The snake slave's movements were not unusual in the slightest, and his speed did not change in any way, and he staggered out of the alley.

During this process, Fat Mi kept staring at the snake slave until the latter disappeared at the end of the alley, and then completely relieved his suspicions, and then asked the coachman to drive the carriage and leave from the other end of the alley.

……

……

Mi Fatzi sat in a horse-drawn carriage, crossed this alley, and walked two more streets, and then took the carriage directly from the side door of a mansion covering an area of nearly 100 acres.

The location of this mansion is quite prosperous, there are many vendors on both sides of the street where the side gate is located, after the fat man carriage entered this mansion, a thin young man in front of one of the stalls turned around and glanced at the side door, and walked quickly along the wall to the street in front of the main entrance of this mansion, turned his head to take a look, there was a horizontal plaque on the top of the main entrance, which read "Chu State Mansion".

……

……

A quarter of an hour later, before Zhang Bin returned to the post house, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then he heard the sound of the tiger's head urn driving the car and said angrily: "Who are you and why did you get into our son's carriage." ”

Li Siwa smiled and said, "Get out of the way, the son is waiting for the snake slave to report something!" ”

"She's a snake slave?" The tiger scratched his head, recognized the door, and the snake slave disguised as a man got into the carriage.

"Childe, that Mi Ye has entered the Duke Mansion of Chu State." The snake slave reported directly.

"The Duke of Chu?" Although Zhang Bin expected it, he was still slightly surprised, "This Mi Ye is really just a puppet, but I didn't expect that the real head of the grain bank was actually a person from the Duke of Chu's mansion." ”

Zhao Shien, the Duke of Chu, after Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, the great-grandson of Zhao Defang, King of Qin, and the descendant of the clan family.

………

………

The Mansion of Chu State, the hall of the middle courtyard is quite lively.

Four men sit or lie on four small soft couches, each holding a cup of tea in their hands, sipping tea, surrounded by a variety of fruits and dried fruit pastries.

"News from the palace that the Son of Heaven intends to abolish the equalization law." Zhao Shien, the Duke of Chu, said lightly.

The twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man sitting on Zhao Shien's left hand shook the tea cup violently, the tea flowed on his hand, and he grinned hotly, but he still said urgently: "The fourth brother is serious." ”

The others looked equally surprised and excited.

Zhao Shien waved his hand to suppress other people's questions, and said directly: "Some people propose that the method of bidding replace the method of equal loss, and return the right to transfer and buy those major businesses to the merchants. This is an official notice sent by the Third Division to the major grain merchants in the capital, you can take a look. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Shien motioned to his subordinates to hand over an official document on the table next to him to the others.

After others saw it, Zhao Shien said: "Although our business has become bigger and bigger over the years, we have always been doing business secretly regardless of the face of the royal family, which is still a lot worse than those real big business families. For example, although the grain store in the capital has been controlled by our Chu State Mansion for more than two years, in fact, in terms of the scale of the grain business, we can only rank third in the capital, and we can grasp the position of the head of the line in our hands and make a lot of profits, mainly because those merchants are forced by the prestige of our Chu State Mansion. ”

The man who spoke first just now was named Zhao Shijiang, and he was also the great-grandson of Zhao Kuangyin's second son, Zhao Defang, who was awarded the title of Marquis of Huayin, but he didn't take what his brother Zhao Shien said to heart, and said to himself: "Fourth brother, who proposed this bidding and auction method, it's just ......."

Zhao Shien glared at Zhao Shijiang and said, "It's just something, don't you feel that the person who can think of this method is really a genius." ”

Zhao Shijiang clapped his hands and said, "That's right, this method is really wonderful." ”

Zhao Shien said: "This son is the only son of Guan Xue Zhang Zai, named Zhang Bin. ”

"Zhang Bin? Could it be that he made great contributions to the great victory of Dashun City, and was recently rewarded by the Son of Heaven. Zhao Shijiang said suddenly.

"That's right, it's ......"

Before Zhao Shien finished speaking, someone suddenly came in and whispered in his ear.

"Let him come in directly! There are no outsiders here. Zhao Shien's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It's the fat man who came, Zhang Bin found him on his head, and said that he would give him an official position, hahaha......"

"Give Mi Fat an official position? This Zhang Bin really dares to say it. Zhao Shijiang sneered.

"The Son of Heaven and how many Xiang Guilds agree?"

"Those businessmen married the daughters of our clan relatives in order to get an official name, I don't want this fat man to get an official because he is the head of the line."

"Zhang Bin is just a small character, even if the bidding and auction method is proposed by him, I am afraid that he will not be able to decide this matter."

……

The four people present are brothers, all of whom are members of the royal family of Zhao Defang, the king of Qin, and they all echoed each other, and they were full of curiosity about Zhang Bin for a while.

Mi Fatty's fat body moved in with difficulty, and respectfully saluted a group of nobles, without waiting for Zhao Shien to ask, Zhao Shijiang couldn't help but shout: "Mi Fatty, hurry up and tell us, what did Zhang Bin say to you?" ”

The fat man bowed his waist with difficulty, and said respectfully: "Back to the Hou Ye, this is how things ......"

Mi Fatzi said in detail, not daring to omit anything, the four clan relatives listened very carefully, and from time to time they also asked questions, and Mi Fatzi bowed down to answer.

But before the fat man finished speaking, a servant came in, holding a famous post in his hand, bowed down and said, "Grandpa, Rulinlang Zhang Bin asked someone to send a famous post." ”

The audience was suddenly silent, the fat man's face became pale, his body fluttered, and he fell directly to the ground, he remembered the thin merchant in the alley.

"Damn, this fat man was seen by that Zhang Bin and sent someone to follow him." Zhao Shien's expression was solemn. The royal clan is doing business secretly, even if the Son of Heaven knows about it, he will turn a blind eye, but if the clan is in control of the grain line of the Jingshi, then this matter will be serious if it becomes serious.

Because, at any time, a country's food is related to the lifeblood of the country.

If this head of the line is just a businessman, the Son of Heaven and the prime minister, and even the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, no one will take it seriously, but if this head of the line, and even the entire grain line, is controlled by a royal clan...... And when there is no heir under the knee of the son today, if this matter is known to the courtiers, the impeachment of suspicion of ill-intentioned and treasonous will follow, and if it is not done well, it will be a disaster of killing and extermination.

This is also Zhao Shien's request that Mi Fatzi not come to see him in person as much as possible, and even if he wants to come, he must follow the private route arranged in advance.

It's a pity that although Mi Fatzi is cautious enough, he has met Zhang Bin, a fox who is a second-generation man, and there happens to be a top spy like a snake slave under his command, so he can only admit it.

"Fourth brother, I sent someone to kill that Zhang Bin." Zhao Shijiang gritted his teeth and said, his face was murderous.
