Chapter 36 Collaborating with the enemy and treason
The next day, the boss of the trading company came to Sheng Qingyuan in person and returned all her money to her.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at the silver on the table and asked, "Boss Qian, what do you mean?"
The owner of the commercial bank was embarrassed: "Mrs. Shen, please don't embarrass me. It's not that I don't want to sell to you, but the people above won't sell it to you. I, an ordinary citizen, can't earn two meals for food and clothing. Please forgive me."
After saying these words, the owner of the trading firm left quickly, as if a savage beast was chasing him behind him.
Looking at the business owner who was as round as a winter melon, he looked at the silk and satin suit.
Is it not easy to make two meals for food and clothing?
Tsk.
"It seems that someone sent him a message, telling him not to sell the shop to me. Moreover, I am afraid that all the major trading houses in the city have been ordered." Sheng Qingyuan tapped her index finger on the table.
Du Shujun snorted coldly: "Zuo Mang has always been such a villain, so there is no surprise."
Sheng Qingyuan didn't feel angry at all.
She was not surprised at all that Zuo Mang would do such a thing.
It's nothing more than forcing her to take over these shops.
She could still give away all the rewards he gave her to charity the night before, but it would be unreasonable for her to do business in the shop he gave her.
"There are so many shops, I don't believe I can't find a suitable shop." Sheng Qingyuan said.
Meng Kun raised his hand to pick up the pastry on the table and put it into his mouth. While eating, he said: "If you want a shop, why do you have to go to an outside business? Why don't you go find your husband?"
"My husband? Shen Zhao?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao also walked out and met Sheng Qingyuan's eyes.
He also heard what Meng Kun just said.
"You want a shop from me? But... I don't have a shop, and all the money is with my wife." Shen Zhao said.
After hearing the last sentence, several other men present looked at him subconsciously.
Shen Zhao didn't feel that anything he said was wrong at all, and when he met the eyes of these people, he was confused.
Meng Kun sighed, "Fortunately, you married a wife who knows how to run a household and make money, otherwise the national treasury will be worried in the future."
Sheng Qingyuan looked at him quietly.
Meng Kun picked up a whole plate of snacks on the table and jumped up immediately, "Don't get me wrong, I am praising you, I am praising you! It is his luck that this child can marry you, and it is also our luck!"
Only then did Sheng Qingyuan withdraw her death gaze.
This old man is good at everything, his knowledge and martial arts are all top-notch. He is also very attentive to Shen Zhao and he can't wait to teach him everything he has.
The only thing that's not good is that he doesn't keep his mouth shut, and he doesn't hold back when it comes to hurting others.
"Old man, you just said that you can ask His Highness for a shop. What do you mean? He is poorer than me now." Du Shujun asked.
Sheng Qingyuan struck out with a knife, and Du Shujun immediately shrank his neck.
Meng Kun said: "Your Highness's maternal grandfather and mother-in-law are very smart people. How could they not leave some backup for Your Highness?"
Meng Kun looked at Shen Zhao and took out an old pawn ticket, "Go to Huiji Pawnshop and give this to him. If the pawn shop clerk doesn't recognize this, tell the shopkeeper that he will know."
Du Shujun asked: "Huiji Pawnshop? This pawnshop has been open for many years. No matter what it has experienced, it has never failed. Everyone has been speculating about the owner behind this pawnshop. Could it be that he is the former Duke of Zhenguo?"
Shen Zhao narrowed his eyes and carefully put away the pawn tickets.
After Shen Zhao left and went to the pawn shop, Meng Kun picked up a piece of snack and wanted to throw it at Du Shujun, but then he was reluctant and kicked him directly, "Let me ask, why do you have so many questions? You Do we have to mention the matter of Duke Zhenguo in front of him?"
Du Shujun touched his nose and said innocently: "I, I forgot about it all of a sudden. Besides, His Highness is not such a fragile person."
Meng Kun glared at him: "You still said that!"
Du Shujun did not dare to speak.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at Meng Kun with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
Meng Kun: "…………"
Don't look at him, he doesn't know anything!
When Shen Zhao came to Huiji Pawnshop and took out the pawn ticket, the old man's expression changed immediately, and then he pretended to be calm and said to him: "The guest's pawn ticket has been around for a long time. I need to look for it carefully." Okay, guests may as well come in and wait."
"Okay." Shen Zhao followed the old man and walked in.
When he came to the back hall, the old man said to him: "Master, please sit down for a moment."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to ask the shopkeeper's old man, but he suddenly turned around, and the aura around him suddenly became sharp, and the wind from his palm was directed towards Shen Zhao's face.
Shen Zhao's expression remained unchanged and he turned sideways to avoid his blow.
The old man struck Shen Zhao again, and the palm wind was two points more powerful than the previous blow.
Shen Zhao took action to confront him.
With this move, the old man's expression changed again.
After ten moves in a row, the two of them couldn't tell the difference between the winner and the loser. However, the old man suddenly took several steps back and finally landed firmly on the ground. He saluted Shen Zhao and said, "Sir, please sit down for a moment."
His words were the same as before, but his tone was more respectful.
After about a cup of tea, an urgent step sounded.
Shen Zhao followed the voice and looked at the person who came. He was of medium build and looked ordinary, the kind that you wouldn't find in a crowd, but with every step he took, it was easy to tell that he was a practitioner.
His skill is probably better than that of the old guy just now.
The moment Ye Yuxing saw Shen Zhao, his expression was obviously very excited, but he forced himself to calm down.
"I heard that this little brother is very skilled. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to compete with you?" Ye Yuxing tried his best to suppress his inner excitement and asked Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao looked indifferent, "I came today because I want to redeem what belongs to me."
Ye Yuxing carefully held the old pawn ticket in his hand and asked, "How did you get this pawn ticket?"
"My master gave me a person who claims to be unscrupulous." Shen Zhao said calmly.
Ye Yuxing couldn't help but be stunned when these four words "nothing is formal" came out, and then he couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
That's how the old-timer would describe himself.
"This thing is too valuable, please come with me." Ye Yuxing made a "please" gesture to Shen Zhao and said respectfully.
Shen Zhao followed Ye Yuxing through several corridors, turned several corners, and came to the yard at the back.
"The shopkeeper is also good at Qimen Shield Technique?" Shen Zhao asked casually.
Ye Yuxing was a little surprised, and even more pleasantly surprised: "Young master, have you seen it?"
Shen Zhao said calmly: "If there was no one to guide me and I rushed in rashly, I would have encountered a dead end after walking for a while, or I would have been trapped in there and couldn't find a way out."
"Young Master is so awesome, you can tell at a glance." Ye Yuxing praised.
"Then I wonder if the young master will be able to see through it next?" Ye Yuxing made another gesture of invitation.
Shen Zhao had no intention of retreating and calmly walked into the formation in front.
Qi Men Shield Technique was not originally one of the lessons that the emperor had to learn, but he happened to read a book and saw it, which he thought was quite interesting, so he asked the late emperor for help. The late emperor also indulged him and specially found a master in this field for him, that is, His grandfather taught him personally.
Meng Kun also knows these things and is very accomplished. He saw that he also had related books these days, so he also read some and asked some questions. What he was unable to understand when he was young because he was too young, he has now understood them.
The formation in front of him was of the same lineage as what his grandfather had taught him, and he had already found the exit in less than a cup of tea.
Ye Yuxing praised: "Young master is really awesome."
"This formation is called Shadow Formation. My grandfather taught me when I was nine years old." Shen Zhao said in a calm voice.
Ye Yuxing felt a sore nose and made a "please" gesture to Shen Zhao again, "Master, please come here."
Arriving at the study, Ye Yuxing closed the door and without saying a word, he knelt down to Shen Zhao and gave him a big salute: "Ye Yuxing has met my little master!"
"Uncle Ye, please get up quickly." Shen Zhao hurriedly helped the person up.
"The little one can't afford the little master's words, Uncle Ye." Ye Yuxing said in fear...
"I have many questions in my mind, and I need your help to answer them," Shen Zhao said.
Ye Yuxing stood up after giving Shen Zhao a big gift, "Young Master, do you want to ask about this and Master?"
Shen Zhao nodded.
Ye Yuxing was not surprised and explained to Shen Zhao: "A few years ago, the master was an official here and stayed here for two years. During these two years, the master secretly established this place. The master has always been loyal to the court, but the master knows very well , even if he was deeply favored by the emperor at that time, he still had to leave a way out for himself, so this is where he came from."
Shen Zhao asked: "What exactly does the "here" you mentioned include?"
Ye Yuxing said: "It includes enough wealth to buy the entire Fushou City; including a total of eighty-two people hidden in Fushou City; including an army of 100 people who can always be worth one to a hundred."
The three included all made Shen Zhao's heart tremble slightly.
Ye Yuxing said: "My master is very lucky. The little prince he supported back then believed in him from beginning to end. Even until his death, he never questioned him in the slightest. My master originally thought that if everything went well, then he would stay here." The accumulated power can be dissipated until the disappearance of the little master. When the eldest prince at that time and now His Majesty took over, the master knew that sooner or later this place would be used, so before there, he could only remain silent. Just save it."
"What happened to the exile from Zhenguo Palace?" Shen Zhao clenched his fists and asked through gritted teeth.
After he regained his memory, he went to inquire about the news about the Zhenguo Government. The news he got was that three years ago, the Zhenguo Government had his house confiscated for collaborating with the enemy and treason. It was originally intended to implicate the nine tribes, but he thought of the Zhenguo Government. After years of military exploits, he was eventually converted into confiscation of his home and exile.
Collaboration and treason?
Even if Chu Xuanjin collaborated with the enemy and treason, it would be impossible for his maternal ancestors to collaborate with the enemy and treason!!
There was a bit of hatred in Ye Yuxing's eyes: "Of course it's slander! The emperor and the queen mother were so afraid of you back then. If something happened to you back then, they would be the biggest beneficiaries. But the Zhenguo Palace is still there, and what happened to them Their position was unsettled, so naturally they had to find ways to eradicate the Zhenguo government office."
The joints of Shen Zhao's clenched fists turned white, and he sarcastically said: "If you are so determined to eradicate the Zhenguo Palace, how can you be so kind and still save your life?"
Ye Yuxing sneered, "Where are the good intentions? They didn't dare! Even though they produced the so-called evidence at that time, people in the public were still willing to believe in the innocence of the Zhenguo Palace. Countless people were willing to ask for proof of innocence for the Zhenguo Palace. The Dog Emperor had to be exiled instead."
Shen Zhao closed his eyes.
Although the court is in turmoil, fortunately, the people are still there. They all know who is good for them and who protects their homeland.
