Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Seeing that he was already thinking about it, Wei Ying leaned over and said softly: "I heard that there is a trading company called Hengyuanchang in Pingcheng. It was just an ordinary merchant at first, but it suddenly grew rapidly within a year, and the head of it was special. Mysterious. He wears a mask every time he goes out to do business. No one has seen his true face. My Wei family made a deal with him a few days ago. He actually sold the goods to me at three times the market price. This person I am afraid that I deliberately disrupt the market and disrupt Pingcheng. If this matter gets spread, no one will dare to do business in Pingcheng in the future."

"Is this happening?" Wang Jin blurted out and said in shock: "Heng Yuanchang has always behaved himself in Pingcheng. He has never failed to pay the taxes he should pay, but he is a true businessman."

Wei Ying took out the contract for purchasing cotton clothes from his pocket and handed it to Wang Jin: "See for yourself, sir, whether this price is much higher than the price on the market."

Wang Jin took the contract and frowned: "It's winter this year, so it's understandable that the cotton coat is expensive. It's just that the price is a bit high, but the business was agreed upon by both parties, so it's not illegal."

"But Mr. Wang, do you know who is the boss behind Heng Yuanchang?" Seeing that he was not moved, Wei Ying planned to persuade him in another way.

"This...the name registered in the mansion back then was Zhang Cheng." Wang Jin didn't understand what he meant, so he could only tell the truth.

"This man's surname is not Zhang, his surname is Su, and his name is Su Cheng. He is the second brother of the current Princess Jin's natal family. Your Excellency already knows that the only prince who can compete with the current Crown Prince is the Prince of Jin. However, the Crown Prince relies on the Wei family, and today's Crown Princess The emperor's eldest son is much more noble than the King of Jin in terms of status. Although the King of Jin holds military power, in the final analysis, the prince is the crown prince. Once the emperor, he was once the minister. Mr. Wang is now the county magistrate of Pingcheng, but if he changes his position, After sitting in that high position, whether you can be the magistrate of Pingcheng safely depends on how Mr. Wang makes his decision?" Wei Ying no longer concealed anything and said everything he wanted to say.

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, the expression on Wang Jin's face changed immediately. His thoughts were swirling in his heart, and the hand holding the wine glass began to tighten gradually. Wei Ying stopped talking, gave him another glass of wine, and said slowly: "Jin. Although the king is in the capital and seems to have no intention of fighting for power and profit, Su Cheng has squeezed the Wei family's business out of the capital, sold goods at high prices, disrupted the market, and made huge profits. Although he is not guilty of any serious crime, if you can help me today. Now that the Wei family has said this, I will definitely say a few more good words for you in front of the prince in the future, and by then, your son's future will naturally be limitless."

Before the food on the table lost its last warmth, Wang Jin looked at Wei Ying and said, "What should I do if I need to lower my rank?"

Wei Ying's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "On the grounds of disrupting the order of the Pingcheng market, Su Cheng will be arrested and imprisoned, and his illegal gains will be confiscated."

The wine glass in Wang Jin's hand fell off and clattered on the table. He said in a trembling voice, "He is the nephew of the Prime Minister and the brother-in-law of the King of Jin. If this matter spreads to the capital, the life of this official will be at risk!"

Wei Ying saw through his scruples and encouraged: "When the time comes, kill the person and throw him in the wilderness. When you report it, say it was the work of bandits. As for the manpower, I have my own arrangements, and I will give you the property." One portion will keep you worry-free for the rest of your life."

Wang Jin's heart was filled with turmoil. He had never done such a bold thing, but at this time Wei Ying told him everything, which meant that whether he agreed to it or not, the Wei family would have to do it. If he If he flatly refuses, I'm afraid he will end up like Su Cheng.

He asked tentatively: "I just want to be safe..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Ying's ice-like voice sounded: "Master Wang, you should think it through before answering me!"

Wang Jin clenched his hands. After a fierce battle between heaven and man, he opened his slightly closed eyes and said in a deep voice: "This matter is just based on your orders. It's just that the official has never had blood on his hands. The official only I’m responsible for arresting people, and I’ll leave the rest to you to deal with the aftermath.”

Wei Ying stood up, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Wang is indeed a man who knows current affairs and knows how to assess the situation. This matter has been decided."

On the evening of December 16, the tranquility of Pingcheng was broken. That night, Su Cheng's mansion living in Shenxiang was broken into by a large number of officers and soldiers.

Su Cheng calmly got up from the bed, dressed neatly, and walked to the courtyard. He saw two rows of officers and soldiers standing in the courtyard, led by Wang Jin, the magistrate of Pingcheng County.

Su Cheng smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Master Wang, why do you come to my humble residence so late?"

Wang Jin raised his eyes and said coldly: "Are you Su Cheng, the boss of Hengyuanchang?"

"Yes"

"Someone reported that you were driving up prices and maliciously disrupting the market. Today, I will personally summon you to the county government office and seal all your stores in Pingcheng. Do you have any objections?"

A surprised expression appeared on Su Cheng's face: "Master Wang, this price was agreed upon by both parties. You agree with me. What's more, I only sold to him and it did not cause price fluctuations in Pingcheng. How can this be considered maliciously disrupting the market?" Woolen cloth?"

Wang Jin said calmly: "If someone reports this, you have to go back to the Yamen and I will send someone to investigate."

Before Su Cheng could speak, the government servants around him forcibly kidnapped Su Cheng and took him away.

One person in the crowd left in a hurry, and soon arrived at the place where Wei Ying lived. The man stepped forward and whispered a few words in Wei Ying's ear.

Wei Ying smiled sinisterly: "This Wang Jin is a good man. Our people will go to Su Cheng's house tonight, search out the money, and bring it back to the capital first. I still have something to do. After the matter is settled, Go back to Beijing."

That night, after the officers and soldiers took Su Cheng away, thieves entered Su Cheng's house. The men were masked and extremely fierce. It was hard to save their lives, and the people were in mourning because they didn't know the truth.

Not long after Su Cheng was taken into the cell, Wei Ying went to the cell.

The empty cell was filled with a coldness that penetrated people's hearts. Su Cheng in the cell was sitting on the grass extremely calmly, his clothes not messy at all. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his eyes and looked at the guard camp intently, with a wave of emotion on his face. Not surprised.

"Su Cheng, the boss of Hengyuanchang, has always shown himself to others with a mask. Today, when we saw him, he turned out to be a heroic young man. I didn't expect that the one who opposed my Wei family would be such a clear-minded person!" Wei Ying said so clearly. The breeze was light, but the look he looked at Su Cheng seemed to be cannibalistic.

Su Cheng smiled slightly: "Business has always been a fight without blood. Now that the Wei family can't fight on the surface, are they thinking of using their power to suppress me?"
