Chapter 53: Harvesting People's Hearts {Collect}

Regarding Zuo Chen's arrangement, Zhang Kang did not show any reluctance, and was faintly proud in his heart. Childe entrusts such an important matter to himself, which is his recognition and trust in himself. Thinking like this, I don't even feel how hard the long journey is.

After breakfast, Zuo Chen and Zhang Youcai were accompanied by the steward Wang Ping to the shop that was already optimistic.

On the road, Zuo Chen slandered that the feudal system military attachΓ© was not allowed to have a sedan chair in the palace, and he would have to show up with him. I don't know how many grades my second-class title is, and whether I can have my own sedan chair.

The shops, not far from the inn where you came to Kyoto, are next to a restaurant, all of which are two-story wooden frame structures, and the area is less than half the size of the restaurant. For some reason, the restaurant that has just been renovated is in a hurry to cash out.

The landlord is a middle-aged man, with a thin figure and a slightly wrinkled face and slightly tired eyes.

"With such a good store, why does the owner have to cash in before it opens?" Zhang Youcai looked up and down, frowned and asked.

"You don't know anything about this brother. I used to be a businessman from Zhejiang, and I met a Kyoto merchant by chance, and I came to Kyoto to cooperate with him after some thought at his suggestion. I thought that relying on his roots in Kyoto and my many years of relationship in Zhezhou, I was ready to start a career. Unexpectedly, the Kyoto businessman turned out to be a trick ...... deceit. The landlord said with a sad face, and it could be seen that he was devastated.

"So, you spent money to buy the shop, and then the decoration was finished, and you couldn't find a partner, right?" Zuo Chen smiled and said, "Before, how much silver did I borrow from you?" ”

"All the rest of your savings, thirty thousand taels of silver." The landlord said casually, and suddenly asked vigilantly, "How do you know ......?" ”

Wang Ping and Zhang Youcai were also confused, which was a bit exaggerated, as if Zuo Chen had experienced it himself.

"Don't doubt me, I've only been here for three days, and I don't know your partner. If you want to recover your lost silver, I suggest you don't rush to sell this shop. "Zuo Chen, in fact, he has other plans. Getting acquainted with a businessman who has some foundation in the local area should be of great help to him, and anyone will do the icing on the cake.

The landlord pondered, carefully examining the half-grown child in front of him, and if he wanted to lie to himself, there was no silver worth defrauding except for this shop.

"......, can you hear your opinion?" The landlord asked with a settled mind.

"Let's take a look at your deed first, okay?" Zuo Chen did not answer the landlord's question.

Looking at the deed in his hand, Zuo Chen smiled and said, "Heh! It's my family! Liu Chengxuan. He handed the deed to the landlord and said, "Shop, I can continue to look for it." I will give you 10,000 taels of silver here to maintain it first, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the liar will come back when he sees that your silver has not been cheated. If a liar gets into your hands and still can't get the money back, you deserve to be unlucky, don't you? ”

Liu Chengxuan deeply suppressed the excitement in his heart, and calmly analyzed Zuo Chen's words, except for the other party getting 10,000 taels of silver, the other party had no interests to touch. If you don't trust yourself very much, then the other person has absolute confidence.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengxuan said: "This son, we met for the first time, and we should be grateful for your heart." As the old saying goes, if you don't have merit, you won't be punished, and you should ask your son to make it clear. ”

Wang Ping looked at the landlord like a fool. Childe pity you kindly for your sake, you are still so restrained, you are really too cautious, why are you not so cautious when you are deceived? was just about to speak to express his dissatisfaction in his heart, but Zhang Youcai stretched out his hand to stop him.

Looking at the family in front of him with interest, Zuo Chen said solemnly: "It's a bit far-fetched to say that the reason for this family is a bit far-fetched. I'll be blunt, I'm also in business and need the help of like-minded people. My silver is not blowing in the wind, you are not afraid of running away with the silver, Zhejiang Inspector Yu Xianmin is my own uncle, I believe it is not difficult to find you. As long as you are loose in your hands, you can go to General Liu's Mansion and return it to the steward. That is the steward Wang Ping. As he spoke, he pointed at Wang Ping.

I couldn't accept such a shocking force for a while. Liu Chengxuan was stunned, and his heart turned over and he couldn't calm down. When will ordinary people come into contact with the top forces at will? Reaching out and secretly pinching his thigh, the pain telling him it wasn't a dream.

Zuo Chen was not in a hurry, looking at the decoration of the shop casually, waiting for Liu Chengxuan to digest the words that shocked him. Zuo Chen knew that a businessman who valued silver as more important than his own body would not easily give up this rare opportunity.

Laughing awkwardly, Liu Chengxuan couldn't find the words to speak for a while.

Zuo Chen looked at his expression, naturally understood his embarrassment, and said, "Uncle Liu, how are you thinking about it, is it not enough to lend you 10,000 taels of silver?" ”

Wang Ping and Zhang Youcai also understood Zuo Chen's thoughts, and in order to avoid suspicion of catching ducks on the shelves, neither of them spoke, but just laughed with Zuo Chen's teasing words.

The businessman has been dealing with people of three religions and nine streams for many years, how could he not understand that Zuo Chen gave him the steps, so Liu Chengxuan said: "Thank you Liu Gongzi for your kindness, I am grateful." If the son sends something, the contemptible person should do his best to do it. After speaking, his knees were weak, and he was about to kneel down for Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen stretched out his hand to help, Liu Chengxuan couldn't kneel on the ground, and when he was puzzled by Zuo Chen's infinite strength, he heard Zuo Chen say with a smile: "I call you Uncle Liu, but you want to kneel for me, what is the reason?" Are you trying to torment me? ”

"Don't dare, that's not dare!" Liu Chengxuan grabbed his robe with his hand in embarrassment, and he didn't know what to do.

"It's all a family, and there's no need to be inhibited. Uncle Wang, just give me Uncle Liu 20,000 silver tickets, such a big store can't be without funds, right? Zuo Chen said chicly. In the eyes of everyone, it is full of indescribable majesty, although he can't hide his honorific title of uncle.

When they returned home, the three of them went to the inn for a turn, and the innkeeper recognized Zuo Chen.

Because he didn't know his identity, he took Zuo Chen's arm and said, "This son, how dare you hang out around here?" ”

Without waiting for Zuo Chen to speak, Zhang Youcai asked, "Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" ”

The shopkeeper pulled Zuo Chen to sit down, and beckoned Wang Ping and Zhang Youcai to sit down, then lowered his voice and said, "You still don't know? The son who was kicked and injured by you was not healed at home, and last night Lord Yin was knocked off his leg again, and the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion let out a word, it is estimated that it was a premeditated murder, and the yamen of the criminal department officially accepted the treatment, and it was characterized as an attack on the court officials. ”

Zuo Chen pretended to be very surprised and said, "Murdering a member of the imperial court is a capital crime!" ”

"Isn't it! The officials of the Yin Yamen have already begun to check the various inns, and I suggest you go out of the city quickly! Maybe, it was convicted of being mixed with the beating of Sun Gongzi, which was a capital crime to kill the head. The shopkeeper said, his eyes habitually glancing outward.

"Then thank you, old man. Don't bother you, we'll go back first. Zuo Chen stood up and saluted respectfully.

The old shopkeeper greeted and sent the three of them out of the inn, muttering, what a sensible child, how could he be mixed up with this kind of?

Before going out, Wang Ping heard the words of the old shopkeeper, and also knew that they had hurt Liu Gui, thinking that the five people did not return in the middle of the night last night, and they must have been implicated. His face was silent, his eyes were secretly looking at the two of them, but unfortunately, he looked at Zuo Chen, who turned back, and he didn't know what to say in embarrassment.

"Uncle Wang, do you have something to say?" Zuo Chen deliberately stopped and looked at Wang Ping with interest.

"Huh!? I want to ask Childe, do you want to continue to look for shops? Wang Ping could feel the hot flashes on his face, and his heart was jumping.

Zuo Chen pursed his lips slightly, pondered for a while and said, "Uncle Wang, you are a smart person. Things are pretty much the same as you think, and I don't need to hide anything from you, just want to do your job. What do you think about this ......? ”

Zuo Chen thought that it was impossible to completely conceal it under Wang Ping's eyes, so it was better to get straight to the point and make a decision.

Wang Ping's thoughts were racing, considering the pros and cons and the wording. After a long time, he was speechless, and said hesitantly: "Childe, this street is not very convenient, do you think you will go back to the house?" ”

"I don't have any special requirements for the people around me, just maintain a relatively high level of trust and tacit understanding, so you should understand it very well." Zuo Chen said, changing his more serious face just now, and smiled incomprehensibly.

"I understand, I understand!" The king calmed down and nodded in response.

Zuo Chen also nodded and said, "The matter of finding a shop, I still have to wait for you to find it slowly." It's almost dawn, go home. ”

Wang Ping, who had something on his mind, walked behind the two with his head down. Thinking that the days of being at ease in the General's Mansion will be gone forever. In addition to being lost and depressed, I began to miss the good days when I was still in the house three days ago, drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed.

The three of them didn't say anything all the way. Zuo Chen, who suddenly stopped in front of the General's Mansion and turned around, asked the two attendants: "It's been a few days since I came, I should go to Prince Qing's Mansion to meet the prince, the province is being picked on by the old man, isn't it?" As he spoke, he looked at the two of them with an inquiring gaze.

"Who knows what you think, this one after another, you are confused, and you are here to ask us for your opinion again?" Zhang Youcai felt dizzy by Zuo Chen, his thoughts couldn't keep up, he threw down a sentence angrily, walked to the house and ignored the two behind him.

Zuo Chen likes Zhang Youcai's personality very much, and he won't feel embarrassed, so he asked Wang Ping with a smile: "What Uncle Zhang said is quite reasonable, what do you say?" Uncle Wang. ”

"Childe, should it or shouldn't?" Wang Ping said in a tangled manner, looking at Zuo Chen with sly eyes. The heart said, who knows what twists and turns are stored in your little fox's heart!
