Chapter 90: White Lotus Conspiracy!
Sun Ruiyi was stunned when he heard this. Is this a promise?
If he can really enter the official career, then the Sun family will really reach greater heights in the future.
"Your Highness... this..."
Sun Ruiyi was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Nothing, it's just a promise. It depends on your nephew when the time comes."
"It would be fine if your nephew was just ordinary!"
Sun Ruiyi immediately understood that if his nephew was mediocre in the future, the promise would be invalid, so it was up to him to train him.
"I understand, but I still want to thank you for your kindness!"
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Your Sun family is isolated, and you are isolated too, so there is nothing wrong with doing this."
"Remember, what I want is your Sun family's loyalty, not hypocrisy."
If the previous ones were all favors, then the last sentence was a warning. Sun Rui was able to make the right choice before, but he was not sure whether Sun Ruiyi could do the same.
The dates that are due should be given, but the slaps that are due should still be given.
"Yes, I'll remember it!"
At this moment, Sun Ruiyi was quite pleasing to his eyes.
"Alright, continue to carry out the refined salt plan. Go back and bury your brother properly first. As for justice, I will seek it for your brother!"
Sun Ruiyi knew that his brother's death was not something he could investigate, as he didn't know how much powerful force was behind it.
"Yes, I understand!"
Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction. Although there were some problems with the Sun family, fortunately the situation was still under his control.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll send someone to inform you when there's news. Please accept my condolences!"
Sun Ruiyi nodded disappointedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
After the person left, his expression suddenly turned cold, and the study became eerily quiet.
How could Xiao Yan not be angry when his own people were killed so quietly?
But he was not sure who did it. Hu Zhenghe was very likely the one, but he could not rule out the possibility that it was done by an opponent of the Sun family.
After all, many methods used in the business world are dishonorable, so let's just wait for news from the Imperial Guards.
After Xiao Yan calmed down, he began to review memorials. A lot , and now he needed to solve them all.
But before we started, Sande came in.
"Your Highness, Lord Duan has been informed of the matter, and the Royal Guards have been dispatched. I believe there will be news soon."
Xiao Yan did not raise his head, but continued to read the memorial.
"Okay, I understand. You can go now."
Sande did not leave, but continued, "Your Highness, the Minister of Rites is outside the door asking to see you."
Xiao Yan was suddenly a little puzzled. There was nothing big happening recently, so why did the Ministry of Rites look for him?
"Let him in!"
After the person came in, Xiao Yan put down the letter in his hand and looked at the person in front of him.
"Your Highness, I, Pei Qian, pay my respects to you!"
When Xiao Yan heard the name, he almost laughed out loud. This name was not very interesting.
"What do you want from me?"
Pei Qian did not dare to delay after hearing this, and quickly said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has told me about your relationship with Miss Jia."
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you when you think it would be best to get married, so that I can ask the Imperial Observatory to choose a date and then prepare for the ceremony."
Xiao Yan was stunned. He just signed the marriage certificate and was thinking about when to get married. There was no need to be in such a hurry.
Seeing Xiao Yan frowning, Pei Qian also became very nervous. He had killed many people since Xiao Yan became regent.
He was afraid that this would displease Xiao Yan and lead to his destruction.
"Put this matter on hold for now. Now is not the right time. As for the Champion Marquis, I will give an explanation myself."
Xiao Yan felt that now was not the right time. After all, the situation was not stable and there was no time to deal with those things.
"Yes, I understand. However, this matter still requires the cooperation of His Highness and His Majesty..."
"Otherwise, I really don't know what to say."
Xiao Yan nodded. He really had to deal with this matter himself. After all, it was his own marriage and no one else dared to make arrangements for it.
"Okay, go ahead!"
After Pei Qian left, Xiao Yan continued to be busy.
Outside the city, there is a cave in Mangshan.
At this time, a masked man stood on a high place, and several masked men stood cautiously on the side.
"Holy Lord, we have killed Sun Ruicai, but we did not get anything out of him."
"We were afraid he would scream, so we just slit his throat!"
When the Holy Lord heard the reports from his subordinates, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"You can't even do such a simple thing? I asked you to kidnap someone, but you killed him instead."
"The prince must have some big plan with the Sun family, otherwise he wouldn't have built such a large workshop."
"And they brought in so much salt. There must be something fishy about this."
"The prince destroyed the Cui family, which means that the White Lotus Sect's financial resources were cut off, so we must continue to investigate this matter."
"If there is really any way to make money, it must be in our hands."
"Otherwise the development of my teaching will be greatly restricted."
The people below did not dare to refute at all, after all, they were indeed not doing their job well.
"Yes, I will definitely find out what the Sun family did. Please rest assured, Lord."
The Holy Lord nodded and said, "Remember, this opportunity must not be missed, Green Snake, don't let me be disappointed in you."
"Okay, that's it. Tell me how the believers are doing recently?"
The green snake suddenly felt relieved, because the Holy Lord’s aura was too strong before.
"Your Majesty, our followers have spread to various places in Kyoto, and their number exceeds tens of thousands."
"We have people from all walks of life, including scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans."
"But there is one thing we can't infiltrate, and that's the military. It's too tight."
"It might expose us, so we are still considering the possibility of military infiltration."
From this it is not difficult to hear that the White Lotus Sect is huge, not only in terms of numbers, but also has infiltrated all walks of life.
"Let's hold off on the military. I don't know why the military is acting so strangely in the court, as if any court affairs have nothing to do with them."
"If it is really exposed, the loss will outweigh the gain!"
"There are still too few followers to continue to recruit, especially those from the civilian class, who are easier to brainwash."
"A group of ignorant people will be completely devoted to us as long as we can embed our deified image into their hearts."
"It will be of great use at a critical moment."
Hearing this, the green snake bowed and said, "Yes, I understand!"
"However, due to the demise of the Cui family, we are short of money. Lord, please see if you can help us out. We really can't get much out of the civilians!"
Xiao Yan didn't know about this. If he knew, he would be surprised. Isn't this just a big pyramid scheme organization?
