Xiao Chen continued to hide among the flowers and trees, eavesdropping on the conversation between the master and servant. (. Purple Pavilion)

The fat man's surname is Qi, and he is a well-known wealthy businessman from near and far, known as Master Qi. He was originally the largest partner of the Lin family business group in the imperial capital, but I don't know why this time, the Lin family's goods were not sold to him, and the return goods purchased did not pass through the hands of the Qi family business house.

The lewd man was about to kneel down for his master: "Master Qi, you must think of a way to dredge up and rescue my brother, I am such a brother." ”

Qi Fatzi glared: "How to dredge, they were captured by the Ouchi guards, do you think I really have hands and eyes to the sky, the people of Shuntianfu can sell me a little face, and the Ouchi guards can be accessed by people like you and me?"

Seeing the disappointment on his subordinates' faces, Qi Fatzi said again: "You don't have to worry too much, isn't it just a leaflet, they can be said to have come from passers-by, this is what the errand should do." The Ouchi guards are also human beings, and they must also be reasonable and make the king's law, so it is impossible to convict people casually, and then disregard people's lives. ”

The lewd man said in his heart, didn't what we did before just find an errand to convict the Lin Clan's merchant group, plus now it is the sensitive-sensitive period, God knows if the emperor will have issued an order to severely punish the people who talk about the Blood Shadow Hall.

Qi Fatzi continued: "It's okay, put your heart in your stomach, it will definitely be fine." ”

said that it was okay, but in my heart I was extremely sad. It was originally a sure-fire deal, but now it's good, the deal smashed and people were arrested, and it would be okay to say that those guys were killed by the Ouchi guards, but if they came out alive, could they not come over and ask for compensation?

Don't look at the officials who are not big, but they are all masters who eat people and don't spit out bones, thinking of this, Qi Fatzi felt a pain in his flesh.

In the evening, Xiao Chen came to the hotel where he had made an appointment with Lin Hongyi, and Lin Die was also there, she didn't wait for him to sit down, so she asked impatiently: "Chen Gongzi, have you found any new clues?"

The little marquis nodded and said, "I found it, how could I not find it if I came forward." Shopkeeper Lin, there is a Qi Mansion two blocks away from the market, do you know?"

Lin Hongyi's eyes widened: "Of course I know, what you mean is that the servants framed the messengers, and the mastermind behind the scenes is surnamed Qi." ”

"That's right, it's him. ”

Lin Hongyi slapped the table: "This hateful Qi fat man, thanks to my cooperation with him for many years, and I also introduced him as a confidant, I didn't expect him to harm me!"

It turned out that the Lin business group and Qi Fatzi were partners, and every time Lin Hongyi came to the imperial capital with goods, Qi Fatzi would eat a large part of it, and the relationship between the two was very good, so Lin Hongyi would make some concessions every time.

But in the past two years, he found that every time Qi Fatzi gave a price lower than the normal level, coupled with the habitual concessions, Lin Hongyi's profits were compressed less. Moreover, every time the return goods are purchased, Qi Fatzi's quotation is higher than others, and the quality is not necessarily the best.

Because he pressed all his net worth this time, Lin Hongyi kept an eye on it, and he sent someone to the imperial capital in advance to inquire about the prices of various goods.

Sure enough, after reading the goods brought by the merchant group, Qi Fatzi was full of praise, and immediately gave a quotation, which was one percent lower than the market price, and the price of the return goods to be sold to Lin Hongyi was one percent higher.

In this way, Qi Fatzi can earn an extra two percent.

Of course, Lin Hongyi is not stupid, friendship is friendship, and trading is business, while he refused to sell the goods to Qi Fatzi, he also refused to purchase goods from the Qi family.

Qi Fatzi thought that Lin Hongyi was so foolish, and in order to make himself stand on the height of morality, he let out words on the spot, if he didn't eat this batch of goods, others would not be able to eat it at all.

As a result, the Lin family's goods sold surprisingly well, and more than eighty percent were sold in just a few days.

Then came the news that Lin Hongyi bought the return goods at a lower price, he couldn't sit still, but at this time, no matter what he did, it was irreparable, and he was angry and gave birth to a vicious idea - to blame.

After listening to Lin Hongyi's analysis, Xiao Chen frowned and said, "I really didn't expect Qi Fat Man to be such a person, Shopkeeper Lin, since you already know that it is behind him who is doing the ghost, what are you going to do?"

Lin Hongyi is a very pure businessman, insisting on the creed that buying and selling is not benevolent and righteous, he didn't expect that Qi Fatzi, who has cooperated for many years, would harm himself, but fortunately, there is no danger.

He said: "Forget it, anyway, Qi Fat didn't take any advantage, knowing that he is such a person, it is okay not to deal with him in the future." ”

The little marquis was a little disappointed, because in his opinion, a man should be happy to take revenge, not have the kindness of a woman, and if the enemy can harm you once, he will harm you a second time. Blindly withdrawing will not make the other party feel any gratitude, but will become more intense.

Especially a local snake like Qi Fatzi, unless your Lin family business group does not come to the imperial capital in the future and will no longer deal with him for the rest of your life, he will definitely harm you.

But after all, he is an outsider, and since Lin Hongyi doesn't want to entangle with Qi Fatzi, it's useless to talk more.

When you are full of wine and food, you leave the restaurant.

When he was about to walk to the inn, the more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more he felt bad in his heart, although Qi Fatzi harmed Lin Hongyi and had nothing to do with him, but this kind of person is too hateful, if he doesn't know, forget it, since he knows that it is not a small punishment, how can he do it.

He quickly returned to his room, changed into a black night suit, and quietly went to Qi Mansion.

When he sneaked into the garden, he saw several people coming out with leftovers, and one of them said, "What's the matter with the master, my appetite is so poor, I only ate two bowls of porridge, three steamed buns and one hoof, which is usually at least twice as much." ”

"I heard that the old man is in a bad mood. ”

The little marquis is right away in his heart, your sister's two bowls of porridge, three steamed buns and one hoof, and it is called a bad appetite.

In the room, Qi Fat Man was sitting at the dining table and drinking tea, thinking of the day's events, he became more and more angry, and reached out and slapped the table: "Someone!"

Immediately, a little servant ran in from outside and asked respectfully, "Master, what do you order?"

He frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the kitchen, prepare supper after an hour and a half, remember to cook a few more dishes, the master is in a bad mood today." ”

"Huh?" the little guy was almost dumbfounded, he hadn't heard of having a supper when he was in a bad mood.

"Ah, what, hurry up!" said Qi Fat Man impatiently.

"Yes!"

The little marquis outside couldn't help but say a word: "Pig!"

"Pig ......"

I go, how did I say it, and how could there be such a big echo?

He was startled, and suddenly frowned, no, what kind of echo is it, it was obviously a female voice, and it came from the corner of the wall more than ten meters away from the east.

A leaf martial spirit immediately floated over, and sure enough, it was a girl, and he was not a stranger.

That's right, it was Lin Die, the eldest lady of the Lin family's business group.

He was happy, it seems that the person who can't swallow that bad breath is not only me, but I don't know how this eldest lady will punish Qi Fat.

Not to mention, I'm really looking forward to it.
