Chapter 34: The Soap Storm

Hu Caizheng, the owner of the treasure shop, was excitedly looking at the white silver in front of him in the store, calculating the income brought by the soap in the past few days, and when he just counted to 500 taels, he heard the second little man in the shop outside the door shouting for help. Hu Ren is very strange, didn't he just let him take out a soap at the door, could it be that someone died? Hurriedly put away the silver taels and money in front of him, and rushed to the door of the store to take a look.

The little second in the shop outside the door was locked up by two officials and wanted to be pulled away, Hu Cai hurriedly went to the official and hugged his fists with a smiling face and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what crime the little second in my store has committed?" The tired officials came to arrest him in person. ”

Several officials with horizontal eyebrows squinted at Hu Ren, and one of them asked, "Are you the owner of this shop?" ”

Hu Cai hugged his fists and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the official, my surname is Hu Danzi and a wealth character, and he is the owner of the treasure shop." ”

The officials looked at each other, and after holding Hu Cai again, he said: "Let's go, our master is invited to come with us today." ”

Hu Cai panicked at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Ladies and gentlemen~, are you wrong, the villain is a businessman and has never committed anything." ”

The officials smiled "haha": "You'll understand when you get to the lobby, let's go, don't be verbose." ”

An apprentice in the shop saw through the crack in the door that the shopkeeper Hu and the shopkeeper were taken away by the official, and hurriedly ran into the backyard and shouted, "Master, it's not good! Master was taken away. ”

The shopkeeper Hu was taken to the Lin'an Mansion, and the officials stood on both sides of the lobby, shouting "mighty ~~~~~." "Shopkeeper Hu has never seen such a formation in his life, and his legs trembled with fright.

Yin of Lin'an Mansion in the hall was shocked, and said majestically: "The prisoner has been brought." ”

The official who brought Hu to the hall with the shopkeeper said: "Nancheng Hu Ren has been brought to the front of the hall, waiting for the master's fate. ”

The hall spoke: "Very good, wait for all the prisoners to arrive, and then start the trial, and bring it down first." ”

Shopkeeper Hu and shopkeeper were taken to stand on the left outside the lobby door, and after a while, Shopkeeper Hu saw the owners of major shops in the capital, and they were all taken to Lin'an Mansion one after another, standing beside him and waiting for the trial.

Two of them dared to ask each other in a whisper: "Shopkeeper Huang, what kind of wind is Yin from Lin'an Mansion today, why did he arrest us all?" ”

The shopkeeper Huang was also full of questions: "I don't know, I sold soap just right today, and I was suddenly caught in the government, and my heart is still pounding." ”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the official in charge of guarding them said angrily: "It is forbidden to make noise in the palace. ”

The two shopkeepers looked at each other and did not dare to speak again.

When all the treasurers in the city arrived, the governor of the hall asked the officials to take them all to the court for questioning. Fu Yin opened his mouth and said, "Are you guilty? ”

The shopkeepers shouted in unison: "My lord, we have been wronged." ”

Fu Yin: "Hmph, since you don't admit it, the official who cultivates the blame is not emotional." Come and bring evidence to the court, so that these businessmen who only know the black heart can see their masterpieces. ”

A servant carried a tray on which was an object wrapped in red paper. Shopkeeper Hu looked at it from a distance, how could it be the soap they sold?

After reading it, the shopkeepers put it down at once, and the two shopkeepers who were in the court took the lead and said, "Lord Yin, this is just the soap sold by the little ones." ”

Fu Yin: "That's it, this government asks you, how much does your so-called soap sell now?" ”

"My lord, our soap only sells for four taels of silver, is this also wrong?"

"How much to buy, I don't want to ask, the way of the world, one is willing to buy, one is willing to sell. But today, you shouldn't be, the person who sold it is not right. Some people think that your selling price is too high, and if you don't lower the price, you won't want to go home today. ”

When these shopkeepers heard this, they all said loudly: "My lord, how ridiculous, buying and selling is our own business, when someone has come to control the buying and selling prices of each family, my lord knows it." ”

Lin'an Mansion Yin also shook his head and felt that he was very ridiculous, but what did he mean by himself, what could he do with a small Mansion Yin? Now we can only put some pressure on these shopkeepers.

Through imperative negotiations with these shopkeepers, it was finally decided that soap would only be sold for 2 taels of silver in the future.

Rizune knew that he had gone to the streets today to solve the problem of inflated prices, and he was secretly happy. The great reward was Jia Gui, the eunuch who followed him at that time.

Liren, who was far away in Anxi, Quanzhou, finally knew what had happened, and laughed three times at home and said it was ridiculous. Finding the captains of each team, after the ceremony, Li Ren said: "You discussed, although what Zhao Yun did this time, although it is ridiculous, will it have any impact on our business in the future?"

The captains whispered to each other, and some of them laughed. At this time, Miss Zhang Rong got up and said, "Owner, from the little girl's point of view, the absurd thing that Zhao Yun did this time is a warning to us. ”

Li Ren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Why is it a warning?" Let's talk about it. Several captains next to him were also full of questions, and they all looked at Zhang Rong and looked forward to it.

Zhang Rong said unhurriedly: "Owner, please think about it, with Zhao Yun's thoughts, he would not do such an absurd thing. The scene cannot be reproduced, but it must have been instigated by someone nearby. From this point, it can be judged that Zhao Yun is soft-eared and easy to be controlled by others, if it is our enemy, then we are very passive. ”

Rihito sat in his chair and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Then which of you still has a different opinion?" ”

The captains shook their heads: "We all support Miss Zhang's opinion. ”

"Owner, Miss Zhang is right, according to Miss Zhang's analysis, this time it should not have much impact on our business." Zhang Lei said at this time.

"Actually, I'm not worried about how much impact it will have on our business, mainly based on this incident, I will analyze Zhao Yun's personality and thoughts on the one hand. It will help us in our future actions. In this way, Zhang Lei, you send people to pay more attention to the movements in the capital, and it is best to penetrate among the upper-level officials. Liren looked at Zhang Lei and said seriously.

Zhang Lei stood up and clenched his fists: "No!" ”

Li Ren instructed again: "Miss Zhang, your team will find a few more people who have read books, and help analyze all the intelligence and letters intercepted by Zhang Lei in the future." Your team analyzed it and presented it directly to me. ”

Miss Zhang was a blessing: "No! ”
