    The two sleeping officials poured water and immediately jumped up and asked: "What are you doing" He was about to rush up angrily, but Fang Jinshi knocked the copper basin on the stool and made a loud banging sound.  Shouting loudly: "Someone has escaped from prison, come on, someone has escaped from prison"

    Three sergeants and officers rushed up, snatched the copper washbasin from his hand, and pushed him to the ground together. However, they had already alerted a large number of officers and guards who rushed in. Many prisoners were awakened and crowded into the cell.  Watch at the door.

    The officers who rushed in asked each other and patrolled around. Fang Jinshi was picked up in embarrassment, but his face was filled with a smile of victory. The three sergeants no longer took him to the court, and angrily took him to the court.  After being remanded back to the cell, a sergeant pushed him in and kicked him in the waist.

    After a while, everything became quiet again. He heard the rooster crowing in the distance. It was almost dawn. Fang Jinshi knew that he was safe for the time being. Thinking carefully about what happened last night, Fang Jinshi felt scared. If he hadn't been alert, then Fang Jinshi would have been afraid.  Three sergeants took him out of the prison gate. As long as they shouted that someone had escaped from prison, they could hack him to death. Who would stand up for his unjust death?

    At this time, Fang Jinshi felt that despite the apparent calmness, the fight under the water was actually a life-or-death situation. Even if he was willing to compromise, others would want to kill him as soon as they seized the opportunity.

    It was just getting dark when Cai Ang came over. He brought something to eat for Fang Jinshi. While watching Fang Jinshi eating, Cai Ang said, "I heard someone said that someone came over last night to bring you to court?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "It's a lie to mention me, but it's true to want to kill me."

    Cai Ang had actually learned about what happened last night. He said with a worried look on his face: "It seems that I really want to report to Xianggong Cai as soon as possible and ask him to come forward and say a few words to the court to let some people with evil intentions know."  Only if you have some scruples.¡±

    Fang Jinshi deeply agreed, and Cai Ang added: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I was careless last night and almost made a big mistake. I will immediately arrange for my own people to take care of you to ensure that you are safe and sound. I have the prosecutor to report directly to the state capital."  With the governor¡¯s power, Governor Xiong does not dare to be too arrogant.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "Thank you very much, Cai. Some people have made such a bad move, which also proves that they are upright and can deal with me. There are not many ways."

    Cai An said goodbye to him and turned around to go out. After another two hours, two officials came over, opened the cell where Fang Jinshi lived and said, "Mr. Fang, Magistrate Xiong has summoned you."

    Fang Jinshi stood up and said, "Do you want to go to court?"

    An official said: "The order from Magistrate Xiong was just to summon him, but he never ordered him to appear in court."

    Fang Jinshi was very surprised and didn't know what kind of medicine Xiong Che was selling in the gourd. However, Xiong Che might not lynch him in broad daylight, but Fang Jinshi still asked: "Does Cai Jianzhou know?"

    The official said honestly: "Cai Jianzhou has already ordered that he should be notified of all Mr. Fang's affairs. He has already been sent to tell him."

    Only then did Fang Jinshi feel relieved. He followed two officials out of the prison in Pingjiang Mansion. The two officials politely led him to the back hall of the Yamen of Prefecture. They stopped at the door and an official said inside: "Master Fang."  Bring it.¡±

    Xiong Che¡¯s voice inside said: ¡°Bring him in.¡±

    The official sent the other party into the stone and said, "Master Fang, please come."

    Fang Jinshi stepped into the back hall and was stunned for a moment as soon as he entered the door. He saw Xiong Che at the top and Cai Meng accompanying him at the bottom. There were only two of them in the room.

    As soon as Cai Meng saw him, he put down the tea bowl in his hand and stood up. He said with a smile: "Brother Fang has suffered a lot. Brother Yu heard the news and rushed back overnight. Fortunately, he was still in time. Magistrate Xiong has not yet appeared in court. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.  Big.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "I heard Mr. Sun say, didn't Mr. Da go back to Bashu?"

    Cai Mengdao: "I came back after finishing the matter. There were still more than sixty miles left yesterday. I was going to go somewhere else, but suddenly I had to report that something like this happened to Brother Fang, so I rushed here."

    Fang Jinshi bowed his hands to Cai Meng and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Da."

    Cai Mengdao: "I have collected some tea quotes from the past to clarify the misunderstanding to Magistrate Xiong. It is not my Sihai Tea House's fault. I am also going to ask Zhang Zhuanen to come in person. Magistrate Xiong said that since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to trouble him.  , Brother Fang is fine and can go back."

    Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xiong Che. Xiong Che said: "Since the tea quotation is not fake and Mr. Meng Da is the guarantor, I will be lenient and let you go back. Those tea leaves seized by the government will also be taken away by you."  It can be shipped back.¡±

    No matter how much Fang Jinshi had thoughts at this time, he could only bow and thank him. Cai Meng said to Xiong Che, "The Yamen is busy with official business, so we won't disturb you."

    ? ?Xiong Che stood up and said a few more polite words. Cai Meng took Fang Jinshi to say goodbye to Xiong Che and left the Pingjiang Mansion Office. Fang Jinshi couldn't help but look back at the tall court door. Cai Meng noticed it and asked  One sentence: "Brother Fang, what are you looking at?"

    Fang Jinshi turned around and said, "I want to remember this place."

    Cai Meng smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to take it too seriously. No one has ever had setbacks in their lifetime. These government officials are sometimes unreasonable and you can't help it."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I would like to thank Mr. Da for helping me this time."

    Cai Meng laughed and said, "We are all brothers. If we say thank you too much, we will be out of touch."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Mr. Da is busy with things. I have to go back and change my clothes. Can I visit you another day?"

    Cai Mengdao: "It's okay, because I haven't been on Huaixi Road recently, Brother Fang may have some misunderstandings with other shopkeepers. How about we find an opportunity to have a drink at my house in a few days and discuss it?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Very good."

    He said goodbye to Cai Meng and returned home first. Huang Jinmian heard that he was back and was very happy. He quickly asked the kitchen to prepare delicious food. Fang Jinshi took a good bath and changed into clean clothes. Shi Hao and shopkeeper Hu  I heard about it and came over to ask.

    Fang Jinshi sighed: "If this matter was planned and deployed by Cai Meng, in terms of the sudden changes in the city and the continuous backhand, I am really not as good as him."

    Shi Hao said: "It was no luck that he sat in that position. He changed immediately as soon as we came up with a solution. But it's okay, at least you can come back safely."

    Fang Jinshi said: "After this incident, everyone in Sihai Company knows that he saved me. If I go against him in the future, others will accuse me of having no conscience. How many people will support me? If I make a mistake, everything will be ruined."  Lose, I¡¯m still too impulsive in doing things.¡±

    Shi Hao said: "What should we do?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "This matter may not be all bad for me. Cai Meng never dares to do too much to me. He invited me to discuss with Sun Defu Zhirong, which must be a good thing for Sihai Tea House. We are waiting for the opportunity."  , he will be able to turn over, but at this time, he must endure it."

    His judgment was absolutely correct. A few days later, Cai Meng summoned Fu Zhirong and Sun De to have tea and wine together. On the surface, he scolded Fu Zhirong and asked him to treat Sihai Tea House more kindly in the future.

    "Don't chase after poor enemies, just give them up when they're ready. Of course Cai Meng understands this truth."

    Another half month has passed.

    On this day, Fang Jinshi checked the accounts. Shopkeeper Hu said at the side: "I haven't received much loose tea recently."

    Fang Jin Shi Daqi said: "This season should be when tea farmers sell the most tea. Why is there less and less tea?"

    Shopkeeper Hu said: "I heard from my clerk that the price of Mr. Miyamoto's tea is much higher than ours, especially the loose teas below Grade B. Tea farmers sell more to him."

    Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "Mr. Miyamoto wanted to join forces with me to lower the price before, but now he thought it would be profitable, so he actually raised the price himself."

    Shopkeeper Hu asked: "Then what should we do?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "We shipped it directly to the Kingdom of Jin. We have already collected the money before delivering the goods. We are worried about where he will come from. How tall he is, we will do the same."

    Shopkeeper Hu immediately asked the guys to notify them and raised the price of loose tea. Who knew that on the third day, shopkeeper Hu walked into the stone again and said, "Miyamoto has raised the price of tea again."

    Fang Jinshi asked people to raise the price accordingly. As soon as he raised the price, Miyamoto Shizang's tea house raised the price again. After doing this twice, the price of B-grade tea, which originally cost fifteen or six cents per catty, has reached thirty cents.

    Fang Jinshi couldn't hold himself back any longer, so he sent someone to visit King Xiu's Mansion. King Xiu's fleet sometimes shipped goods to Japan, and he knew the prices in the Japanese market. Fang Jinshi heard reports from people who came back that this Grade C loose tea was shipped to Japan.  When the price reached seventy or eighty cents per catty, I realized that even if Miyamoto Shizo received thirty cents per catty, he would still make money.

    "But Fang Jinshi can't add more. This is a bit too high for Sihai Tea House.

    Shopkeeper Hu said: "Why don't we stop adding more? If we continue like this, we will lose money."

    Fang Jinshi said: "If we don't increase the price at this time, we won't be able to receive the goods. We must increase the price accordingly. Please help me pay more attention and slowly push the price of tea to forty-five cents."

    Shopkeeper Hu was shocked and said: "How can we afford such a high price?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "We can't afford it, and Miyamoto Shizang can't afford it. If it goes higher, it will be completely unprofitable for him, so he won't follow."

    Shopkeeper Hu said: "Then why do we still push up the price of tea?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "You just do what I say. When you are bargaining with Miyamoto Shizang, tell the guy that we have a price but no market."?Don't make it too obvious.  "

    Shopkeeper Hu Daqi: "What is price but no market?"

    Fang Jinshi wanted to explain it to him, but thought it was too much trouble, so he casually said, "We quoted the price but didn't accept the goods."

    Shopkeeper Hu still didn¡¯t understand, and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve quoted the price and haven¡¯t received the goods, it¡¯s always not good.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "Guys won't refer to Grade B as Grade C, and Grade A as Grade B. Most of the tea farmers won't want to, so they won't sell it to us."

    Shopkeeper Hu said: "Since the price increase is fake and we won't accept tea, why are you here?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I have a clever plan. I'll see how Miyamoto Shizo will cry when he accepts the tea at such a high price."
