Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 694 is not about having fun, but about tasting wine.

Bai Mingwei paused deliberately for a while, and under Qin Fengye's vicious gaze, she spoke slowly.

"Actually, this matter has not been done. I shouldn't say it at this time, but in order for me and all of you to avoid being wronged by the Grand Master, I have no choice but to confess to Your Majesty."

She bit the word "unjust" very hard.

After a pause, she continued: "These adults are not going to drink and have fun, but to test the wine."

"Test the wine?!" Qin Fengye sneered, "Bai Mingwei, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't find a better reason to get away with it!"

Bai Mingwei showed a helpless expression.

"Master Taishi, you didn't even listen to what the general said. You rushed to make a conclusion. After all, it's because Master Taishi has ulterior motives."

Qin Fengye's eyes were filled with anger: "Have you got ulterior motives?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Master Taishi has been busy convicting the general. Isn't this because of ulterior motives?"

Taifu Song Chengzhang was happy to add trouble to Qin Fengye.

At this time, he interrupted: "Grand Master Qin, this is your fault. Ordinary officials need solid evidence to review cases."

"Look at you, there is no evidence, and you don't allow others to argue. You are a grand master of a country, and you have become an official like this. Are you old and stupid?"

Qin Fengye gritted his teeth: "Old man, what does this have to do with you? Is it your turn to teach me how to do it?"

Song Chengzhang touched his eyebrows: "This is a sign of being annoyed and angry."

Qin Fengye stared at Song Chengzhang, his eyes bloodshot, as if he was about to pounce on a wild dog and bite him at any time.

Emperor Yuan Zhen saw this and said, "That's enough. Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Qin Fengye immediately put away his hatred and anger and responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing his rapid transformation, Song Chengzhang became accustomed to it.

Emperor Yuan Zhen said calmly: "Let's all be equal."

After Bai Ming stood up slightly, he continued: "Your Majesty, they are indeed testing the wine."

At this time, Shen Zi'an, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out of the crowd:

"Your Majesty, I can testify. I know the inside story of this matter. I just wanted to explain it, but the Grand Master did not give me a chance to explain it."

Yes, he did want to talk just now. Bai Mingwei came to him to discuss the matter a few days ago. Yesterday, he ordered someone to tell him that he had sent someone to test the wine today, but was interrupted by Qin Fengye.

Emperor Yuan Zhen's face seemed to be so heavy that water could drip from his eyes.

He has never made any secret of hating the Bai family.

Or rather, he couldn't hide it.

When he spoke, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Bai Mingwei, tell me carefully, what is going on?" Bai Mingwei explained seriously: "Reporting to your Majesty, Dongling's wine is well-known in the four countries. , but we have always only produced and sold our own products.”

"When I was in Yuecheng, during a great victory, I drank wine with other soldiers under different banners. I drank together and found that Beiyan's wine was strong and spicy."

"After questioning, I found out that in order to resist the severe cold, the people of Beiyan drink strong liquor to keep away the cold. The wine that the people of Beiyan drink is basically strong liquor."

"But Beiyan is not only cold, but also hot in summer, and warm and pleasant in spring and autumn."

"I am thinking that if Beiyan comes to discuss peace this time, I will provide the envoys with different types of wine to taste."

"Our Dongling wine is so delicious. If we can win the favor of the people of Beiyan and make business, it can also increase some income for our treasury. Why not do it?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials looked at Bai Mingwei in disbelief.

Taifu Song Chengzhang raised his eyebrows again and again, showing a smile.

This girl really didn't disappoint him.

Qin Fengye pointed at Bai Mingwei with trembling fingers and told Emperor Yuan Zhen:

"Your Majesty, this is all nonsense! It's a clever excuse! It's Bai Mingwei's excuse to get away with it. Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense!"

Shen Zian shook his sleeves: "Master Taishi, the general has communicated this matter with the Ministry of Revenue, and everyone can testify."

"Years of war have left the national treasury empty, and the Ministry of Revenue is now unable to get out any money. This is known to all. The general is looking for ways to make money for Dongling. This is a good thing!"

"I didn't expect that it would end up like this. Master Taishi has a lot of gold and silver in his house. If you have time, why not give some advice to the household department on how to make money."

"Even if the Grand Master is unwilling to share the secret of making a fortune, please don't block the Household Department's financial path."

Qin Fengye narrowed his eyes angrily:

"If this is true, why don't the officials in jail know about it? Why is it that only your household department knows about it?"

"In my opinion, this is simply a trick you came up with to help Bai Mingwei get away with it!"

Shangshu Hube looked helpless, but this time he did not explain.

This situation made Qin Fengye increasingly aggressive, while Bai Mingwei and Shen Zian couldn't argue.

At this time, Bai Mingwei continued: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the reason why this matter is hidden is because it has not been completed yet and it is inconvenient to make it public."

"Secondly, because there are too many private businessmen, I am worried that if the news is leaked, someone will come to steal the business."

"Furthermore, there are many officials involved in the wine industry in my family's private property, and I am worried that they will take a piece of the pie."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was speechless after hearing this.
