The two discussed again, and Zhu Xu had limited time, so he ended early.

Zhu Xu got into the carriage and shouted: "Hurry up, go back to the palace, otherwise the emperor's sister-in-law will really be in a hurry with me."

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he also hurriedly hit the horse. The empress is now pregnant and must not be offended.

The whole journey can be said to be fast, even after entering the palace, Zhu Xu trotted all the way back to the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he asked: "Time time time..."

Yao Qingqing recovered after such a period of time, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't worry, there is still enough time."

Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the recliner with a helpless expression on his face.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's bad, it's bad..."

Just as Zhu Xu was about to lie down, Cao Huachun ran in hurriedly with a look of shock on his face.

Suddenly Zhu Xu was startled, straightened his back and looked at him and said, "Wei Zhongxian got out of prison?"

Cao Huachun shook his head again and again, and said: "No, Your Highness, our workshop is surrounded by Shuntian Mansion."

Zhu Xu's expression was slightly relaxed, and he immediately frowned and said, "Shuntian Mansion?"

"Yes." Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu valued that workshop very much, and explained: "I heard that the major rice and grain merchants in the capital sued Shuntian Mansion. Shuntian Mansion didn't dare to mess around, they just surrounded the yard."

The last robbery by the imperial court focused on cash and valuables, but the rice and grain merchants escaped, with little loss of flour and rice.Now that Zhu Xu's workshop was sold to the capital at a low price, they naturally lost a lot and were very dissatisfied.

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth curled up slightly. He had expected this a long time ago. After thinking about it, he asked, "Last time, Jin Yiwei confiscated the things, what did you say later?"

Cao Wenzhao just walked in at this time, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "Your Highness, Jin Yiwei didn't say anything."

Zhu Xu was taken aback, and said, "Luo Yangxing, didn't you say anything?"

Cao Wenzhao shook his head and said, "No, but I heard that Jin Yiwei had a lot of trouble a while ago, it seems that Luo Yangxing was fighting for power with that Yang Zhe, and almost got into a fight in public."

Zhu Xu tapped the edge of the chair with his fingers, and then sneered and said, "I reckon, the Shuntian Mansion is just pretending, and the yard is not accessible to ordinary people. In this way, Xiao Cao, you inform Li Deyong that the business Do as usual, isn’t there a lot of people who haven’t been resettled yet? Give them something to do, let them bring sticks and escort the goods, if someone makes trouble, beat them to death, just don’t kill anyone, time, try to delay it, this It is also a living advertisement, letting our customers know our strength."

Seeing Zhu Xu's calm expression, Cao Huachun felt more relieved, and said, "It's Your Highness, I'll do it now."

As soon as Zhu Xu waved his hand, he was also tired all day, and he almost moaned: "Okay, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me if the sky doesn't fall."

But at this moment, in a restaurant outside the palace, a group of fat rich businessmen were toasting a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a bit of arrogance and indifference sitting in the center.

"Master Zhao, thanks to you this time, otherwise we don't know how much we would have lost."

"Yes, yes, Master Zhao, we respect you!"

"Thank you."

Zhao Han waved his hand slightly, with a reserved smile on his face, he said: "Everyone, as the Chancellor of Shuntian Mansion, it is my duty to maintain prices in the capital, you are welcome."

"Yep!"

A fat middle-aged man looked at Zhao Han and said eagerly: "Master Zhao, if you have time, you can go to my mansion some other day. I got a strange stone. I heard that Master Zhao likes it. Let's enjoy it together."

Zhao Han naturally understood the subtext of this admiration, and the more he smiled, he said: "Master Xiao, you don't get rewarded for nothing, you really embarrass me."

Xiao Yong is one of the largest noodle merchants in the capital, and he suffered a lot this time. He smiled more and looked at Zhao Han and said, "Master Zhao is joking, this workshop has no name and no name, and it has not been registered in Shuntian Mansion. If this What if the things they sell are harmful, they sell a lot these days."

Zhao Han understood Xiao Yong's meaning as soon as he heard it, the more he smiled, but he didn't speak.

The other one was a little thinner, with mouse eyes, and looked very shrewd. He held his wine glass and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, I heard that you like jade, and I happen to have one in my family. If you are free, I will give it to you to appreciate for a few days. "

Send it out, of course you won't want it back.

Zhao Han thought clearly, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you shopkeeper He, I will go there in person later, and ask them about their raw materials. If you are free, you can go with me."

"Of course that's good."

"That's right, let's follow the adults to see the majesty of the adults."

"That's right, Mr. Zhao, I'm relying on you today."

As soon as the flattery came, Zhao Han was half drunk before drinking the wine, and even said he didn't dare.

Naturally, a group of people would not let it go, flattery and wine rushed in.

Half drunk, Zhao Han stood up unsteadily, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, follow me and see how this profiteer deceives the people and disrupts the legitimate order at a low price!"

Xiao Yong and He Yunshan looked at each other calmly, pretending to be quite drunk, stood up to help Zhao Han and said, "Okay, let's go, let's not do anything else, just to see the majesty of Mr. Zhao!"

The others naturally agreed, they all wanted to share a piece of the cake. They had personally inspected the products produced by Zhu Xu's workshop. There were very few real noodles, and there were other things mixed in. After a special process, they didn't know what it was. , but since it can be eaten and the taste is not bad, especially at such a low cost, they are all in the same industry, so there is no reason why they don't want to grab it.

A group of people went downstairs reeking of alcohol, and immediately ran over like a servant, and said to Zhao Han, "My lord, Mr. Shen has already returned to the yamen, are you going back?"

"Master Fuyin?" Zhao Han smelled heavily of alcohol, but he did not lose his mind. After thinking for a while, he said, "Got it, I have one more thing to deal with here, and I'll go back after I finish."

The guard glanced at the people around him, and said sensiblely, "It's your lord."

"Go!" Zhao Han waved his hand, walked a few steps, and got on the sedan chair.

He Yunshan and Xiao Yong looked at each other, and they both got on the sedan chair with a hidden smile, and followed behind Zhao Han.

In the workshop, a group of people surrounded Li Deyong with worried expressions.They all knew that Li Deyong was working for a nobleman, but they didn't know who it was. When they saw the Shuntian Mansion surrounded the yard, they all looked apprehensive.

Only Li Deyong looked calm and sneered in his heart.This group of people really don't have a long memory, His Highness just stole their treasury not long ago, and now they dare to bully His Highness, they really don't know how to live or die!

Chapter 89

"Don't worry." Li Deyong stood up, waved his hands to the people around him and said, "It's nothing serious, what should I do, the goods are delivered! By the way, the sweet potatoes will be shipped soon, and the notice must be hidden." Well, don't let them find out."

Sweet potatoes and corn were introduced early in the morning, but they didn't pay much attention to them. Most of them were used as coarse grains for livestock, but if they found out, it might affect their business, especially the plan of His Royal Highness King Hui!

One of the men came out, he was in charge of the escort, looked at Li Deyong and said: "Yes, but the shopkeeper, what should we do if the Shuntian government officials want to stop us from going out, or check?"

Li Deyong showed a bit of ferocity on his face, and said: "Pick twenty strong men over here, and I will tell you to do whatever you want later, and do it!"

Everyone jumped in their hearts, but they didn't dare to offend him. After all, they were all refugees, so it would be nice if they didn't starve to death. Besides, Li Deyong not only gave them food, but also gave them work to support the family, even if it was necessary They are desperate, they have to fight even if they grit their teeth!

Zhao Han was sitting in the sedan chair, staggering, reeking of alcohol, flushed and unable to open his eyes, but somehow he still remembered the purpose of coming, so he tried to open his eyes to wake himself up.

"My lord is here." For Zhao Han, after a long, long time, the yamen servant who followed him opened the curtain and said in a low voice.

Zhao Han was quick-witted, opened his eyes, and said calmly with a majestic expression: "Okay, let someone knock on the door, and the officer will come soon."

"It's my lord, stop the sedan chair!" The yamen servant shouted, and after the sedan chair stopped, he ran to the door of the inconspicuous workshop.

The yamen servant knocked on the door, and at the same time shouted in a fake way: "Open the door, open the door, Lord Zhao of Shuntian Mansion is here, open the door quickly!"

Zhao Han got off the sedan chair, and He Yunshan and Xiao Yong also got out of the sedan chair one after another. They looked at Zhao Han from a distance, but didn't approach him.
