Chapter 13: The Hidden Pavilion

Zhong Qingchi has so many private businesses in Chujing, although he can't be called the first person in Chujing, but there are a lot of them, so Luo Gong and Yushi ran from morning to afternoon, but they didn't get anything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After letting Zhong Xiaoli go back to the princess's mansion alone, the two led the horses and walked on the streets.

Passing by a tavern, Luo Gong stopped and said:

"Go in and have a drink with this seat."

Yu Shi frowned slightly and said, "I don't drink alcohol." ”

The shopkeeper in the tavern had great eyesight, and when he saw Luo Gong and Yu Shi stop and stand in the tavern, he immediately went out of the tavern to the outside of the gate, greeted Luo Gong with a smile on his face, and took the stiff rope in Luo Gong's hand, and finally came to take the stiff rope in Yu Shi's hand.

Although Yu Shi said that she would not drink, Luo Gong decided that as long as she was still wearing this flying suit and admiring the embroidered spring knife, she would only have to obey.

After handing over the stiff rope in his hand to the tavern shop Xiao Er, Yu Shi reluctantly followed Luo Gong into the tavern.

After sitting down, Luo Gong looked at the rather reluctant Yu Shi and said:

"You don't drink, that's why I said I was drinking with me."

Luo Gong called himself "I" and did not call himself "this seat" anymore, which was to relieve the sullenness in Yushi's heart of helplessness with personal friendship.

Yu Shi heard it, and also thought that every time she was a little reluctant or moved, he would use personal relations to trick her soft-heartedness, and couldn't help but snort in his heart, deciding that this time it would not be easy for him to do what he wanted!

The tavern is simple, there is not even a private room on the second floor, there are no guests in the lobby, and the upstairs and downstairs are very deserted.

Yu Shi couldn't understand it, although Luo Gong sometimes acted a little wantonly, but he always had his purpose, but she really couldn't see any mystery in this tavern.

Yu Shi said angrily: "My lord, it's still time to run errands, no matter what the adults want to do, the lowly job will do it, but it's just that the lowly job is also ventilated, so that the lowly job knows which play this is singing, and the lowly job is good to run in place, the adult said, isn't this the reason?" ”

One mouthful of adults, one mouthful of lowly duties, Luo Gong heard it, Yu Shi was still sulking, and couldn't help but follow her intentions:

"That's right, then I'll ask you, do you know who the owner of this tavern is?"

When Yu Shi heard that Luo Gong was finally going to talk about business, he couldn't help but sit up in an awkward posture, took a good look at the tavern lobby again, turned around and shook his head at Luo Gong and said:

"I don't know, I can't see it."

Luo Gong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that on weekdays, except for the Jinyi Guard Yamen and the Jade Mansion, you haven't been able to take advantage of the time when you have nothing to do to understand some things in Chu Jingli. ”

Yu Shi was unconvinced: "Where is it?" In addition to our opponents, the East and West Factories, the power of the crown prince and the second prince, the third prince and the neutral officials in the court, I also know very well! ”

Luo Gong sighed: "That only means that you don't know enough thoroughly, which is even worse!" ”

Luo Gong obviously had something to say, and the words in this must be related to the tavern where the two of them were at the moment, Yu Shi couldn't help but look at the tavern again, but after sweeping her eyes around, she still didn't find anything that could prove anything.

For Jin Yiwei, it is indeed a very bad thing to not understand the situation thoroughly and not be able to grasp the situation.

Luo Gong is two years older, and he entered the Jinyi Wei Yamen before Yu Shi, not to mention that Yu Shi is too much worse than Luo Gong now, and there are more than one or two people who are inferior in grade.

Thinking of this, even if the arrogance of Yu Shi as a princess in her previous life has been worn out in the past two years, there are still some left, and being poked by Luo Gong so ruthlessly at this moment suddenly made her only remaining arrogance swallow and swallow, and completely swallow it into her stomach to digest it.

Yu Shi changed his previous unhappiness in his heart, and asked Luo Gong sweetly with a smile on his face:

"Humble duties are not as wise as adults, please teach adults!"

Luo Gong coaxed the jade pick silently, and took it back, and said in a good mood:

"Don't look at this tavern, it's very simple, its owner is not small."

Yu Shi couldn't help leaning forward, leaning closer to Luo Gong, who was sitting opposite, against the edge of the table, and asked:

"Who?"

Luo Gong didn't sell it again this time, looked at the stairs leading to the second floor of the tavern and reminded:

"Go see what's down the stairs."

Hearing this, Yu Shi immediately got up and walked quickly to the side of the stairs.

The tavern staircase was built against the wall, and the staircase for going up and down was in the corner of the wall on the side of the table where Luo Gong and Yushi were sitting, and the back was built near the small door in the backyard of the tavern.

Yu Shi stood at the bottom of the staircase and looked carefully, at first he didn't find anything, it was a very ordinary staircase, and under the stairs was a very ordinary low wooden shelf, and there was a whole row of small wine jars on the wooden shelf, which didn't look special.

But Yu Shi thought that even if Luo Gong asked her to come and see, there must be something enough to prove the identity of the owner of this tavern.

Yu Shi slowly looked at it from the bottom to the top, and finally looked up and saw the answer that Luo Gong wanted to tell her.

For the sake of a celebration or a desire to make business prosperous, the staircase of the tavern was painted entirely in vermilion, and the pattern depicted on it was ...... Water Lines!

Yu Shi quickly walked back to the table where Luo Gong was and sat down, and said in a deliberately low voice:

"Attached to the horse!"

After Zhong Xiaoli took the two of them to see all the private businesses under Zhong Qingchi's name, whether it was a cloth village, a rice shop, or other industries, there were always more or less water lines on the counters in these private businesses.

The "Qing" or "Pool" in Zhongqingchi's name is full of water, so the water lines invisibly represent Zhongqingchi, but this tavern seems to have deliberately changed the water lines representing Zhongqingchi, no longer depicting on the important counters, but on the top of the back of the stairs.

Luo Gong nodded.

Yu Shi was surprised: "Then why didn't Zhong Xiaoli bring us to this tavern?" Did he deliberately hide it or did he ...... I don't know? ”

Luo Gong affirmed: "He doesn't know. ”

Zhong Xiaoli doesn't know?

If Zhong Xiaoli didn't know that there was such a tavern in Zhong Qingchi's private business, then it was Zhong Qingchi's deliberate concealment, and what was Zhong Qingchi's deliberate concealment for?

Yu Shi asked: "The adults have long known all of Zhong Qingchi's private business, and know about this tavern that Zhong Xiaoli doesn't know?" ”

Luo Gong said: "Well, these things have long been filed in the command department of this seat. ”

Hearing Luo Gong say this, Yu Shi felt very embarrassed:

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Luo Gong glanced at Yu Shi, who was beginning to introspect, and motioned for Yu Shi to pour the wine and said:

"The hundred households under your command are also a good seedling, it is your very powerful arm, but it is always not enough to have only one side of the arm, if there is a suitable candidate, you should choose another deputy thousand households, otherwise it is good to promote a trial hundred households."

After filling Luo Gong's empty wine glass respectfully, Yu Shi replied with a teachable and humble attitude, and then said:

"According to the various shopkeepers of all the private businesses of the attached Ma Ye, although all the monthly account books are handed over to the attached Ma Ye, and the accounts are also attached to the Ma Ye, but the monthly profits from the private industry are all handed over to Her Royal Highness the Princess...... Private money? ”
