Chapter 45: Cheap and Obedient

"That's enough," Li Shimin shouted, "I will give you time to explain, tell me what is going on." ”

"The matter is very simple, Cui Fu sent someone to smash my shop, and Wuhou Wei didn't see anyone from beginning to end, so I smashed it back. That's it. ”

"We should smash your shop, why did you smash our shop?"

Zhou Jinyan was a little stunned, "You should smash my shop?" ”

Wu Cheng took out a contract from his arms, "You sell our Cui family's things in your store without authorization, and it's light to smash it." Look at what is written on this? ”

Zhou Jinyan felt that things were not so simple, so he hurriedly took them.

When I saw it, I was a little dumbfounded.

It is clearly written in black and white on the paper, all the rocking chairs and similar products are from the Cui family, and no one can sell rocking chairs without the authorization of the Cui family.

Violators will be punished as a crime by smashing the shop, or by sealing the shop and arresting people.

Wu Cheng sneered: "Did you see it?" Zhou Jinyan, we do things in an upright manner, and you indiscriminately smash and hurt people, which is a big crime. Now how do you explain it? ”

Zhou Jinyan handed the paper to the chamberlain, "Your Majesty, the Easy Chair was created by me, and his Cui family stole the results, I hope Your Majesty will learn from it." ”

What Li Shimin understood was that Zhou Jinyan sold the Cui family's things, and then was smashed by the Cui family.

Zhou Jinyan took someone back and injured someone.

But now it suddenly dawned on him that things were not so simple.

The day before yesterday, his little sister, Princess Tao Li Danyue, was still holding a piece of paper and asked him to stamp it.

Li Danyue rarely begged him, so Li Shimin also glanced at it casually, and saw that it was a business matter, so he didn't ask too much, and generously stamped it.

Looking at it now, isn't it the piece of paper in front of you?

He took it and immediately understood.

He had seen the free chair, so he naturally knew that it was made by Zhou Jinyan, and the rocking chair of the Cui family was only afraid of imitation.

Now it's a thief shouting to catch a thief, and the key is that this thief is still the princess of Guantao who he feels indebted.

Li Shimin scratched his head.

Zhou Jinyan is definitely right, but Li Danyue is not wrong either.

The jade seals are all covered, what can be wrong?

It was him who was wrong, and he was fooled by his little sister in a daze.

In the study, there was some silence for a while.

Li Shimin was embarrassed inside and out, and wanted to ask Zhou Jinyan to take a step back, but he couldn't say it.

Zhou Jinyan took a step forward, and the eldest grandson Chong would definitely bite to death.

Thinking of this, he glared at Changsun Chong fiercely.

The eldest grandson shrunk his neck, startled.

Zhou Jinyan saw Li Shimin's hesitation, and suddenly figured out his dilemma.

After hesitating, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this free chair and rocking chair, the Cui family said that his family created it first, and I said that I created it first. ”

"Oh," Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he glanced at him appreciatively, and said with a smile: "You say, what can be done?" ”

Wu Cheng was dumbfounded, the contract clearly stipulates that both the rocking chair and the free chair belong to his Cui family.

As soon as Zhou Jinyan said this, didn't it mean that the contract was invalid?

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Cheng shouted, "I ......"

"Shut up!"

Li Shimin glared at him fiercely.

Wu Cheng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a puff, prostrate on the ground and didn't dare to speak.

Eldest Sun Chong also reacted at this time, and looked at Zhou Jinyan deeply.

Zhou Jinyan ignored the two of them, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, my Zhou Ji sells a free chair, and his Cui family sells a rocking chair, who is authentic, I will know by comparison." ”

"Oh, what's the comparison?" Li Shimin became interested.

"Make an authentic chair for each one, whoever is good will be authentic."

"Naturally, it's my Cui family's good." Wu Cheng couldn't help but mutter.

"Which one is good and which one is not, I suggest that the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs evaluate it." Zhou Jinyan said loudly: "Whoever is good is authentic, and this contract, if it is good, it will belong to whom." ”

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, although this calculation was calculated, but it also gave him the right to fight pirates.

Moreover, Li Shimin could only agree.

Li Shimin nodded and asked Wu Cheng, "What do you think?" ”

When was the Cui family afraid of this kind of thing?

Wu Cheng blushed excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accept his challenge." But the minister has one condition. ”

"You say."

"If Zhou Jinyan loses and proves that this rocking chair belongs to my Cui family, what should I do with him?"

Li Shimin was furious in his heart, and looked at Wucheng with burning eyes.

The eldest grandson Chong smiled bitterly and pulled Lawu City.

Wu Cheng was puzzled and looked at him blankly.

"Your Majesty, since there is a competition, you have to ask for a lottery, and I agree with the opinion of the military steward."

This thing is not good for your kid, Li Shimin was very puzzled: "Are you sure? ”

"Sure!"

Zhou Jinyan nodded.

"Okay," Li Shimin said lightly: "Wucheng, what conditions do you have?" ”

"If our Cui family wins, our Cui family's printing shop and furniture shop will take over completely, and Zhou Jinyan will never be able to do business again."

Business only.

Li Shimin bowed slightly, and looked at Zhou Jinyan, "What conditions do you have?" ”

"It's simple," Zhou Jinyan smiled slightly, "If I win, I want all the Cui family's stores in Chang'an to belong to me." ”

The eldest grandson chong gasped, this kid dared to think.

Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "Wucheng, what do you think?" ”

"No, resolutely no," Wu Cheng said hurriedly: "The conditions are not equal, I don't agree." ”

Zhou Jinyan said coldly: "Are you weak-hearted? If you are sure that the free chair belongs to your Cui family, why don't you dare? ”

"Although our Cui family won't lose, there is no need for me to bet with you."

The Cui family has twenty or thirty shops in Chang'an, and the Zhou family only has two.

Li Shimin had the intention of helping Zhou Jinyan, "That's it, if you win, your Cui family's shop will be divided into ten for him." ”

"Whoa." Wu Cheng had a bitter face, so he could only agree.

"Let's go down." Li Shimin glanced at the three of them, "I would like to stay." ”

After Changsun Chong and Wucheng left, Li Shimin stared at Zhou Jinyan for a while, and suddenly sighed: "Your kid's performance today is much better than that of Changsun Chong." ”

"The matter of Zhou Cui's family, why did he come?"

Li Shimin scolded with a smile: "Your kid's heart is like a mirror, pretending to be confused with me? ”

Zhou Jinyan snorted.

Li Shimin picked up the contract and said: "When I stamped this contract, I didn't figure out what a rocking chair was, this time, it was you who was wronged, and when the matter passed, I will compensate you well." ”

"Your Majesty, sooner or later we will be a family, I don't think Your Majesty needs to be so polite." Zhou Jinyan got cheap and sold well.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "You kid is very cunning, tell me, how sure are you of winning this competition?" ”

"Ten percent!"
