Chapter 131: Covering Your Ears and Stealing the Bell

Cuixiang Building is the shop of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, just on the edge of the West Market, facing the main street, and the merchants who come and go like to have a drink here. The signboard of Cuixiang House is not wine, nor meat, but tea. It's the kind of grass soup that Su Ren made that makes people feel refreshed.

The shopkeeper of Cuixiang House is an old man, who is said to have moved from warm water. With a pair of children, the original restaurant was rented and changed to the current teahouse. No one knows what the old man relied on to make his fortune, anyway, it must cost a lot of money to rent such a place in a place like Xishi. is such a rich person, and his usual clothes are quite rustic. If you don't know him, you will definitely think that he is a farmer or the kind of tenant who rents other people's land.

The business of Cuixiang Building is very good, people come and go all day long, and basically the businessmen of the West Market talk about business. Drinking tea has become a fashion for the Shu people, and talking about business while drinking tea is as if it can remove the copper smell on their bodies, and the businessmen like it very much.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, has business been good lately?" As soon as the money shopkeeper of Yongxing Silk Shop entered the door, he saw the silk merchant Zhao shopkeeper sitting in the main hall.

"TOEFL, TOEFL! With the help of your money shopkeeper, the silk has been bought well recently, I am planning to go to Sangyuan Town again to buy some goods, if Zhao shopkeeper needs, I can buy it cheaper for you! ”

As they spoke, they sat down in their seats. The runner hurriedly held two large porcelain bowls, put them in front of the two, raised the big copper kettle in his hand, and poured out the hot water from Huang Bulaji. The faint fragrance of tea spread in front of the two.

Tea is not good tea, the key is the process of drinking tea. The money shopkeeper took a look: "This tea is a good thing, quench thirst and dispel heat, produce jin and dissolve phlegm, since drinking tea, I feel that my body is comfortable, if I don't drink it for a few days, I feel that something is wrong!" ”

"Hahaha!" Shopkeeper Zhao laughed a few times: "If the shopkeeper likes it so much, why don't you buy some and taste it slowly." ”

"Huh! How can you drink it at home? You still have to be with the shopkeeper Zhao to drink the aroma of tea! ”

The shopkeeper picked up the tea bowl, poured half a bowl into a big mouthful, and said comfortably: "Good tea, really good tea, I don't know how Su Shipeng came up with it, the grass that no one cared about before can become a treasure in his hands, it seems that this Su Shipeng is indeed a god!" ”

"Huh!" Shopkeeper Zhao also put down the bowl: "Isn't it, cloth bag salt, Hu bed, and this grass, we have seen it there before, if it weren't for the immortal disciples, how could we make this, but we don't have such good luck, we haven't met the immortal as a master." ”

A joke that made the two laugh out loud. After a few more sips, the shopkeeper moved his bench to the side of the shopkeeper Zhao: "Old Zhao, what do you think of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce?" Give your brother a clue, you are very accurate, if you think it's okay, let's go in as soon as we get in, I heard that those guys who followed Su Shipeng have already bought the goods to Yelang, and they have made a lot of money. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "I've also heard about this, but it's really hard to say now." ”

"Why? Could it be that what do you think has changed? ”

"It's a big change!" Shopkeeper Zhao looked around, everyone else was drinking tea and chatting, and no one paid attention to them, so he continued: "Have you heard about Su Shipeng and the Meng family?" ”

The money shopkeeper looked surprised: "Won't it?" The Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce actually wants to call the Banmeng family? ”

"It's not just a shout, it's already a mortal enemy!"

"So serious? The Meng family is a big family in Shuzhong, and the shops in the industry occupy three percent of Shuzhong, and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce has just been established, how dare they provoke the Meng family? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao took a deep breath: "This is Su Shipeng's courage, do you know where Su Shipeng went some time ago?" It is said that he went to the land and brought back 5,000 servants. ”

"I know this, it's not that the servants have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and they are familiar with the mountains and forests, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is preparing to open up the Qiangdi trade route, and it needs the servants to be guides, is it possible that there is any doorway in it?"

"There are so many doorways!" Shopkeeper Zhao beckoned, and Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly stretched out his ears: "Before Su Shipeng went to the land, he made a bet with Meng Changshi, if he can bring back the servants, Meng Changshi will hand over all the shops of the Meng family!" ”

"Ahh This time, the money shopkeeper was not surprised, but shocked, and the whole person became nervous: "Look at the Meng family this way, but you have lost!" Su Shipeng has obviously brought the servants back. ”

"It's not that simple!" Shopkeeper Zhao continued: "The servants were brought back, how could the Meng family hand over their family property?" Yesterday, Taishou called Meng Changshi and Su Shipeng, and several people quarreled for a long time, and Meng Changshi was almost angry to death. ”

The money shopkeeper thought for a while: "This is the history of Meng Chang is not authentic, since he made a bet with others, even if he didn't pay it all, at least he had to make an appearance, and he couldn't talk about it!" ”

The two of them said rightly, and suddenly felt that the back collar was being pulled. Dragged to the ground and slid backwards. The people of Cuixianglou didn't know what was going on, and they watched with big eyes as the two of them were pulled out of the gate of Cuixianglou, stuffed into a carriage and drove away.

In the corner, Meng Bi grimaced, threw a few copper coins on the table, got up and went out. He walked through the side door, without attracting anyone's attention, and glanced back at the three big characters of Cuixianglou, and felt helpless in his heart.

This is the fifth pair of people today, although the number is small, there are always there, if it is a long time, it will definitely arouse the reverie of others. When he arranged this last night, he thought it was strange. When his father explained the reason to him, he was stupid. He knows that the mouth of the people is better than the word of Sichuan, but to solve the problem, there is really no other way to solve the problem.

On the way back, Meng Bi saw that no one felt that something was right. As long as the two of them exchanged ears, he always felt that they were talking about their Meng family. Su Ren was too ruthless, and one move of rumors made the Meng family tired, and he might not be able to suppress it in the end.

Meng Ji fell ill last night, and he was not lightly ill. According to the medical officer, he was in a hurry and needed to recuperate, but how could he calm down at this time.

Seeing that Meng Bi was back, Meng Ji hurriedly beckoned him to come over. It's only been one night, and Meng Ji seems to be ten years old, not only is his hair gray, but his face is not even bloody.

"How? Does Su Ren want to kill them all? ”

Meng Bi hurriedly smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, I was outside all morning, and I didn't hear anything unfavorable to us, Su Ren didn't dare to tear his face with us, but he didn't pass on those words." ”

Monji closed his eyes again: "That's good! It's too careless, it's really careless, if it was too careless at that time, it wouldn't be like this, you have worked hard these days, don't worry about the business of the shop first, and we must not let the reputation of our Meng family be damaged, if that's the case, even if you die, you won't have the face to see your ancestors. ”

"Father, don't worry, the child knows!" Meng Bi said a few more words of comfort, and then left Meng Ji's room.

Walk to the backyard, which is a segregated courtyard with two guards at the door. When he saw that Meng would come, he hurriedly saluted. Meng Bi looked left and right: "Has there been anything recently?" ”

"It's fine, everything is fine."

"Alright, open the door! I want to meet them. ”

Su Ren lay on his back under the mulberry tree, the weather was very good, very suitable for basking in the sun. This year is a dry winter, it has not snowed as it approaches, and the wind blowing down from the plateau is not as cold as before.

Liu Gao stood respectfully in front of Su Ren, and Su Ren shook his head: "Sit down!" You always stand like this, I have to raise my head to talk to you, it's not good for the cervical spine! ”

Liu Gao sat down slowly, and when he saw that Su Ren was about to drink tea, he hurriedly picked up the teacup and handed it to Su Ren with both hands.

Su Ren was a little helpless: "Lao Liu, do you say that you and I are our own people?" ”

Liu Gao nodded hurriedly.

"Isn't this over, since it's your own person, can you use it like this? Look at them, how good it is to be in front of me, then I will be at ease and you will be at ease! I'll say it one last time, if it's like this next time, I'll really treat you like an outsider! ”

Liu Gao hurriedly smiled: "The villain knows, and he won't be in the future!" ”

Su Ren announced that he would give up the transformation of Liu Gao, and it is not easy for the natural slave to change it, so let him go.

Su Ren shook his head: "Okay, how about it?" What's going on in the city? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that those people who are talking about Mr. and Meng Ji today have been arrested by the Meng family, and they are Meng Bi's hands!"

"Oh? This Meng family is considered to have no tricks, can this method work? ”

Liu Gao hurriedly put on a smiling face: "Someone saw the medical officer go to Meng's house last night, presumably Meng Ji was sick, these things should be that Meng Bihu." ”

Su Ren smiled: "Very good, let them come and go, keep an eye on the Meng family, and at the same time I will ask Lao Gou to send a few people to you, you must find those who are arrested, and you can't let them have problems." ”

Liu Gao nodded and got up to say goodbye.

Cui Jiuming came in in a hurry, picked up Su Ren's tea bowl, poured it beautifully, and then sat down: "Oh, I'm busy!" I heard that the Meng family is arresting people? Those who talk about you and the Meng family have been arrested by the Meng family, and the Meng family is going to dig their own grave! We didn't plan to spread this thing, they became frightened birds, if we really want to spread it in Chengdu, will it be difficult to catch all the people in Chengdu? ”

"Wow! You know all about this, it seems that Meng Bi is really not careful! ”

"It's also thorough, the carriage that arrested people didn't even take the badge of the Meng family, and there are only a few families that can use the carriage in Chengdu. You can think of it with your toes! ”

"Huh!" Su Ren laughed twice: "How do you think we should deal with this matter?" ”

"Do you still need to think about it? The more people they offend, the better, and it is most beneficial for us to offend the entire Chengdu people. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Su Ren poured Cui Jiuming a cup of tea: "How is it about explaining your affairs?" ”

Cui Jiuming patted his chest: "Don't worry, everything is in order, this move will be called to attack the west, right?" Hahaha......"
