Li Qing was very angry at this time, the Li family firm has been smooth sailing for so many years, and has made countless high-ranking officials and nobles from top to bottom, and the entire business route has been properly organized, and nothing has happened.

The sudden news of the hijacking of a merchant ship caught people off guard.

Li Chen asked with a look of surprise, "Father, how could this kind of thing happen?" Hasn't this trade route always been safe? ”

Li Qing frowned, and said with an irritated expression: "How do I know about this kind of thing?" Maybe someone is greedy when they see money, or maybe there is a new group of unruly scoundrels, this kind of thing can only be known after investigation. ”

Li Rui said thoughtfully: "Father, you said that the robbery of our fleet, will it have anything to do with Jia Cong's kid, suppressing the price of soap here, and robbing our fleet over there, this is too much of a coincidence." ”

Li Qing fell into deep thought when he heard this, if you want to say that it doesn't matter, these two things are indeed some coincidences, if you want to say that they are related, even I don't believe it very much.

After all, that Jia Cong is only eleven years old, although he likes to toss around, but he is not capable of doing the matter of the ship robbery team.

"Although these two things are very coincidental, if it is Jia Cong's kid who did it, do you believe it?"

The two brothers looked at each other and shook their heads together.

Even Li Rui, who had fought before, didn't believe that Jia Cong could do it to this extent, let alone others.

Li Chen said worriedly: "Father, will something happen to the batch of soap we just shipped away?" Shall we notify them? ”

Li Qing's body was shocked when he heard this, and he forgot the batch of soap he had just shipped away.

It's just that it seems to be a little late at this time, the caravan is estimated to be on board, and the notification is already too late.

Li Qingyi sat on the chair and said weakly: "I'm afraid it's too late to inform now, Chen'er, you immediately bring someone over, if you really can't catch up, go and find out this matter for me, and see who is acting against my Li family." ”

"Yes, father, I'll take someone over and try to catch up with the caravan."

Watching Li Chen leave in a hurry, Li Qing couldn't calm down, he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, two days later, Li Chen sent back the news that the fleet that had left Beijing had disappeared on the canal, and after some investigation, it was a group of bandits who had fled to the canal.

These people have no permanent place to live, and it is very difficult to find them.

When the father and son of the Li family heard the news, their faces darkened, this damn unlucky, they were actually targeted by a group of rogues, who is going to reason with this?

Fortunately, Jia Cong's kid finally ended the preferential activities, and the price of soap recovered to three taels of silver a piece.

This is undoubtedly good news for the current Li family.

It's just that before they could be happy, news came from the south one after another, and the Li family's shop was looted.

When Li Qing and his son heard the news, they sat on the chair and were directly dumbfounded.

This news is simply worse for the current Li family.

The cash in his hand was taken away by Jia Cong, and all the shops in Jiangnan were looted, and now there is only the industry in Beijing, and the entire Li family firm has shrunk by half.

This made the Li family father and son a little unacceptable, who is dealing with themselves?

Could it really be Jia Cong's kid? But no matter how you think about it, it can't be him, he's just an eleven-year-old child, how can he have so much energy?

Just when the Li family's father and son were suspicious, the news also spread into the palace.

After listening to Dai Quan's report, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but ponder.

It is said that Jia Cong's kid is the most likely, because this time period is too coincidental, but after all, he is only an eleven-year-old child, and there may be so much energy there.

And this kid has been in the capital and has never left, if he can remotely command this matter, it would be really amazing.

"Dai Quan, could it be Jia Cong's kid, didn't he train a group of people in Zhuangzi? It's been more than a year, and it's barely usable, right? ”

Dai Quan said respectfully: "Back to the master, it shouldn't be Jia Cong, after I learned about this matter, I sent someone to Zhuangzi to see it, those people are still training in Zhuangzi, and they haven't left." ”

Emperor Longqing also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but there was a trace of disappointment in his expression.

······

On this day, Jia Cong was in the study, checking the accounts during this time, and Xue Baochai walked in with Ying'er.

Jia Cong hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Sister Bao is here, please take a seat." ”

Xue Baochai came to Jia Cong, his eyes looked back and forth on him, and he looked scrutinizing.

Jia Cong was stunned, and couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Bao, are you taking a fancy to your younger brother?" If Sister Bao likes to watch it, she can watch it for a lifetime. ”

Ying'er almost burst out laughing when she heard this, and ran outside to laugh with her mouth covered.

Xue Baochai glared at Jia Cong, stretched out his finger and nodded on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Brother Cong, your mouth is really getting poorer and poorer, and your skin is getting thicker and thicker, even my sister dares to laugh." ”

Jia Cong said seriously: "Sister Bao, you have wronged me, what I said is true, in fact, I also like Sister Bao, or you marry me as a daughter-in-law." ”

When Xue Baochai heard this, his face flushed, and he said: "Phew, Brother Cong actually wants to do beautiful things, my sister is the one who wants to enter the palace, don't think about it, besides, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders are not what you want." ”

"Sister Bao, these are not binding on me, I only marry the woman I like, besides, what's so good about you entering the palace, even if you are chosen, in the end, it is not to make a room for people, to be a concubine, and the status is not much better, it is better to follow me."

"Brother Cong, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, my sister's name has been reported, you better do your own thing with peace of mind, when you grow up, my sister will find you a daughter-in-law."

After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh "poof".

This Xue Baochai seems to really regard himself as a child, and he is not a little embarrassed to talk about it.

He sat down on the side, stared at Jia Cong's eyes and asked, "Brother Cong, have you heard that the fleet of the Li family trading house has been robbed, and their shops and industries in various places have also been looted, this time it is really a heavy loss." ”

Jia Cong knew that this girl was here to inquire about the news again.

At the moment, he said unhurriedly: "I heard that I also bought a few guys from the Li family, knowing the news, I didn't expect that I had done useless work, but someone taught them a lesson for me, it was really relieving." ”
