Chapter 121: Higurashi Nishiyama

...

This is the second time that Wang Yian has set foot in a class at the Villa

Club, but his mentality is completely different.

When came for the first time, he was full of ambition, thinking it would be a

rare opportunity. The princess and the king are a pair that needs each other

and can support each other. The salt industry can bring wealth but not

stability, but the royal heirs can. After all, the princess is a woman. Which

woman does not want her husband’s family to be strong and prosperous, so that

Can your children achieve a career?

But when he came this time, there was nothing in his head.

What does the princess want? Wang Yian found that he did not understand.

"Caomin pays respects to His Royal Highness."

"Get up, please sit down." Ning Wanjun was still sitting on the head, her

expression was neither enthusiastic nor cold.

But this attitude makes Wang Yi feel more worried.

As for the dishes on the table, he didn't even have the mood to look at

it—what he couldn't wait for the first time he came, now has become

unattractive.

After he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "It's not just the princess who

called me...what is it?"

"Don't you want something to eat first?" Ning Wanjun picked up the chopsticks,

"Although these dishes are not rare and luxurious, they are all carefully

prepared."

"Yes, then...I'm welcome." Wang Yi'an had no choice but to answer. Seeing what

the other party meant, she obviously didn't intend to get to the point-what is

she planning? Does she really know her connection with Dongsheng Kingdom?

Countless questions were surging in his mind, but he was not qualified to

follow up.

When the first piece of fish was in the mouth, he couldn't help being

startled.

This fish...not salty.

Could it be that the cook forgot to put the salt?

He tried another dish, and it was still tasteless.

However, the princess seemed to be unaware, still enjoying her lunch bit by

bit.

Wang Yian felt the sweat coming out of his forehead.

He finally scooped up a spoonful of broth and sipped it slightly to his mouth.

There is no smell except a little oily.

He can't eat this meal anymore.

Pushing aside the chair, Wang Yian backed two steps, then knelt down again,

"Caomin is guilty!"

"Oh?" Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows, "What's your sin?"

"Maliciously raising the salt price makes it difficult for the people of

Jinxia City... to eat salt." He struggled for the last time.

But the princess’s slow and timid words broke all Wang Yian’s defenses, "It

can’t be considered malicious, after all, a large part has to be divided and

sent to the harbor..."

She knows...

Princess really knows!

Wang Yi'an buzzed in his head, even though the Donghai Gang hiding place was

blocked and the news came along with the princess banquet, he had such a

premonition, but there was always a fluke in his heart. Even in the face of an

unsalted luncheon, he tried to use the salt price issue to probe the other

party's intentions.

However, when the princess uttered the word "harbour" lightly, Wang Yian's

only felt that his back was cold, and his legs seemed to be unconscious.

"This matter...this matter..." He murmured a few words but couldn't say a

complete sentence. It's nothing more than selling illegal salt, not only

selling it to other countries, but also using the profits to recruit other

countries' lawmakers. Once this matter is stabbed out, even if your majesty

does not take him now, there will be a day of liquidation in the future. It

can be said that Shang is his role model.

Is there any way to reverse it?

Killed the princess here?

For a moment, Wang Yi'an had this idea in his heart, but it was quickly

dispelled. It is extremely dull, let alone say that the princess is an angry

person, even if it is, if this kind of thing happens at the banquet, his royal

family will definitely be punishable by the clan.

"Let's make a deal." Seeing Wang Yi'an's imposing spirit was gone, Ning Wanjun

didn't plan to act anymore. "First of all, the salt sold overseas must stop. I

don't care what kind of deal you have reached with that side. All are

considered invalid."

The word transaction refreshed him.

It seems that the princess does not intend to tell the saint about the private

salt?

His blank thoughts are running again.

"His Royal Highness, I can tribute half of the proceeds to you——"

"There is no second possibility for this." Ning Wanjun interrupted, "If you

don't want to break, I will break you first. This choice should be easy to do,

right?"

Without the support of the East Sea Gang, he would have lost more than half of

the control of Jinxia City. This is undoubtedly a tragic loss, but compared to

the worst liquidation result, at least the Wang family can continue.

Live, there will be opportunities.

"I...willing to follow suit."

"A wise choice." Ning Wanjun nodded, "Secondly, the salt price will come down.

This part of the salt used for private sale, you and the merchant will put it

out, I can not ask you for the time being. "

"Yes." This is another loss, but the monetary loss is much more acceptable

than the previous point.

"Finally, if Dongshengguo comes to the door, he must report to me no matter

what news he hears." Ning Wanjun said solemnly, "I don't want to have such a

rat den in Jinxia City."

Wang Yian moisturized his dry lips, "As you... wish."

Once the salt sale ends, it is impossible to send someone to support him. Even

if the princess does not mention the third point, he will not be able to piece

together a new Donghai Gang.

"I'll be honest, these three points are far from commensurate with the crime

you committed." Ning Wanjun raised her chin slightly, "Do you know the reason

why you can still stand in the hall?"

"Because... Jinxia City still needs me to produce salt."

"Yes, do your duty well, so that the Privy Council will not find your head."

She stood up satisfied, and walked towards the inner door, "I have other

things to do, so I won’t Eat it with you. Enjoy it yourself slowly."

Wang Yi'an bit his teeth, "Send Your Highness!"

……

Back to his mansion, Wang Yian just walked into the study, and saw that the

eldest son Wang Qingzhi was already waiting in the room.

"Father, your Highness invites you to go, what did you say?"

Wang Yi'an sighed and told the whole story of the banquet.

"You... don't plan to listen to the princess, are you?" Wang Qingzhi frowned.

"Fine, that's all." Wang Yi'an leaned back in his chair, "This transaction,

the Wang family lost the bet. Forget my previous plan, Dongshengguo, it should

never happen again."

"Father!" Wang Qingzhi raised his voice by an octave, "This matter must not be

abandoned halfway~www.mtlnovel.com~ Princess Guangping-I didn't come here to

divide the seal, she has ambitions!"

The word ambition was almost said by him roaring.

"May I not know that she is ambitious? So what?" Wang Yi'an was also angry.

Now it seems that Xia Fan is really a nail that the other party inserted into

the Privy Council. First kill the East China Sea gang, and then cut off the

private salt, this is not like a princess who enjoys the rest of her life

would do! What's more terrible is that none of the power she used had anything

to do with the original power of Jinxia City. Whether it was the well-trained

family members or the command team, they were all new things in a short time.

The Wang family's connections and financial resources have no check and

balance.

What Ning Wanjun did clearly exceeded the limits of a divided princess.

I just blame him for not seeing this clearly earlier!

"At least... The Wang family still holds the right to make salt and sell salt.

And Dong Shengguo... is too far away from my Daqi." Wang Yi'an rubbed his sore

forehead, "You go out. I have done this. Decided, you just arrange it as I

want."

Wang Qingzhi stared at his father for a long time, and finally lowered his

head slowly, "Then you have a good rest."

Father, have you ever thought about why you took this path?

The salt industry can bring wealth, but it cannot bring stability.

The Wang family now holds the right to quell salt, but what about? Since the

princess is ambitious, will she watch all the huge benefits flow into the Wang

family's pockets?

In Wang Qingzhi's eyes, he felt for the first time... his father was old.
