Chapter 621
The black-clothed entourage looked at the face of the master. Since they were re-activated by His Majesty, everyone was excited, but he could feel that the master was not very interested. Others might not feel it, but he has followed the master for many years, and the master has not had much joy.
"How is Qin Feng?" The masked man suddenly said: "I have seen many smart people, but there are very few people who are as uncommon as him. No wonder His Royal Highness the Princess chose him before."
The man in black was stunned. He wanted to say that a mere Imperial Businessman had a business mind at most, but he wanted them to mobilize as if he was staring at the Marquis of Zhenbei. When he saw his master's eyes that were more lively than before, he hurriedly swallowed these words.
"By the master, this young master Qin has nothing special. He deals with different people every day and is related to his business. The subordinates of many people who come and go in the court have listed the list. Please check it out."
Qin Feng had a clear exchange with the officials in the court. He could count the ten fingers of the officials who had been in contact with him. The closest ones were Song Qingming and King Rui, followed by Guo Shitong, Huang Tang and Zheng Xiaoxiong. After counting later, he could not count them.
If the fifth prince can count, he can also make up the number, which can barely be considered more than five fingers.
The masked man looked through the names of the officials and looked up and said, "Where are the people dealing with the business?"
"That's more..." The subordinate thought of Qin Feng's jaw-dropping business and presented another densely written paper: "This person's business is diverse, except for the salt, sea transportation, casting and other industries that the three major royal merchants had long occupied."
The man in the mask looked through the instructions on the paper and said that this was obviously a businessman who really refused to enter the court and was more interested in business than in the court. However, this royal merchant came up with a way to sell charity to make Emperor Yuan happy.
If this person does not have the sense of touch of the court, he does not believe it. This person is not only very sensitive, but also knows how to meet his preferences. The result of the charity sale seems to have nothing directly to Qin Feng, but it is actually a big mistake!
Your Majesty originally intended to increase the commercial tax, so this matter would be temporarily suspended, which would be a good thing for Qin Feng, who was a royal merchant and a big business.
Is this person really sharing the worries for Emperor Yuan or doing it to avoid taxes?!
There are always some people in this world who are smarter and more evil. Qin Feng is just like this. If it were the latter, this son's mind would be so meticulous. Such a person became the righteous brother of the fifth prince. Who would know if he would support the fifth prince in fighting for the throne?
Not to mention others, King Rui and Song Qingming both had a good relationship with him. These two seemed to not stand in the sidelines or were not involved in the court dispute, but these two had a high status in the court. If you don’t say anything, you will respond to them. In addition to the official family, you may have a good impression of both of them.
There are quite a few officials from poor families, such as Song Qingming, who can both be used up. Qin Feng actually holds several good cards in his hand, and with this vast wealth, if this person wants to get involved in the court affairs, wouldn’t it be a threat?
It’s a pity that everyone underestimated him. It should be said that he was fascinated by his business style. The man in the mask closed his eyes slightly. Thinking of Emperor Yuan’s praise when he mentioned Qin Feng, the corners of his mouth bent slightly. Will Your Majesty also be misled?
Several men in black had already left their own busy schedule. The man in mask pressed his fingers on his temples. He couldn't help but think of the strange feeling outside the Muxian Pavilion during the charity sale that day. It was clear that someone was nearby!
"Go back to the house!" After the masked man said, the carriage headed towards the princess's house.
Almost at the same time, the wife of Wu'an Marquis and Xiao Lingyao were also sitting in the same carriage and heading towards the princess's mansion. The wife of Wu'an Marquis was so happy that she was in a happy mood because the Guo family actually talked about marriage with the second prince's foreign family!
Whether it is her daughter or the daughter of the second brother, there is no need to worry about it anymore. Originally, the second son of the Xiao family was still thinking about climbing the Guo family's high branches, but before she could come out to talk about the trip, the Guo family changed direction and never came to the Wu'an Hou Mansion again!
"Young Master Leng, don't know that I really don't want my daughter to marry these wealthy families. Although I used to think about marrying a mansion that was both a military general, I thought about it. The military generals were either like my husband or General Guo."
"I am a mother, so how could I bear tolerate my daughter marrying a man with a group of concubines? Then General Guo Shen was born with a mighty and had a high background. However, the relatives of the foreign countrymen did not say that the mansion was unclear, and his father and concubines had a lot of rooms, and he himself had a lot of rooms."
"Although I was sent out, I had developed this temperament long ago." Mrs. Wu'an Hou was displeased when she mentioned it: "My girl is following me. How can I tolerate anyone when she sees me and her father?"
Xiao Lingyao had long been used to talking to Mrs. Wu'an Hou and he knew each other's details. Mrs. Wu'an Hou is an elder. Even if she dressed up, she could get along with her freely: "It's just that people wonder, the second prince and the third prince are not in harmony. What is this time?"
Mrs. Wu'an Hou smiled, and Xiao Lingyao stopped pretending and said directly: "Are you worried that the Guo family will not be good for the second prince to climb to the Wu'an Hou's mansion? It would be better to sacrifice the second prince's cousin and bring the Guo family to an embarrassing situation?"
Mrs. Wu'an Hou looked admiring, and Xiao Lingyao said, "The things in the backyard are circling. It is said that it is a cousin, but it may be a third or fifth suffix. Sacrifice of a little girl from the side can stop the Guo family from marrying the Xiao family."
Although Wu'an Hou was suspicious, there were not many soldiers in his hands, but Wu'an Hou still had five thousand guards, all of which were carefully selected by him. He was very loyal to Wu'an Hou, and Wu'an Hou had a great influence in the army.
The Guo family asked Guo Shitong to marry the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, which was a bad person. How could the second prince's foreign family not be anxious?
"I really didn't expect them to use such a trick," Xiao Lingyao said with a smile: "Now the eldest prince is gone, and the Eastern Palace is waiting for a vain position. The second prince and the third prince have been silent for so long, and finally have action."
"They can bite it. Thinking that our Xiao family was also pulled in, there was no door! I have to thank the Yuan family this time." Mrs. Wu'an Hou smiled heartily and said, "This time, your good husband is a good errand, and Your Majesty trusts him more."
Xiao Lingyao smiled, and the wife of Wu'an Hou spoke straightforwardly. The Yuan family was the second prince's foreign family. This thank you was sarcastic. As for the good husband, Xiao Lingyao heard that Wu'an Hou did not make much bids at all. Anyway, someone was eager to please Emperor Yuan to show his loyalty.
"He only has that little abacus, and he has put all his thoughts on me and His Majesty." Xiao Lingyao pretended to be angry: "He has a seven-pointed heart, otherwise how could he coax my mother to stand on his side..."
