Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

The main business operated by Wen Dadong's family is the rice and grain shop.

If the Zhou family accounted for [-]% of the rice and grain shops in the Huguang area, then the Wen family accounted for [-]%.The remaining [-]% are scattered small merchants, who need to rely on the breath of Zhou and Wen to survive.

Moreover, the Wen family's business didn't stop at the border of Huguang. Relying on the in-law relationship with the Caoyun Ding family, the Wen family's rice and grain business has expanded to the north, and there are many Wen family businesses in Beizhili and even Wangjing City.

The situation of the other big bosses of the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce is similar to Wen Dadong's. Except for the business in the Huguang area, they all rely on other places.

This is also the reason why these big bosses are not too afraid of the Zhou family and dare to act on their own once their interests conflict.

Going to the government office today for an appointment, these big bosses are already ready to cut their flesh, and they are very conscious.

"After the grass people went back, they ordered the subordinates to re-count the grain stored in Huguang, and count five thousand shi of white rice." Wen Dadong's family is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and after realizing that this eunuch is not easy to mess with, his stature is also low After coming down, he said in a friendly voice: "These rice grains are used for disaster relief, and the grassroots dare not ask for prices. Nowadays, the white rice on the market costs two taels of silver for a stone, and Wen's rice shop only needs one tael or five taels of silver."

After speaking, he cautiously looked at Xue Shu's expression.

It's just that Xue Shu's face didn't move at all, and he couldn't see any clues, so he had to retreat nervously.

When the rest of the people saw that he had finished speaking, they also stepped forward and reported the amount and price of the inventory that could be taken out.Or charcoal, or cloth, or cotton, and so on, but they are all materials that are in short supply today.

After everyone finished speaking one by one, Xue Shu still didn't speak, and several people exchanged eyes with some anxiety, but in the end no one dared to speak again.

During the long silence, Xue Shu let out a soft snort, and his beast-like eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally settled on Wen Dadong's family: "As far as our family knows, Wen's family is located in Tongcheng County, Hanchuan County, and Huarong County. There are warehouses in more than ten states and counties, among which there are only [-] shi of white rice. As for the price of this grain..." His face became more and more sarcasm: "In the past, the price of white rice was only eight yuan to one tael per stone. Silver. Later, the disaster-stricken fields in various places reduced production, but it only rose to about one or two yuan. The most expensive new rice was only one or two or five yuan. It was not until the snow disaster in Huguang that grain merchants hoarded to drive up prices, and the price of grain soared to two. Two or even three taels of silver."

"The same is true for other charcoal and other things. If our family doesn't break it, will you really think our family is a fool?" There was no anger on his face, but his tone was extremely serious.An indescribable power exudes from the whole body.

"Is this the sincerity you all want to show our family?"

He easily exposed the grain stored in Wen's granary, and the rest of the people didn't know the truth, but Wen Dadong's face changed at that time.

The amount of stored rice was calculated overnight by his subordinates!

Wen Dadong's family felt turbulent and fearful, but they didn't dare to admit that they had lied about the number. They just searched for a reason and said: "This, this... It's not that the grassroots deliberately underreported the number, it's just the number of rice shops in Wen's various places. There are a lot of turnovers that still need to be stored. After accounting, only five thousand can be drawn out..."

His voice became weaker and weaker under Xue Shu's gaze.

Xue Shu snorted, didn't listen to his explanation and didn't bother to argue with him, looked back at the others and said: "Our family understands that the store needs to keep in stock, so as long as you have [-]% of the stock, as for the price, it will be discounted according to the quotation just now." Seventy percent counts."

[-]% off the price? !

Then wouldn't they only get [-]% of the original price? !

Several big bosses were stunned for a moment, and even more angry.

Zhu Dadong's family tried to win over: "Eunuch Xue, [-]% discount is too much. Our business looks big, but we still have so many people to support..."

"Yes, the imperial court wants to provide disaster relief, and we are willing to contribute, but [-]% of the time is really... Please, Eunuch Xue, be sympathetic!"

It was a matter of personal interests, and several big bosses couldn't care less about fear, and they all opened their mouths to fight for it.

Seeing Xue Shu's silence, Wen Dadong's family thought that everyone's resistance had played a role, and followed suit: "His Royal Highness loves the people like sons, and the victims of the disaster are 'sons'. Are we not 'sons' when we wait for merchants? Please also ask Mr. Everyone stay alive!"

They talked and talked furiously.

Xue Shu laughed abruptly, and stood up slowly.

He raised his hand slightly, and the attendants immediately held them down, kicked them on the knees, and forced them to kneel on the ground.

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly attack. These merchants who had been pampered and pampered for a long time were a little panicked. Wen Dadong's family tried to calm down and said: "Eunuch Xue, what is the meaning of this? I just had a disagreement with the price, and did not commit any crimes." Is it about Ke?"

Xue Shu walked up to him, looked down at him condescendingly, and said with great interest: "This is the first time our family meets someone who wants to reason with the factory guard."

Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, instead he was very cold and frightening.

"But since Mr. Wen asked, I'll tell you to be a fool." He raised his hand, and immediately a servant respectfully put the paper in his hand.

Xue Shu threw it in front of Wen Dadong's family: "This is newly discovered, Wen Dadong's family can take a closer look."

When several people heard him say "factory guard", their bodies trembled.They only knew that the eunuch was someone close to the prince, but they didn't know that he was actually from Dongchang.

Even though they were far away in Huguang, they had heard a lot about the appalling deeds of Dongchang.

Wen Dadong's originally straight waist bent a little unconsciously, shaking his hands to pick up the paper on the ground.After reading it at a glance, he was already shaking like a sieve, but he still said stubbornly: "There is no evidence, these are all slanderous words!"

Previously, the guards went to investigate these people, because of the rush of time, there was no time to dig deep, and they only found some superficial things, most of which were petty troubles or shady secrets. Play more of a deterrent role.

But Xue Shu didn't stop there. He asked the detectives to continue to follow the vines to investigate. Didn't they find out the life lawsuit?

This Wen Dadong's family committed adultery with his widowed sister-in-law, and was accidentally discovered by the servant girl.In order to cover up the crime, Wen Dadong's family strangled the maid to death.It was only after the person died that he discovered that this maid was from a good family.

According to the law of Dayan: if a servant is guilty, the parents and relatives of the parents, if the grandparents are beaten to death without suing the lawsuit, one hundred rods will be given; if the slaves are killed without guilt, the rods will be sixty years for one year, and the housekeepers will be released. Congliang. [1]

This punishment is not heavy, but if the deceased is a good citizen, the situation is different.The murderer shall pay for his life with his life and shall be punished by beheading.

"Slander?" Xue Shu knelt down in front of him, and said calmly, "Every criminal captured by our family in the past kept slandering and wronging them. Guess what happened to these people?"

Wen Dadong's family looked at him in fear, and gritted their teeth so that they didn't tremble so hard.

Xue Shu snorted, suddenly lost his patience, stood up and pulled out the saber from Fanyu's waist, and chopped it on Wenda's hand propped on the ground.

Three fingers were severed, blood spattered, Wen Dadong's family suddenly let out a cry like a pig being killed, and was held down by two guards, so they didn't roll all over the floor.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people trembled even more.

Xue Shu put the saber back into its sheath, and said casually, "Go, send the severed finger to the Wen family, and let the Wen family send someone who can be the master of the family to join them."

After disposing of Mr. Wen's family, he calmly glanced at the other people who were frightened like quails, and said in a slow voice: "His Royal Highness is kind, and he is very lenient in his actions. But our family has a quick temper, and we don't have time to deal with it. Only you two Count the number every day, and someone will hand it over to you at that time."

After speaking, someone dragged Wen Dadong's family who had passed out from the pain, and went out of the hall: "Wen Dadong has to go with our family, you can do what you want."

As soon as he left, those vicious and ferocious servants also left with hula la. If it weren't for the dark red pool of blood on the floor of the side hall, it would have been as if nothing had happened.

Several big bosses didn't dare to have any chances anymore, and hurried back home.

Fan Yi temporarily detained Wen Dadong's family in the government prison. His crimes were tried by the government itself, and Dongchang was not needed.Xue Shu personally went to find Jiang Zheng and Ying Hongxue.

After today's release, those big bosses probably will be honest, and they only need to find two reliable people to connect and arrange disaster relief supplies.

Ying Hongxue was on his own, and Jiang Zheng represented the Huguang government, so it was a good time to cooperate with each other.

After explaining to the two of them successively, Xue Shu was ready to go back.

Ying Hongxue looked at his back, hesitated for a moment, and called out to him.

Xue Shu looked back at her: "Sister, is there anything else?"

Ying Hongxue wanted to ask him what was going on with the crown prince.She has noticed something wrong between these two people since winter hunting.

She had heard people say that some royal children in the previous dynasty liked to play with pretty little eunuchs, although the crown prince didn't see that kind of person, and Xue Shu was not the pretty little eunuch who allowed himself to be bullied.But there must be something wrong between the two.

I just want to ask now, but I don't know where to start.

She sighed, and said after deliberation: "Iser will not serve people for long, you...you have to do more practical things for His Highness, and also leave a way out for yourself."

Xue Shu heard what she meant, raised his eyebrows, his expression became softer, and said, "I've written down my sister's words."

After parting with Ying Hongxue, Xue Shu returned to the East Courtyard of the Fuya.

He strode to the gate of the courtyard, and when he was about to enter, he stopped and hesitated.But it didn't take long after hesitating, and he quickly calmed down.

His Royal Highness already knew who he was.

He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and strode towards the main house.

Yin Chengyu still needed to recuperate, and there was no cold wind, so his servants brought his lunch to the house.When Xue Shu came back, the servants had just set out the hot meals.

Xue Shu sent the man away, seeing that Yin Chengyu was about to put on his clothes and stay on the bed, he quickly held him down: "I serve Your Highness for dinner."

"Gu is suffering from the wind and cold, but it's not that his hand is broken."

"The minister serves His Highness."

Yin Chengyu looked at him, saw the stubbornness in his eyes, and leaned back lazily: "Forget it, serve Gu a bowl of porridge."

Because he is still ill, the meals prepared in the kitchen are mainly light.Xue Shu filled a small bowl with shredded chicken porridge, picked up some vegetables, and sat by the couch to feed him.

Yin Chengyu didn't hold back, and asked Xue Shu to pick up whatever he wanted to eat.

He ate with the utmost elegance, which was quite pleasing to the eye.Xue Shu served him with a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and two side dishes.Seeing him shaking his head, he put down the bowl and took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Yin Chengyu let him serve with his face up, and asked again: "So you have nothing to say to Gu?"

Xue Shu avoided his gaze and said in a low voice: "The past cannot be pursued, I just want to cherish the present."

"What are you afraid of?" Yin Chengyu could see his evasion, he raised his hand and pinched his chin, turned his face back, looked straight at him, and repeated: "What are you afraid of?"

Xue Shu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Like a gourd with its mouth sawn off.

Yin Chengyu snorted coldly, originally he was a little displeased, but when he thought of the pain he inadvertently revealed, soft-heartedness prevailed in the end.

"I have lived alone for 28 years, and I have devoted myself to the country and society. I have never had any selfish intentions." He clamped Xue Shu's chin vigorously, leaned over, and got very close to him, speaking slowly and solemnly: "I won't kill you." , is the only selfishness I ever had."

Nine thousand years old, who has power over the government and the public, is the biggest variable.

Killing him can ensure the stability of the court and the stability of the country.

But even to the point of death, he couldn't be cruel.
