Chapter 100: What's the Secret?
Zhu Bai shook his head: "No, no, no, I just want to know who the boss is." Real bosses. It's not the one sitting at the counter. ”
The second tiger suddenly realized.
A lot of business in the city is secretly controlled by the powerful people of the dynasty, but they are afraid of Lao Zhu, so they will push a person who has nothing to do with them to be the shopkeeper.
For example, the fried chestnut shop.
Erhu hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
Zhu Bai naturally knew his concerns: this is what it is not good to offend people alone.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to check, that was his business.
Zhu Bai is not his boss, he doesn't have to listen to Zhu Bai.
But Zhu Bai's current status is second only to Zhu Biao, he is a big celebrity around Lao Zhu, and he is a child, very willful and reckless, which makes him unhappy and can't eat and walk around.
So many people who have lost their heads lately are bloody examples.
Zhu Bai comforted him and said, "I'm not embarrassed by that restaurant." Pure curiosity. ”
Erhu still didn't say anything.
Zhu Bai sighed, took out the sign of "Ru I am here", and held it in his hand.
Erhu could only give up: "The minister will go and check." ”
Tsk, it's good to be obedient early.
I have to take this brand out and show it off.
Zhu Bai was secretly amused, put the sign away and said, "Please be sure to check quietly and don't let anyone know." ”
Then he swaggered away.
As soon as Erhu waited for Zhu Bai to leave, he went in and told Lao Zhu about it.
Lao Zhu actually knew that Zhu Bai went to the "Juxian Building" to eat and pick up balls today and was scolded and cried, but he didn't know what happened in the backyard.
At this time, he was not surprised to hear Erhu say that Zhu Bai wanted to check the boss of "Juxian Building".
Not to mention Zhu Bai, even he wanted to go and demolish Juxian Tower at this time.
It's one thing to think, though.
It's another thing to actually do it.
Recently, he has also begun to worry that the grace and power he has given to Zhu Bai are too strong, which will make this child arrogant and crooked from now on.
For example, at this moment, Zhu Bai asked Erhu to investigate this, and it is very likely that he wanted to start directly with the boss and take revenge to relieve his hatred.
If that's the case, he really wants to suppress Zhu Bai and let him restrain himself.
After pondering for a moment, Lao Zhu said, "Well, you can go and check." Check it out and tell me first. ”
The second tiger was relieved and saluted: "Obey." ”
-----
Erhu quickly found out the news and told Lao Zhu: "The boss of Juxian Tower is the commander of Lan Du of the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division. ”
A small six-grade official can actually open the largest restaurant in the city.
You don't need to check to know that there is a problem.
Lao Zhu Qiang suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head and asked Zhu Biao: "Who recommended this Landu commander at that time." ”
He remembered that Lan Tian was also an old man with military merits, but he was not very good.
If it were according to his own preferences, he should not have handed over the Terracotta Division to Lan Tian at that time, so there must have been someone with a higher position who recommended it to him.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and replied: "Erchen remembers that it is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Li Cunyi." ”
Lao Zhu pursed his lips: Ah, by the way, he remembered that he originally wanted to appoint Gu Cheng. Li Cunyi strongly recommended Lantian, and he couldn't help but give this face. was wronged, and Gu Cheng became the deputy commander.
That's equivalent to Li Shanchang's business.
Li Shanchang has a lot of business in the city, and he knows it.
All of this business was handled through his relatives and men.
Then they paid "protection money" to Li Shanchang under various names.
Erhu asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, do you want to tell His Royal Highness the King of Xiang?" ”
Lao Zhu replied: "If he doesn't ask, forget it." If he asks you, tell him, don't say I already know. After telling him, you are to send someone to keep an eye on him, keep him safe without his knowledge, and report his every move to me. ”
As soon as Erhu heard about this task, he began to have a headache.
You can't let him know and keep him safe.
With Zhu Bai's temperament, I don't know what strange and bold things he will do......
------
Zhu Bai really came to ask Erhu quickly.
After hearing Erhu say that the behind-the-scenes boss of "Juxian Building" was commanded by Lan Du, he was as silent as Zhu Yuanzhang.
Erhu cautiously reminded him: "Your Highness must not mess around. ”
Your dad knows all about it.
If you die, your father will kill you.
Zhu Bai didn't hear Erhu's words at all, waved his hand at Erhu and ran away.
Then he took the rich cat outside the "Juxian Building".
A cat is half an hour.
Fugui asked, "What are Your Highness waiting for?" ”
He originally thought that Zhu Bai came today to demolish the "Juxian Building".
Zhu Bai said: "I'm waiting for an honest man who is good to come out." ”
Fugui: "And then?" ”
Zhu Bai: "Robbery, torture to extract confessions." ”
Fugui: "No, Your Highness, the guests here are innocent. ”
Before the words fell, Zhu Bai had already stood up, rushed out, and explained to Fugui in his mouth: "Don't follow too closely." Watch me gesture and come up again. ”
Fugui cried in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey and followed Zhu Bai from afar.
Zhu Bai followed a merchant into a small alley and beckoned behind him.
Immediately, they swarmed the man and blocked the man in the alley.
The merchant was frightened, shrunk into a ball, and asked with trembling lips, "What are the heroes going to do?!" ”
The fierce guards were stunned for a moment, and they all turned their heads to look at Zhu Bai: Ah, yes, what are you doing blocking people in the alley?
Zhu Bai smiled gently at the merchant: "Don't be afraid, this uncle, I just want to see the note in your arms." It's the one you showed to the backyard guard of the 'Juxian Building' just now. ”
When the merchant heard this, he was nervous, and clutched his chest: "Master, please spare me." That thing is at stake in my life. Besides, sir, it's useless for you to take it. ”
Zhu Bai said: "No, no, no, I don't want it, I'll just take a look." ”
The guards originally thought that they were going to do the business of killing people and robbing money, but when they heard that they just wanted a piece of paper, they wished they could finish it as soon as possible, and let the person go, and immediately whispered to the merchant: "Our master wants to see it, you can take it out quickly." Otherwise, you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
The merchant's tears rolled in his eyes, but he had no choice but to take out the paper in his arms and say, "Master, I still have a wife and children at home, and they all count on me to make money to go back to support." ”
Zhang Yu grabbed it and handed it to Zhu Bai: "My young master will take a look, what are you talking about?" ”
Zhu Bai took it, and it read: Two hundred catties of good long-staple cotton. After the inquest was completed, the market value was 120 taels of silver.
Really......
He flipped the paper over and over again, and asked the merchant, "Where did you get this?" ”
There are no complicated patterns, and there are no other security markings, which is too illogical.
Since it can be identified by the guards at a glance, there must be a mark that people can't imitate.
The merchant was silent.
Zhu Bai smiled and said to the merchants: "I have an elder brother who also wants to come to Yingtian to do business, but I don't know the doorway inside. Ask me to inquire for him. ”
