Chapter 466 Li is in trouble

After seeing Song Ruize off, Qin Huiyin checked the recent accounts at the Food City and looked up the recent business situation of the Food Street.

There are hundreds of shops in the entire food street, big and small, all of which are under her management.

Those people only rented her shop, but the ownership of the shop was still hers. Therefore, if there was any friction between the shops, she had to come forward as the referee.

Bang! Someone pushed the door open heavily.

Qin Huiyin looked up and saw Xia Ruwan with a pale face.

"What happened?" Qin Huiyin stood up.

She had never seen Xia Ruwan so distraught.

"Something happened to Li Congxiao." Xia Ruwan strode over, holding her hand and said anxiously, "It should be said that something happened to Prince Ning, and he was also implicated. What should we do?"

"Don't be anxious, talk slowly, at least let me figure out what's going on." Qin Huiyin said to Shu Hui next to her, "Hurry up and pour your lady a glass of water."

Shuhui had obviously cried as well. She was usually calm, but now she was in a state of panic. Only after Qin Huiyin reminded her did she come to her senses and pour Xia Ruwan a glass of water to calm her down.

"Ever since Prince Ning took Li Jingyan as his concubine, he has been treating the Li family as his own money bag, and has let the Li family take care of many things. Li Congxiao is also the new generation of the Li family's heir, so all those things have to go through his hands. Now the things Prince Ning did have been discovered by the higher-ups, and the people in Prince Ning's mansion have been thrown into jail. It is said that their property will be confiscated once the facts are verified."

"What did Prince Ning do?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"I don't know either. He never told me what he did for Prince Ning." Xia Ruwan was anxious and angry. "Since it's a crime of confiscation of property, it must be very serious. What should we do?"

Qin Huiyin patted her chest and advised, "Don't worry, let's find out how he is doing first. If we want to find out clearly, my brother's people have better connections. I will send someone to pass a message immediately and ask them to report to us after they find out clearly."

Qin Huiyin looked at Zhilan.

Zhilan understood what he meant and did it immediately.

Xia Ruwan has always been calm and collected, but when faced with such a big thing, she is not invincible, and of course she will lose her calm thinking.

Zhilan returned soon with news: "Last year, the Ning County Prince's Mansion used its power to seize a gold mine, massacred villagers from three nearby villages, and even made it look like an epidemic. The survivors of that incident went through all kinds of hardships and finally filed a complaint with the emperor, which led to the current situation where everyone in the Ning County Prince's Mansion was thrown into prison."

"Last year?" Xia Ruwan said, "He hadn't followed Prince Ning at that time, so why did they arrest him?"

"It is true that he followed Prince Ning. The entire Li family used the power of Prince Ning's Mansion to do many things. Now that Prince Ning's Mansion has fallen, he will certainly be implicated. Now I don't know how the higher-ups will assess his guilt. The Li family had not yet attached themselves to Prince Ning and had not been involved in those things, so it stands to reason that the sentence should not be too severe."

"Yinyin, can you get him out? You don't have to give up the money from the Li family. I can also pay. I will use half of the Xia family's property to redeem him. As long as he comes out safely, it will be fine." Xia Ruwan cried anxiously. "Yinyin, he can't be in trouble, otherwise what should I do?"

"Okay, okay, I'll think of a way. I'll go and see if there's any solution. Don't worry, go back and wait for my news."

"But now I am..."

"You keep pestering me, how can I find a solution?" Qin Huiyin said seriously.

Shuhui pulled Xia Ruwan away.

Now it's Qin Huiyin's turn to have a headache.

This case involves a lot of things, and she is not an official in the court, so where can she find a solution? The only person she can discuss this with now is Tang Yichen.

"Let's go to the Ministry of Industry."

Tang Yichen is an official of the Ministry of Industry, so he may not have a solution. However, he knows a lot, and the interpersonal relationships in the officialdom are complicated, so perhaps he can help with some ideas.

Qin Huiyin was waiting for Tang Yichen outside the Ministry of Works.

Tang Yichen didn't come out, but Chen Yu came to pick her up. Chen Yu took her in directly.

Qin Huiyin looked at the layout inside the Ministry of Industry with curiosity.

"Master Tang, this is a problem with your drawing, not our craftsmanship. We made it according to the drawing, but it didn't achieve the effect you said. Can you blame us?"

"That's right. Lord Tang is a scholar, and I'm afraid he has never seen this kind of craftsmanship. You don't understand craftsmanship, but you insist on running to the Ministry of Works to give orders, which will only cause trouble for us."

"Master Ying, do you not want to change?"

"No, it can't be changed at all."

Henry Zhang said in Tang Yichen’s ear: “The second young lady is coming in.”

Tang Yichen looked back, and when he saw Qin Huiyin, he said to Mr. Ying beside him: "Okay, it's up to you."

After saying that, he turned and left, striding towards Qin Huiyin.

The ministers who had been arguing with Tang Yichen followed his gaze and when they saw the stunningly beautiful Qin Huiyin, they all revealed a wolfish look.

This is the Ministry of Industry, which is the world of science and engineering men. Many of the ministers here are young and unmarried. Suddenly seeing such a delicate flower, how can you not be envious!

"Who is that?"

"I just heard from Zhang Zhen that the second young lady is here."

Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Tang Yichen.

Does Tang Yichen have such a beautiful sister?

Tang Yichen came over with a smile: "Why are you in the Ministry of Industry? Is there something urgent?"

If there was no emergency, she would not come directly to him.

"It's really something urgent. I don't know what to do. I thought you could help me with some ideas, so I came to you. Am I disturbing you?"

"Let's go to the study and talk."

As the Vice Minister of Works, Tang Yichen stayed in the same study room with two other Vice Ministers of Works.

At this time, the two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works were not there, and he was the only one in the study.

Qin Huiyin looked at the messy yet orderly documents, and vaguely saw the densely packed drawings, and suddenly began to doubt whether her previous decision was correct.

"Brother, I wanted to get promoted quickly before in order to get rid of the marriage arrangement with Prince Zhong's Mansion. Now that the marriage arrangement has not been settled, I asked you to come to the Ministry of Works, which you are not very good at. Didn't we make a bad move?"

"As you said, all the former Prime Ministers had to serve in the six ministries. I entered earlier than others, which is not a bad thing. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry should be the most difficult to control. If I control the Ministry of Industry, do I have to worry about the other ministries?"

"you're right."

"What's the important thing you're talking about?"

Qin Huiyin told Tang Yichen about the situation of Prince Ning's Mansion and Li Congxiao.

If Song Ruize was here, he would have a lot of experience in this kind of thing. She went to Tang Yichen to hear what he had to say.

Tang Yichen listened to the whole process and said, "Since it happened before, the Li family had not yet helped the evildoers at that time. As long as we make arrangements well, it should be easy to get rid of it. However, there is another possibility..."

"What?" Qin Huiyin said.

"Every time a family is confiscated, the national treasury will be filled a lot. The Li family has enough money to fill at least two national treasuries." Tang Yichen said calmly, "The higher-ups may not be willing for the Li family to withdraw."
