Survival countdown

Zhao Chongjin glanced at Zhao Baiyu, and said, "Fang Xingwen is the most important witness to the luck of smuggling salt in Zhejiang, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. 200 million stones of smuggled salt are pulled from various salt fields every year, distributed in the north and south, and have a deep relationship with our salt and iron department." , the rest of the people are afraid that there may be omissions in this case, so why don't you leave it to our company to investigate?"

Shan Qian waved his hand: "Do you think that the ability to bring criminal cases to prison is not as good as your Yantie Division?"

Zhao Chongjin: "The lower officials have absolutely no such intentions."

Shan Qian snorted coldly: "Everything is handled according to the rules and regulations, and whatever the yamen should do, they can do whatever they want! Of course, you can rest assured that you were the one who caught the private salt case, and no one will fight with you. There are a lot of credits!"

After saying that, with a big wave of his hand, someone will come in and take Fang Xingwen away.

Zhao Baiyu took two steps forward, stood in front of Fang Xingwen and cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency's words are true, but serving the imperial court does not distinguish between high or low ranks or the size of the yamen, just as the case of illegal salt smuggling was the result of Judge Zhao, Shuai Hu and his subordinates. It was only through the cooperation of the officials that they were able to catch it. It was an act of not sticking to the regulations and making changes in power. Even if the report was reported to the court, His Majesty would not blame Hu Shuai for dispatching troops from other provinces, but would reward him greatly. The same reason you You should be able to understand, since Fang Xingwen is in our hands, why bother to send him to the Criminal Prosecution Division for interrogation? Judge Zhao has already obtained the evidence, and before you come in, the subordinate officials should quickly ask Fang Xingwen's accomplices."

He changed the subject and pointed at Fang Xingwen.

"Fang Xingwen is not only a criminal, but also an important witness. Now he is seriously injured, and he is afraid of his life. It is not suitable to move around. If the Shanda people still think that Judge Zhao's detaining Fang Xingwen is acting beyond his authority, he can send it to my Cao Si."

Shanqian: "Sending to Caosi is not the same as walking around? It's also walking around, why not send to Shuaisi?"

Zhao Baiyu: "The Shuaisi yamen is not in the house! The road is bumpy, and other criminals die on the road before reaching the place. How should the lord explain?"

Shanqian: "But you, Cao Si, have no right to adjudicate the case and go to jail! It is indeed an act of flexibility and helplessness to catch the smuggled salt. I understand that Mr. Zhao is cautious, but I can't trust all the officials in this province. I understand you. Don't think that I'm really afraid of you if you and the commander-in-chief of Jiang Dong privately communicated with each other to borrow troops! It's understandable to change the power for a while, but you still want to change the power for the rest of your life? Everyone uses the power to change If you use it as an excuse, you don't have to abide by the laws of the country, and you don't have to talk about the regulations in everything!"

Shaking his sleeves angrily, Shan Qian shouted coldly: "Put my official words here, man, I have to take them away! You, Zhao Baiyu, are not an imperial envoy, nor are you a judge in the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture. You have no right to judge cases in prison! Fang Xingwen's case , must be handed over to the Jiangxi Criminal Division to take care of it!"

Zhao Baiyu felt a surge of anger in his heart: "The envoy didn't come, so you grab the case for him first, my lord, are you upholding the laws and regulations of the country or are you trying to silence others for your own selfishness? Human infidelity?"

"Presumptuous!" Shan Qian angrily scolded: "Do you dare to slander the current second-rank official? I am one level older than your official, and I am still your superior! Based on your words, and your overreaching and interfering with other positions, this official will I can go to the imperial court to punish you in one piece!"

Zhao Baiyu: "The lower officials are waiting for your lord's participation."

Shanqian stared: "You!"

Zhao Baiyu had a cold face: "I also put my words here, man, you can't take them away. The case must be judged by me."

As soon as the words fell, the fire outside suddenly brightened, bright as day, and a large group of soldiers and horses quickly surrounded the cell, and two officials walked out from the soldiers and horses. between.

With a smile on his face in the purple robes, he moved forward and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Jiangxi Provincial Envoy, has met Shan Shuai Envoy and Zhao Cao Envoy."

The crimson official robe also clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the prefect of Hongzhou, has seen the two adults."

The person who came here was Tang Tixing and Guan Wenbin, the prefect of the province.

"You two came just in time." Zhao Baiyu guessed that there was a collusion between the government and businessmen, but he didn't expect that they were so powerful that they could catch someone with their front foot, and they would be able to arrive at the first time after thousands of miles.

Tang Ti Xing said with a smile: "A lower official is in charge of a province to raise a sentence. Whenever there is a prison to decide a case, there is a lower official. What's more, the case of illicit salt luck is serious. It is dereliction of duty if you fail to catch it yourself. How dare you delay?"

Guan Wenbin nodded again and again: "The same is true for the lower officials. The same is true for the lower officials."

Shanqian had a smug smile on his face: "It's just in time. Now all the officials in the provincial government who have the power to adjudicate cases are in place, and the three court trials will not be a problem, so don't worry about Mr. Zhao being imprisoned." Looking around, he said again: "However, Mr. Zhao is right in saying something. The prisoner is seriously injured and cannot be moved, so he should stay here. Presumably Judge Zhao will not refuse this small request, right?"

Zhao Chongjin was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Dare not to follow orders."

Shanqian laughed loudly, ordered officers and soldiers to surround the cell, and drove both Zhao Baiyu and Zhao Chongjin out.

The officers and soldiers who were ordered to come to drive away the people also said to Zhao Baiyu: "The Commander-in-Chief said it, please explain it to the Commander-in-Chief Hu as soon as possible, and withdraw the troops back to his Jiangdong, lest the local admonition officer be moved by the news and not wait for the Commander-in-Chief to plead for mercy." I will join you and Hu Shuai in the capital first."

Zhao Baiyu put his hands in his hands, expressionless, and looked back coldly.

The officer and soldier spat on the ground: "Unlucky."

Just when Zhao Chongjin thought he couldn't help but explode, Zhao Baiyu turned around and left.

Zhao Chongjin was surprised, and chased after him: "I thought you would charge in with troops."

"That's Hu Heyi's soldiers. I have no right to mobilize them. What's more, when the mountains and Guizhou are prepared, only the commanders, criminals, and magistrates have the right to investigate cases. Neither you nor I have the right to enforce the law across provinces. Hu Heyi agreed to mediate Soldiers, one is for the princess, and the other is for meritorious service, and now they accept it when they see good results, and the credit will not be robbed, so naturally it is impossible to conflict with Shanqian again."

Zhao Baiyu said calmly: "Hu Heyi seized smuggled salt across provinces to adapt to the power, and the conflict between the deployment of troops and Shangui was an attempt to rebel. He is very clear-headed."

Fang Xingwen has all the evidence of salt smuggling, so no one has him in the hands of Zhao Chongjin's plan now.

It's just that Zhao Baiyu sent troops to find out Fang Xingwen in order to open the gap for smuggling in the water transport, but now his efforts were in vain and he was lost. Can he remain calm?

"Aren't you angry?"

"Which eye of yours sees me and is not angry?"

Zhao Chongjin choked for a moment. To tell the truth, Zhao Baiyu didn't seem to be angry at all. Most people show violent emotional ups and downs when they get angry, and even lose their minds, but Zhao Baiyu looked quite calm.

"A high-ranking official crushes people to death. I have suffered from this in the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture."

As soon as Shanqian mentioned the Criminal Division and the prefect of Hongzhou, Zhao Baiyu knew that Fang Xingwen would not be able to keep him.

"Shanqian can use Cao Shi's lack of power to investigate the case and the fact that the officials are first-level to suppress me, and cut off the beard from me, and I can also use my Cao Si's supervisory power to intervene in this case. He wants to be silent. I hope my attention will be diverted if I solve Fang Xingwen, and it will be much easier to borrow troops from him at this time."

"Borrowing troops requires a reason."

"The evidence in your hand will arrest many people?"

Zhao Chongjin frowned: "The case is in their hands now, if I rashly say to arrest other people, they may even suppress the evidence in my hand."

"The private salt case can't be overturned. They plan to cut off the tail to survive. If you arrest people, as long as you don't touch the water transport, they will respond positively. Only by participating in it can you minimize your own losses. Of course, your cooperation with me is seen in their eyes. Obviously you borrowed troops, but I actually used them. Use this trick to appease me first, divert my attention, and also spy on me—rather than letting Hu Heyi and I team up to raid their hometown by surprise, it would be better to keep me under their noses. Safety."

The old god Zhao Baiyu said: "This is one. The second is to appease me, so that I don't want to go crazy and fight with them."

Zhao Chongjin suddenly realized, looking at Zhao Baiyu was full of surprise and admiration, the description of Zhao Baiyu in Sanlang's letter was exaggerated, but now it seems to be more colorful.

"The last reason." Zhao Baiyu looked at Zhao Chongjin coldly, and said, "You should also do something. I can't work hard alone, and I will be disheartened. Instead, you will take all the benefits alone."

It's also the same as what Saburo said in his letter, you can't suffer.

Zhao Chongjin scratched his nose and said: "Okay, this matter is indeed at your disadvantage. I will do three things for you, provided that it is within my ability."

Zhao Baiyu: "Yes."

There is cheap and no bastard.

After parting ways with Zhao Chongjin, Zhao Baiyu's calm expression disappeared, and his expression was solemn. The main reason why he didn't tell Zhao Chongjin that Shangui would definitely borrow troops was that there were two groups of forces wrestling with each other, and Shangui needed to borrow him. Go to another group of forces.

At present, it is certain that Hu Heyi is from the camp of Princess Changping. The appearance of Shanqian shows that he is in the same boat as the Shang Gang. Guan Wenbin and Tang Tixing appear at the same time. They are temporarily on the same side as Shanqian. camp.

Zhao Baiyu took advantage of Hu Heyi to hit the private salt, regardless of whether Princess Changping participated in it or not, in the eyes of another group of people, using private salt to beat the business gang is what Princess Changping meant.

In order to play chess, another group of people are willing to use their strength to let him fight Princess Changping in order to strike a balance.

"Two groups of people... Princess Changping can spread her influence in Liangjiang, I can understand it, but how did Jiangxi merchants do it? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, Chen Luowude, who can make the second and third grade officials of Liangjiang all become merchants?" Sell ​​your life?"

Zhao Baiyu suddenly became curious.

And Zhao Chongjin, with his salt and iron judge, he can solve this huge case of illegal salt smuggling in just two years?

***

Before Hu Heyi led his troops back to Jiangdong, he received a letter of greeting from Princess Changping. After cleaning up, he came to pay his respects.

It is vaguely discernible that she is making tea. There is no incense in the hall, but it is decorated with the scent of melons, fruits and flowers. The purple sand pot on the red clay stove emits white water vapor, enveloping the graceful figure of the woman.

"What can I do for the princess? But please tell me, I will obey everything." Hu Heyi knelt down, his tone full of sincerity and humbleness.

"Zhao Baiyu asked you to borrow troops?"

"Yes." Hu Heyi explained the reasons why he agreed to borrow troops: "Ji Xingbang is His Majesty's man, that is, His Majesty's man. Even if the business gang wants to teach Ji Xingbang a lesson, they should take care of your face. I think it's because of their arrogance all these years." If you are arrogant, you dare not look at your eyes and act."

"The business gang is not clean, and Ji Xingbang's case can be so ugly... Huh! A word of money, a literati is elegant and bribed. The local emperor is used to it, thinking that everyone in the world is stupid. I didn't realize that they have the emperor and their old age. The emperor who had no way was different."

Saying that the first emperor was fatuous and immoral to his face, Princess Changping, who was used to being domineering, dared to say so.

Hu Heyi bowed his head, not daring to respond.

Chang Ping poured the tea: "Tell me, exactly how Zhao Baiyu persuaded you to send troops."

Hu Heyi confessed everything that Zhao Baiyu had said. Of course, there was a need to omit what should not be said, and he shut up and waited for Princess Changping's reaction when he was sure there was nothing more to say.

A suffocating silence ensued.

Hu Heyi frowned, and when he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the princess's wild laughter, and subconsciously raised his head to find that Princess Changping was lying on the ground with laughter, her shoulders were trembling, she raised her hand, and waved her palm, the maids who were as silent as wooden stakes said Then he came out and opened the pearl curtain.

Hu Heyi's pupils reflected Princess Changping's more beautiful and mature face, which showed no signs of aging, and her heart beat faster.

"My good son said that being close to the country is timid?"

"Yes. As a child, I naturally admire my biological parents. Zhao Baiyu and Your Highness have been away for 20 years. I am eager to meet you, but I am also afraid of meeting you. I don't know how to deal with myself... that should be the meaning."

"He said that the tin hairpin in his hand was a private gift from me?"

"He didn't say it clearly, both inside and outside the words hinted that His Highness has had a lot of contact with him in private over the years." Why do you ask so much? "Could it be that Zhao Baiyu lied to me?"

"Hu Heyi, Hu Heyi, do you think you were really deceived by Zhao Baiyu, or did you use Zhao Baiyu to make meritorious service and come to my princess mansion by the way, so as to kill two birds with one stone?"

"I am terrified!" Hu Heyi stared straight at the bright and intelligent woman in front of him, making no secret of his covetousness: "I want to help His Highness, and I also want to see and talk to His Highness."

Princess Changping sneered, raised her index finger and tapped on the table repeatedly, showing no interest in Hu Heyi's admiration: "When Zhao Baiyu comes to you in the future, tell me everything he said and did, and let me Find some fun. Well, go back to your Jiangdong."

Hu Heyi was reluctant, but seeing a trace of murderous intent in Princess Changping's cold eyes, he immediately shuddered, and reluctantly withdrew from the Princess Mansion, and led his troops back to his Jiangdong.

As soon as Hu Heyi left, the female officer next to Changping came forward to wipe her hands: "Hu Heyi is greedy and wants both, but maybe he is right in saying that a son of man naturally admires his biological mother, and that child suffered a lot in the Zhao residence. , and even fantasize about and look forward to his biological mother. Maybe this time I deliberately found Hu Heyi to borrow soldiers, just to sell him to you."

Changping lay lazily on the bed, half closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and let the female officer wipe her hands and squeeze her shoulders.

"Since he wants his biological mother and wants to be filial at your knees, why doesn't the princess follow his wishes?"

Changping's voice was very soft: "I'm afraid that when I see that little bastard, I won't be able to help but let him die in Liangjiang, that would be no fun."

Female officer: "Last time you used your connections with the 38 prefectures of four provinces to get Ma Deyong, but you were a little impatient. Liangjiang was targeted, and His Majesty sent Zhao Baiyu to stare at Liangjiang and your Highness. If you want to play the emotional card, why don't your highness take advantage of Zhao Baiyu's step to go down and sell your majesty?"

"You don't know the lonely emperor. He has been suspicious of me since Ma Deyong bought 200 million stones of official food within ten days and re-shipped the Yingde stone. Afterwards, the 180 official joint name Baozuo, it is easier Not me."

The female officer was stunned: "Since Your Highness has guessed His Majesty's thoughts, why do you insist on going your own way? We have lived comfortably in Liangjiang for 20 years, why do we have to go back to Beijing?"

"It's not that I have to go back to Beijing, it's that His Majesty can't take it anymore." Changping stared at the white smoke rising from the incense burner, his eyes were cold: "Huainan's officialdom will be rectified, I expected it." She changed the topic, "Otherwise you Why do you think I agreed to the request made by the Gan businessman?"

Among the 180 people who co-signed to protect Ma Deyong, half of them used the contacts of the Ganxi Business Gang. Chen Luowu asked her not to intervene in Ji Xingbang's plan to bring down Ji Xingbang in the future, so he was willing to lend half of the contacts.

Changping agreed.

But she was indeed as Zhao Baiyu and Zhao Chongjin had guessed, she had long been dissatisfied with the threat of the Ganxi Merchant Gang, and had been dissatisfied with the Ganxi Merchant Gang for taking half of the benefits of the Liangjiang Water Transport for a long time.

The Ganxi Merchant Gang's move to overthrow Ji Xingbang will divert Emperor Yuanshou's attention, and it will also make it easier for her to fully control Liangjiang's plan in the future.

"Two Rivers Water Transport, I want it. Kyoto Prefecture, I want to go back." Changping has always been an ambitious woman, and she must get what she wants. "Now it's up to the strategist behind Chen Luowu to make a move."

***

The luck of smuggling salt involved two provinces, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was handed over to Jiangxi provincial commander, criminal envoy and prefect of Hongzhou for joint trial to jointly verify this major case.

And these three people and Liangjiang's water transport and salt merchants have somewhat entangled interests in the network, so they naturally try to minimize the severity of the case, and try to protect those who can. If Fang Xingwen dies, countless salt merchants will rise up. It is very difficult to repair the torn business network.

The smuggling of salt used two official ships built by the Southeast Sixth Route Shipping Department, so the Shipping Department must be held accountable.

Zhao Baiyu originally thought that the smuggling of water transport and the Southeast Sixth Road Shipping Division would definitely be inseparable. If the two official ships used by the Salt Gang smugglers could be used to drag the Shipping Division into the water, or try to contain it, the smuggling of water transport in Liangjiang could also be curbed.

The clinker shipping department preemptively took the account book and remanded the guards who came to the shipbuilding department to guard the official ships. In the 19th year of Yuanshou, the shipbuilding department returned a batch of unqualified official ships. They originally asked the subordinates to destroy them. Unexpectedly, someone The guards stole and sold two of the slightly flawed official ships, and those two official ships were the official ships used by the Salt Gang to transport smuggled salt.

Shui Honglang threw the guards in front of Tang Tixing and Guan Wenbin, and said in front of Zhao Baiyu who came to ask the case: "I have found out the cause and effect, and brought all the people and material evidence. The southeast six roads are wronged by the mouth! I was lucky for the private salt, and the loss was huge. It was indeed the negligence of my shipping department. If there is any loss, just report it to the imperial court and impose any punishment.

After saying that, he turned his head and left, when he passed by Zhao Baiyu, he stared at him fiercely and snorted heavily.

Zhao Baiyu was indifferent, and brushed off his sleeves like dust. Shui Honglang, who was at the door, glanced back inadvertently, just in time to catch a glimpse of this scene.

Tang Tixing and Guan Wenbin are both lower in official rank than Zhao Baiyu, and they finished the case according to the procedure. Although they knew that Zhao Baiyu had no right to adjudicate the case, but the other party came to the yamen early in the morning and sat there, there was really nothing to do. Audaciously ignoring people.

"My lord, you have listened to and read the process of questioning and the content of the evidence, but do you still have questions?"

Zhao Baiyu smiled, "I told you to do it so perfectly from beginning to end, how can I have any doubts?"

Tang Tixing lowered his face: "This case was handled fairly from the beginning to the end. We dare to pat our chests and guarantee that there is no partiality. Please don't slander me."

Zhao Baiyu was surprised: "I didn't slander, why did I slander? I said that when you investigated the case, you sorted out the beginning and the end of the case. I praised you." He leaned forward, stared at the two of them and said, "You two adults should It’s not because you have a guilty conscience that you react so much, you misunderstood me, right?”

Tang Tixing and Guan Wenbin showed embarrassment for a moment, and the latter smiled apologetically: "No...no, I think the same as your lord."

Hearing this, Tang Tixing glared at Guan Wenbin. Isn't he the only one left thinking too much?

He looked at Zhao Baiyu, and quickly apologized with a smile: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan is the same, just now Xiaguan was so busy that he was dizzy and confused."

Zhao Baiyu waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I still can't understand the small thoughts of your subordinates? I'm too lazy to argue with you. Is the commander in chief here?"

Guan Wenbin: "I am a guest at the humble mansion."

Zhao Baiyu: "I want to use soldiers, you go and tell him."

Guan Wenbin: "Let me talk? What if the commander-in-chief disagrees? My lord, you won't punish me."

Zhao Baiyu: "Just tell him, if he disagrees, I'll ask Hu Heyi to borrow troops."

Guan Wenbin said with a bitter face: "...Yes."

Zhao Baiyu looked at Tang Tixing: "How many people have been arrested in Fang Xingwen's case?"

Tang Tixing: "Fang Xingwen is seriously injured, and his consciousness is still not clear. I heard that Yantie judge Zhao Chongjin has asked in advance the people who participated in the smuggling of salt, and made a list. The next official is going to find him."

"That is to say, no one has been arrested yet?"

"The small fish and shrimp involved in the case have basically been caught, and the next step is to catch the big fish."

"Then you work hard."

Zhao Baiyu walked towards the gate of the yamen with his hands in his hands, and before leaving, he told Guan Wenbin to remember to remind Shanqian to borrow soldiers, and he was waiting at home.

***

Guan Wenbin wiped off the sweat from his head and came to the courtyard where Shanqian lived. He happened to pass by Zhao Chongjin who came out of it, and he couldn't help wondering what he was doing here.

Before he had time to think deeply, he was called into the house by Shanqian, and he would briefly explain his intentions in the future.

After Shanqian listened, his expression couldn't tell the depth of his thoughts: "Have you seen Zhao Chongjin?"

Guan Wenbin nodded quickly.

Shan Qian: "He took the lucky list of smuggled salt in his hand and said that he would cooperate with us in the trial, and the request is that I agree to Zhao Baiyu's borrowing of troops."

Guan Wenbin was surprised, and quickly realized: "This Zhao Chongjin is the second son of Zhao Zaizhi's family, and he and Zhao Baiyu are half brothers, so they support each other and take care of each other."

He didn't know how much Zhao Zaizhi's family disliked Zhao Baiyu, but he thought it was the brothers in the ordinary family who supported each other.

"What I'm wondering is what is Zhao Baiyu borrowing soldiers for?"

Guan Wenbin didn't understand either. It stands to reason that he had caught all the major salt smuggling cases. Hu Heyi's soldiers had just returned to Jiangdong, so there shouldn't be a place where officers and soldiers were needed.

How can he have a chance to use soldiers as a Cao Si envoy?

"Find an excuse to refuse. Zhao Baiyu is not kind, and he is too troublesome. The brothers joined forces and took our private salt in one fell swoop. If they continue to be so fierce, by the time his tenure ends, Liangjiang will not be able to live without us." land."

"You mean Zhao Baiyu will continue?"

Guan Wenbin said casually: "It's human nature to take advantage of the victory and pursue the pursuit."

"That's right!" Shan Qian slammed the table, and Guan Wenbin was startled. "The various attitudes of officials can be summed up in two types: honest officials and corrupt officials. Neither the honest officials nor the corrupt officials are like Zhao Baiyu, who acted like a vice-fighter when he took office. Why do you think he dared to target Liangjiang?"

Guan Wenbin shook his head.

Shanqian: "Because he was ordered by the emperor to investigate Liangjiang officials!"

Guan Wenbin was terrified when he heard the words: "According to the emperor's order? Check Liangjiang? Majesty, Your Majesty suspects Liangjiang?"

Shanqian wondered to himself what caused Emperor Yuanshou to be suspicious of Liangjiang. Is it because many officials jointly signed up to protect a state judge?Or the case of Ji Xingbang who was framed and sacked by Jiangxi merchants?Or did the two things before and after arouse Emperor Yuanshou's suspicion?

"No matter what it is, it's best to bring the disaster to the east, and don't implicate me."

As long as Zhao Baiyu finds out about the Ganxi Merchant Gang, he will be found out sooner or later. The best way is to divert his attention, make him suspect another force entrenched in Liangjiang, and then take action to deal with it. Ganxi merchants cleared out the share of water transport.

"Go, go and reply to Zhao Baiyu, and say that I agree to borrow troops until Fang Xingwen's case is over."

Let Zhao Baiyu target Princess Changping!

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The two rivers are deep and difficult to deal with.

Looking at the Huainan case that rescued [-] officials in the Baiyu case, and the Liangjiang case that killed [-] officials, the huge contrast shows the difficulties of Liangjiang.

In the case of Huainan, Baiyu has a lot of information, and several forces understand it very well. The most important thing is that he is an imperial envoy with the greatest power, unparalleled.

So it is easy for him to check.

When he arrived in Liangjiang, he had no soldiers and no power, and there were several senior officials over his head. More importantly, he didn't know how deep the water in Liangjiang's officialdom was.

So he fights with others, back and forth, and he will definitely run into a wall. If everything goes smoothly, then Liangjiang's officialdom will be too useless.

There is a saying in the art of war: Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. If you don’t know the situation, you can only fight blindly first, looking for the opening to break the game, and then you can figure it out.

White fish will feel tricky and stumble, but after figuring it out, it will be smooth.

In addition, even if Fang Xingwen stayed in Baiyu's hands, it would not have much effect. According to the article, a group of officials teamed up to cover up Fang Xingwen's case.

But Fang Xingwen's case is already a gap, provoking a conflict of interest between the princess and the business gang.
