The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 173
A dish of bacon and vegetables narrowed the distance between grandparents and grandchildren. Influenced by Qian Qing's memory, Shangguan Qing sincerely regarded Zhou Cang as his grandfather, poured wine for Zhou Cang's vegetables, and threw Chu Qianhan aside.

Chu Qianhan twirled the wine glass, wanted to snatch Shangguan Qing back several times, rolled his eyes, first toasted Zhou Cang a glass of wine and then asked, "Have you heard about my Seventeenth Brother?"

Zhou Cang nodded: "I heard."

"Senior, do you have any clues about the murderer?"

Zhou Cang narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Want to know?"

Chu Qianhan nodded heavily and said: "Seventeenth brother has been lively since he was a child, and he doesn't like to fight for power. This time, he is going to leave the capital and go to the northwest. I don't understand who wants to kill him."

Chu Qianhan couldn't figure out how to kill a person who voluntarily escaped from his rights.

Zhou Cang didn't answer, but looked at Shang Guanqing again.

Shangguan Qing also said: "Qing'er also wants to know who killed Seventeenth Brother and why?"

Zhou Cang sorted out his thoughts and said, "Actually, it's also your fault."

"Blame me?" Shangguan Qing was puzzled.

"You want to use salt rolls to restore coal, and you plan to buy 1000 million shi within half a year, and you have broken the rules of salt production from two ocean farms. I don't know how many people have lost their money."

Shangguan Qing explained: "In the past, the imperial court also issued Yanyin through the entry system. I just changed the style of Yanyin."

"It's just that you changed it, which cut off many people's money, such as your grandfather and me." Zhou Cang pointed to himself and said, "Our magic machine uses fake salt to buy and sell salt in various salt farms every year. With enough money, no one cares about the authenticity of Yanyin, if you change the style of salt rolls, the previous methods of counterfeiting will fail.”

Speaking of which, Zhou Cang took out a ten-stone salt roll from his arms, which was exactly the salt roll that Luantaisi released after purchasing raw coal, pig iron, grain, etc.

"Look at the one you made. There is no way to imitate it. Many people are asking about the method of printing salt rolls made by the craftsman. I think that some people's income will shrink in at least three to five years."

Shangguan Qing felt that the simple salt rolls were too delicate in the eyes of many people.

Shangguan Qing complained: "I haven't broken the root. Except for the salt fields in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, the rest of the salt fields are still using the old salt."

"You haven't thought about it, but Chu Huaitian has thought of it. Within a month, he will order to change all the salt in the world into salt rolls."

"It's really messed up." Shangguan Qing looked at Chu Qianhan and said with his eyes: Your father is really unreliable.

Chu Qianhan was also very helpless, his father was always thinking about it, always making some incomprehensible decisions, or decisions that he thought were right.

Zhou Cang put the salt rolls on the table and continued: "In order to get enough salt rolls, those who operate the salt must first control the coal yard, and the fief that Chu Qianyu asked to seal is the largest coal mine in the northwest. , Some people are worried that he will monopolize the mining of the coal field, so they kill people in advance to avoid trouble in the future."

Zhou Cang concluded: "This can be regarded as murder and robbery."

"It's really my fault." Shangguan Qing fell silent.

Chu Qianhan was also silent. He suddenly thought of something and said, "My tenth brother, Chu Qianren, owns shares in several coal yards in the northwest. Why hasn't he been attacked?"

"Your family tenth, Chu Qianren, was originally a member of that circle. He knew the rules and would not destroy them. Who would touch him if he had nothing to do?"

Zhou Cang's answer made Shangguan Qing and Chu Qianhan frown.

From the perspective of interests, Chu Qianren is very suspicious.

Zhou Cang waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much, just wait and see, whoever holds the most shares in the coal yard in the future will be the person behind the killing of Chu Qianyu."

Shangguan Qing shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily true." She said that Chu Qiankang came to borrow money, "In the future, the largest shareholder of the Northwest Coal Yard is likely to be Chu Qiankang. You need to spend money to sell shares, and 120 million gold is not a small amount.”

"Did you lend it to him?" Zhou Cang asked nervously.

"No, your granddaughter is not stupid." Shangguan Qing briefly stated the content of the loan contract again, Zhou Cang nodded repeatedly, and praised: "Good job, if Chu Qiankang doesn't change his mind, both of you can I'm afraid that Chu Qiankang will be too greedy if he gets benefits."

Chu Qianhan said: "The fourth brother is not that kind of person. He likes to win with stability, and taking too many risks is not his style."

"So, who is the most suspect?" Suddenly a voice sounded from the roof beams, the three of them looked up and saw Chu Huaitian appearing there at some time.

The expressions of the three of them all changed, and Chu Huaitian's strength had improved again, and he was able to touch in silently.

Zhou Cang cursed inwardly and stopped talking, picked up the wine glass on the table to drink, Shangguan Qing got up to salute, Chu Qianhan stayed still coldly, determined to break away from Chu Huaitian.

Chu Huaitian jumped down from the roof beam, Shangguan Qing waved the waiters to go out, he went to the seat that belonged to Shangguan Qing and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted them one by one.

"It tastes good, why don't you guys talk about it, tell me, who is most suspected."

"Chu Huaitian, it's not good to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. You are the king of a country anyway." Zhou Cang sarcastically said.

Chu Huaitian said indifferently, "As long as I can find the murderer, it's worth my sacrifice." He counted with his fingers, "The suspects now include the fourth, sixth and tenth suspects. Do you need to include you?" He said Looking at Chu Qianhan, his eyes were full of kindness. He needed this excellent son to return, so he made a little joke.

It's a pity that Chu Qianhan didn't find it funny, and said coldly: "If father doubts, you can add me."

"Qianhan." Shangguan Qing secretly pulled Chu Qianhan's sleeve, telling him not to confront Chu Huaitian, Chu Qianhan put away his provocative expression.

Chu Huaitian scolded the brat inwardly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip before letting out a sigh of relief.

"You haven't answered me yet, who is the most suspect?" Chu Huaitian asked again, looking at Zhou Cang who was sipping tea.

Zhou Cang didn't come back immediately, Shangguan Qing said after looking over, "Your sixth son."

"Sixth?" Chu Huaitian's expression was full of uncertainty.

"Don't make random guesses, I don't have any definite evidence, everything is just speculation." Zhou Cang continued to drink tea.

Chu Huaitian got up and walked out, came and went in a hurry, disappeared after a few brisk steps, Zhou Cang said to Chu Qianhan: "Your father is sick, don't learn from him."

Chu Qianhan nodded seriously.

Shangguan Qing sneered and said, "You guys are serious, why arrange people like this." But seeing Zhou Cang and Chu Qianhan's serious expressions, she realized that they were serious.

Well, she also admits that Chu Huaitian's acting style is very fast, an emperor would actually lie in the corner of someone else's house.
