Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 253 Xu Wenjie's Preparation
Speaking back to the storyteller, he did not reveal whose story he was telling.

The plot was so detailed, as if he had experienced it himself, or heard what the person said, so Chen Yi felt that the storyteller was either the Heaven's Punishment Hero, or he had something to do with the Heaven's Punishment Hero.

As for the result, it depends on the result of Tang Qi's return.

Several people went back to rest after eating. Chen Yi was thinking about Tang Qi, so he didn't rest.

He had been waiting for Tang Qi in the room, and when there was a knock on the door, Chen Yi immediately opened the door, and sure enough it was Tang Qi outside.

Chen Yi asked Tang Qi to come in, pointed to the stool and asked him the result directly.

Tang Qi sat down and drank two cups of tea before speaking.

"My lord, that storyteller is very vigilant. He walks around the city. When he goes out, he enters the small alley. He is not afraid of being robbed. Fortunately, I follow closely, or I will be dumped. We finally arrived at his residence."

The suspicion in Chen Yi's heart is getting bigger and bigger, and he is also a little excited. Could it be that he is so lucky?

As soon as he came to Daoxiang City, he heard the news of Heaven's Punishment Hero. He thought that this task of his would have to wait until the end to complete it.

"He seemed to be the only one in his house. Before entering the door, the house was dark. I entered his yard and stayed under the window for a while. I found no one else, and there was nothing suspicious."

Chen Yi asked: "What did he do after he returned?"

Tang Qi thought for a while, and replied: "Nothing special, just washed up, went to the study, seemed to be writing something, and then fell asleep, I went in to read, and what he wrote was a storybook."

Chen Yi didn't say anything else, but just told Tang Qi to go back and rest.

At the same time, let him secretly follow the storyteller during their stay in Daoxiang City.

Although Tang Qi didn't know why Chen Yi was like this, she still agreed.

The next day, after Chen Yi packed up, he took Tang Lu to find Xu Wenjie, the grain merchant, who made a plaque for them when he left last time.

So when he came this time, he saw the plaque. He entered the store, and just found Xiaoer, the shopkeeper came out from inside. When he saw Chen Yi, he was stunned, and then excitedly greeted him.

"Master Chen Shilang, I didn't expect it to be you. You must be looking for our boss. The boss has been waiting for a long time."

This shopkeeper belonged to the shopkeeper who handed over his military salary to him before, so it was not surprising that he knew Chen Yi and was recognized.

Surprisingly, what the shopkeeper said, Xu Wenjie was waiting for him?

Chen Yi smiled pleasantly: "Please guide the shopkeeper, I didn't expect to revisit the old place so soon."

"Yeah, yeah, how long has passed, it seems like four or five months, here please, the master waited for the news from the imperial capital, or the lord came to escort the military pay, and knew that the lord will definitely come back to our Daoxiang City, so count the time Waiting for the adults."

The shopkeeper said as he walked, Chen Yi knew that Xu Wenjie knew he was back long before.

As expected, he was a smart man. Chen Yi followed the shopkeeper with a smile. The shopkeeper took Chen Yi to the backyard, served tea and snacks, and stayed with Chen Yi for a while when he heard Xu Wenjie's voice coming from outside.

"I've seen Mr. Servant."

The first thing Xu Wenjie did when he came in was to salute. Chen Yi immediately stood up and looked at Xu Wenjie in front of him with a smile.

It has changed a lot from before, and now I have a gloomy expression on my face, and now I have a confident face, and I am a little fatter, not as thin as before.

"It seems that Boss Xu is doing well!"

Xu Wenjie smiled and nodded, and the shopkeeper took the opportunity to retreat.

"My lord is here because of the military salary!"

Xu Wenjie didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and just spoke directly.

Chen Yi nodded, and looked at Xu Wenjie in surprise: "You are very well informed, why do you ask?"

Xu Wenjie sighed: "When Xuan Luoguo came to fight, we were caught off guard. We were all frightened and almost came here. Fortunately, General Zhang led his troops to block the enemy's army. Otherwise, our place will probably be ruined."

Chen Yi didn't say anything, Xu Wenjie continued.

"It's only now that I know that if the master used those methods last year, we might have been occupied this year. At that time, we didn't dare to contact General Zhang directly for fear of being regarded as the enemy's spies. Later, when we heard the news, the master came to help. rest assured."

Xu Wenjie said that he looked up at Chen Yi and smiled slightly.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I started stockpiling food after I heard the news, and the bosses of other shops also tried their best. Everyone thinks that this time, you can't embarrass your lord anymore. After all, the border soldiers eat well and are protecting us!"

Chen Yi looked at Xu Wenjie in surprise, what does this mean?
They started preparing food when they set off?

It seems like you still want to give it for free? !
"Boss Xu, what you mean by this is that you have already prepared the military salary, and you still want to pay it for nothing?"

Xu Wenjie is quite tall and a little shy here: "It's not free. After all, we are in business. What everyone means is that you can give as much as you have, and all the food will be given to you."

Chen Yi laughed. He didn't expect it to be like this. This is similar to giving away for nothing. They should know that the court will not give too much money, and he probably doesn't have much in his hand.

Chen Yi felt a little emotional, this Great Wu Kingdom is not completely hopeless, at least there are still people working hard like him.

"I accept Boss Xu's kindness, and I will tell His Majesty the truth, but this time, everyone will not be at a disadvantage. Last time, there was indeed no money. Although there is not much money now, it is still possible to keep you from doing loss-making business. "

Xu Wenjie didn't expect Chen Yi to say this. Although there was a loss of money in the matter of last year, businessmen from all over the place came to the door one after another when they saw the plaque bestowed by the Empress.

Compared with the previous business talks, it was much easier and more refreshing, and the smoothness was amazing.

So these four or five months have already made up for the previous deficit.

They will also lose money this time, but compared to their lives, these are nothing.

Unexpectedly, hearing what Chen Yi said this time, it seemed that there would be no loss. Xu Wenjie looked at Chen Yi's expression seriously, as if confirming something, Chen Yi nodded affirmatively.

"This is just right, and it can save me time. Don't worry, I will bring enough money this time and I won't let everyone suffer. But I still need some herbs. Can Boss Xu help me contact a reliable person."

Xu Wenjie immediately came back to his senses and nodded directly, indicating that this matter is on him.

Afterwards, Xu Wenjie called the shopkeeper and asked him to contact him to get things done.
