At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"I don't know." Ren Hao shook his head.

"Then why are they so obsessed with you? They don't even want the gold leaves I threw." Lin Yi frowned and took the gold leaves picked up by Tiehu.

"Because I made fine salt for them." Ren Hao leaned close to Lin Yi's ear and whispered.

Made them fine salt?

"You are just kidding." Lin Yi's eyes widened.

Although he was not from the Han Dynasty, the laws of the Wei and Han dynasties were basically the same, after all, the two were of the same lineage.

Linyi also knew that selling fine salt to the Hu people or making it was a capital crime of treason, not to mention that Ren Hao was an official in the court, which was an even greater crime.

"What nonsense are you making? I'm doing this to save my life. Is there no other way?" Ren Hao smiled nonchalantly and told Lin Yi that if he lost his life, there was no point in abiding by the Han laws.

"That's right." Lin Yi thought about it and nodded, took a sip of wine, and started to think about it again.

But in the end he gave up the little plan in his mind. The fact that Ren Hao told him the truth showed that Ren Hao was not afraid at all that he would use this matter as a handle.

"Ren Sikong, how did you end up like this?" Lin Yi asked, changing the subject.

"This is a long story." Ren Hao sighed and had already planned how to deceive Lin Yi.

"Why is it such a long story?" Lin Yi asked in confusion.

"The Hu Ji you sold me stole the BMW I kept in the backyard and ran away while we were not paying attention. I took a few retainers with me and chased her all the way to the Western Regions, but we encountered a huge battlefield and I got separated from the retainers in the mansion."

"Finally, I was caught by a group of bandits and then sold to a Hu businessman." Ren Hao sighed at the end, looking as if he was telling the truth.

The reason why Ren Hao deceived Lin Yi from telling the truth was that after all, Lin Yi was a Wei person.

Although merchants and bandits are profit-oriented, they still have to be careful about some things.

"Humph."

"He can't even take care of a woman. He's such a loser." Tiehu muttered arrogantly.

"Shut up! Ren Sikong is not someone you can humiliate." Ren Hao slammed the table and glared at Tiehu.

"Isn't what I said the truth?" Tiehu curled his lips in disapproval. It's true that people of the same family are alike. He is just as useless as Su Ergou.

"Facts are bullshit. All this meat and wine can't shut your mouth." Lin Yi slammed the table again. This time, Tiehu fell completely silent.

He could feel that Lin Yi was really angry.

"Ren Sikong, this guest of mine is just so talkative. I hope you won't take it to heart. Just treat it as his fart." Lin Yi apologized on behalf of Tiehu.

"I'm not angry. What you said is true. I am really a loser. I can't even take care of a woman." Ren Hao waved his hands and laughed at himself.

"Ren Sikong, it's not that you're useless, but that you're too careless. You didn't educate her well, and you let her out to do whatever she wants. If she doesn't run away, who will?"

"But this is also my fault for being too careless. I thought that with Ren Sikong's ability, he could easily capture that Hu Ji, so I forgot to remind you to take good care of her." Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, and suddenly felt that what he said was right and wrong.

"You old man, you are deliberately trying to trick me." Ren Hao suddenly smiled.

"No, no, I really didn't mean it." Lin Yi waved his hands quickly.

"It wasn't intentional, it was deliberate, wasn't it?"

"I knew that every time you come to me, you would sell me some things that are hard to sell." Ren Hao continued with a smile.

This sentence made Lin Yi completely speechless and he didn't know what to say.

I could only say helplessly: "Oh, I...I really don't have it."

"I know you didn't, I was just joking with you." Ren Hao waved his hand.

"Ren Sikong, this is not a good joke. Next time, tell a different joke instead of this one."

"We are not only the best business partners, but also friends regardless of age difference." Lin Yi continued the topic, trying to get closer to Ren Hao.

"That's right, that's right." Ren Hao nodded, and then continued: "But then again, you are still very dishonest. You clearly knew the identity of Hu Ji but you didn't tell me."

"identity?"

"What identity?"

"Isn't she just a beautiful Hu woman who is about to get married?" Lin Yi quickly concealed his confusion.

"Haha, you're still pretending with me? You still won't tell me the truth."

"If that's the case, then there's no need for our business to continue in the future," Ren Hao threatened.

"Humph, do you think my master can't do business without you?"

"I'm just being nice to you, but you don't even know your last name." Tiehu slammed the table and spoke for Lin Yi.

"Shut up, you know who you are talking to."

"If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, I'll sew your mouth shut!!!" Lin Yi glared at Tiehu and quickly played the good guy.

"Ren Sikong, this is how my retainer is, don't take it too seriously."

"Don't worry, I won't bother with him." Ren Hao waved his hand, looking like he didn't care.

"alright."

"Since you have already revealed your identity as Hu Ji, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"In fact, that Hu Ji was the daughter of a noble. I disguised myself as a lost merchant, sneaked into her group, and drugged their water. Not only did we kill all her followers and guards, we also robbed their gold, silver, and jewelry, and captured her." Lin Yi told the truth.

A daughter of nobility?

Ren Hao burst out laughing.

Except for the identities, everything else Lin Yi said matched what Rouyue said.

No wonder Lin Yi was so bold as to come to Minglan Kingdom. It turned out that he really didn't know the true identity of the Hu Ji he captured.

"Ren Sikong, what are you laughing at?" Lin Yi asked in confusion.

"Brother, it would be great if she was really the daughter of a noble from some small country. How did you get this information? Or did she tell you in person?" Ren Hao patted Lin Yi's shoulder, looking worried about him.

"I bought the news from a news dealer. He told me that a noblewoman was going to marry far away in another country and would bring a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry." Lin Yi thought about it and told Ren Hao that the news dealer seemed to be a northern Hu person on the grassland.

Northern Hu people.

Ren Hao suddenly smelled a conspiracy.

"My dear brother, you have probably been cheated." Ren Hao sighed.
