It's nearly noon.

Shui Rong was half-asleep and half-awake, he heard a crisp sound from the compartment, he got up from the bed in a daze, pushed open the door and looked outside, who knew that before he could see how the hall was clear, he was first reflected in a green color.

It turned out that in the small hall, there was a graceful woman, kneeling on the ground, concentrating on burning a piece of wax, and the green and brilliant light was radiated when the wax bar burned.

"Concubine."

Shui Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How many times have you said that this kind of rough work is handed over to the slaves and maids - if you accidentally burn you, how can you get it?" ”

This woman is naturally Princess Wei.

As if she had turned a deaf ear, she blew out the candle on the table, took a piece of mink, dipped it in the melted wax, and carefully wrapped the two bowstrings.

When the mink was firmly tied with a ribbon, she got up and gave a blessing, and said indifferently: "The things that the concubine uses by herself still have to be maintained by herself, and her heart can be regarded as more steady." ”

Seeing that she put on a light pink armor on her upper body, and a pair of trousers for riding on her lower body, she looked heroic and sassy and did not let her eyebrows go.

Especially when he saw the two slender legs, tightly overlapped together, Shui Rong suddenly felt a cloud of dryness rise in his lower abdomen, and he couldn't wait to replace the black horse in the stable and let her ride on her body 'gallop'.

It's a pity that Wei's is from a humble identity and refuses to do anything to prostitute himself during the day, so Shui Rong can only clamp his tail tightly, and stepped forward to ask flatteringly: "This 'rosin wax' that the king ordered someone to burn paper can still make?" ”

"This 'rosin wax' is naturally excellent."

Wei first praised it, and then said with a straight face: "It's just that the mansion is now overstretched, and it owes the internal affairs government a lot of famine - so this object equivalent to gold, the concubines always feel apprehensive when they use it." ”

She deliberately wanted to persuade Shui Rong not to be too extravagant and wasteful.

But when Shui Rong heard this, he laughed and said: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to worry about this, now that my brother and I are partnering in a business, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be able to enter the account within ten months, and what will a few sections of rosin wax be worth at that time?" ”

When Wei heard this, he was about to ask about it, but he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly changed his words: "By the way, my brother-in-law just sent someone to come over to pass the word, saying that when the prince woke up, there were some things to report in person." ”

Shui Rong laughed again, and said triumphantly: "Maybe there is some good news - concubine Ai, wait here, let me go and see my brother-in-law first, and then I will talk to you about this good deal when I come back!" ”

As he spoke, he pecked Wei on the face and ran out as if he had escaped.

This way to the flower hall, but seeing that Wei Rusong's face was a little cloudy, Shui Rong's heart suddenly became a little worried, and hurriedly asked: "Brother-in-law, didn't there be an accident?" ”

"Well...... this"

Wei Rusong hesitated for a moment, then pretended to spread his hands and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just something that doesn't open its eyes, jumping out and wanting to make a windfall." ”

Saying that, he briefly repeated to Shui Rong the situation of someone selling the medium-grade golden shellfish near the Honglu Temple, as well as his follow-up countermeasures.

In the end, he said lightly: "Only two thousand medium-grade golden shells can't afford to turn up any wind and waves, as long as we deal with it properly, maybe we can take advantage of the trend and rise again." ”

Shui Rong was infected by Wei Rusong's relaxed attitude, and felt that it was no big deal, it was just two thousand medium-grade golden shells, just like the five hundred in Jia Yu's hand, it was an inventory that a certain businessman withheld privately.

Eating these two thousand golden shells, although it costs at least 30,000 taels of silver, but when the medium-grade golden shells rise to thirty taels of silver as expected, wouldn't they be able to make an extra profit?

Therefore, Shui Rong also laughed and said: "It's a pity that there are only two thousand, if you can have more......

"Lord, lord!"

Without waiting for Shui Rong to finish speaking, a person broke in from the outside, but it was Steward Liu, who had received the silver before and went to Honglu Temple to sweep the goods.

But seeing that he arrived in the hall sweating profusely, he fell to his knees with a pop, and prostrate on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "It's a big deal, the prince!" The little one was ordered to buy the 2,000 golden shells, but who knew that the other party actually took out another 20,000 medium-grade golden shells and continued to sell them openly! ”

"Not only that, but they also lowered the price directly to ten taels of silver each!"

Took out another 20,000?!

Fang Cai was still too little, but after hearing this amazing amount, Shui Rong was suddenly dumbfounded.

Wei Rusong's face suddenly lost all the blood, and in the warehouse of the Beijing Palace, there were only 16,000 medium-grade golden shells - I am afraid that the only one who could take out 22,000 medium-grade golden shells at once was the Zhongshun Palace!

But how is this possible?!

Even a fool should know what a disastrous consequence it would be to sell 22,000 medium-grade golden shellfish at a low price!

Could it be that the king of loyalty is crazy?

You must know that once the price of this Tao Zhu Jinbei collapses, he will lose at least hundreds of thousands of taels of profits!

"Brother-in-law!"

Shui Rong swallowed and foamed at the mouth in a frenzy, and looked at Wei Rusong expectantly: "This ...... How good is that? ”

Where did Wei Rusong come up with any solution?

After a long time, he opened his mouth with difficulty, but before he could say anything, he heard a report from someone outside the door: "Lord Qiqi, Zhou Mo, the chief historian of the Zhongshun Palace, has just sent a letter to you, saying that the King of Zhongshun wrote to the prince." ”

Letters from the King of Loyalty?!

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Quickly, quickly present the letter to this king!" ”

Immediately someone from outside came in and held the letter with both hands.

Shui Rong snatched it with his hand, tore the letter open, and looked at it at a glance:

I saw that King Zhongshun said in his letter that he had recently accidentally discovered that the Hu merchants in the Western Regions were concocting a conspiracy - these damn barbarians actually wanted to use worthless rotten shells to defraud the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

After learning about this, the sense of mission of the loyal king as a courtier spontaneously arises, so he decides to use his own strength to expose this crazy conspiracy!

Therefore, he has been collecting Tao Zhu Jinbei in recent months, not to make a fortune, but to preemptively make this thing worthless, so that Hu Shang's conspiracy will be self-defeating!

Who knew that this great kindness had actually attracted disaster, and since May 25, he secretly sent to buy Jinbei's house slaves, and they were often intercepted on the official road, and they took Jinbei away with half robbery and half buying.

Four times before and after, there are more than 50,000 golden shells missing.

King Zhongshun has been investigating for a long time, but he has not been able to find out the main envoy behind the scenes, and now he is going to the palace to escape the summer, and he really can't get out, so he has to send a letter to ask Shui Rong to visit on his behalf.

But when Shui Rong saw this, the bottom of the pot with a handsome face was already black, and he raised his head and asked through gritted teeth: "Steward Liu, since the twenty-fifth of last month, a total of several traders have been intercepted in our house, how many golden shells have been obtained?" ”

Although Steward Liu saw that his face was wrong, how could he dare to deceive?

Busy 1510 replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, since the 25th of last month, a total of seven merchants have been intercepted, and more than 60,000 ...... of gold shells have been obtained."

Before he could finish speaking, Shui Rong flew up and kicked Steward Liu back, and roared angrily: "Damn stupid, you've been fooled for so long, and you haven't even found any clues!" ”

Comparing these two, how can Shui Rong still not understand that more than half of the Jinbei he bought recently is the inventory of King Zhongshun?!

Counting the more than 2,000 medium-grade gold shells that he bought at the market price before, and before he knew it, he had already been cheated by him for 60,000 taels of silver!

But why did the king do this?

In order to pit himself with these 60,000 taels of silver, he abandoned hundreds of thousands of taels of profiteering? That's weird, isn't it?!

Just as he was puzzled, Wei Rusong picked up the letter from the ground and quickly swept it, and then he suddenly exclaimed: "Damn!" We've been forgetting that there is such a variable as Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty!"

Wei Rusong smiled bitterly: "Except for Your Majesty today, who else can make King Zhongshun give up the silver at his fingertips, and personally come forward to clean up the mess?" I think it must be that after His Majesty asked about this, he felt that it was harmful to the people, so he ordered the king of Zhongshun to rein in the precipice. ”

As he spoke, he shook the letter in his hand again, and said helplessly: "However, the king of Zhongshun is unwilling to take advantage of the capital, so he hit us with the idea and cheated us out of our money to make up for his shortfall!" ”

"It's a shame that we still think we have a plan, and we can pick up a big bargain behind him without wind and risk, but who knows that he is playing with applause......"

Halfway through the words, he saw Shui Rong's body shake a few times, and he almost fell to the ground.

Wei Rusong hurriedly stopped talking, stretched out his hand to support Shui Rong, and was about to ask a few words with concern, but heard Shui Rong grit his teeth and say: "It's too much to deceive, this old thief is really too deceitful!" ”

As he spoke, a trace of blood seeped out of his mouth.

When Wei Rusong saw this, he knew that he was so angry that he hurt his heart, so he hurriedly said: "The prince must take care of his body, but it is just 60,000 taels of silver, since I came up with this idea at the beginning, the silver should naturally be ...... by me."

He was taking care of everything here, but he heard a panicked report from someone outside the door: "Lord, something is wrong!" Zhou Mo, the chief historian of the Zhongshun Palace, led people to surround the Chen steward in our mansion and beat him up, and also pointed out that he was a strong man who blocked the way, and wanted to drag him to Shuntian Mansion to see the official! ”

When Shui Rong heard this, he straightened his waist again all of a sudden, and said hatefully: "Okay, good!" He took my money, and even sent someone to the door, it was true...... It's really ......."

As he spoke, two red tides suddenly appeared on his face, and then his throat trembled, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a wow!
