Chapter 29: The Thief
Qianfu backyard.
The large courtyard has been transformed into several small wooden huts, large and small, with servants constantly transporting materials back and forth.
The backyard looks like a lively factory, very noisy.
"Young master, we have steadily produced 3,000 pieces of soap a day, but according to the business won by our soap shop, do we want to expand it again?"
Lin Chengjie, the shopkeeper of the soap shop, is a gray-haired middle-aged man who has always done his best for the Qianjia family, and is a subordinate whom Qianyoucai trusts very much.
"No, do it slowly, those businesses have already signed the contract, and they won't run."
Qianfeng said unhurriedly.
Now there is no one on the market who can imitate soap, so these soap buying businesses cannot run.
Lin Chengjie nodded, and then lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, there have been a lot of spies in our Qianfu recently. ”
"Did you catch them all?"
"I caught it, and finally sent it to the county office, as for the ...... behind"
Lin Chengjie didn't finish speaking, and he was bailed out in the end.
"The soap making process must be kept secret, and it can be pressed day by day."
Qianfeng is not afraid of losing the secret recipe, because he also monopolizes the largest local butcher shops, and the meat of all kinds of farmers is also his Qianfeng's industry.
"The villain understands."
After Lin Chengjie finished speaking, he went to supervise the work.
The soap shop is now only in business for an hour during the day, because soap is touted so much, even if they sell it for 200 yuan a piece, they are sold out in a short period of time after opening in the morning, so that many small traders who buy soap in the market begin to sell soap at a high price.
Qianfeng did not suppress the profit-making behavior of this group of traders, the more fiercely they speculated, the greater the reputation of soap, and the more money followed.
If soap weren't well known, there wouldn't be countless buyers willing to spend a lot of money on it.
"Husband."
Just as Qianfeng was thinking about whether the workshop was going to expand, Qin Qiao'er came with Qin Yourong.
"Qiao'er, why didn't you take Yourong out to play, why did you come here."
On weekdays, Qin Qiao'er rarely comes here in this backyard.
Qin Qiao'er smiled and said, "It's Yourong who wants to come here to have a look, so I brought her over." ”
Qin Yourong stared at a pair of curious eyes, looked around, and was a little surprised by the busy people coming and going here, but her next sentence almost made Qianfeng's jaw drop: "Husband, there are so many people here." ”
"Husband?"
The corners of Qianfeng's eyes twitched, and before he could speak, he saw Qin Qiao'er pulling Qin Yourong and shouting, "Yourong, husband, did you shout?" You haven't passed through the door yet. ”
After speaking, Qin Qiao'er's face turned red, she wanted Qianfeng to let Qin Yourong go, but later Qianfeng's performance was very recognized by her father, and Qin Yourong naturally became Qianfeng's second concubine who did not pass the door.
"Oh......"
Qin Yourong sighed, and a pair of big eyes flashed, revealing a confused look.
"And what should I call it?"
Qin Yourong threw another bombshell.
Qianfeng had a headache, and the sisters of the Qin family were all married as concubines, but because Qin Yourong was too young, Qianfeng never thought of treating her as a wife.
Now that I think about it, such a tender little Lori calls her husband...... What a sin!
"Just call your husband, when you grow up, it's not too late to call your husband again."
Qianfeng pinched Qin Yourong's face and said with a smile.
"Husband?"
Qin Yourong shouted timidly.
"Hey."
Qianfeng repented in his heart, although he couldn't have evil thoughts about Qin Yourong, but such a little Lori called himself a husband, which also made him excited.
It is impossible to return the goods, after all, Qin Jun also said that the two daughters will be entrusted to Qianfeng to take care of.
Thinking of his father-in-law Qin Jun, Qianfeng suddenly remembered him, he had been squatting in the county government prison for so long, and the time was almost the same.
"By the way, is my father-in-law in the yamen prison now?"
Talking about her father, Qin Qiaoer said: "I went to see my father a few days ago, and I had a good time in prison. ”
"Moisturizing?"
Jail...... Still moisturizing?
Qianfeng was dumbfounded.
"It's not because of you, the cell boss said that the county magistrate named him to entertain his father."
Qin Qiao'er also thought that her father would have a bad time in prison at first, but she went to visit and found that Qin Jun's life in prison was not only full of wine and meat, but even walked in prison, as long as he didn't go out, the other cell bosses didn't care.
Qianfeng was embarrassed, so he said: "My father-in-law will be released from prison in a few days, right?" ”
"I'll be out of prison tomorrow."
Qin Qiao'er chuckled, thinking that her father could live comfortably in prison, and her previous hanging heart was also relieved.
"That's right, when my father-in-law is released from prison, I will give him a big gift."
Qianfeng nodded.
"Husband, there is a ...... behind the water tank there"
Suddenly, Qin Yourong pointed to a water tank in the southwest corner of the courtyard.
Qianfeng and Qin Qiao'er suddenly focused their eyes on the water tank.
"Yourong, don't mess around, how can there be anyone in the water tank?"
The tank is about three feet high, covered with moss, and there are only two osmanthus trees around, so there is no place for anyone to hide.
"How can there be a Tibetan behind such a low water tank?"
"But Yourong just saw it."
Qin Yourong said in a milky voice, insisting that she was not dazzled.
Qianfeng smiled: "Since Yourong said that she saw it, then let's go over and take a look." ”
With that, the three of them walked over.
From a distance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the tank, but when he got closer, Qianfeng realized that something was wrong.
How could there be a pile of sediment behind this tank?
And there is a wheat stalk on the sand, which is very abrupt.
Could it be ......
Qianfeng noticed something unusual, and immediately hinted to Qin Qiao'er not to make a sound.
Qianfeng coughed and said to a few people passing by behind him, "Come here and help me lift this water tank." ”
At the same time, Qianfeng pointed to the pile of sediment.
The people understood and stepped forward.
The next moment, these subordinates stepped towards the pile of mud and sand with their feet!
"Ouch!"
A scream came from the mud and sand, and then a dirty, small man jumped out of it.
"Catch him!"
Qianfeng gave an order, and the three subordinates immediately pressed the little man to the ground.
Although the other party resisted, it was a pity that he was facing three people, and it was impossible for him to run.
"Uncle spare your life, uncle spare your life!"
The little man's voice was unusually thick, and if you looked closely, he still had a beard on his face, and it was not a child, but an adult!
"Who sent you?"
Qianfeng asked coldly.
The little man showed panic, knowing that he couldn't run, and hurriedly shouted: "I'm just a passerby, and I accidentally want to come to the master's house to steal some money, and I want to subsidize the family." ”
"Stealing? You came to this worker's backyard to steal money? ”
Qianfeng sneered, can this kind of lame reason be spoken?
"Set this guy up, whip him up, interrogate him well until he tells the truth!"
