"No."
Xiao Yuan turned his head, met Xu Nuo's eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a very soothing tone: "After so many years, some clues have been found about this matter, but the truth is like the moon in the water. The deeper you look into it, the more you find out. The more invisible you are, the more things will be disrupted and broken. It's not the time for confrontation yet, so I won't be in a hurry."
I have been carrying this heavy thing since I was a child. I have been eager to know the truth for many years, but due to various restrictions, I cannot investigate it all.
This feeling of truth is right in front of my eyes, but I can't push away the veil, like ants gnawing at my heart.
And his heart was already as strong as steel.
When Xiao Yuan said "I won't be in a hurry", Xu Nuo suddenly understood his past and decided not to ask him about it again.
When he wanted to say something, he would naturally tell her.
The two lay like this until they heard a very light footsteps at the second watch. They looked at each other and sat up.
Their location is a long way from the downtown area.
Very few people pass by here at night, and even if they have to walk this way, they will speak loudly and be bold, instead of walking so cautiously.
Hearing the footsteps fading away, Xu Nuo lay down again, folded his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and assumed a comfortable posture.
The cool breeze at night carried the word "Ice City".
Is the person who tiptoed by just now related to the ice market?
Xiao Yuan knew that Xu Nuo had been running around about Bingshi these days, so he picked her up and said, "Follow her."
They followed him all the way to Shengde Building on West Street.
Although it was already the second watch, Bianjing was noisy in the scorching heat. West Street is very lively with people coming and going, and Shengde Building is even more lively. It's hard to find a building there.
Xu Nuo didn't expect these people to come here. Come to the restaurant in her name.
Follow them into the qu, remember how many people entered the qu's box, and then find the shopkeeper and ask the shopkeeper to arrange the box next door to her.
The two went up to the second floor side by side. On the stairs, Xiao Yuan whispered: "Liu Niang, your family has a great business. I will rely on you to support me in the future."
He had a serious look on his face, and if someone he didn't know well saw him, they would think he was telling the truth. But Xunuo had already figured out his habits and didn't bother to refute. He followed his words and said, "After joining the army, write a thousand-word letter to me every day, and I will send it to you. I will support you."
After speaking, he gave Xiao Yuan a look. The two quickly entered the house and closed the door.
As soon as the two entered the room, they heard crying from the box next to them.
In the box next door, the man in black brocade robes among the three people who had just entered the room sat on the table, and the other two stood on both sides of him.
Several people who had been waiting in the box for a long time looked at each other, and finally they all looked at the older one among them.
The man naturally knew that everyone wanted him to speak, so he coughed and put down the folding fan in his hand. He leaned forward and licked his lips. Said: "Sir, you have to save the children. Those small vendors selling cold drinks have no business, and we will starve! Previously, there were many people ordering ice, and the ice cellars were basically open. I originally wanted to We were expecting to sell out all the ice cream in the next few days before opening a new ice cellar. How could we expect that the small vendors would come one by one to unsubscribe? We had promised to cancel as soon as we subscribed, but now we have no choice but to let them cancel. In the past few days, the ice cellar has More than half of the ice inside has melted, and now we are really cornered."
Ordinary people cannot buy much ice to cool down in the hot summer, so their business mainly relies on small vendors selling cold drinks.
If it was their own ice, they would lose money if they lost, but now they are doing business with the ice in the hands of the people above them, and if they lose money, they have to put it in themselves.
The person at the table frowned, looked around at the people sitting there, and said impatiently: "What are you yelling about? They have already been investigated. The business of those vendors has been destroyed by the three ice shops under Zhu Shang." If we take it away, retreating from the ice is a helpless move.”
"Sir, so it's because we cut off their business by selling ice at low prices before, that's why they did this?"
"Of course, I think they also lost a lot before." The person at the table looked impatient and kept fanning with his sleeves.
Seeing that he was hot, someone got up to open the window, but was scolded back: "Partition walls have ears! Did you open the window to tell the people on the street what we said?"
The person who was going to open the window trembled, muttering "Young ones don't dare, small ones don't dare", and sluggishly returned to their seats.
The person who spoke first looked at this and that without stopping at all. Finally, he took a deep breath, pinched his sleeves and asked: "Sir, is there any way to save it now? We can't just watch those few ice cubes disappear. Yes."
"What else can I do? I will introduce some people to come to your place to buy ice to cool down and minimize losses."
At first they didn't think about asking officials to buy ice here, fearing that the ice's origin would be discovered and cause trouble. Now it seems that no one is paying attention to this matter, so they are no longer so cautious.
"If this can be done, that would be the best. We also don't lack those vendors who sell cold drinks to buy ice. I'm sorry to bother you and your lord Tongpan."
Everyone knows that those officials consume the most ice in summer. With those customers, there is no need to worry.
As soon as the words fell, Xunuo heard a loud slap, followed by a stern scolding: "How many times have I told you, you are not allowed to mention Lord Tongpan outside. No matter who you meet, you are not allowed to say, if You guys are so big-mouthed, I won’t give you this ice next year.”
"Sir, I was wrong." The person who was beaten covered his old face and secretly regretted it in his heart.
The person at the table shook his hands, stood with his hands behind his back, and said viciously to the people in the room: "I never do business that makes a loss. Since Zhu Shang dares to let me fall into such a situation, from tomorrow on, you will let people outside They say that the ice used to make those cold drinks is not clean. Several children have been eaten to death in the past few days. There was a young and strong young man who trembled after eating their ice drinks and could not speak clearly! "
"Sir, you are really smart. If no one buys their cold drinks, the business of those small vendors will improve, and we don't need to worry about it."
Several people in the box praised him repeatedly.
After hearing this, Xu Nuo stood up and stood by the window, looking at the brightly lit streets with an expressionless face.
The back exudes an aura of loneliness and perseverance.
Xiao Yuan picked up the empty tea cup and threw it towards her.
Xu Nuo reached out to catch it and put it on the window edge.
Xiao Yuan asked: "What are you going to do?"
"To deal with this kind of idiot, we can use some force to solve it." Xu Nuo played with the tea cup in his hand, with a shrewd look in his eyes.
As early as when her three ice stores had problems, she went to check the conditions of those ice stores whose prices were lower than cost.
It was discovered that a few people from the Ministry of Industry had done something wrong and transferred the ice cellar and ice storage from the Ministry of Industry to those businessmen.
The Ministry of Industry stores ice every year. If the ice stored in the previous year is not used this year, the ice cellar will be opened at the end of summer, the ice will be moved out, and new ice will be stored, and so on.
As long as it's not a once-in-a-hundred-year heat, most of these ice reserves won't be used.
In this way, the people from the Ministry of Industry came up with such a trick——
I've been busy with work recently, and I'm lazy, so I haven't updated it, but I really want to update it.
Whether you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, I love you all. (To be continued.)
