Just when Fang Xuanling was still hesitating about why His Majesty was like this, Chen Zhengtai came back.

Chen Zhengtai looked very happy, but he actually got a large stack of IOUs.

This IOU was in my hand and I felt an indescribable sense of intimacy, just like Chen Zhengtai’s own child.

However, even if you are reluctant to leave, your child will always grow up and leave his father's arms.

Chen Zhengtai solemnly handed the stack of IOUs to Fang Xuanling and said sincerely: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Dai, this is what His Majesty meant, and Mr. Chen also had some personal thoughts. Look, I brought 30,000 yuan of money, and these 30,000 yuan are my Chen family's coffin..." He worked very hard, Chen Zhengtai pretended to squeeze out a tear.

Although this idea failed in the end, it can be seen that Chen Zhengtai is a person who is not good at pretending and hypocritical.

Chen Zhengtai continued to say earnestly: "Since Mr. Fang and Mr. Dai are going to buy silk, 10,000 guan is to buy silk, 30,000 guan is also to buy silk. I will ask the second master to bring the other 20,000 guan. By the way, I will buy 11,000 guan for our Chen family. In addition, the more than 5,000 guan is to buy silk that His Majesty wants to buy, a total of 16,000 guan. I am not wrong? If there is still a fraction, how could I let the second master go to the air? This money... I gave the second master a tea at that time."

Fang Xuanling took the large stack of IOUs and was speechless for a moment.

What's going on?

He didn't understand at all.

But now that His Majesty has an oral order, he has to follow it.

So he nodded to Chen Zhengtai: "Prepare the car."

The group came from Chang'an excitedly, but now they are back in shame.

Along the way, everyone didn't say anything, and they sat in the car, guessing His Majesty's thoughts in their hearts.

Your Majesty is getting more and more unable to see through.

And... it's getting late now, Your Majesty asked me to wait to buy it. I'll be able to return if I'm afraid it's dark. Could it be that Your Majesty has been waiting for us in Erpigou?

Who am I? Now I have become a businessman.

So, Fang Xuanling, Dai Zhou and others couldn't help but shake their heads.

Everyone arrived in Dongshi together. In order to save time, Dai Zhou had already let the transaction chief Liu Yan of Dongshi wait here.

When Liu Yan saw Fang Xuanling and others coming, he was scared to death. This was the prime minister, so he hurriedly saluted: "The officials did not know that the officials were visiting the East City and could not welcome them... It was really..."

"Where is the silk shop?" Fang Xuanling asked with a gloomy face.

Liu Yan hurriedly said, "Please..."

He led Fang Xuanling and others to a long street in a row of silk shops: "These dozens of shops are all time-honored brands in Chang'an City, and they have always operated silk. Fang Gong... I just don't know..."

Fang Xuanling did not hesitate and took the lead in a shop, and the people behind him followed suit.

The shopkeeper inside still stood behind the counter in a mess, not very enthusiastic about the visitor. He lowered his head and deliberately looked at the accounts. He didn't look up when he heard a guest coming in.

"Hey." Dai Zhou showed his official power: "How many feet of silk are you?"

The shopkeeper ignored it and still looked down at the book, but said lightly: "Thirty-nine text per foot."

"Come on, I'll ask for all the goods you have here." Dai Zhou was a little anxious, and he rushed to Erpigou to report his life.

The shopkeeper was stunned, but raised a strange gaze, and then looked at everyone with a smile.

Seeing that everyone was either rich or noble, he barely smiled: "Oh, do you want to buy silk?"

"That's right, what are you talking about? There's a big deal for you." Dai Zhou's face turned pale.

The shopkeeper stared at them with a more bizarre gaze. After a long time, he said: "Sorry, the silk in our store has been sold out."

"What?" Dai Zhou was stunned and said sternly: "What are you saying? You clearly have goods here, but there are still on your shelf."

The shopkeeper sneered.

Thirty-nine words per foot, why don’t you go and grab it? Do you know how much you lose? You even said... as much as you want. Doesn’t this mean that as much as you have, you will lose as much as you have?

In fact, the shopkeeper was still very eye-catching, and he could tell that the other party was extraordinary at first glance.

But... it is like robbing money like this, like killing a parent. This is clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke trouble and want to embezzle his own goods. If you meet such a person, this shopkeeper is not easy to mess with.

You should know that behind which silk shop in Dongcheng City, there are no big figures in Beijing. Otherwise, how could you dare to do such a big deal in Dongcheng City? Behind this shopkeeper is Li Yuanjing, His Highness of Zhao.

Li Yuanjing was the sixth son of the Supreme Emperor. Although Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuanjing, who was only eight or nine years old at the time, did not involve the struggle of the heirs of the royal family. In order to show that he was still harmonious with his brothers, Li Shimin especially favored King Zhao Li Yuanjing. Not only did he not allow him to be a vassal, but he also kept him in Chang'an and appointed him as the governor of Yongzhou and the general of the Right Guard.

The governor of Yongzhou is the immediate superior of the chief of the Yongzhou Chief Tang Jian. Because of the rules of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the chief officer of the Jingzhao region must be a clan minister to be the clan minister. Li Yuanjing, as Li Shimin's brother, naturally became the candidate. Although Tang Jian was actually responsible for the actual affairs of Yongzhou, nominally, the governor of Yongzhou Li Yuanjing had a transcendent status, and no one in the capital did anything to him.

The court wanted to calm prices. Even if this silk shop had a huge relationship, he naturally knew that His Majesty attached great importance to this matter, so he cooperated with the mayor and the trading chief sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other officials to maintain the price of the East City at 39 pm. As long as the silk transaction was traded, it had been secretly carried out in other places.

But it's different now.

Now you people really want to buy silk for thirty-nine quotas. This is a goods worth more than seventy quotas. You can lose more than thirty quotas if you buy as much as you have. Wouldn't you pay for it?

The shopkeeper understood the seriousness of the problem because... it was a robbery of money.

The shopkeeper said coldly: "If you don't have the goods, don't sell them?"

"What?" Dai Zhou was a little anxious, turned around and finally found Liu Yan in the crowd.

Liu Yan hurriedly stood up, took out his official power, and boldly said: "How can this silk not be sold?"

Liu Yan recognized the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately began to guess the other party's identity. It seemed that the other party had a big background, so he decided to calm down: "Then... I'll ask you all the guests, how much silk you want."

"Ten thousand horses!" Fang Xuanling finally couldn't help it. He was unwilling to stay here with a merchant.

“…”

The shop suddenly became particularly quiet.

The shopkeeper didn't say a word, just looked at Fang Xuanling coldly.

He originally wanted to calm down the situation, because no matter how big the relationship behind him was, there was no need for conflict. As a businessman, harmony makes money.

But now... when the other party reported 16,000 pieces, he already knew that the other party was no longer a transaction, but a robbery. How much money would it cost? More than 10,000 yuan, you might as well rob it.

So he didn't hesitate: "Get out!"

"What, you are bold." Liu Yan was frightened. This is the boss of Fang and Dai, and this shopkeeper... is crazy.

The shopkeeper's eyes were red, and murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.

To be honest, no matter how good the temper is, he wants to kill people now. Even if the Emperor comes, he will still be able to kill them, because he has done some calculations. Even if he gives all his shop to the other party, he will not be able to make up for the loss. What's more, once he has lost so much, how should His Highness Zhao have to explain? This is a loss for His Highness Zhao's money, and His Highness Zhao must cut himself alive.

The shopkeeper shouted loudly: "Get out of here, I want to embezzle my silk, I tell you the truth, don't think so. Who do you think you are, what are you? A group of beasts that are worse than pigs and dogs. Do you really think I am weak and easy to bully? Come on, do you still want to buy cloth? Come on, come on, come on... all come on... search the guys. Who dares to take out a piece of cloth from here today? No one standing here will want to live!"

Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up the scale rod under the counter, looking like he was about to kill someone.

He was careless, and several friends rushed out from the backyard. They were surprised that the shopkeeper who was usually kind to others was so fierce today.

At this time, he followed the shopkeeper's instructions and didn't care about anything and immediately copied various weapons.

In the early Tang Dynasty, people who did business wanted to go on business. Because of the chaos in the world before, most of the mates brought by them had to hold sharp swords to prevent the wealth and goods from being robbed by the rioters and bandits. Although the world is peaceful, the legacy is still there. So, these guys pulled out the guys and stepped forward viciously: "Shopkeeper, you say, we will kill them now, give me an order."

Although Fang Xuanling has also experienced the battlefield, he has been living a pampering life over the years, not to mention that he is old, how could he withstand such fright? When he saw those guys, he took out the dagger and pointed it at him.

Although he seemed calm and composed, as if Mount Tai collapsed before him and his expression remained unchanged, he was already panicked.

Why...what happened?

Dai Zhou was a little confused. Is this a business? I remember that I came to buy silk, but in a blink of an eye... I turned against each other.

The last few ministers were standing at the door, but now they had already left the shop in shame.

Changsun Wuji ran the fastest, and he still had to keep a useful body.

Liu Yan was dumbfounded: "You... aren't you afraid of the king's law... you are so brave. You... do you know who this is?"

"Bah!" The shopkeeper walked over the counter, grabbed Liu Yan's ear, and picked it up. Who cares about you as the transaction chief at this time? He spitted on Liu Yan's face and cursed angrily: "What are you? But the small official in the city, I have been tolerating you for a long time. You are a dog-like thing, thinking that with an official position, you can pretend to be powerful in front of me? Is it what I will bear to you today... what if I bear to bear you?"
