Chapter 354: Zhao Bai is in charge of the pawnshop
As expected, the three of them walked along the cave and walked out of the cave in about an hour.
In front of you is an open lake, beside the lake is a flat grassland, and next to the grassland is the unique bamboo forest in Phoenix Mountain.
Seeing the bamboo forest, the three of them were filled with ecstasy. They had already climbed to the other side of Phoenix Mountain.
In other words, they have arrived in Lin'an City.
Qin Shaobai fumbled around in his arms a few times and took out several masks.
Zhao Bai took one first, without even looking at what the face looked like, and stuck it on his own face.
After the two of them put it on, Lian Le laughed out loud when he saw it.
The two hurriedly ran to the lake and started laughing when they saw each other's faces.
The two masks are actually 70% similar.
Zhao Bai's picture is slightly younger than Qin Shaobai's.
"Miss Qingyi wants you to become brothers."
After Lian Le finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth.
Qin Shaobai's eyes turned cold, but soon returned to normal.
Lian Le didn't ask, and he didn't talk about Mu Qingyi's matter, or maybe he really didn't want to mention Mu Qingyi's matter.
"Since we are so similar, let's become three brothers and sisters doing business in Lin'an."
"Isn't General Zhao going back to the General's Mansion?"
Zhao Bai turned around and glanced at Qin Shaobai: "Shaobai, the two of us have experienced a lot of sex and beauty these days. What about guards, fortune tellers, and wizards? This time, let us do it.
He must have become a wealthy shopkeeper once and for all."
Qin Shaobai laughed.
The three of them were walking forward, but Zhao Bai suddenly turned back.
I saw him running to the place where they came out just now, and exerting force with his hands, the stones on both sides were pushed by him, directly covering the entrance of the cave.
The three of them walked to Lin'an City in a swaggering manner.
Soon, Zhao Bai bought a silk and satin shop opposite Wangxiang Building.
"Miss Lian Le should like these colorful clothes."
Lian Le curled his lips.
She actually preferred the blacksmith shop next to the silk and satin shop. The knives and axes there made her eyes straighten.
"By the way, Shaobai, the gold shop next door belongs to you. By the way, I will also buy the blacksmith shop between your two shops. Then we will find a trustworthy person to run this for us.
shop."
Before Qin Shaobai said anything, Lian Le laughed happily.
Zhao Bai pointed to a shelter not far away: "That will be my first stop to stand up again."
When he said this, Zhao Bai cast his eyes towards the palace in front, and the cold look in his eyes made Qin Shaobai feel a shudder.
A few days later, all the merchants in Lin'an knew that the largest pawn shop on Yu Street had changed its owner.
This matter quickly spread throughout Lin'an, and not only the wealthy businessmen, but also the bosses of various government departments were involved in the chaos.
In their minds, it is absolutely impossible for this pawn shop to change its owner.
This pawn shop is not a private bank, it is a government-established financial institution. Many departments have deposited their principal in this pawn shop and used the interest as their operating funds.
Naturally, wherever there is official involvement, there will be darkness.
Therefore, the operators of this pawn shop are carefully selected by the Ministry of Finance.
Shi Miyuan was the former Minister of Household Affairs, and the former owner of this pawn shop was also Shi Miyuan's confidant.
Later, those who served as Minister of Household Affairs also naturally recognized this Boss Gan.
Who would have thought that now a man named Zhao Yi would appear and happily become the owner of this pawn shop.
The new Minister of Household Affairs, whose surname is Tian, can also be regarded as a close confidant of Shi Miyuan.
When he heard the news, he was very calm. He comforted everyone who came to report the news, and ran to the prime minister's house and asked to see Shi Miyuan.
Unexpectedly, people from the Prime Minister's Office said that Shi Gong had been out of Lin'an City in the past few days, and it was not clear when he would return.
Tian Shangshu returned to the mansion. Everyone who was waiting in the mansion was panicked when they heard the news and paced back and forth in the hall with their hands behind their backs.
"Mr. Tian, why don't you just arrest Zhao Yi on the grounds that their private transactions are illegal."
Tian Shangshu rolled his eyes at the speaker.
After returning from the Prime Minister's Palace, he went to find the original owner of the pawn shop.
Who knew that the boss would take the whole family and leave Lin'an without saying a word.
The servant who was left to guard the door sent him a letter.
The letter explained that the boycott of the pawnshop to give up the owner was not a private act, but a direct order from the royal family.
Royal order?
Could it be that the emperor knew the secret of this pawn shop and specially sent his trusted people to take over it, just to investigate them?
The more Tian Shangshu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He felt like a goat being led into a primeval forest. He didn't know when a tiger would jump out from behind him.
"Master Tian, Master Shi is not in Lin'an now, you have to make the decision for us."
"Yes, Master Tian, do you think we should go to the pawn shop and take out all the money?"
"What's the use of taking out Jiaozi? The most important thing is the account book in the shop."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone smashing into everyone's heart. The uneasy heart stirred up thousands of waves, but each layer was deep in the whirlpool. It just stirred up the sea of hearts with all its strength, but it didn't
Don't dare show any signs of collapse.
"Shut up."
Master Tian started to drink.
"We still don't know who took over this pawn shop, and we don't even know who is behind him. You guys are just arguing and messing around here because you think you are dirty.
Doesn’t anyone know about this?”
As soon as Mr. Tian scolded them, everyone just stopped talking, their heads hanging down, not knowing what to do.
Master Tian also frowned, picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip.
Unexpectedly, the servant had just made the tea, which was so hot that his tongue almost blistered.
The jade cup in his hand also fell down with a crisp sound of breaking.
When everyone saw it, they stood up in shock.
The girl who had just made tea for Mr. Tian was so frightened that she knelt down, her body trembling, and her head on the ground was banging on the ground like pounding garlic.
Mr. Tian grabbed the teapot on the table and was about to throw it at the little girl.
But the sound of horse hooves was heard from the courtyard door, and then the housekeeper rushed in and whispered a few words in Master Tian's ear.
Tian Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and his face became even more ugly.
"Master Tian, could something have happened?"
Seeing Mr. Tian's ugly face, no one dared to step forward.
After a moment of silence, someone finally had the courage to ask.
"It's okay, butler, please take the adults out of the back door. Don't let anyone discover that the adults have been to the Shangshu Mansion today, do you understand?"
The Lords have never gone out through the back door of Lord Shangshu. This is obviously a great shame and humiliation for them.
However, no one of them said a word now.
With Mr. Tian's ugly face and such an unusual arrangement, something big must have happened.
With big things ahead of them, all they can do is leave as soon as possible.
It doesn't matter, just hang it up high.
This has always been the style followed by officials like them.
What's more, looking at the situation, the person who came to Shangshu Mansion was someone even Lord Tian was afraid of.
