Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Master Ouyang was the Salt and Iron Transport Commissioner, which was a third-rank official and a full-time position in the Daze State. In addition to the official salt and iron monopoly, his specific duties also included supervising the minting of coins and the dispatch of grain transport.

The Salt and Iron Monopoly was keeping a close eye on things and they didn't dare to make any big moves, so Master Ouyang worked hard on the grain transport.

These canal transport workers were all serving civilians. The work was hard, but it could be compensated with silver. Over the past ten years, Master Ouyang had squeezed countless hard-earned money from tens of thousands of serving laborers. But even if these people paid, Master Ouyang would not let them go. Instead, he drove them to more closed sections of the road, concentrated them to work, and used up their last bit of surplus value until they were exhausted to death.

In this way, his deeds would not be exposed, but his hands were stained with blood, and he could be said to be full of evil.

In addition, during the process of minting coins and silver, some people would recycle the coins and silver on the grounds that they were of poor quality and pocket the money.

Most of this dirty silver was used to honor the eldest prince Chu Yaozhao.

The royal family focused on investigating and preventing salt and iron monopolies, and since there was no problem in this aspect, they did not keep a close eye on Master Ouyang. They never expected that Master Ouyang would act so cruelly in other areas of his responsibility.

Qiao Jianer printed a copy of these private accounts, letters and books in the space and took them out of the Ouyang family.

She couldn't help but sigh, how many of these noble families in the capital were clean?

But as long as you don't provoke her, she won't take the initiative to reveal other people's privacy. Since it has come to the Qiao family's head, don't blame her for revealing those dirty and filthy things.

After dinner, Qiao Zhizhi came to her and told her about all the signs that something was wrong with the Ouyang family.

Qiao Jianer said, "It's just that the Ouyang family has leverage over the eldest prince, and they're being blackmailed by him."

"That's why Ouyang Yi wants to get close to you. If our Qiao family and the Ouyang family marry, the Ouyang family will have plenty of opportunities to take action in the future."

She took out those things from the space and placed a large stack on the table.

When Qiao Zhizhi saw it, she was shocked.

"So many lives lost, so much corruption, and yet Master Ouyang, who seemed so upright and honest, was so heartless and insane."

"This is common in the capital. Few people who have managed to rise to prominence and maintain their foothold are simple. They are all connected by various interests."

Qiao Zhizhi felt suffocated and put the film down after reading less than half of it.

"Jian'er, are you going to see the emperor with these things?"

Qiao Jianer looked at Qiao Zhizhi: "Sister Zhizhi, do you think it's appropriate?"

Qiao Zhizhi thought about it and shook her head: "No, we can't do this."

"Jian'er must have obtained this evidence from a very secret place. Submitting it directly to the Emperor would be tantamount to admitting his ability to the Emperor. How could the Emperor sleep peacefully at night? Wouldn't he be afraid that everything he did would be discovered one by one when he was not looking?"

Almost all high-ranking nobles are not clean, let alone the emperor who maintains his rule?

"Yes, if we want to pressure the Ouyang family, we can't report these things directly. This is just providing a direction." Qiao Jianer said.

"Pei Er has gone out to investigate matters concerning grain transport and coinage. After the eldest prince arrived in the Kingdom of Qiluo, the Ouyang family has not restrained themselves at all, and new secret books are still being deposited."

Therefore, the Ouyang family was not forced to do so, but was willing to do so.

Qiao Zhizhi sneered, "The Ouyang family thinks it's easy. Even if our Qiao family doesn't marry into the Lin family, we won't have any relationship with the Ouyang family. Why do they think that if it's not the Lin family, it must be the Ouyang family? They are so confident."

"So I suspect Ouyang Yi is desperate, and we don't know what he'll do. Sister Zhizhi, please be careful."

"Well, I will do my best and not cause any more trouble to the Qiao family," said Qiao Zhizhi.

The next day after school, Ouyang Yi came to ask questions again.

"Miss Zhizhi, I'm sorry to trouble you again, but it won't take you too long."

After school, students often have questions to ask, but now it is Ouyang Yi who asks them.

As a student, even if Qiao Zhizhi dislikes him, it would be inappropriate for her to kick him out now.

She said, "I have a lot of things to do at home, so I will only talk for a quarter of an hour. I will continue the rest tomorrow."

A quarter of an hour was far from enough for Ouyang Yi. When he turned around, he saw Lin Songyan still sitting there, painting.

"Brother Lin, why don't you go back? Do you have questions to ask?"

Lin Songyan smiled faintly: "As Zhizhi's fiancé, I will stay with her for a while. I will also send her back later."

Ouyang Yi realized that Lin Songyan would have to watch over him every day in the future.

He felt irritated, but couldn't raise any objections, so he said, "The wedding date hasn't been set yet, so he can't be considered fiancé yet. Brother Lin, please be cautious. If the relationship between the two families doesn't work out, I'm afraid it will have an impact on Miss Zhizhi in the future."

"How could it not happen? We both agree, and both families agree. Could there be some villain trying to get in the way?"

Lin Songyan spoke casually, but there was a cold light in his eyes, quietly flickering in the depths.

Ouyang Yi choked. How could he not know that Lin Songyan was making innuendos?

The Ouyang family's actions over the past few days have probably aroused the vigilance of the Lin family and the Qiao family.

But even if they tried to investigate, they couldn't find anything.

He laughed dryly twice and waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it. I'll leave after asking the questions, so that Brother Lin won't think that I have any intentions towards Miss Zhizhi."

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Ouyang Yi said goodbye.

Lin Songyan walked him for a short distance.

"Brother Ouyang, we have known each other since childhood. I sincerely regard you as a friend. I hope we can be honest with each other."

There was a hint of sincerity in these words, which made Ouyang Yi stunned for a moment.

Humans are not plants, trees, or stones, so how can they be completely cold-hearted and cold-blooded?

But ever since he boarded the eldest prince's pirate ship, he can no longer get off. Now, in order to protect the family's reputation, he has no choice but to follow the eldest prince's wishes.

"Brother Lin, do you have to be Miss Zhizhi in this life? I'm afraid it's not true that you have a deficiency."

"If everyone thinks it is true, then it is true. True or false depends on what you want." Lin Songyan said ambiguously.

Ouyang Yi pondered these words and shook his head. Even if Lin Songyan was lying, almost all the high-ranking families in the capital had already confirmed it, including the Sun family. It would be useless for him to go to Sun Hetang again.

If they want to turn the tables, the Ouyang family has to work hard.

"There are so many noble ladies in the capital, why bother hanging yourself on a tree? If you give up this idea, we will be good friends for life. If you are in trouble, I am also willing to stick by you." He simply said it more clearly.

"Impossible." Lin Songyan threw out three words.

Ouyang Yi's expression turned cold: "Then we'll see."

If this trick doesn't work, he has another trick up his sleeve.
