Chapter 46 Rob 1
"How many benefits did the Duke of Wen promise you?" Li Tian looked at the shopkeeper Zhao and asked in a flat voice, "Let you do such a thing to cheat the seller? The other day, I met the eldest princess of Ningguo in the royal palace of Dongyang County. The eldest princess asked me that Qianchunfang had a profit of 20,000 yuan in previous years, but why was it only 10,000 taels last year? I can't answer this, and you don't look at me. I don't dare to ask you this, so I will ask you for the eldest princess. You can answer your new master's words.
Shopkeeper Zhao's face turned from red to white and gray. He stared straight at Li Tian and subconsciously clenched his fists. Li Tian looked at him sympathetically: "Just to make this 10,000 taels of silver into a mess? I can confuse you. Your new owner can't allow you to be confused with half of her money. The eldest princess is not without a shop. Is her shopkeeper easy or difficult to do? Don't you know? Or I'm wrong. Is Manager Zhao going to take this ten thousand silver back to his hometown for retirement? Li Tian laughed softly: "Then the eldest princess has to nod her head. What about 10,000 silver? The slender lady that Wen Guogong misses is worth exactly 10,000 now."
"The owner is confused, isn't he? Why is he talking nonsense!" Mr. Zhao was fierce, and Mr. Wang straightened up and scolded, "Are you talking to your employer?! Can't tell the difference between superiors and inferiors?!" Manager Zhao's neck was about to be blocked back. Li Tian raised his hand to stop him and said, "Since he devoted himself to the Duke of Wen, I can't talk about this guest master."
Shopkeeper Wang stared at Shopkeeper Zhao and hummed heavily. Li Tian looked at Shopkeeper Zhao with a purple face and said, "I understand Wen Guogong Mansion and your plan. Do you also understand?" Li Tian turned her head and looked at the other four shopkeepers and asked, the four shopkeepers were uneven or 'yes' or 'uh-huh'. Li Tian didn't pay much attention to it. She only looked at the shopkeeper Zhao and smiled and said, "Qianchunfang can't keep you anymore. Manager Wang can't send me a message for me. From now on, don't allow the shopkeeper Zhao to step into Qianchunfang. As for the 10,000 silver, you can bring Go back to retirement. Grandma has always been generous with the shopkeeper and the staff. I can't let her reputation be down.
"You?!" Manager Zhao stood up, and the development of the matter was completely out of his imagination: "Without the introduction, you can watch Qianchunfang and see it rotten!"
"I said, I'd rather burn it." Li Tian smiled leisurely and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, walk slowly. Shopkeeper Sun sent me a gift to Shopkeeper Zhao." Manager Sun quickly stood up and raised his hand to signal to Manager Zhao. Manager Zhao stared at Li Tian fiercely and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that chickens can't touch stones." After saying that, he raised his head and hummed, dusted his clothes and shook his hands away.
Li Tian exhaled softly and turned her head to look at the other four shopkeepers and said, "There are few noble people in the world who are as good/good-tempered as me, and they have messed up..." Li Tian laughed softly: "I've heard a lot about this kind of thing. Alas, there are not many easy-to-talking owners like grandma and me."
With that, Li Tian stood up and motioned Cao's fourth daughter-in-law to wear a cap. While looking at the shopkeeper Wang and ordered, "If they want to be lively, we also want to be lively, the more lively the better."
"Yes!" The shopkeeper Wang quickly stood up and agreed respectfully. The other four shopkeepers also hurriedly stood up and watched the shopkeeper Wang respectfully lead Li Tian out to send him out. Look at me, I see you, standing tacitly waiting for the shopkeeper Wang to come back and speak.
Li Tian returned to Qingtongyuan. Yue Niang came in, waved her hand to send away Yingluo and others. She looked at Li Tian and said, "Just let go of that Zhao? He is too cheap! He is different from Huang. Huang escaped from the battle. He stabbed him in the back! I don't think I can take advantage of him. Kill him!"
"If the shopkeeper Zhao has something long and two short, a well-sighted person will know at a glance that it is either under the hands of the Duke of Wen or our hands. Don't underestimate the Beijing government office. There are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in it, and you may not be able to find out who did it," Li Tian held the cup in his hands and looked out of the window for a while before he continued. :"Now the eldest prince must come to the governor in the middle of the month of the month. I always feel that this famous prince who is nothing but virtuous is not simple. Besides, we can only show weakness now. What we ask for is the pity and sympathy of others. If such a thing as killing the shopkeeper Zhao is born, it will not be worth the loss."
"It's really cheap for him." Yue Niang said regretfully,
"Don't worry, he may not live a good life." Li Tian tilted her head and thought about it again, and then ordered, "You go to Sun Liu and let him keep an eye on the shopkeeper Zhao these days. In case something goes wrong, we can't be framed."
"Okay, I'll go." Yue Niang stood up and raised the curtain and went out. Li Tian tilted on the kang and looked at the flowers outside the window.
The post celebrating the merger of Qingfenglou and Qianchunfang was sent to the eldest princess of Ningguo. The eldest princess of Ningguo read it several times and couldn't believe what she said. She urgently sent three or four groups of people out to inquire. When she was sure, she only felt that her throat was sweet and did not come up in one breath and almost fainted.
Duke Wu Chenglin and stewmer Dai followed her mother-in-law and rushed to the eldest princess of Ningguo to go to the room. The eldest princess of Ningguo drank a few sips of Suhexiang wine and had already recovered. As soon as she saw stewor Dai entering the door, she pointed to him and scolded, "Useless bastard! You don't know such a big thing! What's the use of raising your waste? Come on, drag me down and kill me!"
steward Dai trembled into a ball of fear, threw himself on the ground and kowtowed. Wu Chenglin stepped aside a few steps to avoid the swearing of the eldest princess of Ningguo. He glanced at the frightened Dai steward and pleaded, "It's not all his fault. I think it's all Zhao who made trouble in the middle. Yesterday, the Zhao didn't say, Was it the little lady of the Li family who insisted on gambling? Or catch Zhao back and beat him to relieve his anger.
The eldest princess of Ningguo raised her hand to stop the strong woman who was about to drag the stewman down, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. She raised her hand and said, "Get up first!" The stewor got up in a hurry, with the soles of his feet weak and trembling all over. He stood beside him. The eldest princess of Ningguo fiercely bit him and asked, "Try to me what's going on? Why did Qingfeng Tower take over Qianchunfang?
"Niang, I don't think it's a big deal," Wu Chenglin said lightly and carelessly, "That Qingfeng Tower is the property of the Huang family. The Huang family is like a dog in front of Lao Wu. A Niang called Lao Wu over and told him that Qianchunfang is not ours."
"You are confused!" Princess Ningguo had an angry headache and chest tightness: "Qingfeng Tower clearly and clearly knows that the introduction of Qianchunfang is taken by us. How shrewd people in Huangjingjie can't guess our plan? He dares to take over Qianchunfang, which he knows!"
"This yellow festival is really not a thing!" Wu Chenglin said in a hurry and indignantly, "Isn't this the intention to make your mother ugly? Why don't you go to the palace to find an official to say this and let the official comment on this. Princess Ningguo looked at her son disappointed and sadly. After a long time, she took a deep breath and looked at her son coldly and said coldly, "What do you say to the officials? Saying that we wanted to calculate the property of the orphan girl and were robbed by the Qingfeng Tower halfway?
Wu Chenglin was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to answer. The eldest princess of Ningguo raised her hand and patted her chest, coughed a few times and ordered, "You can go there now to find the fifth brother and tell him that we have received this year's song introduction of Qianchunfang and are waiting to take over Qianchunfang's wine. The Huang family intercepted Qianchunfang, which makes us no way out of life. Just tell him like this! I think he can pull down this face and say 'no'!"
"Mom, say this... Do you really think it's good? OK, I'll go if you think it's good. Don't be angry. My son has written it down. Don't worry!" Wu Chenglin refused with a toothache. Seeing that the eldest princess of Ningguo was about to be angry, he hurriedly agreed, waved to call the stew manager and retreated together.
When the two came out, Duke Wu Chenglin of Wen shook the folding fan impatiently. He also pointed to Miss Xian, who drew silver from Qianchunfang, and agreed with Yao's mother. Seeing that the silver he got it flew away! But he went to find the fifth prince Qin Yu to ask for Qianchunfang, and he didn't want to go to this matter. That fifth brother is not a good thing! Thinking about the times when he bumped his head with the fifth prince in the past two years, he flashed a layer of fear in his heart, hesitated and retreated more strongly under his feet.
"Grandpa, where shall we find the fifth master?" Steward Dai suffered setbacks and was frightened just now. With a layer of hidden panic on his face, he bowed his body flatteringly and asked in a very low voice. Wu Chenglin closed the folding fan, twisted his eyebrows and twisted his beard for a long time before saying, "I'm still in the palace this morning. Where can I find it?! Let's go and find the Zhao first. If it weren't for him, could we have folded the silver in? He has to explain this to his master. I heard that he has made a lot of money from Qianchunfang. Go find him first and don't let him run away!"
"Yes!" The stewor Dai replied very simply. This was right in his arms. It was all Zhao's bad thing!
When Wu Chenglin broke into the house of shopkeeper Zhao with a group of captains and guards, shopkeeper Zhao was watching people pack their bags. Steward Dai commanded the guards, drove several servants and old servants of the shopkeeper Zhao to the corner of the yard, and followed Wu Chenglin into the upper room.
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the two with a pale face. Wu Chenglin put one hand behind him and shook the folding fan with one hand. He stood in the middle of the room and looked around with his head held high. First, he 'haha' and laughed a few times: "What, you coaxed the master. Are you ready to escape?"
"Where did the Duke start with this? Even if the little one has great courage, he doesn't dare to deceive the prince. As soon as the shopkeeper Zhao was wrong and hurriedly bowed with a smile. Early this morning, when he heard that Qingfeng Building took over the Qianchunfang, he knew that he was afraid that the two sides would not get well. The merger of the two families must have been planned for a long time. Thinking about Li Tian's words that day, he only felt cold. After thinking about it for a moment, he hurriedly asked people to clean up. Li wanted to go back to the countryside to avoid disaster, but he didn't expect Duke Wen to come so quickly.
