"I think it's better to have more than less," Mr. Hong twisted his beard, twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while before shaking his head and whispering: "In this matter, look at this scheming method, who knows which hand is really behind this?" And how many hands are in between? Dong Weng didn't say it yesterday, the Huang family was blackmailed, and they were waiting for good food and drink, it was the foreign family of the five princes, who was his family afraid of? Now when this group of dragons are chasing deer, Dong Weng, it's better to be stupid than smart!"

Mr. Hong summed up meaningfully, and Guo Tuiguan nodded again and again: "Sir's words are extreme, extreme!" Let's just ask for a lottery head, next to it, which fucking hand it is! Let people stir-fry a few refreshing dishes, let's have a good drink. Guo Tuiguan laughed and sat on the east chamber kang with Mr. Hong to drink.

A group of small and delicate pavilions in the northeast corner of the lake behind Qingfeng Lou never entertain guests, at this time, one of the windows near the lake of the warm pavilion is open, and a fishing rod stretches out from the window into the lake, but it is waved to the east for a while, and it is waved to the west for a while, and there is no meaning to fish with peace of mind at all.

On the big kang under the window, Huang Jingjie, the proprietor of Qingfeng Building and the second shopkeeper of the Huang family, known as the first merchant in the northwest, picked up the purple clay pot that had just been boiled, and ordered a cup of tea slowly. The fifth prince, Qin Qi, who was wielding a fishing rod, threw the fishing rod casually, picked up the cup and smelled it, and took a deep breath of the fragrant tea with satisfaction.

"Uncle has arrived at the government council, it's the third day today." Huang Jingjie's tone was easy-going and gentle, and the fifth prince said 'um', continued to appreciate the cup of tea, and took a sip carefully.

"This morning, the fourth master sent someone to look for you again." Huang Jingjie continued, the five princes didn't seem to hear, took another sip of tea, squinted his eyes and tasted it carefully, Huang Jingjie stopped talking, and watched him taste tea with a smile.

The fifth prince tasted half a cup of tea, then put down the cup with satisfaction, leaned back on the thick cushion, stilted his legs, and said leisurely: "What good can he do if he looks for me at this juncture?" I don't want good things either. ”

"Uncle has got a big bargain this time."

"Well," the fifth prince put his hands behind his head, shook his legs, looked up at the silk Chengchen on the roof, and was out of his mind for a long time before he exhaled and said: "There are a few of our brothers, just count the eldest brother to be the most generous, and life is the best under his hands." ”

"That?" As soon as Huang Jingjie spoke, the fifth prince hurriedly interrupted: "Nothing is the best, the sacred heart is unfathomable, my father is unfathomable, my identity is at this point, unless I want to fight for that big position, what else is there to do?" I have no desires, no desires, why should I be a gun for them? It doesn't matter who sits on him, no one is indispensable to me, a prince! You earn your money, and I enjoy my blessings, and I don't care about idle things!"

Huang Jingjie smiled and shook his head: "We can be regarded as helping this blackmail trend." ”

"This is different, this is not a help," the fifth prince hurriedly sat up and defended: "It's just pushing the boat down the river, besides, this tricky method of making a trap first and then throwing scoundrels around is not in line with the temperament of the eldest brother, but this matter has made the eldest brother get such a big bargain, it is really heaven's will!"

"The person behind this, do you want someone to check it?" Huang Jingjie asked with a smile, and the fifth prince waved his hand and said, "Why do you know so much?" Nothing to do. ”

Dongyang County Wangfu is deep in the inner study in the innermost part of the garden, Dongyang County Wang Ye Lihai's face is pale, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and the eldest son Ye Shusheng is reporting in a low voice: "...... The son personally asked the first few scoundrels to make trouble, and they all said that they had heard that Chang Heipi had won the shop, and he also wanted to try his luck, even if he couldn't get a shop, he could take some silver to spend a fat year, who knew that those scoundrels really got the silver, and then they were swarming up, afraid that the cheap would be taken advantage of by others, and they had to grab some benefits. ”

Ye Shusheng looked up at his father, and then continued: "It's really Ji Changwen who is too careless, this case is ridiculous, and the verdict is even more absurd, it spreads very quickly in the market, and the tabloids don't talk about it, and the people who talk in the tile book also use this matter as a hat to say, and even the juggling and singing songs, they also say a few words about this matter before the opening, it is true, it has to make people feel bad, Ji Fuyin is really ...... It's too careless. ”

Ye Lihai sighed very angrily, turned around, looked at the eldest son Ye Shusheng and said bitterly: "Ji Changwen is too careless, but the cause of this incident is ...... Just because of this little thing! This little bit of petty profit has broken us a Jingfu Yin! The entire Beijing Yamen! How much effort did it take me to place Lao Ji in this position, it's only been less than a year! What an idiot! Idiot!" Ye Lihai roared.

Ye Shusheng frowned, he hung his hands in annoyance and didn't dare to say much, Ye Lihai's chest rose and fell, and it took a long time to barely calm down, Ye Shusheng saw that his father's anger stopped for a while, and carefully persuaded: "Father, Ji Changwen is too stupid, even if he doesn't fold, it will be difficult to take on a big role in the future, and my father doesn't have to be too sorry......

"I'm not sorry for him, it's the yamen of this Beijing Mansion, the letter has just been handed out in the palace, this Quan Jingzhao Mansion Yin, the official family has approved the uncle's excerpt and entrusted Hou Mingtai."

"The people we recommend...... Isn't it in vain? Ye Shusheng said disappointedly, Ye Lihai sighed heavily: "Uncle has taken advantage of the punishment of the official family, and has been acting in the Yamen of the Beijing Mansion every day these days, and he has really made him sort out a lot of things...... Ye Lihai suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Ye Shusheng and asked: "That shop, did Wu Chenglin return it to the Li family?" ”

"Elephant is...... The son didn't hear about it. Ye Shusheng hesitated, Ye Lihai punched the bookcase hard, gritted his teeth and said: "He must not have returned it yet, this Wu Chenglin, he is really stupid like a deer!" You go to the Wenguo Mansion, go now, please see the eldest princess, and ask her to return the shop to others! is so blatantly plotting to rob an orphan girl's property, she is really getting more and more shameless!" Ye Shusheng looked up at his angry father, swallowed his saliva, and had to agree with a bitter expression.

The eldest princess of Ningguo was only angry that the first Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, and she pointed to her only son, Wu Chenglin, the Duke of Wenguo, who was standing in front of her, and scolded: "Where are your hearts? Where have you used your skills? What's the difference between that shop and a pile of ownerless silver? How can you be stupid like this?! Look at the disaster you stabbed, your heart and eyes are used on a woman's belly!"

"A-Niang, it's all to blame for that Ji Changwen...... "Wu Chenglin wasn't very afraid of the eldest princess of Ningguo, and couldn't help muttering, the eldest princess of Ningguo's face turned blue with anger, grabbed the cup next to her and smashed it at Wu Chenglin's head: "Bastard!" You have ruined other people's major affairs, and you still don't introspect?! The surname Ji lost his official position, and the Beijing Yamen changed hands, all because of you! It's all you who caused the trouble, and you don't know it?!"

Wu Chenglin dodged the teacup sideways, this time he didn't dare to squeak, and let the eldest princess of Ningguo scold angrily, the eldest princess of Ningguo scolded for a while, panting and pointing at Wu Chenglin and said: "Return the shop!"

"Auntie, I've taken it all, how can I still pay it back?!" Wu Chenglin's flesh was in pain, and the eldest princess of Ningguo gritted her teeth and said: "If you don't want your life, you won't pay it back, you can keep it!"

"A-Niang, I'm also for the house, the situation in our house, you don't know, that shop, didn't you say it a long time ago, it's a cash cow! But it's only been a few days since we got it, and we haven't seen a penny yet, so you are willing to pay it back? Besides, where is the money that is owed outside? "What he swallowed, Wu Chenglin said that he was reluctant to spit it out.

"Return it first!" The eldest princess of Ningguo hated iron and gritted her teeth and said: "The palace of Dongyang County has spoken, and the eldest prince is sitting on the board of directors of the government again, making such a big incident, there is no reason not to turn over this case, the government has not come, it is looking at my face, I can't keep the shop at this time, I will send it back today, after this gust of wind, you can rest assured, the shop will have to be surnamed Wu sooner or later!"

"Yes." Wu Chenglin reluctantly responded.

Rong Antang went around in a small circle, and returned to Li Tian's hands, Wang Shopkeeper and Sun Er's Shopkeeper took all the guys, from the first half of the night to the next half of the night, before they could be considered to be messy inside and outside the messy shop, busy for almost a day and a night, but the two of them were not sleepy, simply sent someone to buy a few dishes, heated a pot of wine and sat down to pour.

"In the past few days, I have walked a few times on the edge of life and death." Shopkeeper Wang smacked his wine loudly and sighed.

"It's not, Da Lang is frightened, and so am I, these few back and forth, in my heart, I really don't know how to get through it, thanks to the owner." Sun Er's shopkeeper followed with emotion.

"But no, the owner is young, it's really not simple, her life is also very good, who would have thought that this blackmail lawsuit would cause such a big turmoil, just like that, the shop is back!" The shopkeeper Wang took a sip of wine, ate a piece of pig's head meat, and smiled all over his face.

"The shopkeeper, don't hide it from you, the owner is not simple, I don't care about this, just rush the owner to you, to our righteousness, even if I have a fixed owner in my life, you don't know in prison at that time, I and Da Lang went to find the owner, the owner just said, first save you, even if you lose the shop, you have to save you, you say, how many owners can be like this? Let's say something ugly, it's the father and mother who save their son, and that's it, right? Just rush to this righteousness, I will follow this owner!"

"Da Lang told me this, and I ...... in my heart Alas, this gratitude will not be said, I am also this age, I want to say with a lifetime, but I can't follow a few years, speaking of this, you have followed me for all these years, and you can also become an apprentice, I want to find the owner after the New Year to say, let you be the shopkeeper, I will give you half a year and two shopkeepers, and go back to the countryside to retire. ”

"What do you say, shopkeeper...... How can I afford ......"

"Affordable, affordable, come and come, drink, our master and apprentice have said that master and apprentice are like father and son, this fate is rare......"
