Huo Xi followed Kan Er to the private room of the restaurant, where a young man sat.
Kan Er introduced to her: "This is the treasurer Dui of Langguang Pavilion."
Against the big shopkeeper? Huo Ximing remembered the names of Liyikan, Ergan, and the third class. This person must also be Mu Yan's confidant.
I don’t know if his grandfather liked the gossip in the Book of Changes, so he left those names to his grandson. He nodded to the other party and sat down opposite him.
Duiba heard a lot about Guangfengshui, a small club, and came here because he was really curious.
At this time, seeing the young lady's appearance as a seasoned businessman, I was amazed. He is in charge of the young master's general affairs, many people are frightened when they see him, but this little lady looks calm and composed.
"Where's your young master?" Mu Yan usually settles the money with her, but she didn't expect to see him when she came back this time.
"The young master is busy investigating the case and files."
"Investigate the case? Your young master is not officially in office, but he just came out to observe the experience of the chief executive, and now he is investigating the case?"
"This time the case is quite unusual, no one wants to get involved, so the commander of Jin Yiwei arrested the young master and sent him to work."
"What kind of case is so rare that your young master, a fledgling Nei Yan bodyguard, should do it." Huo Xi was a little puzzled.
"The young master is a good inner guard, but he is also a member of Jinyiwei, and he has to be dispatched by the commander of Jinyiwei."
Huo Xi nodded, feeling that it was a bit bad to inquire about important cases of Jin Yiwei, so he stopped talking.
Dui Ba quite liked this little lady, and smiled at Kan Er: "Everyone in the capital is talking about this case, and Mr. Huo's family just returned to the capital. I'm afraid they don't know about it yet, so you can tell her about it."
Kan Er wanted to talk about it, but Mrs. Huo suddenly stopped asking, thinking that she was not interested.
Seeing that she wanted to hear, he started to talk about this strange case.
This case happened in Lanxi County below Jinhua Prefecture. Nalanxi County gathers water from three rivers and is also known as the thoroughfare of seven provinces. Its geographical location is very important. There are a lot of businessmen coming and going. The local people took advantage of the convenient terrain to start a business, and their lives were very easy.
There was an illiterate farmer named Mu Taigong who planted a few acres of land in the countryside and worried about the fertilizer in the field every year.
Seeing people coming and going in the county, I saw business opportunities.
I ran to the county magistrate and said that excreting everywhere is easy to breed mosquitoes and flies, and also spread epidemics. I plan to build some free public toilets for everyone to use. As soon as the county magistrate heard that the county didn't need money and effort, and even beautified the county, he immediately allocated some land for him.
The Mu Taigong invited people to build several public toilets, painted the walls, bought calligraphy and paintings as decorations, and invited the local admonishment to inscribe the name "Xiyantang".
lobbied in the county, saying that going to the toilet is not only free, but also toilet paper. Nowadays, people just use grass leaves and bamboo chips to solve it, so they are not willing to use straw paper. The inside was tidied up again, so those who lined up to go to the toilet every day could queue for several miles.
Taigong Namu sold these excrement at a price of one hundred cents and one stone, and used them as fertilizer for farmers. Within a few years, he became a small rich family.
There are a few Xiao Xiao pee eyeing the wealth of Mr. Mu.
From time to time, he came to the door to blackmail, and then went inside to make trouble, throwing excrement on the wall. Grandpa Mu reported to the county magistrate, beat them up, and fined them.
The leader named Xu Yi held a grudge.
Remembering Wei Lv’s rule of “Sue first when you know, the official is the one who captures, and no property will be given”, thinking about suing him for treason, and when the official master loses his money, he can still give himself a sum of money.
Thinking that the county magistrate was on the side of Mu Taigong, he passed the county magistrate and went to the magistrate to file a complaint.
Leapfrogging a complaint requires a 80-year-old board first. In order to get money, Xu Yi took it down, so the magistrate believed him.
The magistrate arrested many people for interrogation, but he didn't find out that Mr. Mu was plotting against him.
The matter is pending. Thinking that Emperor Yongkang hated treason the most, he didn't dare to take his own ideas. So he reported the matter to the capital. It was stabbed in front of Emperor Yongkang layer by layer...
After hearing this, Huo Xi became numb and was speechless.
Just because of the word "yan"? So many words can no longer be used.
My mind immediately turned quickly, did I commit any taboo by naming my name? After thinking about it for a long time, it seems that there is no such thing, so I let out a sigh of relief.
Dui Bajian Huo Xi first rolled his eyes, then tilted his head in thought, and said with a smile, "Ms. Huo finds it strange?"
"This is so strange, I don't know what to say." Huo Xi rolled her eyes again.
Duiba laughed out loud. This little lady is too funny.
"Then how is the case now? That Mr. Mu has been a farmer for several lifetimes, he is illiterate, can he think of treason?"
Dui Ba touched the teacup: "Your Majesty doesn't believe that Taigong Mu will seek rebellion, but the person who inscribed 'Xiyantang' to him at the beginning was a famous local teacher with many students. Maybe he acted in the name of Taigong Mu. What about treason?"
Huo Xida was speechless: "Build a public toilet, and everyone squats together to plot rebellion? Doesn't it smell bad?"
Duiba smiled: "Then who knows."
To seek rebellion is not a word from the superior. When Fang Daru was punished by the Nine Clans, the literati in the world have not recovered yet. Maybe His Majesty thinks that the literati in the world want to vent their anger on Mr. Fang.
Huo Xi was stunned for a long time, shaking his head violently, this world is really too dangerous. If you disagree, you will be killed, your house will be ransacked, and you will be guilty if you say you are guilty.
Still have to hold the thigh.
Chao Duiba smiled obsequiously: "Is your product enough to sell? Do you want to get more?"
Dui Ba raised his eyebrows: "I'd rather take over all of your goods. But the young master said I should leave some for you, so as to bring popularity to your shop."
Looking at Huo Xi, her face was full of admiration: "I really didn't expect that Mrs. Huo is young, but she has an excellent eye for picking goods. The things she bought sell very well in our Langguang Pavilion."
Huo Xi was a little proud of hearing this.
Looking at the box in his hand, he wondered if he would give some more money for it.
She only sold rock sugar and white sugar this time, each one hundred shi, and the price was nine thousand taels. In exchange for the equivalent value, how can you sell it for double the price? That's twenty thousand taels.
She got three shipments back this time. Not a lot. She won't agree to earn less.
Dui Ba sensed her gaze, and pushed the box towards her: "Ms. Huo is quite satisfied after looking at it."
Huo Xi happily took it, opened it and counted.
"Fifty thousand taels? So much?" Huo Xi's eyes widened.
Dui Ba nodded: "Here is the list of goods and the selling price, Mrs. Huo take a look."
Huo Xi took it over and looked at it. She traded a lot of spices this time. Jewelry, jade, handicrafts and the like are all valuable things.
Very satisfied. Put the list away.
Thinking that I now have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in my hand, I can think about going to sea.
"I plan to go to sea next year. Do you have any intentions in Langguangge? If you are interested, you can go to sea together. If you don't, I'd better find other merchants earlier."
