Chapter 232: Harvesting Hundred Tun Grain

When Li Changqing received the letter, Bai Ruge had already arrived in the suburbs of Shangjing, because the people he bought were all men who had no wives and no children, or who were homeless and homeless in disasters, and their backgrounds were also very innocent. took it to the villa under construction, let it rest for two days, and then Bai Ruge returned to the Phoenix Restaurant.

Recently, there are people gathering outside to make trouble outside every day, and it is impossible to carry out even soup kitchens, Li Changqing sent someone to investigate secretly, which is obviously the handiwork of the Wang family.

This is also the case, the Wang family wants to keep the identity of the salt merchant this time, and the most capable of competing in Beijing at present is the new Fengdeng. Previously, the discussion with Ruge was carried out in secret, but who knows, after Wang Kun went to Li's mansion, this happened, Li Changqing guessed, Li Rao was indispensable to be involved.

In the afternoon, Bai Ruge brought the Northwest documents and a hundred contracts to sell Li Changqing to the Phoenix Restaurant.

"Miss, this trip has made a big difference." Bai Ruge saw Li Changqing, and her feminine face showed joy.

And Shuangmo looked much thinner, standing behind Bai Ruge, and when he saw Li Changqing coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and called Miss softly.

Li Changqing nodded and motioned for her to go out. Shuangmo hurriedly retreated.

"Tell me about it." Li Changqing sat down, glanced at Bai Ruge and asked.

"In the drought in the northwest, many people are separated from their wives, and it is very common for hungry ghosts to die on the road. When I went, it happened that the victims rebelled, so I looked for three or four people every day with Shuangmo and Zhang Er. In this way, after about 20 days, I asked for paperwork and stamps, and I got these people. ”

"What should I do when I come down?" Bai Ruge asked after a slight pause.

"I recently got an account book, which is in the possession of Steward Liu of our mansion, which records the secret warehouse of the Li Mansion and some transactions between Xuanyuan Chu and the Li Mansion secretly, you can help me sort it out."

Li Changqing said and took out the account book from his arms and gave it to Bai Ruge, and then said: "This time, I don't know about us, I'm afraid that the prince of the court can secretly meddle in this matter, you must be careful." Brother Zhou has been a little anxious by Fengdeng recently, you go and give an idea at night. In a few days, the salt merchant paperwork will come down. ”

"Yes, I asked Brother Wednesday today, and Zhang Gui's side has now received a small profit. The one-month deadline is approaching, if he wants to make a lot of money, he will not look down on this small profit, but when the time comes, it will be such a small profit, which will make him miserable and make the third prince lose a lot. ”

"Let me tell you when the thing is done, by the way, you must buy a large amount of grain at a high price recently, we only have fifteen tuns of grain now, far from enough, you have to buy one hundred tuns of grain at the end of March, before the old emperor hunts."

"But Fengden can't let go."

"Who said it was going to be there? If you get the salt merchant documents this time, Fengdeng will not be safe, I think, the mountain villa is being built, you go and order the hundred people to first go under the foundation according to the requirements on my drawings, and make a secret passage, and when the time comes, this hundred tuns of grain will be placed by themselves. ”

"Miss's clever plan, I'll go tomorrow."

"You first think of countermeasures with Brother Zhou, you have to be careful about this secret granary, let Shuangmo follow you first, and you have to change your appearance when you go out on weekdays, presumably you have been targeted by the third prince." Last time something like that happened, with the character of the third prince, even if he doesn't retaliate now, he is always waiting for the opportunity. ”

Bai Ruge nodded. Then Li Changqing drank a cup of tea, and then left the Phoenix Restaurant.

When he arrived at the Li Mansion, Wang Ruzhen was taking the shelf of the main mother and reprimanding everyone in the main courtyard, Li Changqing saw it, nodded slightly and was about to leave.

"Miss, since you're here, why don't you sit here and listen to me." Wang Ruzhen called out to Li Changqing and cleared her throat, her voice was still a little heavy.

"I didn't feel well, so I left first." Li Changqing bowed slightly, and replied indifferently.

Wang Ruzhen just wanted to stand up in front of everyone again, but she didn't expect Li Changqing to still be so thin. Angry face came out, and just as he was about to speak, Li Changxin stood up suddenly, walked in front of Li Changqing in a few steps, grabbed Li Changqing's arm, and said in a negative manner: "Sister, don't be embarrassed." ”

Li Changqing sneered: "My sister is just a third princess who has not left the cabinet now, and now she is talking more and more, but why did it come in and spread the word that these three princesses are going to change hands?" Li Changqing lowered his head, suddenly realized, and said, "I heard that Miss Wei Ziyan Wei has often been in and out of the Three Princes' Mansion recently. If the rumors are correct, the last time the third prince was angrily reprimanded by the emperor, Lord Wei, the secretary of the military department, helped to say a few good words...... ”

Saying that, he looked at Li Changxin's suddenly changed face, biting his lip at this time, with a hateful look, he couldn't help but continue to say: "However, I heard that my father was indifferent and did not intercede with the future brother-in-law of the third prince. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Wang Ruzhen's face changed, and she immediately stepped forward and pulled Li Changxin behind her and said, "The eldest lady does her own thing, and she is not afraid of flashing her mouth." ”

Li Changqing looked at the mother and daughter with a sneer in his heart. "What my aunt says is what it is, and I am also kind enough to remind me, lest I get out of the cabinet on the day I leave the pavilion, but I end up with nothing, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water."

As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving the annoyed mother and daughter staring. As a result, Li Changxin went to the mansion of the third prince that night. Sure enough, I met Wei Ziyan, who had just come out of the Three Princes' Mansion at the door, and saw that her face was like a peach blossom, and the whole person was simply full of spring, which made Li Changxin even more angry, and slapped Wei Ziyan when he rushed up. The voice resounded through the sky, shaking Xuanyuan Chu who was following behind.

Xuanyuan Chu saw the shrewd appearance of Li Changxin, who had always been soft and weak, and his handsome face, which was originally expressionless, was like a layer of cold frost at this time, and Li Changxin, who was so frightened that he saw him in a blink of an eye, shuddered coldly, and called weakly: "Chu ......"

The voice is mixed with infinite grievances and dissatisfaction, and the tail note is very long, and it sounds soft and soft, and it wants to be hugged into people's arms. Xuanyuan Chu's eyes couldn't help but deepen, looking at Li Changxin's affectionate and expectant eyes, he stretched out his hand to pull Wei Ziyan, stroked her face, and said, "I'm tired, I'll take you to the house to rub some medicine." Saying that, he didn't even pay attention to Li Changqing, so he took Wei Ziyan into the mansion, and when he entered, he ordered the doorkeeper: "Don't let the idle people in." ”

When Li Changxin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly it was like a head-on blow, only to feel that his head was buzzing, and he subconsciously wanted to follow up, but the doorkeeper kindly reminded him: "Miss Li, the master said that idle people can't wait to go in." ”

After speaking, the door was closed tightly with a "bang", and Li Changxin only felt that his ears were shaking.

She stared at the door with resentful eyes, and then turned around and ran back. When I arrived at Li's house, I cried for a night, and the next day, Wang Ruzhen took Li Changxin to the palace.

This time, Wang Ruzhen visited Concubine Xiao Guifei as Mrs. Erpin, naturally, no one dared to chew any tongue outside.
