With Kou Ji's identity, he goes out to do business and can actively give up his position as the boss, so the status of the boss must be extraordinary.
The one who can surpass Kou Ji in terms of status must be the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon.
There are not many dragons, dragons and grandsons who are good friends with Kou Ji.
Shi Xiaosun had heard from Pan Su before that Kou Ji had a good relationship with Zhao Yunchu.
Then the big owner of Jiaozipu is most likely that little brat Zhao Yunchu.
If it were Zhao Yunchu, he wouldn't be afraid.
Kou Ji saw that Shi Xiaosun's steps were a little slow, and he knew that he was speculating on the identity of the big boss behind Jiaozi Pu. He smiled and said: "Our big boss is upstairs, you will know when you come up and meet us."
When Shi Xiaosun heard this, he shouted: "Just go up, whoever is afraid of whom..."
Zhao Yunchu was the grandson of the Dragon, and he was still the grandson of the Dragon.
Shi Xiaosun climbed the stairs to the third floor, stretched his neck and took a look. When he saw the figure sitting in front of the window, he was suddenly startled.
Then my knees went weak and I almost fell down the stairs.
He wanted to run as soon as he moved his legs...
Kou Ji grabbed Shi Xiaosun at the critical moment and forcefully dragged him to the middle of the third floor.
"You want to run away when you see an official. Aren't officials embarrassed to see people?"
Kou Ji pulled Shi Xiaosun, whose legs were weak, and asked with a smile.
Shi Xiaosun looked at Kou Ji with a pleading look on his face.
If he complained, he didn't want to say a word, and he didn't have the intention.
He wants to run now.
Chen Lin snorted coldly and scolded: "You still don't show courtesy when you meet an official? Have you forgotten all the rules taught in the palace?"
Shi Xiaosun shivered all over and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"I, Shi Xiaosun, visited the official family..."
Before Zhao Zhen could speak, he hurriedly defended: "I'm just curious, so I came up to take a look... I definitely didn't mean to run away after seeing you... I just... I just forgot to wash up when I went out today, for fear of offending me."
The official's dragon face..."
In order to avoid punishment, Shi Xiaosun even came up with such lame excuses.
"Hahaha……"
Kou Ji laughed out loud for a moment.
He didn't want to laugh either, but he just couldn't hold it in.
Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji fiercely.
Zhao Zhen did not laugh as heartily as Kou Ji. He had received professional training and would not laugh loudly unless he couldn't help it.
But he still laughed after all, but he didn't make any sound.
He told Shi Xiaosun: "I see that there are many people downstairs who want to see me, the owner of Jiaozi Shop. I will hide in the dark for a while. You invite them to come up together."
I want to meet them and tell them that I am the boss of Jiaozipu.
Lest they worry about my money."
When Shi Xiaosun heard this, he felt as if he were mourning for his heir.
This is a deceiving thing.
He just fell into a pit, how could he bring others in?
However, does he dare not to obey the official orders?
"I obey the decree!"
Shi Xiaosun respectfully agreed.
Zhao Zhen's eyes lingered on the civil and military nobles downstairs for a moment before he slowly stood up.
Chen Lin sent someone to move the chair to a different place for Zhao Zhen to sit down.
After Zhao Zhen sat down, Kou Ji moved a chair and sat on it.
The two watched Shi Xiaosun walk to the window.
In order to attract more people, Shi Xiaosun fully developed his acting talent.
He laughed loudly for a few times, attracting the attention of some people downstairs, and then showed a happy face.
Then he pretended to notice the people downstairs looking at him and quickly closed the window.
He turned around and saw Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji looking at him blankly.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji looked at each other and laughed loudly.
Shi Xiaosun was left standing there with a sad face, as if his father was dead.
When the civil and military nobles downstairs saw this, they couldn't bear it.
Looking at Shi Xiaosun's expression, it was clear that he had taken advantage of him.
If they arrive late, they may not even be able to drink the soup.
As a result, a group of people rushed into Jiaozipu.
Only Wang Qinruo, Li Zhen, Gao Chugong and others did not move.
Attacking first can certainly gain the upper hand, but they prefer to wait for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind.
They will never take action rashly before they thoroughly understand the details of Jiaozipu.
A group of people rushed into Jiaozipu, and just like Shi Xiaosun before, they passed two levels and climbed to the third floor.
But the person who greeted him was changed from Kou Ji to Shi Xiaosun.
One by one, after seeing Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen sitting on the third floor drinking tea leisurely, they froze in place.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji never said a word from beginning to end.
They glared at Shi Xiaosun angrily, and obediently saluted Zhao Zhen amidst Chen Lin's scolding.
After a while, the third floor was filled with people.
Except for Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, the others stood there in a polite manner, not daring to move.
Shi Xiaosun looked at the officials and dudes who accompanied him, and his mood improved instantly.
A deceptive feeling...
It seems to be a little bit refreshing.
It seems a lot easier when a group of people share the pain.
Zhao Zhen glanced at the officials and dandies, not knowing what to say.
Swearing?
Don't know what to scold.
Punishment?
I don't know whether to fight or kill.
He was afraid that if he dealt too harshly, the officials would cause trouble for him in the court.
Therefore, he gave Kou Ji the power to deal with these officials and dandies.
Kou Ji received Zhao Zhen's instructions, coughed dryly, stood up slowly, and under the gaze of everyone, smiled and said: "Everyone...are you happy? Are you surprised?"
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he almost laughed out loud.
The corner of Chen Lin's mouth twitched and she glanced at Kou Ji.
The dudes and officials standing on the third floor felt the urge to go crazy.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "I rarely tell a joke, but you don't know how to laugh?"
Everyone was cursing in their hearts, but an ugly smile appeared on their faces.
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and said: "I don't need to explain the purpose of your visit to Yizijiaozipu. You all know it in your heart. Fortunately, you didn't say it out loud, nor did you do anything to cause misunderstanding."
matter.
Then there will be some room for maneuver in this matter.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison, reluctantly giving Kou Ji a good look.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's just that the biggest owner of Jiaozi Pu is the official family after all. You guys broke in without warning and bumped into the official family. I'll punish you one or two. Do you agree?"
"recognize!"
"Admit it! Admit it! Admit it!"
"..."
All the dandies and officials all spoke.
Kou Ji nodded and said with a smile: "That's good... The official Jiaozipu has just opened, so the business will inevitably be a bit sluggish. You all should set an example and save one year's salary in Jiaozipu and withdraw it in four years."
How about going back?"
As soon as these words came out.
There were different expressions on everyone's faces.
They wanted to roar at Koji.
Kou, you look at the mountains of copper coins outside the window and speak with your conscience...
Kou Ji saw that everyone had ugly faces and was unwilling to say anything, so he looked at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen understood and snorted softly.
Everyone was shocked.
He immediately agreed to Kou Ji's conditions.
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and asked everyone to stand aside...
Kou Ji returned to Zhao Zhen and sat down. After sitting down, Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji.
He didn't understand Kou Ji's intention of letting these dandy boys and officials go to Jiaozi shop to deposit money.
According to the usual practice, you will either be fined or slapped with a ban.
Let them save one year's salary and four years. Zhao Zhen can't tell whether it is important or light.
Kou Ji knew that Zhao Zhen was confused because he had not told Zhao Zhen how he wanted to punish these people.
Kou Ji explained to Zhao Zhen in a low voice: "Most of their ranks are not high, ranging from the eighth to the sixth grade. Their annual salary plus various subsidies is around five hundred to one thousand guan.
They deposit their money in Jiaozipu, and after four years, the storage fee charged is about the same.
But if we borrow their money to make money, in four years we can earn 20% of the money they saved."
Kou Ji gave an extremely conservative figure.
Zhao Zhen was good at arithmetic. He looked around Shi Xiaosun and others, roughly estimated how much their combined salaries were, and then estimated how much 20% was.
After finishing the calculation, he probably had a number in mind.
He tried hard to control the excitement in his heart and smiled at Kou Ji: "Have I made money?"
Kou Ji nodded.
The smile on Zhao Zhen's face became even stronger.
But his eyes fell on Shi Xiaosun and others. When he saw them staring at him, his face suddenly sank and he shouted softly: "Turn around!"
Shi Xiaosun and others quickly turned their heads.
Zhao Zhen finally stopped hiding his smile.
Although the figure he estimated was completely different from the financial figures he saw in the memorial.
But the first money he earned, no matter how small the amount, was still something worth being happy about.
But the smile on his face didn't last long before someone interrupted him.
A rude voice sounded on the first floor, and the sound was transmitted directly to the second floor.
"Inspection Department inspection, everyone please come out!"
The smile on Zhao Zhen's face suddenly froze.
Everyone else on the third floor was stunned.
Then one by one they stretched their necks and looked towards the first floor, even if they couldn't be seen, they still wanted to look.
They really want to know who is the hero of the Inspection Department who is so heroic?
Zhao Zhen's interest was interrupted and he felt a little annoyed.
But he didn't show it.
However, Chen Lin beside him saw what he was thinking.
Chen Lin didn't wait for Zhao Zhen's instructions, and quietly went down to the third floor with silent steps.
A few moments.
A bearded man was pinched by the flesh on the back of his neck and pulled up.
The bearded man turned pale with fright and trembled all over after seeing Zhao Zhen.
As soon as Chen Lin let go of him, he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Official...official...official family..."
"Crack!"
Chen Lin slapped the bearded man in the face and snorted, "I don't understand the rules..."
The bearded man, with blood streaming from the corner of his mouth and trembling all over, said: "I'm here to see the official..."
Seeing how miserable this man was, Zhao Zhen was a little reluctant to see him.
He waved his hand to Chen Lin, and Chen Lin took the person down.
Everyone on the third floor breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Lin taking away the bearded man.
They are rejoicing.
Fortunately, they didn't follow the behavior of the bearded man and reveal their identity and yell after entering Jiaozi Shop.
Otherwise, they might be the ones taken away by Chen Lin.
There are many relatives of the emperor among them, and they know the horror of Chen Lin's methods.
…
Outside Jiaozi Shop.
Wang Qinruo, Li Zhen, and Gao Zhanggong looked horrified at this moment.
Several waves of people entered Jiaozipu one after another, but they all disappeared like mud cows entering the sea.
This made them realize that the owner of Jiaozipu was probably not just Kou Ji.
After all, among the people who just entered, there were many relatives of the emperor.
Even though Kou Ji was not afraid of them, he was not qualified to detain people.
Just when they were secretly guessing the true identity of the owner behind Jiaozi Pu.
A man who looked like a young boy trotted up to Wang Qinruo and whispered: "Master, Master Kou has left the palace..."
Wang Qinruo raised his eyebrows.
"Um?"
The boy continued: "Coming this way."
When Wang Qinruo heard this, his expression changed, his eyes suddenly opened, he glanced at the third floor of Jiaozi Shop, and turned around decisively.
"Go home!"
Li Zhen was stunned when he saw this. He secretly analyzed the two sentences the boy just said. His expression also changed, and he quickly followed Wang Qinruo's footsteps and left the street where Jiaozi Pu was located.
Naturally, the movements between the two of them could not be hidden from Gao Chugong.
Gao Gonggong looked confused when he saw the two of them leaving.
Cao Wei, however, walked away without saying a word.
Gao Chugong hurriedly called out: "Brother Xian?"
Cao Wei paused, hesitated again and again, turned his back to the high place and said respectfully: "No one can offend the owner of Jiaozi Pu."
After leaving these words, Cao Wei walked away without saying another word.
Gao Chugong was stunned on the spot, muttering to himself in astonishment: "We can't afford to offend Bianjing City..."
Halfway through the words, he understood the meaning of Cao Wei's words.
He was secretly frightened and stamped his feet: "The little brat in the Kou Mansion is so evil that he almost dug a hole and buried me."
“Let’s go, let’s go back home!”
He hurriedly urged the servants around him to escape from this place.
Not long after they left, Kou Zhun arrived in front of Jiaozi Shop in a sedan chair.
After getting off the sedan chair, I looked up at the sign of Jiaozi Shop, my face darkened, and I stepped into Jiaozi Shop.
As soon as he entered the Jiaozi Shop, everyone's eyes fell on him.
After seeing the shiny purple official uniform he was wearing, no one dared to talk to him.
He glanced left and right, and after seeing the cheaply dressed imperial guard guarding the stairs, he went up to the third floor with a dark face.
Everyone on the third floor heard a noise on the stairs and went over together.
They thought someone who was not afraid of death would come to cause trouble.
But when Kou Zhun's face was revealed, the expressions of everyone on the third floor changed, including Zhao Zhen.
Kou Zhun looked around with tiger eyes, and after seeing Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and shouted at those officials and dandies, "Get out..."
Those officials and dandies, like mice seeing a cat, fled the third floor of Jiaozipu in despair.
Kou Zhun waited until those people had left, first saluted Zhao Zhen, and then said with a dark face: "Guan, how can you come to a place like this?"
Zhao Zhen stood up and smiled awkwardly: "I... just walk around..."
"Um?!"
Kou Zhun stared.
Zhao Zhen quickly looked at Kou Ji asking for help.
Seeing this, Kou Ji took a step forward, cupped his hands to Kou Zhun and said: "I have seen my grandfather, my grandfather, and the official family..."
"roll!"
"oh!"
Kou Zhun gave a cold shout, and Kou Ji immediately swallowed the rest of his words and gave Zhao Zhen a look like I can't save you.
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and could only deal with it by himself.
"Grand Master...I haven't done anything since I got here."
Kou Zhun said solemnly: "When the official left the palace, he told the old minister that you were going to inspect the resettlement place for the refugees outside the city. The old minister thought that you wanted to see the suffering of the people.
But I didn’t expect that you would actually come back to Jiaozipu and make such a big fuss.”
