Chapter 280: Clean up in advance
Zhu Changan's subordinates who were in charge of following up soon returned.
Several people bowed their heads and shrugged their shoulders, bringing bad news again.
They walked several times and have confirmed that Yangzhou has Guixiang Class, Guiyun Pavilion, and Lan Kwai Fang, but there is no Guiyun Fang at all! In order to ensure that it is true, they also went to the household registration office of the Yamen, Yangzhou, there is indeed no Guiyunfang!
Without Guiyunfang, there is naturally no twilight clouds, and there is no such thing as Master Liu in the east of the city! The identities of those people are fake!
No one knew the origin of the group of people just now, they seemed to have evaporated from the world, and disappeared without a trace.
Zhu Changan's blood surged, and bursts of anger rushed to the top of his head, shaking him from head to toe. These people can't be caught, they can't get revenge, and they can't get their money back!
He had only been suspicious before, but now he finally confirmed that the old bustard and Twilight could get out perfectly, and there must be someone behind him.
The other party can clean up in an instant, either it is powerful, or it has power in Yangzhou.
This loss is really infuriating.
Yangzhou is the territory of the Shi family, and when something like this happens, Zhu Changan naturally thought of the Shi family. He had to be careful, did the Shi family have anything to do with this? Will the Shi family cooperate with others to yin him?
"The Shi family is also a local snake in Yangzhou, Shi Gongzi, you don't know that there is no Guiyunfang in Yangzhou? Didn't you find any clues when you first negotiated the price? Can anyone else get out under the noses of the Shi family? ”
Shi Gongzi's face was cold, and he scolded Zhu Si angrily in his heart.
I couldn't wipe my buttocks clean and was bitten by a dog, and I blame others for not reminding me? This person is really a villain who can't afford to lose!
"The whole Yangzhou party, bright and dark, more than a thousand. The Shi family is engaged in serious salt transportation and trading, and has never opened a green building, nor has it been good to linger in the green building, let alone say that it is a snake on the ground. I know which dim sum shop in Yangzhou makes osmanthus cake delicious, as for which one in Yangzhou is Guiyunfang, it is really not clear who has a Duyun girl.
With these ups and downs, the Shi family can't help the fourth master. Then Shi took his leave! ”
Shi San couldn't help but sneer, brushed his sleeves and left...... Shameless things for the face! If he is still the same as he was three months ago, then he should explain it himself. If he is polite, he may help track it down. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't deserve it......
Zhu Changan was furious, and the more he thought about it when he returned to Shi's house, the more annoyed he became, and he locked the first object of suspicion on Cheng Ziyu. She made an appointment, something happened to him, and he didn't let outsiders know about drinking tea in the teahouse, so naturally Cheng Ziyu had the biggest suspicion.
And Cheng Ziyu is also from Jiangnan, and if she wants to come to Yangzhou, she also has the manpower and power of their Cheng family, if she wants to do something, it is not impossible......
At the request of Zhu Chang'an, Wang Yue quickly found Cheng Ziyu.
"It's not me!"
Cheng Ziyu poured her a cup of tea.
"He suspects me of harming him, and I'm afraid he will hurt me! He looks for me, do you think I'll go? On my trip to the south, there are only two people around me, you know. There were only three people with my grandfather.
I just moved in, and the girls are busy packing up. My grandfather and his people were also in the front yard of the Shi family, and we didn't go out. There are many witnesses, and if you are not at ease, you can check them. ”
"Ziyu, don't worry, I'm just here to ask." Wang Yue's face was still relaxed. It's not Cheng Ziyu who is the best, she has cooperated happily with Cheng Ziyu several times, and at this time she is not ready to deal with Ziyu and men.
"What is there to ask, you don't know how much silver I have? Am I idle? To blackmail him for such a little silver? ”
"It's the same thing you say, I don't understand what happened today, no matter how you look at the other party's aftermath. When I got there, I thought it couldn't be good, and I was afraid that it would be big. But Ziyu, you said, why did the other party get the silver, and this matter is over? No matter how you look at it, it's weird. ”
"He has offended many people, who knows?"
Cheng Ziyu smiled low and looked at Wang Yue's stomach.
"How's your body?"
"Very good! It's been two months, but fortunately, the weather is getting cooler, and you can't see it at all, right? ”
Cheng Ziyu snorted. Wang Yue kicked out the threat of Wen Lan as she wished, but she still didn't believe that this child could be born......
Zhu Changan did not give up, and after checking the various doors of the Shi family, he got confirmation: Cheng Ziyu and Cheng Xuan, including their subordinates, did not set foot in the Shi family today......
Of course, he also guessed that it was the fifth prince, but after the other party sent the emperor to the hot spring today, he returned to the Shi family and has been busy for tonight's banquet...... There was no evidence that he had made a small move.
Then, Zhu Changan's people returned again in vain. They went to the various docks and gates, but found no trace of the gang......
The clues are all broken!
Zhu Changan gradually began to be restless.
Indeed, this is a strange thing. He covered it up too easily, and it had been half an hour since he returned to the Shi family, but everyone in the Shi family didn't seem to know about it.
Doesn't the other party have a backup move? Could it be that the other party really went to great lengths just to get some silver? Could it be that those people are just ordinary charlatans?
Why didn't he believe it?
His throat tightened, lest this was just the beginning.
Without clues, he can only extrapolate little by little. After thinking about it, he only had one handle at the moment, that is, he borrowed a thousand taels from the son of the Shi family.
As long as this money is not returned, this matter will be easily revealed! Moreover, looking at Shi Gongzi's attitude today, it is obvious that he is not on the same front as himself.
No, it has to be!
Zhu Changan found Mr. Ni to appease Shi Gongzi, but he had no choice but to ask Wang Yue for help again.
"The concubine has no money. Last time I went back to Wang's house and took five hundred taels, didn't I use it all? Wang Yue lowered her eyes, trying to hide the disdain in her eyes. When Shuangrui came back from his first trip, he took two hundred taels of silver from her, and Zhu Si borrowed one thousand taels from the Shi family, but only paid nine hundred taels. In other words, his two hundred taels were useless at all. On the way back, she hinted, but Zhu Si had no intention of returning it at all.
"Yue'er, can you think of a way? Can you bet on two pairs of jewelry? Don't worry, didn't I buy a piece of land in Ludi? Wait until ......"
"Master, the concubine has a total of three sets of head noodles by her side. One of them was given by the queen mother, and it was intended to be worn on the queen mother's birthday. One set is what my mother treasured for me to marry, and I plan to go to Jingxi and stay in the Wang family. There is also a set of red gold gemstones, and the concubine is going to be worn separately at the Zhenjiang and Jinling banquets. ”
Zhu Changan sighed. If he still wants to take benefits from the Wang family, he naturally can't make Wang Yue look shabby, so the set given by the Wang family can't be moved.
There are also several banquets, Wang Yue represents his face, and the Wang family will also participate in the Jinling banquet, so she can't be embarrassed. Well, all three sets can't be moved......
His temples throbbed.
"Look...... Can you ...... the two shops in the capital?"
"Master, the shops in the capital can't be moved. The Wang family has a business in the capital, and if the shop is sold, the Wang family doesn't know how to look down on you and me. To put it mildly, do you want to be in the other courtyard? ”
Wang Yue blocked Zhu Changan's words again.
Her eyebrows were also slightly frowned.
How much silver did she give him, and he was not satisfied? It's just poor, it's shameless!
This man was inconsistent, thinking that he was almost dead when he first saw him that day, and was completely blinded by his graceful appearance, who knew that the deceitful appearance was so inferior.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the way Ziyu sneered and contemptuous Zhu Changan several times, that girl's eyes were poisonous......
"The concubine has just seen the Chunjiao beside Concubine Li, and she thinks that the ladies have returned to the incense. Without further ado, why don't you go and ask your mother? Niangniang has recently gotten close to Princess Wenlan, and may be able to help the master. Wang Yue was full of care and sent this "favor" to Concubine Zhao and Wen Lan.
……
Princess Vinland had already returned to her courtyard.
The other princesses sent her back and stomped away.
She was in a good mood, and she was taking a flower bath at this moment.
She didn't spend a penny today! The feeling of the white wolf with empty gloves is really good. Fortunately, her father favored her and knew her difficulties in a foreign land, so he had already sent her five secret guards. She sailed south, and her guards followed her by land.
When she went out today, she originally wanted to get in touch with the guards and explain her recent schedule, but she didn't want the guards to come in handy so soon......
The most important thing in Yangzhou City is prostitution, and there is no shortage of prostitutes who have talent but can't get ahead and can't make a lot of money. It only took two quarters of an hour for her personal mother to find a candidate, and another two quarters of an hour to rehearse, and everything went smoothly, and she had more than enough time.
She paid three hundred taels in advance, and the total amount of six hundred taels of silver was due, and if the final amount was not enough, she would pay for it out of her own pocket. Earn more, it's all theirs! The gang went crazy with joy.
Six hundred taels is a year's worth of a medium-sized green building. It's too easy to buy and sell.
The bustard's group worked hard, and their own grandmother only dialed it slightly, and they did it.
As soon as the eight hundred taels of silver were in hand, this group of people was escorted out of Yangzhou City by her secret guards, from land to water, and sent far away.
After scolding such a large sum of money, these people were extremely cooperative, and before her people could open their mouths to threaten, they only wanted to grow wings and fly away......
There are also those stupid princesses, all with long hair and short knowledge, who are curious about everything they see on the road. Any fat powder shop or a jewelry shop can make them unable to move for half an hour.
After an hour, her grandmother went back and forth many times, but not only did no one notice the abnormality, but they only walked a small half of the street, which saved her a lot of hands and feet......
Moreover, several princesses have said that if there is a need for this matter today, they will help them testify or say a few words. They also feel that their fourth brother is not only unsuitable for marriage, but also completely unworthy of their noble royal status.
The princess took pity on her and thought that she should not be bound by Zhu Changan. Vinland was grateful for their kindness, and said that she had collected some good things and would soon share them with them, their mothers......
In this way, this matter will be secretly spread among the royal family of the clan at the latest tomorrow.
Vinland also sighed.
In order not to provoke the emperor's attention, she only dared to do this step. But even so, Zhu Changan's reputation is also ruined!
She is in addition to a disaster for the crown prince, this favor, the queen will definitely understand!
This is a big gift from her as the crown prince's side concubine, which is enough to show her sincerity, the queen will accept it, and the prince will like it. It also shows her usefulness, in the future, she will not be too sad when she is by the prince's side......
Wen Lan couldn't help but laugh......
"Princess, Concubine Zhao is here."
"Got it." Wen Lan scoffed.
Both mother and son are shameless!
Wen Lan was not in a hurry, but shrank her body into the water and calmly continued to take a bath......
Concubine Zhao didn't expect that the Bodhisattvas were so ineffective, she had just come back from burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, and her son came to the door with bad news.
When she heard that she came to the door to ask for silver again, Concubine Zhao refused without thinking about it.
The birthday gift that was broken last night, and the bottles of gem powder floating in the air, made her feel distressed, flesh and liver. When I heard it at this time, it would be nearly a thousand taels, and Concubine Zhao's legs were weak.
She never!
She would rather choose to borrow money from Vinland on behalf of her son than take out the silver and jewelry that she had accumulated from Vinlan through various channels in the past two months......
Thinking of Wen Lan's indifference to her this morning, Concubine Zhao also had a little numb scalp and couldn't wipe her face.
But last night, it was clear that Wen Lan made a mistake first, her reputation was ruined, and sooner or later she would be her son's woman, who would she show her posture to?
Mother-in-law comes forward, she has to give face, right?
Concubine Zhao solemnly found a box of peace charm that she had obtained from the abbot without spending any money today, and then went to the door.
She sat and drank three cups of tea, only drank her lower abdomen, her stomach was annoyed, and after thinking of no less than dozens of ways to repair Vinland in the future, Venlan came out with her head.
"Concubine Zhao can't help it, I'm really tired of shopping with the princesses today, and I fell asleep in the bath, so I told Niangniang to wait for a long time. Don't blame the mother. ”
The corners of Concubine Zhao's mouth twitched, and she scolded angrily in her heart, sleeping by herself, and letting herself, a mother-in-law, wait here?
But no matter how angry she was, Concubine Zhao still pretended to be full of care and took out a peace charm.
"This is what the mother concubine asked you for, to keep you safe and healthy every year. This is a good thing, but I can't ask for money to ask for it, the mother concubine went with piety, and made a lot of wishes for you, I just hope that you will ...... one day" Concubine Zhao had already thought of a rhetoric.
Vinland has always been generous. This is what Concubine Zhao is particularly satisfied with. In the past, as long as she took out something good at will, regardless of whether it was worth it or not, Vinland would give a huge reward.
When Concubine Zhao came, she secretly fantasized that she could use the peace charm to soften Vinlan's attitude, and by the way, she could get some gold and silver to take away. She had just taken a look, and the fan pendant on the table was good.
"Thank you, Niangniang, you have a heart!"
Concubine Zhao didn't expect that as soon as her words began, she asked Wen Lansheng to interrupt.
"However, Wenlan is a North Korean, and our Korean Buddha is a little different from the Great Zhou. This peace charm, Vinlan will not accept it. ”
Wen Lan's eyes turned, and she saw Concubine Zhao's greed, and immediately decided to clean her up in advance......
