Chapter 258: The Trap
Hong Ruifeng was refuted with face, and some people naturally noticed it in a small area, but most of the businessmen didn't notice it, because everyone was busy chatting and communicating, so Chai Yanfeng and Hong Ruifeng's correspondence did not have any impact.
However, Hong Ruifeng's face was not good in the future, and everyone saw it.
In fact, among the merchants who came to participate in the banquet, there were some who were bigger than Hong Ruifeng's family, although he was considered to be wealthy, but he was definitely not so powerful that everyone had to respect him. Otherwise, it would not be a merchant surnamed Guo who supplied porcelain in the palace who hosted this dinner, but him.
Hong Ruifeng's ugly face continued until the organizer of the banquet and the people of the imperial eunuch sat down together.
The official surnamed Huang Jia Jian was Li, because his position was Huang Jia Jian Cheng, and everyone called him Li Jian Cheng. The businessman surnamed Guo also greeted everyone with a smile. After greeting him, Li Jiancheng signaled everyone to be quiet, and then opened his voice and said a few words, the central idea was to thank the emperor for his grace, and to do his best to supply the emperor's tribute and so on.
The merchants responded one after another, and then the maidservants and the handsome servants brought all kinds of wine and food, and everyone returned to the table and began to eat.
Chai Yanfeng didn't give Hong Ruifeng face, and he couldn't get off the stage on the spot, so Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng also paid some attention to Hong Ruifeng's movements when they ate and talked with people. Both of them noticed that when Hong Ruifeng was talking to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng had looked at him once without a trace.
Shang Qiang also said that Hong Ruifeng was saying bad things about the two of them. So both of them became vigilant and prepared to meet Hong Ruifeng's revenge.
However, it was unexpected. Until the end of the banquet, Hong Ruifeng, all the businessmen who were good friends with him, and the Li Jiancheng did not move.
Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng took people to eat and drink, and then met many businessmen who could cooperate. After the banquet, I went back to Xianfeng Inn.
At this time, the gate of Fangmen Palace has long been closed, and it will be very troublesome to go back to King Yong's Mansion, so I simply rest in the post house for one night.
"Brother Jade, Jade Lady, you offended Hong Ruifeng today, but he didn't attack on the spot. I'm afraid there is a trick, and the two of you should be careful in the future to prevent him from retaliating. "At the time of separation. Quan Jiayou said.
The merchant surnamed Wang also lived in the Xianfeng Post House, and when he heard the words, he also nodded beside him and said: That's true.
"It's okay for us, but today's events may affect the two of us. also completely offended the villain. Chai Yanfeng and Shu Jin thanked the two for their kindness. After that.
"That's not afraid of him. First, the two of us have done different business with him, and we have not cooperated with him, and secondly, we have been in business for many years and have our own ways, so we don't need to look at his face. The merchant surnamed Wang said, "But you have been in the industry for a short time, so you have to worry more about him harming you." ”
He said sincerely, and Shu Jin Chai Yanfeng naturally accepted his kindness. Thank you very much.
After a few more conversations, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
A few more days passed. Finally, it was the day when the imperial merchant entered the palace to thank him. It was Shu Jin who was awarded the title of imperial businessman, and it was naturally impossible for Chai Yanfeng to follow this time, and it was impossible for Shu Jin to take Shangqiang Ge Cunzhong and others. Before dawn in the morning, Shu Jin got up to freshen up, then changed his clothes and followed a group of imperial merchants into the palace gate behind the people of the imperial eunuch.
State affairs are busy, and the emperor will certainly not take the best time to summon these imperial merchants. It was only when he was free and remembered that there were still these people waiting to kowtow to him, and then someone would summon him, and they could go to thank him.
Therefore, although they entered the palace gate before dawn, it is possible that no one will remember them until the evening, and they will have the opportunity to be summoned.
Shu Jin and other imperial businessmen said that there were a hundred and ten, and the emperor would not summon them one by one and then ask and talk one by one, which would exhaust the emperor to death. Therefore, Shu Jin had already inquired clearly: the time was when the time came for the hundred or so of them to kneel down the mountain outside the emperor's diligent palace and kowtow.
Before they were summoned, they were arranged in a side hall in a corner of the Taiji Palace. Shu Jin stayed in a room with several female imperial merchants and waited for the summons. A few people are not familiar with each other, and because this is the palace, the other women are nervous and dare not talk at will, Shu Jin is bored to death sitting here, but he also knows that this ancient palace must not move around at will.
Taiji Palace is already an important place in the palace, and each palace eunuch and concubine here has their own range of activities, not to say that they can go wherever they want. Shu Jin didn't think so, and he wouldn't try the law.
Everyone came on an empty stomach, and when the time came, a eunuch came with a food box to announce that the emperor had rewarded the meal. A group of imperial businessmen hurriedly thanked him, all of them exaggerated, and even grateful. Breakfast was settled, and everyone continued to wait. Shu Jin was distracted to operate the machine in Xinghuo and flip through the computer to check the information, and the time was passable.
It wasn't until almost noon that a petty official from the imperial prison suddenly came. He arrived at the room where Shu Jin was waiting, and after looking around, he asked:
"Which one is the newly sealed sugar merchant Yushi Shujin this year?"
Shu Jin got up when he heard the words and said: I am. Chai Yanfeng changed her surname to Yu, and she also became Yufang Shujin.
Before she could say anything more, the petty officer said, "If a noble person wants to see you, come with me." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Shu Jin to ask, turned around and left.
Shu Jin had to keep up.
Out of the courtyard where the imperial merchant was, the two walked on the corridor one after the other, Shu Jin took two steps and asked the little official softly:
"This Xiao Ling, I don't know who wants to see me?"
"Where did you get so much nonsense, you go with me, don't you know when you see it?"
As he spoke, the petty officer continued to walk forward.
Shu Jin frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Looking closely at the little official, I saw that he frowned, looked around without a trace, and at the same time watched his movements with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and turned some bad idea at a glance.
Shu Jin remained silent and continued to follow him. The cloister spared a few times, and passed two gardens, this palace is big, only the cloister that can be used for walking is easy to make people dizzy, out of the courtyard are all high walls, if no one leads, it is almost certain to go the wrong way.
The little official took Shu Jin to walk on the corridor between the palace walls, and suddenly dodged and entered a door. Shu Jin naturally didn't miss his movements and followed quickly, but by the time Shu Jin entered the door, the petty official had disappeared.
Shu Jin naturally didn't have a hard time finding him, and when he spread his mental power, he saw that the little official was hiding behind a bush of trees, low down, and quickly ran in another direction, and he was definitely not visible from the angle of Shu Jin's entry. If there is no spiritual assistance, he may not be able to find his traces.
It seems that this is a deliberate attempt to lure her here.
Shu Jin further spread his spiritual power, intending to see who lived in this courtyard, and then judge what that person wanted to do when he brought him here. (To be continued......)
