water." Nan Wenqing said in a deep voice.

What he was curious about was, if Nan Manfeng wanted to send this batch of goods to Mobei, why didn't he take the waterway?It is safe and cost-effective.

If it wasn't for making money, or selling salt and smuggling horses and armor from Mobei, why did he take the risk of beheading to do such a self-defeating thing?

"Salt smugglers have existed in all dynasties, and most of them are high-ranking officials and nobles. As long as they don't go too far, the court will let them go. But if it's a traitor to the enemy, it's different." Nan Wenqing said, sighing, He really didn't understand what was going on in his Uncle Wang's mind.

Xia Yi was thinking of comforting the little emperor who was sitting on his lap, but suddenly saw a black shadow flash past, something knocked off the night pearl on the desk, and it rolled a few feet away.

"Ah——丨" Before Nan Wenqing could react, she suddenly felt something soft and warm pressing on her feet. When there is movement, he sprints away.

"What are you making all the fuss about? It's just a mouse." But the mouse is indeed quite fat, Xia Yi couldn't help laughing as he looked at the little black figure running away.

"Are you afraid of mice?" The prime minister patted the little emperor's back, as if he had discovered something serious.

"You're afraid of mice! Suddenly a black shadow passed by, is anything enough to scare you?" The little emperor was angry, and he reached out and swung Xia Yi viciously with his fan.

"Pa——丨" The golden keel fan in Nan Wenqing's hand was not an ordinary fan, and it was painful to hit someone, but Xia Yi never knew how to hide.

Probably because he had been busy all night and his mind was not clear, and he didn't know the severity of the attack. When the fan was knocked down, Xia Yi groaned in pain, and there was a hideous red mark on his forehead.

Nan Wenqing: ...Xia Yi looked helplessly at the slightly startled little emperor, pinched his nose and said softly, "This is the first time I've been whipped, huh? Has your anger subsided?"

"Do you believe me when I say I didn't do it on purpose?" Nan Wenqing hesitated as he looked at the redness and swelling on his forehead.

He really didn't do it on purpose, besides, the prime minister is so good at kung fu, doesn't he know how to hide?

Well...it hurts a bit.

Xia Yi looked at the little emperor's insincere apology, but he was not angry at all, instead he rubbed his head.Afraid that he would feel guilty and sad, he put down the person in his arms, got up and picked up the luminous pearl that had fallen on the ground, and changed the subject with a smile: "If I remember correctly, this luminous pearl was bestowed by the late emperor. __Huh?"

Xia Yi just picked up the beads, but heard a "boom", followed by the sound of the mechanism turning.The bookshelf suddenly moved slowly. Looking over, there was a hidden door in the wall behind the shelf.

Although setting up a secret room in the study is just a common practice for those of them who are struggling in the officialdom, it is tacit understanding.

But it would be a pleasant surprise to be able to accidentally open the secret room of someone else's house.

By accident, the Ye Mingzhu unexpectedly rolled down to the entrance of a trap.

The mouse came at a perfect time.

What is this... a heavenly soldier?

Seeing this, Nan Wenqing was so pleasantly surprised that she got up quickly, and led Xia Yi to push the door in.

Seeing this, Xia Yi smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, this is the secret room of Prince Duan's Mansion after all. Wouldn't it be good for us to do this?"

The little emperor doubted: "What's wrong? Is it the king's land in the whole world, and I can't get in?"

Xia Yi: ...Although it makes sense, why do you feel like such a bandit?

Inside the door is a short corridor, at the end of which there is a stone staircase leading to the ground. Torches are inserted on both sides of the wall, so that it is not so dark that you can't see your fingers.

The two of them entered the door and walked down the stone ladder to the lower floor. They saw several large wooden boxes in the dark room. Nan Wenqing immediately went forward and used the hidden blade in the fan to pick open the iron lock. Inside the box was a stack of account books.

"There's nowhere to find it if you walk through iron shoes, and it's easy to get here!" Nan Wenqing quickly reached out and took out the ledgers. It seems that the pile of ledgers here are the real ledgers.
