The first cycle –

"Madam, investigate the recent movements of the tea family and the Bei family for me."

"Find out where their silver goes."

Chu Qianqiu hugged Mrs. Nightingale and said seriously.

"Yes, sir."

"Is your lord in love with the daughters of the two of them?"

Lady Nightingale spoke suddenly.

"Do you think this official is this kind of person?"

Chu Qianqiu knocked Mrs. Nightingale on the head angrily.

"Obviously, yes."

Madame Nightingale covered her mouth and smiled, and she gradually came to understand that Tadamu-sama, in addition to being lustful, was a very good-tempered person.

So she slowly let go of her guts and joked with Lord Chungmu.

"I'll clean you up next time."

"Remember, I want the most detailed information about the two families, and it's best to find out the secret silver and silver trends of the two families."

"Your Excellency, do you want to be like Emperor Xianzong and collect the privileges of the two families?"

"Oh, why would Madame say that?"

Chu Qianqiu asked rhetorically.

"Do you want to take the school slave exam?"

"This tea house has a monopoly on the best tea in Yuzhou, but the quality of the tea is getting worse and worse, and the business is getting worse and worse."

"Shenwu exports tens of millions of tea to Daxia every year, but the income is only one million, and the tea merchants in Jiangzhou and Haizhou have earned silver taels."

"Even the nobles of Daxia have begun to reject the tea in Yuzhou."

"The tea family has the best tea house in the world, the best tea species, if you don't care about the immortal tea of Zhenwumen, the medicinal tea of Yaowangzong, and the tea that normal nobles drink, they all come from Yuzhou."

Chu Qianqiu suddenly remembered that the last time the tea family visited General Dou, it was hoped that within the control of the Shence Army, only Yuzhou's tea could be sold. (Note: Chapter 854)

Tea is actually very special, it is not like firewood and salt are necessities of life, and it is more inclined to luxury.

Generally speaking, it is enjoyed by the dignitaries and the citizen class, and if you do it too poorly, no one will want to consume it.

The imperial court wanted to prohibit other people from producing tea, and only allowed tea families to sell it, which was also unrealistic and easy to offend public anger, so the monopoly position of the tea family was far inferior to that of the Qian family in Haizhou.

The Bei family also makes the same way, porcelain is such a thing, you can establish a government-run organization, but it is a bit too much to prohibit others from making porcelain.

Therefore, the tea family and the Bei family, in terms of business conditions, are the worst of the eight imperial merchants, and they even lose money in some years.

This made the royal family deeply dissatisfied with them in the past some time.

The royal family asked you to do these two industries in order to save money for the inner money, and now you still have to pay the royal silver, are you looking for death?

"A few years ago, the prime minister also proposed to cancel the privileges of the tea family and the Pei family, and re-select the imperial merchants, including the Qian family in Haizhou."

I see.

Chu Qianqiu finally understood, why the tea family and the Bei family might have colluded with King Jing.

Because they originally relied on speculation in the Xiao family's royal family, they enjoyed nearly three hundred years of wealth.

Now the royal family has begun to feel that you are enjoying too much, giving too little, and there is a feeling that you are taking your privileges back.

Then it is natural for them to be friendly with King Jing, and even expect the other party to succeed and continue to enjoy wealth and nobility.

The Tang family and the Fan family, military factories that have mastered technical capabilities, will have a greater degree of freedom of choice.

"Madam said it very well, follow the clues of these two imperial merchants, of course, the information of the Qian family cannot be missing."

Chu Qianqiu smiled.

"Yes, sir."

"Can you let go now?"

Madame Nightingale said angrily.

"Eh, doesn't Madame want a reward?"

"Phew, that's not a reward."

The two had fun for a while.

This time, Chu Qianqiu did not stay in Peacock City, returned to Shangjing in advance, once again cast a magic spell, resurrected King Jing, and then ambushed in the prison, waiting for Zheng Shangshu's performance.

Chu Qianqiu was very happy when he thought that he suddenly gave him a report when the whistleblower was writing a report letter.

In this way, the favor of Zen Master Zuyuan has been omitted.

……

Shangjing, Heavenly Prison

Zheng Shangshu mysteriously injected his soul into the [Maitreya Buddha Statue], and his connection with King Jing was instantly established.

"Zheng Shangshu, now Chu Qianqiu's dog thief, the resurrected king, is it the shadow warrior who is disguised, or is there another mystery?"

King Jing's voice was quickly transmitted.

After all, it's not easy to confirm that it's a zombie.

"If you go back to the king, you can be sure that he is not a living person, but a zombie."

"Chu Zhongwu used the body left by the king in Shangjing."

"The king is still confused, how can these flesh and blood bodies stay casually."

"You must know that in the era when the Demon Dao was rampant, the Blood Demon Sect, the Netherworld Sect, and the Demon Luo Sect all had similar plotting methods."

Zheng Shangshu's performance on weekdays is normal, except for catching more prisoners and encouraging people to arrest more prisoners in various places, his intellectual performance is quite normal.

"This king also knows that this is very inappropriate, but fortunately, this king has obtained the Blood Demon Gate's "Burning Blood Dafa", which can isolate the flesh-and-blood relationship and prevent prying eyes."

Oh, it turns out that King Jing has a little connection with the overseas magic way.

Hurry up and make a note for you.

Dare to hit my little report, wait for death.

Chu Qianqiu listened quietly while [Time Travel Realm] and made a hard note to them.

His current hidden kung fu is already the first in the world, and after getting the "Taizu First Dragon Formula", he has become truly elusive.

Ordinary martial arts masters use mental power scanning, but they can't find him directly.

Not to mention Zheng Shangshu, a master of gathering.

However, it is normal for the Demon Gate to cooperate with King Jing, and those Demon Dao have long been beaten by the righteous path forces.

Now that the world is coming, they will definitely take the opportunity to move twice.

King Jing is a relatively good investment object, which will naturally attract a large number of refuge.

"This king can't figure it out, that flesh and blood clone should have died of exhaustion, how did Chu Zhongwu not show his flaws?"

King Jing asked puzzled.

"Lord Wang, if Xia Guan didn't guess wrong, he should have used an elixir to prolong his life, or even an elixir."

Zheng Shangshu is also one of the best people in the world in terms of tracking details, and he is quite familiar with the refining method of zombies, and even King Jing's body is what he has investigated and determined.

Such a decrepit and old flesh and blood was forcibly revived by Chu Qianqiu with an elixir, which is no longer something that can be solved by ordinary means.

"It's fucking sick."

King Jing couldn't bear it anymore.

As soon as he heard that someone was using the elixir, in order to make a zombie, this was no longer using gold to make a toilet, but using gold as a brick, not to mention a waste.

It was this trick that made him uncomfortable.

"Lord Wang, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry, this king still has an idea, Chu Zhongwu's hand can't shake the overall situation."

"What you have to do now is to secretly report to Wanshou Temple, and at the same time provide more death row prisoners."

"No problem." Zheng Shangshu hurriedly said.

"So be it."

King Jing hurriedly ended the conversation, while Zheng Shangshu picked up the letter and prepared to write the content of the report letter about Chu Qianqiu.

"Zheng Shangshu, what are you writing?"

"Chu Zhongwu?"

Zheng Shangshu shook his brush, and the report letter he had just written was about to be torn up, but it fell into Chu Qianqiu's hands.

"I've heard everything just now."

"King Jing colludes with the Demon Dao, you collude with King Jing."

"You are the secretary of the criminal department, say it."

"Do you want to cut it in half, or Ling Chi, pick one yourself."

"This official is very merciful and will definitely grant your wishes."

Chu Qianqiu said with a smile, and at the same time, Si Ming Xingjun was directly possessed, so that he did not have the slightest power to resist.

Zheng Shangshu's forehead broke out in cold sweat, he slipped to his knees on the spot, kowtowed and said:

"Lord Zhongwu, the lower officials have been wronged."

"All this is due to the persecution of King Jing."

"The lower officials are willing to change their ways and return to the right."

How can this sound so familiar?
