Detective in the Red Chamber

The person on the other side of the relationship is none other than Wei Rusong who had two molars broken by Sun Shaozu.

Seeing the politeness of the prince and brother-in-law, Wei Rusong hastily avoided, waved his hands and said modestly, "I don't dare to take credit for this. If it weren't for Guanshi Liu who went to the mansion, he thought of going outside the city to intercept the merchants who trafficked Tao Zhujinbei, we would like to start from here." How easy is it to get a piece of the pie from King Zhongshun?"

But it turned out that when he learned about Tao Zhu Jinbei from his younger brother Wei Ruolan, Wei Rusong had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the trend to make a fortune. However, when he sent someone to do market research, he accidentally discovered that the Palace of Zhongshun was actually Sun Shaozong's speculation. behind the scenes.

At that time Wei Rusong was caught in a dilemma.

King Zhongshun's advantage is not easy to get, if it's a small fight, it's fine, once you accidentally overstep the bounds and offend King Zhongshun, wouldn't it be extremely joyful and sad?

But since King Zhongshun is behind the scenes, doesn't it prove that Tao Zhujinbei is profitable?

It's so easy to catch up with the heaven-sent opportunity, is it necessary to miss it?

After hesitating again and again, Wei Rusong finally found his brother-in-law Beijing Wang Shuirong - others are afraid of offending King Zhongshun, but Shuirong with the eldest princess as a backer is not afraid!

as predicted.

Shui Rong, who accidentally hurt his vitality because he followed the trend to repair the garden last year, heard that there was an opportunity to make up for the shortfall, so he agreed without hesitation.

It’s just that the golden shells on the market have been swept away by Prince Zhongshun’s mansion long ago, and the thousands of bait scattered outside are nothing more than a drop in the bucket. If there is no ‘capital’, how can they get a share from King Zhongshun? What about the soup?

The two were very troubled by this for a few days.

Fortunately, a steward surnamed Liu in the palace quickly thought of a solution.

Although the more than [-] Taozhu gold shells that were brought over at the beginning were all collected by King Zhongshun at the price of cabbage, but the news is not good because of the high mountains and rivers, there must be some late merchants on their way back to the capital.

As long as you set up a card on the official road that must pass outside the city, and buy the gold shells that will be shipped in advance, wouldn't you be able to make a fortune with King Zhongshun?

In this way, the Beijing Palace has collected more than 6 gold shells one after another, and with the addition of the more than 2 gold shells just obtained yesterday, it has quietly approached the [-] mark—and because it was half-buying and half-robbing, the acquisition The average price of these gold shells is only five renminbi a piece.

But now, after the joint efforts of the two palaces, the middle-rank Tao Zhu Jinbei has risen to 14 taels of silver a piece, and the low-rank ones cost about one tael or three taels.

That is to say, in just one month, the Wangfu only paid tens of thousands of taels of silver, and nearly half of it was used for hype. According to the market price, it has already earned 10,000+ taels of vain silver!

What's more, this is only at the moment, and with Tao Zhu Jinbei's rising momentum in a day, it may have risen to 25 taels or even higher by the end of the month!

Thinking of the bright money scene in the future, Shui Rong only paced back and forth joyfully, but after a while, he couldn't help worrying about gains and losses, and said hesitantly, "Brother-in-law, the gold shells we have accumulated in our hands, plus what Uncle Wang collected Those, there are almost 20 pieces—although they are priceless in the city right now, but once our two families start releasing goods, will they..."

Wei Rusong laughed, and said nonchalantly, "My lord is probably worrying too much. Nowadays, almost everyone in the city values ​​this thing. With tens of thousands of people vying to buy it, 10 gold shells are still far away." Not enough."

"Furthermore, the gold shells in King Zhongshun's hands are much more than ours. With his temperament that loves money like his life, can he watch the price of gold shells plummet? We just need to keep an eye on King Zhongshun's mansion, and he Advance and retreat at the same time, this transaction is designated to make a steady profit and not lose money!"

Hearing this reasonable relief, Shuirong immediately felt at ease, and then he couldn't wait to order, "Then send people to spread the news outside, and strive to bring the middle-grade gold shells to 30 taels of silver by the end of the month." One, and the low-grade ones must be lifted to more than two taels of silver!"

"Order!"

Wei Rusong responded bluntly, and said, "Actually, in the evening, I had already sent someone to bribe a beggar, and I asked him to go to Xianke to brag about it tomorrow."

"I guess it won't be long before the beggar picked up Tao Zhu Jinbei and became rich overnight. Not only did he buy the woman in the mansion, but he even bought the news of a security chief. There will be a big increase!"

As he said that, he sneered again, "Speaking of which, this beggar is still the archway set up by Sun Laoer. I want to see how his tedious beggar Baojia system can continue to be implemented after the news spreads! "

"This……"

Shui Rong nodded repeatedly when she heard it at first, but when she heard the latter, she couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Brother, Ruo Lan has suffered a lot from Sun Shaozong's hands in several times before, and I think this person is really a powerful character. We are in a good situation now. Why do you bother to provoke him? In case something goes wrong..."

"My lord is worrying too much."

Wei Rusong shook his head, and said disdainfully, "The second son of Sun usually pretends to be a strong command, but he is actually a dog raised by King Zhongshun? Even if he dares to make trouble for us, how dare he disobey King Zhongshun?" thought?"

When Shui Rong heard this, she also felt that this was reasonable.

After all, a few days ago, Sun Shaozong was still sending people to investigate Tao Zhujinbei's affairs, but then he suddenly stopped. According to common sense, he was obviously afraid of the power of the two palaces.

So he didn't care about it, stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Since everything is in the hands of my brother-in-law, this king will go take a lazy first and make up for it."

Wei Rusong bowed slightly, and said confidently, "My lord, just go to the backyard to rest. I guess when you wake up from the dream, the middle-grade gold shell has already crossed the threshold of 15 taels!"

Chapter 423 The Crazy Shell [Part [-]]

But said the next morning.

As soon as the fiery red sun jumped out from under the horizon, Hong Jiu took a birdcage and walked into the 'Xiankelai' restaurant step by step, sitting in the middle with a big face, and slapped the bird The cage was thrown on the table of the Eight Immortals.

While the parrot was chirping, Hong Jiu also shouted in a rough voice, "Where are people? Where did people go?!"

The xiaolongtangbao in this Xiankelai restaurant is second to none in the entire capital, so there were many old customers who came to visit in the morning, and seeing Hong Jiu's cooking like this, they couldn't help but look sideways.

The more attention was paid to Hong Jiu, the more arrogant Hong Jiu's attitude became. Putting one leg on the bench, she raised her neck and was about to yell again.

At this time, a waiter in the shop hurried over, wiped the table, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ke, do you want to..."

However, just as the polite words started, the face of the waiter suddenly changed again, pointing at Hong Jiu and exclaiming, "You... aren't you Hong Jiu, a beggar who lives in a ruined temple nearby? This look?!"

Such an exaggerated expression!

Hong Jiu sneered at this guy's acting skills, but he straightened his chest and said arrogantly, "Of course, it's your Hong Jiuye!"

As he said, he took out a piece of broken silver weighing five taels from the sleeve, slapped it on the table, and said with a sneer, "Didn't you spoil Jiuye last month, even if you said it was your bun?" You are feeding the dog, and you are not willing to give me one? Today I want to see if I can buy you some steamed stuffed buns for a taste, sir, this is real gold and silver!"

The shop waiter looked at the money on the table, and exaggeratedly shouted, "Where did you get this money? Could it be stolen or robbed?!"

Who picked this girl?

With such a full-fledged appearance, fortunately, he has the nerve to sing against us Hong Jiuye!

Hong Jiu slandered his stomach, but turned his nose up to the sky, and snorted disdainfully, "Master Jiu, what kind of personality am I to steal other people's things? To tell you the truth, I am a good man and I will be rewarded. I bought one thing, and sold it for more than 300 taels of silver!"

The waiter in the store was like a repeater, and quickly handed over another line, "What can be so valuable? Are you bragging?!"

"blow?"

Hong Jiu stared, and said indignantly, "You are not deaf, don't you even know the name of Tao Zhu Jinbei? Lord, I picked up a Tao Zhu Jinbei last year. A few days ago, I heard that this thing can be exchanged for money, so I took it I went out and asked someone to ask, but I didn’t expect it to be a top-grade golden shell, and I changed it for one..."

"what?!"

Before Hong Jiu could finish speaking, someone among the guests jumped up and said anxiously, "The one you picked up is really a top-grade golden shell?!"

Seeing that 'as expected' someone jumped out to question, Hong Jiu immediately patted his chest and said, "The real money has already fallen into my pocket, can it be fake?"

Unexpectedly, the guest shook his head and sighed after hearing this, "The beggar is indeed a beggar, he is really ignorant! How can you sell the top-grade golden shells without 500 taels of silver? You sold it for 300 taels of silver. ... Alas~!"

Hearing this, Hong Jiu immediately jumped up in a rage, put on an angry posture, and yelled, "This Wang Dahu, who was plagued by the plague, tricked me?! No, I have to find The grandson goes!"

With that said, he picked up the birdcage, and ran out without heeding his head.

Everyone in the hall laughed unknowingly, but they were envious in their hearts.

The person who spoke just now even shook his head and said, "I don't know who is so unlucky that he lost this high-grade Tao Zhu Jinbei."

Someone sitting next to him laughed and said, "Didn't you hear what he said? I picked it up last year. At that time, a top-grade golden shell was only two taels of silver. Who would have thought that it would have already reached the sky in more than half a year?" ?!"

"No!"

Another person chimed in, "Whoever wants to have a top-grade gold shell in their home now has to protect it like an eyeball. How can anyone else take advantage of it?"

"Let's say it's a top grade, even a middle grade is worth a lot right now!"

"I heard that someone bought more than a dozen of them for three taels of silver, and they more than quadrupled in two months!"

"It's a pity that this thing is really hard to buy, otherwise, if you buy a few and save them at home for a year or so, you can make a lot of money!

Everyone was discussing in full swing, but the waiter in the shop suddenly shouted in surprise, "I remembered, I heard that a beggar got a windfall recently, and bought a beggar's name from the government office. I can't think of it." This is actually Hong!"

This is the last line, and it is the only line that Hong Jiu doesn't know.

After finishing speaking, the waiter in the shop didn't care what the diners' reactions were, so he happily touched the money in his pocket, smiling from ear to ear.

But at this moment, a young man rushed in like flying, and came to the table in the northwest corner, panting heavily, "Dad...Dad...Dad..."

The guests on the table were taken aback, jumped up, grabbed the young man's arm and said, "What's wrong with our father? When I came out in the morning, he was fine?!"

The young man shook his head like a rattle, stomped his feet and said, "No...not our father!"

The guest was stunned for a moment, then he relaxed and said speechlessly, "Since your father-in-law had an accident, what's the use of looking for me?"

"It's not my father-in-law either!"

The young man was going crazy, he beat his chest hard several times, and said word by word, "It's Jin Bei, Jin Bei has fallen!"

"what?!"

When the guest heard this, he was several times more nervous than when he was worried about his father just now. He grabbed his brother's arm and shook it desperately, "How could it be possible to fall? Isn't it three times a day these days?! How much did it fall? How much did it fall?!"

"It fell a full six coins!"

The young man hurriedly said, "There are more than 2000 middle-grade golden shells displayed near Honglu Temple, and one of the 14 taels is released for sale!"

Hearing the price, the customer calmed down a little, thinking to himself that he bought it for nine taels of silver, and now he still has a lot of money to make.

But this morning, it fell by six renminbi, if it continues to fall...

"go!"

The guest raised his hand and said, "Go home and bring the gold shell I saved, let's go to Honglu Temple to have a look!"

As soon as the two of them left, the rest of the diners in the restaurant also became a little absent-minded, thinking about finishing their meal quickly, so that they could go to Honglu Temple to watch the excitement—two of them simply dropped the buns and followed Fei ran out.

After half an hour...

Beijing Palace.

Wei Rusong's complexion was ashen, and he paced back and forth in the flower hall. In the early morning, he had just boasted in front of Shuirong, but in the blink of an eye, someone actually made a public mess!

If the price of the golden shell was really ruined, how would he explain to Shui Rong? !

"Master Wei."

Just as he was in a hurry, he saw Guanshi Liu from the mansion hurried in, bowing and reporting back, "The Prince Zhongshun's mansion has also got news now, and several of the stewards are asking angrily, who sold Tao Zhu Jinbei in Honglu Temple?" who is it!"

"What's the point now, what's the point of asking this?!"

Wei Rusong originally expected that King Zhongshun would take thunderous measures to suppress this troublemaker who suddenly appeared, but unexpectedly, he waited for such kind and muddy news.

Guanshi Liu smiled wryly, "I'm afraid they can't blame them. I heard that King Zhongshun went to the palace with his Majesty yesterday to escape the summer heat. There is no one in charge at home. Who dares to make decisions indiscriminately?"

It turned out to be like this, no wonder...

But in this way, the burden of maintaining the price of gold shells falls completely on the head of the Beijing Palace.

Liu Guanshi looked at Wei Rusong and turned around twice, couldn't help urging, "Master Wei, why don't we call the prince up and invite him..."

"No!"

Wei Rusong paused, shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to hesitate, if you delay like this, the price of Jin Bei will definitely plummet!"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, and ordered firmly, "Immediately ask someone to bring all the silver, and go and buy all those gold shells! At the same time, let the wind out, saying that a noble family plans to use Tao Zhu gold shells to build a building." Longevity Hill, presented to the Supreme Emperor as a birthday present!"

Guan Liu wondered, "This..."

"What is this?!"

Wei Rusong stared, "If we can't stabilize the momentum right now, all the 14 gold shells we bought will be thrown into our hands! Besides, as long as we can stop this momentum and raise the price of gold shells again , even if it is bought for [-] taels of silver, it can still make a lot of money!"

"But if you still can't stabilize the momentum after buying everything, wouldn't it be..."

"impossible!"

Wei Rusong waved his hand and said confidently, "The Summer Palace is only half a day's journey away from the capital. When King Zhongshun returns from the palace, is there anything wrong with it?"

Chapter 424 Crazy Shell [Part [-]]

It was almost noon.

Shui Rong was half asleep and half awake, when he heard a crisp sound of 'popping' coming from the cubicle, he got up from the bed in a daze, opened the door and looked outside, who knew that before he could see clearly what was going on in the hall, he It was first reflected with a shiny green color.

It turned out that in the small hall, there was a graceful woman, kneeling on the ground, concentrating on melting a piece of wax. The brilliant green light was emitted when the wax was burning.

"Aifei."

Shui Rong couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "How many times have I told you that this kind of rough work is left to the servants—if you accidentally burn you, what can you do?"

This woman is naturally the Princess Wei.

Seeing that she turned a deaf ear to it, she blew out the candles on the table, took another mink fur, dipped it in the melted wax, and wrapped the two bowstrings carefully.

When the mink was tightly tied with a ribbon, she got up and gave a blessing, and said indifferently, "I still have to take care of the things I use myself, so I can feel more at ease."

Seeing that she wore a light pink bikini on her upper body, and a pair of trousers for horse riding on her lower body, she looked heroic and unyielding, but she was born with a blessing, and the protruding part was tight. There are all kinds of styles.

Especially when he saw those two slender legs tightly overlapping each other, Shui Rong suddenly felt dryness rising in his lower abdomen, wishing he could take the place of the black horse in the stable and let her ride on him' Galloping freely'.

It's a pity that Wei has always been a self-confessed person, and he is absolutely unwilling to engage in any day-to-day prostitution, so Shui Rong can only clamp his tail, and asks flatteringly, "Is this 'rosin wax' that the king ordered people to burn paper to be?" Still make?"
