At the beginning of the meeting, in the first round of points, as expected, the performance of Datang talents was really unsatisfactory, basically, in the three countries, they all belonged to the bottom of the existence.

Probably unwilling to look directly at this miserable situation, after the first day, the enthusiasm of the people in Chang'an was significantly reduced. In addition, there are many people coming and going in Chang'an these days, and many traders did not go to watch the Wenhui in order to make money.

Therefore, compared to the past, the streets are also very lively.

"You don't know how arrogant the talents of Qin and Han have been in the past few days. Hum! It simply doesn't take us seriously. ”

"Hey...... Who can blame that, our Datang Wendao has always been like this. ”

"Yes, it just depends on whether anyone in the top ten can win the top spot, if our Datang wins the top spot, then everything will be earned."

"Huh! If you want me to say, it's hard! Look at Yang Zijian of the Han Kingdom, after coming to Chang'an, he picked many of our talents in a row, and clamored all day long to compare poems with Mo Fei. Originally, the big guy was holding his breath in his heart, but the top of our literary club was good, and he shrunk his head like a turtle, so he didn't dare to fight. ”

"Aren't you afraid?"

Mo Fei and Li Yanqi were walking on the road, and the audience sighed for a long time, and Li Yan glanced at him narrowly.

Mo Fei shrugged helplessly and went to the restaurant with Li Yanqi.

The private room of the restaurant was booked in advance, and the two of them went in, and in the private room next to them, sat Zhou Papi and Yipinxuan's crooked mouth shopkeeper.

The crooked mouth shopkeeper met with Zhou Papi, first greeted politely for a long time, and then, warmly called him brother and brother, and talked about interesting things in Chang'an.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The two burped and chatted a few words.

Zhou Papi knocked the melon seeds on the table and said, "Today, why did you think of inviting me to dinner?" ”

The crooked shopkeeper smiled and said: "Brother Zhou smiled, you and I have known each other for a long time, and it is really necessary to move around a lot." It's just that...... In the past, I was in charge of Yipinxuan under the name of the second prince, and I was entangled in many things, so I didn't dare to slack off. ”

"Hehe, that's right. You're on the fly. ”

The crooked shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Where there is." But the joy was beyond words, and then, he poured a glass of wine and said tentatively: "Brother Zhou, I think you must have heard that this time the Qin merchants who went to Chang'an swept the tea of the entire Chang'an. Nowadays, there is not much tea left in Chang'an City. Even our Yipinxuan and tea ceremony shop don't have much tea left. ”

"I've also heard about this, and the price of tea in Chang'an City is now three times as much as before. Gee! A few days ago, there was a delay in the house, so I didn't participate in the trading of Qin merchants, and now I have to be free, but I have to think about how to connect with them. ”

When the crooked shopkeeper heard this, his heart blossomed, and he hurriedly smiled: "Brother Zhou, why don't you resell the tea from your house to me." ”

When Zhou Papi heard this, his eyes flickered, and he was embarrassed: "This ...... I'm afraid not, hey! You also know that it takes at least half a month for Chang'an tea merchants to transport tea. When our Zhou Mansion came to Chang'an by Qin merchants, we happened to get a batch of tea. Now that the price of tea is so expensive, if I take it out myself, it will be better than selling it to you. You let me sell it to you, and you sell it at a high price, what do you think...... It's not a good deal! Hehe...... It's not kind! ”

"Brother Zhou, I also know that this matter is a bit difficult. However, you must know that our Yipinxuan is an industry under the name of the second prince. I will buy your tea with the price given by Qin Shang now, if it is done, you will be equivalent to the second prince.

What's more, the second prince has the support of the Leng family behind him, and he is very likely to be the emperor in the future. Think about it, in the future, you will have the second prince covered, in Chang'an, wouldn't you sit back and relax? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Papi fell into deep thought, and hesitantly picked up the wine glass.

The crooked mouth shopkeeper saw that there was a play, and said: "Brother Zhou, you can know that the sister-in-law of the north moon in the city." ”

Zhou Papi's eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Are you talking about the first ugly girl in Chang'an?" ”

"Exactly." The corners of the crooked shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and the ugly girl who was vomited by others was avoided by others, and it was the Zhou Papi with a unique hobby in front of him that he regarded her as a treasure.

The crooked mouth shopkeeper's heart was cold, but he still smiled lewdly: "If you are willing to resell all the tea leaves to us Yipinxuan, I will not only buy it at the price given by Qin Shang, but also ...... That confinement sister-in-law, I also have a way to get it for you. ”

"Is that true?" Zhou Papi's eyes flashed with obscenity.

"Seriously."

"Okay, I'll agree to this." After agreeing neatly, Zhou Papi hesitated again: "However, we have a lot of tea in Zhoufu, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to eat just your Yipinxuan." ”

"Oh? How many? ”

"It should be worth the tea of all the merchants in Chang'an before."

"So much?"

Seeing that the crooked mouth shopkeeper looked puzzled, Zhou Pipi said: "Hehe! You know, my son is sick, and I have to take care of my daughter-in-law when she comes in. So...... Qin Shang didn't participate in the matter before. ”

The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper originally wondered how the Zhou family could have so much tea, but now listening to Zhou Papi say this, Xinzhong understands, after all, he has also heard a little about Zhou Papi.

What's more, he naturally didn't worry about the money. In fact, when he sold Yipinxuan tea, he had already negotiated with Qin Shang, and the price would be four times the price of the original tea after that. Now, the tea in Chang'an City is basically sold out, and the tea shipped to Chang'an from all over the country will have more than ten days at the earliest, and at that time, I am afraid that Qin Shang has already left.

Therefore, the tea of the Zhou family may be the last sale,

The two finalized everything, talked nonsense for a while, and left the restaurant.

In the private room over there, Mo Fei and Li Yanqi glanced at each other. Subsequently, Mo Fei said: "Mr. Ye's matter can be released, it's best to ...... Reveal the evidence to the people on the eldest prince's side as well. ”

……

Just a day after the meeting between the crooked mouth shopkeeper and Zhou Papi.

Just when the next day will be in full swing.

When Mr. Ye Gongshu was stabbed, officials from the Criminal Department found evidence. The evidence shows that the person who assassinated him was from the Southern Regions Cult, and he was Li Xiaoxian, a closed disciple of Si Kouming, the leader of the Southern Regions Cult. And the person who instructed Li Xiaoxian was the second prince. This incident was like a thunderclap on the ground, shocking the entire Chang'an. For a time, Chang'an's voice denouncing the second prince was overwhelming.

The collusion between the second prince and the cult in the Southern Regions is undoubtedly an offense against the people of Zhongzhou. What's more, the victim was Mr. Ye Gongshu, one of the four Confucian sages who had a pivotal position in Zhongzhou Wendao.

Above the court, because of a series of things targeted at the Ye family by the second prince, they broke out one after another. Ye Jingquan, the right minister who likes to be with the mud and stay out of things, finally made a move.

The Ye family is above the court, although there is only one official in Ye Jingquan, but he is the head of the hundred officials. In addition, Ye Gongshu's protégés are all over the government and the opposition, so when Ye Jingquan made a move, the Manchu Dynasty responded one after another.

Even the Leng family, considering the status of the Ye family, chose to remain silent.

The emperor comforted the Ye family with kind words, and severely reprimanded the second prince, but His Majesty the emperor, who was so shrewd, could only put the matter aside for the time being because he couldn't figure out the attitude of the Leng family.

Outside the Second Prince's Mansion, the humble shopkeeper with a crooked mouth stood at the door.

After waiting for a long time, the chief manager of the Second Prince's Mansion came out and said to the crooked-mouthed shopkeeper: "The Second Prince has ordered, these little things are up to you." Ah, this is the contract of Jing Run Xing Bank, you can take this contract and exchange the silver money. ”

"Oops! Good. The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper held the contract with both hands, and said yes in a row, and then said curiously: "Manager Liu, that ...... Second prince, he's fine. ”

Manager Liu glanced at him and said, "You should inquire, and don't inquire blindly if you shouldn't." You just have to be honest and do your errands, and don't think about it. Hum! Don't forget, as long as the Leng family is still behind the second prince, even if a catastrophe comes, the second prince will ...... Standstill. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The villain knew that he was wrong, and the villain retired first. ”

Mr. Liu's nostrils were facing the sky, and he snorted with no one in his eyes: "Hmm." After speaking, he walked towards Fuzhong.

The crooked-mouthed shopkeeper trotted all the way to the corner, looked back at the door of the second prince's mansion, and said hatefully: "Phew! The things raised by the son of a bitch are just a general manager, and she really regards herself as the emperor. ”

As he spoke, the crooked shopkeeper turned to look at the contract in his hand, smiled proudly, and hurriedly ran towards Jing Runxing.
