However, Yanmo's plan had failed this time.
Qi Haoran felt that he could not let his wife belittle his brother, so he tried his best to absolve him. "Those pirates often lie like this. Zijin is scheming, but he walks the right path. Naturally, he's no match against them when it comes to scheming."
Mu Yangling was still thinking about how to get Fan Zijin to interfere in the sea trade.
As long as Fan Zijin interfered in the sea trade, Qi Haoran would definitely not bear to see him suffer. At that time, not to mention eliminating the pirates, the coast would definitely be reopened. With more merchants coming and going, there would naturally be more bandits to suppress.
For the safety of their goods, not only would the merchants actively cooperate with the Imperial Court's policy of suppressing bandits, but they would also hire people to suppress bandits. This would make the fishermen along the coast safer as well as give them an additional source of income.
