The outskirts of Chang'an.

In an inconspicuous house.

More than ten distinguished people arrived in the front hall one after another.

They were dressed gorgeously and had extraordinary bearing. They were sitting on their knees behind the desk. At first glance, they looked like either rich or noble people.

Sandalwood lingers on the table.

A middle-aged man in his forties brushed down his sleeves and spoke slowly:

"Have you all got the news?"

"How could you not know about such a big thing..." Not far away, an old man with a goatee said with a cold face: "Fang Yiai led people to ransack the salt merchant's shop and arrested everyone. , let’s all discuss what to do.”

"What a nonsense!"

You said angrily and hot-temperedly: "People are sitting on our heads and shitting on us, of course we have to get the situation back!"

The old man glanced at him: "But the account book was taken away, and Fang Erlang took a group of brothel girls and found out the clues overnight."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

A man who looked like a scribe stroked his beard and said, "It is said that a new accounting method was used."

"Yes, I heard about it too."

Someone sighed: "That method is so miraculous. It can extract loopholes from bad debts. I find it incredible when I think about it."

"Alas~ It's Fang Yiai again!"

"This boy is not only good at poetry and painting, but he is also proficient in arithmetic."

"This boy is so fierce!"

"It's a pity that such a gifted talent cannot be used by us."

…

"Enough!"

The man with a hot temper interrupted everyone sharply and glanced around fiercely:

"Don't forget that Fang Yiai is the consort of the dynasty and the emperor's son-in-law. He will never be able to stand with us!"

"Everyone should think about how to smooth out the ledger!"

"The account book matter is not urgent." The dignified middle-aged man said: "It's all normal business transactions. Even if the government wants to investigate, they can't find us."

The old man with the goatee said coldly: "But everyone knows that the people behind the Chang'an Salt Merchant are us!"

"Is there any evidence?"

The middle-aged man said calmly: "Who can prove this? Even if those merchants recruited him, it would be a false accusation."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone nodded.

"Yes, who can prove that we have a relationship with the salt merchant?"

"But if this happens, we will need to support another group."

"Huh! He's just a lowly businessman. If you give it up, you'll give it up. There are many people rushing to defect to us."

…

Listening to the comments of others, the middle-aged man spoke again:

"Even if the government forcibly involves us, it can only end here and has nothing to do with the master's family."

He slowly glanced around and said in a cold tone:

"Taking the blame for the main family and keeping the flames of war away from the core... This is the fate of our side branches."

The old man next to him nodded:

"In that case, let's get started... The emperor is strong and has suppressed us for more than ten years. It's time for the world to see our power."

Everyone was trembling.

His eyes burst out with intense desire.

The world has been at peace for a long time, and the aristocratic family has been dormant for more than ten years... Large areas of land cannot be annexed, huge amounts of money cannot be earned, and they are suppressed from time to time...

Who can bear such a frustrating life?

Over the past millennium, when has a noble family received such treatment?

This feeling is like a naked beauty lying in front of you, but someone is using a knife to force you to not pounce...

It's simply terrible!

"I agree...."

The middle-aged man said calmly: "Previously, Chang Sun Chong sent people to assassinate Fang Yiai. The prime minister was furious and the court was in chaos, but the emperor suppressed the matter."

"This shows that their monarchs and ministers are preparing for something very important."

"This matter has gone beyond the dispute between the court and the assassination of the legitimate son. Even the prime minister has to make concessions for it..."

"This is our best opportunity!"

At this point, he added: "This is also what the head of my family means."

The voice fell.

Everyone here is very motivated.

"Agree!"

"The same goes for a certain family!"

"Hmph! No matter how powerful the royal family is, it cannot be stronger than the nobles in the world. This world is not just his, Li Tang's!"

"Let's make a fuss here in Chang'an... If the emperor compromises, the states and highways can take action together!"

"That's right! Let them know how powerful we are this time!"

…

Everyone reached a consensus.

They quickly turned their heads and looked in the same direction.

In a dark corner of the house, a black shadow stood quietly.

He was dressed in a black robe, with his head and face hidden in a hood, like a messenger from the underworld, exuding a cold chill.

Among a group of noble people.

The middle-aged man said calmly: "What do you think of our actions?"

"You did a great job..."
