When going out, Qingzhi asked: "Miss, should we go to the shipping warehouse today, or go directly to the dock?"
Dushi Shipping has a large warehouse in Kyoto, which contains goods coming and going.
The pier is where ships come and go.
"Let's go to the dock." Qin Rushuang whispered.
No matter how arrogant Liu's people are, they can still make fake accounts. You won't see anything when you go to the warehouse.
On the contrary, there are many goods on the dock and they are all porters, so there are many tricks in it.
After half an hour of stopping and stopping, the carriage finally stopped at the pier.
Most of the wide piers are moored with Duchenne Shipping's ships.
Qin Rushuang covered her face with a veil and was supported by Qingzhi as she walked to the front of Du's Shipment. It happened that two groups of people seemed to be confronting each other.
Qingzhi was about to go up and reveal his identity, but was stopped by Qin Rushuang: "Look at what they are talking about."
The first two people, one looked very young, but must be a steward, wearing the clothes of Du Shi Shipping, were standing in front and arguing with the other one, everyone was red-faced.
The other man is in his fifties, wearing rich clothes. Everything looks good, but he doesn't know how to match it. He is a mess of red and green, which makes him look careless at first glance. He also has a fat head and a big head.
Ears, they are annoying to look at.
Getting closer, Qin Rushuang finally heard the conversation between the two.
The young steward said loudly: "Master Liu, it's not kind of you to do things like this! Although my boss said that there are twenty ships under your jurisdiction, each of these ships has its own cargo. You always put our good goods here."
Take it away, and then just say it’s a loss and put the loss on us, how can it be so cheap!”
That fat man in brocade clothes must be Liu's younger brother.
"That's not what I'm saying. If I make a loss, you can make a profit? I'm not taking responsibility for you. If something goes wrong, just report the loss to the boss. You are just a small steward, so don't get an advantage.
Be good!"
The young steward was so angry that his face turned blue and white: "Nonsense! These high-quality goods are all profitable transactions, and everyone is making money. If you say you can't sell them and you are losing money, who will pay for it?"
Don’t you know what’s going on inside?!”
"So what?" Liu Erye sneered: "This is my own property. I can sell it how I like. I said this calligraphy and painting is worth one tael, then it is only worth one tael! One of your servants advises you to leave it alone.
Too many, watch your head!”
"You're talking nonsense! This is Du's shipping! Open your eyes and see clearly!"
The young steward originally wanted to move out of the club, but Mr. Liu seemed to have heard some joke: "My boss? Are you talking about Mrs. Qin who can't make the decision, or the one who is not favored..."
At this point, he had some scruples and hid Qin Rushuang's name, and then said: "Anyway, my brother-in-law personally ordered this shipping. I'll see who dares to stop me!"
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Here comes someone! Move the goods!"
"That's too much!" Qingzhi was young after all and couldn't hold his temper. When he heard Mr. Liu's arrogant words, he immediately rushed out to argue with him.
"Wait, don't go yet." Qin Rushuang stopped her and said, "Let's take a look."
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, a group of big and thick men behind him moved boxes of goods to another ship, regardless of other obstacles. One man moved a little too much, and the lid of the box was crooked, revealing many cultural objects, calligraphy and paintings.
Seeing this, Qin Rushuang finally understood how Du's Shipping suffered its losses.
She had asked the manager of the bank before. When her mother promised Liu's brother to join in the shipping, she was careful. The ships assigned to Liu's brother were all for transporting worthless dry goods, grain and the like. Looking at it,
The quantity is large, but the goods are actually not valuable. You won't earn much in one trip, and you won't lose much.
The ships managed by one's own people are responsible for the collection of literature, calligraphy, paintings, precious medicinal materials, etc., all of which are of the highest quality.
So the man surnamed Liu thought of a way to forcibly take the goods from other ships and sell them on his own ship. He would take the profits from the sold goods and just record the losses on his account.
The farce ended quickly. Qin Rushuang and Liu's people left and called the young steward just now.
"The boss is finally here. If he doesn't come, the shipping will be eaten up by them!"
The young steward's surname was Zhao. As soon as he saw Qin Rushuang, he started pouring out his grievances.
Manager Zhao had a loud voice and spoke quickly. When he finished speaking, Qin Rushuang felt her ears buzzing.
"Stop, stop, stop." Qin Rushuang made a "stop" gesture.
"Tell me first, who has the final say in shipping now? Second Master?"
"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that I was specially chosen by my wife to manage the shipping for the young lady. However, the one surnamed Liu has the approval of General Qin and Aunt Liu. She uses chicken feathers as tokens all day long. There is nothing I can do about it."
After saying that, he glanced at Qingzhi sadly: "The younger one sent a request for an audience to the palace, but this sister stopped him."
Hearing this, Qingzhi finally remembered who this person was, and said: "This is not the previous relationship between the princess and the prince... I felt uncomfortable at that time, and after refusing for a while, I thought that I would not bother you with these things in the future.
You accepted it, so I refused the next few times..."
After being reminded by Qingzhi, Qin Rushuang finally remembered that it was the first time she had a relationship with Xie Xun. Xie Xun misunderstood that she had drugged her, and the two were very unhappy. She vaguely remembered that someone reported the things on the books, but at that time
She felt really uncomfortable, so she ignored it.
"That's all, now that I know the situation, I won't just sit idly by and ignore it."
Manager Zhao hesitated for a while and then said: "The princess doesn't know something. Although Liu is arrogant, he is also a brainless person. At first, he only cared about eating the food on the few ships in his hand. It didn't hurt or itch, but later...
His son was selected as a scholar and came to Kyoto to give him advice."
"Princess, don't look at that boy from the Liu family who is only eighteen years old. He has a lot of bad intentions. As soon as he came to Kyoto, he came up with tricks named Liu one after another. At first, he was just medicinal materials, but later he even dared to get involved in jewelry, calligraphy and painting."
After listening to this, Qin Rushuang understood in her heart that it turned out that the father and son were working together...
"You stabilize the people below first, and let me figure out how to get rid of these two moths."
"Yes! The younger one is leaving first!" With his employer's approval, Manager Zhao felt much more at ease.
Although the princess looked young and a domestic woman, she somehow made him feel admired from the bottom of his heart.
On the way back to the palace, Qin Rushuang kept thinking about how to deal with this matter. It would be best to remove all the people Liu had planted in her business.
And it must be uprooted so that they no longer dare to covet her things.
After returning to the palace, Qin Rushuang hadn't thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. The servants reported that the princess had a friend coming to the palace, and it was her close friend Yang Waner.
She thought it was just an ordinary meeting, but Yang Waner unexpectedly brought her a big surprise.
