Ever since Cui Ming donated the food in Chang 'an to the imperial court for free, he had been expelled from the Cui family.
The family clan that came to Wannian County to look for Qin Yun was also the Cui family.
However, the head of the family had already become a skinny old man in his seventies.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think? If you're willing to give us the fine salt extraction technology, we promise to split the profits with you.”
This skinny old man was called Cui Qingshan.
The feeling he gave Qin Yun could only be described as cunning.
Qin Yun sat on a chair and said with a calm expression,""Cui Lao is too late. I've already sold the fine salt refining technology to the imperial court.”
"It's fine. It's the same even if you sell it to us now." Cui Qingshan smiled.”
For Cui Qingshan, as long as the fine salt refining technology was in the hands of his aristocratic family, he could resist the imperial court.
"I'm really sorry, but I promised the Imperial Court that I wouldn't sell it to a second person. Moreover, I'm also an official of the Imperial Court. If I sell it to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself to His Majesty.”
"So, Mr. Qin doesn't want to sell us the fine salt refining technology?”
Cui Qingshan's expression turned cold.
The previous patriarch of Chang 'an Fortress had been expelled from the family largely because of Qin Yun.
Therefore, he had long been dissatisfied with Qin Yun.
He would never come looking for Qin Yun.
"I'm not selling it. If there's nothing else, please leave!”
Qin Yun immediately ordered him to leave.
He did not have a good impression of these aristocratic families.
"Alright, since that's the case, then Lord Qin, take care of yourself.”
After Cui Qingshan left, Zhangsun Wanting walked in from outside.
During this period of time, she had been staying in Wannian County to help Qin Yun refine the fine salt.
" Qin Yun, these aristocratic families have always placed great importance on profits. If you refuse to sell them the fine salt refining technology, they will definitely take revenge on you.”
Qin Yun sneered." Revenge against me? That depends on whether they have the ability to do so.”
Not only did he have an army, but he also had many skills.
Therefore, no matter what methods these aristocratic families used, he was not afraid at all.
"Right, has the Imperial Court made any moves?”
Over the past few days, Qin Yun had been teaching his subordinates how to refine fine salt. Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the matters of the imperial government.
" My father is following His Majesty's orders to purchase and seize the salt mine," Zhangsun Wanting said." I heard that many of the aristocratic families who are officials in the court are impeaching my father to His Majesty.”
"Impeachment of your father?"
Qin Yun smiled.
He, the imperial censor, hadn't even made a move yet, and these guys had already begun to counterattack?
Qin Yun had expected Li Shimin to send Zhangsun Wuji to control the salt mines of the aristocratic families.
He knew that even if Li Shiming had the fine salt refining technology, he would still be able to refine the salt.
If he didn't control the salt mine, it would still be useless.
"Alright, don't worry about this matter. Go and rest!”
Qin Yun said with a smile.
"Alright."
Late at night.
The lights in Qin Yun's room quickly went out.
At this moment, several men in black with long sabers bypassed the patrolling servants and entered through the window.
After entering the room, they did not say anything and started hacking at the blanket on the bed.
However, they soon realized that there was no one on the bed.
"What happened? Where is he?"
"I'm here."
At that moment, Qin Yun smiled as he walked out from the corner of the closet.
Looking at his smile, it was as if he had long known that these men in black would come to kill him.
"Kid, so you're here.”
Upon seeing Qin Yun, a few men in black immediately rushed forward.
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, the door suddenly opened.
Zhangsun Wanting rushed in with a large group of guards.
" Qin Yun, you were right. He really will send people to assassinate you.”
Qin Yun said with a smile," Fine salt is a huge benefit to them. If they do not obtain the fine salt refining technology, they will not be able to defeat the imperial government.”
"So they could only assassinate me and steal the fine salt refining technology.”
"It's a pity that they won't be able to guess that you'll see through their plan.”
Zhangsun Wanting said with a smile. She was growing more and more impressed with Qin Yun's talent.
Not only did the other party have many tricks up his sleeve, but he could also guess that others were trying to assassinate him.
"Hmph, since you guessed it, I can only fight it out with you.”
One of the black-robed men brandished his saber when he heard that and charged at Qin Yun.
Just as Qin Yun was about to attack, Zhangsun Wanting suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of him, engaging the black-robed man in battle.
The other guards were also engaged in battle with the other black-robed men.
The guards in Qin Yun's manor were the Thousand Bull Guards that Li Shimin had deliberately sent to protect him. All of them were highly skilled in martial arts.
Soon, several men in black were killed.
"Leave him alive."
As Changsun Wanting was about to kill the last black-robed man, Qin Yun hurriedly stopped her.
The aristocratic families had sent people to kill him.
He couldn't just let it go.
"Qin Yun, why are you keeping him?”
" Have you forgotten what my identity is?" Qin Yun asked. Now that these aristocratic families have attacked me, I naturally have to report to His Majesty.”
"Yes, they impeached my father. You report their crimes and see how they explain it to His Majesty.”
Zhangsun Wanting instantly reacted.
"That's right, I'll bring him to the palace tomorrow to see the emperor and let him testify against the Cui family.”
As he spoke, Qin Yun flicked his finger as a silver needle shot out, piercing straight into the black-robed man's body.
Ah!
The man in black screamed and fainted on the ground.
Zhangsun Wanting's eyes widened when she saw this.
She was worried that Qin Yun would be injured by the assassin.
However, when she saw Qin Yun's silver needle technique, she could tell that he was an expert.
She had worried for nothing just now.
"Alright, go and rest. After I enter the palace tomorrow, I'll leave the refining of fine salt to you.”
"Yes, don't worry!" Zhangsun Wanting nodded.”
On the second day.
Qin Yun got a few guards to escort the black-robed man out of Wannian County.
At this moment, in Taiji Palace, several family heads had already entered the palace to meet Li Shiming.
Not only did they impeach Zhangsun Wuji, but they also wanted to sue Qin Yun for selling illegal salt.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhangsun has brought people to occupy our salt mine.”
" There's also Wannian County Duke Qin Yun. As an official of the imperial government, he actually sold illegal salt. According to the laws of the Great Tang, he should be severely punished.”
Cui Qingshan and the other Patriarchs cupped their hands at Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min's face was gloomy as he looked at them and said,"Lord Zhangsun isn't occupying your salt mine. He's following my orders to temporarily control your salt mine.”
"Moreover, these salt mines do not belong to your aristocratic families. They all belong to the Imperial Court, so they are not considered to have been seized.”
The salt mines controlled by the aristocratic families were basically handed over to them by the imperial court.
Li Shimin didn't think there was anything wrong with it in the early stages.
However, ever since he heard Qin Yun's opinion, he agreed with him. The aristocratic families were a hidden danger to the Great Tang that needed to be eliminated.
The way to get rid of them was to slowly reduce their interests.
