Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 175

Li Er looked at the dishes on the table and searched carefully with chopsticks. After searching for a long time, he didn't even find a shred of pork.

He raised his head, looked suspiciously at Empress Changsun, and said, "Guanyin maidservant, I know you have always been frugal, but now the internal treasury is getting more and more money every day, and there is no shortage of money at all. Why are you so frugal..."

Li Er felt a little distressed.

Empress Changsun followed him when she was a teenager, and suffered a lot during the war-torn era.

Even as a queen, at the beginning, life was very difficult.

Therefore, when Li Er and Chen Chu partnered in business and made a lot of money, Li Er ordered that Empress Changsun spend as much as she wanted.

Even so, Empress Changsun remained frugal.

This moved Li Er very much.

Let's just say that the table is full of dishes, and there is not even a piece of meat.

Li Er stared at Empress Changsun, sized her up and down, and said, "Guanyin servant girl, you've lost weight again..."

Empress Changsun said in astonishment: "Second brother, why did you say that? The concubine also wants the imperial chefs to make a meal for second brother. If it's freezing today, if you can eat some mutton, it will be very warm, but... The imperial cook just came to report that there is no more sheep in Chang'an City, not even marinated mutton, no other chicken, duck and fish at all..."

Li Er was dumbfounded at once.

He asked in surprise: "Guanyin maidservant, what do you mean, there is no meat for sale in this huge Chang'an?"

Empress Changsun nodded.

Li Er was taken aback.

The mood is very restless.

He is the emperor, and no one came to tell him such a big thing happened.

Li Er hurriedly beckoned Gao Chen to come over, and said, "Gao Chen, go and find out what happened right away."

Gao Chen nodded and hurried away.

Not long after, Gao Chen came back and said, "Your Majesty, I have found out that all the meat in Chang'an City was bought by Chen Chu, and it was sold out at a high price. Now, many people want to eat meat." It's all gone..."

The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched.

If someone else did this, he definitely wouldn't believe it.

Because no one would be willing to spend so much money to buy meat at a high price.

But he believed Chen Chu's words.

Because Chen Chu is very rich.

Moreover, Chen Chu's work has always been unpredictable.

Beside, Empress Changsun said in surprise: "Is Chen Chu sick? How could he do such a foolish thing? He can buy out the meat of Chang'an City, but can he buy out the meat of Datang? As long as the merchants go around Chang'an City , in just a few days, he can buy back a large amount of meat, and when the time comes, wouldn't the meat he bought be useless?"

Li Er also nodded.

Empress Changsun was about to send someone to remind Chen Chu, but was stopped by Li Er.

Li Er snorted and said, "That kid has always been proud of his talents, and no one pays attention to him. It's good to let him taste the taste of failure this time..."

Empress Changsun was a little worried: "But, this will cost him a lot of money."

Sure enough, she is the mother-in-law, and she still cares about her son-in-law.

However, Li Er said sourly: "A mere 10,000+ points is nothing to Chen Chu..."

Think about him, Li Er, even though he is an emperor, he has countless fortunes in the internal treasury, but he has the entire palace to spend, many concubines, many children, and the clan to support, a rich man like Changsun Wuji , there is also a family to support, but Chen Chu is alone, but has countless money, which makes people enviable.

……

Duke Lu's Mansion.

boom.

"Ouch……"

Cheng Chubi screamed and started running around a table.

Cheng Yaojin chased after him and shouted: "You son of a bitch, I must kill you today..."

Cheng Chubi shouted: "Father, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Cheng Yaojin took three steps at a time, picked up Cheng Chubi, and shouted: "Is it okay if you are wrong? Do you know that your uncle will lose tens of thousands of pennies just because of your mess?" , you bastard, I will kill you, and I will explain to your uncle..."

……

Chapter 200 The Arrogant Cheng Family

Bang bang bang.

"what……"

"Ah..."

Cheng Chubi's screams spread throughout Duke Lu's mansion.

He was beaten, not wronged at all.

Cheng Yaojin had no meat to eat for several days, so he went to inquire and found out the truth. It turned out that everyone thought that Chen Chu had bought out Chang'an City. Who knew that Chen Chu didn't know that the instigator turned out to be his own son Cheng Chubi. .

Cheng Yaojin couldn't suppress his anger at that time.

Then happened the tragedy in the main hall.

After a long time, Cheng Chubi was on the verge of dying, and the old Cheng was beaten so badly that his hands hurt.

When the child grows up, it is difficult to fight.

Cheng Chubi lay on the ground like a dead dog, turned around and said, "Father, I was wrong..."

Lao Cheng raised his fist and was about to rush forward again, but saw a figure walking in the door suddenly.

In the past, when Lao Cheng beat the children, the servants in the mansion would hide away and dare not show their faces.

Now that someone dared to come in, Lao Cheng said angrily, "What are you looking at, I've never seen a child beating a child in snow..."

The person who walked in smiled slightly and said, "Fourth Brother, I saw someone beating a child, but I've never seen someone beating him so hard."

Ok?

When Cheng Yaojin and his son looked up, they saw Chen Chuzheng standing behind the threshold with a smile on his face.

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly stopped and asked, "Fifth brother, do you know everything?"

Chen Chu nodded: "I know everything."

Cheng Yaojin's complexion sank, "If that's the case, then I'll kill this bastard first, and then we'll talk about the matter of apology. Wait a moment...someone, bring the old man's axe, the old man is going to chop this bastard up!" !"

Cheng Chubi's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.

However, Chen Chu looked curious and asked, "Fourth Brother, why do you treat Chu Bi like this?"

Cheng Yaojin took a sip, kicked Cheng Chubi who was on the ground, and said, "You bastard, how dare you buy up all the meat in Chang'an City under your banner. Now, I heard that all the merchants in Chang'an City are in full swing." Going out to buy meat from other places, and it will be shipped to Chang'an for sale. The meat that this bastard bought at a high price will probably be worthless, fifth brother, I'm afraid it will cost you at least [-] yuan. Don't worry, I will pay you this money..."

Lose money?

Chen Chu laughed dumbfounded.

Lao Cheng is a straightforward person with a sense of loyalty.

[-] guan, if you say you will pay, you will pay, without blinking your eyes.

After hearing this, Chen Chu found it very funny.

Seeing that he hadn't brought his ax for a long time, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but started to beat Cheng Chubi again.

Chen Chu grabbed Cheng Yaojin, and said, "Fourth Brother, you misunderstood, Chu Bi is not only innocent, but a meritorious minister..."

"What? Merit? He has a fart. He squandered all your money!" Cheng Yaojin looked puzzled and indignant.

Chen Chu said, "Fourth brother, do you think I will lose money?"

"Is the lice on the donkey's head obvious? Now most of the merchants in Chang'an City have left the city. These profit-seeking merchants will return with a lot of meat in two days. By then, Chang'an City will be free If there is a shortage of meat, the price of meat will naturally drop, and at that time, if you take those people out, no one will care about them, and you can only sell them at a low price, won't you lose money?" Cheng Yaojin suddenly became more thoughtful, He began to analyze the reasons for Chen Chu.

Chen Chu waved his hands hastily, and said, "Fourth brother, you are wrong, if you give them another ten days, the meat probably won't come!"

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback, and asked: "Fifth brother, don't you try to protect this bastard, and tell lies with your eyes open. The merchants will do everything in order to make money. Why can't the mere meat be shipped back?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't believe it.

Cheng Chubi, who worked under the banner of Chen Chu, didn't believe it either.

Chen Chu pointed to the outside, and said, "Look, fourth brother, it is still snowing heavily. It has been snowing for three days. The inside of Chang'an City is fine. People from Wuhou Shop are cleaning it up, but outside the city The snow has already passed my waist. The most important thing is that I can feel that the temperature is dropping significantly. Maybe after today, a layer of ice will form on the snow. At that time, you still think there will be a lot of people Can the meat be transported to Chang'an?"

Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chubi were suddenly dumbfounded.

People including Cheng Yaojin used common sense to infer before.

However, everyone has overlooked one point, that is the weather.

The weather this year is very weird.

After the Chinese New Year, it was still snowing heavily and extremely cold.

In this way, the outside of Chang'an City must be covered with snow, and the road is blocked by heavy snow.

Those merchants were afraid that they would be unable to move when they walked halfway. Even if they went to other places to buy meat, they would not be able to transport it back in a short time.

Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips, looked at Chen Chu in disbelief, and asked, "So, Chu Bi, a bastard, did another good thing?"

Chen Chu nodded: "That's right, he did a good deed."

Cheng Chubi stood up abruptly, grinned and said, "Father, look, I was right, you beat me like this."

Cheng Yaojin slammed his foot and kicked him to the ground again.

Then he cursed: "You son of a bitch, it's against you. I didn't hit you wrong. You didn't understand what your uncle meant. If I were you, I would have bought out the entire Jingzhao Mansion. How could it be just Chang'an City... ..."

Cheng Chubi: "..."

Chen Chu: "..."

The old Cheng's family style is really unique.

Gee!

Impressive!

Chen Chu hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, it's too late to talk about this now, let's discuss how to distribute dividends?"

"Well, that makes sense."

When Cheng Yaojin heard that he could make money, he stopped beating Cheng Chubi.

He invited Chen Chu to sit down and served good tea.

Chen Chu said straight to the point: "Fourth brother, I plan to divide the cost [-]-[-], what do you think?"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand hastily: "No, you paid for the money. My old Cheng followed you, so how can I split it fifty-fifty? How about this, ten-nine percent, one for me, nine for you, so it's settled."

Chen Chu wanted to say something else, but Cheng Yaojin's attitude was very firm.

From Cheng Yaojin's point of view, even if no meat came in from Chang'an City, the meat in Chen Chu's hands would not sell for much.

Since he can't make much money, it's better to give Chen Chu all the money.

He didn't take this matter to heart.

Seeing that the sky was over, Cheng Yaojin ordered someone to serve a hot pot, and ate hot pot beef with Chen Chu.In such a cold day, some cows can't stand it and commit suicide.

While eating hot pot, Cheng Yaojin felt very cold, so he asked his servants to get two tin stoves, and after adding them together, he felt warmer.

At some point, the heavy snow outside stopped.

However, it was frighteningly cold.

The temperature plummeted again.

Cheng Chubi sneaked out while Chen Chu and Cheng Yaojin were drinking, came outside the city, summoned some of his guards, and ordered: "You guys, go to the entrances and exits of Chang'an City, tomorrow In the morning, as long as someone brings meat, I will buy it for him..."

A guard asked: "Master, what if those people don't want to?"

Cheng Chubi's face darkened: "Is there any businessman in Chang'an City who doesn't take my Cheng family seriously?"

Everyone is right when they think about it.
