In Chang'an City, when the sun rises in the morning, the city gates open wide to welcome a new day. People entering and leaving, tourists and merchants pay taxes and enter the city one by one. In the past, the Qin family's cash bank has not been opened, leaving Hu who has no way to exchange the currency in circulation in Chang'an. The merchants and tourists were anxious, but there was nothing they could do if they didn't open the door. They knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. what happened? Tourists and businessmen with bewildered faces gathered at Qin's house to cash in the bank. Even if they asked the people who were leaving the city, they couldn't answer any questions. They didn't see any big movements in Qin's house. They said that they might open the door late to avoid people. They were busy working to make a living, leaving tourists and businessmen waiting in a hurry, unable to enter the city gate without cashing in the circulating currency. Not only did something like this happen outside the city, but many of the Qin family¡¯s shops in the city have also not opened. This made the gossipy people begin to pay attention to the Qin family. The gossip spread throughout the streets and alleys in an instant, and the Qin family was in crisis! No one knew what the crisis was, and the source of the news was unknown. It spread throughout Chang'an in less than half an hour. What surprised the people was that the closed gate of the Qin family compound had not been opened since yesterday. Except for the servants standing guard, the rest were silent and relic-like. Even the reconstruction engineering team did not start work. They were suspicious for a moment. The voices and discussions became more and more whimsical, and words about bankruptcy and leaving Chang'an disappeared and spread. The shops of the Qin family's slaves and cooperative shops seemed to have made an appointment. They all closed their doors and stopped doing business. Chang'an City suddenly became lifeless in the early morning. The streets that used to be crowded with people became sparse, and most of the people They all went to other places to inquire about the news, but what they learned was the same news. Early in the morning, a hollow phenomenon suddenly appeared in Chang'an. Rice shops were closed and most people had no rice to cook with. The cloth shops were closed and the people buying clothes were nowhere to be found. The iron shop is closed and daily necessities such as pots and pans are nowhere to be repaired. As soon as this phenomenon emerged, Chang'an's economy plummeted to an alarming level, and those Hu merchants were even more anxious because they could not enter the city. At this moment, the people realized a very serious matter. Qin Shou and Chang'an had changed. The powerful monopoly methods once again appeared in front of the people, making the people realize that without Qin Shou, Chang'an's economy was gradually declining. With the decline, the most basic food, accommodation and transportation have been penetrated by Qin Shou. "You bastard, damn it!!" In the East Palace. When Prince Li Chengqian saw the news of the memorial, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. All major shops in the city closed their doors in protest, which was obviously aimed at him. All of this was premeditated and targeted behavior. Li Chengqian had a gloomy expression on his face. All of this was Qin Shou is inseparable from the mischief. Hou Junji and Du He stood aside and did not dare to take a breath. What happened in Chang'an City was really sudden, too sudden. All the merchants in the city closed their doors overnight. As a result, the people complained loudly. They had no food or drink, and even the vendors selling vegetables and meat stopped business. Things have gotten out of hand. The latest grievances have begun to oppose Li Chengqian's acting in power. Boss Li intends to cultivate Li Chengqian and deliberately uses the excuse to cultivate himself. Who would have thought that something like this would happen just a few days before Li Chengqian could sit firmly. I believe it won't take long for Boss Li to receive the news, and Li Chengqian will be in trouble by then. Don't even think about getting involved in the throne, the people are protesting! Hou Junji walked under Li Chengqian's limping annoyance, and pondered for a long time that the cause of the matter was inseparable from the trouble caused by that guy Qin Shou, so he raised his hands and boldly guessed the situation and said: "Your Highness, it is obvious that this is That guy named Qin is causing trouble, deliberately causing trouble to frame you, the Crown Prince, in order to prevent His Highness from taking power!" After Du He finished speaking to Hou Junji, he immediately stood up and reported truthfully: "Your Highness, it was learned that the Qin Mansion sent out manpower yesterday! Walking around the major shops in the city, it seems that they are setting up a market today to protest against Your Highness the Crown Prince taking over the power on his behalf. Du learned that the King of Wu has been walking closely with the guy named Qin recently. I am afraid" "Damn it! This shameless person! , Why do you have trouble with the lonely king? King Wu, why should he fight with the lonely king!" Li Chengqian roared loudly, kicking the objects that were in the way of his temper. Qin Shou's move caught Li Chengqian by surprise. At this moment, I deeply realized one thing, Qin Shou's energy cannot be ignored! Seeing Li Chengqian getting angry, Hou Junji couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, trying to comfort Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness, it is useless to lose your temper now. The most important thing now is to calm the people's complaints. Before the emperor comes to settle accounts, The right thing to do is to settle this matter!" "In your opinion, why don't you let the old ministers and thieves who are watching the show laugh at the lonely king's incompetence if this matter is spread? Asking Hou Junji in return, Li Chengqian, who became increasingly irritated as he spoke, couldn't hold back his resentment. He almost tried his best to express his inner anger with his last words. Hou Junji had nothing to say, and stepped aside under Li Chengqian's angry roar. What needed to be said had been said. There was nothing Li Chengqian could do if he refused to listen to Hou Junji's advice. Qin Shou's move made it clearWhen bullied by others, Li Chengqian's arrogant and withdrawn temper made him suffer in the end. Hou Junji was in a state of confusion at this moment, and he didn't know if the path he was taking was the right one. "The lonely king doesn't believe it. How many days can the man named Qin last? Want to fight with the lonely king? Huh~ wait and see!" After Li Chengqian calmed down his anger, he sat down directly and put down his cruel temper while Du He poured wine to relieve his anger. Let¡¯s see who can¡¯t hold on in the end? After all, this matter can't be suppressed. Boss Li will definitely find out Qin Shou's behind-the-scenes planning. Who will suffer the consequences then? ¡®Alas, the prince is still too young! What should I do? 'Hou Junji witnessed Li Chengqian's fighting spirit, and he inevitably had sad thoughts in his heart, and lamented for his future. Hou Junji ignored Qin Shou's ability, ignored his monopoly methods, and even ignored his influence and influence. Appeal. "What the hell is going on?" In the Ganlu Hall of the palace, Boss Li was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard about the changes in the city. He slapped the table and roared with anger that made Eunuch Xue Gao Qinqin on the side tremble. The emperor's anger It wasn't that easy to bear. Even if it wasn't directed at him, Xue Gao felt inexplicably afraid. Commander Mao knelt on his knees and did not dare to raise his head. Boss Li Long Yan was furious. As for the origin of his anger, it all stemmed from Chang'an's economy. Major shops had closed their doors. People have no way to buy it for daily consumption. The chaos in people's livelihood is a very serious problem. If it is not handled properly, it will cause serious consequences. Mr. Li, who is getting thinner and older, looks particularly frightened at this moment. His pale face is almost bone-shattering, and his eyes are bloodshot, which shows that he has not slept for a long time. The anxious Mr. Li is walking back and forth, feeling extremely restless. It is obvious that this happened. It was so sudden that Boss Li was caught off guard. "Commander Mao, have you found out what's going on?" Boss Li knew that anger would not help. The most important thing at the moment is to appease the people. The prince's rule was deliberately cultivated by Boss Li, and Boss Li has even prepared the final decree. He is just afraid that one day he will suddenly be unable to bear it and pass away. It is common for things to be unpredictable in the world. Ever since he was greedy for the elixir of immortality, Boss Li has become more and more aware that he is getting worse day by day. He hopes to see Li Chengqian successfully succeed him in his lifetime and get rid of the situation of fighting for power and killing each other, but it is a pity that the flowers will not bloom. , unintentionally planted willows in a shady place. King Li Tai of Wei began to be active again, and he knew it even though he didn't express it. "Your Majesty, we are investigating!" Commander Mao didn't talk nonsense. Reporting truthfully to find out the truth of the matter, in fact, you can roughly know it without investigating. However, without evidence, Commander Mao did not dare to make a hasty conclusion. He believed that Boss Li also knew who was behind the scenes, but he could not do anything without evidence. Boss Li waved his hand tiredly, and Commander Mao stood up and left after his order, leaving Xue Gao, who was waiting for Boss Li alone, standing alone, not daring to take a breath from the beginning to the end, for fear that his slight movements would disturb Boss Li and provoke him. To avoid unnecessary trouble, as the saying goes, a person who has a way to accompany you is like a tiger. "Xue Gao, do you think this is an unpardonable crime for the Minister of Industry?" Mr. Li's sudden words made the cautious Xue Gao tremble. He didn't understand what Mr. Li meant by this. Is this related to Qin Shou, the minister of the Ministry of Industry? Xue Gao was at a loss and didn't know how to answer. He hesitated here and there. "Hmph~ This guy has evil intentions, he is really" Boss Li suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and his voice of resentment and anger filled with murderous intent suddenly stopped. When Xue Gao raised his head, he saw Boss Li's expression was back to normal, as if something had happened. It was as if it had never happened before. The ups and downs were so dramatic that it was hard to fathom. Xue Gao lowered his head in confusion and thought about one thing, the emperor is old! In the Palace of the Duke of Wei, Yuchi Jingde sat anxiously and impetuously. He could see clearly what was happening outside. He came here to find the old handsome Li Jing for this reason. That guy Qin Shou closed the door to no guests. It was really abominable, and the old handsome Guo Li Jing brushed his beard with one hand and read the military book leisurely and contentedly. "Hey, hey, old handsome guy, stop pretending. No matter how much you pretend, you can't be Yuexia Guanong. What happens outside, don't you care and worry about it for a while?" Yuchi Jingde saw the leisurely and contented look of old handsome guy Li Jing. , angrily interrupted the nerdy appearance of the old handsome man Li Jing, what I hate most is the calm and calm attitude of the civil servant. "Everything is settled, why bother yourself? Why worry about yourself? Brother Jingde, feel at ease!" Li Jing, the old handsome man, put down the book in his hand, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Yuchi Jingde spoke in black-faced and elegant words. If you don't speak in formal words, you will die. ? Yuchi Jingde was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes and walked away. Wasn't he running away in vain? "Peace of mind? Jingde, I can feel at ease, but can you, Lao Shuaiguo, have peace of mind? Okay, okay, stop pretending in front of Jingde, you will die if you don't?" Yuchi Jingde gave Lao Shuaiguo Li Jing a direct expression Face was defeated, and he angrily revealed that he was telling lies that he did not mean sincerely. Only those who believed in his words would be full of lies! After hearing what Yuchi Jingde said, the old handsome man Li Jing was convinced.He drank the warm tea and said in a calm tone: "Brother Jingde, drink tea. This wise nephew has his own sense of discretion in this matter. As for which one he wants to do, it is unknown. Instead of wasting energy on random thoughts, it is better to Wouldn't it be better to just wait and see what happens? "" Bullshit, just talk nonsense! Jingde has no time to waste time with you, Jingde will leave first and go to find out the news from his nephew!" Yuchi Jingde opened his eyes with disdain for the old handsome man Li Jing. Telling lies, it would be strange if he could be calm. I believe his wife would not let him be so comfortable. Yuchi Jingde, who could not talk about it, simply said goodbye and left. "Oh, my dear nephew! What on earth do you want to do?" After the old handsome man Li Jing waited for Yuchi Jingde to leave, he rubbed his forehead with a headache. I have to say that Qin Shou made such a big noise, it was really disappointing. People had endless headaches, at least Li Jing was the first to have one. Just as Yuchi Jingde thought, Hong Funu had already gone to the Qin family compound. In the VIP reception hall of the Qin Mansion Courtyard, more than a dozen key personnel of the Qin family gathered together. Yuan Shengun sat aside with a worried face. Blacksmith Wang and Blacksmith Duan fainted and fell asleep. Cai Jie dug out the mud under his fingernails in boredom. The rest of the people were talking quietly among themselves, wondering why Qin Shou summoned them and ordered the work to be stopped for a few days. "Hey, Brother Yuan, what's going on?" "That's right, Brother Yuan, stop pretending and tell me!" "You'll know at a glance. Brother Yuan is betraying you again!" Shanqing, Shanren, Shanlian People are surrounding Yuan Shengun, but the old god Yuan Shengun is meditating with his eyes closed, which is really irritating. What situation outside can still make him feel at ease? "Alas, at the beginning of the chaos, blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable! Taoist brothers, calm down, calm down!" After Yuan Shengun opened his eyes, his words were full of carelessness. Be kind and honest. Shan Lian and the other three protested with their eyes rolled, what kind of nonsense is this? What started the trouble? Basically, Qin Shou was playing tricks behind the scenes. The discussion in the hall immediately disappeared when Qin Shou arrived late. He watched Qin Shou walking out with Su Ye intently. He originally thought that Qin Shou had something to say, but he didn't know that Qin Shou seemed to be going through the motions and passed by without stopping for a moment. When he walked out, the important personnel in the hall were confused. What was going on with Qin Shou? "Hush, be quiet. It's all in vain for you to ask this poor man. Just be quiet and wait for the news!" Yuan Shengun made a silent gesture when Shanqing, Shanren, and Shanlian looked at each other. Why are they afraid of this? Yuan Shengun simply closed his eyes and paid no attention to the entanglement of the three curious guys. In the guest side room, Qin Shou sat down and opened an unopened bottle of beer. As for the people outside, Qin Shou was not in a hurry to talk about things. Now that Su Ye has arrived, Qin Shou wants to have a good talk with him about the next thing, and Su Ye He didn't hesitate to sit aside, and when Qin Shou was pouring wine, he also stepped forward to ask for a glass. "How's it going? Have you found out the identity of the emperor's favored maid? What's her origin?" Qin Shou filled a glass of wine for Su Ye angrily, and while Su Ye was shamelessly sipping the wine, he asked him about the investigation news? The origin of the maid that Mr. Li favors is unknown. This is what Qin Shou cares about the most. There must be a ghost behind everything. Su Ye took the cup and took a big sip, then smacked his tongue and said, "Tsk, tsk~ It feels so good, uh well, all Su can say is, I can't find out, eh don't stare, it's the truth. If you can't find out, you can't find out. Only her birthplace is found in Bingzhou, and nothing else is found! " "Isn't it possible?" Qin Shou was surprised and surprised when he heard Su Ye's words. Even Su Ye couldn't find out. , then isn¡¯t this mysterious palace maid a more troublesome existence? An assassin or something? Qin Shou couldn't imagine anymore and began to worry about Boss Li. Of course, Qin Shou is not concerned about Boss Li, but is concerned that his layout has not yet begun. If Boss Li has an accident before he has laid out the plan, the only one who will be cheaper is Li Chengqian. This is not the result Qin Shou wants. The guy was so unsatisfied that he actually ran out of the palace and lived in Prince Li Ke's palace. The fact that Boss Li took the metal elixir to dig his own grave more quickly was beyond Qin Shou's expectation. At this moment, Qin Shou felt unable to control the situation. Logically speaking, this was a good thing, but a good thing could be too much. It was not set up properly, and the trajectory deviation was too great. Qin Shou had no chance to take advantage of it. Now he had to rely on luck and his own efforts, just like crossing the river by feeling for stones. Su Ye put down the wine glass in his hand, smacked the foam from his mouth and said: "There is nothing impossible. Su only found some clues, that is, the identity of the palace maid was false. Hou Wanli was seventeen years old and unmarried. The eldest daughter of a wealthy family in Bingzhou was attacked by an unknown enemy a few days ago and was lucky enough to escape. The point is, what a coincidence! " "What do you mean?" Qin Shou heard this and said. If you don¡¯t believe it yourself, then the only way to explain it is through the trick of swapping the package. If this is the case, then you will be in big trouble. The other party is in the palace and is a celebrity favored by Boss Li, so you can¡¯t do anything about it. ! Su YeyiWiping his chin with his hand, he nodded under Qin Shou's confused gaze and said, "Well, you can put it that way! Brother Qin, you also know that in some places, ladies rarely leave the compound, unlike those in Chang'an who rarely leave the courtyard. Being constrained by this aspect, Su is afraid that there is a high possibility of a betrayal here! " " Let's find out more about this matter! Now that the situation is out of control, we can only take one step at a time. I am afraid that this is the prince's conspiracy, which will be troublesome. It seems that you have underestimated this prince!" Qin Shou sighed, holding his chin with one hand with a sad look on his face, feeling quite restless. ¡®It seems that this matter needs to be discussed with Wu Meiniang. With her quick wit, there should be a way to break the situation! ' Thinking that Wu Meiniang was on his side, Qin Shou breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time became entangled. Without the process of palace fighting, Wu Meiniang doesn't know whether she can inspire sophisticated wisdom? "That's all we can do. Su is going into the palace to explore in the evening. The palace has been heavily guarded recently, so it's a bit difficult to enter. By the way, Brother Qin, I almost forgot something. Look!" Su Ye reluctantly agreed, When he thought of something, Su Ye took out a letter and handed it directly to Qin Shou. "Whose?" Qin Shou looked at Su Ye with a confused look on his face, but Su Ye shook his head and said nothing. He just sighed. Judging from his appearance, he must have read the letter. Qin Shou opened the opened letter with a trace of curiosity. When he opened the nameless letter and looked at it, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he didn't even notice that the letter in his hand fell to the ground. (To be continued)
