Cultivation Is Like This

   Chapter 15 Earn a Spread

  The gate of Weifu was closed, shutting Zhu Kui out.

  Wei Mao declined Zhu Kui's visit on the grounds that it was too late. The gifts on the carriage didn't even see Wei Mao's face, so he was dragged back the same way.

   "Big cousin, they are all relatives of their own family, why are you so indifferent, he is also a network of contacts."

   On the backyard road, Lubei curious road.

  Wei Mao's face was cold and warm, but he was not an ignorant person. His attitude towards Zhu Kui just now clearly avoided him and drove him away.

   "He is a distant relative of your sister Zhu, not my relative, nor is he your relative."

   Wei Mao first emphasized a sentence, and then said: "Zhu Kui's firm has cooperated with Dan Fang to provide a large number of raw materials for alchemy. You, Senior Sister Zhu, as Dan Fang's account book, have distant relatives, so you should avoid suspicion."

   Moreover, with your senior sister's confused mind, if you are approached by relatives, you will most likely fall into the pit.

   "So, he's pretty good, and his business is doing a lot."

   "His uncle is the prefect of Qi County."

  “…”

   is so realistic!

  Lu Bei rolled his eyes: "Big cousin, listening to Zhu Kui's name, his line should have given up power, how can there still be an uncle who is a high official?"

   "There are always exceptions to everything."

   Referring to Zhu Ting, the prefect, Wei Mao said with a little admiration: "It has nothing to do with their background. Even if some people give up their identity, they can still climb to a high position by their own abilities."

   "Since that's the case, big cousin, you shouldn't put your cold **** in other people's faces."

  Lu Bei worried about it and said, "Maybe he will say bad things in front of the prefect and give you small shoes."

   "No problem, I follow the command of the commander, and the relationship between the commander and the prefect is normal."

  “…”

   It turned out to be this kind of avoidance.

  …

   On the other side, on the leaving carriage, Zhu Kui's face was gloomy and uncertain.

   Wei Mao's refusal was not a tactful thing he expected, but Lu Bei's attitude made him a little unpredictable.

  Three months ago, he passed through the door of his uncle Zhu Ting and squeezed out the original Dan room supplier, and successfully sold the business.

   In just two months, he made a fortune by reducing the quality of raw materials.

   is not much, just earn a difference.

  Everyone who does business understands that the difference is to lose money and make a profit, which is equivalent to being busy.

   As for the impact of the decline in raw materials...

   In addition to the difficulty of refining high-quality medicinal pills, the rest has no effect.

  The medicinal pills produced by Dasheng Kuantanfang are not high-grade. They are mainly 'Qi Yundan' and 'Blood Boosting Dan'. Huangjizong keeps some of them as inventory, and the rest are sent to various places in Dongqi County.

  Because it is not a high-end pill, the users are mostly grassroots soldiers. For these people, as long as it is not a waste pill, it doesn’t matter if the essence is not high-quality.

  In the territory of Wuzhou and Zhou, all the firms surnamed Zhu did business in this way, and the rest of the firms without the surname Zhu would occasionally secretly reduce the quality of raw materials.

   It can’t be said that there are no profiteers and no businessmen, only profit is only profit, which is the case with all businessmen.

   They can, so can I, Zhu Kui earns this money with peace of mind.

   He is not a person who eats alone. If he has money, everyone earns it together. The alchemists who work in the alchemy room all receive his benefits. No one would gossip and gossip, and no one would be fed up. It was basically stable to take care of how the Zhu family did business.

  Unexpectedly, things were still revealed.

  A secret agent was parachuted into the Pill Room, and the Qiling Pill was continuously refined for a month, and each bottle was a finished product. According to Lin Bohai, the quality of the pieces is exactly the same, as if they were measured with a ruler.

   This is alchemy, who would be a normal person who would practise the Qiling Pill for a month in a row!

   This is clearly an experiment to collect evidence!

   At the beginning, Zhu Kui didn't care about the spies mentioned by Lin Bohai, and it was not until after some investigation and testing that he was surprised to find trouble.

   First of all, Lu Bei has a mysterious origin. He arrived at Dashengguan at night. In two days, he entered the Danfang through Zhu Yan's introduction.

  Zhu Yan also applied for the household registration during the period, and there are problems at first sight.

  Secondly, through Zhu Kui's eyeliner observation in the Danfang, Lu Bei went deep into Jianchuan and came to Dashengguan for a month. Every day, the Weifu and Danfang are on the line between two o'clock. There is no social interaction, no entertainment, not even a single walk.

   The most terrifying thing is that the alchemist in the alchemy room repeatedly mentioned Yunshuilou, and someone even made an invitation, but this guy did not act at all.

  Normal men are generally divided into two types: one is lecherous, and the other is very lecherous.

  If any man fails to do the above two points, it is enough to show that this man is not normal!

   On Zhu Yan's side, Zhu Kui has also been inquired, and he only said that Lu Bei was a distant relative of his own, and he would not speak any further questions.

   This month, Zhu Kui tea and rice were not fragrant. Just when the stock was exhausted and he was about to provide normal raw materials to the Danfang, Lu Bei suddenly left and went to the military camp overnight.

   This news was like a bolt from the blue for Zhu Kui, and then...

   There is no news behind.

   Calm down, Zhu Kui realized.

   Yes, his surname is Zhu, Zhu of Wu Zhou, and it is not a big deal to rebel and lose his head. If he is caught, he will not be severely punished. Lu Bei collects evidence and intimidates and persecutes him, but he just wants to take advantage of the opportunity.

   Sure enough, after squatting at the gate of Weifu for a few days, Lu Bei took the initiative to show up.

   What makes Zhu Kui puzzled is that everyone has tacit understanding and has seen each other face to face, why did they reject his gift?

   Too little?

   You didn't even look at it, why say less?

   Zhu Kui didn't understand. Considering the presence of Wei Mao, who held military power, he only wanted to take a piece of the pie, so he asked the driver to turn the car and came to the prefect Zhu Ting's house.

  …

   The Prefect's Mansion.

  The prefect Zhu Ting was about forty years old. The scribes dressed in a gentle manner and had a physique like Zhu Kui. They were all tall and majestic.

After Zhu Ting heard the cause of the incident, his hand holding the tea remained motionless, he took a sip of the hot tea, and said calmly, "I'll say hello to Lin Boxian over there, please accept the punishment and fill the gap, this matter. It's over."

  Lin Boxian is Huangjizong's steward at Dashengguan, and his cultivation is very high. Zhu Ting and him are good friends. In Qi County, Huangjizong can live in harmony with the government, which is closely related to the close personal relationship between the two.

   "Uncle, that spy and Wei Mao, how do they deal with it?" Zhu Kui asked cautiously.

   "You can't leave it alone. You go to the Wei House tomorrow morning to send an invitation, and tomorrow night you will entertain General Wei at the Mingyue Building with me. As for that spy..."

   Zhu Ting pondered for a moment: "Give him some benefits, so that he will not be busy in vain. If he is not greedy enough, tell Huang Jizong truthfully, cut the mess with a quick knife, and stop looking for bad luck."

   "Isn't my business gone?"

"hehe."

  Zhu Ting sneered when he heard the words, and slammed the teacup on the table: "Don't take small profits and give up big ones, you can do it again if the business is gone, but if you have a bad reputation, you will lose everything, you know?"

   "What the uncle taught is." Zhu Kui bowed his head for training, not daring to contradict.

   "By the way, is there any news from your elder brother?"

   "Not yet."

   Zhu Kui shook his head and added: "Count the time, it's time to come back these days."

   "Wait for him to come back and ask him to see me, I have something for him to deal with."

"I see."

   Zhu Kui nodded with a serious face, and without asking what he was dealing with, he got the invitation handwritten by Zhu Ting and hurriedly left the prefectural mansion.
