Yunqin Empire's Husi Royal Tax Officer, the sixth grade, is responsible for taxation matters in a province. Although he is not the most powerful official in a province, for a business, his power is naturally astonishing. There has never been such a situation.

Officials of high rank are afraid of the opinions of big business owners, and it is only right that big business owners try their best to curry favor with such officials.

Liu Xuanwei is a collateral branch of the Liu family and an uncle of Liu Ziyu. Before the summer solstice, he was transferred to Bishui Province and served as the imperial tax official. Bishui Province had just been established as a province with a sparse population and a large number of tax exemptions. Within a few years,

There won't be any money and the Liu family's real intention is naturally to target Da Dexiang, who has silently completed the amazing layout again.

Now that there is some definite evidence, the Liu family originally did not have to spend so much effort. However, in all the previous confrontations with Da Dexiang, the Liu family suffered successive defeats. No matter how powerful the people sent by the Liu family to investigate the Longshe Border Gate were,

No matter how much power was used, everyone would never come back, which made the Liu family somewhat unclear about what kind of strength Chen Feirong had in her hands.

And the most important thing is that the Liu family wants to use Chen Feirong, not to destroy Chen Feirong. After all, in the Liu family's view, the greatest value of Da Dexiang is also the legendary big shopkeeper.

Because he is a concubine of the Liu family, Liu Xuanwei's Liu family has been very cautious and knows how to judge the situation since he was a child. Therefore, when he went to Bishui Province and had several interviews with Chen Feirong, he did not behave forcefully, but was tactful.

He expressed the Liu family's wishes and revealed that he couldn't help himself. In this way, he felt that if he pushed Chen Feirong too far and took risks, it might give him a glimmer of hope.

He also knows very well that due to his position in the Liu family and his talents, it is impossible to obtain a high position in the Yunqin court. Therefore, for him, what he wants to pursue when doing things in the court is

Live longer and try to enjoy yourself as much as possible.

Liu Xuanwei, who deliberately walked all the way so that passers-by in the market town could see his whereabouts to avoid being directly silenced without evidence, walked into a shaved noodle shop with the best business in Da Dexiang. Under the guidance of a waiter

I got off the stairs and walked to the door of a private room by the window upstairs.

For Liu Xuanwei, the elegant private rooms in noodle restaurants are a product of arty style, which is equivalent to putting some bookcases as decorations in a farmer's house, but a bowl of hot and sour noodles and the flow of people here are not.

It can make him feel more at ease when discussing things with Chen Feirong.

He stepped into the door of this elegant room, but in the next breath, his figure stopped and his brows furrowed into a river-shaped frown.

Because in his sight, sitting in this elegant room was not only Chen Feirong, but also a young man with his back turned to him.

In the previous meetings with Chen Feirong, Chen Feirong was always alone. Now there was suddenly an extra person, which made him feel something was wrong, and he immediately hesitated.

"Master Liu, you can rest assured."

Looking at the middle-aged white-faced man with a furrowed brow who looked somewhat similar to Liu Ziyu, Chen Feirong smiled and said softly: "If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't be here today."

Liu Xuanwei was not unhappy at all because of Chen Feirong's words. His eyes flickered, but he said calmly, "Exactly." He closed the wooden door behind him and just wanted to ask the person next to Chen Feirong.

He was startled again by his identity as a young man, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

The young man sitting next to Chen Feirong at this moment is naturally Lin Xi, but at this moment Lin Xi's face is wearing an exquisite mask made by Chen Feirong. At this time, it naturally makes people feel very strange.

Lin Xi looked at Liu Xuanwei's features, saw the cautiousness in his eyes, and saw that his center of gravity was slightly tilted to the right, and that his body was ready to exert force at any time, smashing through the wall on his right and flying onto the street.

Smiling slightly, he knew that the character of the Liu family was very consistent with Chen Feirong's description.

"Chen Feirong is mine. To be more precise, I am the boss of Da Dexiang." Lin Xi said calmly without inviting the other party to sit down first.

Liu Xuanwei's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes were uncontrollably filled with astonishment. Even his left eyelid twitched violently. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

"I know that your Liu family must have carefully checked Da Dexiang and felt that Da Dexiang's background is extremely clean." Lin Xi's eyes became colder and she said sarcastically: "But if his background is really so clean, how can he have such confidence?

How can you let those practitioners who went to Dragon Snake Border never return?"

Cold sweat began to break out on Liu Xuanwei's forehead.

The other party's tone made him feel that things were already developing in the most unfavorable direction. However, he was not an inexperienced person after all, so he tried his best to control his emotions, looked at Lin Xi as calmly as possible, and asked in a humble tone.

Said: "I wonder whose property it is?"

"Is it Gu Yunjing?"

At this time, the fastest thing that appeared in Liu Xuanwei's mind was this thought.

Longshebianguan...power...the other party's cold and somewhat disdainful attitude...he couldn't find out the power of the Liu family, and all of this formed the word Gu Yunjing in his mind.

With Gu Yunjing's power, there doesn't seem to be any big problem in dealing with the Liu family.

"Are all your Liu family's advisers idiots?" However, he heard such a sentence.

He looked at Lin Xi in astonishment, and Lin Xi looked at him, making her eyes even more rude, disdainful and cold.

"Sir?" Lin Xi mocked: "Is the Liu family most afraid of just a certain adult in Zhongzhou City?"

Liu Xuanwei suddenly felt his heart tightening, sweat poured out of his back, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.

"You haven't thought about who Mu Chenyun is working for?" Lin Xi glanced at him lightly and said, "Where did it happen?"

"Of course." After a pause, Lin Xi then sneered: "If your Liu family can't even detect who Mu Chenyun is working for, then I doubt whether your Liu family has the ability to preside over the government affairs of a province."

The meaning of Lin Xi's words was very obscure. If it had been before, he might not have been able to understand it, because the emperor was behind Mu Chenyun's black market transactions. It had always been a secret that only a few people knew. Even after the emperor and the eldest princess challenged each other,

Before the Ming Dynasty, the eldest princess never thought that it was the emperor. But after the incident involving the Divine Elephant Army and the Heavenly Demon Heavy Armor in the Prajna Corridor, existences like the Liu family finally figured out the truth behind Mu Chenyun.

who is it.

As for ordinary businesses, if they were just bluffing, it would be impossible for them to know about Mu Chenyun, and it would also be impossible for them to know the secret military information of the Divine Elephant Army and the Heavenly Demon Heavy Armor so quickly.

Therefore, what Lin Xi wanted to express was extremely clear and obvious in Liu Xuanwei's mind.

And this meaning made Liu Xuanwei's breathing difficult.

"Could it...be the Holy One?" Thinking of the consequences that he and the Liu family would face if all this was true, Liu Xuanwei's hands began to tremble unconsciously as he struggled to say these words.

"Otherwise, how come the Liu family couldn't find out the details about Da Dexiang?"

"Otherwise, how could Mu Chenyun have been trading at the Dragon Snake Border before?"

"Otherwise, which official would dare to kill your Liu family members at Longshe Border without restraint?"

"Otherwise, why would Da Dexiang develop so fast?"

Lin Xi looked at Liu Xuanwei and asked four rhetorical questions in a row.

These four rhetorical questions will naturally have many other answers in normal times. The Liu family cannot find out the details of Da Dexiang. Naturally, it is possible that Da Dexiang really has no information. Mu Chenyun's transaction at the Dragon Snake Border does not mean that

The emperor controlled the black market transactions at the Dragon and Snake Border. Someone who dared to go on a killing spree at the Dragon and Snake Border might not be an official, but someone like Nangong Weiyang who dared to go on a killing spree in Biluo Mausoleum when Wenren Cang Yue was in charge.

Dexiang has grown so fast, and it is possible that it only relies on business operations.

However, under Lin Xi's deliberate guidance, Liu Xuanwei was naturally unable to form these assumptions in his mind at this moment. All the answers to the rhetorical questions in his mind naturally boiled down to one point: Da Dexiang was the emperor's secret property!

Because Da Dexiang belongs to the emperor, even with the power of the Liu family, there is no way to find out his background!

The emperor controlled the black market business at Longshe Border. Da Dexiang was doing something to launder the black money. That's why Da Dexiang's investment was so desperate and developed so fast. He had never looked down upon a force like the Liu family before.

Yi Gu... killed some of the Liu family's pursuers, just as a warning. However, the Liu family did not associate these things together at all, and still wanted to intervene, and finally forced Da Dexiang to reveal his backer.

But this backing is too big... Just one will can crush the Liu family to pieces.

"Since you are the Holy One...then why don't you remind us directly in some aspects, so that we made such a big mistake?" Liu Xuanwei looked extremely pale, looked at Lin Xi with difficulty, and asked.

Lin Xi was waiting for this sentence.

If evidence cannot be given to completely convince the entire Liu family, even if Liu Xuanwei is frightened today, it may cause some trouble in the future.

"idiot!"

Lin Xi uttered two words without politeness, looked at Liu Xuanwei and sneered: "Are the Liu family worthy? The most stupid thing about you is the same as what you are thinking now. Even if I point it out to you, you still want to see it.

What evidence is there to prove that Da Dexiang is indeed working for the emperor? You will still cause trouble. After all, your Liu family still has some talents that are of some use. Should we just abolish all the people in your Liu family and reduce their official positions?

Can we reflect on it?"

"It is precisely because of your stupidity that I have to pay special attention to you because of your intrusion, so that the Liu family will give up." Lin Xi increased her tone and said in a cold voice: "I only hope that the Liu family can do better in the future.

Be smart and be strict with your mouth, otherwise do you really think you dare not completely wipe out your Liu family from Yunqin?"

Every time Lin Xi said a word, Liu Xuanwei's heart trembled.

He could hear that Lin Xi said this and must be showing undoubted evidence.

Is it a token of the emperor, or is it a secret edict of rebuke?

He looked at Lin Xi and saw Lin Xi stretched out her hand.

However, he saw that Lin Xi's hands were empty. In the midst of shock, his breathing stopped completely, his eyes froze completely, and his body became completely stiff.

Lin Xi's hands were very smooth, and a layer of soul power began to shine in front of his eyes.

Then he saw that the pale yellow soul power formed dazzling golden lightning strips in Lin Xi's hands.

The soul power emerged from Lin Xi's hand more quickly and penetrated farther outside the body.

Then he saw it more clearly.

The golden lightning formed by the soul power twisted into one, like a golden dragon with fangs and claws. An unusually majestic and powerful aura filled this elegant room.

Everyone in Yunqin understands what it means when soul power is transformed into golden lightning.

Especially for a court official and practitioner like him, he can feel that this is absolutely true and there is no fraud.

After his mind went blank and his body stiffened for several breaths, there was a pop, and Liu Xuanwei, who was soaked in cold sweat, knelt in front of Lin Xi, his body trembling, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to raise his head.

When the pain of his knees landing heavily allowed him to regain some ability to think, he couldn't help but think that only the emperor and the prince could do such a thing in this world. However, the emperor naturally couldn't be here, and the prince was already dead.

…Could it be said that the prince is not dead? Or that the emperor actually has a son?

But no matter which hypothesis it is, the Holy Emperor used the death of the prince to launch a southern expedition and forced the Huang family and the Wen family to retreat... The secrets behind this series of events are definitely beyond the Liu family's ability to speculate or intervene. Even

Knowing these things may lead to the consequences of genocide.

At this time, he only felt that the Holy One was too scary, the Liu family was too terrible to discover the truth, and the Liu family was really stupid for not discovering some connections very early.

Lin Xi smiled mockingly.

At this time, his mockery was most true.

"Only your Liu family knows the things behind Dade Xianghe, so you should know exactly what to do." He glanced at Liu Xuanwei, who was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, and said calmly.

Liu Xuanwei kowtowed repeatedly, his face as white as paper, and said: "How dare our Liu family reveal even a single word to the outside world?"

"If you have any troubles in the future, you can ask the Liu family to help." Lin Xi made a gesture to get out of here, turned around, and spoke in Chen Feirong's ear with a voice that only Chen Feirong could hear.

Said something.

Chen Feirong seemed to be smiling but not smiling. After Liu Xuanwei rolled away and crawled away, she said in Lin Xi's ear: "Master, you are so powerful."

Lin Xi laughed and scratched her head in embarrassment, "Although I am a little proud...I will be a little embarrassed if you do this."
