Chapter 58: Change
Originally, Du Baozhu arranged for more than a dozen storytellers to mix in the crowd, waiting for Jingzhao Mansion Yin to take the lead in coaxing when he favored Wang Debao.
Who knows, all the arrangements she made were useless, and the lawsuit was over. Fortunately, the storyteller who received the money was quite responsible, she said to change the words, and they quickly made up a set of 'Jingzhao Mansion Yin Liu Qingtian is not afraid of authority and presides over justice' by the well and under the big tree.
How many Kyoto residents don't like to listen to gossip? After a while, Du's Coupon Bank won the lawsuit, and the news that the Yufuliang voucher could be used again spread all over Chang'an City.
Liu Zhongfang listened to the staff talk about praising him on the streets and alleys, and he was so anxious that his mouth was foaming: what is he, he knows in his heart, he doesn't want to make more money when he is angry?
If you rich businessmen really believe this set of rhetoric, what should you do if you don't stuff him with silver? What about those damn civilians who begged him for help over something as big as a sesame mung bean?
The most important thing is that whoever this prefers is at the behest of Lieutenant Tan. When this news reached the ears of Lieutenant Tan, did he not suspect that he was deliberately gaining fame?
Bad! What a bad thing! Liu Zhongfang turned around in the back office a few times, and finally couldn't sit still, so he hired a small sedan chair to find Tian Lingzi to show his loyalty.
On the side of Changle Wine Shop, it has already been crowded with customers who have learned the news, and the queue for wine has already been discharged two streets away.
Living in this imperial city where every inch of land is valuable, the people of Kyoto are all masters of careful budgeting, how can they see the truth of not taking advantage of the cheap? In just half an hour, the jade floating beam of Changle Liquor Store was redeemed.
"Shopkeeper, what should we do?" The bookkeeper of the wine store pulled the abacus: "If this situation continues, the money in the account will be lost in less than two days...... And the wine stored next to the cellar, if it is not sold, it will be sour......"
When Wang Debao's henchmen heard this, they stretched out their heads to look at the battle outside the store, and were rarely flustered and short of breath: "Why don't you go and beg Boss Sun to help?" ”
"It's useless." Wang Debao fell on the couch in a daze, his eyes straightened: "I am planted this time." ”
When he was in Jingzhao Mansion in the morning, he saw Lieutenant Tian appear, so he was relieved to go to the court. Who knows, but Lieutenant Tian suddenly left no room for him to fulfill that damn contract.
It can be seen that he has been completely reduced to a waste. Even if you ask Boss Sun to intercede, what's the use? If you can't make money for Boss Sun and Lieutenant Tian, he's not a fart!
"We can't just sit back and die, can we?" The guy was still a little unwilling, and he was about to walk out with his feet, but he almost bumped into someone.
When I looked closely, that person was the Boss Sun they had just mentioned.
Sun Fang was still dressed as a scribe, his thin and dark face was calm, and he couldn't see any expression: "What are you panicking about?" Things haven't reached a desperate situation yet, why did you give up first? ”
He was a ruthless man who had gone to sea, and the storms and waves at sea were far from imagining for those who lived inland in Kyoto. Therefore, he has developed a set of skills that do not move through the wind and rain, even his cronies Wang Debao have never seen him panicked.
As soon as Wang Debao heard his voice, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he got up: "Boss Sun!" Have you thought of a way to deal with it? ”
As he spoke, he was still a little frightened: "Lieutenant Tian personally ordered me to fulfill the contract, is there really room for a turn in this matter?" ”
"Lieutenant Tan only said to fulfill the contract, and he didn't say that you can't do some side things." Sun Fang's eyes were bright, and he seemed to smile and said: "Her contract is really tight, but it is not without breaking the law. ”
Wang Debao and the three of them looked at Sun Fang with blank eyes: "What kind of law?" ”
Sun slowed down and said, "Attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son." ”
What kind of breakdown is this? Wang Debao's head was full of questions.
As soon as Sun Fang looked at his appearance, he knew that this fool was used to relying on Tian Lingzi's prestige on weekdays, and when it was time to use a strategy, his mind was full of straw.
can't help hating that iron is not steel: "You have been checking for a long time, do you know what flaws the Du family has?" ”
Although he didn't want to admit it, Wang Debao still said honestly: "...... This Du family is a century-old family, and the family style is indeed rigorous. That Du Rangneng didn't take a concubine, and he didn't have a concubine, and the family was running a harmonious business, so what flaws were there? ”
"Idiot!" Sun Fang finally couldn't help but scold: "Du Xianquan gave birth to three sons, since you know that the Du family is harmonious, why don't you find a way from the other two?" ”
"I see!" Wang Debao slapped his thigh, and finally remembered a little inspiration: "Doesn't the Zhou lady in the second room have some business dealings with you?" The pearls in her shop are all for you to bring back! Do you want to ask her to be a lobbyist? ”
"Foolish!" Sun Fang completely gave up his plan to point Wang Debao, and said bluntly: "Zhou Niangzi's own shop can make money, why bother to make trouble with her niece for this idea?" I'm talking about the willow lady of Shengye Fang's Ming Lotus Song! ”
Wang Debao also knew Liu Niangzi, and finally reacted: "It turned out to be her!" ”
Liu Niangzi lived in Beiqu in Pingkang Li in her early years, and was a private daughter branch who was in decline, and later did not know which rich family Langjun hooked up, so she redeemed herself and moved to Shengye Fang to rent a small house to live, and also broke off contact with the former benefactor.
Wang Debao was also Liu Niangzi's pillow guest, and only then did she understand the key: "Is she the second or third room of the Du family?" ”
Sun Fang stretched out two fingers and shook them: "I have already promised her a dividend." You close the shop first, and you'll see in a few days. ”
Sun Fang's profit from a trip to sea is far higher than the profit of Changle Wine Shop for two months, but going to sea is a risky thing in the end. At the beginning, he had nothing, of course he was willing to risk his life for money. Now that his net worth is already the richest businessman in Chang'an and even in Datang, where is he willing to risk his life?
What's more, if you are shipwrecked at sea, then even the money for the ship and the goods will be wasted, how can you open a wine shop safely and make peace of mind? Therefore, he attaches great importance to Changle Liquor Store and is unwilling to give up.
As for Tian Lingzi, he doesn't have so many ideas, he is just a long wine shop, and if it collapses, it will collapse, and it will not affect the money he receives every month.
What he cares more about is the little girl named Du Baozhu.
Wang Debao can also be regarded as Sun Fang's henchman, and he has some ability to do things, but he was lured into the pit step by step by this girl, is this girl really capable, or is there Li Jie's handwriting in the middle?
He was able to climb to his current position because he was cautious, where could he let go of such a big flaw. After waiting for Li Yi to return to the palace, he hurriedly changed into civilian clothes and returned to his private residence outside the palace: "Go and bring Du Baozhu back to me." ”
Du Baozhu didn't know that the danger was approaching, she had just returned home to have lunch with Cui's family, and she was secretly hiding a food box to bring to Song Wen.
As soon as the carriage drove onto the avenue, a few people wearing Shence military uniforms suddenly rushed out of the oblique stabs, drew their swords and stopped the carriage.
"It's Du Rangneng's daughter sitting in the car, Du Baozhu?"
These people were menacing, naming names, and the groom was a little frightened, and he fell off the wheel: "A few military masters, I don't know what to do with my little lady?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" The leader kicked the groom, jumped on the wheel, and was about to pick open the curtain with his knife.
Lu Ming hurriedly stopped: "I don't know what a few military masters are looking for my little lady?" ”
A soldier ruffian who eats and waits for death is an opponent of a well-trained guard, the person was pinched by Lu Ming, and he didn't break free after two blows, and his face changed greatly: "Who are you?" The Shence Army does things, and dares to stop it? ”
"The servant is the Du family's nursing home." Lu Ming still pinched the back of the knife with two fingers, but with a smile on his face: "Master Jun, my little lady is young and afraid of life. If you don't say anything, you have to lift the curtain with your hands, won't you frighten her? ”
"Rules? Lao Tzu's military uniform is the rule! The man pulled the placket of his shirt, raised his eyes and said, "This is Lieutenant Tian's order, don't get out of the way!" ”
"It turned out to be Lieutenant Tan's man running errands." Du Baozhu understood what was going on in the carriage, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and said with a smile: "This military master wants to see if it is Du Baozhu sitting in this carriage, right?" ”
"I'm right here, has the military master recognized it?"
"Tsk," the man smacked his teeth and glanced up and down Du Baozhu not very seriously: "It's you, then come with us." ”
"Yes." Du Baozhu smiled and nodded, beckoning the groom to come back and drive.
Lu Ming couldn't help but remind Du Baozhu: "Little lady, you can't go!" ”
Other people may not know, but he has long known that Changle Liquor has Tian Lingzi's backing behind it. The little lady just dismissed Tian Lingzi's face in the morning, and Tian Lingzi's people came to the door, how could there be a good thing?
However, Du Baozhu didn't seem to understand his reminder, raised his eyes and smiled: "Lieutenant Tian is invited, if I don't go, wouldn't I not know how to lift?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Ming lowered his arm in despair.
Tian Lingzi is already covering the sky with one hand in Kyoto, and his two younger brothers are in the army, even His Royal Highness King Shou does not dare to clash with Tian Lingzi head-on, let alone Du Xiaoniang.
This Tianfu and his party can't be decided by the little lady at all.
Thinking of this, a gloom flashed on his always smiling face, and he silently followed behind the carriage, still led by the arrogant and domineering guidance of those few divine troops.
Fortunately, these people are not pretending, but real gods. Soon led them to the small door on the side of Tianfu.
Lu Ming helped Du Baozhu get out of the car, and was about to go in with him, but was stopped by one of the Shence military knives: "Lieutenant Tian only said that he wanted to see Du Baozhu, but he didn't say that he wanted to see a small miscellaneous fish." ”
This posture seems to be less auspicious. Du Baozhu pinched his palm, tried to resist the urge to touch the whip, turned his head and smiled at Lu Ming and the coachman: "In that case, you can wait for me here." ”
As he spoke, he saluted several Shence soldiers: "I'm tired of a few military masters leading the way." ”
Lu Ming saw Du Baozhu walk into the crimson door, and couldn't help but chase a few steps forward, until the crack in the door was completely closed, he woke up, turned his head and told the coachman: "You guard here, I'll go find someone to help." ”
Without waiting for the coachman to reply, he ran towards the Ruyi Tea Shop without looking back.
"Du Baozhu was invited by Tian Lingzi?" Li Jie's hand holding the teacup trembled.
A few drops of hot tea fell on the back of his hand, but he was unconscious, only the slight sparkle of his eyes flickered.
