Prime Minister Wang was currently visiting the residence of Queen Xiao Lian, the two of them were sitting at a table and chair that was in the corner of the room.
"The prime minister came to see me, is it for military horses?" queen Xiao Lian asked as she sipped her tea. The Prime Minister sighed for a moment before replying.
"True, the Queen knows for herself that your useless sister has always served on military horses, but yesterday the King issued a decree that this matter has been delegated to the Second Prince, I was worried that he was using this to attack so I discussed with the Queen on this matter" the Prime Minister said. Queen Xiao Lian nodded then placed the glass on the table.
"If your sister is innocent, why are you afraid that the Second Prince is acting?" ask Queen Xiao Lian.
"The Queen also knows that this task is profitable, if not for the King who suddenly decided to increase the strength of the army of military horses should be enough" said the Prime Minister.
"Enough? If the King doesn't send Ren Zhi to check if there will be a 40% shortage of horses, do you know how angry the King is? good thing your brother's smart to say that the Treasury is guarding the military horses. Sued himself for the sale of the horse and he got away, but Prince Xiao Feng could not be tricked. Do you think the King ordered a new horse?" queen Xiao Lian said with a faint smile.
"He wants to take this opportunity to deal with you!" added Queen Xiao Lian. The Prime Minister was silent to the Queen's explanation that seemed reasonable.
"It's royal business, I can't help!"
"This queen is not just about fighting me, but us. The money that my sister corrupted 80% goes into the Third Prince's personal pocket, if my sister gets caught I'm worried that the Third Prince will be dragged!" the Prime Minister.
"Did the Prime Minister threaten me?" ask Queen Lian.
"I dare not, I am willing to share my joys and sorrows with the Queen and the Third Prince" the Prime Minister said, cupping his hands.
"Then what do you want?" ask Queen Lian.
"The military horse was smuggled in, we have to investigate!"
"Does the Prime Minister want to investigate to the fullest?"
"True and I hope the Queen will help me!" the Prime Minister. Queen Xiao Lian smiled faintly then said inwardly (Xiao Feng this time other than the horse matter, I will give you another gift until you are attacked from various directions. How did you deal with it this time? who told you to punish Jun'er the other day)
After a little discussion, the Prime Minister said he had returned to his residence and was already waiting for his younger brother at the residence.
"Sister is the Queen willing to help?"
"Of course, the trash you made must be me to finish it!" said Prime Minister a little bit.
"Brother I also did not expect that the King would inspect the military horse!" said Prime Minister Wang's younger brother.
"Seek your men immediately northwest of Youngzhou to buy a horse there with 10 gold coins, raise the price of the horse!"
"Son, isn't 10 gold coins too high, if you want to raise the price you would have to buy hundreds of horses it would cost you thousands of gold coins!"
"Keep how, haven't your profits over the past few years in the purchase of horses been more than enough to take care of it, now spend a little you've been hurt, you're more concerned with life or money?!" said the Prime Minister was upset, his sister just silently listened.

Elsewhere Xiao Jun visits his mother Queen Xiao Lian.
"Mother I know my fault" Xiao Jun said
"You fool can-can money buy horses you corruption, if today not given a lesson you will not remember it, bodyguard whip him 10 times" ordered Queen Xiao Lian.
"Good!"
The bodyguards quickly directly whipped Xiao Jun's back, the man did not resist or protest.
"It's enough, tonight as soon as northwest Youngzhou find old man Li, borrow 200 horses!"
"Good Mom!"

Meanwhile Chen Nian was at the Xiao Feng residence reporting something.
"I've been investigating Minister Wang's prime sister secretly, the horse purchase transaction involves a lot of things and I haven't found a clue yet!"
"Even if it gets corrupted it looks like he's going to pretend to make some deals, check out the traders!" said Xiao Feng
"Isn't this what I want, only in this way can we find evidence"
"I understand, and I just heard the news that the Third Prince is already off-limits and out of town he said he would take care of something!" said Chen Nian, Xiao Feng stroked his chin thinking of something.
"It seems that Xiao Jun is also involved in this matter, continue investigating the prime minister's sister!" xiao Feng's orders.
"Good!" said Chen Nian then cupped both hands and left the residence.

The military barracks northwest of Youngzhou.
"Master Li, the third prince wants to meet!" said a bodyguard to the middle-aged man who was reading the report.
"Send him in!"
"Good!"
Shortly after, Xiao Jun entered.
"Greet Uncle Li!" xiao Jun said as he cupped both hands. Old Man Li immediately got up from his chair.
"Jun'er why did you come here?" said old man Li
"Mother told me to borrow hundreds of horses from uncle"
"Borrowing horses? my horse isn't enough here and why would you borrow a horse?"
"This is a letter from mom, uncle will know after reading it" Xiao Jun said, then pulled out a piece of paper from behind his shirt. Old Man Li immediately accepted and read it.
"You wait here I'll have people count horses!" said old man Li while walking out of the room.
"Thank you uncle!"

Xiao Feng was bored in his residence finally decided to go to the central pavilion just for a walk. When he arrived at Sun Xie and Bai Hu.
"Young Master!"
"Bai Hu how is everyone?"
"It seems that still practicing in the cultivation room, even miss Feng upon his return from the trip yesterday has not come out yet!" bai Hu said. Xiao Feng smiled faintly.
"The girl is really working hard wanting to increase her strength" Xiao Feng murmured a glimpse of yesterday's shadow when the two in the village crossed his eyes.
"Why do I miss him, haha" Xiao Feng said inwardly. Xiao Feng then headed towards his room just checking the pavilion report for the past few days. Soon Sun Xie met Xiao Feng and gave him a piece of paper.
"Master, there's a message from elder brother Yuan Li!" said Sun Xie while giving the paper.
"When I gave him the jade he sent a message through the paper!" xiao Feng said then read Yuan Li's message.
"RAising the price to 10 gold coins for a military horse, this prime minister's sister seems to want to get in my way" Xiao Feng murmured.
"Master the price of a normal horse is usually 5 gold coins, this is raised to 10 gold coins would not we lose if we buy according to the king's request" said Sun Xie, he also knew this problem.
"While I'm using my money I still can't, I'm sure you'll suspect where it came from"
"then what should we do?"
"Just calm down I will send a message to Yuan Li and Ren Yun!"
"Well" said Sun Xie then he left the room.
