Chapter 110: It's not over yet
"What does the princess mean when she speaks?" Jiang Liuyu said this, which made Huzi feel that he was cheap, so he couldn't believe it.
Jiang Liuyu's face suddenly drooped, "What good is it for me to lie to you." If you're not happy, let's go to the Criminal Department now. ”
"No, no, I believe that if the princess wants to know anything, I must know everything." Huzi knelt on the ground, and when he heard the words of the criminal department, he couldn't help but shrink back.
"I just want to ask you, what did you add to my Yuzhi paste, and why does it taste so different from before." Jiang Liuyu said, pretending to slap the table viciously, the small porcelain jar on the table was not stable, rolled to the ground, and fell in front of Huzi.
"I—I just changed some cheap wax powder, and I didn't do anything else." Huzi was startled by the sound of the small porcelain jar, and raised his eyes slightly in horror to look at Jiang Liuyu, and his right hand couldn't help but swing slightly.
"How much cheaper." Sure enough, there are interests behind all abnormal things. Jiang Liuyu sighed deeply in her heart, she felt that the monthly salary for the guys was a lot, but it was still not enough to swallow the elephant.
"It's more than twenty cents cheaper than the one from the beekeeper." Huzi was worried that she would have another seizure, and almost jumped out of the words word by word.
"Wax powder is calculated by catty, and it is cheaper than 20 wen per catty. One pound of wax powder can only make fifteen bottles of Yuzhi paste, and my store sells hundreds of bottles of Yuzhi paste a day, as well as other skin care products made of wax powder. ”
Jiang Liuyu reported the numbers that needed to be calculated one by one, even if he didn't get the final result, just by listening, he found that Huzi took a lot of advantage from it.
"Then the shopkeeper's leave for so many days, you must have made a lot of money." Jiang Liuyu was angry when she thought about it, and her hands couldn't help but clench into fists.
"The princess is angry, it's a big deal that I will return all the money I saved from it to the store, and I just ask the princess to let me go." As he spoke, Huzi kowtowed to the ground repeatedly.
"I'm going to make these jade mushroom pastes, in addition to the wax powder, and I have to provide a lot of raw materials on the side. In addition, if you actually sell this thing on those days, it is easy to affect the reputation of our store in front of others. ”
"When the word goes out and everyone says that the things in our store are not good, how much income will be lost." It's okay that Huzi didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Jiang Liuyu's angry emotions couldn't be controlled, "This money is the small profit you made from the difference in the price of wax powder, can you compare." ”
"The little ones know that they are wrong, and they know that they are wrong." Huzi kowtowed, and at the same time gestured to the shopkeeper sitting next to him with his eyes, hoping that he would intercede for himself. The shopkeeper picked up the tea on the table, but pretended not to see it.
"It's useless to talk about these things now, you go and bring the cheap wax powder you used, and I'll take a look." Jiang Liuyu took a deep breath, and silently thought in his heart that anger is not good for his health, and he can't afford to drag down his body for these people.
"Princess, please look." He actually took it with him, and as soon as he took it out of his arms, he took out a paper bag.
Jiang Liuyu put her hand on the table to support her head, feeling that her eyes were dizzy, so Xiaoyun stepped forward to bring it for her.
Before opening it, Jiang Liuyu smelled the smell, which was indeed similar to the taste of the Yuzhi paste contained in these porcelain jars.
She glared at Huzi before gently opening the paper bag.
The paper bag contained a pile of white powder and powder, which rustled to the touch and was not sticky. Although normal wax powder is ground into powder, it is easily solidified into lumps when it is squeezed like this. And these things on the hands look more like a mixture of medicinal powder and wax powder.
Jiang Liuyu looked at this thing a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. After thinking to herself for a while, she raised her eyes to look at Huzi.
"Where did you get these strange things?"
"It's not a small one looking for it, it's the person who sold this thing himself." When Huzi talks like this, he has a sense of wanting to break away from himself. Jiang Liuyu listened, and by the way, asked Xiaoyun to wrap the paper bag back.
"Less than two days after I helped the shopkeeper look at the store that day, a man in a gray short taxi walked into the store and mysteriously showed me these things."
"I didn't really want it at the time, but he dragged me and told me that the wax powder on the first day could be given for free, so I somehow got blinded by the lard and agreed for the little money for the raw materials." When he collected the money, he must have laughed from ear to ear, but now that the matter is revealed, Huzi wants to pound his head on the ground in frustration.
"If you knew today, why bother in the first place, if you were really annoyed, you wouldn't have done these sneaky things under my nose." Jiang Liuyu only snorted coldly at Huzi's current appearance.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if that person gives you something so cheaply, don't you suspect that he has any purpose?"
If there are really a lot of things involved behind the scenes, Jiang Liuyu has to think about whether to hand over Huzi Mingzhe to protect himself, or help him carry it himself.
"The little one doesn't know, it's just that I've been doing business with him for so many days, and he hasn't said anything else." Huzi shook his head in a daze, as if he hadn't thought of this level at all.
"Forget it, I just ask you if that person is here today, can today's transaction be completed?" Hearing that Huzi never cares about the consequences, Jiang Liuyu pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, and had nothing to say to this person.
"He's been here early this morning. This person used me to collect a cheap wax powder and blackmailed me into trading with him every day, and I didn't dare not listen. It's just that tomorrow I have to ask him to buy it, and I have to ask the princess to show me. Huzi sighed, presumably his heart had been overwhelmed by that person these days, but now he said it in one go, but it was a lot more comfortable.
"The less people know about this matter, the better, and it is better not to cause a storm." Jiang Liuyu glanced at Huzi with great disgust. Although a gentleman loves money, he should also take it in a proper way, and she said that she didn't understand Huzi's way of enriching his own pockets.
"Since he threatens you to buy his things, then you can continue the transaction tomorrow, but you can only buy it with the money you are greedy from." Jiang Liuyu thought about going back and told Su Jingye that he would make an ambush in the store tomorrow morning, and it would be best if he could catch that person.
"The little one obeys." Hearing that Jiang Liuyu hadn't dealt with himself yet, Huzi felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he agreed after being busy.
In the palace, since the dust settled on the last arrest of Wushi Sanren, Jin Shan and Su Jingye have been free, and in order to express their gratitude, Jin Shan specially came to visit.
"Lord Wang, you said that you and I have done such a big thing for Your Majesty, that kid surnamed Zhou, but he dealt with a group of mountain bandits, and actually held a celebration banquet with us, which is too unfair to think about."
It can be regarded as a celebration that Su Jingye specially asked someone to prepare a table of simple wine and food, but he didn't expect Jin Shan to drink two more glasses of wine, so he said everything.
"If Your Majesty really thinks that it is difficult to deal with the matter of suppressing bandits, I can also go to Lushan, and I can save myself from investigating such a troublesome case." Jin Shan didn't actually drink much, but everyone was drunk when he was not drunk, and he was very depressed.
"Lord Kim is not happy, why didn't you mention it earlier? Now, two or three days have passed since the celebration banquet, are you still uneasy? Su Jingye deliberately teased him, brought the wine glass over and touched it with him.
"In fact, the celebration banquet is just a false name, Your Majesty just wants to tell the ministers in the court that Wu Zhuangyuan is his person, and no one is allowed to move. It seems that His Majesty's expectations for Wu Zhuangyuan are high. ”
"No matter how high the expectations are, the person surnamed Zhou doesn't have the ability to bear it." are both military generals, and it can be said that they are both discerning heroes, and Jin Shan and Shi Zhengzhi's views on Zhou Zhiji are surprisingly consistent.
"Instead of caring about others, Lord Jin should think about who wants to stab you in the back." Su Jingye said this sentence leisurely, scaring half of Jinshan's wine strength away, "What does the prince mean by this?" ”
"Then even if Zhao Ming is trying to be lazy, he still has the household department and the military department on his head, why did he find your criminal department?" Su Jingye didn't seem to be aware and suspicious when he saw Jin Shan, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"If someone hadn't given him ideas behind his back, he wouldn't have put people in you. Not to mention that the prisoner went to prison and died the next day. ”
"Then according to what the prince sees, who should this person be?" Jin Shan reflected on himself, and he really didn't think of offending anyone to have such a big enmity with himself.
"I'm just guessing, I don't dare tell you casually. However, Lord Jin should also have some eyebrows in his heart. Su Jingye said very implicitly, Jin Shan and him glanced at each other, even if it was tacit.
"It's just that the man wants to frame me, why don't you kill all the prisoners together, and keep half of them." This question really bothered him.
"Leave a few alive to witness the tragedy of that night, and then wait for others to find out and not be silent." Su Jingye saw that his face was confused, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"He's just trying to build momentum and make things bigger. But fortunately, Lord Jin concealed this matter well, except for a few at the time, no one knew. ”
But leaving these people and letting them see the appearance of the people who came to poison them didn't deliberately leave themselves with clues to follow the vine. Would a cautious and cautious person like Li Wensong make such a low-level mistake?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart, I am afraid that the matter is not over as they imagined.
"Lord Jin, since that day we took the old nest of Wushi San, the rest of the scattered places, isn't Zhao Ming still investigating?" The more Su Jingye thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't notice that his fists were already clenched deeply.
When Lord Kim looked at him now, he was puzzled, "Exactly—"
