Chapter 431: Expanding Sales (1)
At night, Wang Zhutou also stayed in the cart of Tian Liang and others, and asked a few catchers to stand guard - β’ with β’ dream β’ small β’ said that Π©ΡΡΡlΔ He was determined to make friends with Tian Liang and Nalan. Who would climb if you don't climb such a big tree? Companionship is secondary, making friends is the focus. Tian Liang and Nalan did not refuse to make such a friend, and they felt that Wang Zhutou's character was still good. Although the ideological realm cannot be compared with himself, he still has a great sense of justice in the government service and fast hunting. For example, he sympathized with the girl named Xiaohuan. If it weren't for the banner that the magistrate is a parent official and can't bully the weak, this small ring would have been sent to Shentang by the old lady to "take the test first". It was her son who did the iniquity, but he laid the charge of seduction on the innocent. But he didn't tell the Xiaohuan family at all, so people would feel that they owed him a big favor, and they couldn't pay it back for the rest of their lives.
After Tian Liang and Nalan returned from Changping, they reported the specific situation of selling goods to the prince and proposed their own construction: to open a store that sells cloth heads.
"You two just make a fuss. Tell me how much silver you need, and I'll get it for you at Fujin. β
"Thank you for your trust."
The prince smiled, and patted everyone's shoulders twice: "Your burden will be very heavy in the future, this king is giving you a chance to experience." β
"Thank you for the cultivation." The two of them clasped their fists and saluted and went to find the shop.
The shops in the capital are not difficult to find, the problem is whether the location is suitable or not. To do business, you should choose a more prosperous and lively road section, so that the passenger flow will be large, there will be more people to buy things, and the profits will naturally be large.
In the Qing Dynasty, merchants rarely wrote the words "out" or "rent" or "sell" on the windows and doors of the shops, and they had to look from house to house. The two of them walked all morning and didn't meet a rental shop, so they ate wontons in a small wonton shop on the flyover, and then prepared to continue looking for them.
This should be the most prosperous and lively place in the capital, the two of them walked sweaty, thirsty in their mouths, and entered a teahouse called "Mingxiang" by the way, sat down in the window seat, even rested and cooled, and then drank tea and ate snacks.
At the table were two young people who looked like scholars, also drinking tea and chatting. Tian Liang and Nalan are both martial arts practitioners, and their ears are quite good. And they said, "...... Master Cheng has been an official for more than ten years and has always been honest and honest, how could he suddenly be confiscated? β
"I heard that Lord Goshi impeached him for having a treasure in his hands. In order to cover up the treasure, he gave all the precious jewelry to his married daughter and took it to her in-law's house. β
"Who did Brother Feng listen to?"
"What who said? Cheng's mother-in-law reported it, saying that her daughter-in-law's jewelry had never been seen before, whether it was style, workmanship, or materials, it was not available in the Qing Dynasty. But it was not confiscated at Cheng's house, it was all shown by her daughter's mother-in-law. So Cheng's daughter was also arrested and tortured in the prison of the Criminal Department with her family, and his daughter confessed after being tortured. Guess who's his daughter? β
"It's a lot less sold, and it's a lot to say it happily,"
"Don't worry, Master Cheng's daughter said that her jewelry was bought from a merchant, where is the treasure, an alloy hairpin only cost 200 Wen!"
"Yes, what treasures can the merchant have? By the way, you said alloy, isn't alloy a material that all gold has? It can't be that it only cost 200 wen! β
"So, the adults of the criminal department didn't believe it, and continued to torture, the result was that a housekeeper in the house of Lord Cheng hurriedly exonerated the young lady, she said, she first saw a merchant on the street, and there were particularly good-looking paper gourds, bracelets, necklaces, combs, hairpins and other things on the burden, just in time for the third lady to get married, and wanted to buy some more novel jewelry that the Qing Dynasty did not have, so she followed the merchant and followed him to his house to buy some more, which was not a rare treasure at all, and a comb only cost fifty yuan, How can such cheap jewelry be a treasure? It is clearly the mother-in-law of the third lady who makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law. Now, there are too many suspicious points in this case, and the trial will not be put aside for the time being, and the officials of the Criminal Department are looking for this merchant everywhere. The housekeeper said that she didn't know the merchant, and this is possible, but since she didn't know him, how could she find his house? The adults of the criminal department guessed that the third lady might have an affair with the merchant, and those jewelry were clearly given to her by the merchant's lover, and then the mother-in-law found out and took revenge on her daughter-in-law......"
The Nalan guards couldn't listen anymore, he knew this matter best, and he opened the door when nine girls came to his house to buy wedding jewelry. Unexpectedly, Master Cheng was actually convicted because of jewelry, and he couldn't remain silent! So he grabbed Tian Liang's wrist, pulled him out of the teahouse, and told Tian Liang about the general situation. Tian Liang said: "One is that Master Cheng has offended a certain big person, and the other is a fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. But no matter what, we can't say a word and let Lord Cheng be wronged. Hurry back to find the prince, and then the prince will explain the situation to the emperor. It's not a problem that can't be solved, right? β
"That's very good, let's hurry back home, little second brother, this is tea."
The two hurriedly returned to the house and arrived at Yiran Tower first, but the prince was not there, and Fujin said that he might be serving roses in the back garden. The two of them hurried to the garden again, and the garden was not there, Tian Liang guessed that the prince might be in the garden ice cellar or the greenhouse in Nanwai Mansion.
Nalan was so anxious that blue smoke was about to rise above his head, and this matter was likely to involve Donggui. Tian Liang comforted Nalan and said: "Don't be in a hurry, I don't think things are so bad, those so-called rare treasures were brought back by the three of us, and they are the best machines for making zuΓ² jewelry in other places, and the things made, no matter what material they are, are all shining." In fact, the price is not as expensive as the jewelry of the Qing Dynasty. Try to be calm when talking to the prince, and the prince will make it clear to the emperor. β
"I listen to you. Don't involve the prince. β
"It's not so strict, I'll accompany you to find the prince."
"Okay, with my eldest brother coming forward, Donggui will be fine, right?"
"You guy, have you learned to make fun of me?"
"Then who do you say is the eldest brother of the prince?"
"You guy."
Seeing the prince, Nalan told Master Cheng as calmly as possible, and Tian Liang supplemented him. The prince said: "Don't worry, you two, I took Liangzi into the palace and told the emperor that if you want to be implicated, the queen mother can't run, and Fujin also gave her a titanium hairpin." β
The prince changed into the prince's auspicious clothes, Tian Liang changed into the guard's clothes, the two of them took the carriage in the house, Nalan drove to the Shenwu Gate, Nalan wanted to avoid suspicion, did not go in, and watched the car at the Shenwu Gate. Wang Ye and Tian Liang both have waist cards for entering the palace. went directly to the Wuying Hall where the emperor worked, and after the ceremony, he told the emperor about the daughter of Lord Cheng's family. The emperor hurriedly summoned Zhao Tieyan in and told him: "Tiezi, you hurry up and go to the prison of the Criminal Department, first fish out the third daughter of Master Cheng and bring it to me, I have something to ask her." β
"Hey, my subordinates will go immediately."
"Brother Huang, you are really timely, there are people at today's court meeting who have to find out where Lord Cheng's daughter's jewelry came from, and if you don't put him to death, it seems that you won't give up. When you say that, I put a lot of things together. It seems that Lord Cheng has offended someone who should not be offended, and this person has been waiting for an opportunity to give his so-called handle to the Imperial Historian, who may have wanted to invite merit too much, so he handed the fold to my bookcase. I wanted to kill Master Cheng with my hand. A good calculation. You can rest assured that I will take care of it and will not let Nalan Donggui be wronged. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Brother Huang, there is a secret report that there are many beautiful flowers and a lot of beautiful jewelry in Nalan Donggui's shop, can you tell me about it? How much did you spend on it? β
"Your Majesty, is it possible that you want to return the capital spent by the ministers to the ministers? We bought some goods in foreign lands, some of which were processed off-the-shelf, some of which were semi-finished products, and some of which were materials that we brought back. The material is naturally not as expensive as the finished product, because it still needs to be processed. This processing fee can be divided into some of the women who work in the house as a hard fee, and there are no treasures at all. The beautiful flowers and beautiful jewelry you mentioned, some of the raw materials bought by Yun'er were processed by themselves according to the samples, since they were made by themselves, they could do what they wanted, and they always had to be a little innovative, right? So Lord Cheng's daughter became the target of public criticism, in fact, the jewelry she bought was a little different from the Qing Dynasty. There are also many exotic jewelry materials that are not available in the Qing Dynasty, there are many people over there, everyone can have anything, and everything that comes out is their own unique appearance, this can't be regarded as people's fault, right? β
The emperor smiled and said, "I really obeyed you." Even if this matter is over, Master Cheng will be released soon. His mother-in-law is going to punish her, and if Miss Cheng San doesn't live with her son, I will also agree to let them go. If you hadn't come in time, I would have been deceived by some people. β
Miss Cheng San was taken out of the prison of the Criminal Department by Zhao Tieyan and brought to the emperor in a daze, and she didn't know how to kowtow, and she couldn't answer the question, she just couldn't open her eyes: sleepy. The first thing I did when I was arrested in the criminal department was that I was afraid, afraid of being tortured, afraid of being raped by the jailers, and I didn't dare to sleep. Now that I'm out of prison, my mind is relaxed, and my sleepiness comes up. There was always buzzing in his ears, his eyelids were very long, and he didn't know that the young man opposite was the emperor. Ask her what she answers: I have confessed, what else to ask.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything for the time being, the emperor handed Miss Cheng San to Wu Liangfu beside him, and asked him to find an empty room, and then find two palace maids to serve, bathe, change clothes, and freshen up, and ask her again when she was sober.
The case was taken over by Dali Temple, and it took a few more days of investigation to figure out that someone wanted to frame Master Cheng, and then bought off Miss Cheng San's mother-in-law. This mother-in-law didn't agree with her husband marrying Cheng Da's family at the beginning, one reason is that Cheng San's family is Han, and then Miss Cheng San and her daughter are best friends, the old lady's daughter once had a good man before marriage, and she had a fetus for that man, and her daughter told Miss Cheng San about this. The old lady was worried that if there was any friction between her sister-in-law in the future, her daughter-in-law might talk about it, so she especially disapproved of this marriage. So there were rumors that Miss Cheng San and the merchant had an ambiguous relationship, which was released by her mother-in-law. This old lady has been instigating her son to divorce Miss Cheng San, but her son is reluctant. The old lady didn't know what kind of disciple Tong GuΓ² had a relationship with Lord Yushi, and then there was the matter of Yushi impeaching Lord Cheng. In the end, Lord Cheng's house was raided, the whole family was imprisoned in the Criminal Department, and even Miss Cheng San, who was married and should not be implicated, was arrested.
Lord Cheng was copied from the mansion, and he was almost exiled to safety, and the ups and downs made Lord Cheng turn white overnight! He didn't understand why his daughter's mother-in-law would do this? The child who has just married is only a teenager, even if he offends his mother-in-law, it won't drive her into a corner, right? Not only did the jewelry come out of nothing, but the goods that bought the merchant became evidence of the ambiguity with the merchant. But the merchant is also newly married, and he loves his wife very much, and he doesn't even know who Miss Cheng San is, so he pulls it into the middle of right and wrong. What's the hell here?
The official of the Criminal Department sued Lord SΓΉ Cheng that the reason why his unjust case was reversed so quickly was because of the intercession of Prince Rui in front of the emperor! Although he didn't know anyone in Lord Cheng's mansion, he didn't want an unjust case to happen. So Master Cheng, who came out of the cell, risked his life to break into the Rui Wangfu, and he must meet the Rui Wangye and thank him in person!
The prince met him and told him: "Not only you, Lord Cheng, but also Nalan Donggui, who was a merchant at the beginning, was involved, and they just sold a little goods to this king." He is a descendant with a very good character, and many of the goods he sells are used by young women, so he has nothing to do with anyone. But the goods we bought back have taken you down. Your daughter knows the price of those goods best, it is not a treasure or anything like that, it is the place where this king travels to process jewelry equipment is better than ours in the Qing Dynasty, this king can sell these jewelry at a very high price, but if he does not do this, doing business is to make money, but he can't have no conscience in order to make money. β
Lord Cheng admired the prince so much! But then he heard that the rare treasures that Prince Rui bought back were all exchanged for antiques from Side Fujin, so he admired this Side Fujin even more! Who can exchange treasures for money as the capital of business and make money for the emperor?
Miss Cheng San's family was wronged and Zhaoxue, and the property and mansion were returned, and everyone among them firmly remembered the kindness of Lord Rui!
