I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 355 Visiting the door
He Sheng put the detailed information of the merchant Qian's family on the table, "The business of the Qian family has always been managed by Mrs. Qian behind the scenes. Qian Shipeng is a dandy in Linzhou Prefecture. He has several shops under him. Because Zhou Zhifu The rule is strict, and these dandies in Linzhou Prefecture dare not go out of their way."

The huge Linzhou Prefecture has several counties under its jurisdiction. Although in the eyes of other prefectures, the entire Longyou Road is a barren land, a barren place with poor mountains and rivers, but because of the business of the Qian Family Firm, the Linzhou Prefecture , a bit richer than other state capitals.

"The most profitable of the Qian family is Buzhuang?" Under the candlelight, Zhan Feiyu quickly flipped through the information in his hand.

The Qian Family Commercial Bank has a lot of businesses, and there are many shops. There are shops for basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. The largest bank in Linzhou Prefecture is the property of the Qian Family, but what these shops actually earn is just the price difference.

Madam Qian firmly controlled the two most profitable businesses of the Qian family. One was Linglong Cloth. Although the workshop was far away on Jiangnan Road, Madam Qian was the owner behind the scenes.

Every year, the cloth from the cloth shop will be transported to various shops in Longyou Road for sale, and some defective cloth will be purchased at a low price. These cloths are cheap, and no one buys them in Jiangnan, which is rich in cloth, but they are sold in Longyou Road. goods.

In addition, the Qian family's ready-to-wear shop also sells high-end fabrics and some exquisite and gorgeous ready-made clothes, which are flocked to by the ladies and young ladies of Longyou Road.

After all, these styles of clothes are all from Jiangnan, and are also worn by officials and wives in the capital, so wearing them represents identity and face.

He Sheng added some charcoal to the charcoal basin, poured tea and put it on the table, "In addition to Buzhuang, the Qian family's racecourse is also under the control of Mrs. Qian."

He Nuan was temporarily imprisoned, and Zhan Feiyu could handle these trivial matters by himself, but He Sheng was here, so naturally there was no need for Zhan Feiyu to serve tea and water by himself.

The Qian family was in the reselling business, buying goods from other prefectures at low prices through caravans, putting them in shops on Longyou Road, and then selling them at high prices, earning the difference.

It is also because of the relationship between the Qiu family and the third house, the yamen in various places, and people of all kinds and ranks will not make things difficult.

Some bandits also saw the flag of the Qian family's caravan because of Madam Qian's generosity, so the bandits would not stop them halfway.

Otherwise, if a general caravan encounters banditry, not only will the personnel be killed or injured, but the goods will also be looted, and even the horses will be robbed.

Zhan Feiyu pondered, his eyes fixed on the information on the Qian family racecourse. Mrs. Qian did have foresight. In her early years, the racecourse was of average size, and the horses she raised were only for caravans.

However, the horse farm has developed in recent years, and Mrs. Qian bought some high-quality stallions from the barbarians at a high price. Although there are no sweaty horses, they are much better than ordinary horses.

When these horses are transported to the south of the Yangtze River or the capital city, they are priceless in the market, and they are all robbed by others. Those who can afford BMWs are the children of aristocratic families. A layer of protection.

"Madam Qian's hands hold the most lucrative cloth and horse farms, so it's no wonder she can firmly control the Qian family's business." Zhan Feiyu closed the documents in front of him.

The racecourse is closely related to the caravan, and the leaders of the caravan are all Madam Qian's diehard loyalists, which means they have firmly grasped the lifeblood of the Qian family's business.

"Can Shipeng dig deeper into more details?" Zhan Feiyu asked.

Qian Shipeng was born by Aunt Huang, and Mr. Qian loves his house and Wu, so although Qian Shipeng is a concubine, he also owns a restaurant, a tea shop, and some miscellaneous small businesses. The Qian family also makes a lot of money every year.

"Still investigating." He Sheng and the others only started to investigate Qian Shipeng in the past few days. Even though the spies of the Forbidden Dragon Guard are all-pervasive, the time is too short to find anything.

"Miss, Qian Shipeng secretly contacted Zhang Zhifu, probably to take the opportunity to seize power." He Sheng added that Mrs. Qian used to have the relationship with the third wife of the Qiu family, and she has been in charge of the Qian family for many years, so her position is unbreakable. .

But now it's different, something happened to the third house of the Qiu family, it might not be easy for Qian Shipeng to seize power by himself, but if he took refuge in Zhang Zhifu, his chances of winning would be great.

He Sheng's deduction is indeed reasonable, but there are still doubts, Zhan Feiyu said: "If Qian Shipeng has been pretending all these years, does he really have the guts to sue Ah Nuan?"

With the backing of Prefect Zhang, it would be easy for Qian Shipeng to take down the Qian family in one fell swoop, but in front of Xueshi Gu and the Yang family of the general's mansion, what is Prefect Zhang who is about to retire?
Offending Zhan Feiyu, even with the escort of Zhang Zhifu, once the Yang family of the general's mansion intervenes, Qian Shipeng will never be able to afford to go around. If he is a veritable dude, it is normal for his vision to be low.

But if Qian Shipeng had been pretending in front of Mrs. Qian for many years, it meant that he had a city in his heart, so he would never sue Zhan Feiyu for more than the gain, and he would give his own hand for this.

"The person behind Zhang Zhifu came from the palace, maybe a certain prince, and this is what Qian Shipeng valued." This is what He Sheng is most worried about now.

He also didn't understand before, but compared to relying on Xueshi Gu, naturally the prince in the palace has a better future, and the crown prince has not yet been established, so maybe he can make a fortune as a dragon.

Not to mention Zhang Zhifu and Qian Shipeng, those ministers in the court are also ready to move?

From the merits of the dragon, it is just around the corner to become a marquis and pay homage. Gu Xueshi is the best example. Once the heart is moved, it is natural to seek wealth and wealth!

"Continue to keep an eye on Zhang Zhifu. I will write a book and send it to Uncle Yang." Zhan Feiyu picked up the pen. Zhang Zhifu has taken refuge in a certain prince in the palace, and now Zhang is still imprisoned in the secret room of the Zhang family. Uncle Yang should be prepared in case the Zhang family will turn against each other in the future.

"By the way, Ah Nuan also sent two people over there to watch." Zhan Feiyu said without raising his head. Who knows if Qian Shipeng or Zhang Zhifu will do something secretly, Zhan Feiyu dare not take risks at all. .

He Sheng should go down.

Two quarters of an hour later, He Sheng exited the room, handed the letter to the person who appeared in the dark, and hurriedly sent it to Yang Shoucheng in Weizhou Camp.

……

The heavy rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and the sky cleared up. Although it was still chilly, walking in the sun was rare and dry and comfortable.

There was a sound of smashing and smashing, and the maids and women serving at the door looked at each other, looking at each other's nose and heart, and no one dared to dissuade them.

After all, for the past two days, the young lady has been smashing it several times a day. When the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop brought the dishes, the eyes of the smile were all closed.

Dong Yan glanced at it, signaled the trembling servant girl behind to follow her, then opened the door and walked in, as if she didn't see the broken pieces of porcelain, "Miss, it's time for breakfast."

Getting angry and smashing things is also hard work. Even though Qiu Jingyuan has a bad temper, she is still a 13-year-old girl after all. She will be very hungry, but her delicate face is still covered with frost.

"Clean up." Dong Yan came over with a food box, two three-layer food boxes, and six plates of steaming breakfast, not to mention the undelivered soup.

"Is Qian Shipeng crazy? He dared to go to the Yamen to sue Zhan Feiyu. He wants to die and I want to return to Qianzhong Road safely!" Qiu Jingyuan asked in a sharp voice, obviously venting her anger on Dong Yan, who told her He is also from the Qian family.

Dong Yan was not angry either, she put the bowls and chopsticks away, and then said softly: "The maidservant has sent a letter back to Linzhou Mansion, after two days the people from the caravan arrive, and the lady can go back."

The bodyguards who escorted Qiu Jingyuan were all hired by Qian Shipeng. Now that Qian Shipeng is caught up in the lawsuit, Dong Yan is not at ease to let these bodyguards escort him, but if he hires people directly from Suzhou Prefecture, Dong Yan Still worried, so I had to transfer people from the caravan.

Although everyone knew that the third house of the Qiu family was about to collapse, but the sage did not make a decree one day, and the third house was still named Qiu. Who can guarantee that the chief envoy, Mr. Qiu, will not come forward to intercede?
So Mrs. Qian still had to make sure that Qiu Jingyuan could return to Qianzhong Road safely. Besides, no matter what the third room was, Qiu Jingyuan was just a girl in her boudoir after all, and her crimes were not as serious as her children, so she couldn't be left alone.

When Qiu Jingyuan had almost finished her breakfast, Dong Yan said, "Miss Zhan sent someone to deliver a post this morning, and I will come to visit you in time."

"What?" The voice suddenly rose, and Qiu Jingyuan's complexion turned pale after being frightened, and she was no longer as domineering as she just smashed things in panic.

Dong Yan looked at Qiu Jingyuan who was so frightened that she wanted to run away speechlessly, and had no choice but to comfort her: "Miss, don't panic, if Miss Zhan asked her teacher to ask her a crime, she wouldn't send someone to send a greeting card."

According to Qiu Jingyuan's domineering and arrogant behavior in Qianzhong Road, if she wanted to trouble anyone, she would bring someone to the door directly, and she would send a post first according to the rules of the family.

"That's good." Qiu Jingyuan nodded, also aware of her gaffe, and forced her expression to say: "It's Qian Shipeng who caused the trouble, and it has nothing to do with me."

When there was the first room-robbing conflict at the inn that day, Qiu Jingyuan ran away with someone, she dared not offend Zhan Feiyu even though she had the heart of a bear.

It's just that Qiu Jingyuan didn't expect that Qian Shipeng would not give up after being beaten up, and after getting in touch with those dudes in Suzhou Mansion, she took someone to the inn to find trouble.

In the end, the right hand tendon was broken, and Qiu Jingyuan said she deserved it after hearing the news.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes, Zhan Feiyu is so cruel, he wants people and money, and he has the support of Gu Xueshi behind him. It is a blessing in misfortune that Qian Shipeng was not killed.

But Qiu Jingyuan really didn't expect that Qian Shipeng would dare to file a complaint in court, and the Suzhou Yamen also accepted the case, so Qiu Jingyuan hid in the house like a frightened bird these days, lest Zhan Feiyu would get angry, Then take revenge on yourself.

No matter how arrogant and domineering she was, Qiu Jingyuan knew in her heart that Qiu Feng had escaped, and the third house of the Qiu family was finished. When she returned to the Qiu family in Qianzhong Road, she might never have the glory of the former daughter of the Qiu family.
