Chapter 140: An Invitation at the Beginning of Winter

The strange coffin theft case and Mi Cangqiong's murder case ended like this, everything seemed to be predetermined, but people couldn't say anything.

The end is the end.

When the case was solved, everyone had an indescribable sense of comfort in their hearts, except for a few people.

Li Jingdao saw that he was nameless, but he knew that it was useless to continue to stay in Qiantang County, so after holding the funeral for his nephew, he took someone to Suzhou. Qian Sheng hated Su Wuming very much in his heart, but he didn't dare to take any action for a while, so he had to look for another opportunity, and before the opportunity came, he still looked at Su Wuming's horse.

Su Wuming didn't guess the thoughts of Li Jingdao and Qian Sheng, but he knew very well that as long as Li Jingdao didn't do anything illegal, he couldn't help Li Jingdao.

After the case was solved, it became colder and colder day by day, and some of the pedestrians on the street were already wearing thick clothes, and Su Wuming's shop business was better, and the goods were almost in short supply.

The demand for cloth in Qiantang County is not very large, after all, it is close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are too many shops selling cloth, and although it is the beginning of winter, it is not very cold, at least it is much warmer than in the north.

Therefore, most of the fabrics in Su Wuming's store are sold to the north, and there are more and more people coming from the north to buy goods in the past few days, and when the weather is colder, I am afraid there will be more.

And just when the business of the store was booming, Zhao Tong, the richest merchant in Hangzhou, sent Zhao Baolai, the housekeeper of his house, to buy cloth from Su Wuming's shop; Originally, it was very reasonable and normal for the buyer and seller to sell and I buy, but when Zhao Baolai was in Su Wuming's store, he said that he would buy all the spot in the store.

At that time, Su Wuming and Nangong Yan were helping in the store, so when they heard Zhao Bao say that they wanted to buy all the spots, they were very surprised, they couldn't be more clear about how much stock they had in their store, there were always thousands of pieces of cloth, and these cloths were enough to make clothes for thousands of people, but were there so many people in Zhao Tong's house?

When Zhao Bao proposed this time, Su Wuming and they inevitably felt that Zhao Tong wanted to stock up on goods, and now the weather is not very cold, and it is not very difficult to weave these cloths, but after the weather is colder, not to mention that the days have become shorter, they don't have much time to weave, even if they freeze their hands that day, it will also reduce their efficiency by not knowing how much.

When winter comes, all the merchants will produce less cloth, and won't there be less of it? And when there is less cloth, the price will naturally rise.

Now Zhao Bao wants to buy all the goods in their store, and it is difficult to guarantee that it is not for this.

It's just a business of buying and selling, and it is impossible not to sell it because others want to stock up on Juqi, Su Wuming smiled lightly, and immediately agreed, then the Zhao family was really wealthy, and after loading all the cloth in the store, he immediately took out the silver, which was worth thousands of taels.

These silvers are not fake silver that appeared in Qiantang County a few days ago, these are all genuine silver, and when Su Wuming received these silvers in their hands, they finally understood what wealth was.

These money, for Zhao Tong, may be just a drop in the bucket, Su Wuming looked at the money, and suddenly a sense of pride was born in his heart, he dreamed that one day, he would be able to do the same, no matter what he bought, he didn't have to think about it, he could buy it directly with money.

The pursuit of money by people in the world is endless, Su Wuming didn't have any feelings about money before, he felt that money was enough to spend, but now, he felt that this was not good, he felt that he had to be richer, because only in this way could he do what he wanted to do more easily.

Now, Su Wuming's store is empty, the guys in the backyard are stepping up production, and Su Wuming also wants to try stockpiling Juqi, so he asked the guys in the store to keep some of the woven cloth, so that when the weather is cold, they may make a lot of money from that batch of goods.

Originally, when Su Wuming proposed to keep the goods, Nangong Yan proposed to use the money to buy the goods in other stores, but Wen Wan'er shook her head and objected, saying: "No, most of the people who do business are very shrewd, when they see that we are in the cloth business and go to buy other fabrics, they will definitely be able to find out that they are tired, so this hoarding is not a surprise, we don't want Zhao Tong, he is the richest man in Hangzhou, buying so many cloths, it will not be reminiscent of hoarding." ”

When Wen Wan'er said this, Nangong Yan felt that it made sense, and at this time, Su Wuming suddenly had another new idea, so did Zhao Tong really want to stock up on Juqi? With his status as the richest man in Hangzhou, those goods are no longer tun, and in the end they will only make a profit of thousands of taels of silver, do they care about these thousands of taels of silver?

Perhaps, Zhao Tong wants to use those cloths to operate separately.

I thought that things would pass like this, but two days later, that Zhao Bao came again, but this time he didn't come to buy cloth, but invited Su Wuming and others to Hangzhou Zhao Mansion to get together, according to the words of their master, he Zhao Tong admired Su Wuming for a long time, and wanted to invite him to talk about it, and as for why he didn't come in person, there were two reasons, one was that Zhao Tong was too busy to be separated, and the other was that he didn't want to attract the attention of others, if he came to invite Su Wuming, it would be somewhat inappropriate for Su Wuming's reputation, After all, officials are most taboo to get too close to businessmen, because if they get closer, they will inevitably be considered as collusion between officials and businessmen.

Zhao Tong thought about it quite thoroughly, but Su Wuming was a little hesitant, he and Zhao Tong didn't have any dealings, they were just famous for each other, so Zhao Tong was looking for himself, so what was the matter?

Zhao Bao is about forty years old, his body is slightly fat, and his smile gives people a sense of innocence, he looked at Su Wuming, and seemed to have another deep meaning between his shallow smiles, so after a long time, Zhao Bao opened his mouth and asked: "I don't know if Lord Su is willing to go, if you have any concerns, please say it!" ”

Suddenly, Su Wuming discovered the true meaning of Zhao Bao buying all the cloth in their store, they were not to stock up on goods, but to eliminate Su Wuming's worries, they were worried that Su Wuming would not be invited to go, and all the goods in their store would be bought, so that Su Wuming would not have to trouble accumulating goods or dealing with those small merchants.

This Zhao Tong spent such a lot of money in order to invite himself to Hangzhou, which made Su Wuming have to be cautious, and the more cautious he was, the more interested Su Wuming became in Zhao Tong's intention to invite him to Hangzhou, and he knew very well that if he wanted to know Zhao Tong's intentions, he had to go to Hangzhou.

In the end, Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Since Boss Zhao takes care of Neiko's business so much, I really can't say that I won't go on a trip." ”

Zhao Bao was taken aback, obviously, he found out that Su Wuming knew their intention to buy the cloth, but this was no longer important, the important thing was that Su Wuming was willing to follow him to Hangzhou.

After cleaning up, Su Wuming and his party went to Hangzhou with Zhao Bao, and when they came to Hangzhou, it was already before dusk, because it was already winter, so the sky was already dark before dusk, and there were fewer pedestrians on the street.

Zhao Bao walked in front, and from time to time introduced the situation of their Zhao Mansion to Su Wuming, such as what business the Zhao family did, etc., listening to Zhao Bao's meaning, it seemed that he wanted to do business with Su Wuming, but Su Wuming knew very well that Zhao Bao or Zhao Tong would never propose to do business with himself in order to avoid suspicion.

After walking a few streets, they finally came to the Zhao Mansion, which was a very luxurious and huge mansion, Zhao Bao invited them to enter on the way, and introduced that this mansion had existed for a hundred years, and it was owned by a large family before, and twenty years ago, it was bought by their master Zhao Tong, and it was rested to become the scale it is today.

After entering the Zhao Mansion, Su Wuming and they really understood why Zhao Bao said the scale, because this Zhao Mansion can indeed be called a scale, first of all, the area, at least hundreds of acres in size, and in this hundreds of acres of land, the attic neighbors, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and water pavilions, are a lot, everywhere shows incomparable magnanimity.

They walked through the rockery, walked through the small bridge, and finally passed a winding path, and then came to the hinterland of Zhao's mansion, in this hinterland, there are many attics, the front one is the most majestic, is Zhao Tong used to entertain guests, and the rest of the back, each has a courtyard, and the layers seem to be connected to each other, walking into it, as if entering the labyrinth.

Zhao Bao led Su Wuming and others into the living room, and then hurriedly went down to invite Zhao Tong, not much, a man in his forties walked in from outside, this man is not very handsome, but there is a temperament that people can't force to look at, I think only Zhao Tong, the richest man in Hangzhou, has it.

Zhao Tong entered the living room, first saluted Su Wuming, and then sat down on the master's seat, and said, "Lord Su can come to the Humble House today, the Humble House is really full of splendor!" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Boss Zhao is polite, but I don't know why Boss Zhao invited Lord Ben to come?" ”

Zhao Tong glanced at Nangong Yan and the others first, Su Wuming saw this, somewhat understood, and said: "They are all relatives and friends of the official, if Boss Zhao has anything to say, if you really feel that you can't tell others, the official will leave." ”

Jiang Ying, Lin Yun and the others saw that Su Wuming attached so much importance to them, and a warmth suddenly appeared in their hearts, especially Jiang Ying and Lin Yun, when they came, they were ordered by the emperor to spy on Su Wuming, but Su Wuming treated the two of them like this, how could they not be moved?

After Su Wuming said that, Zhao Tong hesitated, but his hesitation was not very long.
