Chapter 72 News to be confirmed

"Little..., ah, guest officer, you are here, please come inside!"

Chen Size, the shopkeeper of the Shandong branch of "Kirin Firm", is the cousin of Chen Siyuan, the shopkeeper of the head office. He has learned about the future of Jining, the real big boss of his firm, and has been waiting for Hongqing's visit for a long time. , at this moment, I heard the waiter report that there was a child with extraordinary bearing leading several attendants to the store, and he immediately guessed the root cause, how dare he neglect it, rushed to the front hall in a hurry, and saw Hong Qing Zheng Looking at him with a half-smile, flustered, he snatched up to pay respects, but before he could make a move, he saw that Hong Qing had already frowned, and then he came to his senses, and dared to love his big brother The boss didn't want to reveal his identity in public, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"Shopkeeper Chen, please!"

Chen Size's appointment as the shopkeeper of Shandong Semicolon was certainly due to his cousin's recommendation, but it was more due to the result of Hongqing's passing the examination. Appreciate it, seeing his quick response now, I am very satisfied in my heart, but I didn't talk nonsense, just nodded with a smile, and made a "please" gesture.

"The little one kowtows to the little prince."

Although the Shandong branch of "Kirin Company" has just opened, it can be said that it was a big deal from the beginning. Not only is the scale of the store huge, but the back hall is even more luxurious. The warehouse area, office area, and dormitory area are connected together, covering an area of ​​[-] acres. Regardless of Fangyuan and profitability, the scale of this firm alone is already the largest in Jining. No, it took Hong Qing and others all the way through the halls and alleys, and it took a full cup of tea to arrive at the back hall In the secret room, at this moment, Chen Size didn't dare to stand up any longer, and fell to his knees on the ground, paying homage incessantly.

"Forget it, just get up and talk."

Although Hong Qing herself is very annoyed by politeness, she still knows the truth that etiquette cannot be discarded, so she still has to put on the airs that should be put on. Facing Chen Size's respectful gift, Hong Qing did not rush to shout, but calmly After accepting the ceremony, he raised his hand falsely and gave orders calmly.

"Thank you, little prince Ron."

Chen Size was obviously a cautious person, even though he had already guessed Hong Qing's intention, he didn't dare to open his mouth without permission. After thanking him politely, he stood aside with his hands down, as if he was listening to the instructions respectfully.

"How is the matter that Xiao Wang confessed?"

Hong Qing had something on her mind, so she was much too lazy to talk about it, so she went straight to the point when she opened her mouth.

"Returning to the little prince, the little one got a message from Liu San'er the morning before yesterday, and contacted the people from Li's family before noon, and the 1000 taels of silver have also been transferred. As for the specific actions on the other end, the little one didn't ask. , I don’t know the details.”

When Hong Qing asked, Chen Size didn't dare to be slighted, so he hurriedly bowed and answered quickly.

"Well, where are the members of the Li family now?"

The reason why Hongqing didn't entrust Chen Size with the specific task was not because he didn't trust him enough, but because Chen Size had just arrived in Shandong, and it would be inconvenient for him to handle the matter. Moreover, the whole world knew " The origin of "Kirin Company", once Chen Size makes some moves, those who are interested will know the truth. This is obviously not a situation that Hong Qing is willing to see. For the sake of confidentiality, Hong Qing simply excluded Chen Size from the action In addition, although these thoughts are not complicated, Hong Qing does not want to reveal them in advance. Zi Bufan took this opportunity to investigate Chen Size's purpose. Obviously, Chen Size's prudent performance satisfied Hong Qing, but Hong Qing was just I remembered it in my heart, but didn't comment on it, but continued to ask questions calmly.

"Little Wang Ye Mingjian, the younger one thought that although the place of the business is large, there are many people coming and going, which is quite inconvenient, so I dare not place the members of the Li family here, so the younger one reckoned that they would all be arranged across the street. It’s very convenient to take care of one or two, if you haven’t asked for instructions first, please ask the little prince Haihan.”

Chen Size didn't know what Hong Qing had told the members of the Li family, and he was very cautious not to ask, but after all, 3000 taels of silver were stolen from his own business, and Chen Size couldn't help worrying that the members of the Li family took such With a lot of money, they ran away, so some people decided to arrange the lairs of the Li family members diagonally opposite the company. Firstly, it was natural that he said that they could take care of them, and secondly, they were not watching The intentions of the members of the Li family, now that Hong Qing heard the question, she dared not hide anything, so she hastily explained it carefully.

That's right, it's a usable talent, it's too wasteful to put it in the semicolon!

To participate in the grand drama of seizing the heir, apart from one's own ability, there are two most important things, one is money, and the other is people. Now, with the "Kirin Firm" getting on the right track, it will be a very long time in the future. For a period of time, Hongqing no longer has the fear of lack of money, but when it comes to talent reserves, so far, it is almost zero. There is no doubt that finding talents is one of the most important tasks for Hongqing. And Chen Size's ability and prudence obviously left a pretty good impression on Hong Qing.

"Well, shopkeeper Chen is interested, go ahead and find the person in charge of the Li family."

Although she already had other plans for Chen Size in her heart, Hong Qing didn't intend to say anything at this time, so she just flatly praised Chen Size.

"The little one obeys, the little prince please wait a moment, the little one will come back as soon as he goes."

Chen Size didn't know that his fate would take a huge turning point because of this conversation. Right now, all he cared about was whether Hong Qing would care about her own self-assessment. Since he was a little more peaceful, he didn't dare to delay, so he hastily responded and left the room in a hurry. After a while, he turned back with a young man who was full of heroic spirit.

"Brother Minxing, this is my little prince, hurry up and meet him."

The young man obviously didn't expect that there were so many people in this room, and he couldn't help being a little dazed when he saw it at first sight. When he saw Li Minquan, the clan brother who had always thought highly of himself, standing beside a child Beside her, her brows were raised in an instant, obviously doubts had arisen in her heart, and she was slightly at a loss when she saw that Chen Size had already waved his hand and opened his mouth to reveal Hong Qing's origin.

"Craftsman Li Minxing kowtows to the young prince."

Although Li Minxing has been around the rivers and lakes for a long time, he is still a young man. He has seen such a respected person. Even though Hong Qing's small face is still very immature, Li Minxing dare not be underestimated in the slightest. He rushed forward and clasped his fists in a courteous salute.

"Presumptuous, in front of the little prince, Er'an dare not kneel!"

Seeing that Li Minxing only bowed and did not kneel down, Li Minquan became impatient. One must know that his life's glory and wealth were all entrusted to Hong Qing, so how could he dare to cause Hong Qing's displeasure, without waiting for Hong Qing? Opening his mouth, Li Minquan drank his throat in extreme annoyance.

"It doesn't matter. There are many etiquettes in the world. When we meet, we are destined to meet. There is no need to be overly polite. Li Zhuang doesn't need to be too polite. Let's sit down and talk about it."

Emphasizing etiquette is a method used by the imperial servants, and now Li Minxing is only here to help, out of emotion and reason, Hong Qing has no reason to put on airs in front of others, moreover, Hong Qing's heroic attitude towards Li Minxing is also unreasonable He had a good impression of him, and he would not let him be wronged, so he waved his hand, stopped Li Minquan's scolding, and kindly let him sit down.

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me your seat."

Li Minxing is obviously a generous person, after politely thanking him, he sat proudly behind a table on the side, put his hands on his knees, his figure was extremely tall and straight, his eyes looked directly at Hongqing, and he didn't pay attention to Fang at all. The annoyed eyes of a group of people.

"Xiao Wang invited Mr. to come to ask if anything strange has happened to the granary of the Hecao Yamen in recent days?"

Seeing Li Minxing's generosity, Hong Qing's evaluation of him immediately became higher, and she really wanted to use it for herself, but she didn't intend to mention it at this time, but was gentle. With a smile, he asked directly about the business.

"Returning to the young prince, Li received news from his clan brothers the day before yesterday and contacted several old friends in the guard camp of the granary yesterday. According to reports, in the middle of last month, a large amount of grain and fodder had been shipped out from the granary for several days. They all acted in the middle of the night, their whereabouts are unknown, and now there is basically no food in the granary, after Li heard about this, he was deeply surprised, and specially found a few old people who guarded the city camp, and they can confirm that there is no danger."

Upon hearing Hong Qing's question, Li Minxing bowed slightly, clasped his fists in salute, and reported the news he had received one by one without haste, immediately causing the expressions of all the people in the room to change wildly.

What?Out of food?Damn it!

Hearing what Li Minxing said, although Hong Qing's face remained calm, her heart sank suddenly, and her eyes became sharp in an instant, but she didn't break out. He asked slightly coldly: "Is it possible for Li Zhuangshi to find out the whereabouts of the grain and fodder?"

"Li can only try, but I dare not say that it will definitely happen."

Although Li Minxing didn't know how important the lack of food in the granary was, but when he saw that the room was full of people, all of them looked extremely ugly, and he knew that this matter might not be that simple, so he didn't dare to pack the ticket indiscriminately, so he clasped his fists and gave A cautious answer came out.

"Okay then, I'll ask Li Zhuangshi to investigate with all his strength. No matter how much money is needed, it will be paid by shopkeeper Chen. However, there is a guarantee of energy dissipation. Li Zhuangshi can go to the post station to find Xiaowang with Xiaowang's seal. If it works, Thank you very much.”

Although Hong Qing was a little irritable, she didn't lose her sense of control because of it. She frowned, and after thinking for a while, she stood up, walked slowly to the table where Li Minxing was sitting, and stretched out her hand to remove it from her waist. A jade pendant was handed over to Li Minxing, and he gave a sincere command.

"Okay, and allow Li to retire temporarily. If there is a letter, I will report it to the little prince."

Li Minxing accepted the jade pendant handed over by Hong Qing without hesitation, bowed and saluted without caring about the expressions of the rest of the people in the room, turned around, and strode out of the room...
