When Su Jin first arrived in Luzhou yesterday, Zhu Shiyong knew about it; Originally, he wanted to go to the city gate to greet Su Jin and his party, but after thinking about it again, he was a dignified prefect, although Su Jin was named Emperor Qinming, but he was just a classless and unranked official in charge of food affairs, so he should come to meet him, so why bother to condescend to meet this kid.

He thought that Su Jin would come to see him as soon as he arrived in Luzhou, but after waiting for a morning and an afternoon, Su Jin didn't even have a figure, so he couldn't hold his breath.

Although the official replied that Su Jin was just reuniting with his relatives at home, he called Su Ji's shopkeepers to discuss business matters at home; But Zhu Shiyong understands that Su Jin's trip back to Luzhou is not just as simple as a provincial New Year; The more Su Jin didn't show up, the more empty and overwhelmed his heart became.

In the evening, the three giants of the Chamber of Commerce, who were also worried, couldn't sit still, and under the cover of the low night, the three of them came to Zhu Shiyong's mansion on the Yuema Bridge to ask for a meeting.

Zhu Shiyong was pacing back and forth in the study uneasily, hearing that President Tang of the Chamber of Commerce and others asked to see him, he was busy under the lamp, holding the Spring and Autumn Period in his hand, and he looked calm and relaxed.

Tang Jiyuan and the others were much more panicked than Zhu Shiyong, the original opponent has now become a special envoy for food affairs, and he tried tricks to kill Su Jinkeng in Yangzhou but did not succeed. No matter how you look at it, Su Jin doesn't look like a master who can't remember the old hatred, but like a mad dog that bites and doesn't let go, so the more the three giants think about it, the more afraid they become, so they simply visit Zhu Shiyong collectively to seek comfort.

When the three of them entered the door and knocked, Zhu Shiyong snorted without raising his eyelids, pointed to the chair in front of the bookcase and said, "Please sit down." ”

The three of them looked at each other, this old thing was pretending again, and the scrolls in their hands were all taken down, but they still forced themselves to put on a majestic look, which was really ridiculous.

But this is not the time to be sarcastic, and at the critical time, you still have to hug Zhu Shiyong's thigh.

Zhu Shiyong put down the scroll, picked up a sandalwood bookmark, and sandwiched it in the pages of the book with a little concern, and then looked up and asked, "You are waiting for a late night visit, but what is the urgency?" ”

Tang Jiyuan scolded secretly and arched his hand: "Lord Fuzun, Su Jin has returned to Luzhou, do you know?" ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "So what? Is it worth the fuss? ”

Tang Jiyuan said: "Lord Fuzun, I'm afraid it's not that simple, I'm afraid he came back this time because the person who came back was not good, we had a holiday with him before, and we will not give up this time." ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "It's unreasonable, we don't have a handle in his hands, since the bandits in Bagong Mountain were exterminated, the grain of each of your families has been put on the official warehouse, his authority is only limited to grain affairs, as long as he can't catch the handle, what can he do?" ”

Tang Jiyuan shook his head and said: "Lord Fuzun, the three of us all feel that things will not be so easy to settle down, we waited for the grain after the imperial court deadline, although the lord gave us the price before the deadline, reducing our losses, but if this matter is found out by Su Jin, he will definitely refuse to take a break." ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "How can he find out?" The date recorded by the official warehouse is before the deadline of the imperial court, and the upper and lower mansions have been ordered, and I hope he will come to check it, so that it just shows that my Luzhou grain affairs are clear, and you and other merchants are well aware of the righteousness; Not only am I not afraid, but I will also ask him for the emperor's reward. ”

Vice President Huang shook the fat on his cheeks and interjected: "Yes, yes, Lord Fuzun will definitely help me and ask for some rewards, this time according to your orders, we will lose all the food in the official family, we will lose a lot, it is all this kid's harm." ”

Zhu Shiyong glanced at Vice President Huang and sneered: "This is a precautionary measure, what do you know?" Breaking wealth and avoiding disasters makes this kid unable to catch you at all in order to protect yourself, but you come to make noise; If you feel sorry for that bit of food, Ming'er's Mansion allows you to bring the food back, if Su Jin finds out and does it for you, don't come to me. ”

President Tang hurriedly glared at Vice President Huang, turned his head and said with a smile: "Lord Fuzun, don't worry about him, Huang Dongjia is what he said, in private, we all admire Lord Fuzun's foresight, if it weren't for Lord Fuzun to let me wait for the pain to give up, this time Su Jin came to Luzhou, it would be a big trouble." ”

Zhu Shiyong snorted and said: "Even if you still have a little vision, when life and death are at stake, a strong man can break his wrist, not to mention the loss of more than 100,000 yuan of money; Isn't it easy to earn back these 100,000 yuan? ”

Vice President Huang muttered, "Is it that serious? How can it be a matter of life and death, and stockpiling food is not a capital crime......"

Zhu Shiyong's face changed, and he reprimanded: "Do you think this mansion is alarmist? No, take it and see it. ”

Zhu Shiyong stretched out his hand and pulled out an official document from the desk, smashed it on Vice President Huang's head, and said angrily: "This is the official document that just arrived this afternoon, you can see if it is a matter of life and death." ”

Vice President Huang hurriedly grabbed the brown paper envelope and took out an official document stamped with the seal of the Lufu from inside, and President Tang and President Liu also leaned over to take a closer look.

"Mansion ...... My lord, this guy is serious...... Did you really go on a killing spree in Yangzhou? Cold sweat oozed from Chairman Tang's forehead, and he asked in a trembling voice.

"How can this be fake?" Zhu Shiyong shouted: "This is the big seal of Shouzhou Road Mansion, this article is issued by the imperial court to all roads, and the road government forwards it to all states and counties, the purpose is to show the state capitals, the court is to kill chickens and monkeys to remind the merchants of the world to store grain, in disobeying the order of grain affairs, I am afraid that this year will not pass." ”

The three giants of the Chamber of Commerce were too frightened to speak, and Vice President Liu muttered: "Su Jin's methods are really vicious, and he actually killed so many people in Yangzhou like this, in addition to the people who stored grain, there are so many officials involved; Although the official document does not say that it has nothing to do with food affairs, it is enough to show that this person's methods are vicious; Fortunately, the adults are like gods, otherwise when we come back to Luzhou, we wouldn't have run away. ”

President Tang and Vice President Huang came back to their senses and hurriedly echoed a few sycophants, praising Zhu Shiyong for being the first to anticipate the enemy.

Zhu Shiyong said: "This matter is very strange, they executed the prisoners in Yangzhou, they must have been allowed by the imperial court, it is reported that in the imperial history, Ouyang Xiu corrected the aftermath in Yangzhou, this matter is obviously Ouyang Xiu and Su Jin wore a pair of pants, Ouyang Xiu, the villain, wants to take advantage of this to get a credit for himself; But Su Jin actually let this person take credit, which is very strange. ”

Vice President Huang said: "Please also ask the adults to say what they want." ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "It's a fart, how can this mansion know about the collusion between them, is this mansion a god?" This time, fortunately, he had made preparations early, even if Su Jin intended to find fault, there was no place to speak; You don't have food on hand, so don't panic; As for those losses, it is easy to do, and after the year, the government will ask the imperial court to dig ditches to prevent drought and flooding, and the tools used and all kinds of labor expenses will be purchased from you and other chambers of commerce, and tens of thousands of yuan can be earned, not to mention; The loss outside the embankment can always be made up for inside the embankment. ”

The three of them looked happy and hurriedly thanked each other.

Tang Jiyuan said: "So since Su Jin is here, what do we need to pay attention to?" ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "Don't do anything, don't look for trouble; Nest at home for your New Year, the rest of the things to deal with in the house, after the New Year, he can't find out the grain, and there is no famine in my Luzhou, don't you want to get out of the house immediately? ”

Tang Jiyuan said: "Okay, good, obey the orders of Lord Fuzun; I take the liberty to ask my lord, has Su Jin ever come to see Lord Fuzun today? ”

Zhu Shiyong frowned and said: "This person has no one in his eyes, and he actually didn't come to visit the mansion for a day when he came back, but this is not the time to be angry with him; He's hot now, and I'll visit him myself tomorrow to paraphrase him. ”

Vice President Huang scolded: "This guy has his tail up to the sky now." ”

Zhu Shiyong smiled and said: "The villain's ambition is this virtue, but his life is not easy, then Ouyang Xiu, as the middle of the imperial history, but he sent the minister to Yangzhou, obviously has another mission; Commander Lu sent Lord Wang a letter to Lu Xiang half a month ago and ruthlessly counted all the things that this kid was not doing, and Ouyang Xiu was afraid that he came for this matter; He falsely preached the holy decree to the bandits on Bagong Mountain, saying that the emperor sent him to Zhao'an, this is a crime of exaggeration, even if he has merit, what can he do? Hehe, let's spend it with him first and wait and see what happens. ”

It was the first time for the three members of the Chamber of Commerce to hear about this, and they immediately smiled, but they didn't expect that Su Jin had a lot of shit on his buttocks that had not been wiped clean, looking at the infinite scenery, maybe he would be dismissed and demoted soon after the verification, and he would return to the point of panicking like a lost dog.

This trip was not in vain, although Lord Fuzun could not fully believe what he said, but as long as his words had eight points of credibility, then it was enough to rest assured.

Everyone didn't say much, Zhu Shiyong also served tea to send guests, before leaving, Tang Jiyuan fell alone at the end, and secretly approached Zhu Shiyong's ear and said: "Lord Fuzun, are you still satisfied with the little lady who sent you last time?" ”

Zhu Shiyong smiled and said, "Thank you Tang Weng for bothering, but he is still well-behaved; You just have to make a fortune in a muffled voice, don't conflict with him this time, you need to be polite when you meet, there is this mansion, this little rabbit cub can't make big waves. ”

Tang Jiyuan bowed to the ground and said goodbye and returned.
