Chapter 43: The Nian Family
However, Lin Xing reacted quickly, raised her eyebrows and asked, "So I guessed right, that thing is fairy cream, right?" ”
Xiao Yi fell silent again, and then went offline directly.
"There is still a temper." Lin Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
was sure that it was what he thought, and that the future would not develop in the direction he was worried about, so Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
The most important thing now is to find out who brought that thing to Qingchao.
Early the next morning, Lin Xing heard Zhao Jie's voice before she woke up, "Mother, wake up quickly, the son of the world is here!" Tanglin Pharmacy has found something! ”
As soon as she heard the words Tanglin Pharmacy, Lin Xing immediately turned over from the bed, washed and changed her clothes, dressed up, and quickly ran out under the service of Chunmian and Chunxiao, and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"Sister-in-law, slow down, don't be in such a hurry." Zhou Yan looked at the fluttering moth hair crown on Lin Xing's head, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Zhao Jie stared at her hair crown and asked, "Why do you wear such a childish hair crown?" ”
"You know what? This is an antique imitation of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the gold is expensive. Lin Xing glanced at him angrily, turned his head and asked Zhou Yan, "The persimmons haven't had breakfast yet, right?" Go to the flower hall and talk while eating. ”
With that, she asked Chunmian to arrange the meal, and she took a group of people to the flower hall.
After sitting down, Zhou Yan saw that Lin Xing was anxious, and said bluntly: "Zhang Ping squatted outside the Tanglin Pharmacy all night, and found a pair of carriages and horses, passing by the Tanglin Mausoleum in the middle of the night, and entering the backyard of the Tanglin Pharmacy. ”
"Have you found out who that carriage and horse is?" Lin Xing asked after thinking for a while.
Zhou Yan had already sent people to keep an eye on the Tanglin Pharmacy before, and he had never found that a large amount of immortal ointment had been sent in, indicating that the time for them to send immortal ointment was a long time apart.
But the Tanglin Pharmacy obviously doesn't have that many people, which means that they have other helpers in Yuzhou.
Hearing this question, Zhou Yan raised his lips and smiled, "You also know this person, not only do you know him, but he also has an old relationship with Zhao Xiaogongzi." ”
Lin Xing glanced at Zhou Yan strangely, not sure if he was talking about the original owner or himself.
But after thinking about it and reacting, if it was the original owner, he probably wouldn't have said this, so he only came into contact with him after he knew him......
"Could it be the Nian family?" Lin Xing suddenly realized.
As soon as Zhao Jie heard the name of the Nian family, he immediately gritted his teeth angrily: "If it is really those bastards, I will definitely cut down Nian Ruipeng's turtle son!" ”
"If it's really the Nian family, then they can't escape the blame for their deaths." Lin Xing's voice also cooled.
"I only had time to find out that those carriages and horses were sent out by the Nian family, and I didn't have time to check more carefully. Zhang Ping is still outside, and a little later, he will go back to Nanluoguxiang, and he will know at that time. Zhou Yan said unhurriedly.
"How could the Nian family come into contact with such a thing as immortal ointment?" Zhao Jie was full of curiosity.
It's not that he is boasting, the Zhao family has dabbled in all the businesses that can be done in the entire Yuzhou City, but the immortal ointment, let alone dabbling, has never even heard of it.
"Maybe it's not that the Zhao family hasn't been in contact, but your father refused." Zhou Yan stared at Zhao Jie with a solemn expression and said.
He didn't elaborate, but Zhao Jie quickly understood that since the immortal paste was not owned by the Daqing Dynasty, it was transported from the sea.
The Zhao family has never opened a sea route, firstly because his father is unwilling to take risks, and secondly because he has rejected the prince, even if he wants to apply to the government, he will be rejected, so his father simply does not touch this soft nail.
These days, Zhao Jie has learned a lot of things from Zhao Zhong, knows a lot of past events, and his brain is more active than before.
has already thought of this step, and naturally can also deduce the relationship between the Nian family and the prince.
"It seems that the Nian family has surrendered to the prince." Zhao Jie said thoughtfully.
"It's just a young family, and the prince won't put it in his eyes." Zhou Yan shook his head with a smile.
Even though the Nian family is considered rich and noble, compared to the Zhao family, it is really a small thing, and the prince bothered to gnaw the bone of the Zhao family, how could a Nian family satisfy his appetite?
However, Zhao Jie's words also made Zhou Yan think of something.
For example, who opened the sea route for the Nian family?
Who matched the Nian family and let him do the business of fairy ointment?
They can't rashly investigate the things behind this, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the prince, and when the time comes, even if they sue the emperor, they have no chance of winning.
Chunxiao retreated with the teacup, and only the three of them were left in the flower hall in endless silence.
After a while, Zhao Jie glanced up at Zhou Yan, then at Lin Xing, and said: "This matter has to start with the Nian family, the two old people of the Nian family are fox spirits, and the only one who can start is the small one." ”
"Nian Ruipeng?" Lin Xing thought of the young man who was as thin as a bamboo pole, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Nian Ruipeng, this kid has a soft spot for the little red sleeves in the Chunfeng Building, and the little red sleeves will pick up customers for the first time in the Chunfeng Building three days later, and Nian Ruipeng will definitely go." Zhao Jie said, rubbing his chin maliciously, "Nian Ruipeng has always felt that our Zhao family has fallen to this point, and when the time comes, if I bargain with him, he will definitely be fooled." But the old fox would never give him money, so he had to beg me. ”
Lin Xing glanced at Zhao Jie and said with a smile: "Now why does he think that the Zhao family is down?" Since the division of the family, who in the entire Yuzhou City does not feel that the Zhao family has declined? ”
said so, but Lin Xing still asked: "How much silver are you going to take to argue with him?" ”
"Nian Ruipeng can use no more than three thousand taels of silver in his hand, but if he is against me, he will have to at least double it." Zhao Jie leaned back in the chair with a smile, and he looked angry, which caused Zhou Yan's eyes to warn.
In front of Zhou Yan, Zhao Jie didn't dare to get carried away, so he had to say with a straight posture: "Don't worry, I will definitely do this for you without spending a penny!" ”
Lin Xing didn't believe it, but when he saw Zhao Jie's vow, he asked him to let it go, if the silver was not enough, just go to Zhao Ji Qian Zhuang to get it.
Zhao Jie got the right words and immediately left with a smile.
Seeing that he left without even eating breakfast, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you believe he can settle this matter?" ”
"Zhao Jie is not a stupid person." Lin Xing looked at the door with her forehead propped up, "I also want to know if he can get this done." ”
If he can really do it, he should also consider hiring a gentleman to guide him on the right path.
Thinking of the fate of Zhao Jie that Xiao Yi told him, Lin Xing sighed deeply.
The road ahead is difficult, and she has to be careful in her calculations!
