If you receive a windfall from heaven, you will not be blamed for it.
Li Qinzai never had the heart to refuse the windfalls that came to his door.
Not only did he not refuse, he would also like to take more of it if possible.
Only now did Li Qinzai realize that there was a beautiful misunderstanding between him and the Lord of Jinxiang County, very beautiful.
It's a pity that this misunderstanding was discovered too late. Prince Teng will leave tomorrow. Li Qinzai tried hard to keep him as a guest but failed to keep him.
Missing the rich man was like missing the love of his life. Li Qinzai really felt heartbroken.
The banquet broke up unhappily, and Prince Teng was severely plucked out of his armpit hair and walked away angrily.
After going out and getting on the carriage, Prince Teng took a deep breath and tried to open up his own pattern.
It's okay, it's just a loss of money. At least it killed the little bud between my daughter and that boy, which is worth it.
I have to say that Prince Teng's character is very cute and lovable. He is optimistic and cheerful by nature and never gets into trouble. Thinking of this, Prince Teng suddenly felt that he had done a profitable business.
The more I think about it, the more proud I am. As for the money I lost just now, well, I have countless properties and shops in my name, so what does it mean to lose money? Money is a bastard, and that boy named Li is also a bastard.
Using a bastard's egg to hit another bastard's egg is exactly my style.

At night, the Korean lady's residence.
In the dead of night in Bingzhou City, only the sound of the watchman's banging sound echoed in the silent night sky.
Mrs. Korea had rested early. Prince Teng came to visit her tonight and bid her farewell. Mrs. Korea was also a delicate person, so naturally she was treated to a feast.
It can be said that Prince Teng was a true-hearted person. After seeing her once in the palace many years ago, he was astonished and fawned over her. Every time he looked at her, his eyes showed deep affection.
.
This time King Teng was clearly going to Hongzhou, but he stayed in Bingzhou for more than a month, saying he was having fun with the local literati. But Mrs. Han knew that King Teng was doing it for her.
It's a pity that she can't accept Prince Teng, because she and the emperor have already...
After drinking some wine tonight, perhaps because of the sadness of separation lingering in her heart, Mrs. Korea felt a little drunk. After King Teng left, she went to bed early.
In the pitch-black night, three figures climbed over the wall of the mansion and landed quietly in the courtyard.
The figure entered the hospital and squatted on the ground in silence for a long time, observing the movements around him. After making sure that no one was noticing, the three of them dispersed in a tacit understanding and quietly sneaked towards the backyard.
The three of them seemed to have known the rooms in Mrs. Korea's mansion for a long time. They avoided the patrolling guards with ease and went straight to the door of Mrs. Korea's bedroom.
Crouching in the dark corridor, the three of them slowly pulled out their knives, the blades emitting a terrifying cold light under the dim moonlight...
…………
Early the next morning, while Li Qinzai was still sleeping, he was woken up by Liu Asi.
Opening his eyes dissatisfied, Li Qinzai's eyes were full of anger. Even if I woke him up, I would bear his anger.
Liu Asi didn't care about apologizing and said anxiously: "Fifth Young Master, it's not good. The Korean lady was assassinated last night!"
Li Qinzai suddenly woke up and sat up suddenly: "Mrs. Korea is dead?"
"Not dead, but seriously injured. The three assassins had touched the door of her room, but they didn't expect that there was a dog in her house. The dog barked fiercely, which alerted the guards in the house, and then they came to save Han Han.
lady."
Li Qinzai's eyes have returned to calmness and he said: "Where is Mrs. Korea's injury?"
"The knife was stabbed in the abdomen. Fortunately, it was blocked by the ribs. The ribs were broken, but the internal organs were not seriously injured. In addition, the Korean lady had more than ten wounds of different sizes on her body."
Li Qinzai frowned and murmured: "The people behind the grain merchants finally took action..."
Liu Asi said in confusion: "The Korean lady should have been with that group of people, why did they want to kill her?"
"I have driven down the price of grain in Bingzhou. They are in a doomed situation. Mrs. Korea may want to quit, or she may wake up, but she knows too many secrets. How can those people leave her alive?"
Liu Asi was surprised and said: "She is His Majesty's imperial concubine. How dare they..."
Li Qinzai said calmly: "They don't dare to do anything. As long as they endanger themselves, they even dare to rebel against His Majesty. Wealth and honor are found in danger, so it's not surprising."
"Who do you think they are, Fifth Young Master?"
Li Qinzai smiled: "I don't know, but I will know soon. This group of people should be removed. Otherwise, Bingzhou will still not be peaceful. If I am transferred back to Chang'an, they will drive up the price of food in Bingzhou, and the people will be miserable."
There is really no way to survive.”
"These days I am polite to grain merchants and have never resorted to violence. They must think that I am naturally good-tempered and like a nerd who dare not see blood, ha..."
"They are used to my merciful methods. It's time for them to see my thunderbolts."
"Ah Si, for the two thousand soldiers who have been ordered to enter the city, from today onwards, I will take over the command of the army."
Liu Asi clasped his fists in response, and then said: "Is Fifth Young Master going to kill someone? Who to kill first?"
Li Qinzai pondered for a long time and said slowly: "The people behind the grain merchants can't help but take action. In addition to Mrs. Korea, they must be even more unwilling to have Bingzhou grain prices driven down by me. This is what they care about most. They
If they want to fight back, how do you think they will fight back?"
Liu Asi shook his head in astonishment: "I don't know."
Li Qinzai thought for a moment and sighed: "Let's set up another situation and see who will get in..."
…………
That night, I went to Bingzhou Guancang.
There are not only grain warehouses in the official warehouse, but also silver warehouses, porcelain warehouses and cloth warehouses. They are centralized together. A small number of them are leased to local and foreign merchants to provide temporary storage space for their goods. Of course,
Not free.
In the dead of night, people were heavily guarded inside and outside the official warehouse. The officers of the governor's office were patrolling back and forth holding torches. Everything was still as calm as usual.
After midnight, when everything was quiet, the patrolling officers couldn't help but dozed off, and walked around the official warehouse twice lazily and listlessly.
At this moment, a carriage came slowly and stopped outside the official warehouse.
The officer on duty in front of the door stepped forward to stop him, but saw Wang Shifu, the other driver, stepping out of the carriage.
The officer was stunned and hurriedly greeted him.
Wang Shifu nodded lightly and stared at the official warehouses piled up like hills. Wang Shifu's face couldn't help but show some complexity and struggle.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Shifu gritted his teeth and walked into the official warehouse.
Wang Shifu walked around and inspected several official warehouses like a leisurely stroll, and finally Wang Shifu stopped outside the official warehouse where grain was piled.
Seeing no one around, Wang Shifu opened the door of the official warehouse, tremblingly took out a fire stick from his arms, shook it slightly, the fire light lit up, and the dim firelight reflected his pale face.
Just as he was about to throw the huozhezi into the granary, suddenly a dark wind blew from behind and the huozhezi was blown out.
Wang Shifu was startled, turned around suddenly and shouted: "Who?"
Without warning, torches suddenly lit up all around.
Hundreds of soldiers from the Ningshuo Governor's Mansion held torches and held halberds, surrounding the granary.
Not long after, the crowd made a way and Li Qinzai slowly walked out. Under the dim firelight, Li Qinzai's expression was complicated and regretful.
"How can you be a thief if you are a beautiful woman..." Li Qinzai sighed.
Wang Shifu was shocked, and suddenly understood something, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you...had known that I..."
Li Qinzai shook his head: "I didn't know it was you, and I always hoped it wasn't you, but I couldn't deceive myself... Wang Biejia, this is an urn, but it's a pity that you got in."
Wang Shifu's expression changed several times. After a long while, he sighed: "Li Shi, I still underestimated you after all."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Do you think I am actually a notorious playboy who acts recklessly and does not know the depth of things?"
Wang Shifu shook his head: "We have inquired about you and studied you. You are not just a playboy. From last year to now, your majesty has gradually valued you for your great achievements. We have heard about many of your deeds, and you are enough."
Take it seriously."
"We have resisted your attempts to suppress food prices these days, and have not taken any action. We just know that you are not simple, so we have concerns about you."
Li Qinzai smiled: "Now all the grain in the hands of the grain merchants has been collected by the governor's office and concentrated in the official warehouse. Therefore, the official warehouse has become my key point. If a fire burns all the grain in the official warehouse, Bingzhou will fall into trouble again."
panic……"
"Wang Biejia, whatever you can think of, I can naturally think of, but at this step, you have made another miscalculation."
Wang Shifu lowered his head and sighed: "Yes, we made a miscalculation... Actually, I don't agree with burning the official warehouse, but we have no choice. Mrs. Korea is not dead, and we will be exposed sooner or later, so we can only make a desperate move."
