"It's the shopkeeper." The gatekeeper agreed and left in a hurry.

The same thing happened in that pawn shop.

Listening to the report from the assistant, Qiu Yuehou narrowed his eyes and sneered, "That's what he deserves. I'll see if he can exonerate the emperor this time."

The guy hesitated for a moment, and said, "Shopkeeper, are you going to the Yamen to keep an eye on it?"

Qiu Yuehou knew Wei Liangqing's activities clearly in his heart, but he still had to be cautious, and said, "Go, come back and tell me when it's over."

"It's the shopkeeper."

Those wealthy businessmen who let Wei Liangqing shut the door, or gave a small amount of money, also got the news.

In the lobby of Shuntian Mansion Yamen, a middle-aged man stared at Wei Liangqing fiercely, wishing to swallow his flesh alive, and laughed angrily: "Your surname Wei, you also have today. If you want to spit out the money I gave you earlier today, My surname is not Li!"

Wei Liangqing stood there with a gloomy and terrifying expression. This Li Fugui almost didn't call him grandpa before, so he didn't take anyone with him today. I didn't expect this thing to find a new backer, and he didn't pay attention to him, and even pulled him here. .

This is not what irritates him the most, but if the "Niangniang" finds out about this, will she think that he is not good at doing things, kick him aside, and let him fend for himself?

What he can entrust now is Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu, and hope that they will give him a hand because they belong to the same "mother".

Therefore, he kept his face sullen and didn't say a word.

There was no one in the lobby, but there were people talking non-stop in the back hall.

"What are you pulling me out for? Just sentence me directly."

"My lord, this matter is not easy to handle."

"Why can't it be done? Someone delivered a message?"

"That's not true. The problem lies with Wei Liangqing."

"Wei Liangqing, Wei Zhongxian is still in prison, can he still find the flowers?"

"My lord, the key is not with him. The key is with the emperor. The emperor just pardoned his crime not long ago. At this time, if you convict him, what will the emperor think? What's more, Li Fugui is just talking empty teeth. What evidence is there?" nothing."

"Then, reprimand and send him away?"

"It's feasible, and it must be handled impartially, so that no one has anything to say."

"Okay, I know what to do."

Chapter 57

"Is this the place Wei Liangqing chose?"

Zhu Xu got down from the carriage and looked at this unremarkable shop.

It is less than 500 meters away from Suzaku Street, with two floors above and below. It should have been a medicine shop before, but now it still smells like medicine.

"It is said that Ke Guang chose first."

Now there are only Zhu Xu and Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenzhao stepped forward and said beside Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu walked around a few steps, a little satisfied, and said with a smile: "Well, yes, let Ke Guang dig a secret room underneath first, and use it to store gold and silver at that time."

Cao Wenzhao looked at both sides, and said to Zhu Xu, "Your Highness, is it not safe to put the gold and silver here? Why don't you put it in the palace?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "At that time, I will use a magic trick to make everyone think that the gold and silver will be sent away."

"magic?"

Cao Wenzhao didn't know why, but he didn't ask again.

"Go, go to the workshop and have a look."

Zhu Xu got into the carriage again and said to Cao Wenzhao.

"Yes."

Cao Wenzhao looked around again to make sure that no one was following him, so he got into the carriage and drove towards the east of the city.

"Your Highness, make sure no one is following you."

When approaching the workshop, Cao Wenzhao turned his head and whispered to Zhu Xu who was in the carriage.

Zhu Xu nodded secretly, and at the same time felt a sense of urgency in his heart. If his identity is exposed, it will be very troublesome in the future. Many things need to be speeded up.

"Your Highness."

Li Deyong ran over, followed Zhu Xu with a friendly face, handed Maza, and helped him get out of the car.

The appearance of this workshop has not changed much.Ordinary, barren, inconspicuous.

"I heard that you have encountered a lot of trouble recently?"

Zhu Xu asked with his hands behind his back, looking around while walking.

Li Deyong's face was embarrassed, but he said helplessly: "Your Highness, we lowered the price too much. The original merchants have no business, and there is a commotion. Many people have sued the yamen. The yamen is not very happy, and they prefer the original merchants. .”

Zhu Xu nodded, and walked directly to the yard where the pasta was served, and saw people coming and going, the sound of bang bang bang bang was endless, the fragrance was rolling, and it was refreshing.Rows of long tables were full of people, all of whom were women. They glanced at Zhu Xu's arrival and then continued to work with their heads down.

Steamed buns and snacks, like an assembly line, are shipped out from another door.

Zhu Xu looked around, took a casual snack, tasted it, and said, "How many people are there now?"

"Your Highness, they are all refugees, about 200 of them."

Li Deyong said with some pride: "I personally found them outside the city, and set up a home for them here. However, children and men are more difficult to deal with, and the young ones are still trying to find a way."

Zhu Xu tasted it, the taste was sweet, and it was easy to preserve, which was very similar to his idea.He smiled and said: "Don't worry, after this incident, there will be a solution."

Li Deyong's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously: "Your Highness, what can I do?"

"The way." Zhu Xu rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "It's simple, you ask the original merchant to talk, we will give them [-]% of the price, and they will sell it for us, so that they don't need to produce, and there is no cost. Any excess profits are theirs, and we can ship them if necessary."

Li Deyong was stunned. Isn't that what he asked?

But he was indeed troubled, thought for a while, frowned and said: "Your Highness, will this work?"

Zhu Xu waved his hand, and said unquestionably: "If it doesn't work, you have to do it. You can send someone from each family to help. If they don't want to do it with us in the future, we have to build a channel ourselves."

"Channel?" Li Deyong opened his eyes wide, not understanding what this meant.

Zhu Xu glanced at Li Deyong and Cao Wenzhao, organized his language a little, and explained: "Simply put, it's a stall connected to each other. Now we can sell steamed buns, dim sum, and other things in the future. Spread out quickly with these stalls."

Li Deyong also suffered from these headaches in recent days. After listening to Zhu Xu's explanation, he was still skeptical, so he thought about it and didn't speak.
