To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

After being beaten with thirty sticks of whip, Zhuo Wenbao's buttocks were rotten.

After all, he was the prime minister's nephew, so how could they just ignore him? After the beating, the housekeeper ordered people to carry him back to the Zhuo family. When Prince Chang learned about this, he came to visit him in person.

Prince Chang looked at his buttocks which were beaten to pieces, and shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, this prince has finally seen what it means to have your buttocks bruised. Didn't I tell you a long time ago? Don't provoke Jiang Jing. Do you believe it now?"

Zhuo Wenbao was wiping his tears. He had just applied the medicine and his voice was hoarse from shouting.

"Brother-in-law, I really can't accept it."

Prince Chang advised, "Don't be unconvinced. I was convinced by the beating. Your uncle, my father-in-law, is right. The most important thing for us now is to trip up the prince and let me become the emperor. When the time comes, I will chop off the heads of all these people and then occupy Jiusu."

Zhuo Wenbao looked up and asked with expectant eyes.

"Then can you become the crown prince tomorrow?"

"This isn't about finding a woman." Prince Chang frowned. Thinking that he would never be able to become the crown prince, he felt particularly irritated. "I have to think of a way to ruin the crown prince's reputation so that my father can favor him..."

In the country of Xige, An Wenzhi has been under house arrest for seven days. After King Rees Andrew personally tried it out, it was proved that the things he brought were very useful. That day, the king personally summoned him.

There were two or three translators following him.

Reese Andrew asked: "Lord An, where did you get this thing? It's amazing. I finally don't have to face one woman after another getting pregnant. You don't know that as of the day you came, eighteen of my concubines were pregnant."

"...Ahem." An Wenzhi said, "It was a girl named Jiusu. She heard that you were having this problem, so she went through a lot of hardships to find a contraceptive method."

The name sounded familiar to Reese Andrew, and with the eunuch's reminder, he remembered it.

"Oh, she is the one who found the poisonous smoke." He nodded, "I have agreed to the compensation. This time, the envoys of Xige will go to Xu State with Lord An to pay homage."

Xu Ji was executed.

This time, the supervising officer confirmed with the executioner several times, "Is he really dead?"

The executioner nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. The head and body are separated. He must be dead. Dead as hell."

The prison officer waved his hand and said, "Find a secluded place to throw it away. It's bad luck."

The entrance hall of the Salt Transport Administration Office.

[Congratulations to the host for passing the "Worship the God of Wealth" and obtaining the monitored lucky cat x1]

Jiusu rested her chin on her hand, slacking off at the desk. She wanted to go play with Ajing, but was afraid of disturbing him while he was investigating a case. She really didn't want to work here anymore. She had nothing to do every day and couldn't play with her phone or computer.

Hey.

I can't figure it out even if I'm slacking off.

"You can't just mess around here, can you?"

Yu Bai came again, holding tea, standing respectfully aside, and said, "Sir, are you a little bored? Do you want me to stay here to entertain you?"

Jiusu had a bad impression of him, so she straightened herself.

He pretended to be serious and said, "Have you investigated the salt tax issue in Xicheng? I have heard reports that some salt merchants are selling inferior salt as good salt, shortchanging the salt by weight, and some people have even found sand in their salt!"

Yu Bai lowered his head and said, "I'll do it right away."

Soon, the deputy director came running with the case file. He said awkwardly: "The major salt merchant in West City is the Zhuo family. It is not easy for us to go in to collect evidence and investigate. After all... after all, he is a relative of the prime minister..."

"It's okay, just go ahead." Jiusu said, "If anything happens, I'll take care of it."

She asked, "How is the saltworks business going?"

The deputy director said: "Well, according to your requirements, we have found a place that meets your requirements. We are negotiating the price. We should have news tomorrow."

Jiusu responded: "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

As soon as I lowered my head, I heard footsteps.

"Purple sandalwood?"

Zitan smiled and walked closer, bowing: "This servant greets Master Jiu."

Jiusu was helpless: "Stop teasing me, I'm almost bored to death, is there something wrong with the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Miss Xiuying invites you to Jinxiu Pavilion to attend the opening ceremony." Zitan handed over the gold-rimmed invitation with both hands. "The time has just come. How about I accompany you there now?"

After Jiusu handed over the matters here to the deputy director, he went to the newly opened Jinxiu Pavilion.

The reputation of Jinxiu Pavilion had already spread, and many people came to congratulate it. They all came for the cute plush pajamas. Xiong Che took half a day off and accompanied Xiuying to the opening ceremony.

He kept a tight guard around him.

But I didn't dare get too close.

Jiusu brought a lucky cat and placed it on the counter. "Shopkeeper Xiu, I wish you a prosperous business and good fortune."

"I'm happy, thanks to the support of our long-time shareholders." Xiuying took her hand and went up to the private room on the second floor to rest. She lay down on a soft chair, hugged the heater, and sighed, "My body is getting heavier day by day. I'll have to ask you to take care of this shop for a long time."

Jiusu took the spare key of the shop.

"Don't worry, I'll come to see you often." She asked Xiuying to stretch out her hand and pressed her fingers on her pulse. Then, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, you and Mr. Xiong should be more restrained and not do it too often."

Xiuying blushed, and you could see it.

She lowered her head and said shyly, "He has been back too late recently. When two people sleep together, it is inevitable that there will be physical contact, so it will be easier. Oh, I will tell him when I get back. By the way, Mr. Jiang is the number one scholar chosen by the emperor and holds an important position. Didn't he say that he would have a wedding night after passing the imperial examination? He didn't mention it?"

Jiusu shook his head: "No."

Xiuying opened the door, waved to Xiong Che, and when he entered the room, she asked, "What has Mr. Jiang been busy with recently?"

"I just took over the Dali Temple, and all the things are piling up, which is a bit tricky. In addition, there have been several thefts recently. The thief came and went without a trace, so it's hard to catch him." Xiong Che stood beside his wife and answered her questions obediently. "Young Master Jiang is not playing around. He has been staying in the Dali Temple."

Xiuying waved her hand and said, "You can go back."

"?" Xiong Che asked, "Just throw it away after use."

At night, Jiusu browsed the system and Kou Shao came back with red eyes.

"What's wrong? Who pissed you off again?"

Kou Shao pouted and said, "I went to the housekeeper to collect my monthly salary and ran into a few unfamiliar maids. They took away everything in our yard. I told them about your identity, but they didn't care. They said that even if you are a legitimate daughter, you still have to respect your elders."

elder?

Jiusu thought for a moment and asked, "Is it from Shouchunyuan?"

Kou Shao shook her head. "Not really."

"It can't be someone around my father and mother, right?" Jiusu piled up the account books on the table, motioned for them to close the door, and took off the coat on her shoulders. Suddenly, she discovered something.

He picked up the candle and shone it on Kou Shao's face.

"Were you beaten?"

Kou Shao picked her fingers in grievance, nodded, and added, fearing that the young lady would be angry, "I didn't let them do that. I pulled their hair and scratched their faces. I only stopped when the housekeeper came."
