"Mr. Cheng Guo...how have you considered this matter?"

With a smile on his face, Tang Guozuo sat on the official hat chair, holding a tea cup, looking at Zhu Chunchen, who had a solemn expression, and said: "Recently, in the government and the public, due to the influence of His Majesty's arbitrary actions, he insists on resettling the untouchables who have fled from Shanxi and Shaanxi. , it can be said that the response was huge.

Cheng Guogong, you don’t know.

These days, the price of food in Gyeonggi Province has skyrocketed by 50%. If it weren't for the convenience store, the price of food and cloth would have doubled.

This is huge profit, Linhuai Marquis and others..."

"That's enough, don't mention these words again!"

Zhu Chunchen raised his sword eyebrows and waved his hands and said: "I am the Duke of the country and will never participate in this matter. If you want to participate in private, I will pretend that I don't know about it.

But Lingbihou, don’t blame me for not reminding you.

Your Majesty attaches great importance to the resettlement of people fleeing the disaster in Shanxi and Shaanxi. You can also feel it when you were on duty at the Jingwei Governor's Mansion.

If you call..."

"Haha~"

Tang Guozuo laughed out loud, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said to Zhu Chunchen: "Since Duke Cheng has said this, then I will not participate.

How could I not know that your Majesty attaches great importance to the resettlement of the people fleeing the disasters in Shanxi and Shaanxi?

Duke Cheng, I still have some things to do, so I will retire first."

After saying that, Tang Guozuo stood up, cupped his fists and saluted Zhu Chunchen, then turned around and walked out of the main hall. However, at the moment he turned around, Tang Guozuo's face showed a disdainful chuckle.

'Li Hongji and the others are involved in such a hugely profitable business. I am thinking of you and feel that all the benefits cannot fall into the hands of others. Zhu Chunchen, you are really shameless.'

Tang Guozuo narrowed his eyes slightly and cursed in his heart: "You don't earn this money, but I do. My Lingbi Marquis Mansion is not as big as yours, Duke Chengguo's Mansion."

If the damn thing is done, I can earn at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and then I will be popular and drink spicy food, so don’t be jealous of me.’

Looking at Tang Guozuo's leaving figure, Zhu Chunchen, who was sitting firmly on the official hat chair, had a bright light in his eyes and a look of contempt on his face.

At that time, behind the screen in the main hall, the steward Zhu Kezhong came out, bowed to Zhu Chunchen respectfully and said, "Master~"

"Who is Tang Guozuo working with to drive up the price of food in Gyeonggi Province?"

Zhu Chunchen picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly: "Also...have you found out the origin of this convenience store for me?"

Hearing this, Zhu Kezhong leaned forward and said, "Returning to the Lord, Lingbihou, Linhuaihou, Dingxihou and several others are secretly trying to raise the price of grain.

However, Lingbihou and the others went to the Gyeonggi side, with a dozen small grain merchants in front of them, while their disciples controlled everything behind the scenes.

As for this convenience store, it is strange to say the least.

The younger one inquired in many ways, but could not find out the backers behind them. It was as if they appeared out of thin air, but the food in their hands, including cotton, was like a bottomless pit."

"The Chengguo government is not allowed to get involved in raising food prices this time."

Zhu Chunchen put down the tea cup in his hand, frowned and said: "There is too much weirdness in it. The origin of this convenience store is definitely not simple.

I still have some things to do and I have to go to the palace. You can go down and solve these things."

"Here!"

Zhu Kezhong did not dare to say anything and immediately bowed in response.

The hidden secrets of a veteran relative like Zhu Chunchen are unimaginable to ordinary people.

For slaves like Zhu Kezhong, the Chengguo Palace was their heaven, and they would do whatever Zhu Chunchen asked them to do.

'This convenience store...could it be that the emperor tinkered with it?'

Zhu Chunchen stood up and walked forward slowly, saying in his heart: 'No, I have to go to the imperial court to test it. If this matter cannot be found out, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later.

Tang Guozuo, since you want to die so much, I will help you...'

…

"Lingbihou, what does it mean to be a Duke?"

Seeing Tang Guozuo arriving late and waiting anxiously, Li Hongji frowned, stood up, and asked.

In the main hall of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, six or seven honorable relatives gathered, all looking at Tang Guozuo at this moment.

"Stop fucking mentioning it."

Tang Guozuo waved his hand and said: "This old fox is too cowardly. Before I finished speaking, I fucking told him to stop me."

"Lingbihou, didn't you say that we control more than a dozen grain merchants?"

Jiang Bingzhong frowned and said: "With these guys standing in front of us, even if Luo Yangxing's Jinyiwei wants to investigate secretly, they won't be able to find us. This is a hugely profitable deal!"

"Marquis Dingxi, I should also have a chance to say it."

Tang Guozuo sat down angrily, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said: "I am about to talk about this, but Zhu Chunchen scolded me and warned me not to do this.

Thinking of this, I feel angry!"

Li Hongji, Jiang Bingzhong and the others frowned and looked at each other. It seemed impossible to lure Zhu Chunchen into the water.

"You are a thief, this Zhu Chunchen is so shameless. Do you really think that by being promoted by His Majesty to the position of the Left Governor of the Jingwei Governor's Mansion, you have gained the emperor's trust?"

"Damn it, he himself has forgotten what kind of virtue he had before, but I haven't forgotten it either."

"Forget it, since this old fox won't get involved, let's do it. With one less person, we can get some more fucking money. As far as I know, a lot of businessmen here in Gyeonggi are fucking moving.

."

"That's right, many of these treacherous businessmen are inextricably linked to the civil servants in the court. Even if the emperor wants to investigate, he can't find them on us!"

Not long after, the main hall of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion was filled with angry curses. Li Hongji and Jiang Bingzhong, who were relatives in Beijing, all looked angry.

"Everyone, everyone, you are right to think so."

Tang Guozuo stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "I am at the Capital Governor's Mansion, and I can accompany you at all times, but you still have to be vigilant when you should be vigilant.

I feel... Jinyiwei's side, and even Changfan's side, need to bribe some reliable people. After all, we want to kill the convenience store this time.

I always feel that this convenience store has a lot of background, maybe it was run by a certain prince. This time the prices of grains, cloth, etc. are being raised, the commotion that is going to be caused is definitely not small.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you must do everything you need to do.”
