Chapter 67: King Song

"The mutton soup is good."

Early in the morning, Zheng Chaoming left the inn and made a bowl of mutton soup on the side of the road.

At this time, the spices are comparable to gold and silver, and ordinary people can't eat them, so this mutton soup is boiled with a little salt.

To be honest, it's not delicious to say it's delicious, it's better than the original.

"Zheng Chaoming!"

Zheng Chaoming heard someone shouting to him, and looked up suspiciously, and there was a person in military uniform in front of him.

"Cui Huai!" Zheng Chaoming recognized the person, at this time Cui Huai was wearing an iron helmet and armor, dressed like a general.

"Sit down."

Cui Huai looked down at the low stool, a little disgusted, but still sat down.

"Boss, one more." Zheng Chaoming greeted.

Cui Huai hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't need it." ”

"I'm in for a treat." Zheng Chaoming seemed to be a little disgusted when he saw Cui Huai, knowing that this famous family was born, this roadside stall probably couldn't see it.

However, although he understood, Zheng Chaoming insisted that this kid try the roadside stall.

Cui Huai is helpless, he is a dignified five-grade official, eating roadside stalls, is it a little inappropriate.

The mutton soup was served, and Cui Huai stared at the pottery bowl with a frown.

Zheng Chaoming asked, "When did you arrive in Luoyang?" ”

Cui Huai lowered his head and sniffed the smell, and when he heard the words, he said, "I just arrived last night." ”

"Cui Dianjun, do you have a business at home?"

Cui Huai was born in the Cui family, these big families are so-called heirlooms of poetry and books, and they despise business, but which one has left business, and these people have more shops than anyone else.

Cui Huai was a little puzzled, but Zheng Chaoming and King Song intersected, loved the house and Wu, and his senses for Zheng Chaoming also changed, otherwise it would be impossible to sit together.

"There are three shops in the house, but my wife has always been in charge, and I don't count them."

Zheng Chaoming thought to himself that this Boling Cui clan was thicker than him when he plucked his leg hair, and if these people wanted to make a human face flower sound, no one would dare to care if they didn't open their eyes.

"Chaoyang, what's the matter?" Cui Huai asked, Cui Huai is older than Zheng Chaoming, and he thinks that he was born into a famous family, and his official rank is high enough, so he calls him by name.

Zheng Chaoming said: "Cui Dianjun has heard the news of the human face flower in Luoyang City?" ”

Cui Huai just arrived, where did he know this, and was about to ask.

At this time, three more people made it to the stall.

One said: "Have you heard, something happened to the left-behind mansion!" ”

The other two asked suspiciously, "No, what can happen to the left-behind mansion?" ”

"My second aunt's relatives are servants in the Stay-behind Mansion, and I heard them say that Tiantie Xiong is dead."

Hearing this, the other two disagreed: "This bear has been around for some years, and it is normal for him to die of old age." ”

The man immediately disdainfully said: "What do you know, the iron bear was not a mortal thing that day, how could it be old and dead, this bear was killed by someone, the bear skin was stripped by someone, and the bear paw was also chopped away, even the bear bile was also taken out!" ”

"Shhh

The two of them immediately gasped, this is a heavenly iron bear.

The three of them continued to chatter.

Cui Huai was also very shocked when he heard the news.

Zheng Chaoming didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, everyone on the street knew about it, and he thought that the whole of Luoyang would also know about it.

"Cui Dianjun, let's go on." Zheng Chaoming said.

Cui Huai was a little puzzled, Zheng Chaoming actually didn't care about the matter of Tiantie Xiong, and he wasn't curious.

Pressing the doubts in his heart, he asked, "You say, what's wrong with this human face flower?" ”

Zheng Chaoming hurriedly talked about the matter of the human face flower.

After listening to Zheng Chaoming's words, Cui Huai realized that the high price and the huge profits in it were unimaginable.

"How about it, Cui Dianjun, you can deliberately get involved."

Cui Huai can be dismissive of a thousand dollars, he can treat 10,000 dollars as a matter of course, but he can't turn a blind eye to a hundred thousand dollars.

"What you say is true? Do you have a large number of human faces on hand? At this time, Cui Huai's heart was hot, he was not Cui's sister-in-law, and naturally there was not much money he could use.

Zheng Chaoming smiled: "Naturally, Cui Dianjun, how about it." ”

Cui Huai smiled: "Brother Chaoyang, don't be so polite, just call me Cui Huai, where do you live now?" ”

Zheng Chaoming left the address, and Cui Huai said: "Brother Chaoyang, you give me some time, I'll get in touch, there will be news today." ”

Zheng Chaoming nodded and said, "This source of goods was taken from me, and it still needs to be kept secret." ”

Cui Huai Zhengse said: "That's right, if you let other families know, this business won't be able to be done." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly got up and left.

"Now, the black and white roads have been opened, and the genuine and inexpensive human face flowers will inevitably sell better than the adulterated human face flowers."

Zheng Chaoming was happy in his heart, this matter can be regarded as a success, just wait for Fei Jishi to come.

After finishing the meal, Zheng Chaoming walked home leisurely.

said that Cui Huai left in a hurry, and at first he wanted to find the Cui Merchant House in Luoyang, but as he walked, he had other attention in his heart.

He changed direction and went straight to the Song King's Courtyard.

The road was unimpeded and came to the other courtyard, where Li Chengqi was in the study at this time.

Cui Huai hurriedly walked in and saluted: "Cui Huai has seen His Highness." ”

Song Wang was standing at the desk, holding a wolf hair, the pen turned, and the words jumped on the paper.

After a long time, a work was completed, and then I put down the brush in my hand.

took the silk handkerchief and wiped his hand slowly, and then said: "Cui Huai, didn't I tell you that you should be calm when you encounter things." ”

Cui Huai waited for so long, his heart calmed down, and said, "Cui Huai wrote it down." ”

"Tell me, something." Li Chengqi put down his handkerchief and turned around and walked out of the study.

The two of them walked to the promenade, and below them was a pool with water lilies and red and golden carp swimming freely.

"Your Highness, I met Zheng Chaoming、、、、"

Cui Huai hurriedly explained the morning's events in detail.

"Someone's coming." Li Chengqi shouted not far away.

An elderly eunuch hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Highness." ”

"Li Zhong, have you ever heard of the human face flower?"

Li Zhong is the eunuch in charge of this courtyard, and he lives in Luoyang on weekdays, and he will naturally know about the local turmoil.

He hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the human face flower has only appeared in the past few days, and it is said that this flower is like a human face, and it is applied to the face after the water, and it melts into the skin, and after nine hundred and eighty-one days, it is as pink as a girl, but this flower is very expensive, and the old slave has only heard of it, and has not seen the real thing." ”

"Alright, you can step aside."

"Yes, the old slave is retired." The old eunuch slowly retreated, and stood with the guards not far away.

"Your Highness, it seems that what Zheng Chaoming said is true." Cui Huai said.

"Hmm." Li Chengqi nodded, but in his heart, he was thinking about this person's face.

He naturally heard of this thing, the human face flower is produced from the big food, and a batch of tributes have been paid to the previous dynasty, and the nobles in the palace of the former dynasty have used it, but why does it appear now.

"What the hell is the conspiracy in between?"

The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, and Li Chengqi couldn't help frowning.

Cui Huai didn't think about it so much, he said: "Your Highness, our palace also has manpower, why don't you sell some to subsidize the use of the mansion?" ”

The prince of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the dignified King of Song, there is no fiefdom, and he only has 2,500 households.

In addition, there are some official positions, although there are a lot, but the palace also has a lot of people.

If you rely on this money, that is, to maintain normal use, if you want to make friends with officials and buy people's hearts, it is far from enough.

"Go and ask Zheng Chaoming to come over, this king wants to talk to him face to face."
