Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 814 816 [The wind is high and the sky is on fire]

   "Don't, don't, I can't afford it, I can't afford it." Xiang Nan hurriedly supported Chen Pi and said, "It was Prince Jing who took care of Meng Qinghe, and I was just pushing the boat along."

"Xi Langzhong, you are too modest. It's not your advice, Prince Jing is so high, how could he notice Meng Qinghe, an ant-like character." Chen Pi smiled, "All the medicine merchants in Cangzhou are very grateful to you. We have established rules. , in the future, we will supply the medicinal materials of your Yixiaotang at cost price, and we will not earn you a penny."

   "Hey, don't, don't, I thank the folks for their love, but the money still has to be earned." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "I can't let your hard work be in vain."

   "Xi Langzhong, you are really a good person." Chen Pi was moved.

   "Boss Chen, Meng Qinghe is dead, what happened to his Guangjin Caiyao?" Defu asked curiously.

   "It was sealed up by the government." Chen Pi explained, "Meng Qinghe sold fake medicinal materials and was seized by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As soon as the news spread back to Cangzhou, the magistrate sent people to seal up the medicine store and searched Meng's house.

   It is said that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were copied, but it is estimated that they were all corrupted by the magistrate. The medicines in the Guangjin Caiyao shop were also sold out, and the money was probably taken by the magistrate. "

   "Bah, I didn't expect to take advantage of him in the end." Sai Xishi said angrily.

  The magistrate of Cangzhou is nicknamed [Prefect of One Sword], and kills everyone he sees. Meng Qinghe's dominance in Cangzhou City is mostly due to his support. Normally, Meng Qinghe often gave him money.

  But he didn't want Meng Qinghe to be unlucky. Not only did the magistrate have nothing to lose, but he also made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Really where to reason!

  Xiang Nan couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

  Corrupt officials like the prefect of Cangzhou serve as backers for profiteers and harm local people. As a result, not only was he not implicated, but he also made a fortune, what kind of worldly troubles!

  The Qing Dynasty will never end, and there is no reason for it!

   "Okay, let's not talk about this." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Madam, go and cook some good dishes, and I will have a few drinks with Boss Chen."

  …

   At the same time, Lu Zhongzheng was talking to the gangster leader on the ground in the capital.

   "This is the house. Burn it to me at night." He pointed to the house where Xiang Nan lived.

  Since you can't outsmart, you can only force it. Burning their whole family to death will naturally solve their troubles.

   "My lord, I don't dare to do that. This is an inner city, and the people who live in it are either rich or expensive, and the small ones are really unaffected." The boss shook his head quickly when he heard this.

   A local ruffian like him can bully ordinary people. Like those high-ranking officials, celebrities and gentry, they dare not provoke them. Otherwise, with just a post, he could be sent to prison, and he would not be able to get out even if he died.

  In the inner city of Yanjing, since the Qing soldiers entered the pass more than two hundred years ago, the ordinary people have been blasted out. Now they are either children of the Eight Banners, senior officials of the imperial court, or wealthy businessmen, in short, they are all people with reputation.

  No matter how arrogant he is, he can't afford to offend such people.

   "Don't worry, the people who live here don't have that much ability." Lu Zhong waved his hand and said, "I won't harm you."

"That's not okay, Mr. Lu, this water and fire are ruthless. Once the fire starts, it may be impossible. At that time, if it burns to other houses, we can't stand it." The boss shook his head and said, "Your money is too hot , I really dare not make money."

"Why are you such a waste, let you do something to push back." Lu Zhong glared at him and said, "I tell you, something happened, and there is Wang Taiyi watching. He is a celebrity in front of the queen mother, what trouble is there?" It’s not fair. If you push back again, I’ll clean you up first.”

   "Okay then." The boss couldn't help it when he heard that, after all, his arms couldn't be twisted.

  Although Lu Zhong is only a seventh-rank imperial physician and a petty official in the capital, he is not something he can offend.

   "But you have to give me some time, you have to choose a day with no wind. Otherwise, if you set fire on a windy day, the inner city may be burned down. No matter how powerful Wang Taiyi is, I'm afraid it won't be smooth." The leader said again.

   "Okay, but as soon as possible. It can't be delayed past the sixth day of November at the latest." Lu Zhong urged.

  The sixth day of November is the opening day of Yixiaotang, Food is Heaven, and Peide Medical School. He would never allow Xiang Nan to open the store.

   Once the chief figured it all together, there were only seven days left, so he couldn't help sucking his teeth.

  …

  In the next few days, Xiang Nan is preparing for the opening of the new store and marrying Sai Xishi.

  Although the preparations for these two things went smoothly, in fact, he has been playing a small drum in his heart.

  Because he knew that Wang Tianhe would not let him have such an easy time, and he might think of other tricks to harm him.

  Just like the last time Meng Qinghe was arrested and died of a sudden illness within one night, Xiang Nan knew that it must be Wang Tianhe's black hands.

  He will not sit back and watch him open the store and gain a firm foothold in the capital, he will definitely use another conspiracy.

  So these days, Xiang Nan has been cautious, living in seclusion. Even if he went out, he would bring Defu and Takako with him.

  In addition, when Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi went out to buy vegetables, they also gave birth to sons and Luzi followed them, fearing that something would happen.

  Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi always laughed at him because of this, saying that he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Just recruited a thief once, and it frightened him.

  …

  That night, at midnight, Xiang Nan came out to watch the night.

  He was still worried that Wang Tianhe would be bad for him and might send someone to harm him, so he got up two or three times every night. The front door and the back door are turned around, lest someone sneak in and silence them without knowing.

  As soon as I walked to the Dongkua courtyard, I heard someone talking outside the wall, "Brother, do you want to do it today?"

   "The wind is so strong, it seems that it can't be stopped." One person responded, "If you set fire now, it will burn the inner city."

   "But Master Lu doesn't have much time for us. The sixth day of November, there are only three days left." The man said again.

   "Then there is no way. Zuo can only earn him a hundred taels of silver, so he won't risk his life." The eldest brother responded.

   "Where is Master Lu?" The man asked worriedly.

   "Don't be afraid, the big deal is going to Jinmen to hide for a few days." The eldest brother said indifferently, "Mr. Yuan, who doesn't care about anything, has wanted to cooperate with me several times, so I don't have to worry about not being able to find food."

   "Yes, but no matter how it is, it is as big as the oil and water in the capital." The man laughed, "Let's try our best to do what Mr. Lu told us."

   "Yes." The eldest brother agreed, "Okay, the wind is so strong today, it seems that it can't stop. Let's withdraw first and come back tomorrow."

  Xiang Nan almost broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.

   Fortunately, I woke up tonight and heard their conversation. Otherwise, I really don't know how I died.

   "Lu Zhong, Lu Zhong, you are really cruel enough to send hooligans to set fire to the inner city. You are not afraid that the fire will spread and burn to Prince Jing's mansion." Xiang Nan gritted his teeth.

  He knew that Wang Tianhe and Lu Zhong wanted to harm him, but he didn't expect them to be so conscientious that they dared to set fire to the inner city.

   Fortunately, he has inadvertently discovered their conspiracy, and he can use his tricks to catch them.
