Chapter 22
The man impatiently drove the three of an Changqing to the door and spat fiercely.
An Changqing looked at him with no guilty proficiency when he drove the guests, obviously this is not the first time. He twisted his eyebrow and looked at the man angrily: "if you do business like this, I'm afraid it won't last long."
Dude, hey, hey. I don't have time to talk to you. Let's go. "
While he was talking, the manager came down from upstairs with a gentleman in brocade clothes talking and laughing. When he saw that the man was still writing at the door, he could not bear to urge him to say, "Zhang Si, what are you doing?" There is still a batch of cloth in the storeroom to be cleaned out as soon as possible. "
The man shrank his neck, turned his head and replied, "here we go. These people think the clothes in our shop are expensive, so they are raving here."
With that, regardless of the three of an Changqing, they went to the back.
The steward looked at the three of them and said, "how many of you think the clothes in Tianyi Square are a little more expensive?"
This attitude in charge is much better than that of the clerk, and an Changqing's expression slows down, thinking that maybe the clerk can't do anything, so he nodded: "that's right." A cotton robe is too expensive for two taels of silver. "
"you don't know anything about that." The steward stroked his beard and said proudly, "Tianyi Square is no better than other shops. Tailors sew clothes for dignitaries and dignitaries, and the prices of clothes are naturally higher than those of other shops."
"even if it is a cotton-padded robe made by a tailor in the palace, is it still a cotton-padded robe?" Anfu could not help saying, "Why is it so much taller than others?" How can there be anyone like you when you open the door to do business? "
The manager's face changed slightly, suppressed it again, and said with a forced smile, "this business is a business that is willing to buy and sell." You can't blame us for being too expensive if you don't want to buy it because it's too expensive, can you? "
An Changqing looked at his expression. Originally, seeing that he was in charge of the matter politely, he thought he was different from the fellow, but now it seems that he is a nest of snakes and rats in collusion. It's just that the man in the market is exposed, but the man in charge is a traitor on the inside, and even the black ones can be said to be white without blinking an eye.
Anfu had to argue again, but an Changqing waved his hand to stop it and said, "forget it, let's go to another place to have a look."
He only came to find out the truth this time, and although he came across such an accident, he did not intend to expose it on the spot. So he did not identify himself and wanted to take this opportunity to visit other stores.
But unexpectedly, he did not intend to cause trouble, but it came to him on his own. The man who went downstairs with the steward kept silent. When he saw that he was about to leave, he smiled and said, "Little Childe, wait a minute."
An Changqing took a step and looked back at him: "is there anything else?"
The man who spoke was in his twenties, his waist was round and fat, and his white flesh was squeezed into a jujube robe, like a white dough wrapped in silk and satin, looking funny and ridiculous. But he still thought he was flirtatious, and he was still holding a folding fan in the winter. At this time, the folding fan opened two and said, "the clothes in the clothing shop are really good on this day. If the little Childe likes it, you can choose as much as you like." Zhan paid the silver. "
"No merit, no reward." An Changqing frowned slightly and saw a trace of malice in his eyes. If you lift your foot, you have to go.
Unexpectedly, when the white dough saw that he was about to leave, he stood in front of him and laughed more and more treacherously: "Don't worry, Zhan just wants to make a friend." My shop is on this street. Why don't you come back with me? what kind of clothes do you want to buy? "
His words became more and more unbearable, and he even wanted to stretch out his hand to pull an Changqing. An Changqing was about to fight back, but Zhou Helan moved faster than him behind him and hit the big cake of the white dough with a hard fist.
The white dough gave a heartbreaking howl, covering her eyes and shouting, "how dare you hit you, Master Zhan!" They're all dead! Get your ass in here and tie them up! "
Suddenly six or seven strong men dressed as housekeepers poured in outside, and they didn't know where they had rested before. At this moment, it suddenly appeared and surrounded the three of an Changqing in the middle.
Seeing that there seemed to be something lively to see, the people around them suddenly gathered around and looked curiously inside.
Afraid of causing trouble, the manager hesitated to persuade: "Master Zhan, this person comes and goes, one thing more than one thing less."
Master Zhan covered his eyes and said angrily, "forget it?" The man who dares to hit the young man hasn't been born yet! "
"hold down the prettiest one for me!" He rolled up his sleeves and said viciously, "I'm going to teach him a lesson myself."
Hearing this, servant was ready to reach out and catch an Changqing. How could an Changqing sit and wait for his death? he was about to reveal his identity, but he heard the family suddenly give a cry of grief and rolled to the ground with his hand in his hand.
The figure of Xiao Zhige, who just arrived, was also exposed. He protected an Changqing behind him and glanced around coldly: "who wants to touch the princess of this king?"
His expressionless face was scary enough, but now he was really angry and hostile, and his cold eyes seemed to hide a sword. When he looked at people, he was cut from his body.
The white dough was as pale as dirt, and as soon as its legs were weak, he knelt down: "your Majesty.". It's all a misunderstanding. "
Xiao Zhige smiled bloodthirsty, nailed heavy military boots stepped on his hand and ran over: "if this king accidentally kills you …". Is it also a misunderstanding? "
The white dough was so frightened by him that he lost his voice, trembled and could not even say the words of begging for mercy. The man in charge on one side was even more directly frightened, and all knelt down on the ground, not even daring to beg for mercy.
Outside, I don't know who suddenly said, "your Majesty is going to make a fuss.". "
The people who watched the hustle and bustle immediately shouted and dispersed, and some people were reluctant to be lively and stayed away, but stretched out their heads and looked into the shop.
Xiao Zhige turned a deaf ear and stared coldly at Childe Zhan, who was as weak as a pool of mud.
Obviously, the people who knelt on the ground outside the shop could be heard dropping the needle quietly.
Zhou Helan listened to the news coming from outside, and then looked at Xiao Zhige, like the coming of the god of murder. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid of what he looked like at this time, and silently shut up.
Only an Changqing was not frightened. He turned his head and looked around, looked at the people in the distance, then looked back at Xiao Zhige, who was full of hostility, pursed his lips, raised his hand and tugged at his sleeve.
Xiao Zhige looked at him in silence.
An Changqing did not say any words of persuasion, but he turned his eyes around, fixed on a large vase, went over and hugged the vase, and said to Xiao Zhige very seriously, "Let me do it."
Xiao Zhige did not answer, frowned for a moment, but gave way in the end.
Before the white dough had time to rejoice, she saw a large round-bellied vase hanging over her head. Without waiting for him to feel fear and fear, he only heard the crisp sound of broken porcelain and the big vase falling apart, while the white dough that had picked up a life was opened and completely fainted.
An Changqing clapped her hands and kicked him without relieving her breath. She was refreshed and said, "how dare you flirt with me?" It's too much for you. "
Xiao Zhige looked at his appearance with open teeth and claws, and the hostility gathered in his chest suddenly dispersed and was replaced by some kind of soft and sour mood. An Changqing glanced at him, raised his chin slightly and said to several frightened housekeepers, "Don't take people away, don't put them in the eye."
The housekeepers woke up from a dream and crawled away with the unconscious white dough.
In the end, all that's left is the dead stewards and buddies.
An Changqing turned around the two and said with a smile, "I'll settle your account with you later." Anfu, you take them back to the palace and lock them up. "
Anfu answered with pride, kicked the man, and said fiercely, "get up and follow me."
The man in charge dared not say a word, stood up like a quail and ran for his life and followed him.
Anfu took the people out, and the only remaining Zhou Helan looked at an Changqing and then Xiao Zhige, and immediately made up her mind to slip away behind Anfu: "I'll call the carriage."
There are only Xiao Zhige and an Changqing left in the shop.
An Changqing squinted at him and said, "do you know the king of this shop?"
Xiao Zhige said, "Yes, mine."
"I thought Prince didn't know him." An Changqing said angrily, "the shopkeeper of the shop doesn't have a good one." The price of clothes is ridiculously high. No wonder the housekeeper Wang said it went from bad to worse. If it goes on like this, not to mention making money, we will have to spend money upside down. And I think the manager is very treacherous, and I don't know if there is any dirty business in it. "
"it is Wang Fugui who is taking care of it." Xiao Zhige felt a trace of guilt almost doing something wrong in his series of accusations, and immediately pushed out the culprit, Wang Housekeeping: "I have no time to care about it."
"I'll get even with them when I get back and sort out the accounts." An Changqing was so angry that he thought that according to Xiao Zhige's indifferent approach, there must be more than one shop with problems. After all, these stewards will be at the helm of the wind, and if the employer keeps a close eye on it, they will try their best not to neglect their duties. If the owner does not watch, he is likely to make money by playing tricks.
Tianyi Square will never be like this in the first place. It must have been a long time. Seeing that the owner is not in charge of the business, this management has given birth to a mind that should not have been in mind.
"whatever you say."
An Changqing was satisfied, and remembered that this man had gone to the big camp outside the city in the morning, and finally wondered, "Why is Prince here?"
"drink with your colleagues." Xiao Zhige Road.
When he finally heard Prince mention himself, Old Third He and his party, who had been watching silently for a long time, immediately poked out their heads: "Prince and I are drinking in the restaurant over there."
He Lao San's black charcoal face smiled like a trumpet flower: "if the princess is free, she can join us." The third buys you a drink. "
As soon as the others heard him say this, their heart was over and all went to see Xiao Zhige.
Sure enough, see Xiao Zhige just relaxed face and difficult to look, cold way: "Princess does not drink."
Old Third He knew nothing about the danger, and his mouth was still honking: "if you don't drink, it's good to have a meal." We've never told the princess. Um-- "
His mouth was caught off guard by his colleagues, and the others said with a smile: "the restaurant hasn't checked out yet. I'll go back and settle the bill first." Take your time talking to the princess. "
With that, he ran away carrying him like a gust of wind.
……
When he returned to the restaurant, Old Third He was discontented, and a pair of cow eyes comparable to bronze bells stared at his colleagues who covered his mouth: "what are you doing?" I'm not finished yet! "
My colleagues roll their eyes and let you finish it. Don't try to live in peace this year, annoy Prince, and don't find a name to mess with them to death.
"but the princess is really good-looking. No wonder Prince would rather not have a woman, but also want to marry the princess home, and hide it from us. " Old Third He smacked his lips and said with envy, "if there is such a beautiful beauty, I can do it for a man."
My colleague said coolly, "Don't you say a few words? your mouth has caused less trouble." Have you forgotten the way the princess hit people with a vase? "
Boy, the vase is as tall as a four-or five-year-old. People don't even blink when they drop it, and because of their Wang Ye's temper, who dares to go up and stroke the tiger's beard when they get angry? That's how the weak princess dared to come forward.
What is even more unbelievable is that Prince is really not angry.
The generals tut-tut, thinking that the tiger also recognized the Lord at some point.
Listening to the emotion of your words and my words, Old Third He finally returned to the taste, touched the chilly back of his neck, and said to himself, "Niang".
What has he done?
Zhou Helan went to find the coachman, and an Changqing got into the carriage. Xiao Zhige hesitated a little, did not ride the horse, but also followed the car.
The people who watched in the distance gave a "Ooh" and whispered to each other.
"Wang Ye is really scared to death when he is fierce. Was that the young master of the Zhan family just now? It's also bad luck. "
"you can't say that. Didn't the young master of the Zhan family ask for it? Even if the king killed him on the spot, he also wanted to get it. "
As soon as someone said so, others immediately followed suit. Master Zhan really asked for this! Whose wife can not be angry when she is molested and bullied in the street? It's too kind of a princess to save a life!
They used to be accustomed to the saying that the king of the Northern War killed without the blink of an eye, but now they have suddenly changed their positions, and they still have to be mentioned before they react.
"Yes, Master Zhan has done a lot of immoral things, and he deserves it today. Even if the king kills him, it will be for the people! "
"when it comes to talking about it, the princess is still very good. She looks gentle and has the strength to beat people!"
"did you see what the princess looked like?"
"No, it's so far away, how can I see it clearly, but it's also very good-looking to see the figure. Isn't it all written in the script?"
……
The people are talking happily, and the protagonist who is being discussed is now gathering Fuzhai to buy roast duck. Although there was an unpleasant accident in the middle, still want to buy roast duck.
The carriage stopped in front of Jufuzhai, and Xiao Zhige went down and asked the clerk to pack a roast duck. While the man wrapped the slices of roast duck in oil paper, he stretched out his neck and looked at the carriage. At the same time, he said, "it's lucky that this roast duck can be eaten by the princess." our shopkeeper said that if the princess likes to eat, just send someone to tell me. We'll bake something fresh and hot and send it to your house. "
The man enthusiastically and boldly called the king of the Northern War, who was used to indifferent money transactions, quite unaccustomed. He frowned, was silent for a moment, threw an ingot of silver, and got into the carriage with the roast duck.
The man held the silver and looked eagerly: the princess will come again next time.
Jufuzhai's business depends on you.
……
"Why do you suddenly want to buy roast duck?" An Changqing sniffed, looked at the oil paper bag in his hand and asked.
"delicious." Xiao Zhige handed him the oil paper bag: "go back and eat."
An Changqing took it over with a question mark on his head. Although Xiao Zhige suddenly wanted to eat roast duck, the fragrance of roast duck was really very attractive, so he happily accepted it: "go back and eat together."
Xiao Zhige saw that he liked it, and his face was gentle. "I'd like to buy it for you next time," he said. "
An Changqing, who was holding the roast duck, looked at him in the twinkling of an eye, which was right in his sight. Suddenly he was blessed to understand what he meant: "is this specially bought for me?"
Xiao Zhige bluntly "um".
An Changqing looked closely at him: "like plum blossom cake?"
The man he stared at said "hmmm" again.
An Changqing smiled louder and louder and whispered, "it doesn't seem to be all wood."
On the way back, an Changqing was in a good mood and began to think about how to deal with the family thief.
As soon as it happened today, it was really unexpected that an Changqing wanted to sort out these chores later, but now that the matter comes out, other shops will certainly hear about it, so they might as well take care of it at the same time.
Thinking in his mind, he also said to Xiao Zhige, "call Chuang Tzu and the steward in the shop a little years ago and beat them first." Wait for the New year, and then slowly settle accounts. "
Xiao Zhige said, "it's up to you."
As a matter of fact, most of the others were in Yanzhou these years. After returning to Beijing, he could not bear to deal with these chores and rarely interfered in the affairs of the house. He should have handed them all over to Wang Fugui, the housekeeper, to take care of them.
An Changqing looked at his expression and continued, "Wang's housekeeper is in charge of the shops. He can't help but know the situation in Tianyi Square."
Xiao Zhige nodded, of course he thought of this. Wang Fugui can be regarded as the old man who followed him, but not his confidant. His roots are in Yanzhou and in the army. The royal mansion in Beijing is just a place for him to stay. Wang Fugui has been with him for a long time and is quite good at management. It was only then that Xiao Zhige handed over the palace to him to take care of it. It's not that he didn't know that Wang Fugui would make some money out of it. But he led a lot of troops, and he knew full well that it was like officers and men searching for trophies after winning the war. They could not be completely indulged, but they could not be completely stopped.
Therefore, he has always turned a blind eye to what Wang Fugui has done.
But it is obvious that Wang Fugui has now caused great dissatisfaction with his princess, Xiao Zhige had to cooperate with the question: "what do you want to do with him?"
"there is a shortage of people at the moment, so you'd better beat it and use it for the time being." Since Xiao Zhige read him a military book, an Changqing has occasionally gone to Xiao Zhige's study to look for some military books. now he also knows the truth of being aggressive: "hang him first. The more guilty and afraid he is, the more conscientious he will be."
Although Wang Fugui is a little cautious, he is not timid. According to an Changqing's observation these days, he will gain some benefits at an appropriate time, but he may not have the courage to deceive Xiao Zhige.
Xiao Zhige looked at him in surprise. He thought an Changqing would take this opportunity to remove Wang Fugui. After all, from the beginning of his marriage into the palace, he could not get along well with Wang Fugui. But I never thought he would say such a thing.
His eyes flashed slightly, and Xiao Zhige agreed, "you have a point."
An Changqing: "…"
……
When the carriage arrived at the palace, Wang Fugui led the people to greet him. Sure enough, he looked quite trembling-before an Changqing returned home, Anfu had already taken the steward of Tianyi Square back to his house and asked Zhao Shi to escort him to the torture room on the spot.
Although when an Changqing asked for a housekeeper, he knew that something would go wrong in those shops sooner or later, and specially reminded those who were in charge to rein in. However, did not expect that before the end of the year, the man was taken to the house to be taken into custody.
He secretly pinched a cold sweat and bent even lower: "will your Majesty and Princess have dinner?"
An Changqing shook the oil paper bag and said, "prepare some greasy side dishes and eat roast duck today."
……
After dinner, an Changqing called Wang Fugui and told him to summon Zhuangzi and the stewards in the shop. During this period of time, he and Xiao Zhige face each other day and night, osmosis also learned not to be angry. An exquisite excessive face stiffens up, vaguely with a bit of Xiao Zhige's momentum.
"Tianyi Square happened to be bumped into by me. Other shops may not be without problems. " He tapped on the table leisurely: "since Prince has handed over all his estate to me to take care of, I have to take care of it so that I can live up to his entrustment." Housekeeper Wang, you said. Is that the truth? "
The butler Wang was bent and his face was vaguely bitter. It was clear that the princess was talking about herself, but she was not stupid enough to know that she was taking the opportunity to beat herself. The steward and clerk of Tianyi Square were detained and asked what he didn't know. But he knew that the princess would never easily uncover this article.
Sure enough, something else is going to happen now, and this time, I'm afraid it's going to be a thorough investigation.
Although he did not directly participate in it, but turning a blind eye did not undercut the benefits. Although the princess has not been upset for the time being, she is even more frightening and suffering.
Wang Fugui said in an astringent voice, "what the princess said is very true."
An Changqing reached the point and waved her hand and said, "you go and arrange it."
In the twinkling of an eye, two days passed, and Wang Fugui set the date for summoning the steward on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. In the middle of this, the iron tiger replied again, saying that he had found out the news of the nunnery.
The nunnery outside the city is not famous, and few people even know if it does not leave the city.
Tiehu made this inquiry, but found that there were a lot of Taoism in this little nunnery. Dazhou, from dignitaries to ordinary people, all believe in Taoism. This Buddhism naturally has few fragrances. And the remote nunnery is unattended. Under the incense withered, don't know when the nunnery changed its flavor, and it was no longer a place of retreat, but a prostitute nunnery hidden in a remote place.
Because of the remote place and difficult conditions, most of the nunnery were women who had made mistakes and were forced to be sent to the nunnery for repair. There are also some dead men and helpless women who throw themselves into the nunnery to find a place to live.
The nunnery was miserable, and these women were not at peace, but gradually some nuns hooked up with the men outside in exchange for "incense money." And the woman the little beggar was talking about, named Jiao Ying, was the one with the most incense money in the nunner. it was said that she had been appointed by the nobility early and did not receive other "pilgrims".
Because of the lack of time, Tiehu did not come to find out who the honorable man is, but combined with the words of the little beggar, it is quite possible that this dignitary is Wu Junshu. Moreover, this inquiry also made him make two unexpected discoveries.
"the delicate warbler quietly sent the little girl around her to buy medicine for abortion. Her subordinates saw that her stomach was slightly bulging and looked as if she was pregnant. "
As soon as an Changqing raised her eyebrow, when she entered the outer room of her last life, she did not hear of any children. If the child belongs to Wu Junshu, she can rely on her son and let Wu Jun Shu accept her in the door. Even if Zhongyong Marquis Residence is concerned about the famous sound and marriage and refuses to let Mr. concubine have his eldest son and let her have an abortion, he will certainly make compensation.
Why does this outer room have to secretly ask people to buy abortion drugs?
An Changqing's intuition was different, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she could only ask, "what else did you find?"
"his subordinates also found that crazy woman."
The mad woman was accidentally found when she was stalking the nunnery. She was living in the village near the nunnery. She was crazy and crazy, and she was always talking about such crazy things as fox spirits. Tiehu also heard the villagers discuss her unexpectedly, went to inquire about it by the way, and made an unexpected discovery.
"this crazy woman was not crazy before. Her husband's surname was Qian. Her husband didn't come early, so she had an only son named Qian Yuan. This money was born short and ugly, but he was good at taking care of horses, so he became a groom in Zhongyong Hou Fu. Later, a few years later, Qian Yuan saved money to marry the girl from the village next door, that is, Jiao Ying.
In contrast to Qian, Jiao Ying is a beautiful woman. After marrying Qian Yuan, he waited on his mother-in-law at home all day. Occasionally go to Zhongyong Marquis Residence to send Qian Yuan something to eat. So lived a peaceful life, but unexpectedly Qian Yuan one day suddenly came home angrily and beat Jiao Ying. The villagers all guessed that Jiao Ying had hooked up with a man outside. But before they finished watching the hustle and bustle, Qian Yuan came home one day, so he fell into the pond by the side of the road and drowned.
After Qian Yuan died, the money mother went crazy. She beat and scolded Jiao Ying all day, saying that she was a fox and that she hooked up with a man outside and killed Qian Yuan. But Jiao Ying is not soft and temperament. the two often scold and fight with each other. After a while, heard that Jiao Ying had run away. On the other hand, Qian's mother's madness became more serious, and she was crazy all day, and she scolded Jiao Ying for being a fox and killed her son. "
"it's Zhongyong Houfu again." An Changqing mused: "so, most of this person is Wu Junshu. Is it because he wanted to kill Qian Yuan and hid Jiao Ying in the nunnery?"
Tiehu hesitated and said, "this should have been the case, but his subordinates asked several villagers. Some people said that they had seen Jiao Ying get into the carriage and hugged a man. The man was about 30 or 40 years old, and his age was somewhat out of line with Wu Junshu."
"."
The news was really astonishing. An Changqing was silent and said, "maybe this warbler is more than one 'pilgrim'?" Is it possible that her child is not Wu Junshu's? Is that why you secretly buy abortion drugs? "
Tiehu guessed in the same way, pitiful for a rough man who went to battle to kill the enemy. When he first found out about this kind of fragrant and shady privacy, the whole person was confused.
After meditating for a moment, an Changqing said, "continue to stare at the nunnery." And is there any way to get someone to change Jiao Ying's abortion medicine? "
Tiehu hesitated for a moment: "you can have a try."
"then try it." An Changqing said, "change her into a medicine for protecting the fetus." In addition. Then reveal the news to Wu Junshu. "
Tiehu looked at him in surprise and thought that ruthlessness was still ruthless by the princess. It would be a big play if the baby in the belly of Jiao Ying didn't belong to Wu Junshu.
After Tiehu was ordered to go, an Changqing called Zhou Helan again, and the two went to the torture room to interrogate the manager and the man.
After taking the man back to the palace two days ago, an Changqing did not use punishment, but locked them up separately. no matter how much the two men begged for mercy and admitted their mistakes, they did not see them. Now, it is the third day.
It's time for a trial.
Zhao Shi led them to the torture chamber. A torture chamber was built in the royal palace. Although the palace of the Northern War has been handed down like Shura hell outside, in fact, this torture chamber has been used only a few times since it was built. But there's a lot of stuff in it. There are all kinds of instruments of torture hanging on the wall, all of which are prepared in accordance with the specifications for interrogating spies in the army.
In the past few days, the steward and the man are facing the wall full of instruments of torture, frightening themselves to be yellow and skinny, and their mouth to start a prairie fire.
Zhao Shi moved the chair and asked an Changqing to sit down, so he brought the man out first.
The man was probably scared. As soon as he saw an Changqing, he knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and begged for mercy.
Zhou Helan was in charge of interrogation on one side, but with a few questions, he got a clear picture of the situation in Tianyi Square.
It turned out that the steward of Tianyi Square had already hooked up with the Zhan family clothing store. In the past, Tianyi Square had a very good reputation in Beijing and was very popular. In order to grab business, the Zhan family first poached the tailor from the shop, and then paid off the manager to inflate the price. As a result, many guests went to the cheaper Zhan shop.
The manager was timid at first, but then the Zhan family gave him more money, and he became bolder. Not only inflated the price to drive customers, but also colluded with the Zhan family to sell the cloth and ready-made clothes of Tianyi Square to the Zhan family at a price slightly higher than the cost, while the Zhan family sold them at a higher price. Earn the difference between the prices. When the housekeeper reported, he only said that the management was poor and the ready-made cloth could not be sold, so he had to reduce the price.
An Changqing almost laughed angrily, and her face froze and asked, "since when?"
Dude, it's been two or three years.
An Changqing's face changed several times and finally calmed down. After interrogating the man, Zhou Helan asked him to sign the painting. And then brought the manager up.
The manager's face changed as soon as he looked at the thin piece of paper on which he had pressed his finger print. The words had come up with before are also useless, so can only honestly confess. Including the trading accounts between him and the Zhan family, all of them were spit out.
After the trial, an Changqing asked him about other shops. The managers of these shops also have exchanges with each other, and they also communicate with each other. The manager wrote down everything he knew on the paper with a pale face.
There was sweat on his eyebrows when he put down his pen in the winter. Just about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard an Changqing say, "send it to the official after the trial."
The manager's face suddenly turned gray, knowing that he was completely finished.
……
An Changqing rummaged through the accounts of the pro-caretaker, and what was written above was all the money lost by Tianyi Fang. And all this money flowed into the pockets of the Zhan family.
He smiled coldly at the thought of the white dough that had been fired and escaped. Holding the account book and patting it on the table, he said to Zhou Helan, "take Tiehu with you. Let's go to Zhan's house to ask for silver."
You can't just give up such a large sum of money.
Zhou Helan saw his sullen face, meditated for a moment, and came up with an idea: "it would be better to let Prince go with him, which is quick and convenient, and maybe he can ask for more silver to come back, and it will be regarded as a profit."
An Changqing hit it off with him, looked at him admiringly, and immediately took the account book to look for Xiao Zhige.
The training of the big camp outside the city has stopped. Xiao Zhige doesn't have to socialize these days. He's all in the house. When he saw him coming over with a stack of paper, it was clear: "has it all come out?"
"well. The man has been sent to the government. But there's a lot of money involved, and I'm going to go to Zhan's house to get it back. " An Changqing looked at him with burning eyes: "Wang Ye, why don't you come with me?"
On his expectant eyes, Xiao Zhige hardly hesitated, then agreed to come down. An Changqing walked out happily: "I'll send someone to prepare the car."
So this afternoon, the people of Beijing saw the door of the palace of the Northern War open, and a magnificent carriage drove out slowly. The word "Xiao" is so big on the car body that it is difficult for people to ignore it.
The carriage went all the way to the Zhan clothing store before it stopped. The shopkeeper was unknown, so he came out to meet him nervously.
An Changqing and Xiao Zhige got out of the car, followed by two teams of majestic guards. He was invited in by the trembling shopkeeper.
After sitting down, an Changqing sipped her tea lightly and opened her mouth in the puzzled eyes of anecdotes: "Wang Ye and I are here to collect our previous debts."
"in arrears?" The shopkeeper was confused and carefully confirmed: "this …". I don't think the Zhan shop owes the royal family any debt, does it? "
Anfu signaled Anfu to show the confession and account books of the manager of Tianyi Square to the shopkeeper, and the old god an Changqing continued to drink tea.
In charge of the doubt, he took the confession and the account books and turned a few pages, and his face suddenly changed. Looking at the two standing Buddhas, and then looking at the things in their hands, the shopkeeper looked pale and said, "the princess will sit down for a moment, and the villain will invite the owner."
The prestige of the King of the Northern War really works. The owner of Zhan's shop not only came, but also came with several boxes of silver.
The master of the Zhan family, like a dough that had gone too far, was fatter than the young master of the Zhan family. he saluted cautiously with his stomach, accompanied with a smile and said, "here comes all the money. Please have a look at it, Princess."
The servant opened the box, and it was full of white silver. Anfu counted the points, which was more than double that on the account, with a full amount of 42000 silver.
Looking at the white silver, an Changqing was in a very comfortable mood. With a friendly smile, he said, "Yes, that's the number."
When Master Zhan saw that his face did not change his color, he accepted all the things that did not change his face, and he was so distressed that he was dripping blood. But they were wrong first, and the king of the Northern War, the god of murder, dared not even say a word. Only a few dry smiles: "that's good. That's right."
It's just a face with white flour and steamed bread that has been overdone, wrinkled more than the folds of steamed buns.
An Changqing was in a happy mood and got back double the money, but he didn't kill it all. Let the guards outside carry the silver into the carriage, come mightily, and leave mightily.
Master Zhan exhaled for the rest of his life. As a result, was just happy for a day, and then the next day heard that the princess was giving porridge in front of Tianyi Square.
The Princess of the Northern War, dressed in cotton robes sewn by Tianyi Square, stood at the door so gracefully, even though she was dressed in cotton cloth, she looked more expensive than other people's colorful brocade robes.
For the first time, the people of Beijing really saw the real appearance of the princess, and they were all very excited. Even if not for that porridge, it is worthwhile to buy a cotton robe of the same style as the princess.
People who like to watch the hustle and bustle all flock to Tianyi Square.
From a distance, looking at Master Zhan, who was full of people in Tianyi Square, he almost had a heart attack.
Some people are in a state of trepidation in the Northern War Royal Palace these days. The people tightened their skin, and no one dared to go near Wang Ye's study.
Without him, Prince has to practice his gun here for half a day every day, but in recent days, don't know what happened. Princeh's expression seemed to be really going to make a detour when he practiced his gun. It was so spooky and frightening that the people in the palace all made a detour.
An Changqing got up early that day, changed into a new dress from Tianyi Square, and was ready to go out. After getting the money back from the Zhan family, an Changqing was not satisfied with it. The silver was dead, but the shop was alive. Tian Yi Fang, a thriving business, earns more than 42000 yuan.
He consulted with Zhou Helan and came up with a way to save the decline of Tianyi Square-let an Changqing personally go to Tianyi Square to serve porridge.
Tianyi Square has a bad reputation in the past two years, and it won't happen overnight if you want to change it. But when Zhou Helan remembered the popular gossip books of Prince and Princess Prince, Zhou Helan let an Changqing put on the clothes sewn by Tianyi Square and give porridge at the door.
On the one hand, it can win a good reputation, on the other hand, it can attract people to Tianyi Square, so an Changqing naturally will not refuse the good thing of killing two birds with one stone.
On the contrary, the result of giving porridge was better than they had expected. not only the business of Tianyi Square was booming again, but also the reputation of the Northern War Imperial Palace had improved a lot.
The only bad thing is that there are more and more gossip books, and the business of Mr. storyteller is getting better and better.
As the princess becomes more and more busy, she goes out early and returns late. The face of the king of the Northern War was getting worse and worse day by day.
When Zhou Helan came to the main courtyard early this morning to look for an Changqing, she saw a black golden gun suddenly inserted in front of her. He was startled, rubbed back two steps, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly saluted: "your Majesty."
Xiao Zhige looked at him for a moment without saying a word, pulled out his gun and turned away.
Zhou Helan was so bristled by his glance that she could not understand for a moment where she had offended Wang Ye.
Why are you so fierce all of a sudden?
The author has something to say: # Why is Prince unhappy? #
Zhou Helan: have I offended Wang Ye?
There is no such thing, is it?
Countenance:. (mm-hmm.
