After chatting for a while.
Zhao Ding then stood up and left.
I have to say that although I drank some vegetarian dishes and no meat tea, I got the news I wanted!
Tian Heng.
Ma Zai, who is in charge of the official department.
Zhou Xing's brother-in-law.
He deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates, smuggled salt and iron, and used official ships from various places to the capital to smuggle his own goods.
They took human life seriously and even colluded with the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen to suppress the matter.
It seems that any one thing is enough to make Qi Cheng lose his head!
It has to be said that in an instant, a whole line of information clearly appeared in Zhao Ding's mind, and he also extracted the home addresses of the family members of the three gangsters who were beaten to death from Xianxue.
I have to say that this group of people is really brave and lawless, and they actually did this under the feet of the emperor without any restraint.
interesting.
At the same time, Zhao Ding also had to admire his father's methods for suppressing the matter until now.
Hidden but not revealed.
Still stuck at this critical point, tell him.
In this way, he, Zhao Ding, not only established his authority, but also completely implemented the matter of the Imperial College.
After all, the Zhou family has a handle, but that doesn't mean other families don't have a handle.
The sudden revelation of this matter was enough to make those wealthy families fearful for a while.
"It seems that the old man's method of being able to sit in the imperial court for twenty years is not as simple as it seems."
Zhao Ding grinned.
The only regret for Zhao Ding was that he didn't drink the meat tea.
Otherwise, this alluring peony should taste particularly delicious when held in your arms.
Then drink it next time!
"Master."
Seeing Zhao Ding come out, Zhang San immediately greeted him.
He looked at Zhao Ding with meaning in his eyes.
Zhao Ding also nodded imperceptibly.
Huangfutai on the side watched Zhao Ding come out, and a hint of impatientness flashed across his face. He rolled up his sleeves, cupped his hands to Zhao Ding and said, "In Xia Yanzhou, Huangfutai, a merchant from Qinghe County, met King Yan. Your Highness."
At present, most of the people in the wine shop have left.
Only he and Zhang San are still here waiting for Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding glanced at Huangfutai suspiciously, but he was extremely amused in his heart.
Huangfutai actually guessed his identity.
However, he still pretended to be stupid on his face and said: "Brother Huangfu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand, His Highness King Yan? Where is His Highness King Yan here?"
"Um?"
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Huangfutai was also a little stunned.
He looked at Zhao Ding in great surprise.
But he still had a smile on his face and said: "Your Highness King Yan, please stop joking with me. Although I am not talented, I still have some ability to understand people, and the business done at home is also in line with His Highness's Youzhou Zhao family." There is some intersection between the trading houses,
When I went to Youzhou to purchase goods earlier, I caught a glimpse of His Highness from a distance.
Now that I see you again, how can I not recognize you? "
Huangfutai said with a smile.
"Then you may have admitted your mistake."
Zhao Ding nodded noncommittally and said, "Brother said that I am His Highness the King of Yan, so I would like to ask the Brother, if I were His Highness the King of Yan, how could I come to a place like Qinghefang with fireworks and willow lanes? ?
Besides, brother, don't you know that I, the royal family of the Great Qian Dynasty, have extremely strict management of the clan's children? Under such circumstances, if I were His Highness King Yan, why would I come to Qinghefang in person?
The worst case scenario is to send someone over to bring Madam Shuyu into the house. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to get a glimpse of Madam Shuyu's beauty and save outsiders from gossiping? "
Zhao Ding asked one after another.
"this...."
Huangfutai was a little confused.
Although Zhao Ding's words were words of evasion, he was also telling the truth. If he were His Royal Highness, King Yan of the current dynasty, why would he come to the land of Fireworks and Willow Lane in person.
If he was exposed, wouldn't it mean that outsiders would chew on him and say that Zhao Ding was a person with a dissolute nature?
Become a handle for those remonstrating ministers to attack him?
Did I really admit my mistake?
Huangfutai couldn't help but take another look at Zhao Ding.
But no matter how you look at it, Zhang San's words and deeds just now seem to reflect Zhao Ding's identity.
Thinking of this, Huangfutai cupped his hands and said, "I must have admitted the wrong person, brother, don't blame me."
"Of course it's not strange."
Zhao Ding laughed and said.
However, he took another look at Huangfu Terrace.
Let’s not talk about whether Huangfu Tai saw his identity, but he knew how to advance and retreat, but he was not bad at it.
There may be some use for it in the future.
Then Huangfutai continued to say: "Let's not say whether the clan brother is His Royal Highness King Yan, but from the words and deeds of the brother next to the clan brother, I can also see that the clan brother must be a person in a high position.
In this case, I will give my clan brother a message. If my clan brother finds it useful, please remember what I did today in the future. If there is anything I can do to help, please help me. "
Huangfutai looked at Zhao Ding meaningfully and continued: "Brother, do you know why I, a businessman from Yanzhou, have to travel thousands of miles to come to Yingtian?"
"Why?"
Zhao Ding asked with interest.
Seeing Zhao Ding speak, Huangfutai continued: "Because prices in Qingzhou and Yangzhou have skyrocketed, especially the price of food, which has skyrocketed several times, and aristocratic families are stocking up on food, so I saw the opportunity, I want to come here to harvest food from Yingtian. When the time comes, I can resell it and make some hard-earned money from it."
Huangfutai looked at Zhao Ding with a smile.
But after hearing Huangfutai's words, Zhao Ding's brows wrinkled slightly.
Harvest food?
Food prices skyrocketing?
This year is not a year of drought in Qingyang and Yang. Under such circumstances, those aristocratic families are still harvesting grain. Did anyone predict that the dry water will flood today?
Or are you here for him, Zhao Ding?
"Then with my brother's wealth, he should have purchased a lot of grain."
Zhao Ding asked without leaving any trace.
Master Huangfu sighed and said, "Oh, that's not the case. I've been here for half a month and still haven't harvested anything."
"No harvest?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ding was stunned.
Yingtian and even the surrounding prefectures and counties are well-known as a land of fish and rice in Daqian. Unlike the mountainous areas like Youzhou, there are many plains around Yingtian, and because of the relatively good climate, there are two more crops of rice, and because it is close to Daqian Another mother river has always been rich in water resources for irrigation.
How can I not receive food?
Seeing that Zhao Ding was lost in thought, Huangfutai continued: "Actually, this is the news I want to give to my clan brother. After this period of time, it has been circulating in the food stores of all the big and small cities in Yingtian.
In fact, I also discovered the tricks in it.
It's not that there is no grain to harvest, but that someone has secretly suppressed the grain shops, so that even if they have grain, they dare not sell it, let alone sell it to grain merchants from other places.
So this is the news I want to give to my clan brother. "
Huangfutai looked at Zhao Ding meaningfully.
"It's interesting, it's interesting."
Zhao Ding touched his nose and said with a smile, then looked at Huangfu Tai with the same meaning and said with a smile: "Actually, I think it's a good thing that the clan brother didn't receive the food.
There is some money that he can earn, and there is some money that he cannot earn. The clan brother cannot receive food now. In fact, from another aspect, it is not a bad thing for the clan brother. "
As soon as these words came out, Huangfutai's expression suddenly condensed.
But when he came to his senses, Zhao Ding still took Zhang San downstairs.
Looking at the back of Zhao Ding and Zhang San leaving in a hurry.
Huangfutai stood there for a long time, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Maybe his clan brother is really His Royal Highness, King Yan of the current dynasty!
PS: Is there something wrong with the plot? Or is it that people don’t like watching this kind of foreshadowing type of plot?
