Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 881

"I don't know if he has any other opponent in the fight for the throne, but he will have many enemies when it comes to disaster relief. The reason why the previous relief supplies couldn't reach the hands of the victims was that the officials had misappropriated the supplies in order to line their own pockets. As the bureaucrats shield one another, there is almost no way to investigate thoroughly." Yun Shang looked at the account book in her hand and sighed, "That's really complicated."

"This time, in addition to delivering the relief materials, Xia Houjing also has a secret mission, which is to investigate and deal with the corruption. In this way, it is against the interests of those corrupt officials, so they will surely try their best to stop him. The interest chain among the corrupt officials is much complicated than we think. From the important court officials to the local officials, everyone involved in the invisible criminal network will naturally try to get rid of Xia Houjing. The mighty dragon is no match for the native serpent. Xia Houjing will definitely have a hard time." Yun Shang said with a smile.

Ning Qian also understood. She cupped her hands to Yun Shang and said, "Brilliant! His Highness's move is really brilliant."

Yun Shang smiled again, "Yes, I also learnt a lot."

The two of them laughed for a while before Ning Qian said, "I've already taken over Chunlai Brothel. The women there are not very good-looking and not young anymore. I only asked some better ones of them to stay, gave some money to the others and sent them away. Today I came here to borrow some people from master. We also have many brothels all over the state. I'm going to rename Chunlai Brothel as Mingfeng House and take the most popular courtesan from every of our brothels. But I have to borrow a drawing card for Mingfeng House from you, master. I know that master has chosen some outstanding girls from the brothels to give them special training.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at Ning Qian, "Yesterday, I was thinking about that all business people are crafty profiteers, and now you vividly explained the meaning of these words. It's not easy for a brothel to cultivate a hot number, but you want to take all the top numbers away. You've gone too far."

Ning Qian didn't show any shame on her face. She just smiled and said, "After all, the Jin City is the Imperial City where noble and powerful people coming and going. The information collected is much more important than that in other cities, so it should be like this."

"I'm fine. But I don't know whether or not the procuress in the brothels are willing. You need to persuade them yourself." Yun Shang chuckled, "After all, you are robbing their milch cow."

Ning Qian smiled, "Okay, as long as master agrees."

"When are you going to open for business?" Yun Shang asked with a smile.

Ning Qian thought for a while and said, "It depends on the girls. If everything is going well, it will be opening in a month."

Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Then we'll wait for your good news."

Ning Qian answered with a smile and changed the topic, "Your birthday is coming, right? Will His Highness celebrate it for you?" Yun Shang smiled and said, "The autumn imperial examination will be held the day after tomorrow. His Highness is busy with this matter, as well as the refugee thing. How dare I disturb him because of such a trifle?"

"How could Your Highness's birthday be a trifle? I saw that Qin Yi had sent out the invitation cards yesterday. By that time, I'll have to come here to bum meals off you." Ning Qian said smilingly.
