Chapter 331 The Dog Jumps over the Wall
"Father, we were fooled."
Master Li looked at the eldest son who was unable to do anything, and his face was stern, "What is it like to be flustered."
Li Dalang, Concubine Li's elder brother, looked furious, "Father, Yuhuaxiang, remember, we were fooled. We fell into someone else's trap."
Master Li put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Speak clearly. You were the one who made up your mind when buying and selling Yuhua Lane, but now you say that you were fooled, what the hell is going on."
Li Dalang sat down and said, "Father, we are really fooled. When I left the house today, I learned that the person who bought Yuhua Lane is vigorously renovating Yuhua Lane.
After the renovation is completed, such a long street and so many houses will change hands for 100,000, 200,000, or even 300,000 taels.
They bought it from us for 10,000 taels, and the profit is dozens of times the profit. Father, this is a set. "
Master Li's expression changed slightly, "Who would spend the money to transform such a broken place like Yuhua Lane? How much does it cost?"
"Don't worry about how much it will cost, in short, when Yuhua Lane is renovated, it will be a delicious place. Father, that place was originally owned by our Li family. As a result, they set up a game, won 10,000 taels, and changed hands for hundreds of thousands of taels. earn money, can you be content?"
Master Li snorted, and stared at Li Dalang with hatred for iron and steel, "Who persuaded me to shoot Yuhua Lane?"
Li Dalang beat his chest and paused, "My son is wrong. My son is short-sighted. He just wanted to get rid of the burden of Yuhua Alley, but he didn't expect to be able to find a new way to make a little modification, and it would be able to sell for a big price. Even if you give me 100,000 taels, I won't sell it."
Mr. Li had a serious face, although he knew that his son was talking nonsense, let alone 100,000 taels, even if he gave 80,000 taels, he would sell Yuhua Lane. However, when he thought that someone could make a lot of money from his own hands, Master Li and his son shared the same hatred.
"I didn't expect that the Northwest businessman would have such courage to be willing to spend money to transform Yuhua Lane." Master Li sighed and planned to talk to the Northwest businessman about his life.
Li Dalang slapped him on his thigh, hurting him. ,
He didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly said: "Father, that's not the case at all, there are no Northwest merchants at all. The people who bought Yuhua Lane were not Northwest merchants at all, but Mrs. Zhao of Ning Wangfu.
This is clearly a scam. They set up a scheme and bit a piece of meat from our Li family. Father, this revenge must be avenged. "
When Master Li heard the words, he couldn't continue to calm down, "Is this true?"
"Exactly,
The son has already inquired clearly. The owner behind Yuhua Lane is the Zhao Madam of Ning Wangfu. This incident was obviously aimed at our Li family from the very beginning, and set up a bureau to snatch away the sweet pastry from our Li family. Father, this Mrs. Zhao deceives people too much. If you don't show her a little bit of strength, do you really think that our Li family is easy to deceive? "
Li Dalang gritted his teeth, if Gu Jiu were present at this moment, he would definitely rush up to bite down a piece of meat.
Master Li waved his hand, "Could it be that King Ning instructed Mrs. Zhao to come forward and buy Yuhua Lane?"
"Anyway, King Ning didn't come forward. It was the Mrs. Zhao who came forward. Father, this matter can't be left alone." Li Dalang shouted for revenge.
Mr. Li was silent for a long time, "If this matter involves King Ning, we must be careful. Beware of getting into someone else's trap. If there is a lawsuit in front of the imperial court, can the deed written in black and white be discredited? Maybe the palace will also be implicated. The lady in there."
Li Dalang was dissatisfied, "Father, what do you say? Do you just watch them make money? That's our Li family's money, so why give it away for nothing. Just thinking that they only spent 10,000 taels to buy the rain from us. Huaxiang, my son's heart is bleeding."
Master Li said, "Don't worry about it. I'll let your mother enter the palace tomorrow. I'll ask the concubine De's intentions first, and then make plans."
Li Dalang gritted his teeth, feeling very unwilling in his heart. De Fei wanted to ask for instructions, but Yuhua Lane couldn't let it go.
If you don't teach them a lesson, do you really think the Li family is weak and easy to bully?
Li Dalang immediately mentioned another thing, "Father, don't forget Jubaozhai. When it first opened, Jubaozhai's business was so good, and now it's been run down by Zhenbaozhai. I spent a lot of money to win the shop opposite the door of Zhenbaozhai. , but this result, the son is really not reconciled.
That Mrs. Zhao is against us everywhere, father, no matter what, this matter can't be good. "
Seeing the hesitant expression on Master Li's face, Li Dalang added another piece of firewood, "The empress in the palace has a lot of expenses, and we have suffered heavy losses one after another. When the empress needs money next time, where does father plan to allocate funds to supplement the empress?
Also, within the Shaofu, there was already a lot of dissatisfaction with his son. The loan team formed by the Shaofu family order, the son felt that it was not a good thing.
Now that my son wants to make money, there is obviously an obstacle. Tomorrow, when my mother enters the palace, I have to talk about this matter with my mother. Those who are not open to the eyes of the Shaofu should be replaced if they should be replaced. "
Master Li closed his eyes and rested his mind. After a while, he said, "We'll talk about this tomorrow. Don't mess around, be careful to give others a hand."
Li Dalang said, "Could my father really be afraid of that King Ning? Concubine De has a little prince, and King Ning and King Zhao will all stand aside. When you meet our Li family, you should obediently admit defeat."
Master Li angrily said, "Absurd! That's the prince, the prince, how can you and I offend at will. How old is the little prince, and how old is Prince Ning, will the really big palace be rounded and flattened by you? You? , don't be too arrogant. That's the palace after all."
"Father taught me."
Li Dalang said so, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Concubine Li De's favor, coupled with the smooth birth of a little prince, surrounded him with all kinds of flattering villains. It has made Li Dalang develop an arrogant mentality.
In his eyes, except for the Son of Heaven, no one is older than the Li family.
Even if it is the prince, when he sees him, Li Dalang should be polite and dare not put on the spectrum of the prince.
A mere madam, dare to set up a trick to deceive him, steal money from him, and seek death?
He didn't bother with that Mrs. Zhao.
Isn't Yuhua Lane being remodeled, so he will start with Yuhua Lane first.
He wanted to stop the Yuhua Lane renovation project, and asked that Mrs. Zhao to obediently spit out the sweet pastry of Yuhua Lane.
Li Dalang resigned from Master Li, so he asked his confidant to take care of him and ordered him like this.
The confidant is in charge of things and understands them. He has often done this kind of thing in the past two years, and he has long been familiar with it.
...
In the dead of night, a group of masked men in black came to Yuhua Lane.
The renovation project of Yuhua Alley is being carried out in an orderly manner. The house, which is called a model house, stands at the entrance of the alley and can be seen at a glance.
The construction site is full of various building materials, all of which are flammable products.
A masked man in black showed a hideous smile, "Hurry up and get started. When you're done here, go to Wanhualou to eat and drink spicy food. Sister is up to you to choose."
"okay!"
A few people lit torches, and the next step is to burn Yuhua Lane.
Burning Yuhua Lane to ashes, but to see how Mrs. Zhao still makes money.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the flames rose into the air, there was a flood of water.
puff!
A bucket of water was poured head-on, extinguishing the torch in the hands of the masked man in black.
"Who?"
"what happened?"
The masked man in black was shocked.
boom!
Dozens of torches were lit, and Song Zheng stood condescendingly in the center of the construction site, "Take all the people down."
Roar!
The guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and they were not merciful in their actions. Whenever there is resistance, the stick will be hit like raindrops, and it will make you cry.
In a blink of an eye, all seven or eight masked men in black were subdued, and none of them escaped.
Song Zheng stepped forward and motioned left and right.
The black cloth on the masked man's head was removed from left and right, and everyone showed their true faces.
Song Zheng saw a familiar face and laughed.
"Isn't this Li Guanshi? It's really flooded the Dragon King Temple. Keep Li Guanshi behind bars, he is an important person."
"Yes!"
"Song Zheng!" Li Guanshi gritted his teeth, "Since you know my current identity, you'd better let me go. Otherwise, my boss will pursue it and tell you to walk away."
Song Zheng laughed, "Your boss is not the Li family, do you think Lao Tzu will be afraid? Do you know why Lao Tzu is here tonight? Because my boss has long expected that you and your boss have bad intentions and will do it sooner or later. I have been waiting for you at the construction site for half a month, and tonight I will finally arrest you and bring them to justice. Take them all away!"
"Song Zhen, you let me go, everything is negotiable. Otherwise, everyone will not have a good life."
Song Zheng laughed loudly, "I just want to see how you make my life difficult. Don't be lenient when you take it away."
It turned out that Song Zheng and Li Guanshi had known each other as early as when they were hanging out on the street, and they could be regarded as old acquaintances.
After the Li family made a fortune, Li Guan was clever and recognized the family. By doing what he likes, he got into the Li family and did an errand.
Relying on his wickedness and eloquence, he gained the attention of Li Dalang and was promoted to the position of steward, specializing in doing some shameful things for Li Dalang.
Since Gu Jiu began to deal with the Li family in a planned way, Director Li came into sight.
The matter of Yuhua Lane will reach the ears of the Li family sooner or later.
With Li Dalang's temperament, sooner or later he will do something to Yuhua Lane.
Song Zheng stayed in Yuhua Lane every night, waiting for Manager Li. Fortunately, it is summer now, and there are more mosquitoes in Yuhua Lane at night.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally let him wait for Manager Li.
Li Guanshi, as Li Dalang's confidant, specially did some shameful things for Li Dalang.
After arresting Steward Li, as long as he prys open his mouth, he can get the iron proof that Li Dalang has taken his life seriously.
Song Zheng led people to detain Steward Li with seven or eight people and directly entered the prison of Shaofu Prisoner.
Everything that follows is going according to plan.
...
Early the next morning, Li Dalang went to the yamen as a businessman as usual.
Manager Li did not return on time, and he was not worried. It is estimated that he was unconscious after drinking flower wine.
When sending people to do things, you always have to give some benefits. Li Dalang thinks he is very knowledgeable.
When he wanted to come, it was a piece of cake to take down a mere Yuhua Lane.
At the same time, Li's mother successfully entered the palace with her waist card to meet Li Defei.
She told Concubine Li of the whole story, adding fuel to it. I hope Concubine Li De can come forward and give a hard lesson to Mrs. Zhao from Prince Ning's mansion.
The fact that Concubine Li De has been able to mix up to this day is naturally not something that her brother Li Dalang can compare with.
She was more deeply in her mind, and did not fully believe what her mother said.
"Mom will go back first, this palace will send someone to investigate this matter."
"What are you investigating? All this was done by the Mrs. Zhao. The mother sent someone to call the Mrs. Zhao and give her a hard lesson. Let her quickly get out of Yuhua Lane, and also the Zhenbaozhai. Let it out."
Concubine Li De's face sank, "Did the mother regard the royal family as a hall of words in this palace? You also said that she is the wife of the king of Ning, and the granddaughter-in-law of His Majesty. A harem woman in this palace calls people into the palace for no reason. You When Prince Ning's Mansion and Concubine Xiao Shu are vegetarians? Mother, don't want to talk nonsense, this palace has its own decision on this matter."
"But, that Mrs. Zhao set up a trick to deceive your elder brother, isn't that the case?"
Concubine Li De raised her eyebrows slightly, "When did this palace say it? Since she dared to pluck the hair off the tiger's head and cut off our Li family's fortune, this matter can't be done like this. But how to do it, it is up to this palace to say. Forget it. You go back and tell the big brother, tell him to take it easy, this palace has his own ideas."
"The lady should be quicker. Don't wait for that Mrs. Zhao to make money before starting, it will be too late."
Concubine Li De smiled contemptuously, "Even if she earns the money, Ben Gong has a way to ask her to spit out all the money."
When Mother Li heard this, she immediately felt relieved, "That's good, that's good. I'm relieved with the words of the mother."
After a pause, Mother Li said again, "Miss, you have to take care of your health."
Concubine Li De also eased her emotions and said softly, "Don't worry, mother, this palace has always been taking care of her body."
Mother Li smiled in relief, then lowered her voice and said, "That Jiang Shuyi is not a good thing, and the niece should have distanced herself from her. And the Jiang family, I asked someone to inquire about it, and it was a broken house. Even if you get an official in the capital, you will go there. Not on the table."
Concubine Li Dexin said that the Li family was also broken and settled back then, and it was also not on the table. Until she entered the palace and was favored, the Li family could have a place in the capital.
Her face sank, and she said, "Mother, please don't interfere with what this palace is going to do. If you don't understand the affairs of the harem, you should say a few words less, and don't listen to the nonsense of the elder brother. Come, send Madam out. palace."
"This this……"
Mother Li was a little flustered.
Concubine Li De said with a blank expression: "After my mother goes back, take good care of her body. Don't bother about the other things. I don't want to hear anyone questioning my decision in the future."
Mother Li was suddenly frightened and had to bend down, "The minister's wife obeys."
Concubine Li De didn't help her up, and didn't give her a second look, she just let Mother Li be sent out of the palace.
A little palace maid followed Mother Li out of the palace, sneaked halfway, and went to Zhong Cui Palace to meet Jiang Shuyi.
"Qi reported to Empress Shuyi, Mother Li entered the palace and took the opportunity to slander and make Concubine Vi away from you. She also scolded that Empress's family was broken and could not be placed on the table."
Jiang Shuyi was annoyed, it was not the first time that the old man had made a joke in front of Concubine Li De.
The old stuff in her mouth naturally refers to Mother Li.
Jiang Shuyi asked blankly, "Apart from this matter, what else did Mother Li say?"
"It was also said that Mrs. Zhao robbed the Li family's business and asked the concubine De to come forward to clean up Mrs. Zhao."
Jiang Shuyi's heart tightened, and she asked calmly, "What did the concubine De Concubine say?"
"Niangniang said that Madam Zhao should spit out all the money she made, and she also told Mother Li not to act rashly."
Jiang Shuyi nodded, "It's hard for you to take a trip in person. You should go back to work quickly so that no one will find out."
"Thank you madam."
Jiang Shuyi sent the confidant palace maid to the little palace maid, and a thick purse came into the hands of the little palace maid, there were hundreds of taels.
Satisfied, the little palace maid sneaked back to work without disturbing anyone.
Jiang Shuyi thought about it for a while, but still called Zhou Miao and asked him to send the news to Gu Jiu.
Zhou Miao asked, "Niangniang, this time, Concubine De Concubine and Mrs. Zhao are directly facing each other. Are you sure you want to stand on Mrs. Zhao's side? Don't forget, now that you are in the palace, you still have to rely on Concubine De. Mother's protection."
Jiang Shuyi gritted her teeth, "According to your opinion, Ben Gongquan doesn't know anything? Let the concubine Virtue clean up Mrs. Zhao?"
Zhou Miao smiled, "Niangniang might as well guess, how will Concubine De Concubine clean up Mrs. Zhao?"
Jiang Shuyi thought for a while, "It's nothing more than three ways, starting with the harem, starting with the palace, and starting with the Gu family."
"Exactly! And the biggest possibility is to start from the palace. The wind by the pillow is very strong. As long as the concubine Virtuous is blowing the wind in His Majesty's ear, Mrs. Zhao will be able to eat and walk around."
"What do you mean, Mrs. Zhao loses this time, and I want to stand by and watch?"
