Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 964

How can I give this away?

Where did the longevity cream that Jin Chi destroyed come from?

Tanlu finally realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't show it too obviously because the officials in the north wing were watching them too closely, and they had no chance to come and go freely along the way.

Thinking about the big plan, Tanlu and others endured all the way. They only waited until they arrived in the capital to discuss it.

That night, Tanlu stayed in Anyi Pavilion and finally met someone.

That man was Wu Rong's subordinate, named Wu Jin, also known as Gu Hai Jin. Because he and Wu Rong looked very similar to Bei Yi people, it was not easy to be found out, and he had lived in Bei Yi for five or six years.

Wu Jin is quite capable, as he was able to sneak into the post station under the strict control of the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as he saw Tanlu, he fell to his knees and cried bitterly, "Sir, I have failed to live up to your trust and deserve death."

Tan Lu's face was gloomy. "Tell me in detail, what happened? Where did the longevity cream that Jin Chi destroyed come from?"

Speaking of this, it's like digging out Wu Jin's heart.

He answered the question irrelevantly and had to talk about the hardships of doing things in the North Wing over the years. "Over the years, I and others have been scattered in various places. As you know, sir, the longevity paste is not so easy to make. It requires the wood-colored flower to make it. Later, we finally found a few places suitable for growing wood-colored flowers, and made a lot of longevity paste. We gradually provided it to some small officials and merchants for free, but it didn't take off."

Tanlu didn't know much about the longevity cream, but he didn't mind listening to Wu Jin's explanation.

Wu Jin continued, "The Li family has a lot of income from their own business, and they are worried about being controlled by us, so they have been unable to reach an agreement. There is only one person named Li Changfeng..."

Li Changfeng saw that the Fu Shou Cream could be used to control people, so he brought in Liu Zhaoye, a veteran official in the court.

This person is also a relative of the Li family. His granddaughter Liu is the wife of Li Changfeng's eldest son Li Tianlin.

After Liu Zhaoye became addicted, he became a senior veteran; Li Changfeng then lured other veteran officials in one by one.

In the past, some old officials were stubborn and often had different opinions from Li Changfeng. After using Fushou Paste, they became very obedient and would fight wherever he was told.

Although this has formed a circle, it is far from enough.

Seeing the Li family in trouble one after another and the Empress Dowager being confined to the Western Hills, Wu Rong knew that the opportunity for in-depth cooperation had come. So in the past few months, he transported all the Fu Shou creams scattered throughout the North Wing to the capital.

At that time, Fu Shou Gao was just an ordinary commodity and was not subject to any restrictions or supervision, so it was very convenient to bring it into Beijing.

Wu Rong also rented several warehouses to store the longevity paste, preparing for a big move.

In fact, good news did come a few days ago, and someone finally came to me.

Li Tianlin came to pick up the goods with the token of Empress Dowager Jiqing. The token was the wooden hairpin that Wu Rong gave to Empress Dowager Jiqing in the early years. Once the token was out, it was no longer an ordinary transaction, which showed that the Empress Dowager had made up her mind and thought it through.

Therefore, Wu Rong was very generous and allowed Li Tianlin to bring a large amount of goods into the Li Mansion without paying any money.

They were just waiting for this batch of goods to fall into the mouths of officials in the Northern Wing court. After just a few times, these officials would be unable to live without the longevity cream and would naturally spend silver to buy the goods.

It won't be long before the silver of Beiyi will flow into Wan. And Beiyi's government and people are all sick men, and the country will no longer be a country.

By then, there would be no effort at all and the North Wing would be their meal.

It’s just a beautiful dream.

"What happened next?" Tanlu's eyelids twitched as he heard this, thinking of the things that Jin Chi had destroyed. It was said that they had not been completely destroyed yet and the process was still going on day and night.
