Chapter 513: Business Acumen
But here it has come, Shen Xi has never had a reason to return empty-handed, she has a lot of evidence of Shu Jia's evil in her hands, these days she and Lu Qingyi have been calm on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly investigating the evidence.
"Hmph, you really think you're a green onion, it's just a matter of writing a few books, and you really think you can manage everything." Shu Jia snorted coldly at Shen Xi.
"What about me? Master Shu thinks I can't take care of it, right? The corners of Lu Qingyi's mouth, who had never spoken, rose slightly at this moment, and under the moonlight, his smile was like the flower of hell, which made people feel terrifying.
Lu Qingyi is the richest man in Chu State, and he is reused by the emperor, Shu Jia has to give him some face, his face immediately let go, and he immediately smirked at Lu Qingyi: "Lu Gongzi, but you are unreasonable, you can't just ask someone to pay taxes again as soon as you come!"
In the night, Lu Qingfei was like a sculpture, graceful and luxurious, he was not in a hurry, he still maintained that graceful and bloody smile, only to hear his gentle voice ask rhetorically, "Who said that we came to you to pay taxes?" Paying taxes is only one thing, on the other hand, kill what should be killed, catch what should be caught! ”
As soon as Lu Qingyi's words came out, Shu Jia's face instantly turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly, "You...... What the hell are you here for? ”
Lu Qingyi smiled ghostly again, "What are you doing, doesn't Master Shu know?" Lu Qingyi's words were originally plain, but when he looked at Shu Jia's eyes, it only made people feel frightened.
"Do you still have a royal law, and you still want to kill people casually." Shu Jia's face turned green, he said this completely with courage, Lu Qingyi is a businessman, where does he have so much power in his hands.
Lu Qingyi still looked immovable, his face changed, his eyes were cold, like a beast hunted at night, "Master Shu, you can try, we set up a banquet this time in order to thoroughly investigate, you Huaiyang merchants colluded with corrupt officials to do evil things, you are the richest man in Huaiyang, but you don't lead by example, could it be that you are also the one who colluded with corrupt officials?" ”
The corners of Lu Qingyi's mouth hooked up, directly indicating his position, since the emperor asked him to come, then he will completely clear this place, and in the future, it will be easier for Chang Yi to follow.
Since they can be involved with Chang Wenluo Prime Minister, they must not be simple merchants, Huaiyang has become a rich place, they have indeed made a great contribution, but this contribution is not good for the people, the poor are still poor, but the people who should not be rich have become rich by the so-called business in their mouths, which is nothing more than by squeezing the people.
Shu Jia's face sank suddenly, and he said coldly: "Master Lu, you can't talk nonsense, let alone frame people casually, we don't go to your so-called banquet because we all know that you want us to pay taxes again, and we have already paid the taxes, so we have to pay them again, which is naturally not willing for anyone to hand over their hard-earned money in vain."
"Master Shu's words are funny, you are stepping on the land of Chu and the sky of Chu with your head, how are you embarrassed to say such a thing? Not to mention whether your silver taels are legitimate or not, even if they are legitimate, this is not a reason for you to evade taxes, and you don't look at how much tax you usually pay. ”
Shen Xi also raised his eyes and glanced at Shu Jia, every word was beautiful, and his words were full of ridicule and temptation, besides, the peace of this huge Chu State could not come out by one's own strength, but by thousands of soldiers desperately protecting it, if there were no soldiers, I am afraid that the Chu State would have been occupied by people with ulterior motives.
Shu Jia couldn't say a word when Shen Xi said it, he looked at Shen Xi, his face was gloomy, and for a while, he was at a disadvantage. And where would he have thought that Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi would be menacing this time, leaving him powerless. delicacies
In the end, he just flicked his sleeves angrily and snorted coldly, "When are we going to pay less taxes?" And we are in business, who doesn't know that Huaiyang is a holy place for doing business, and all this money is justified, Miss Shen, don't look at people with that kind of suspicious eyes. ”
"Then let me ask you, the second prince of the capital and Prime Minister Luo Cheng, but your old friends?" Shen Xi's eyes were bright and shining, and they became extremely cold in the cold moonlight. Her voice was very soft, but it was Shu Jia who asked Shu Jia to retreat again and again, and her legs were weak.
Shu Jia shook his head and denied, "Where will I know the second prince and the prime minister, I am just an honest businessman, and the second prince may not look at me." ”
"They don't look down on you, but they look down on your business mind, you can see your status in Huaiyang, if you say you don't know them, then who wrote this letter to them?" Shen Xi pressed forward step by step, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, hiding a knife in his smile.
"I ...... How do I know, don't you come and ask me. Shu Jia turned his face to the side, trying not to look at Shen Xi's sharp eyes.
"You wrote it, why didn't I ask you? Master Shu, do you think you are smart and think that he will come to save you by writing a letter and suing the second prince? Then let me tell you, now that he himself is in dire straits in the capital, where is he free to save you. Shen Xi said that the smile suddenly sank, and she stared at Shu Jia with a torch in her eyes.
"Don't think about running away in the middle of the night, you can't get a letter out, do you think you can still get out?" Shen Xi directly saw through Shu Jia's thoughts, her eyes were like an abyss, and when she saw Shu Jia, she felt that she was about to fall into it.
But Shu Jia is also a veteran of the shopping mall after all, how could he be easily decided by Shen Xi with a word, he glared at Shen Xi angrily, "Miss Shen, you yourself have said so much here, how do you know that we will escape?" This Huaiyang is our home, and it is you who should go. ”
"When the matter is done, we don't need you to rush, we will naturally go back." Shen Xi smiled like a ghost.
"Master Shu, we just have one request, that is, we just want you to gather those merchants together, maybe when the time comes, it is not impossible for us to spare your life. But if you refuse to cooperate, I'm afraid that after today, after tomorrow, your Shu family will cease to exist in Huaiyang. ”
"You're threatening me?" Shu Jia looked at Shen Xi slightly, she had heard of Shen Xi and wrote books, but where would he have thought that a girl's family would have such courage, and he didn't expect that a girl's family would not be afraid of him at all, but would threaten him.
"Don't dare to threaten, just tell the truth." Shen Xi smiled elegantly again, her smile was clearly a threat.
"You let me think about this matter, after all, those merchants know your purpose, and they may not really be willing to go." Shuja finally bowed his head.
"It's all right, tell them that if I don't see anyone at the feast, whoever will see blood." Lu Qingyi said this extremely indifferently, as if the blood in his mouth was not murder!
