"Buy more!"

Mr. Liu looked at the young man like he was an idiot, "This means that if the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come in... When the new ones come in, you'll make a fortune!"

"Then..." the boy suddenly asked again, "Will the person who collected the old sacks turn around and sell the sacks to the grain depot?"

"Hey! You are finally smart for once..." Liu Ye nodded, "You are really right. He collects sacks and sells them in small quantities. He can sell them out in the Year of the Monkey...

A transaction in the grain depot is worth tens of thousands..."

The little boy thought about it, "Oh, so... the old ones are being sold as new ones? Isn't that deceiving the adults in Guancang?"

"I just told you that you are so damn smart! Just serve tea and water for the rest of your life!" Liu Ye laughed and scolded, "Do you think those people in the official warehouse don't know the tricks inside? Let me tell you, they make a fortune selling sacks.

, and then you can make another fortune by selling sacks..."

"You can get money if you sell it, but you can get money if you buy it?" The boy was really confused.

"You just said that the sack is old, can it be used as a new price?" Mr. Liu said with a smile, "But who knows whether this thing is old or new? Who cares? As long as it can hold grain, it will be fine! But when it comes to paying for the account, of course it should be

New report!"

"Oh my god, there are so many things to say..."

"The guests over there have all run out of tea, and you're not there to serve them. Do you want to do this anymore?"

Suddenly, the teahouse owner came over. He slapped the young man and then said to Mr. Liu with a smile, "Master Liu, I remember you said that you won't read the newspaper anymore?"

Mr. Liu glanced at him, "Can I just slap myself in the face?" He said, leaning back, "Now, why don't you come to talk to me about state affairs again?"

"That's not what I meant, but..."

"It's all reported in the Yingtian Times!" Before the shopkeeper could finish what he said, Liu Ye said, "That means everyone in the world can say it! Why, if you don't like hearing it, then I'll move to another place tomorrow...

..”

"No, if you leave, won't my job here be ruined?"

How could the shopkeeper be willing to leave this important customer? Not only does he drink tea here every day, but the teahouse also prepares the meals for the shop assistants for the day. That’s a lot of money in a month!

"I think you should read less of this newspaper!" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Look, without this newspaper! The world is peaceful, gentle and drizzle... With this newspaper, there will be trouble every day!

"

"Although it has nothing to do with us, I felt uncomfortable after reading it! To tell you the truth, I didn't read the newspaper today. Just listening to what you said made me feel very uncomfortable!"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper sighed, "In the early years, people would come to Beijing to escape famine every year. Just for a bite of food, then... they are no longer human beings!"

"Indeed, my heart is blocked!" Liu Ye said, "My heart is blocked like a stone and I can't breathe!"

"So, since we are worried, let's stop reading. We are just ordinary people, so what can we do if we scold them?" the shopkeeper said with a smile.

"If you don't talk or scold, then you won't be blocked all the time?"

"Then don't read it!"

“If I don’t look at it, I’ll feel even more upset!”

"Then you can choose the one that doesn't bother you and watch it!"

"What's the point of watching it without worrying?"

"Hiss..." The shopkeeper thought with luck in his heart, "Damn it...he is really the Queen Mother's menstruation, he is crazy!"

At this moment, the bustling street suddenly became noisy.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a group of police officers rushed over on their backs, holding shackles in their hands, and headed straight for the teahouse.

"Officers arrest people, but idlers get out of the way!"

"I...are here to catch me?" Mr. Liu jumped up and hid behind the door, "Didn't I say anything the hell?"

The shopkeeper was also so frightened that his legs were trembling.

Seeing that those wolf-like officials were about to rush over, they didn't want to walk directly in front of the teahouse and rushed into the restaurant diagonally opposite.

In an instant, the restaurant was in a state of uproar.

Mr. Liu came out of the door, stretched his neck and looked over there, and saw several men jumping down from the windows on the second floor of the restaurant.

As soon as I landed, before I even got up, I was tied up by the officer downstairs.

"This scene?" Mr. Liu exclaimed, "Catch the Jiangyang thief?" He said, his eyes bright, "Don't tell me there is another assassin, right?"

"Master Liu, you are my biological father, okay? Stop talking nonsense!" The shopkeeper, Choijiao, suddenly turned around in the next second, "Close the door quickly, close the door!"

The boy was still stunned when he saw a figure rushing in and hiding behind a pillar.

Taking a closer look, he saw that it was the shopkeeper of the restaurant where the official officer rushed in.

Normally, the shopkeeper of the restaurant looks down on the people in the teahouse. But now he holds up his hands and pleads, "Shopkeeper, I'll hide for a while, hide for a while!"

"No......"

"What's going on?" Mr. Liu was also an acquaintance with the restaurant owner, so he directly pulled the other person to sit down, "Who are you arresting? Isn't your brother-in-law the foreman at Yingtianfu Yamen? What are you afraid of?"

"They are not official officials from Yingtian Mansion, they are official officials from the Institute of Integrity!" The restaurant owner sweated on his forehead. "They say they are official officials, but many of them are guards! They didn't even say a word when they entered my restaurant. They rushed up and arrested people.

"You haven't seen Mr. Liu, he is carrying a knife..." He said, comparing his hands, "You are so old!"

"Who did you catch?" Master Liu asked, "Do you know him?"

"Second Master Liu and Third Master Xu over at Guancang..." the restaurant owner said in a low voice, "Second Master Liu is having a treat at noon today. Not long ago, he gave birth to a son outside his house.

?"

"Oh, the customers who come here are usually respectable people, but now they are just like catching pigs." The restaurant owner was still frightened, "There is a boss who is also the commander of the Military and Horse Department, and he was just about to declare his family status, and he was stabbed...

..”

"Hiss..." Mr. Liu exclaimed, "Did anyone die?"

"That's not the case. That knife is always walking sideways on the street. If you hit it with a scabbard, it will hit your head directly and you will faint on the spot!" The restaurant owner looked at the mess in his house.

Business, said sadly, "My business has greatly damaged my vitality this time!"

"Oh!" Liu Ye's eyes rolled around and he pondered, "The Yingtian Times has just reported the Yangzhou Guancang case, and we in the capital have started to arrest the people in the Guancang... They are still honest and tyrannical.

People......I think they can't stop lately!"

As he spoke, he gloated and smiled, "Looks like someone is about to lose their head again, haha!"

Randomly, he yanked the restaurant manager's sleeve and whispered, "By the way, I have something to ask you!"

"Say what you said!" The arrest over there was coming to an end, and the officers dragged people out one by one and put them into prison cars.

"I'm going on a red mission soon. On the day of Ling Chi, ask your brother-in-law to reserve a good seat for me in front of the execution ground!" Master Liu said.

"You want to go and see him? You are really leisurely!" The restaurant manager's official purpose was to arrest the guest instead of shouting to arrest him, which made him feel much more at ease.

"What does Xianxin mean?" Mr. Liu said unhappily, "Just tell me whether you want to help or not?"

"This is a difficult matter, there are people complaining about it every day at Yingtian Mansion!" the restaurant owner said in a low voice, "Now the place closest to the execution ground has a price clearly marked in secret!" He said, and said, "The government officials are pointing to this.

...You know!"

"Isn't it just money? How much?" Mr. Liu didn't care.

"Well... on the second floor of the warehouse on the right side of the execution ground, where you can see the panoramic view of the execution ground, there seems to be a place worth thirty silver dollars..."

"Okay, it's settled... I'll have someone send you money later!"

"It's easy to talk!" The restaurant owner's officials left and stood up and said, "I'll go back and take a look first, and I'll send someone to my brother-in-law in a while and ask him to reserve a seat for you!"

"Okay!"

~~

The restaurant owner left, and the teahouse boy came closer to Mr. Liu.

"Sixth Master, don't you hate corrupt officials the most? Then why did you spend money just now to use connections to do things?" Others didn't hear it, but the little guy just listened.

Mr. Liu sighed, "That's how the world is! I hate corrupt officials, but I can't get things done without spending money!"

"Everything is about connections, relationships, and favors...Actually, it's all about money!"

"Then..." the young man thought thoughtfully, "The more this happens, the harder it will be for those who don't have money to do anything?"

Hearing this, Mr. Liu was silent.
