"Your Majesty, I and the other four of you don't know anything about what you said. Please give us some time to investigate," Wang Daowu said.

Lu Zheng said: "Your Majesty, even if they increase prices during the locust plague, it will only be temporary. When I know about it, I will definitely stop them and it will not cause much harm to the people.

However, Qin Huaiyu and his companions targeted our four families and led soldiers to rob our granaries. If this was followed by everyone, wouldn't it put everyone in the merchant world at risk?

Is it true that as long as the force is strong enough, we can buy and sell by force?"

Li Er said calmly: "Didn't I learn this from you?"

Lu Zheng and the other four were immediately speechless. They had really done this kind of thing a lot.

The Cui family of Boling had offended Li Feng because of forced buying and selling. This also caused Li Feng to get angry and open a brewery of his own. From then on, the Cuisine brewery in Chang'an's brewing industry was always suppressed by Li Feng.

One head.

Li Feng even spread the word that anyone who bought wine from Cui's Winery could not buy his wine. For a time, no one in Chang'an was willing to buy wine from Cui's Winery.

Even in order to taste the liquor brewed by Li Feng, they did not buy Cui's liquor.

Later, Mrs. Cui came to pay compensation and someone died, so she finally understood the matter.

Li Er looked at them speechless and couldn't tell how happy he was. Especially when he learned that Qin Huaiyu and others had robbed four houses of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, this made him laugh for a long time.

He had long wanted to rob those members of the aristocratic family, but he did not dare to affect his whole body. Therefore, he could only endure it.

But today, Qin Huaiyu and the others gave him a bad breath, which was really great.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you. The four of you have mortgaged 4 million assets in the bank. If they are not repaid within three months, those assets will be auctioned by the bank." Li Er once again revealed a shocking news.

.

This news made them shocked, angry and panicked.

"Your Majesty, is this true?" Lu Zheng asked.

Li Er said solemnly: "Do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?"

Cui Qinghe and the other four couldn't help but look at each other. They saw a conspiracy in each other's eyes. Yes, they felt that this matter was a conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, I want to know how you will punish the soldiers who robbed our food, as well as Qin Huaiyu and other commanders." Cui Qinghe asked.

Li Er smiled and said: "I don't intend to punish them, and they have done nothing wrong. If you think they are wrong, you might as well sue them tomorrow morning and let everyone judge them, okay?"

"Yes. I'm leaving." When the four of them saw what Li Er had said, they didn't know what to say. They would wait until they understood the situation.

The four people left the palace.

Cui Qinghe said: "Three family heads, Your Majesty is going to side with Qin Huaiyu and others. What do you think we should do now?"

"I'm not worried that Your Majesty will side with Qin Huaiyu and the others, but I'm more worried that His Majesty's words are true," Wang Daowu said.

Zheng Jingdao: "You mean Zheng came again and they used the family's assets to mortgage the bank and then exchanged them for four million yuan?"

Wang Daowu nodded and said: "Yes, once it is true, our four major families will be laughed at by the other three major families, and even other families."

The other three nodded.

Cui Qingyuan said: "No more words, let's go to the bank to confirm this matter."

"Let's go." The other three people said in unison.

So, four carriages rushed to the bank, and they wanted to get there before the bank closed.

Fortunately, the bank is not far from the palace, because this way the bank can be better protected. Once someone robs the bank, they can send troops to capture the robbers.

When they arrived at the bank, the four of them couldn't wait to go to the VIP room.

Because they were the heads of the family with the surname Wu and Qiwang, when they arrived at the bank, someone came out to greet them directly.

"Four family heads, what kind of wind brings you here?" the bank supervisor asked with a smile.

Cui Qinghe said: "Director Li, you're welcome, just tell me, has Cui Rong ever been to a bank to take out a mortgage?"

"Master Cui, you are trying to embarrass me. We do not disclose customer information." Director Li said.

Cui Qinghe said solemnly: "Then I will redeem my Cui family's property. Is that okay?"

"However, there is not enough money in your personal bank account, and Cui Rong himself needs to come over." Manager Li said.

"What?" Cui Qinghe was shocked, and then he cursed angrily, "Damn it, Cui Rong, you bastard, you actually mortgaged the family's assets, I'm not done with you."

"Master Cui, don't be angry. Since I have already spilled the beans, I will say a little more." Manager Li said softly.

Cui Qinghe said: "Manager Li, please make it clear that Mr. Cui will never forget you."

"Four of you, please follow me."

After Manager Li brought Cui Qinghe and four others to the VIP room, he told them what happened today.

Afterwards, the four people left the bank angrily.

Cui Qinghe said: "Everyone, it seems that our four tribesmen want to do something big this time, something so big that even we dare to hide it. What do you think we should do now?"

Wang Daowu said: "I think there is something strange. Why do Wang Sixi and others want to raise food prices during the locust plague? Why do they suddenly need so much money?

And have you discovered that there is Li Feng’s shadow behind this incident?”

Cui Qinghe and the others nodded slightly, because they discovered that the people who went to grab food were all related to Li Feng, and Qin Huaiyu was Li Feng's apprentice.

"No matter what, let those four bastards come to see us first to understand clearly what happened, the use and whereabouts of the money." Cui Qinghe said.

"Then where are we going?" Zheng Jing asked.

Wang Daowu pondered for a moment and said: "Since there is a shadow of Li Feng, let's go to the Zhuangyuan Building. If it is related to Li Feng, we can question him on the spot..."

"Okay, that's the decision." Cui Qinghe said.

The other two nodded in agreement.

So the four people directly sent people to inform Cui Rong that they were going to the private room of Zhuangyuan Building, and they went directly to the private room of Zhuangyuan Building. Someone had already gone to notify Zheng that they were coming again.

In Cui Rong's house, after Cui Rong came back from Cui Qinghe, he didn't know what was going on. He was worried all day long, walking around the house in a particularly bad mood, and all the servants hid away.

He didn't dare to get close.

"Master, the master of the house has sent someone to invite you to see him at the Zhuangyuan Building." the housekeeper said.

Cui Rong immediately stopped and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

When Zheng came again, Wang Sixi and Lu Zishan got the news at the same time and asked them to go to the private room in Zhuangyuan Building.

The four of them arrived at the Zhuangyuan Building almost at the same time.

Cui Rong took the lead and said, "Are you here too?"

"The master of the house has a destiny, how could he not come?" Wang Sishi said.

Lu Zishan said: "I don't know if it's good news or bad news? Can the food be recovered?"

"You'll know after you go," Zheng said again.
