Chapter 27: Although the grand master is old, he is not old and his eyes are dim(1/2)
"Why is Dong You here?"
Shi Lei pretended not to know, with a hesitant look on his face, and retracted his raised left leg.
Zhang Wen was overjoyed to see this.
It must be because Dong You is the prince's son that the prisoners of Western Chu would throw the rat weapon into the trap.
"Master Dong, save me!"
"Who are you...?"
Panting, Dong You trotted to the door and looked at Zhang Wen curiously.
It's not that he's pretending to be confused.
In fact, Zhang Wen was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his face was covered in blood. He could not make a sound or breathe, and he was no different from a dead person.
On the other hand, the second prince next to him was wearing a purple python suit, and he could be recognized just by his clothes.
"Your Highness, why did you faint?"
Dong You hurriedly swung his sleeves a few times to push away Shi Lei and Sun Gengdu, and commanded the left and right to lift a door panel.
The guards carefully looked at Shi Lei and found that Shi Lei had no intention of stopping him. Then they quickly moved His Highness to the side to check the injury.
"Is His Highness seriously injured?"
"If anything happens to His Highness, it will be the veteran's fault."
Dong You covered his face with his sleeves and plucking his eyes using the method taught to him by His Highness the Crown Prince.
When he lowered his sleeves, his eyes were already red, and the guards were moved by the sight.
"Don't worry, Grand Master Dong. Your Highness is only injured. Two of his ribs are broken. He will recover after a few days of rest."
“Very good, very good!”
Dong You breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you don't die.
It would be difficult to carry out the affairs assigned by His Highness the Crown Prince after his death.
Zhang Wen howled anxiously when he saw that Dong You ignored him and showed so much attentiveness to the second prince.
"Master Dong, I am Zhang Wen. Just now His Highness asked you to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to get a palm print to buy my medicine. Please carry me out quickly!"
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang, disrespectful and disrespectful."
Dong You said politely, but still did not let his men lift the door panel open.
Instead, he unhurriedly pulled out a roll of silk from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Wen.
"Young Master Zhang, take a look at it. This is the contract document for buying medicine from the Second Highness. If it is correct, just stamp it."
Silk in triplicate.
The household palm prints on it have already dried.
"How long has this been? If you carry me out first and then stamp it, can I still refuse to admit it?"
Zhang Wen was so angry at this stubborn old man that he almost vomited blood again.
When Dong You heard this, he cupped his hands in the direction where the second prince was lying.
"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. If Mr. Zhang suddenly changes his mind, why should I take the risk of offending General Shi and others to save you from danger?"
"you!"
The article cannot be refuted.
This is the truth, but when Dong You said this at this time, he was suspected of taking advantage of the situation... No matter what, the contract document was signed anyway, and the medicinal materials belong to the second prince.
Being robbed had nothing to do with him.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Wen hurriedly glanced at the contract documents.
The above content is very simple:
The Jinling Zhang family was ordered to sell all the medicines in their house and medicine fields under their name at a price of 10%...
"10% out of 10%?!"
Zhang Wen roared in disbelief and choked out a mouthful of blood.
Dong You, why don’t you go grab it?!
The price of medicinal materials is high. Although Yi Cheng can still make money, will he only earn a few gold by risking his life and staying in Aurous Hill?
He also asked him to sell the subsequent medicinal materials at this price. This was even more deceptive than robbing the Chen family and the Jin family of food!
"Master Zhang, do you have any doubts about this contract document?"
Dong You pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.
Having robbed food several times, he no longer blushes when facing these profiteers who want to make shady money.
"Teacher Dong, although you are old, you should not be dazzled by old age...Pfft!"
Before Zhang Wen finished speaking, the door panel sprayed out another mouthful of blood mist under the heavy pressure.
Shi Lei, take action.
"Why are you talking to Master Dong?"
Shi Lei raised his left leg and threatened fiercely.
"If you dare to speak nonsense again, next time it won't be as simple as spitting out blood. Believe it or not, I will ask you to vomit out your blackened heart and liver?"
letter!
Zhang Wen knew that Shi Lei had this ability, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it. He smiled apologetically at Dong You and said: "Master Dong, His Highness just now said clearly that he would buy my medicine at ten times the usual price. You didn't remember clearly?
Ask the guards..."
"ten times?!"
Dong You's voice suddenly became sharp and harsh, and he looked at the second prince with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"His Second Highness uses the money from the Ministry of Revenue to buy medicines from the Zhang family, which is equivalent to using money from the national treasury, which is His Majesty, to buy medicines. If he doesn't sell them at a reduced price, he still has to pay ten times the price?"
"Does His Highness want to unite with your Zhang family to betray the country?"
"No! I never believe that His Highness would buy medicine at ten times the price, let alone that your Zhang family would dare to sell medicine at ten times the price!"
Dong You looked at the guards with sharp eyes.
"Did you hear that His Highness wanted to buy the Zhang family's medicine at ten times the price?"
"..."
The guards who had just returned from the Gate of Hell because the Second Prince was rescued by Dong You did not dare to say a word when faced with Dong You's questioning.
Ten times the price is really outrageous.
Only the second prince can make the final decision on this matter. Who dares to bear the charge of being a traitor?
"Hurry up and testify for me! Otherwise, when His Highness wakes up, you will not be able to reap the benefits!"
Zhang Wen saw that the guards were silent and he could only be manipulated by Dong You. He was extremely anxious.
If the second prince hadn't called for the door and lured him with ten times the price, he would never have opened the door!
How can this group of people cross the river and demolish the bridge now and do nothing to save them?
At this time.
Su Chanyi stepped forward and saluted Dong Youfu.
"Master Taishi, the daughter of the people heard it."
"???"
Dong You originally wanted to use strong tactics to force the article to be sealed.
I paid 10% of the price to buy the medicine, but I didn’t expect that some people actually wanted money for their lives.
"Girl, are you sure you heard me?"
Facing a young girl of similar age to His Royal Highness, Dong You couldn't help but kill Shi Lei.
We can only hope that her conscience is still there and she will not be deceived by the second prince into a black-hearted person.
"Miss Su, thank you Zhang for speaking up!"
When I get the money, I will definitely give Miss Su ten gold coins as a thank you!
"When the daughter of the people heard what His Highness the Second Highness said, she bought the medicine at 10% of the price. What the Grand Master said is correct."
Su Chanyi lied without even blinking.
Bai Zhi, who was standing next to her, turned her back and covered her mouth, "Hum Chi, Hum Chi" to suppress her laughter.
Dong You was stunned.
