Chapter Ninety-Four: The Devil's Heart in the Dark
Wen Yue explained that Wen Qing was taking care of the things in the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce here, and he called Jintuan to go to the second floor to change into a simple plain robe.
This person relies on clothes, Buddha and gold, and Wen Yue, who is wearing a simple robe, does not have the luxury of a rich son, but is just like an ordinary scholar.
The crown on the top of his head has also been replaced by an ordinary ribbon from white jade, Xu is Wen Yuechang is very aura, but despite this, it looks just a little ordinary, and the handsome face is still difficult to cover.
"Let's go, follow me somewhere."
Jin Tuan silently followed behind Wen Yue, and at this time, the two of them no longer dressed like master and servant but classmates and friends.
"Don't call me a son again after I go, you and I are called brothers, don't let people see some clues."
Jintuan is also the second monk who is confused, and just obeys the master's orders.
Wen Yue and the others came to the pharmacy where they bought medicinal materials and made trouble last time, and Wen Yue pretended to buy medicine and went in to ask
"The shopkeeper, in the next few days, I occasionally feel discomfort in my throat, I am afraid that it is cold, and I ask the shopkeeper to open a few squares."
The shopkeeper didn't ask any more questions, since he asked him to open a few prescriptions for curing the wind and cold, he looked at these shabby scholars, and he didn't bother to add those troubles to himself.
When the shopkeeper was prescribing the prescription, Wen Yue looked around
"Shopkeeper, your pharmacy business is good."
The shopkeeper glanced up at Wen Yue and sighed
"It's a good business, but we're just making enough to make ends meet."
Wen Yue pretended to be puzzled
"Shouldn't this business be good every day? If it is difficult to get in, you will go to open a medicinal herb shop to make a living. ”
The shopkeeper opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, and then swallowed his saliva and swallowed the words that he was about to say.
Wen Yue saw that the shopkeeper had not yet reacted, and continued
"I heard that the newly established Xinyue Chamber of Commerce is very good, and the small merchants on this street have gone there one after another, and if they really start this business in the future, they still need more guidance from the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper's hand stopped and looked at Wen Yue fixedly
"Then the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce is really good?"
Wen Yue saw that the shopkeeper's eyes were shining with hope, and he emphasized it even more
"Yes, passing by there this morning, Lord Jing Zhaoyin went to congratulate him in person, what else did the person in charge say minus thirty percent?"
Wen Yue paused, pretended to be trying to remember and think, and said affirmatively
"It is said that the amount of profits handed over to the Chamber of Commerce minus 30%."
The shopkeeper was shocked, three percent! Sancheng, this alone is enough to make them tempted to change the Chamber of Commerce.
The shopkeeper's eyes moved, and he didn't speak, but the slightly rapid breathing had betrayed him, and he pretended to be calm
"The recipe is written, this little brother will let the guy over there grab the medicine for you."
After speaking, he hurriedly walked in the direction of the backyard, and his steps were hurried.
Wen Yue turned to leave, the corners of her mouth curled, her purpose had been achieved.
Taking advantage of the moment when the guy grabbed the medicine, Wen Yue suddenly touched his body and said to Jintuan
"Brother Jin, did my calligraphy and painting fall into that inn? Go find it for me. ”
Wen Yue looked at the direction where the shopkeeper left just now, glanced at it, and motioned for Jin Tuan to stare at the point, and Jin Tuan understood.
"Okay, I'll go get it for my brother"
Jin Tuan walked out of the door of the pharmacy, turned a corner, and turned from the side alley to the roof of the backyard of the pharmacy and lay on his stomach secretly.
After a while, a middle-aged man came in through the side door of the backyard, who also looked rich and walked in a figure-eight step, and was led into a room by a young man.
Jin Tuan turned over to the top of the room, carefully lifted a tile, and saw that it was the pharmacy shopkeeper and the middle-aged man.
"Have you heard, this Xinyue Chamber of Commerce has made it clear that it wants to oppose our Chamber of Commerce, and the profits handed over have been cut by thirty percent."
The middle-aged man glanced at the pharmacy shopkeeper
"I know all this, not only that, there is no limit on the amount per month, but the Chamber of Commerce will also divide it into merchants."
The shopkeeper was even more surprised
"Oh my God, I don't know what that guy is going to do when he finds out, what are you going to do."
The middle-aged man sighed and frowned, as if he was very embarrassed
"I'm also thinking about coming to you, this person dies for money, birds die for food, not to mention that this Xinyue Chamber of Commerce still has the government to rely on, do we have to ......"
The middle-aged man looked at the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, but the shopkeeper suddenly became afraid
"What happened to the old man back then......"
Just such a sentence extinguished the heat in the middle-aged man's heart like a basin of cold water, and the two looked at each other for a while.
Jin Tuan quietly put the tile back in the distance, and one rolled over and landed in the alley, hurried back to the door of the pharmacy.
Finding that Wen Yue was sitting at the tea stall opposite the pharmacy and drinking tea, Jin Tuan rushed over, and just wanted to salute Wen Yue glared at her, so she sat down directly.
Wen Yue poured her a cup of hot tea, but she didn't rush to ask first.
Jin Tuan whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear
"Childe, they were attracted by the conditions offered by the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce, but they mentioned a person named Lao Yu and said that it was an old thing, they seemed to be a little afraid, and even their expressions changed a little."
Wen Yue took a sip of tea, it shouldn't be!
suddenly asked, "You have been with my third brother for a lot of time, have you ever heard of anything big happening to the family surnamed Yu?" ”
Jin Tuan was stunned for a moment, and then carefully considered for a moment, and the surname Yu ...... Last name Yu ......
Suddenly, Jintuan's eyes widened and he looked at Wen Yue happily
"I remembered that there was a murder case in the imperial city that year, but it was also defined as a hired murderer because the murderer could not be found, and it became a headless unsolved case. That family seems to be surnamed Yu. ”
At this time, it should be Chang Wen Yue who was surprised, how could he be involved in another extermination case?
"Go ahead and tell me everything you know."
"The specific subordinates are not too clear, the third prince did not send me to talk about this matter back then, so the subordinates only know about these rumors of the imperial city."
Jin Tuo looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the conversation between the two of them, so she moved closer and Wen Yue lowered her voice
"This Yu family is also a small business, and somehow one day the whole family was wiped out, including the children of a few years old, and none of the Yu family survived. The worst thing is that the government cannot decide the case, so it can only end the case as a headless case. ”
Wen Yue's anger became more and more obvious when she heard this, if this matter was related to that Qingxuan, she would definitely punish the evil and promote the good, and she would not even let go of a child of a few years old.
Wen Yue snorted coldly, this is like his Qingxuan style, he does things cleanly and does not leave any horses, and repeated murders can make the government unable to end it.
can have such a ability to control subordinates, except for money, there is only fear.
