Chapter Seventy-Four: Is It Too Late for Me to Say I Don't Know You?
It's dawn.
Li Er walked out of the Yanjia Palace.
I just feel refreshed.
At his age, it is already remarkable that he can still make the eldest grandson queen, who has always gotten up on time, still be unable to get up in bed.
And all this, Li Er feels that in addition to his own strength, it is also useful to be in a happy mood.
Of course, this has a credit to Chen Chu.
Because, Li Er realized that he had made a bet this time, and he was already nine out of ten.
The thought of the secret recipe for popsicle making is about to arrive, and he is very energetic in what he does.
Of course, after a night of hard work, it is inevitable that some legs will be weak.
Li Er yawned and walked forward, but saw that next to the steps, Cheng Chumo was holding a thick pillar and was sleeping.
Li Er stepped forward and kicked Cheng Chumo.
Swish.
Cheng Chumo hurriedly stood up, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty...... The minister has a big report. ”
Li Er laughed and asked, "Is it the salt shop, no one cares, Chu Mo, this matter has long been expected by me, you don't have to panic." ”
In order to bet on winning, Li Erdu is about to lose his blood.
Mobilize the Long Wu army to guard the area around the salt shop, and ordinary people can't get in.
Of course, Long Wujun couldn't stop the ministers of the court, so he was not at ease, and gathered the eldest grandson Wuji and others together, and warned everyone not to buy salt, not to buy salt...... The ministers did not disappoint him, and they all said that they would not buy salt, and Situ Wangqi even patted his chest and promised that he would not buy salt even if he starved to death.
Li Er is still very confident in these ministers.
Cheng Chumo looked embarrassed and whispered: "Your Majesty, on the contrary, there are many people who buy salt now. ”
Li Er waved his hand: "Okay, Chu Mo, get ready, follow me to Qingfeng Village, let's go to Chen Chu to ask for the secret of popsicle making...... What, what do you say? ”
He reacted suddenly, and his eyes immediately widened.
Cheng Chumo repeated: "Your Majesty, there are many people who go to buy salt. ”
Li Er finally confirmed.
Things are getting out of hand again.
He hurriedly asked, "When?" ”
Cheng Chumo didn't dare to say yesterday afternoon, only said: "Yesterday evening! ”
Li Er was stunned, his face was furious: "Such a big matter, why don't you report it to me as soon as possible." ”
Cheng Chumo said innocently: "Your Majesty, it was Gonggong Gao who didn't let me in, and said that if you want to see Your Majesty, you have to go to Lord Fang and Master Wei first." ”
Gao Chen?
Li Er turned his head, just wanting to reprimand Gao Chen, who was standing in the distance with a bewildered expression.
suddenly remembered that at that time last night, he was having an in-depth communication with the queen.
He also specially instructed Gao Chen that unless the prime minister came to find him, no one would be seen.
Careless!
For a while, Li Er was angry, but he didn't know how to vent.
"The straw man made a mistake!"
He let out a long sigh.
Then he called Cheng Chumo and hurriedly walked in the direction of the outside of the palace.
Halfway through, Li Er asked curiously, "I have already asked you to mobilize the Long Wu Army to guard the salt shop, why are there so many people coming to buy salt?" ”
Cheng Chumo said helplessly: "According to the minister's secret observation, the people who come to buy salt are not small. ”
"Hmph, it's not small, I want to see who dares to go against me." Li Er's voice became extremely cold.
……
Not long after, Li Er and Cheng Chumo appeared at the door of the salt shop in Dongshi.
In the distance, I saw a long line at the entrance of the salt shop.
Li Er had a very ominous premonition.
As soon as he and Cheng Chumo walked in, the shopkeeper greeted them.
The shopkeeper didn't know Li Er, but just greeted Cheng Chumo.
I saw him beaming, his eyebrows fluttering, and said: "General, the refined salt that was transported yesterday has been sold out this morning, and the little one saw that you were not there, so he took matters into his own hands, sent someone out of the city, and brought back another batch of salt, and estimated that this batch of salt would be sold out today......
When Li Er heard this, his face was as cold as frost.
Cheng Chumo looked embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you can hurry up and get busy." ”
Li Er didn't say a word, walked behind the counter, and found a place to sit down.
He wanted to see who dared to disobey his orders and buy salt without permission.
Cheng Chumo stood aside and introduced.
"Your Majesty, this is the steward of the king's mansion."
"That's Lord Zhang's grandson!"
"This is Lord Ma's wife's uncle."
Looking at this person, Li Er understood.
These people are all related to the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government.
No wonder they can unscrupulously break through the pass of the Longwu Army, because many of the Longwu Army are the children or relatives of these ministers.
At this time, a figure caught Li Er's attention.
It was a guy dressed in coarse cloth and wearing a hat, and he looked old, hiding in the crowd.
Li Er kept paying attention to the other party.
When the man lined up to the front and began to buy refined salt, Li Er rushed up and ripped off the opponent's hat.
Wow.
revealed a face that Li Er and Cheng Chumo were very familiar with.
Wang Qi!
It turned out to be Situ Wangqi!
Li Er was surprised: "Wang Jue ......"
Wang Jue looked flustered and a little dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that he would be arrested by His Majesty Li Er in disguise to buy refined salt.
As one of the three princes of the dynasty, Situ Wang Jue has always attached great importance to face.
But he now felt that his face was torn to the ground by His Majesty Li Er, and he stepped on it a few times.
After a while, Wang Jue came back to his senses and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I said now that I don't know you, is it too late?" ”
Li Er said angrily: "You roll over to me!" ”
A moment later.
Upstairs in the salt shop.
Li Er sat behind the table.
Wang Jue stood on the opposite side tremblingly.
Li Er took a sip of tea and said coldly, "Wang Aiqing, why don't you sit?" ”
Wang Jue's face was painful, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister's hemorrhoids have recurred, and the doctor told me to stand more and not sit for a long time...... Your Majesty, you have to listen to the minister's explanation, the minister did say yesterday that he likes to eat light, but recently he found a doctor, he said that this refined salt is very useful for the treatment of hemorrhoids, and the minister is fascinated by it, and secretly came to buy some refined salt, really only buy a little bit. ”
Hemorrhoids are actually hemorrhoids.
Li Er frowned, and slammed the teacup on the table: "Wang Aiqing, do you want to buy two thousand catties of refined salt at a time, and only buy a little bit?" ”
"Minister......
Wang Qi is so old that he can't make it up.
Li Er waved his hand: "Wang Aiqing, you are my most trusted minister, you are really disappointed by what you do, since you have serious hemorrhoids, tomorrow I will give you a will, you go back to retire, I can't bear to look at your age, and you still work for the country!" ”
Wang Qi suddenly glared at the forbidden ones.
Go back to retire?
What's the difference between that and eating and waiting to die?
He sat down on the stool suddenly, looked around, and whispered: "Your Majesty, let's be honest, the minister just wants to hoard some refined salt...... All of this has to start with the analysis of the eldest grandson......"
The eldest grandson Wuji?
Li Er was stunned.
