The door of the compound was closed, and the inside was unified, locking many peeping or curious eyes outside.

Manager Lin, Oh, no, Lin Xi looked at Mr. Jiang with bright eyes.

Mr. Jiang's knees softened and he immediately knelt down in the yard: "Prefect Lin, help me!"

Lin Xi served as the prefect of Hangzhou, so he was called the prefect.

Seeing Mr. Jiang kneeling down, Lin Xi did not support him, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang Chaorui is the Western Xia Imperial Shang Dynasty, and his backing is all over the court and the country. Why should I tell you this to me, an idle person?"

Jiang Chaorui showed an embarrassing smile on his face: "The prefect is joking. I look glorious, but in the eyes of those Xixia nobles, they are actually just fattening pigs.

When it is necessary, come and cut a few pieces. If it is New Year's Day, just boil hot water and put it into a pot.

You see, after the war in the past six months, the Western Xia court was indeed exhausted, but in fact, the so-called imperial merchants like me are exhausted!

Some of the money that they had saved for the business they had managed before has been scraped out now, but they are afraid they will not be satisfied."

Jiang Chaorui had a bitter smile and helplessness on his face, and there was fear in it. I guess once the noble person's appetite was not satisfied, his Jiang family would probably not end up well.

Lin Xi walked into the hall: "Get up, this time I came to you to do something, which will just add some variables to your current situation. It depends on whether you are willing to do it."

When Jiang Chaorui heard this, his face was surprised and happy. He quickly got up and followed Lin Xi into the hall, and then asked someone to take the tea. After serving the tea, everyone rushed out, leaving only him and Lin Xi.

Jiang Chaorui whispered: "But there is news from the national court?"

Lin Xi glanced at Jiang Chaorui and said, "That's not your national dynasty, your Jiang family is a Xixia native of several generations."

Jiang Chaorui smiled flatteringly and said, "Prince Lin is now out of the way. After all, the Han people are Han people. No matter when, the Han people's court is our Han people's national dynasty, and the rest are just a false commotion."

Lin Xi chuckled softly: "Well, let's just talk about it. The envoys sent by Xixia to the Song Dynasty have not come back yet, but I can tell you the approximate result of the negotiation..."

He looked at the hopes on Jiang Chaorui's face and couldn't help but smile and said, "...Don't think about it. The Song Dynasty will not trade with the Liang family anymore. The Song Dynasty wanted to trade was...the other side of Hengshan."

The blood on Jiang Chaorui's face faded quickly.

If the trade between Song and Xia cannot be restored, he, the imperial merchant who made his fortune through the free trade zone, will basically have no effect. How would those noble people deal with him... Of course, they will peel him off and remove his bones and make a pot of good soup.

"Why did it stop? Why didn't you do it? What else can you trade with the Song Dynasty in Hengshan?"

Jiang Chaorui was unwilling to let it go.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "The Song Dynasty returned in a defeat, and the officials were extremely angry about this. How could they give up their face and trade with the Western Xia? Naturally, they would not agree for a while.

It just so happens that the situation in Xixia is unstable. With such a variable as Hengshan, it is natural for the official to get involved. There is nothing strange about it."

Jiang Chaorui also understood this truth. His unwillingness was just the catastrophe he was about to face.

Jiang Chaorui gritted his teeth and said, "Prefect Lin, what do you want a villain to do?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's nothing big. I just want to borrow your status as an imperial merchant and bring some people into the palace."

Jiang Chaorui was shocked: "Prefect Lin, what do you want to do!"

Lin Xi's expression remained unchanged: "You don't need to know, but what you can know is that after the matter is completed, you, Jiang Chaorui, will be the largest imperial merchant. The goods you can handle are ten times as much as you handle now. Even... Qingzhou Industrial Park will divide some industries to come to Xixia. At that time, this part of the industrial park can be managed by you."

Jiang Chaorui's aura became heavier. He knew how much wealth it contained. If it was true as Lin Xi said, then he would become the richest businessman in Xixia, no doubt.

However, the risks are too great.

Jiang Chaorui's legs trembled for a while, swallowing his saliva and said hard: "Does the Song Dynasty want to assassinate Liang?"

Lin Xi couldn't help but smile and said, "How could you think I am from the Song Dynasty?"

Jiang Chaorui glared and said, "...You are not from the Song Dynasty, are you from the Liao Kingdom? You shouldn't be, uh...

Jiang Chaorui blurted out as if he had thought of something: "...No way?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Well, I used to be from the Song Dynasty, but later I betrayed it. Now I am a minister of the Emperor Xixia Li Bingchang."

Jiang Chaorui collapsed on the chair and murmured: "How could you be Li Bingchang's side? You don't have the chance to contact him at all?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Jiang Chaorui, you don't have much time left. Come and think about this matter quickly. Do you agree or not..."

Jiang Chaorui shuddered, and the smile on Lin Xi's face seemed to be without a trace of warmth at this time.

"If, I mean if..."

Lin Xi raised his hand and said coldly: "There is no if, if you don't agree today, then the Jiang family will have no meaning of existence."

Jiang Chaorui was shocked: "What do you want?"

Lin Xi looked at Jiang Chaorui in surprise, and did not speak, as if he was a little regretful.

Jiang Chaorui knew that his question was too stupid, Lin Xi had already said it so clearly, and he asked this question enough to make the other party regard him as a fool.

Since Lin Xi is Li Bingchang's person, this time it is naturally involved in the change of imperial power. Since he knows such a big secret, he must join in. Otherwise, once the Jiang family leaks the news, Lin Xi and the others' plots will be exposed, so how could they take risks?

Jiang Chaorui quickly said, "Prince, I understand. I just lost my composure, I... join!"

Lin Xi smiled again: "I just said, Mr. Jiang is a smart person after all, so how could he make a choice that is not smart? Then he has to rely on Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Chaorui touched the sweat beads on his forehead and smiled bitterly: "I'm now on the shelves. I hope you can accomplish your great things, otherwise my Jiang family will probably be destroyed by nine clans."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "There are naturally great benefits, not to mention that this time the matter is not that difficult. Your Majesty still has great justice. Liang is just a traitor. Once Your Majesty arrives, the traitor will collapse immediately. Master Jiang doesn't have to worry too much!"

Jiang Chaorui sighed.
Chapter completed!
