"Is it really my brother's?" Ming Zhao frowned, copper mountain is a very important resource for the Great Shang Kingdom, copper is an important raw material for refining bronze, whether it is to make ritual weapons or weapons, it is inseparable from bronze. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Prince has a copper mine in his hands, which is too dangerous.

"The owner of the surface of this copper mine is a man named Guo Qing, but after a close investigation, we found that this Guo Qing is actually the godson of the prince's nurse. Moreover, his business was so large that he not only owned a mine, but also a bronze workshop specializing in the production of bronzes. ”

"What kind of bronze?"

"It's mainly some daily utensils such as dings and bottles, and in order to sell these bronzes, he also opened a shop in Yindu. ”

It sounds like a merchant who smelts, casts, and sells bronzes, "Even if he has a little relationship with the prince, it doesn't prove that the prince is the master behind it, right?"

Yu Heng smiled, "Since you don't believe it, why don't we go to Guo Qingkai's bronze shop and have a look?"

Ming Zhao nodded, and the three of them ate breakfast, and then walked to the Guo's Bronze Shop on West Street.

"Let's go to the tea shop opposite for a while and see the situation before going in!" Yu Heng didn't wait for the other two to express their opinions, so he took the lead into a small tea shop opposite, and chose a position by the window, just so that he could clearly see the people coming in and out of the bronze shop.

Ming Zhao saw that Yu Heng was playing tricks, so he didn't ask any more questions, and followed him into the tea shop. Wen Feichen was a little anxious, "How can we have time to drink tea now?

"What's the hurry? Not for a while. Yu Heng had already picked up the tea and took a sip leisurely.

Wen Feichen had to be patient, sat on the couch, and looked intently at the bronze shop opposite.

After a while, I saw a person hurrying into the bronze shop, but was soon beaten out by the guys inside.

", dare you come here if you don't have the money, and you don't pee on yourself, are you the one who uses this bronze?"

The man was not angry when he was beaten and scolded, but bent down and begged the man, "Please sell me one! I only need the smallest bottle, please!"

"No, our boss said, first, you don't have enough money, and second, people say hello, even if you give money, they can't sell it to you. ”

"Please have mercy on me, I finally got together this money, just to buy your things, you can be kind and sell one to me?"

Ming Zhao and Wen Feichen both looked at the farce opposite in surprise, "What is this for?

The guy who happened to come over to refill the tea said: "Another person who does not give up! This guy has spoken so clearly, and he is still desperately begging there, what's the use? It is better to take this money to eat and drink, so that he can be a full ghost!"

"Man, what do you mean by that? Why don't I understand?" Ming Zhao asked curiously, "It's just a purchase, why is it still related to life and death?"

The guy smiled and shook his head, "A few guests, you can't have anything to do with this bronze shop at first glance, and the little one is better to advise you not to inquire." It's better to stay away from them, lest you get into trouble!"

After the guy finished speaking, he turned around and left, Ming Zhao still didn't get an answer, he turned his head to look at Yu Heng again.

Yu Heng pouted at the person who was buying things opposite, "This person's name is Bai Xianji, he was originally the gatekeeper of the east gate of Qingtan City, a hundred miles away from Yindu, but because he was drunk one day, he mistakenly blocked a distant relative of Jin Muyuan, a big family in the city. The two had a quarrel, and Bai Xianji asked the soldiers guarding the city to arrest the relative, beat him, and locked him up for another day. Later, Jin Muyuan came to the door, and he hurriedly released the person and begged for mercy in various ways. ”

"It's a pity that this Jin Muyuan felt that Bai Xianji had damaged his face, so he sued the official of Qingtan City, and this Bai Xianji saw that his official position was not guaranteed, and he would be imprisoned. At this time, his son killed someone inexplicably, caused a lawsuit, and was about to be beheaded. ”

At this time, a kind person reminded him to raise money to buy a bronze in this bronze shop in Yindu, and then a noble person would come to help him. When Yu Heng said this, he shook his head with a regretful expression, "It's a pity, it seems that someone has taken a step ahead of him and has already cut off this road." ”

"Why do you have nobles to help you when you buy bronzes here?" Wen Feichen was at a loss when he heard this.

Ming Zhao somewhat understood, "Could it be that this bronze shop is ostensibly selling bronzes, but in fact it is a place to help officials accept bribes?"

Yu Heng nodded, "You're half right, this is indeed a place to accept bribes, but not to help officials, but to help your brother." ”

"Is it him?!"

"Yes, all the bronzes in it are clearly priced, if you want to settle your troubles, you have to buy bronzes of different prices, and then someone will come to help you solve your problems. Of course, this trouble mainly refers to the trouble in the official face. ”

"How can this be reasonable!" Ming Zhao said angrily, "Isn't this an abuse of public power for personal gain?"

Yu Heng smiled, "You're really interesting, as if it's the first time you've known about such a thing." And if I tell you anything else your brother has done, won't you be so angry that you're going to burn?"

"In addition to this, did he do anything hurtful?"

"Oh, that's a lot, such as secretly running a Qinglou in Yindu, going to a remote mountainous area to rob people's girls, forcing others to enter the Qinglou and sell themselves, and first sending people to pretend to be bandits on the road to rob, and then sending officials to suppress bandits and gain fame, and more!, by the way," Yu Heng smiled mysteriously, "Do you remember the manor I took you to last time?"

Ming Zhao nodded, and Yu Heng smiled: "Later, I went again, and it turned out that I found something amazing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It turns out that your brother likes men, and they are all teenage boys. It's all in the backyard of that manor, and your brother will go there when he's free. ”

"Huh?" Ming Zhao and Wen Feichen were dumbfounded when they heard the news, they couldn't imagine that the prince, who had always been brave and famous, would have such a hobby!

"No wonder! No wonder I heard that the prince doesn't like women, and there is only one princess so far. I heard that your father liked this very much. Wen Feichen thought of the news he had heard, "Your father once sent him more than ten stunning women to test him, and guess what?"

"How?"

"Hahaha...... He found a palace and offered them good food and drink, and said that this was given by his father, and he did not dare to blaspheme!"
