"Long Wujun? Aren't they from Lin Luo? Why are we detaining our people?"
Shen Wansan thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason.
It was his father, Lin Chunqiu's arrangement, that he went to Luozhou with him. Why haven't you gone yet, and Long Wujun has come to look for trouble?
"Wherever he is, take me there immediately."
The butler lowered his head to accept the order and was about to speak when he caught sight of the cold saint from the corner of his eye. He immediately fell silent and looked at Shen Lao San.
"This is my biological sister, the mistress of this house. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide it."
The cold saintly lady frowned slightly, but did not speak.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Master, our people are being detained in the warehouse in Xifang."
"Follow me there immediately!"
…
Jingcheng, Xifang,
There is a lot of traffic and a lot of people.
A large number of carriages carrying goods are gathered here. It is completely an ancient version of the logistics center.
Shen Wansan has a huge warehouse in Xifang. Nearly two-thirds of his grain reserves are stored here.
As for the remaining one-third, it is stored in his various grain stores.
But at this moment, at the door of the warehouse, a group of well-equipped Longwu Army soldiers were holding long knives in their hands, sharpening them and pointing them at the clerk of Shen Ji Grain Store.
"You guys are just a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"
"Our commander thinks highly of you, so he allowed you to go with the army to Luozhou to do business. You are good, you have so much food and grass, but you don't know how to solve the commander's problems."
"I don't care. Either hand over half of the food and grass today, or call your master's family out. It's up to you!"
As soon as these words came out, the guys suddenly looked frightened. They were just helping others to make a living, but they didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
Captain Longwu's face suddenly darkened when he saw that no one was taking care of him. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw a fat man walking towards him with a sneer.
"Who do you belong to? How dare you come to my territory to cause trouble!"
"You know who I am. Even if your commander comes, you still have to talk to me."
The captain stared at the fat man, looking slightly startled. But soon, he guessed the identity of the other party, and his face became filled with unruly color again.
"Who am I talking about? You must be the owner of this warehouse, the cuckold king Shen Wansan, right?"
When Shen Wansan heard this, his face turned green. He does have some special hobbies, but he cares deeply about the title of "Cuckold King".
Anyone who knows him well knows that this title is taboo in front of him.
But he never expected that he would be shouted out in public by a Longwu military captain today.
"presumptuous!"
"If you have the guts to tell me your name, I will go find your commander immediately!"
"Keep the change, please!"
Lin Luo said coldly, striding forward from a distance.
"Shen Laosan, what do you mean by this? Are you not even willing to share some benefits with me, Commander-in-Chief?"
"If I take you merchants to Luozhou, you will earn dozens of times the profit. But I will only share 20 to 30% of it. Is this too much?"
When Shen Laosan heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He didn't speak immediately, but adjusted his breathing and squeezed out a smile to accompany it.
"Commander Lin is really joking. With your Longwu Army escorting merchants like us, our trip to Luozhou will definitely go smoothly."
"In this case, we should also express our gratitude to Long Wujun."
"Open the warehouse and put out grain!"
As soon as he said this, the butler's face turned green.
"Master, you must not do this! This is the family property you have accumulated for many years, how can you..."
"How outrageous, who has the final say in this family? What's more, for the people of Luozhou, what does it matter if you have a little family property?"
Shen Wansan scolded, then bowed his hands and smiled apologetically at Lin Luo:
"If Commander Lin doesn't mind it, I'm willing to use 30% of the proceeds to reward the officers and men of the Longwu Army."
Lin Luo nodded slightly and looked at Shen Wansan, his eyes softened again.
"Since Mr. Shen Dashan speaks like this, then this commander will be disrespectful."
"You bunch of bitches, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you go and release Shen Dashanren's guys!"
"It's fine. What's going on when you suddenly kidnap someone?"
Upon seeing this, the captain immediately led his brothers to untie the rope from the warehouse clerk, and then followed Lin Luo silently.
"Okay, since it's a misunderstanding, let's let this matter go. Shen Dashan, I'm going to Luozhou in the near future, so you can make preparations in advance."
…
Back at the house, Shen Laosan's face was particularly gloomy.
When Lin Chunqiu saw him, he only spoke softly. This Lin Luo is so arrogant, do you really think I am a soft persimmon?
Although in the Great Zhou Dynasty, among scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, merchants ranked last. But Shen Laosan is a wealthy businessman who can monopolize grain and grass in the capital. Even the prefect of the capital will call him "Shen Dashan" when he sees him.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he thought of the Yao Rui brother he met yesterday.
He rolled his eyes and thought about it.
"Steward, go to Yao Mansion in the west of the city immediately to find brother Yao Rui. Just tell me, Shen Wansan, that I want to meet the person behind him and discuss cooperation."
The housekeeper didn't ask any more questions, bowed and quickly left the house.
The cold saint looked on with cold eyes and said calmly:
"What, you plan to cooperate with the man in the palace?"
When Shen Laosan heard this, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Cooperation? Is there anything in the palace worthy of my cooperation?"
"But it would be a good idea to use that person to give Lin Luo a beating."
The cold saint nodded slightly, jumped lightly, and flew to the roof, out of Shen Laosan's sight.
Shen Laosan looked at her exquisite back, a hint of greed bursting out of his eyes.
The majestic Saint of the White Lotus Sect is indeed a rare beauty.
I just want to get it into the house, but it will take some time.
…
Shangqing Palace,
The empress stared at the memorial in her hand, and couldn't help but recall the madness last night in her mind.
Her pretty face was slightly red, and her legs felt a little weak.
She knew this was extremely inappropriate, but she always felt itchy, as if a cat was scratching her.
No, I absolutely cannot do this.
I am the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I must not delay national affairs because of the affection between my children.
She patted her cheeks, picked up the delicate teacup in front of her, and took a sip.
The warm tea with a faint fragrance temporarily stabilized her mind.
The empress breathed a sigh of relief and was about to concentrate on reviewing the memorial when she suddenly heard the eunuch calling outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the Queen knows that you summoned three concubines last night, so she specially prepared ginseng and turtle soup for you."
"The Queen also said that you have been working hard all day and need to pay more attention to your health. She accidentally learned the secrets of yoga introduced from Tianzhu a few days ago. She hopes to invite you to the Jinxiu Palace to discuss it together tonight. I wonder if your majesty will tonight whether……"
"I don't have time!"
The empress' voice was cold, and she dismissed the little eunuch outside the door with just one word.
What a queen, I have refused several times and still refuse, which is really shameless.
"Come here, call Xiao Dongzi over!"
