Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention that this "person" is still a Lijingmen who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!

Therefore, whether it is Cui Geng or Li Shan, they dare not take it lightly, and even prepare all kinds of back-ups.

But in the blink of an eye, Lee's frosting has been available for more than a month. The expected counterattack has not arrived, and the two of them can't help but feel a little like pins and needles, and their hearts are restless.

In addition, there is another thing that makes Cui Geng feel unsure, that is, Shangguan Wan'er has not replied.

It turned out that he and Li Shan thought very well, three percent, thirty thousand yuan per Chinese New Year's Eve, even if it was a direct gift to the emperor, it was very good.

You must know that the total income of the Great Zhou Dynasty this year is only about 50 million yuan, and more than ninety percent of them have a fixed place here. What can really make Wu Zetian use it as he pleases is never more than five million.

Her Majesty the Empress is still like this, let alone her personal little secretary?

However, things are so weird, Shangguan Wan'er neither agreed nor refused, but remained silent and never responded.

Lu Xiong even wrote a letter in person to ask, did Cui Geng really get the secret recipe for frosting? There is not much joy in the letter, but a lot of exhortation - this matter is very important, be careful to take too big a step and pull the egg!

To this day, Cui Geng still found his biggest shortcoming - no one in the court.

Don't look at the fact that you have a lot of allies on the surface, what is the Chang'an Guo family, the Weizhou Zhang family, and even the inner Sheren Shangguan Wan'er.

Guo Keyuan is in Lingnan Road, he doesn't speak, how can the rest of the Guo family care about their own life or death?

The Zhang family made it clear that they could help each other by returning the beautiful jade. What about not returning Meiyu? I'm afraid it depends on people's moods.

In the end, it was Shangguan Wan'er, after thinking about it carefully, the two sides had nothing to do with each other at all, it was just using each other, and the other party had no reason to protect themselves.

Only Lu Xiong, who almost became an old man, can be regarded as really good to himself, but it is useless. Without Shangguan Wan'er's support, he, Lu Xiong, a five-grade official, was far away from the core decision-making circle of the imperial court. I'm afraid that this letter is a warning to Lu Xiong when he heard some bad news, right?

On this day, Li Shan brought Cui Xiufang to see Cui Geng, and brought even more wrong news: "Cui County Order, the situation is not right, now the price of frosting in the world has risen by 30%. ”

Cui Geng's train of thought didn't keep up for a while, and he subconsciously said: "The price has risen?" Isn't that a good thing? ”

"What's good?" Li Shan said with a bitter face, "Although our frosting is half lower than that of Lijingmen, in fact, it can only be bought for two taels with money." This is eating sugar, it's just eating money. Even if I am reluctant to eat every day, let alone ordinary people? ”

Of course, Cui Geng also understands this truth, the reason why they earn 100,000 yuan a month is because the price has dropped suddenly, and customers are crazy to buy and buy, but there is no such high income in the second month.

The reason is very simple, people who can't afford to eat the usual money for one or two frostings can also not afford to eat the usual money for two taels of frosting. The customers are still those people, and they just take advantage of the cheap and extravagant, and no one will do that for many years.

He mused: "So, the frosting in the world is excessive now, as long as we don't increase the price, the price should remain the same." ”

Li Shan sighed and said, "That's right. This price increase is because there are big merchants sweeping goods at high prices, and now there is no more frosting on the market. In addition, our ten sugar workshops are running at full capacity, and the inventory is all emptied, and we have made a net profit of 200,000 yuan in the past few days. ”

The tools of the sugar workshop are nothing more than wooden reels and cauldrons, which are very easy to raise, and Li Shan is ready for a price war, and has hoarded a lot of goods for more than a month.

Unexpectedly, this time it was all covered by the original price of large merchants.

Hearing this, Cui Geng's heart suddenly chuckled, who has been doing big business in recent years, who has no backer in the officialdom? Basically, the bigger the deal, the harder the backer will be.

Why did those people sweep the goods? Needless to say, they must have heard something about it, and knew that their frosting wouldn't be sold for a few days.

Changing hands is fifty to double the profit, and a fool won't buy it!

Alas, when he cooperated with Li Shan to open a sugar workshop, he made a lot of calculations, so why didn't Shangguan Wan'er support it?

It seems that Shangguan Wan'er has not responded for a long time, which in itself is a signal!

Thinking of this, Cui Gengqiang smiled and said, "According to this posture, the upper echelons of the court have already reached a consensus and want to clean up the two of us?" ”

Li Shan nodded and said, "Although I don't know what the specific crime is, it must be the means of Li Jingmen." For today's plan, there is only ......"

"Only what?"

Li Shandao: "Why don't you go overseas with the old man?" The old man has a foundation in Fusang, and there is no problem in ensuring that we are rich and prosperous for a lifetime. ”

Without waiting for Cui Geng to answer, Li Shan deliberately accentuated his tone and added: "This is also what Xiufang meant." ”

Walk?

Leave the second mother and sister-in-law at home and leave?

Cui Geng can't do this yet!

But don't go?

This time, even Shangguan Wan'er shrunk, can she really survive safely?

Damn, you can't risk your own head and your family's lives, Cui Geng decided to go!

Immediately, he said: "Since Mr. Li has a foundation in Fusang, he must have a fleet, right?" Can you send a fleet to pick up the officer's family? ”

"It's not that the old man doesn't help, I'm afraid it's too late now!" Li Shan shook his head and said, "How can Li Jingmen get along well?" The old man estimated that within three or five days, the official document of the imperial court would arrive. If we want to go, we will leave quickly, and if we are late, things will change! ”

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside, Yongguang and Feng Changqing walked in together, and said urgently: "The big thing is not good, the officers and soldiers who came from nowhere have surrounded our Jiangdu County Ya!" ”

It's coming so fast~~

Cui Geng's heart was shocked!

Li Shan is worthy of being a person who has experienced the changes in the world, and when he heard the news, his face changed slightly, and then he immediately calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "The time has finally come, and the old man is a chess mistake." Cui County reassures you that the old man also has some small means, and when he arrives in the yamen, he will never confess you. ”

Cui Genggan laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Li doesn't need a hard top, people really have the heart to cure my crimes, and they still need you to make a confession?" So far, I can only resign myself to fate. ”

Then he instructed Feng Changqing: "The official himself is difficult to protect, you go and inform Song Genhai and the others, go your own way." Be vigilant and don't be targeted by the people of Lijingmen. ”

Although Feng Changqing and Yongguang didn't understand the details of the matter, they both realized the seriousness of the matter when they saw Cui Geng's expression and the battle outside.

However, Feng Changqing shook his head without hesitation, and said, "What are you talking about, my lord?" The lowly position has long said that I want to live and die with you! ”

"The point is that this sacrifice is meaningless."

Cui Geng said: "It's not for you to run for your life, the official's family is still Quanzhou Mansion, and I don't know anything." Let someone else send a letter, this official is really not at ease, Chang Qing, this errand belongs to you! ”

Feng Changqing smiled and said, "Okay, you don't need a heavy hammer to ring the drum, I understand that the adults still want to drive me away." Let's put it this way, I took the errand you gave me. But afterwards, Chang Qing will definitely follow the adults underground. ”

Yongguang is not as loyal as Feng Changqing, he and Cui Geng have not yet reached the friendship of life and death, and this matter is not for him. But there is also an advantage to this, not necessarily caring about it.

He rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "What can be more serious than violating the slaughter ban?" As long as His Majesty does not personally order the beheading, according to the lower officials, there may not be a turnaround, Cui Xianling still has to think of a way. ”

Cui Gengdao: "Now that no one in the DPRK and China speaks for the official, the official can't use all kinds of means, so what kind of turnaround is there to talk about?" ”

Yongguang said anxiously: "There is no one in the court, but there is one in Huainan Province!" Last time, didn't King Anping invite adults to his mansion for a banquet? That's a person who can reach the sky. ”

Anping Wang Wu Youxu?

Yongguang said this, Cui Geng realized that he really missed him. It's really a bystander and a fan of the authorities!

But......

Immediately, his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, Wu Youxu was awesome, but to be honest, this time even Shangguan Wan'er shrank aside and ignored him. At this juncture, can Wu Youxu have this friendship with himself?
