I saw that outside the gate of the Earl's Palace, many people gathered here, forming a large circle around the Earl's Palace.

Judging from the good clothes on their bodies, many of them are graceful and luxurious, well-known wealthy businessmen everywhere.

Li Yi couldn't help but wonder, and muttered to himself, "A group of businessmen, what are you doing in front of my mansion?" ”

He couldn't figure it out.

Li Lizhen and Du Xiaomei also didn't understand and didn't know what was going on.

With doubts, Li Yi opened the car door.

Get out of the car and come to the front of the mansion.

The businessmen who were originally gathered at the door of the mansion, waiting for Li Yi to appear, caught a glimpse of Li Yi's figure appearing, and immediately came back to their senses, bowed to Li Yi and said, "The villain has seen the uncle." ”

"No need to be polite." Li Yi waved his hand, looked at the group of people, narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you looking for me?" It's all blocked at the door of my house? ”

"Ahem," a group of businessmen coughed in embarrassment.

After all, there are so many of them, and it is indeed a little unreasonable to surround them outside the gate of the Earl's Palace.

I don't know what happened to cause such a big posture.

"Please also forgive me for the presumptuousness of the villain and others."

Seeing this, the first businessman immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and said sincerely, "Uncle, we are here today to discuss a deal with Uncle. ”

"Exactly, uncle." Another businessman echoed it.

Seeing this, Ah Lai, who was guarding the door, immediately walked quickly to Li Yi's side and told Li Yi everything that had happened.

Li Yi suddenly came over at this time.

It turned out that these businessmen came because of the report in the "Chang'an Daily" and wanted to start a jewelry business.

Li Yi looked at them, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please go back, I have never done business, how can I buy and sell?" What shall I bring to you to talk to? ”

Li Yi naturally would not agree to them.

With the big brother Zheng An here, where do you still need their group of people?

Besides, as far as they are, can they have Zheng An's foundation!

Li Yi is not blind.

I don't know where they got the news, but they all blocked the door of the mansion.

Li Yi believes that this is definitely not groundless.

Moreover, even if there is a report on the "Chang'an Daily", it also shows that in the world of Datang, only the Zheng family shop is genuine.

They came to them rashly, and someone was definitely fanning the flames in secret.

Therefore, it is even more impossible for Li Yi to let them get the deed for the sale of jewelry from their hands.

"Uh......" Hearing Li Yi's direct refusal, he didn't even think about it for a moment, and all the businessmen were a little stunned for a moment.

It was precisely because they saw the report in the "Chang'an Daily" that they didn't know who leaked the rumor and said that Li Yi was in charge of the diamond ring, so they came to find Li Yi.

But now, Li Yi found it, but told them that he had not done business?

This is very speechless.

"Could it be that Uncle is afraid that our people will not give him enough benefits, so he refused?"

"It's very likely!"

"After all, the price of a diamond ring is too expensive, and the profit in it is absolutely high!"

The businessmen nodded to each other and exchanged words silently, and immediately someone stepped forward and whispered in Li Yi's ear, "Uncle, let's divide the profits fifty-fifty, you don't need to pay, Uncle, what do you think?" ”

Li Yi's face turned pale on the spot, stared at the businessman with righteous words, and said resolutely, "I said just now, I have never done business, what a fifty-five, I am not a businessman!" ”

refused without the slightest face, and even raised his voice a little.

Li Yi continued at this time, "That diamond ring, but I bought it from Zheng An, if you want to do business, go and discuss with Zheng An, what's the use of telling me?" ”

Throwing down this sentence, Li Yi entered the mansion with his back hand.

Du Xiaomei and Li Lizhen hurriedly followed, Li Yi walked to the door, and directly ordered Ah Lai, "Ah Lai, if they are still surrounded in front of the mansion, report to the official Yongzhou Mansion for me!" ”

"Yes, Childe." Ah Lai immediately nodded, swung his body, and said, "Let's leave as soon as possible, lest I report to the official, and everyone will be ugly." ”

"......" A group of businessmen looked at Ah Lai in astonishment, and then looked at Li Yi, who had already entered the mansion, feeling a little unrefreshed.

It wasn't until the figure had disappeared in front of them that they suddenly came over.

"Let's ...... Let's go. A businessman proposed, turning his head to look at everyone, "By the way, who just said that as long as we come to the Earl's Palace, the uncle will be able to do diamond ring business with us?" ”

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The merchants swept their eyes and saw a man who was about to leave secretly, but he was a step too slow.

"Catch Him !!" There was a voice on the spot.

When the man saw this, he immediately slipped away without hesitation.

If this group of people is caught, he knows very well what the consequences will be waiting for him.

Originally, he just wanted to make a coax in secret.

Once Li Yi agreed to these people, then he could sue the officials in a straightforward manner.

After all, Datang's laws stipulate that all officials are not allowed to participate in business transactions.

And doing business, in the eyes of the Tang people, has always been a vulgar livelihood.

Even if Li Yi is a colt, once he participates in the sale, then he will naturally have no official titles, and it will also bring shame on the royal face.

Think about it, throughout the ages, what royal child would be willing to marry a businessman?

The status of a merchant is extremely low.

Isn't this lowering Li Shimin's face!

But to his disappointment, Li Yi directly refused, and said that if these businessmen were entangled again, they would report to the official to deal with it.

So, the man prepared to flee.

It's just that he didn't expect that this group of businessmen was not stupid, and after being silent for a while, he remembered him.

But at this moment, a figure fell from the sky and stood in front of the man, blocking his way.

The man looked up and suddenly said that something was wrong.

The person who came was Li Yi's personal son.

"Still want to run?"

Er squinted, kicked the man coldly, kicked him directly to the ground, and shouted coquettishly, "Dare to slander my son-in-law casually, send it to the government for investigation!" ”

The "......" man was immediately in pain, and his eyes were full of stars.

This woman is too fierce, she doesn't know the severity of her shot...

"That ......" endured the pain coming from his body, gritted his teeth, and the man wanted to defend himself, "It's not me, you caught the wrong person, this lady." ”

"Really?" Er squinted and smiled, looked at the group of businessmen chasing behind him, and asked, "Did this person tell you that my son-in-law is in the diamond ring business?" ”

"Uh...... Yes, that's what he told us! ”

The merchants quickly stopped and nodded in fear, and they were also frightened.

Who would have thought that they were praying mantis catching cicadas, but Ke'er was behind the yellow finch.

By the way, I also caught the people who spread rumors.

Seeing this, Er immediately shouted, "Ah Lai, come and arrest him and send him to the government for investigation." ”

"Yes, lady." Ah Lai immediately brought the big man, detained the man, and sent him directly to Yongzhou Mansion.

At this time, Er looked at the merchants and the others, "If you want to do business, go to Zheng An, my son-in-law's diamond ring was bought from him." And the diamond ring produced in Lantian County is not my son-in-law's. ”

After throwing down these words, he left everyone and went straight home.

Only then did Shang Jia and the others understand what they said.

"So let's ...... Do you still want to find Zheng An? Some businessmen asked everyone weakly.

"Looking for a fart! I didn't listen to it in vain, there are words in people's words, this diamond ring belongs to the royal family! ”

"Then let's go for nothing?"

"Or what do you think?"

One by one, the merchants left each other as they spoke.

It's just that the route they left was invariably towards the Zheng family's shop.

The pace of leaving is faster than the other.

Looks like I'm afraid I'm going to be a step slower...

……

Inside the Earl's Court.

Li Yi heard Er's report, and at the same time put down the "Chang'an Daily", and then nodded with satisfaction.

"I'll just say, this matter will definitely not be groundless, obviously it has been published in the "Chang'an Daily", and you dare to come to me openly? It's not that someone is messing around behind it, so what's that? ”

Li Yi didn't expect that the sensation caused by this diamond ring was quite big.

There are even people who take this opportunity to come and set him up.

I have to say that Li Yi felt that Du Ruhui's words to him were still very effective.

is worthy of being a long-time minister in the court, looking at things so Zhan before.

However, since it has been decided to send it to Yongzhou Mansion, then the next step is none of his business.

has Yang Gongren and others, who will secretly call the shots.

"By the way, what are the results of the students in the academy?" Li Yi looked at Xiang'er and asked.

"I don't know yet, Childe." Shaking his head, "No one has sent the results yet." ”

Li Yi nodded, and no longer cared about this matter.

Anyway, whether it can be done or not depends on their creation.

After all, this imperial examination is a bit difficult.

Then, Li Yi went to take a nap.

At this time, the Zheng family shop.

Zheng An was leisurely drinking tea and enjoying a rare leisure time, when he suddenly saw a group of people rushing towards the Zheng family's shop.

"Lang Jun." Uncle Zheng hurriedly shouted, "Merchants from all over the world are coming to our shop." ”

"I see it." Zheng An frowned, got up and said, "I'll go and see what the situation is." ”

Uncle Zheng immediately followed.

at the doorway.

One by one, the businessmen all smiled at each other, came to Zheng An, bowed, and said with a smile, "Zheng Langjun, the villain and others have something to discuss with Lang Jun, I don't know if Lang Jun is free?" ”

"What's the matter?" Zheng An said indifferently.

"It's about jewelry." A businessman said with a smile, "I don't know Zheng Langjun, are you willing to join us?" ”

"Jewelry?" As soon as he heard everyone's words, Zheng An shook his head and smiled, "I'm sorry, I can't be the master of this matter." ”

“？？？” You can't be the master?

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Zheng An said directly, "This matter was ordered by the official family to let me wait for the sale, if you also want to operate the diamond ring, go to the official family." ”

"......" all the businessmen were speechless for a moment.

Sure enough, in front of interests, they are all ruthless guys.

"Ahem, Zheng Langjun, we just want to share your pressure, don't be in a hurry to refuse like this." There are businessmen who don't give up.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it." Zheng An directly refused.

The profit of this jewel is not a minority, so why should he share the benefits with these people?

Zheng An is not stupid.

Seeing this, the businessmen were still a little unwilling, "That, Zheng Langjun, we are from the Earl's Palace." ”

“？？？” Zheng An was stunned for a moment, looked at everyone, and suddenly became stunned.

It's even more impossible for him to agree.

"I'm sorry, guys." Zheng An shook his head and said, "Even if you come from the palace, it's useless, without the Holy Decree, I can't be the master of this matter, if you don't buy something, then please go back!" ”

"Uncle Zheng, send off!" Zheng An directly ordered the eviction of customers.

Before, when they were planning a jewelry store with Li Yi, they had thought that there would be many people who would be moved, so as long as they took out the saint, they could solve everything.

The businessmen were very helpless, so they had to sigh and leave.

This trip to the capital, they came completely in vain...
