Yao Chuguang could naturally see that Song Guguang was moved. In the face of such huge interests, how many people could remain unmoved?

No matter how rational and restrained Song Guguan appears to be in normal times, it cannot change the fact that he is a gambler at heart.

Being a political broker means doing dirty work with high risks and high returns.

How could such a person not do something just because the risk is high? As long as the benefits are high enough, he will take a few sips even if it is poison and bet that he can survive it.

Now Song Guguan is about to walk into the trap that Yao Chuguang has carefully set for him, and all Yao Chuguang needs is one more gentle push.

Yao Chuguang whispered like a devil, "Sir Song, do you want to cooperate with me?"

The prey raised its head and looked around, alert to everything around it. Its reason told it that there was no way a pie would fall from the sky, and this might be a trap.

Song Guguang: "What cooperation?"

Hunters disguised as the same kind began to encourage people to eat the food right in front of them. They said that the food was right in front of them and that they could get endless food as long as they took a step forward.

Yao Chuguang: "Of course, we have to take advantage of His Majesty's plan to sweep up Yintian and make a fortune in advance!"

The companions began to create a sense of urgency, telling the prey that if you don’t go, then I will go.

The prey showed greed on his face, but his reason and natural sense of danger made him stop where he was and not move forward.

Song Guguang: "Oh! I wonder how Miss Shen wants to cooperate?"

Greed gradually took over, the temptation was enough, but the greatest unknown danger made the prey stop again.

Yao Chuguang: "Of course, we'll use this information to find the largest local landowner and negotiate a deal with them."

Yao Chuguang told his plan. Although His Majesty has the tax accounts, His Majesty can only infer how many acres of land you have based on the taxes you have paid in the past.

But the imperial court certainly didn't know where these acres of land were. No one except the landlords and gentry knew how many acres of land they had.

This is the space they have to operate in.

They only need to reveal the news to the landowners in advance, and then reach a private agreement with the landowners to let the landowners sell to them at extremely low prices.

After this storm has passed, they will sell the land back to the landlords at a slightly higher price and make a profit from the difference.

Even if the imperial court comes to investigate, you have just bought and sold the land, so naturally you have not paid any taxes, so it is normal that it is not in the account!

As long as it is done properly, everything is reasonable and legal.

Song Guguang: "Those officials who came to investigate the hidden farmland are not fools. Suddenly a wealthy businessman appeared and bought up a lot of good farmland. The source of the silver is a big problem. Where did so much silver come from?"

The prey began to be bewitched and took small steps forward, but it was not enough.

Yao Chuguang: "It's definitely not possible to just sell it right away. These wealthy businessmen have been deeply rooted in the local area for many years and their influence is complex and intertwined."

We must have a lot of IOUs from the farmers on hand, so we can just say there was a natural disaster in any year.

At that time, the wealthy businessmen in these places borrowed a lot of food from me to survive that disaster. You can imagine that even the local wealthy businessmen could not survive, let alone the local civilians.

We are doing good deeds, although it may seem like we are taking advantage of the situation. But if it weren't for our kindness, these people would have starved to death long ago.

However, due to years of war, the people are simply unable to pay back the money and grain they owe us.

In the end, he had no choice but to mortgage the land to us. You see, the IOU is real, the land is real, and on the surface, everything seems perfect.

Yao Chuguang: "Even if there are any small problems, Fu Hongxuan will not have the power to suppress them."

The companion pointed to the neatly arranged spikes in front of the food and told the prey that these spikes only looked dangerous and that he just had to be careful and jump over them gently.

Everything is within reach. There is no such thing as high-return and risk-free in this world. Visible dangers always make people feel more at ease.

Song Guguang: "Fu Hongxuan is not a military commander. Does he know that it is the civil officials who are responsible for the investigation of the hidden fields this time?"

Yao Chuguang shook his head and said, "He doesn't know, but the soldiers escorting these officials are his men..."

If there is an extremely stubborn official that Song Guanggu cannot deal with, then Fu Hongxuan's people can just take action and create some unexpected situations to solve the problem.

Song Guguang asked the last question: "How much do you want?"

Yao Chuguang slowly stretched out three fingers and said, "Split it 30-70. You take 30 and I take 70!"

It was the familiar greed again. This woman really didn't hide her greed at all.

Song Guguan thought that if it was just a small fight, then based on the current profit sharing ratio, it would not be enough to cover his travel expenses.

Song Guguang had to give himself some bargaining chips and asked, "How can I quickly convince these wealthy businessmen that Commander Fu is the one who backs me?"

Yao Chuguang pointed at the recommendation card in Song Guguang's hand and said, "This is the admission ticket, 10,000 taels each!"

Song Guguang understood instantly. It seemed that this piece of paper was indeed worth so much silver.

Song Guguang pulled out a ten thousand tael silver note from his sleeve and said, "This is Song's ticket. When will Your Majesty start?"

Yao Chuguang took the banknote and said, "Two months from now, your time is running out!"

Indeed, the war on the border is almost over.

Two months later, the army will return to the capital, and the empress will fulfill her promise!

Song Guguang left with the letter of recommendation, and the prey walked towards the trap with satisfaction.

Fu Hongxuan, who had been hiding in the shadows, came out with a complicated expression and said, "Sometimes, I feel that being your enemy is the most terrifying thing in the world."

Yao Chuguang smiled without saying anything. She walked forward and gently stroked Fu Hongxuan's neck and said, "Are you scared?"

Fu Hongxuan bent down and picked up Yao Chuguang, and said in a low voice beside her ear: "As long as you want it, I can give you my life."

The next moment, Fu Hongxuan saw Yan Mingzhe standing at the end of the corner with a sullen face, holding a familiar letter in his hand, and looking at Fu Hongxuan and Yao Chuguang with dark eyes.

Yao Chuguang felt that Fu Hongxuan suddenly stiffened.

When I turned around and saw Yan Mingzhe and the thing in his hand, I instantly understood something.

It seems that Song Guguan set a trap for them before leaving.

This was a test from Song Guguang. He was not sure whether Yao Chuguang really wanted to cooperate with him.

Or was it all just a cover, and it was this woman, Shen San, who coordinated with him from beginning to end?

Fu Hongxuan has always been behind the scenes and never shows up.

Song Guguan only needed to think about it for a moment to know what this sinister man Fu Hongxuan was planning.

Shen San was his open target from the beginning to the end. He wanted to make money but didn't want to dirty his hands.

If he lets people know that he is infatuated with a greedy widow, those who want to make friends with him or bribe him will come to Shen San.

By then, he can use Shen San's hand to make a lot of money, and then the truth will be revealed.

At best, Shen San is a plaything, not even a mistress.

No one thought that Fu Hongxuan would really marry Shen San, and Shen San was just a woman with whom he had a fleeting affair.

For a man of his status, there are plenty of women like this.

Fu Hongxuan could then take advantage of the situation and throw all the dirty water on that woman, and he would still be the high and mighty and clean Commander Fu.

Shen San was in charge of all the matters, and Fu Hongxuan never showed up from beginning to end.

How could a veteran like Song Guguan allow Fu Hongxuan to clear himself of all charges?

So he wanted to give himself an extra insurance. Yan Mingzhe was Fu Hongxuan's master.

But Yan Mingzhe is a righteous man and will never tolerate any flaws in his eyes.

Although Song Guguan did not reveal the matter of Yintian, he told Yan Mingzhe about the bribery of the county magistrate.

Given Yan Mingzhe's personality, he would definitely not agree with Fu Hongxuan doing this, but he did so for the sake of their master-disciple relationship.

This little thing wouldn't really be exposed, but it would cause disappointment in Fu Hongxuan and even sever the master-disciple relationship.

Yan Mingzhe is Song Guguan's last life-saving trump card. Apart from Shen San, only Yan Mingzhe knows that he has reached a deal with Fu Hongxuan in secret.

If the Yintian incident could be resolved without any danger, then they would continue to live in peace.

But if something goes wrong, Song Guguan can take this opportunity to threaten Fu Hongxuan to protect himself.

Otherwise, he would report the matter to his master Yan Mingzhe. With just a little calculation of the time nodes, Yan Mingzhe could easily realize that the two of them had already secretly colluded with each other.

Song Guguang was not completely sure whether Yan Mingzhe would kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.

However, he was very clear about one thing, that is, Fu Hongxuan would never just sit there and wait to die.

What means will Fu Hongxuan use at that time, such as killing people to silence them or taking other actions to try to cover up the truth?

Song Guguan has a way to prevent Fu Hongxuan from staying out of the matter and getting away with it.

Is there any good thing in this world that allows you to enjoy the benefits without taking any risks?

Yan Mingzhe pointed at the letter of recommendation on the table, looked at Yao Chuguang and asked, "Who are you?"

From the first moment Yan Mingzhe saw Yao Chuguang, he felt that this woman was not ordinary.

He looks carefree and defenseless.

But in fact, the sense of vigilance is extremely strong.

Most of what this woman says sounds like fantasy at first glance.

But if you really calm down and think carefully, you will find that many of the remarks others find absurd.

It's just that they don't stand high enough, so they think it's a pipe dream.

Yan Mingzhe is not a fool. All signs indicate that Shen San is definitely not an ordinary person.

Even if ordinary people want to worry about world affairs, they must have channels to do so.

A woman who cares about the world and can lend a helping hand to a pregnant woman she doesn't even know.

Someone who doesn't care about his or her image and never complains about his or her past sufferings.

If Shen San had said before that he wanted to cheat Mr. Song out of his money and then took the money but did nothing.

He believed that this girl was capable of doing such a wicked thing, but Yan Mingzhe didn't believe that she would be blinded by money.

This girl seems heartless and acts a little radically, but she is not a bad person.

These days Yan Mingzhe has been wondering who Yao Chuguang is?

In fact, Yao Chuguang had never been hiding anything, so Yan Mingzhe naturally noticed it.

But because of the relationship between Yao Chuguang and Fu Hongxuan, Yan Mingzhe felt that this was too unbelievable.

Now he can basically confirm Shen San's true identity.

Yan Mingzhe took a deep breath, looked at Yao Chuguang and said word by word: "You are not Shen San, and Yingge is not your mother. You are the first female official of Da Qi, An Tian!"

Every word was spoken with extraordinary clarity and power, as if to penetrate Yao Chuguang's soul.

Yao Chuguang was full of doubts about who had exposed her identity.

Are you so sure that she is An Tian?

When Yan Mingzhe saw Yao Chuguang’s stunned look, he knew that he had guessed right!

The female official in the rumor is both good and evil and her methods are ruthless.

She showed no mercy to anyone who offended her, but on the other hand, the business she controlled stabilized the price of grain.

When faced with famine or floods, the first thing they did was to open their granaries and distribute grain for disaster relief.

Moreover, the interest rate that the merchant paid to the people for lending grain was very low, almost better than nothing.

He runs such a large business, but he always cares about the people.

Although this woman had harmed many wealthy businessmen in order to get to the top, she was able to quickly accumulate capital to open a trading company.

This unethical method and ruthless style of doing things, but it still leaves a last bit of bottom line, which is to help the weak.

The more Yan Mingzhe thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct, and An Tian was indeed a widow.

Although she killed her husband herself and became a widow.

Isn’t this all right!

In fact, Shen San was wearing simple clothes, running around in the fields, and humbly asking the old farmers for advice.

There was also a time when he jumped out of the carriage without hesitation to clear the way for a pregnant woman he didn't know.

Yan Mingzhe was wondering if this person was the one, but this girl was really too wicked.

How could the empress do such a thing, and even get caught having an affair with his disciple by him?

How could that person do such a ridiculous thing!

Sometimes, we can only say that the filter is too thick and Yan Mingzhe missed the truth.

Now Yan Mingzhe is certain that Yao Chuguang is An Tian.

An Tian can now be said to be the richest person in the world, except for the empress.

How could he give up such a bright future for a mere ten thousand taels of silver?

Yao Chuguang smacked his lips and decided to just let it go!

Maybe if she tries hard enough, Yan Mingzhe will be able to guess her identity!

When it comes to identity, revealing it yourself and being recognized by others are two different things.

It’s so embarrassing to say it directly!

Others analyze it over and over again, and finally realize that you, who are so awesome, must be "so-and-so"!

No matter what, she is now the empress, which is a very impressive identity.

Despite her impressive status, she also has her image baggage.

It can't always be like this,

Oh! You are not an ordinary person, you are An Tian.

Then she went up and said, you guessed wrong, I am the empress!

Then someone burst out with a sharp cry, "What! You are the Empress!"

Now that Yan Mingzhe has gotten involved, Yao Chuguang can only tell Yan Mingzhe about Yintian.

After hearing the whole story, Yan Mingzhe was a little puzzled since the empress had already arranged to investigate and punish Yintian.

Why go to such extra trouble and let Song Guanggu interfere? Wouldn't that cause more trouble?

Yao Chuguang took a sip of tea and said, "Too slow!"

The imperial court was indeed settling taxes, but you had to know that it relied on dozens of ministers who had to check the account books one by one.

If those landlords make some small moves or cause some trouble, the local authorities will not cooperate.

I don’t know when I’ll find out.
