Qin Zhen was a decisive person. He immediately summoned people to study the salt instructor in detail, and quickly wrote a memorandum of the research results and sent a quick horse to the capital overnight.∏∈,

"It is a good stopgap method to use the salt induced method at this time, which can solve the urgent problem. However, Prince Jing'an has to take some risks." Master Ji Er said slowly.

After leaving the living yard, Master Ji Er, Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang sat in the library and talked.

"To accomplish things, there must be people who take risks, right?" Ji Xiaotang seemed much more relaxed than Master Ji's worries. "And, according to Daddy and Uncle, the prince is the kind of person who is afraid of taking risks?"

"Um..." Mr. Ji Er pondered and said nothing.

Master Ji San felt much more happy. He felt that aside from the prince's identity, Qin Zhen was still very tempted by his temper when doing things.

"I think the prince is a person with courage and achievements, and he will never be afraid of taking risks. With the prince here, the people in the world should be saved."

"Third brother, be careful of your words." Master Ji Er said immediately.

Master Ji San's face changed slightly, and he got up as soon as he was busy, nodding solemnly.

"Xiaotang, what do you think?" After Master Ji San sat down again, he asked Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang's view is roughly the same as Master Ji San. Qin Zhen is indeed not afraid of taking risks, but he will not take unnecessary risks. If the salt induced incident is done, it will immediately greatly alleviate the problem of food shortage in the Qin Dynasty.

Prince Jing'an's reputation will be at its peak.

"Dad, I know your worries. But looking at the world, there is no place we can hide, and no one will allow us to hide." If you can't hide, you can only face the difficulties.

"I know." Master Ji Er nodded. It was precisely because he understood this that he did not stop Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang made a proposal for the salt inquiry, and they didn't need to worry about the rest. They came to the library to discuss another important thing.

"Because when it comes to salt induced, the matter of going out to sea will be broken. The prince will mention it again soon. How should we deal with it at that time should be discussed carefully first." Master Ji Er said.

"I'm afraid things will inevitably happen if my uncle goes to sea again." Ji Xiaotang said.

Master Ji Er nodded.

Master Ji San nodded. He was very willing to go out to sea again and was not afraid of any difficulties or dangers.

"But, my uncle can't do his best." Ji Xiaotang said again, "Dad, uncle. I have already figured out a way out for the Ji family. Whether it is successful or not will be successful will be in these few days."

Ji Xiaotang lowered his voice and said something to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San in this way.

Master Ji Er and Master Ji San were both silent for a while.∏∈,

"Can this... work?" After silence, Master Ji San spoke first.

"The key to whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on the prince's attitude." Master Ji Er continued.

"Dad said it well." Ji Xiaotang nodded, "We already have enough sizes in our hands. Moreover, today, Yan Yin suggested that I was just as I guessed. In this game, I bet he would agree. I also have the ability to agree."

Master Ji Er thought for a while, and finally Zheng Keyou.

"This matter is based on Xiaotang's intention. If it can be done, everyone will be happy. From then on, our Ji family will be free in the world and have no worries."

The three of them discussed the matter properly and acted separately without mentioning it.

...

Qin Zhen wrote several letters, struggling to oppose the public. In mid-March, the imperial court issued a salt quotation for citation of grain for salt. Once the statute was promulgated, the rich families from all over the country responded.

Because Qin Zhen was in charge, the response of the wealthy families in Ren'an Mansion became even more active.

On that day, Qin Zhen came back from outside. He seemed to be in a very good mood. He even ordered someone to prepare a small banquet and prepare to invite the Ji family and Qi Younian to have a drink in the evening.

Ji Xiaotang knew the news later. When she knew that Qin Zhen was in Ruyi Garden at this moment, she cleaned up a little and brought Jin'er, Xiu'er, Cui'er and Bi'er to Ruyi Garden.

The road was unobstructed, Ji Xiaotang met Qin Zhen in the pavilion next to the rockery.

"Xiaotang is so excited." Qin Zhen smiled and said to Ji Xiaotang, "The method of salt induced has begun to show results. Thanks to Xiaotang's advice, I have not thanked Xiaotang well. Later, I asked someone to prepare a small banquet, and Xiaotang must give him a look."

Qin Zhen is really in a good mood.

"The prince is invited, but he dares not obey his orders." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, "It's just a matter of salt, so he must never take credit. It's not that the prince uses great wisdom, great strength, and great compassion, and even if there are good strategies to save the world and the people, it cannot be implemented."

Ji Xiaotang's words did not have any extraordinary beginnings, and they could be regarded as a praise of Qin Zhen. However, Qin Zhen obviously did not think so. He looked at Ji Xiaotang with deep meaning in his eyes.

Qin Zhen held a banquet tonight and would definitely re-introduce the matter of asking Master Ji San to go to sea. Some things must be clearly stated before Qin Zhen spoke.

"Although this is the second time the prince has come, I'm afraid I haven't seen it all in Ruyi Garden yet." So, even though he was watched like this by Qin Zhen, Ji Xiaotang simply changed the topic.

"Then Xiaotang will lead the way," Qin Zhen said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang led Qin Zhen and walked along the bluestone road in the garden, but turned out of Ruyi Garden. "≤, Qin Zhen looked around, but he didn't mention anything, and just told Ji Xiaotang some other gossip.

Soon, Ji Xiaotang led Qin Zhen to the front of a small courtyard.

This small courtyard is close to Ruyi Garden, small, unique and very childish, and it is the small study of the Ji family.

"Please take a tea inside and sit down for a while." Ji Xiaotang said.

Qin Zhen was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he seemed to have guessed that Ji Xiaotang would bring him here.

The courtyard of the small study was quiet, and there were only two little girls guarding the corridor. Seeing Ji Xiaotang bringing Qin Zhen, the two little girls were busy and they were about to report to the house.

Ji Xiaotang waved his hand gently and asked the little girl to retreat. Then he took Qin Zhen straight up the steps and lifted the curtain into the house.

In March, there are two braziers in the house. The house is warm and full of strong herbal smell. This is definitely not a comfortable environment for ordinary people, let alone Qin Zhen.

However, Qin Zhen entered the room, as usual, without any abnormality.

Qin Zhen looked around and his eyes immediately fell on the short kang next to the window.

Xie Huaijin was wearing a thick cotton robe and sat on the short kang. Ji Xiaoyun held a bowl of medicine in her hand and a plate of candied fruit in her wintersweet, all standing under the kang.

Ji Xiaoyun is urging Xie Huaijin to take medicine.

"Brother Huaijin, it's time to take medicine." Ji Xiaoyun said softly.

Xie Huaijin pouted, twisted her body, and refused to take the medicine as he pleased.

"If I don't take it, you always lie to me. The medicine is not bitter, but it is bitter every time."

"I won't lie to you this time. The doctor changed the prescription. This medicine is much better than the last one." Ji Xiaoyun said patiently.

"How do you know?" Xie Huaijin didn't believe it. Her eyes looked dark and big on her thin and still pale face.

"Of course I know, I've tasted it just now." Ji Xiaoyun said, "Brother Huaijin, take medicine quickly."

"Then, take a bite of medicine and take a piece of candied fruit." Xie Huaijin blinked and stretched out his fingers and gestured.

"Okay, a mouthful of medicine and a piece of candied fruit." Ji Xiaoyun responded with a good temper.

Xie Huaijin stopped hiding and let Ji Xiaoyun feed him medicine. As expected, he took a small sip of the medicine juice and took a piece of candied fruit.

Ji Xiaotang led Qin Zhen to stand at the door, without walking in, and did not make a sound to alarm Ji Xiaoyun. Seeing this, Ji Xiaotang turned his head and looked at Qin Zhen's expression, and then he and Qin Zhen gently retreated from the room.

"Prince, this... is Xie Huaijin." Standing in the courtyard of the small study, Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen.

Xie Huaijin was seriously injured, and Ji Xiaotang and others explained to Qin Zhen again about Xie Ziqian's rebellion. Xie Huaijin was kept in the dark, and on the night of the rebels, Xie Huaijin bravely stood up and used his life to resist Xie Ziqian.

Ji Xiaotang pleaded for mercy. Taking into account all the situations, Qin Zhen agreed to the Ji family to take care of Xie Huaijin. After all, taking away the half-dead Xie Huaijin would not be of any benefit to him. If the Ji family took care of Xie Huaijin, Xie Huaijin could recover, and the Ji family would remember his favors.

Xie Huaijin was in the small study. Only Ji Xiaoyun took the girl to take care of her, and Dr. Li came to take the pulse on time. Apart from this, there was no contact with anyone else.

Just under Qin Zhen's nose, the Ji family was aware of the knowledge and did it appropriately, and Qin Zhen was happy to give this favor.

However, this situation can only be temporary. Once Xie Huaijin's body is well maintained, he will never have the reason to live in the Ji family again. At that time, the prison of Qingyuan County Government and then, it is probably the death row prison of Dali Temple in the capital.

Ji Xiaotang tried his best to protect Xie Huaijin, not to give him a healthy body and go to prison and beheaded for public display.

"He... has always been like this?" Qin Zhen asked.

"I fell asleep for four days, and everyone felt that I had no hope. Although I woke up afterwards, I didn't recognize anyone. Not only that, it seemed like here..." Ji Xiaotang pointed to his head, "I was only seven or eight years old.... He was too injured at that time and hit his head. The doctor said that this was the best situation."

"Can you recover after continuing to take care of yourself?" Qin Zhen asked again.

"A complete recovery is absolutely impossible. The best thing is that now." Ji Xiaotang said.

Ji Xiaotang did not tell the truth completely on this point. After all, miracles rarely appear in this world.

Qin Zhen pondered silently.

Xie Huaijin is useless to him.

"Brother Huaijin's life experience is very pitiful." Ji Xiaotang's eyes inadvertently swept over Qin Zhen's face, and guessed what he thought.

"Oh?" Qin Zhen seemed to be thinking about something and responded.

"Others don't know... We grew up together since childhood, and the uncle of the Xie family did not avoid me. Brother Huaijin was not the biological son of Xie Magistrate Xie and Uncle Xie."

"Oh?" This time, Qin Zhen turned his head and looked at Ji Xiaotang. His entire attention was finally on what Ji Xiaotang said.

"As soon as Brother Huaijin was born, she was brought to Xie Magistrate to raise by Uncle Xie."

"You mean, Xie Huaijin is not Xie Ziqian's biological child, but his relative's child?"

"No. Xie Magistrate Xie has no relatives. Before Huaijin's brother was brought to Xie Magistrate Xie, Xie Magistrate Xie had told Xie Magistrate Xie that there was a child to be brought to them as their child raised. Xie Magistrate Xie refused to tell Xie Magistrate Xie in detail, saying that this child is very important, priceless, and..."

Ji Xiaotang's brief words made people wonder. Xie Huaijin was actually the child that Xie Ziqian killed?

In this world, will there be a child who can let Xie Ziqian do this? And he also said that he is priceless.

Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang, suspicious.

"At that time, everyone's eyes, Xie Magistrate Qianqian, naturally, would not think about this. But when I saw that he was not ruthless in killing Brother Huaijin that night, he did not care or suffer any pain after that, I knew that this was probably the truth."
