The imperial concubine was spoiled by the prince again

Chapter 255

But if they cooperate well, His Highness the Fifth Highness will not treat them badly in the future.

He also hinted from time to time that even if Yuanpenglou climbed up to General Huo, the backer is not in the capital now.

Huo Jinhe and the few nurses left behind rolled up their sleeves and waited for the shopkeeper to yell and throw them out, while shopkeeper Xu, who had been specially instructed by Jinxiu long ago, patiently listened to the threats and lures from the visitor, and said yes to The officers and soldiers said.

"Yuanpenglou does have some surplus food. I am willing to do my part for the disaster in southern Shandong. Originally, the food was intended to be handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Soon it will be sent to southern Shandong together with the donations. Now it's okay to let everyone take it away. .”

"Anyway, since we are far away in the capital, it must be much easier to buy rice than His Highness Fifth Highness, so we can clearly distinguish the priorities."

The officers and servants looked happy, thinking that this old man is very knowledgeable about current affairs!

"Everyone is going to Wushuanglou to buy food next, right? It's not too late, everyone go to business first, we will pack up the existing food in the restaurant and send it outside Wushuanglou later, so as not to delay you."

The officials were very satisfied, and they asked cautiously: "Is the price according to what we said?"

Shopkeeper Xu smiled: "Everyone is joking, being able to contribute to disaster relief is a kind act, how can you still collect money? There is still a part of charity money, please take it to Lunan first, so that the people will not suffer more."

Ouch!I hit the big luck and met a fool today!
The officials went out happily, originally they didn't intend to go to the Wushuang Building first, because shopkeeper Xu just mentioned it, so they just walked there directly.

Jinxiu stood on the window sill and watched those annoying officers and soldiers walking from Yuanpeng Building to Wushuang Building. Yingge asked, "Why did you give food to the Fifth Prince for free, and add so much money?"

Jin Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, although money is something outside of me, I won't throw it away for nothing."

"Find someone to follow these people and see where they will send the food and silver."

Yingge has always been quick-witted, and she understood after a little thought: "The pavilion master means that, following their route, can we retrieve the things that the Fifth Prince took from our Gusu Pavilion?"

"That's right. The people in the dark pavilion said that the supplies they saw in the Lunan camp were far from what they should be. Some of them must have been secretly hidden by him!"

Jinxiu snorted: "That's not true."

"First embezzling most of the silver, and then ignoring some of it on the grounds of rising prices, and then forcing the purchase of grain at low prices... Layer after layer of deduction, I don't know how much will be left in the hands of the people."

Thinking of the famine scenes she had seen before, Yingge gritted her teeth: "It's not a good thing!"

Jinxiu smiled: "That's right, so there's no pressure to get stuck."

Her eyes fell casually outside the window and she said slowly: "The place where Xiao Yunming hides things should not only be our Gusu Pavilion's things, maybe there are unexpected harvests as well."

At this time, Yingge hadn't understood the hidden meaning of this sentence, but immediately sent people to follow the clues left by Yue Luo to track down Xiao Yunming's people, and after a while, they really found some clues that were too late to erase.

Xiao Yunzhi was having dinner with Zheng Yunshu at Wushuang Building, when he saw a few people dressed as officials come in to greet him, and after asking, he found out that the other party was looking for the shopkeeper of Wushuang Building.

In front of the prince, the shopkeeper was not easy to put on a show, and he heard that he was from the fifth prince, so he was rarely polite, but after listening to the other party's request, it was difficult for him to maintain his composure.

"Collect food?"

He tried his best to be calm but couldn't hide his arrogance: "I've never heard of anyone who can force a restaurant to sell food. This is what we do for a living. If we give food to you, how can we open the door for business?"

The official has already prepared a reason: "Lunan disaster relief food is the most urgent thing in the whole of Daxia, and even the Holy Majesty is worried about it every day."

"Sell us the grain for the time being, wouldn't it be all right to replenish it some other day?" That's what the shopkeeper of Yuanpenglou said just now!They think it makes sense!
Comparing the two, they feel that Wushuanglou is really ignorant and arrogant.

What happened to the Zheng family, they are still members of the Fifth Prince!Who is afraid of whom?
