Chapter 474

Gu Jiu Ling's words left Gu Nanxiang speechless; Gu Nanxiang originally still wanted to rely on this banquet, leaning on the Cao Clan's influence, to give Gu Jiu Ling a setback.

Let these people also take a look at Gu Nanxiang's abilities.

Gu Nanxiang was once set up by the Lin Clan, later escaped midway, was caught by a human trafficker, who even thought she was a woman fleeing famine from somewhere.

Although Gu Nanxiang's thoughts are malicious, her appearance is not ugly; in Shang Jing she can be considered a top-notch beauty.

After all, with such a handsome father as Gu Shijie, the few children he fathered couldn't be that ugly.

The human trafficker, seeing Gu Nanxiang so beautiful, harbored ill intent, used a hemp rope to plug her mouth, and directly sold her to Jiangnan, intending to make her a Yangzhou concubine.

Right after, Gu Nanxiang was again sold into the Cao mansion in Yangzhou; upon entering, she was merely a low-ranking maid.

But Gu Nanxiang's methods are ruthless; after going through that ordeal with the Lin Clan, she already understood she couldn't easily return to the Gu Clan, otherwise she would surely die.

At first she didn't not want to go back, but after being abducted by the human trafficker, the Gu Clan underwent tremendous changes.

The eldest brother and third younger brother died one after another; only then did Gu Nanxiang realize she had lost protection in the Gu Clan.

Gu Nanxiang realized for the first time that she had to rely on herself for anything; neither her aunt nor her elder brother could be relied upon.

Gu Nanxiang is clever, alluring, and has endless tricks.

Is the Cao Clan's eldest son Cao Maolin's newly wed wife a match for Gu Nanxiang?

In just two or three months, Gu Nanxiang climbed into Cao Maolin's bed, becoming his concubine maid.

Unexpectedly, after just a few more days, she was directly declared a noble concubine by Cao Maolin.

It can be described as rising smoothly to high ranks, step by step higher.

Gu Nanxiang enjoys great favor beside Cao Maolin; just the fact that today Cao Maolin brought Gu Nanxiang to Rui Wangfu as a guest, without bringing his own wedded wife Lady Zheng, shows it.

Lady Zheng is the daughter of a great salt merchant in Jiangnan; her marriage to the Cao Clan is a strong alliance.

As a man, not bringing his principal wife to such a banquet, but instead bringing a concubine?

Looking at this big-headed, big-eared man before her, Gu Jiu Ling felt no liking at all.

Xiao Yin had long seen Gu Jiu Ling's dislike for these two people; he picked up a wine cup from the table and then, with a pa sound, inverted it onto the table.

The move of striking a cow from across the mountain was executed well; the wine cup was fine, but the table dented a small circle. Everyone around looked at Xiao Yin and simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air—no wonder he is the War God Prince; this move is so arrogant and overbearing.

Xiao Ming before, uh, is hiding his talents, everywhere hiding his own strength; nowadays all sides' families have already torn their faces, whether to hide or not makes no difference; previously Xiao Yin hid too deeply, too bitter, feeling stifled; oneself, now Gu Jingmin has almost cured his loneliness; if he doesn't show off more, how can he repay Wang Fei's life-saving grace?

Xiao Ying emptied her tea cup, said nothing, her pair of clear peach blossom eyes slightly lifted; before the sister-in-law, Xiao Zheng and others glanced, instantly the Sixth Prince's face changed, instantly hidden.

He has already given him enough face; that is also because before the meeting he once saved himself; now Xiao Yan treats him like this, that is to tear faces; thus, he won't be too polite toward Xiao Yan, this Imperial Uncle.

"Uncle Huang perhaps is tired from the shock, I'll take my leave now, goodbye."

Cao Maolin and Gu Nanxiang standing aside also had their faces slightly shaken; the promisor also had to pass over a hint of displeasure.

Yes, although he is a salt merchant of low status, he is also one of the top big shots in Jiangnan; even those officials in the court have to give him some face; Xiao Ying, that waste who escaped from Qi Sha Gu and returned, what right does she have to act in front of him?

However, this place is not easy to happen; Cao Maolin brought Gu Nanxiang following behind Xiao Zhan, slowly retreating from the splendid hall of Prince Yue's mansion.

This time this banquet; since it will become a stall for the leisurely talk of the people of Shang Qing after meals.

Everyone looked toward the night snack couple; earlier Xiao Yin and the Sixth Prince had been very close, many thought they might end up together, but now seeing it, it's not so; moreover, Xiao Yi's attitude is unprecedentedly strong; you all, your glances at Xiao Wei also shift slightly.

However, the host has already laid out the results overturned; these people even if they wanted to stay and gossip couldn't; they all apologetically left Xiao Yi and his spouse.

Gu Jiu Lin followed Xiao Ying to Xiao Ying's, Mount Dongyue's calligraphy.

The effect let Guo Jiu Lin sit down, saying he personally boiled a pot of white tea for Gu Jiu Lin.

Gu Jiu Lin simply didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point: "Prince, how do you view quarrels quietly?"

Xiao Ying also sat beside Gu Jiu Li, lifted her tea cup and lightly took a sip: "They want my life."

"That round one in the palace is also not giving up."

Gu Qiu Ling's eyes flashed slightly, she hurriedly asked: "Prince, you won't be about to act, will you?"

Xiao Ying and Gu Jiu Ling have revealed his idea of wanting to become emperor. Perhaps after winning such a realm, even if he gives the realm to others, it still depends on whether he is willing.

At this moment, once Xiao Ying makes this decision, each step she takes, her body is layered with threats.

Even Gu Qiu Lin, who is intimately close with him, seeing Xiao Ying's aura and expression, felt his heart tremble slightly.

"Recently the Duan Clan collapsed; in the countryside, they are desperately trying to nationwide investigate financial flows and land holdings."

"Your your maternal grandfather also is of imperial origin, also knows that the sources of wealth in this world are nothing more than these few; the first is the iron shovel, almost all of the state's tax revenue comes from the labor of capital payment."

"The second condition is the television industry, rivers and seas arguing, this kind of spirit third is the word-word merchant Yangzhou's salt merchants almost rich enough to rival a country."

"Now the Duan Clan something. The eight great clans are leaderless, exactly the chaotic time; eight families each control the economic lifeline of South Seven, which can be said to be grasping the emperor's dragon vein; these years the countryside indeed isn't very wealthy, appearing as the emperor, but the wealthy aren't necessarily him."

Gu Jiu Ling, her heart stirred, lifted her gaze and stared fixedly at Xiao Yin: "I understand the Prince's meaning; Emperor Longqing has now dealt with the Duan Clan, in one fell swoop the state controls the national treasury surges, and moreover the lands of the Duan Clan in Yongzhou and elsewhere have now become Emperor Longqing's imperial estates; of course, to pacify the people, he also allocated a small portion to those locally lacking ability, Chongqing drip, this is likely having reaped benefits unable to contain, now he will act against nationwide shipping and extension; if this batch of people are uncovered in the investigation, then the countryside could truly become rich."

A smile lightly laughed: "Getting rich, girl you've thought too much; in this world, whoever gets a benefit, you make him spit it out to try."

"Moreover the emperor wasn't only after the Duan Clan's collapse that he thought of the Imperial Envoy; before that he already wanted to set the rules for all of Jiangnan, but. You know the Qing dynasty sent out ten Imperial Envoys, sons and sons songs Jiangnan. Good salt merchant's problem. Five or six died on the way there, three were hanged in Yangzhou city's guildhalls, only one porcelain vitality remains, now it has been divided."

Gu Jiu Lin frozen to death, struggling for a lifetime, the atmosphere deep into the night unchanged; this is not the Yangzhou salt merchants, this is a cult.

Xiao Yin lightly laughed and said: "However, this time do you know which Imperial Envoy the emperor sent to investigate the Jiangnan salt merchants?"
