To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Chapter 73 Prince

Jiusu saw disgust in his eyes. He thought that he was a rival and his status would not be too low, higher than Prince Chang. He might very well be the crown prince. Oh, he forgot to ask Jiang Jing about Shengjing.

Otherwise it wouldn't be so passive.

"Since you are so powerful, please save my family for me."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Saving a family, Miss Jiu is accumulating merits for me. But whose family are you saving? What kind of hardships have they suffered?" Xu Qihuai smiled, neither refusing nor agreeing.

He looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup.

Mu Ke from the mansion said that there must be a big surprise this time, a surprise bigger than arithmetic. What is it?

Qiu Shishu tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Girl, just say it. My Master Xu is no ordinary man."

Jiusu said: "Jiang Jing, I guess you must know him, right?"

"Jiang Jing?" Xu Qihuai's heart trembled. This name had not been mentioned in front of him for a long time. He had also looked for it secretly, but was severely stopped by Mu Ke. At that time, whoever mentioned it would be in trouble.

They were actually exiled here and knew Jiusu.

There are such coincidences in the world.

Jiusu's eyes were filled with seriousness, and he said bluntly, "Their family is a fugitive, but King Chang has sent people to assassinate them. The day before yesterday, Lou Ming set a fire in the Jiang family, and the house has been burned to ashes, but there are no witnesses or physical evidence, so we can't report it to the police."

The only way is to use conspiracy and tricks to force Lou Ming away.

Qiu Shishu sighed and shook his head.

"How dare they be so bold? Will the Jiang family also be buried in the fire?"

"I moved them to my house the night before. Jiang Jing went to Lingcheng. I heard there was a big case there, so he wanted to go there to make merit and get rid of his status as a fugitive." Jiusu said, "I don't want you to deal with Lou Ming, but to help Jiang Jing's family get rid of their status as fugitives."

There are thousands of ways to deal with Lou Ming, it's just a problem of ancient feudal class, she really has no way to solve the problem of identity.

Xu Qihuai asked curiously: "What is your relationship with Jiang Jing?"

Jiusu said truthfully: "Lover."

"Oh~" Xu Qihuai's face showed a hint of gossip, "What is the relationship between Miss Jiu and General Chen?"

Jiusu was silent for a few seconds, "Ex-husband."

Qiu Shishu smiled helplessly. The prince was too gossipy. General Chen's romantic affairs had long been spread throughout the world. Perhaps General Bai, who was still handling miscellaneous affairs in Mobei, had also heard about it?

I'm really looking forward to the "harmonious" scene of the father-in-law and son-in-law meeting each other.

"Did General Chen force you to divorce?"

"No, I was the one who proposed the divorce." Jiusu said.

Divorce and retirement are completely different. One makes you free, while the other makes you abandoned.

Xu Qihuai was even more puzzled. "Why did Miss Jiu leave the rich and powerful general and choose a fugitive with nothing? I just can't understand."

Jiusu took a sip of tea. Why are these two grown men so gossipy? Sure enough, gossip knows no age or gender. She chuckled, "The emperor is more noble. Does everyone have to choose the emperor? Is it okay not to choose?"

"Okay!" Xu Qihuai smiled and shook his head. He straightened his clothes and talked about business. "To restore your identity, you do need to make achievements. Jiang Che went to Lingcheng. I'm afraid he was involved in the 'mysterious murder' incident. Many officers and soldiers died. I'm afraid Jiang Jing will never come back."

Jiusu frowned.

Qiu Shishu explained: "It's not that they are so cruel. During the investigation, people kept dying, but they still couldn't catch the culprit. There was no clue at all. It was really too scary."

"Is it possible that the government somewhere didn't investigate it seriously?" Jiusu asked.

"Impossible." Qiu Shishu shook his head. "When Shengjing learned about this, they immediately sent Detective Yang. It's been three days, but there is still no discovery. He was even injured. Fortunately, there are heavy troops defending the place."

Jiusu's heart tightened. What about Jiang Jing? Wouldn't it be more dangerous if he was alone?

She asked, "If Jiang Jing investigates the case, will there be a chance to restore my identity?"

"Yes, but not much." Xu Qihuai said truthfully, "Even if Jiang Jing investigated this case and deserves most of the credit, Jiang Jing needs to get the approval of Lord Yang, Lord Yang is willing to report the matter, and the emperor is willing to pardon the Jiang family's crimes."

After a long time, Jiusu's eyes lit up.

He wiped the water droplets on the table with his fingers and said, "We have persuaded Lord Yang to report this matter. The emperor is unwilling to pardon, but it is because he does not have enough bargaining chips. When the time comes, please send a letter to the emperor."

Xu Qihuai raised his eyebrows, looking a little interested, "What is the content of the letter...?"

Jiusu chuckled.

"Jiang Jing developed fine salt."

The two stood up, looking surprised. Especially Xu Qihuai, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but get excited. He said seriously and solemnly: "Miss Jiu, this is not a joke."

In ancient times, the importance of salt was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.

[A small bottle of fine salt has been put into the backpack]

Jiusu pretended to take it out, put it on the table, and opened the cork. "I'm not kidding. It should be worth it to exchange the identity of the Jiang family's exile for refined salt, right?"

Qiu Shishu carefully picked up the bottle, poured it into his hand, tasted it, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Then he poured it into the prince's palm, "Try it."

Jiusu: “…” It’s too shameful to watch.

Xu Qihuai took a light taste and found it soft and tender, not too salty, without any impurities and very pure.

"Miss Jiu, this fine salt..."

"Your Highness, if the matter is accomplished, I will give you the secret of fine salt." Jiusu interrupted him. Now, she has taken the initiative. "Please consider it. I will take my leave first."

Looking at the woman's departing back, everything around seemed to dim.

Suddenly, Xu Qihuai came back to his senses, "What did she call me just now?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Qiu Shishu recalled, sighing and shaking his head, "Miss Jiu is really an amazing woman. It turns out that she had already seen through it, but she still remained neither humble nor overbearing. If we can get this person, it will definitely be beneficial."

Xu Qihuai's mouth curled up, "Uncle, you recommended a talented person to me! She is with Jiang Jing and is an enemy of Prince Chang. Even if she doesn't enter my house, she will definitely not be an enemy of me. Do you think this fine salt is true?"

Qiu Shishu thought for a moment.

"I have investigated. Miss Jiu has never left here. The most prominent person she knows is none other than General Chen. This fine salt is worth a fortune. I don't think it's fake. Salt is a national treasure. Doesn't the prince also have a crush on Jiang Jing? Why not do this good thing? The emperor will also attribute the credit for discovering the fine salt to you, and you can also be friends with Jiusu and Jiang Jing. Why not?"

Without saying a word, Xu Qihuai went to the study, wrote a letter, and wrote Jiang Jing's determination to make up for his crime with meritorious service in the letter.

He flexed his wrist and shouted, "Changlin, take my token and salt, and ride as fast as you can to Shengjing to hand them over to the emperor. No delay is allowed on the way. If anyone stops you, you will be killed without mercy!"

Changlin knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.

"Yes! I obey my orders."
