For people with a backer like Sun Pu, there was no need to talk about other matters. Normally, people would not dare to cause trouble even if they were at a disadvantage, and most people would rather spend money to avoid disaster. But now that a human life had been taken, Sun Pu had assembled his men and started making a ruckus.

On the one hand, this also involved the local salt merchants monopolizing prices. Foreign merchants would not be able to enter, or else they would have to raise prices, causing the local people to suffer greatly. Taking advantage of the commotion caused by the merchants, the citizens also gathered to surround the officials and officials, but the local officials were extremely arrogant.

With such a commotion in the Southwest region, even the Northwest and Jiangnan started to raise the prices again and again. In short, the merchants never stopped fighting for their own benefits, and would cry out if there was even the slightest movement, and those who suffered losses were still ordinary citizens. With things having gotten to this point, the imperial government would definitely intervene, and Song Yanchen had come to find Gu Yun to seek asylum and profit from him.

Therefore, Song Yanchen did not gift the gift for free.

”Sis Jing Luo, since the men have matters to discuss, I'll bring you around the courtyard.” Madam Song stood up and said.

Xie Jingxi glanced at Gu Yun, who smiled at her, ”I'll go out and look for you later, be careful.”

”Don't worry, Master Gu, I promise I won't lose it for you.”

Song Yanchen watched the two of them go, then turned and said to Gu Yun: ”Master Gu is truly lucky, you actually married all of our spirit energy in Jiangnan back to your home.”

Gu Yun looked very happy, ”President Song, you must be joking, how can I compare to your blessings.”

Song Yanchen laughed and did not speak, then changed the topic, ”Master Gu, in your opinion, if the imperial government were to take action, how would it resolve this?”

”President Song, you are an insider, I believe you have set foot in the mall in the Southwest region, these merchants are so unscrupulous and dare to bully others, in terms of business, you cannot stay long, I have been free these days, so I am home, and I am not sure of His Majesty's intentions, but the way of the heavens is fair, I think that you will not take mercy.”

Song Yanchen muttered: ”To be honest, Master Gu, I do not agree with their actions, but as merchants, we are all seeking benefits, and in front of the benefits of being rich, it is inevitable that many people will take the risk, and even I myself cannot guarantee that they will not have any other thoughts, I can't say for sure, because after all, the Heavenly Dao is still too far away for them.”

Gu Yun said in his heart that the old fox Song Yanchen had a lot of secrets, and he was still worried even after he finished speaking, thus he continued, ”President Song need not worry too much. His Majesty is not muddleheaded, for a good trade like the President Song that wants to become a citizen, it will definitely not affect you, and although the southwest region is not as much as the northwest, it will definitely be very profitable, and at that time, President Song will be able to benefit from it, and it will be pretty good.”

Gu Yun gave Song Yanchen a tranquilizer, causing him to laugh out loud, ”Master Gu has always been straightforward, I will definitely rely more on Master Gu in the future. I do not understand the matter of Imperial Court, it all depends on you, Master Gu.”

Xie Jingxi followed Madam Song out for a stroll, and asked: ”I can see that President Song and Madam are also elegant people, and that the flowers in the courtyard are all cultivated with great care.”

Madam Song smiled and said, ”Ahem, I was just messing around. It wasn't that refined, but it was really worth the money.”

”Has Madam Song come to the capital often?”

”I don't come here often either. It's only the spring and autumn of every year. I'm not used to other seasons.” ”Look, this pond full of golden carp was brought over from the south. I don't know how many died on the way, but the capital is really too cold. Every day, we clean out enough fish to make a feast for the carp.”

Xie Jingxi laughed, ”That's quite a pity.”

”Before, I wanted to talk about a wife with Huanzhi, but he said that his heart belongs to someone, and was unwilling to ask that. Madam Song spread out a handful of fish food and gathered the fish. ”Later on, even the water in this pond was transported from the south and the temperature was controlled by special people. That's why it could be raised this way.”

Xie Jingxi picked up a handful of fish food and threw it down, ”I'm not used to it when I'm here, it'll be fine after I stay for two years, but once the fish get used to the climate of the capital, they will naturally not die so easily.”

Madame Song gave her a thoughtful look. ”You're right too.”

”Oh, which family's girl is she from? I've never seen her before.”

Just as she was speaking, a man's voice suddenly came from behind him. Xie Jingxi was startled and threw away the fish food in her hands.
