Chapter 14: You Didn't Win, I Didn't Lose
The words were divided into two ends, Yu Chisong asked Yu Jia to find Han Lin to discuss countermeasures, and he sat in the courtyard uncomfortably, and within two moments, Yu Jia brought Han Lin over.
"Meet the eldest prince." Han Lin bowed.
"Don't be polite, think of a countermeasure." Wei Chisong said and handed the Zhao order given to him by Zhao Gonggong to Han Lin.
Han Lin looked at it and said, "What a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”
"I don't know what kind of senior staff member I invited, and I gave him a good move." Wei Chisong said unhappily.
"What does the eldest prince want, the chief supervisor of this mansion can go to office." Han Lin asked.
"I was just about to unite with my second uncle, but I was provoked by his lieutenant Chiqing, and I can't do this errand." Wei Chisong said.
"Eldest son, Mrs. Zhang is here." Yu Jia said.
"Old lady Zhang also knows about this?" Han Lin asked.
"I sent someone later, so let's come and come up with ideas together."
"Father-in-law." Yu Chisong sat on the Taishi chair with Mrs. Zhang.
"Oh, Lord Han is here too." Old lady Zhang said.
"Old lady, have you heard about it too?" Han Lin asked.
"Yes, it seems that our city lord will not stop if he doesn't get rid of us, eldest prince, are you going or not?"
"Father-in-law, the son-in-law can't be involved in this matter, and he became the chief eunuch of this house, but he is directly against my second uncle." Wei Chisong said.
"Child, in fact, you don't have to think so, after all, these three forces in this city may not be as big as him, if we are combined, we can't fight him?" Old lady Zhang said.
"What the old lady said is yes, there is a saying that one eliminates the other, if the three of us can work together to pull Wei Chiqing down in the future, it doesn't matter if these people who suffer losses and take advantage of them in front of them don't matter." Han Lin added.
"But I haven't told my second uncle and second brother about these things clearly, I'm afraid it will backfire."
"I'll go and tell your second uncle that the second son's side has to rely on Lord Han to go." Old lady Zhang said and handed a letter to the eldest prince.
Wei Chisong looked at it and handed it to Han Lin.
Han Lin looked at it, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise and praise, "Wonderful, old lady, you have a good plan." ”
"Aren't we going to get it back?"
Day 2.
Yu Chong also had a secret letter to send to the shopkeeper of Hengrui Pawnshop, so he took a photo with Ah Fu and left.
"Brother Yu's trip is very powerful." Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"What's mighty, I was almost taken back to the head sect again, is this for me to stay in Nandui City to find out the news or let me go back, why is the grain and rice I personally escorted poisonous." Yu Chong said indignantly.
"Hahaha, Brother Yu is suspicious, my brother is heavily involved in the dock gang, the gang of muddy men at the dock don't have the ability to poison, and the master behind the Dadong grain store is not necessarily the mastermind behind the scenes." The shopkeeper raised his beard and said.
"Oh, by the way, the Holy Aunt has a letter for me to give to you." Yu Chong said and took the letter to the king's shopkeeper.
"Well, the Holy Aunt has given you a task." The shopkeeper said as he watched.
"What's the matter?" Yu Chong asked.
"Shenggu asked you to go to Dong Jian from the Dadong Grain Store this afternoon to bring a letter." The shopkeeper said.
"Dong Jian, the big shopkeeper of Da Dong Grain Store? Can he see me? Yu Chong said curiously.
"You take this golden hairpin, Dong Jian should see you, and you come over with your ears."
"Oh, what?"
"You heard him right, just tell him as it is, and don't mention anything else." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.
Yu Chong was very puzzled, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he went back.
This grain and rice street was on the way back to his shop at Hengrui Pawnshop, and Yu Chong saw that there were crowds, so he followed.
Everyone's attention was in the direction of Da Dong Grain Store, and Yu Chong grabbed a person and asked, "What are the big guys looking at?" ”
"You don't know yet, the city lord has ordered the Dadong grain store to close for rectification, and the price of grain has dropped and risen a few days ago, making it impossible for the people and farmers in the city to survive."
"Really?" Yu Chong asked.
"There's a notice over there, go check it out."
Since the third day of the first month of June, the Dadong grain store has openly manipulated prices, bought grain and rice at a low price and sold it at a high price, not thinking about the work of the people in the city. In addition, the Dadong grain store continued to collect loose agricultural grain and rice at today's price of 750 Wen and one stone for ten days, and paid a fine of 100,000 taels of silver, and the city lord Chi Qingzhao.
"Black-hearted merchants should be punished, disrupt the market price, and make it impossible for people to buy cheap rice."
"It's really painful, and it deserves it."
Yu Chong smiled knowingly.
On the eastern outskirts of the city, by the Youyang River.
"My lord, you have to be the master of the villain, this Wei Chiqing is openly going against you." It was Dong Jian from this big Dong grain store who spoke.
"Waste, did I let you rise and fall so fast, although you can control the grain and rice in the whole southern twilight city, but now when the time is not ripe, do you want me to openly oppose his little third son, who will applaud the people in the city." Yu Chihao scolded angrily.
"Yes, yes, they are all villains, greedy for money, 100,000 taels of silver is nothing, but it really takes 750 Wen to collect for ten days, the villain must not go bankrupt, and the adult has to save the villain." Dong Jian pleaded.
"Father, don't scare Boss Dong anymore," Wei Chihong turned around, "Father hates iron but not steel, and some wrists can be used, but don't be so obvious, Boss Dong obviously wants to make a handful of silver from this, but stealing chickens can't make rice." ”
"Yes, yes, it's all villains who are short-sighted."
"One more thing, I received news in the morning that your rice is poisonous?" Wei Chihong asked.
"It's a bad villain, how can I, a big Dong grain store, be poisoned for so many years, and it's boring." Dong Jian explained.
"Hong'er, I know all about this, eighty percent of it was the third son who got in the way, I didn't tell Dong Jian that he wouldn't do it, you go down first, reflect on it, don't be greedy for money and mislead me."
Dong Jian lowered his head and walked away.
"Wei Chiqing asked the boss to be the chief supervisor of the city to rectify this big Dong grain store, and secretly sabotaged our relationship with the Hezun Sect, he started faster than we thought, father."
"What's the hurry, it's all in the father's chessboard, no one can jump out, does his junior son think that this can stop our alliance with Gao Zhi, not only with Gao Zhi, if necessary, I will unite the boss and the sophomore, and drive him off the stage first."
"Father, this joint Gao Zhi is better, after all, he is helping us outside the Southern Twilight City, this Wei Chi Song and Yu Chi Ze are both eyeing the position of this city lord, we still have to guard against them."
"Hong'er, you have grown up, it is good not to cooperate blindly, if it is all under your control, you will not use them to achieve your own goals." Yu Chihao said confidently.
"In that case, Hong'er will also use it to the end."
"Come with your ears." Yu Chihao said.
"It's really all in my father's plan." Wei Chihong's tense face gradually relaxed.
After reading the notice, Yu Chong walked to his shop.
"Brother Chong, there is a lady from the official family who has come to choose spices, you can come and take a look."
Yu Chong fixed his eyes and saw that it was the official lady from before who came with Juxiang.
Yu Chong was a little surprised, stabilized his mind and said, "Ah Fu, look at the tea." ”
"Miss, sit in the attic, and invite the two of them to the attic."
"Yu Chong, your trip is quite smooth." Miss Guanjia asked.
"Isn't it your ......" was about to speak, Ah Fu came up to deliver tea, Yu Chong asked Ah Fu to go down to guard, and said, "It's your master who is behind the ghost." ”
"Hahaha," the silver bell-like laughter sounded again, "the master saw that your plan was quite appropriate, so he pushed the flames with his backhand, which can be regarded as a warning to them, we know everything, don't do things behind our backs." ”
"But miss, you didn't say anything in advance, and you almost put me in." Yu Chong said unhappily.
"Don't call me Miss in the future, call me Yan Ruo." Yan Ruo said with a smile.
Yan Ruo, the name is so good, Yu Chong actually forgot to be angry.
"There is one more thing, in the morning, the shopkeeper Wang asked me to give Dong Jian a message."
"What message?" Yan Ruo asked.
"I can't always help in vain, when are you going to solve the poison on my body, Lin Xian'er gave me the medicine to inhibit toxicity, and I didn't take it."
"You ghost, give him the antidote."
"Here you go, Spirit." Ju Xiang smiled and handed it to Yu Chong.
"The shopkeeper Wang said that he would pick up Mengniang at the dock three days later, and then gave me a golden hairpin." Yu Chong said.
"Dream Girl?" Yan Ruo hadn't heard of this name, so she thought it was better to report back to the master first, "Juxiang, let's go." ”
Before leaving, Ju Xiang said to Yu Chong, "If you want to find us in the future, you can go to the shopkeeper Song of Daliang Wine Shop to eat wine." ”
After the two left, Ah Fu walked up and asked, "Brother Chong, this is what you said about Miss Guanjia." ”
"Well," Yu Chong replied, "Ah Fu will get me some food in a while, and I will go to Dong Jian in the afternoon." ”
"I see, Brother Chong."
Just after the past, Yu Chong came to the Dadong grain store to find Dong Jian, the grain store was chaotic, buying grain, selling grain, and the government was everywhere, Yu Chong found one of the shopkeepers, took out the golden hairpin and said to him, "I have something important to find the shopkeeper of Dong Da." ”
Seeing Dong Jian, Yu Chong told Dong Jian in detail about the message told by the shopkeeper Wang.
Dong Jian looked Yu Chongdao up and down, "What do you call it?" ”
"Yu Chong."
"I know you, hard work." Dong Jian said and put away the golden hairpin and sent Yu Chong out of the mansion.
Outside the Golden Temple of the Southern Twilight City.
Zhai Jiang'er didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight inside, at this time Wei Chiqing was reading a book, and when he saw Zhai Jiang'er coming in in a panic, he scolded with a smile, "What can make your Commander Zhai so panicked." ”
"City Lord, Yan Ruo has sent news that Yu Chihao is going to take Mengniang back, and he will arrive at the dock in three days."
"Mengniang......" Wei Chiqing said, and the book in his hand slowly slid to the ground.
