A few merchants are not to be feared.

What he was most worried about was that there was some conspiracy in it.

Li Er and Liu Bai are not here, there is no one to shelter from the wind and rain, so you have to be extremely careful about everything!

Wu Shun thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you!"

So far, Wu Shun is also the name of the shopkeeper of the Liu family, and among the merchants, he is very face-saving.

Immediately, the two walked towards Danfeng Gate.

Before reaching Danfengmen, he saw a dozen people making noise there from afar.

A large group of Jinwu Guards was standing nearby, and on the top of the wall, there were countless crossbows aimed at them!

But they had no fear at all.

The old man in the lead was waving the documents in his hand vigorously.

"There is the prince's seal on it, can this old man still lie to you?!"

Chapter 1160 Li Annian is going to play tricks again?

"Who is making noise here?"

When all the Jinwu guards saw Liu Jin coming, they hurriedly saluted.

"Master Chief!"

Seeing Liu Jin not far behind, followed by a small sedan chair, he bowed again.

This is a new rule in the palace.

We all know that Wu Shun is a sure-fire princess, but she still doesn't have an official title after all.

Only because the emperor and empress were not in the palace, they came to manage daily affairs.

Acquaintances can address her as 'Miss Shun'er', but others can't.

Simply put, the people in the palace only salute without addressing them.

Wu Shun didn't get out of the sedan chair, but asked the accompanying maid to come over and whispered a few words.

The maid walked quickly to Liu Jin's side, and whispered: "Chief, Miss said, now is a special period, so don't make it public. If the crown prince really owes money to these people, Miss can make up the shortfall first."

Liu Jin nodded, and said to the captain, "What's going on?"

The captain's face was full of embarrassment.

After hesitating for a moment, he brought an old shopkeeper to him.

After the old shopkeeper explained, Liu Jin finally understood what was going on.

Ask the maid to report back to Wu Shun.

"Sir, it's not that we merchants are unkind, it's because His Royal Highness ordered too many goods, and according to the agreement, [-]% of the payment should be paid yesterday. If there is any further delay, the old man and others may not be able to survive !"

The merchants behind also shouted.

"Yes, only [-]% of the payment is my greatest sincerity. We all have the handwriting left by the prince, and it took a day to take care of the face of His Highness the prince."

"It's all a radish and a pit. His Royal Highness's payment is not in place, and we can't pay wages to our subordinates!"

""

Liu Jin stared and said, "What's the noise?"

He was even more puzzled.

These days, I haven't heard that His Royal Highness is going to do business again.

The affairs of the court are too busy, His Royal Highness wishes to divide himself into ten people every day.

Still thinking about ordering outside?

Besides, Xiaoman stays with His Highness the Crown Prince all day, why didn't he hear about it?

"Hand over your books!"

Liu Jin asked the captain to put away all the books in his hand, and flipped through them one by one.

It was found that most of the goods were stationery.

What brushes, rice paper, inkstones, as well as special boxes for scholars, straw mats, food boxes and the like.

The order quantity is amazing!

No wonder this group of people have the guts to come to the palace to demand their debts.

Such a large order quantity, I am afraid no one can afford it.

The supply time is still short, and they must recruit craftsmen to catch up with the progress.

Looking at the contents of the handbook, the goods have been delivered for several days.

If the payment is not in place, these merchants will probably be forced to death by the craftsmen under their hands!

Looking at the signature below, Liu Jin's expression became a little strange.

He didn't talk to Wu Shun through the maid, but went directly to the sedan chair and handed in one of the manuscripts.

"Although they are similar, there are still some differences in the subtleties. It is not Chengqian's handwriting."

After receiving Wu Shun's answer, Liu Jin raised her brows and had some guesses in her heart.

He came to the group of merchants and found the old shopkeeper who had spoken before.

"Did the prince personally order the goods?"

The old shopkeeper said awkwardly: "Boss, you are joking. What is the identity of His Highness the Crown Prince? A young man came to order it, holding His Royal Highness's token in his hand. The old man has checked it, and it cannot be fake."

In Liu Jin's mind, a face appeared, looking at something that was not a good thing.

Li Yifu!

Li Yifu and the others are the only ones who are eligible to use the prince's token, and are still in Chang'an, who are not very old!

"Tell me about that person's appearance!"

The old shopkeeper thought for a while, and said: "The young man looks very thin, his stature is not good, his face is a little dark, he speaks very slowly, and his movements are also very slow. At that time, the old man thought he had a bone disease."

Liu Jin frowned.

Li Annian?

How could it be Li Annian?

As alert as he is, he instantly discovered that there must be something hidden in it!

Li Yifu is bad, but no one believes that he will be bad for the prince.

Since Li Yifu and his group of guys trust Li Annian a lot, then Li Annian is also trustworthy.

It's interesting when you think about it

Why did Li Annian order so many things used by scholars?

During the college entrance examination, they colluded and sold stationery to candidates at a high price, even if they lacked great virtue!

It was because of this incident that Laiji got through the board!

Can the candidates of the academy still be fooled?

There are definitely not many fools who dare to come to the academy!

Noticing the strangeness, Liu Jin hurried back to discuss with Wu Shun.

The two decided to return the books to the shopkeepers first.

Let them go back and wait, and after asking clearly, if it is true, someone will naturally send the money to their house.

The entrance of the Xuanzheng Hall!

Shi Xiang has bottomed out.

Jia Tong still didn't answer the question.

He closed his eyes and remained motionless.

He didn't even pick up the note with the title on the table!

Kong Yingda and the others all had teasing smiles on their faces.

The people in the Hongwen Museum have already started booing.

Kong Zhijun smiled coldly and said, "If you can't answer, why insist? Just admit defeat and it will be fine?"

Lu Deming and the other gentlemen didn't seem in a hurry.

The old god Wang Ji was there, sitting next to Li Chengqian.

Holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, he spat out the skin of the melon seeds all over the ground.

After eating the melon seeds, he touched his bosom and took out a delicate wine jug!

After taking a big sip, he exhaled a strong smell of alcohol, leaned back comfortably, and hiccupped contentedly.

For some reason, even the group of students in the academy in the distance didn't show any signs of worry!

Li Chengqian was about to cry!

Why don't these masters know how to worry?

Fang Xuanling and the others became a little uneasy!

Liu Jin hurried over and whispered something in Li Chengqian's ear.

Li Chengqian was startled, and said angrily: "Nonsense! Why does the prince want so much junk?"

After speaking, he was startled again.

Obviously reacted.

His expression changed, and he said to Liu Jin, "Go and tell Li Yifu what happened just now."

Liu Jin hurriedly whispered to Li Yifu again.

After Li Yifu listened, he was quite surprised and said: "They came so fast?"

Before Liu Jin could ask a question, Li Yifu shouted at Jia Tong: "Brother Zhiren, those people are here to ask for a bill, hurry up and answer!"

His voice was very loud, and he yelled several times in a row, as if he was afraid that Jia Tong would not hear him.

Everyone was amazed.

What does it mean?

Who is going to ask for the bill?

What surprised them even more was that when Jia Tong heard Li Yifu's shout, his body trembled inexplicably.

Opening his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, and he subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that the time incense was almost burnt out, he was startled.

"My God, I just want to take a nap, how did it take so long?!"

After speaking, he hurriedly picked up the note on the table and read it.

Everyone fell for it!

He he was sleeping just now? !

Chapter 1161 The battle of knowledge, killing without blood

While everyone was in doubt, Jia Tong had already finished reading the topic.

It can be vaguely seen that Kong Yingda's question is very long.

If you look at it at an ordinary speed, you will definitely not be able to finish it in such a short time.

Moreover, the topic of a great Confucian like Kong Yingda must be extremely obscure.

If you can understand it at a glance, why do you need to set the time for half a stick of incense?
