Chapter 357 My son said

The butler cautiously looked out the door, and opened the window to look outside.

Bai Mingyu reacted quickly and hid behind the window, hiding better. The butler saw no one outside, so he went back to persuade the master.

"Master, you can't just open your mouth to say this. If someone with a heart hears it, it will be a disaster."

"It was the imperial court who was unjust to us first, and used our money to bully us instead." Ji Tianbao is completely insane now.

Before, he only dared to have this idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out, because no one thought the same as him, but now someone spoke his mind, which showed that someone, like him, felt that the court was unfair to merchants.

If they can unite, they will definitely turn against this unfair court. What is he afraid of? There may be spies sent by the court in the mansion.

All the newcomers have been drugged, Ji Tianbao looked at the housekeeper, "Why haven't the people sent out come to report?"

The butler wanted to see what was going on, and a few courtyard guards shivering with cold walked in and saluted respectfully.

"Master, those two people have nothing to do. They didn't even find anything valuable in their luggage. They probably got pawned on the way here."

Ji Tianbao dispelled his doubts for the time being, so they are just as written on the paper, wandering here from a poor family.

He waved his hand to indicate that they could leave, the courtyard guard hesitated, not knowing what to say or not.

Ji Tianbao saw that there was a person who didn't move at all: "What else do you need?"

"My lord, my brothers' winter clothes this year are really too cold."

Ji Tianbao looked disdainful, what are you talking about, Ji's family has a big business, as for deducting the money for the padded clothes, the clothes he asked someone to make, he chose the best materials, maybe they are also greedy.

He was so scared that he knelt on the ground: "Master, this year's clothes are really colder than previous years."

Some of them even used the old cotton padded clothes from previous years and changed them into warm vests to wear inside.

Seeing that what he said was true, Ji Tianbao glanced at the butler and asked the butler to see what the problem was.

The butler opened his clothes, cut the opening with a knife, took a handful inside, and brought it to the master.

Everyone sees that the cotton in the clothes is mixed with cotton and leaves. What is going on? !
Ji Tianbao was furious: "This greed has reached the door of the house, you should hurry up and find out what's going on."

The butler received the master's order and immediately went to investigate the matter.

Bai Mingyu was sitting on the tree right now, watching the farce in the room, and returned to the room after it subsided.

There were no candles in the room, and when the guards left, Xu was worried that they would reveal their secrets, so he kindly extinguished the candles for them.

She didn't dare to light it all the time, fearing that the candle would attract the attention of the patrol, so she kept waiting for him in the dark.

When Shen Zhiyue heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately lay down on the table and continued to pretend to be dizzy. Hearing the approach of the man's footsteps, she also smelled the faint scent of sandalwood.

She opened her eyes: "how is it?"

Bai Mingyu said with a sullen face, "The purpose of the Feng clan's visit this time is to provoke the relationship between merchants and the imperial court."

Shen Zhiyue was full of worry, looking at him, according to Bai Mingyu's concern for the country and the people, she would not let the Ji family cause such a big mess, but she only wanted him to be safe and smooth in this life.

"If the emperor investigates carefully, it will not be difficult to find out that Jiangnan's property is related to the father." Bai Mingyu continued.

Shen Zhiyue felt that what he said was very reasonable. This kind of thing would set him on fire. If he didn't pay attention, the crime in the capital would come back again. This time, the excuse would not be so easy to find.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Get to know Ji's family first." Only when you know enough, will you know where your weaknesses are.

The next day, Bai Mingyu deliberately went to the study to look for Ji Tianbao very late. Ji Tianbao knew the time of drug addiction, so he still verbally blamed him.

"Are you acting like a rich man with me?"

"I don't dare, it's just that I was very sleepy last night. I haven't had a good night's sleep since my family fell into poverty. I thought it was something added to the dishes."

Bai Mingyu mentioned it casually half-jokingly, and Ji Tianbao felt a little guilty when he heard it.

He interrupted Bai Mingyu's words: "I've got something to do for you. The cotton in the winter clothes of the subordinates today is second-class. If you get this matter done well, I won't treat you badly."

Bai Mingyu heard the meaning of his words, the clothes were made in Ji's shop and should not be publicized, but this matter must be handled properly.

He took the order and left the study, Shen Zhiyue immediately followed behind him.

Ji Tianbao's study was just facing the corridor at the corner, looking at Shen Zhiyue's tall and straight figure, and her small waist that was tightly grasped.

He stretched out his hand and measured it: "Housekeeper, why do I feel that the servant behind Ming Yu looks so female?"

The housekeeper followed what the master said, and it was clearly a man in disguise: "Master, maybe it's your illusion."

If the master puts his mind on women and puts his mind on business, the Ji family's business will not go downhill.

Shen Zhiyue followed him out of the mansion and asked, "What did Ji Tianbao ask you to do?"

"Some small things, you follow, don't act rashly."

It would be safer to take her out of the mansion than to leave her in the Ji mansion.

Shen Zhiyue pursed her lips, she should be whatever he said.

Bai Mingyu walked into Ji's fabric shop, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him: "What kind of fabric do you want? Our store has the most complete range of styles and patterns."

He went straight to the topic: "The master sent me to investigate why the cotton in the servant's winter is such a product."

If Ji Tianbao can say that, he must have done this before, selling inferior goods to ordinary people with no power.

The shopkeeper thought that the housekeeper had already come to find out, why did the master send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, isn't this matter all over.

"My lord, I look at you with a very strange face. I will believe you when you say it was sent by the master?"

"It's okay if you don't believe me, but you're not afraid of death if you delay the master's order?" Bai Mingyu stood closer and said word by word.

After speaking, seeing the shopkeeper froze, he took out the Jifu waist card with his name written on it: "You can take the waist card and go to Ji's mansion to ask for clarification."

The shopkeeper heard that there was a new thug in Ji's mansion, according to the master's employment habits, he didn't get close so quickly, and he started with small things.

He smiled flatteringly and said: "These are all from our own family. Speaking of which, since the master took over the family business, the best fabrics in this shop have been given to the girl by the master. Buy high-quality cotton and make winter clothes for the servants of Jifu."

"So you mix cotton with leaves?"

"I can't do anything about it." The shopkeeper said anxiously.

Shen Zhiyue raised her head and looked at Bai Mingyu. If she could let Ji Tianbao know through the shopkeeper's mouth that his ability is not limited to thugs, maybe it could make him get closer.

She stepped forward to approach the shopkeeper: "My son said that it can make your store business better."
