Chapter 1: Cooking Xiaoxian
Seeing that everyone was in a panic, President Yan's face turned dark, and he did great things and spared his life, how could this group of people be so uncontrollable, how could they achieve great things!
Before, the cowhides were blowing loudly, but now a brocade guard scare them like this, if it weren't for the backstage of his boss who valued this group of people, where would he be willing to take this group of wastes to do things together.
"Let's all go back today! We'll talk about it later! President Yan hurriedly announced the end, and he also hurried back to clarify the matter.
There was such a big thing, and the rest of the people couldn't make their own decisions, so they said goodbye one after another, and just got downstairs, but they were stopped by Xiao Er with a few strong men, "Look at the clothes you are all decent people, and you want to leave without checking out?" You can't be craving a bully meal, right? This thing gathers by like, and people by group, no wonder the Jinyi Guard will come to arrest you! ”
"Checkout?" President Yan's group of people widened their eyes when they heard this.
"Didn't Miss Lin from Jiafu settle the bill?"
Xiao Er glared and mocked loudly, "Hey, big guy, come to judge the theory, this group of people ate in the private room upstairs, and then ordered a lot of cherished spiritual food to eat and drink, and then just now this group of people recruited Jinyiwei, and was arrested by Jinyiwei Dozens of people Don't say it, now you still think that the little girl will help you settle the bill, are you embarrassed?"
A little girl didn't eat a sip of tea, she left without serving the food, and she had to settle the bill for your group of old men, everyone said that there was no reason for this! If you don't settle the account today, don't think about leaving! ”
"Good! I said, how could there be a Jinyi guard to arrest someone in person, it turned out that you provoked it! Sure enough, they are not good people, and they have to pay for a meal, which is shameless! ”
"Why didn't the Jinyi guard take them away together!"
President Yan frowned, glanced at the angry eyes cast from upstairs and downstairs, he was a decent person with a head and a face, and said with a straight face: "How much silver, say it!" ”
"Thirty-two thousand taels of silver." The shopkeeper walked up with an abacus and Shi Shiran.
"Thirty-two thousand taels!" Chairman Yan was shocked and said, "Why don't you go and rob it!" Don't you think I'm a bully! ”
"Our shop is not deceitful, just say that you ordered ten pieces of fine white soup bowls, the monkey brain soup in it, but it is cooked with the monkey brain of Jinling Mountain monkey, just one monkey brain three hundred taels is not expensive! That duck tongue soup, but the ducks that grew up in Linggu are fed only from the tip of the tongue, and a plate of duck tongue soup requires 38 duck tongues to make a dish! You Bailai people ordered several portions of these dishes, and it only cost more than 30,000 taels of silver, and you actually said that the dishes in our store are expensive! I don't blame you for attracting Jinyiwei to affect my business! The shopkeeper's face sank, and he said angrily to President Yan.
"Why didn't you say the price when I could order those dishes?" When President Yan heard that the meal had cost more than 30,000 taels of silver, he never mentioned that he had settled the bill.
"The people who can book a private room in our restaurant, will they still care about the price? Who doesn't know that our restaurant is worth the money? You don't know how to make your own buns, do you still blame me? Xiao Er shouted very dissatisfied.
"If you don't settle the account today, then I will arrest you and go to Dali Temple to sue you for escaping debts! Please redress my grievances for Lord Xiao of Dali Temple! The shopkeeper immediately beckoned a few strong men to step forward and take President Yan and the others to see the official.
"Let's check out!" President Yan saw that the situation was wrong, so he could only admit that these dishes were ordered by them, and it was obviously related to the other party daring to speak like this, of course he had no choice but to settle the bill honestly.
President Yan and his group finally scraped together a silver ticket of 32,000 taels of silver and handed it over to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper counted the silver tickets three times, and finally let them go under the disgruntled eyes of President Yan and others.
As soon as President Yan and the others went out, several tables of guests on the surrounding tables immediately got up and left, and some of the pedestrians outside hurriedly followed, street vendors, and carriages on the road all came quietly, but there was no abnormality in the eyes of others.
After all, tracking is also a technical job, not to mention just one person to follow! Constantly changing personnel so as not to be discovered by the target is the most basic!
In order to track dozens of people, understand their whereabouts, and dig out the backstage behind them, Jinyiwei dispatched thousands of people this time to perform a good show of scaring the grass and snakes!
The shopkeeper looked at their departing backs, and sighed, "I asked for 30,000 taels of silver, and they can still get it together, this group of bastards carry so many silver tickets with them, and they are so rich that they still want to collect the people's fat and ointment, and cause the people to starve, it's really damned!" ”
"The shopkeeper, Miss Lin said that it was best to detain them all and send them to Dali Temple to see the officials, so as to make things bigger! Make it known to the whole city, let this group of rice merchants be ruined, and add a fire to them to cause public anger, we can't do it, will it be ......" Xiao Er asked worriedly.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he also regretted that he only hated himself for being too petty, as long as he was only 30,000 taels! If it was because he disrupted Miss Lin's plan, would he still be able to live a good life in the future?
"The shopkeeper, our West Factory was established, and it is the time to employ people! Wang Dugong is mainly to serve the emperor, and now the big and small matters in the factory are decided by Miss Lin, we have not been able to do the task personally explained by Miss Lin this time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enter Miss Lin's eyes in the future! Xiao Er sighed.
"I'm going to find Miss Lin!"
As soon as the shopkeeper gritted his teeth, he immediately asked his subordinates to prepare the carriage, wanting to rush to Jiafu and explain to Wu Ruyi in person.
……
The strength of Jin Yiwei should not be underestimated, and it was naturally easy to monitor dozens of anxious merchants, and after confirming the forces behind the rice merchants, Luo Yangxing rushed to the palace to ask to see Yang Su non-stop.
"In other words, my nobles and ministers are involved!" Yang Su beckoned Luo Yangxing out of the mourning hall and asked as he walked.
Luo Yangxing didn't dare to conceal it, and confirmed again: "Back to the emperor, the Jinyi Wei scouts did see them enter those people's mansions with their own eyes, absolutely correct!" ”
"Concubine Liu died, I was delayed in the City God Temple for a few days before and couldn't come to worship Concubine Liu every day, it's already a big deal, tomorrow the Emperor's Mausoleum will be buried for Concubine Liu, I and the queen of the two palaces must go in person, send Concubine Liu on the last journey, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to you to deal with!" Yang Su turned his head and ordered Luo Yangxing.
"Obey the order!" Luo Yangxing immediately received the order, and reported to Yang Su for instructions: "Your Majesty, the group of rice merchants who were arrested in the prison have confessed their guilt and are willing to contribute all their family property to make up for their mistakes!" The matter is all in the emperor's planning, and the minister is ready to transport some of the grain of those rice merchants into the palace first, and then implement the emperor's strategy, causing panic among the people, so as to reduce the price of grain. ”
The people who were captured by Jinyiwei were all rice merchants with no advanced background,
"What do you think you should do with them?" Yang Su asked.
"Be punished! However, there are many followers in this matter, and some officials and nobles are all dizzy, in fact, they are all bewitched, and this matter has not yet happened, the ministers think that they can be punished with the guilt silver, and then the mastermind behind it will be arrested! Luo Yang replied.
"Pull a faction, fight a faction, this method is very good! The landlords and inferior gentry are indeed damned, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are not small, and they have something to do with many foreign teachers, they are not so active, now the court is worried about internal and external troubles, you can't act recklessly, this time you only need to cut off all their claws in the capital, and then I have my own decision! ”
Yang Su first praised Luo Yangxing, and then pointed out the shortcomings of Luo Yangxing, Yang Su's decision seems to be weak, but governing a big country is like cooking Xiaoxian. Yang Su naturally couldn't slash it with a sword like before!
"Obey the holy order, the minister will definitely do this for His Majesty!"
Yang Su patted Luo Yangxing's shoulder, and said a few words of relief before walking back to the mourning hall.
