Chapter 73: Darkness Chen Cang
"Tai's side—there is His Highness over there, and he must not refute His Highness's face." Xu Minsheng raised his eyebrows and said.
"Xu Minsheng, it's time to make fun of the widow."
"The Lu family, the Lu family is simple-minded, they are only keen on making money, and they have never interfered in the affairs of the court." Xu Minsheng said.
"Simple-minded?" King Cheng sneered.
"They are bent on seeking wealth, but they don't seek power, they don't touch women, they don't get involved in gambling, so why not earn this money cleanly?" Xu Minsheng twisted his goatee and said slowly.
King Cheng was speechless, and mentioned the Qiu family, the patriarch of the Qiu family was old, and his son-in-law Qiu Yunsong saw through the red dust, traveled all over the world, and asked for immortals. It has long been gone, and the real power in his hands has fallen into the hands of his son-in-law Hualin.
Hua Lin was originally just a lonely and unknown person, but he was lucky to become the housekeeper of Qiu Mansion, and then he was fortunate to be in the eyes of Qiu Mingyue, the daughter of Qiu Mansion, and became the son-in-law of Qiu Mansion. Then after Qiu Yunsong left home, he was valued by Old Man Qiu.
Hualin's experience really has to be admired and inspired, Zhen Xun thought secretly, but Hualin's unknown origin makes people confused about the routine, unlike the Tai family and the Lu family, the Qiu family started as a slaughterer, and then switched from slaughtering to the leather business, and Panlong City did not get the concessions in linen.
If the profit is less, it is a loss, and the king still understands this truth, "Gongzi Gao, you go and help the widow check the details of the flower forest." ”
"Yes." Gongzi Gao turned around to leave, but heard King Cheng say, "Slow." ”
Zhen Xun's heart mentioned his throat and eyes, did King Cheng recognize her? didn't say goodbye at the beginning, but came quietly at this time, how should she deal with it? The excuse I had come up with didn't seem to be very appropriate.
"Remember not to reveal your identity." King Cheng instructed.
In less than half a day, Gongzi Gao has inquired about the origin of Hualin, that Hualin was a very handsome offspring when he was young, he was clever and sweet, he was originally a doorman in a restaurant in the pickaxe capital, and later moved the capital to Los Angeles, Hualin also packed his bags and walked all the way to Los Angeles to make a living, and happened to meet Qiu Mingyue, the daughter of the Qiu family, who was robbed by gangsters, Hualin stepped forward regardless of the danger and blocked a knife for Miss Qiu. Master Qiu left Hualin by his side, and after healing his injuries, he let him stay in Qiu's house as a housekeeper.
It is also said that since Hua Lin came to the Qiu family, the Qiu family's business has become more and more prosperous, but in a year or two, it has become one of the top merchants in Los Angeles, and then it is a long-term love, the Qiu family's ancestors were born as butchers, and the old man Qiu didn't care about those red tape, seeing that his daughter was happy, he let Hua Lin be a son-in-law.
There is no problem with the Qiu family, there is no problem with Miss Qiu, Gongzi Gao asked the people who had dealt with Hualin again, and it turned out that this kid acted even more well, how to discuss with the Qiu family in the future, I really have to think about it.
After Zhen Xun learned the results of Gongzigao's investigation, she came to Ying'er's resting place, and only after Ying'er drank the health soup specially prepared by the food doctor did she slowly show up.
Ying'er, who had lost her gorgeous clothes, removed the jewelry on her head, and only a pearl hairpin was pinned to her long black hair, looking at Ying'er's unpowdered face, Zhen Xun really couldn't say those excuses.
Ying'er clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, trying to get up but coughing violently.
"Ahem-ahem-"
Zhen Xun helped Ying'er sit down, gently running down her back.
Ying'er raised her head and looked at Zhen Xun with a pair of red eyes, "Sister still knows to come back!" I thought you had forgotten about me! ”
"Don't be angry, speak slowly, if you want to beat or scold, I'll do whatever you want. You've been coughing for days, haven't you? People told you not to come, but you still won't listen—"
Hearing this, Ying'er raised her head suddenly, "Sister, you have already returned?" ”
"Why didn't you come back to me?"
Zhen Xun simply said what he had overheard in the City Lord's Mansion that day, "Ying'er, you don't have to worry, that demon tree has been burned by me. ”
After listening to this, Ying'er lowered her head and didn't say anything for a while, just when Zhen Xun wanted to step forward, she threw herself into Zhen Xun's arms, buried her head in Zhen Xun's waist, and whimpered and cried like a child.
Zhen Xun didn't speak, just patted her back gently, for a long time, Ying'er rubbed Zhen Xun's waist, raised her head again, a pair of red eyes had regained calm, and she cleared her somewhat hoarse throat.
"The river has been restored, and the people of the city no longer have to hoard water to carry it."
"Well, I know, even the canal has been built."
"Our craftsmen can make very thin needles and very durable knives, and the lives of the people of the city have become better."
"The people of the city live and work in peace and contentment, and they really deserve to be Ying'er."
"However, King Cheng married Taini."
Zhen Xun didn't talk this time, just gently stopped Ying'er in his arms.
"Sister Zhen, should I be happy for him? I didn't cry, I didn't cry......" Ying'er quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand.
Zhen Xun looked down at the traces of tears on his waist, and comforted Ying'er: "Well, you didn't cry, our Ying'er is already great." ”
If it were in modern times, Ying'er should be a student in an ivory tower, and she had to worry about classes and grade points in the morning every day, but Ying'er in front of her was already the lord of a city, and a crown of flowers and branches would leave her on the throne of the city lord, which was both her glory and her responsibility.
"Sister, I'm so scared, this time, I'm afraid I'm staking the future of Panlong City on ......"
Bet on? What's on the bet? Zhen Xun asked, in fact, she felt a little strange as early as when several people were talking, Panlong City is a small city, even if the soil and water source have been purified for three years, but the time for raising livestock is not long, where can you find how many animal skins, can be called a bumper harvest, only those annual hemp plants that grow exceptionally lush because of the abundant spiritual power of the soil.
Thinking of this, Zhen Xun lowered his voice and asked, Actually, you didn't come to Los Angeles for the leather goods of the big play, but because of the sackcloth in Panlong City, you came to reduce the tax rate of sackcloth, right?
Ying'er nodded.
In King Cheng's plan, it is the first layer to let the Tai family lurking in the palace spread the news that King Cheng is ready to support Panlong City.
Then the Tai family will verify the news, and find out that the linen cloth is the commodity that Panlong City really wants to sell outside.
In order to consolidate their linen business, the Tai family would sell the linen cloth they had as soon as possible, so that the poor people would make a profit.
King Cheng will take the opportunity to seize the Taijia in the name of interfering with the market, and add the crime of raising the price of leather goods, and punish the Taijia for both crimes.
"Sister, did you say that Hualin would cooperate?" The Qiu family does not get involved in the linen business, but in the first layer of the plan of the king, it will inevitably have an impact on the Qiu family's leather business, if it is not discussed with the Qiu family in advance, then the Qiu family, which occupies half of the leather market in the future, will inevitably regard Panlong City as an enemy.
