Chapter 756::Chicken

"The Prince of Jin's Mansion?" Zheng Fu was stunned and then understood, looked at Zheng Ke and smiled, saying, "I understand. Leave this matter to me. Even if the business is not turned around, I have to raise the money."

The three of them talked for a while, and Li Bangyan said worriedly: "The food stored in the stock is not sold now. These foods are purchased three times or four times the market price. If the court allocates the food in a few months, the loss will be more than one million. I can block it again at the Ministry of Revenue, but after a while, I am afraid that the grain will be allocated. Does Mr. Zheng have any solutions?"

Originally, Li Bangyan thought that he wanted to help Duke Qi make a fortune together. Anyway, the treasury was the loss. Duke Qi would definitely benefit him as long as he nodded. Therefore, the merchants in Huaizhou bought grain from the surrounding road governments, and they all bought it at high prices, so they were counting on doing a profitable business at a time.

On the other hand, when Duke Qi made a fortune, King Pingxi was a real fool. Could it be that he could go to the Dragon King Temple to settle the score with Duke Qi? Li Bangyan's move was indeed vicious, but he never expected Duke Qi to be unwilling to join in the crowd, and the matter was so uncontrollable.

Now that Shen Ao has started to take action, Zheng Mansion has also had a solution, but the grain that has been hoarded for a lot of money cannot be piled up in the treasury and it will be moldy. Moreover, the profitability of this business is too great, so it would be a pity not to continue doing it.

Zheng Ke slowly drank a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said, "Of course this food must be sold. The longer the time is delayed, the more good it will be for us. Although the court has allowed the border troops to even out some food, it will only last for a month at most. As long as Taiyuan lacks food, there is no fear that someone will not submit." He smiled coldly and continued, "This business must be done. Isn't Shen Ao going to Taiyuan too? It's great, let him go and let him see that the victims have no food to eat. People either starve to death or they are anxious to jump over the wall. Starving to death is a crime. If the dog is anxious to jump over the wall and stir up trouble again, Shen Ao even if he is protected by God, he can't afford to take care of him."

Li Bangyan thought to himself, if the emperor did not take out the food, even if the emperor went to Taiyuan, he would be helpless. No matter whether he was Shen Ao to investigate thoroughly or do something, as long as he was in Taiyuan for one day, someone starved to death or stirred up civil unrest, he would be in trouble. If he wanted to go, let him go.

Zheng Ke said: "But wait until the money is ready, you should go to Taiyuan. Shen Ao is not easy to deal with. Let's go to the merchants to make a statement first, so that they don't talk nonsense, so that people won't catch the handle."

Zheng Fu laughed and said, "It's all grasshoppers on the same boat. As long as the brother and Lord Li are willing to make decisions for them, who dares to say anything?"

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Bangyan felt a little scheming when he heard Zheng Ke's arrangements, so he got up and said goodbye.

Zheng Ke said: "Why don't you wait until you eat the fish soup before leaving?"

Li Bangyan smiled bitterly and said, "There are still many things that have not been clarified in the province. Besides, I have been staying here for too long, so there will inevitably be some gossip. Mr. Zheng and Mr. Li said goodbye."

Zheng Ke was so arrogant that he sent him to the ferry with a smile, and reminded him: "Do your orders well. I have my own opinions on the irrelevant things. As long as the palace is stable, what are you afraid of?"

Li Bangyanhe nodded and said, "Donald Zheng doesn't have to send him off again."

After boarding the boat, Li Bangyan finally let go of his heart. He actually had an indescribable fear of Chen Ao. Chen Ao is really a killing star in the officialdom. I don’t know how many people fell into Shen Ao’s hands. He thought he was more capable than Wang Fu, but he was a little worse than Cai Jing. However, Zheng Ke’s words today made him calm down.

Chen Ao is not a god, he also has weaknesses, and his greatest reliance is just the holy family. Li Bangyan thought to himself: So what about holy family? As long as he grasps his seven inches, he will still be unable to take advantage of it.

Even though he thought so, Li Bangyan still felt a little relieved, and thought to himself, what would Chen Ao do at this time? Now the focus of the competition between the two sides is the empress dowager. Chen Ao has always known how to please people, and I don’t know what to do next?

However... the amount of one million coins is probably enough to prevent the Empress Dowager from going to Chen Ao. This... is enough.

When the flower boat returned to the shore, Li Bangyan, who had gotten off the sampan, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As well as the royal relatives and the prime minister of the dynasty, who can stand up to them as long as the empress dowager doesn't do anything?

The weather gradually became cooler. Autumn went and winter came, and the long street was filled with fallen leaves. However, this Bianjing was never desolate and desolate, and the flow of people was still woven. Even at night, the north wind blew by, and the lights of thousands of houses lit up, illuminating the dim night sky.

A large cart stopped steadily at Duke Qi's mansion, followed by a few merchandise. Chen Ao walked in front. Liu Wen called a few servants at the doorman and came out with a lantern to greet him. Liu Wen smiled and said, "Prince..."

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "I brought my family with my bedding and I have been here to have a meal. Has Zhou Heng returned?"

Liu Wen smiled embarrassedly and said, "The prince is joking." Then, "Young Master Heng has just returned and is about to go to the prince's mansion."

"Oh?" Chen Ao knew that Zhou Heng must have found something, so he turned to Zhou Ruo behind him and said, "You go to see your aunt first, I'll see that guy Zhou Heng." After that, he quickly went to Zhou Heng's residence.

Chen Ao was familiar with Zhou's mansion. In just a moment, he ran into Zhou Heng who was about to go out. When Zhou Heng saw him, he said in surprise: "Cousin, I'm going to look for you."

Chen Ao pulled him to a corner and asked, "Have you found out what I have given you?"

Zhou Heng said seriously: "I have inquired. There are not many sons and nephews of the Zheng Mansion in Bianjing, and there are only three or four, two of them are not young, and they are taking care of the business of dozens of warehouses and shops in Bianjing. Another one is now working in the Ministry of Works. There is one named Zheng Shuang..."

Chen Ao was not interested in the others, but because he heard Zhou Heng’s implication, Zheng Shuang was a little famous and couldn’t help asking: “You continue talking.”

Zhou Heng said seriously: "Zheng Shuang is a slutty boy. She always hangs out with some friends. It is said that he is the son of the second master of the Zheng family. He feels most distressed, but he uses the most luxurious carriages and horses when he goes in and out, rushes forward and backward, spends money like soil, and is also one of the best yamen in Bianjing City."

Chen Ao narrowed his eyes and said, "Where is his favorite place?"

Zhou Heng said: "There is a Jueshengfang in the east of the city, which is the place for fighting cocks. Zheng Shuang's best thing is fighting cocks. It is said that the money he spent on fighting cocks alone has been at least 200,000 yuan in the past few years. Once, he spent 50,000 yuan to compete for a chicken with others."

Chen Ao couldn't help but smack her tongue. It was just for a chicken. With this money, Chen Ao even bought a running script by Yan Zhenqing. He couldn't help but feel that Yan Zhenqing was worthless. After spending decades, the calligraphy he wrote was even worse than a chicken. It was sad, sad...

Chen Ao suddenly asked Zhou Heng: "Can you fight a cock?"

Zhou Heng scratched his head and said, "I used to be a little bit, but now I won't go."

Chen Ao said: "Then you go and help me find the best cockfighting in Bianjing."

Zhou Heng widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Where should I find it?"

Chen Ao was also in trouble: "Do you want to save your father?"

Zhou Heng nodded weakly and said, "Of course I need to save it."

Chen Ao said: "To save your father, you must first find a chicken. If you can't find the chicken, your father will be ruined."

Zhou Heng looked at Chen Ao suspiciously: "Take it serious?"

Chen Aozhong's key point: "Take it seriously!"

Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and said, "I know that the Wuqu Hou family has a cockfighting cock and is one of the best in Bianjing City. However, the Wuqu Hou is the most treasured person to it, but he has never been willing to show it to others easily."

Chen Ao said: "What do you mean to buy it from him?"

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "The Marquis of Wu Qu is the most treasure. But even if you pay 100,000 yuan, he may not be able to sell it."

Chen Ao Yin said in a silence: "I don't believe it. I will take action, but Wu Qu Hou refused to sell this face."

Zhou Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you are the emperor, he will not take it out. This Marquis of Wu Qu..." Zhou Heng pointed to his forehead and said, "I'm a fool, and there are only chickens in his eyes."

When Chen Ao heard the word "无" and his face suddenly fell down. He hesitated for a moment and was not threatened and tempted. This matter was difficult to do. The most feared thing was that when he encountered a lazy person, he would be as if he had hit Chen Ao. When others hit Chen Ao, it would be like hitting a wall of iron. Most of the Marquis of Wuqu were the same.

Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and said, "I have an idea."

Chen Ao said: "You said."

Zhou Heng said in a silence: "Tonight, the wind is dark and the wind is high. Why don't we take a few people to cover the face and grab the chicken."

"Grab..." Chen Ao couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhou Heng said coldly: "In order to save my father, I am willing to go and kill someone. What is the point of robbing a chicken? Didn't my cousin say that scholars are not called to rob a chicken."

Chen Ao thought to himself, "Godly prince, I'll go grab a chicken, it's okay if I didn't catch it, but if I was caught, would it be fine?" But...

He hesitated for a moment, not because he had any moral debt to such things, but because he felt that his artistic thief had used robbery such as robbery without technical content. If his colleagues in later generations knew about it, he would probably have laughed out loud.

But he has long been unfamiliar with his skills in stealing chickens and dogs over the years. He is worse than stealing it by robbing it.

But robbery... Chen Ao can't do it.

Chen Ao looked at Zhou Heng, but Zhou Heng was full of confidence and as if he was full of experience, he patted his chest and said, "At most, thirty people were called, and the guys were searched together, and in order to cover up their eyes and ears, they could hand over the money and go to the chicken coop to get the chickens. It would be said that he was holding the sheep to roast chickens and sacrificing tooth sacrifice. Who would have suspected us?"

Chen Ao held Zhou Heng's hand tightly, and finally realized that this cousin was of some use. He said in a deep tone: "It depends on you."
