, the Suspended Mirror will turn its attention to the Chamber of Commerce that is causing trouble.
"It's rare for Master Xuanjing to come to Jiangzuo. We can't let him go back like this!" Mei Changsu snorted, "Didn't he want to investigate? We will cooperate fully. If he finds out these three companies, we will reveal the collusion between the government and businessmen.
evidence of!"
"...Yes!" Wan Wei said after pondering for a while, "I understand!"
"It's been a full year since I took office. You should know why I didn't hand over the evidence of collusion between the two other government and businessmen!" Mei Changsu sighed, "Remember, the Jiangzuo Alliance can never show that it is superior to the government at any time.
Ability."
"I understand!" Everyone clasped their fists and shouted in unison.
"I will still stay in the Yang Mansion these days, and everything depends on you." Mei Changsu said, cupping his fists.
"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists and said in unison.
"The steward of the Yang Mansion should have arranged a place for you!" Mei Changsu changed the subject, and his words changed from cold to gentle, "Go to sleep! There will be a battle tomorrow overtly and covertly! I will not take action in this battle, just wait for you.
good news."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Everyone responded confidently, but still stopped after saluting.
"What? Is there anything else? If it's for year-end money, there's no need to mention it!" Mei Changsu said with a smile.
"Sect Master, this is the list of gifts received by Qinghui Hall today!" Wan Wei stepped forward and presented the account book with both hands.
"Sect Master, this is the list of gifts received by Juyi Hall today!" Nangong Ze also stepped forward and presented the account book.
"Okay!" Mei Changsu took the two account books and nodded, "I'll give them back to you after I've looked at them! Go and rest."
After Li Gang and Zhen Ping looked at each other, they both knelt down on one knee and said: "Sect Master, Li Gang, the left helmsman, and Zhen Ping, the right helmsman, have prepared a congratulatory gift. I hope the sect master will accept it!"
"Sect Master!" The rest of the crowd knelt down and said loudly: "Congratulations to the Sect Master for being crowned today. Tianlu Hall, Tianji Hall, Juyi Hall, and Qinghui Hall each prepared a congratulatory gift. I hope the Sect Master will accept it."
"...What are you doing?" Mei Changsu scolded, but he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, "You guys went to Mr. Lin for help?"
"Uh... I did find the young master, but Mr. Lin only said that the gift should not exceed ten taels of silver, otherwise the sect master would not accept it, and then pointed out a few shops for us to see by ourselves." Li Gang lowered his head and said.
"Oh?" Mei Changsu raised an eyebrow, "Which shops did he point to?"
"They are all local shops in Xuzhou. One sells the four treasures of the study, one sells woodware, and the other two sell jade and porcelain. My subordinates checked and found that they are all properties under the name of Yang Yuanwai..." Gu Qing replied
road.
Mei Changsu threw the account book in his hand on the desk, walked among the people, and looked through it one by one.
What Li Gang and Zhen Ping presented was a jade crown made of white jade.
On behalf of Tianjitang, Chen Kun presented a jade crown made of white jade.
On behalf of Tianlu Hall, Gu Qing presented a jade crown made of white jade.
Nangong Ze and Wan Wei presented jade crowns made of white jade on behalf of Juyi Hall and Qinghuitang respectively.
A jade crown is not a jade crown, but a jade hair crown.
"Pfft!" Mei Changsu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Is this what you guys have agreed upon?"
It takes a closer look to see the subtle differences in the patterns on the five jade crowns.
"No, no!" everyone said in unison.
"Sect Master, we really didn't discuss it! It was only when I took it out yesterday that I found that I had prepared the same gift!" Li Gang said with a blushing face.
"That's great! It shows that you two have a tacit understanding!" Mei Changsu placed the five gift boxes on the desk and smiled, "It's just that you fell into Mr. Lin's trap again!"
"Ah?" everyone cried out.
Mei Changsu smiled and said: "Let me guess what he said to make you all fall into the trap?" In order to avoid suspicion, you can't tell the merchant that it's a crowning gift for Chang Su. If you say it's your brother who wants a crowning gift, I think.
I'm preparing a small gift, but I only have ten taels of silver in my pocket. Can the store recommend a suitable gift?'"
Everyone lowered their heads, their faces turning white and red.
"Hall Master Wan, as the master of Qinghui Pavilion, you should know that the price of these jade crowns is more than ten taels!" Mei Changsu asked softly, "Since Lin Chen guided what happened today and Yuan Yuanwai acquiesced, I will not pursue it.
, but you should be careful if you encounter people who buy high and sell low again in the future. Especially Li Gang and Zhen Ping, you two will receive more things than other hall masters, and you need to be careful."
"Yes, Sect Master!" everyone said in unison.
"I like your gift very much, go and rest!" Mei Changsu nodded and smiled.
"My subordinates resign!"
Bang bang bang!
Not long after Li Gang and others left, the sound of a watch sounded outside the Lanting Pavilion. But the sound was very strange. Mei Changsu listened for a while and helplessly put on the thin fur he had just taken off: "Come in, Mr. Lin!
"
"Hey, I'm so proud now that I'm crowned. You greeted me in person before!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen burst into the room carrying a copper basin in one hand and soup in the other.
"Close the door quickly!" Mei Changsu wrapped her thin fur tightly around her body.
"No hands!"
"Don't you always close it with your feet?" Mei Changsu glared at Lin Chen.
"He is really a member of a noble family!" Lin Chen closed the door with his foot in a good-tempered manner, floated to Mei Changsu's side and handed the soup bowl away, "Drink quickly!"
"Didn't you take some ointment?" Mei Changsu muttered.
"Have you eaten the ointment?" Lin Chen gave Mei Changsu a contemptuous look.
Not daring to talk, Mei Changsu drank the warm decoction in one gulp and muttered in a low voice: "...how do you know I didn't take it!"
"You guessed it! Drinking an extra bowl of medicine won't do you any harm anyway!" Lin Chen said matter-of-factly.
"..."
"The moonlight is hazy tonight, and tomorrow will be another snowy day!" Lin Chen said softly, "I don't know how many days it will snow. In order to get some luck, and also to make Mr. Yang feel at ease, you... your business, I
My father and I didn’t tell him everything, for example...you will never live forever. So if you don’t want him to see the clues, you need to be more careful, otherwise...with his temper, he can do anything."
"Yeah!" Mei Changsu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, Mongolian doctor is going to sleep. Do you have any other instructions from Sect Master Mei?" After explaining the business, Lin Chen put on a cynical smile again, "If you can't calm down and sleep peacefully, Mongolian doctor can give Sect Leader a tie.
Two shots!”
"..."
"I tried it once and it worked well!" While laughing, Lin Chen had already taken out the needle bag he carried with him.
The Mongolian doctor took out all the needle packs. Is there still room for negotiation? So Mei Changsu untied his thin fur and asked funnyly: "Why do I think it's you who can't sleep peacefully?"
"It makes sense that I can't fall asleep because I expect to collude with Sect Leader Mei." Lin Chen said with a sly smile.
"..."
"Hey, Chang Su, don't be merciful just because he gave you a crown!" Lin Chen held the needle and said slightly threateningly, "We have a gentleman's agreement, you have to help me get those things back!"
"...We will divide the gold and silver we got back fifty-fifty!" Mei Changsu quickly calculated in his mind and said coldly, "Although the gold inlay on the outside of the coffin was made by Pavilion Master Lin, the other places on the coffin are inlaid with gold.
The gold and silver are all the private property of the Prince's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion."
"No way, I've already calculated the amount of gold and silver to be inlaid on the coffin before going..." When Lin Chen heard that a piece of fat in his mouth was about to be cut off, Lin Chen was so anxious that he spilled the beans.
Mei Changsu smiled and said nothing.
"That's all, the listener has a share, three or seven is open, you three and I are seven!" Lin Chen shouted.
"Forty-six points, if Changsu loses a little, he will get four!" Mei Changsu said with a smile.
"You!" The silver needle pointed at the tip of Mei Changsu's nose.
Mei Changsu closed his coat and made a half salute, and said with a smile: "If Mr. Lin feels that something is wrong, why not go and take off the gold and silver from the coffin! As for the gentleman's agreement between Chang Su and Mr. Lin, Chang Su will remember it.
. Before leaving the Yang Mansion this time, I decided to put the pearl rice field watered with milk into Mei's name."
Lin Chen clicked his tongue, looked Mei Changsu up and down and muttered: "He is really an uncle and nephew, and his behavior is very good!"
"What does this have to do with Yuanwai? Changsu just got closer to Master Lin recently, and he couldn't help but get angry!" Mei Changsu said politely.
"Nonsense, obviously...!" Well, he admitted that he did not have Mei Changsu Bai.
"How are you thinking, Pavilion Master Lin?" Mei Changsu said jokingly.
"Four or six is four or six, but we agreed that you have to get me the land that is watered with milk." Lin Chen held up his chin and motioned for Mei Changsu to take off her clothes.
"In my name?" Mei Changsu said with a smile.
"As long as I can use it at any time, it's fine if it's in your name!" Lin Chen said, twisting the silver needle.
"One more thing, I want to ask you for a favor..." Mei Changsu's eyes flashed and he whispered, "Don't be angry..."
"Don't say anything if you know I'll be angry!" Lin Chen glared.
"No, only you can help me with this!" Mei Changsu said anxiously, "If you agree to my agreement, I won't take any of your shares!"
Lin Chen's face darkened, and he finally put down the silver needle in his hand and said in a deep voice: "What does Sect Leader Mei want from me?"
