PFC Chapter 466 Li is in trouble
Chapter 466 Li is in trouble
After seeing Song Ruize off, Qin Huiyin checked the recent accounts at the Food City and looked up the recent business situation of the Food Street.
There are hundreds of shops in the entire food street, big and small, all under her management.
Those people only rented her shop, but the ownership of the shop was still hers. Therefore, if there was any friction between the shops, she had to come forward as the referee.
Bang! Someone pushed the door open hard.
Qin Huiyin looked up and saw Xia Ruwan with a pale face.
"What happened?" Qin Huiyin stood up.
She had never seen Xia Ruwan so distraught.
"Something happened to Li Congxiao." Xia Ruwan strode over, took her hand and said anxiously, "It should be said that something happened to Prince Ning, and he has been implicated as well. What should we do?"
"Don't be so anxious. Talk slowly. At least let me understand what's going on." Qin Huiyin said to Shu Hui beside her, "Quickly pour your lady a glass of water."
Shuhui had obviously cried as well. Although she was usually calm, she was also in a state of panic. Only after Qin Huiyin reminded her did she react and poured Xia Ruwan a glass of water to calm her down.
"Ever since Prince Ning took Li Jingyan as his concubine, he's been treating the Li family like his own money bag, letting them handle many things. Li Congxiao is the new generation heir to the Li family, so all matters must pass through his hands. Now that Prince Ning's actions have been discovered by the higher-ups, the people in Prince Ning's mansion have been imprisoned. It is said that once the facts are verified, their property will be confiscated."
"What did Prince Ning do?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"I don't know either. He never told me what he did for Prince Ning." Xia Ruwan was anxious and angry. "Since it's a crime of confiscation of property, it must be very serious. What should we do?"
Qin Huiyin patted her chest and advised, "Don't worry, let's find out how he is doing first. If we want to find out clearly, my brother's people have better connections. I will send someone to pass on a message immediately and ask them to find out the situation and report to us."
Qin Huiyin looked at Zhilan.
Zhilan understood and did it immediately.
Xia Ruwan has always been calm and composed, but when faced with such a big thing, she is not invincible, and of course she will lose her calm thinking.
Zhilan returned quickly, bringing news: "Last year, the Ning County Prince's Mansion abused their power to seize a gold mine, massacred villagers from three nearby villages, and even fabricated an epidemic. The survivors of that incident, after enduring numerous hardships, finally filed a complaint with the Emperor, leading to the current imprisonment of the entire Ning County Prince's Mansion."
"Last year?" Xia Ruwan asked, "He hadn't followed Prince Ning yet at that time. Why did they arrest him?"
"It's true that he followed Prince Ning. The entire Li family used the Ning Prince's Mansion's influence to do many things. Now that the Ning Prince's Mansion has fallen, he will certainly be implicated. Now I don't know how the higher-ups will assess his guilt. The Li family hadn't yet attached themselves to Prince Ning and had no involvement in those affairs, so logically speaking, the sentence shouldn't be too severe."
"Yinyin, can you get him out? I don't need the Li family's money, I can also pay. I'll use half of the Xia family's property to redeem him. As long as he comes out safely, it will be fine." Xia Ruwan cried anxiously. "Yinyin, he can't be in trouble, otherwise what should I do?"
"Okay, okay, I'll think of a way. I'll go and see if there's any solution. Don't worry, just go back and wait for my news."
"But now I..."
"You keep pestering me, how can I find a solution?" Qin Huiyin said seriously.
Shuhui pulled Xia Ruwan away.
Now it's Qin Huiyin's turn to have a headache.
This case involves a huge number of people, and she is not an official in the court. Where can she find a solution? The only person she can discuss this with is Tang Yichen.
"Let's go to the Ministry of Industry."
Tang Yichen was an official from the Ministry of Works, so he might not have a solution. However, he knew a lot, and the interpersonal relationships in the officialdom were complex, so perhaps he could help with some advice.
Qin Huiyin was waiting for Tang Yichen outside the Ministry of Works.
Tang Yichen didn't come out, but Chen Yu came to pick her up. Chen Yu took her in directly.
Qin Huiyin looked at the layout inside the Ministry of Industry with curiosity.
"Master Tang, this is a problem with your blueprint, not our craftsmanship. We made it according to the blueprint, but the result didn't achieve the effect you requested. Can you blame us?"
"That's right. Lord Tang is a scholar, and I'm afraid he has never seen this kind of craftsmanship. You don't understand the craftsmanship, but you insist on coming to the Ministry of Works to give us orders, which will only cause us trouble."
"Master Ying, do you not want to change?"
"No, it can't be changed at all."
Henry Zhang said in Tang Yichen’s ear: “The second lady is coming in.”
Tang Yichen turned around and when he saw Qin Huiyin, he said to Mr. Ying beside him, "Okay, whatever you want."
After saying that, he turned and left, striding towards Qin Huiyin.
The ministers who had been arguing with Tang Yichen followed his gaze and when they saw the stunningly beautiful Qin Huiyin, they all revealed a wolfish look.
This is the Ministry of Industry, a land dominated by men of science and engineering. Many of the ministers here are still young and unmarried. Suddenly seeing such a beautiful woman, how could one not be envious?
"Who is that?"
"I just heard from Zhang Zhen that the second young lady is here."
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Tang Yichen.
Does Tang Yichen have such a beautiful sister?
Tang Yichen came over with a smile: "Why are you in the Ministry of Industry? Is there something urgent?"
If it wasn't urgent, she wouldn't come to him directly.
"I have something urgent to do, and I don't know what to do. I thought you could help me with some advice, so I came to you. Am I disturbing you?"
"Let's go to the study and talk."
As the Minister of Works, Tang Yichen stayed in the same study with two other Ministers of Works.
At this time, the two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works were not there, and he was the only one in the study.
Qin Huiyin looked at the messy yet orderly documents, and vaguely saw the densely packed drawings, and suddenly began to doubt whether her previous decision was correct.
"Brother, I wanted to get promoted quickly before so I could get rid of the marriage arranged by Prince Zhong's Mansion. Now that the marriage hasn't been settled, I've asked you to come to the Ministry of Works, which you're not very good at. Didn't we make a bad move?"
"As you said, every Prime Minister had to serve in one of the six ministries. I entered earlier than others, which is not a bad thing. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Works is probably the most difficult to control. If I control the Ministry of Works, why should I worry about the other ministries?"
"you're right."
"What's the important thing you're talking about?"
Qin Huiyin told Tang Yichen about the situation of Prince Ning's Mansion and Li Congxiao.
If Song Ruize were here, he would be very experienced in this kind of thing. She went to Tang Yichen to hear what he had to say.
Tang Yichen listened to the whole process and said, "Since it happened before, the Li family hadn't helped the evil at that time. As long as we make arrangements well, it should be easy to get rid of it. However, there is another possibility..."
"What?" Qin Huiyin said.
"Every time a family is raided, the national treasury is enriched. The Li family has enough money to fill at least two national treasuries." Tang Yichen said calmly, "The higher-ups may not be willing to let the Li family withdraw."
