Concubine Mad Queen

The man's face was hidden in the gauze hat he was wearing, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his gloomy and cold voice was faintly ruthless at this moment.

"What are the shops in the capital that have been asking for money recently?"

The kneeling man took out a booklet from his arms, and respectfully handed it to the man in the gauze hat: "Yes, master, this is sorted out by my subordinates. It should occupy about [-]% to [-]% of the book here. There are still some secrets. The subordinates still need to continue. investigation."

The man was flipping through the book in his hand, but he couldn't see his face clearly, nor could he see the joy and anger on the man's expression at this time, but after a while, the man sneered and stroked the book a few times: "Continue to investigate, The rest will be done in these few shops."

"Yes, master." The man replied respectfully, stood up slowly, flipped through the book, but saw that there were several traces drawn by his fingertips on the originally smooth book, and several connections were connected. behind the name of the store.

But the man thought about the origin of these shops, but most of them were shops that would flow from the Chen and Hu houses. The locations where these shops are located are still very good in the capital, but for the Chen and Hu houses. These few shops are not talking about losing money, but they are not that profitable. The shops that are really profitable will not want to sell them if they kill Chen and Hu.

And these are only temporary. They use their ideas for working capital, and some are just released, but they are only rented, and they don't want to sell them. They will take them back when the time comes. These are the big ones.Coupled with a few guaranteed deals, as long as this period of time is passed, the merchants led by the Chen and Hu families will be even more troublesome, not to mention this time, it will be done well , they can even use the name of longevity brand to get more help.

It is said that this matter is only in response to Emperor Tianxuan's call, but in fact, there are a few businessmen who do not value fame and fortune, and they will get more if they have fame and fortune, but as long as they are in line with normal behavior, it is not a big deal.Officials have official methods, businesses have business ways, common people have common people's ways of life, no one is more noble than others, and no one can influence the lives of major groups. These are the attributes brought by people in various positions.

At the same time, with all these advantages and disadvantages, they have a lot to do.

The man got the booklet in his hand and stepped back to leave. The man in the gauze hat was the only one left in the room. The man sat quietly in the hall with his hands lightly placed on both sides of the chair. Sitting on the chair, his body began to twitch slightly, but at this moment, on the back of his hand that was holding the chair tightly, there were blue veins stretched tight, like ugly centipedes.

At the same time, there was a "whoosh" in the room, and a figure suddenly flashed out. The figure fed a pill to the man in the gauze hat, and the man slowly calmed down, but compared to the calmness before, his breathing at this time It was hurried and messy, for a while, only his own breathing was left in the room, and after a while, the man's breathing gradually stabilized, but he fell into an even greater silence.

"Heh..." The man chuckled, his voice full of treachery and unpredictability, such a chuckle made the air in the room even more sluggish.

Looking at the man in black standing silently on the side like a piece of wood, the man in the gauze hat suddenly laughed at himself and said, "Do I look like a ghost?"

The expression on the face of the man in black remained unchanged, he didn't even look at the man, but his tone was surprisingly serious: "The master is just sick, and the master will always exist like a god in the hearts of his subordinates."

The man in the gauze hat looked at the man in black and said coldly: "Are you also such a sweet-hearted person? I never knew that you would flatter and flatter me!"

The man in black remained expressionless, and said seriously: "What the subordinates say is psychological, not just about belonging, the master will always be a god in the hearts of the subordinates."

The gauze hat man didn't speak anymore, but instead pressed his shoulder: "Really, for my uncertain master? I really want to kill you right now!"

The man in black finally raised his head and looked at the man in the gauze hat with sincere admiration, but he didn't speak any more.

The man in the gauze hat seemed to be bored by the look, and he waved his hand directly. The man in black looked at the man in the gauze hat again, then knelt down at the man in the gauze hat, and then dodged, not knowing where he was hiding.

The man in the gauze hat sighed, tightened his grip on the chair, then let go, his voice was low and hoarse as if he was muttering to himself: "I'm back, I'm really back!"

In Hu Mansion, Hu Xichang looked at Hu Xiguan who was sitting in the upper position with embarrassment: "Brother, selling all the shops will really damage the power of Hu Mansion." After speaking, Hu Xichang looked again and sat beside him, But like a transparent person, Hu Xitong, the younger brother who sits and does not move, "What is Xitong thinking, tell my elder brother."

Hu Xitong's face turned pale, but he moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he was hesitant, he moved his mouth for a long time, but he didn't utter a word.

Hu Xichang looked at such a weak and incompetent Hu Xitong, his eyes were full of disgust, but he turned his head to look at Hu Xiguan with a face of disapproval.

Hu Xiguan looked at his younger brother Hu Xichang's angry expression, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes: "If you don't ask for some out, how can you solve the problem of Hu's mansion, and if you ask out, it's just a temporary solution to Hu's mansion. There is nothing to worry about, if you still want the shop in the Hu Mansion, you will naturally get it back."

Hu Xichang still had great dissatisfaction on his face: "Brother, as the richest man in Tianxuan, Hu's family status is an authoritative proof. Such behavior will make people laugh behind their backs, and even shake Hu's reputation in everyone The position in my heart, this move is really unwise."

Merchants value fame and fortune, and they get [-]% of the profits. They may try their best to fight for it, but at the same time, at this time when they are officials in agriculture, industry and commerce, and business is cheap, gaining a reputation is really not beneficial. The strength of the Hu Mansion is also a kind of They worked hard.

These reputation things are really easy to give up, but difficult to establish. Besides, as the richest man for many years, oh, the Chen Mansion and the Hu Mansion are both among the richest men, and they have been fighting for the number one position, but they also has always been the same by default.

It's not in his position, so he can't understand it at all. It's just that a title has some contentious meaning, but in the eyes of some people such as Hu Xichang, it's a matter of throwing it away, and it's an extremely embarrassing thing. Just worthless.

Obviously, Hu Xichang thinks so about this point now, Hu Xichang said anxiously: "Brother, didn't you once boast that you want to take down half of the shops in the capital..."
