"Well, can you find out who redeemed it? What's the background?" After thinking about it, Zhao Shirui asked.
"I heard about it." The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was so nervous precisely because he knew who it was.
"Who?" Zhao Chengrui asked calmly. At this time, he had already thought of several ways to deal with his colleagues.
"Yes...it's General Cao Ping, the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace." The servant finally told what he had heard, and then looked at his master nervously.
Zhao Chengrui's originally angry face changed suddenly after hearing the answer, "What did you say? Who? Cao Ping?"
"Yes, sir, that's him. His butler came to our place to buy things before. I know him. He was the one who was busy directing us there."
Then there is nothing wrong with this. If it were not Cao Ping's business, his housekeeper would not come forward in person. When he thought of this, Zhao Chengrui felt his eyes darken, and his body staggered involuntarily.
The servant beside him quickly reached out to support him so that he didn't fall.
"Go back, go back to the store." Zhao Shirui said as he felt a wave of headache.
If someone else cheated that store, he would inevitably suppress him. After all, he has been in the rouge business for so many years and is already familiar with the business. Even if he uses commercial means to suppress the other party, it is nothing more than making less money, he will still be confident.
You can defeat the opponent.
But it would be different if it were the Cao family. Behind them was Queen Cao, the mother of the world.
If others don't come to suppress him, he will be thankful to God. How dare he try to influence the other person's thoughts.
The most important thing is that in the rouge shop opened by Cao's family, I don't know how many people will take care of the business just to please him. Maybe many old customers will also be lost. In this way, his income will be greatly reduced.
The so-called cutting off people's money is like killing their parents.
At this moment, Zhao Shirui was really angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. After returning to the store, he looked at the housekeeper of the Cao Mansion who was arranging items for decoration. He could only curse him in his heart and hope that this would not happen.
It was just Cao Ping's whim. When he found out that he had invested a lot but earned very little, he would probably stop voluntarily.
...
In the early morning at Su Mansion, everything was as usual.
It's like nothing happened last night.
After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Su Shi went to the north of Maxing Street to see Cui Yuan off.
The people from the Secret Intelligence Department had already left one after another when Liu Er and the others were thrown back to Zhao Shishe's house. After learning that Su Shi had a good guard around him, the lieutenant officer in charge of them, Yan Yingyuan, gave the order to remove Su Shi from surveillance.
Firstly, the Secret Intelligence Department has limited manpower, so it should not waste resources on a dispensable person like Su Shi.
Secondly, Su Shi has already entered the capital, which means he is under their noses. It will be much easier to know his whereabouts, and there is no need to send people to keep an eye on him all the time.
Third, even if Su Shi is protected by experts, if one of their men is accidentally discovered by Su Shi and accidentally injured, it will be a big joke.
For those who are followed by experts, Secret Agents are very cautious in their actions. This actually has an important relationship with the fact that their strength has become increasingly weak in recent years.
In fact, in the court, many ministers had already proposed the dismantling of the Secret Intelligence Department. For this reason, Renzong Zhao Zhen, who had always listened to opinions, also made concessions. Although he did not dismantle this department, he had allocated some funds in the past few years.
The funds are getting less and less, so the number of personnel in the Secret Service has also been reduced accordingly.
Fortunately, the Secret Service has never done anything embarrassing, so it has been retained to this day. But once it is discovered by someone following someone, or even accidentally injured, it will be very embarrassing, and it will cause trouble.
It would be strange to go to the official house of Zhengjian in Emperor Xin and eat their good fruits.
After various considerations, Yan Wenying made an order to withdraw from following Su Shi.
As soon as the people from the Secret Service over there left, Lao Youtiao reported the matter to Su Shi. Compared to tracking, Lao Youtiao's ability was far beyond that of ordinary members of the Secret Service.
Knowing that no one was watching him, Su Shi breathed a long sigh of relief. Although even with these people around, he would do whatever he should do, but without these people, when Su Shi started doing things
He can be more relaxed, at least he won't have to worry about being easily exposed when he goes to Shangcangshan in the future.
Cui Yuan was surprised when Su Shi sent him off in person. At this time, he already regarded Su Shi as his mentor.
The ancients were still very smart, and some of the things they created may not be outdated even if they are passed down to future generations, and may even be very powerful. But there is one flaw, and it is a fatal flaw, and that is when teachers teach students
, always like to save a hand.
In this way, if you keep one hand and he keeps another, the final result is that many good things will be lost.
For example, Su Shi's various methods of treating trauma would not be easily revealed to others in the eyes of many holy hands. But Su Shi taught them so generously. For this reason, Cui Yuan felt grateful.
"After you go to Shangcangshan, you should teach others what you know and don't hold anything back. Of course, don't worry, I will teach you more when I have the opportunity in the future." Su Shi was afraid that Cui Yuan was playing games.
As usual, I gave a few instructions intentionally.
"Remember, the more students you teach, the more time you can spare to learn the new things I teach you. On the contrary, if your students are not qualified, then you will not have time to learn the new things in my hands.
."
Cui Yuan was immediately moved by the earnestness of these words, "Young master, don't worry, after I go there, I will definitely teach everything I have learned to those who want to learn, and I will never hide anything."
"Very good, I believe in you. One day, when your students are all over the world, that will be the time when you will truly become famous. At that time, you will be famous throughout the ages." Another great blueprint was given by Su Shi.
After drawing it, Cui Yuan could not help but nod his head and was very excited.
Even Zhang Miaoshou, who was watching him off, was a little excited, "Master, why don't I follow you there too."
"You can't do it now. You still need to stay in the capital and find more holy hands. But don't worry, after your mission is completed, I will also give you a set of things that will make you absolutely satisfied. I will keep them worthy of you.
All the efforts now.”
Hearing that it was absolutely satisfying, Zhang Miaoshou immediately laughed.
No one knows how many things Su Shi has in his hands. But one thing is certain, that is, as long as it is something good that Su Shi said, it is definitely a good thing, and it is something they have never seen before.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Miaoshou stepped up his decision to recruit more holy hands. He wanted to complete the task earlier and see the set of good things that would definitely satisfy him earlier.
Cui Yuan finally left, leaving the capital full of longing.
When Cui Yuan left, he was followed by three mule carts, which were nominally the things he was bringing back to his hometown, but most of them were things Su Shi had prepared for going up Cangshan Mountain.
They had already sent a batch up the mountain before, and now they were just taking this opportunity to send some more. Su Shi was very careful when doing these things, and even had a well-documented reason every time he went out of the city to deliver goods.
The current Su Shi is not powerful, and he is not even close to being powerful. What he needs now is to develop in a humble way. During this process, of course, he cannot let others catch him.
Not to mention, someone was actually paying attention to him. Pang Ji had been staring at Su Shi.
Pang Ji is an ambitious man. Although he got the benefits of cigarettes from Su Shi, this does not satisfy him. He can only get 20% from it. If possible, he wants 30% or even more.
It is best to monopolize this source of wealth.
The purpose of keeping an eye on Su Shi is to find the channels through which he can purchase goods.
Furthermore, Zhu Ji's disappearance made Pang Ji suspicious. He believed that the matter must be related to Su Shi, but he didn't find enough evidence for a while, so he thought about looking for some clues so that he could get it once.
If Su Shi has any clues, this will give him a lot of chances to win for greater interests.
It's just that Pang Ji is very careful in doing things. He is also afraid that those who send people to follow Su Shi will be discovered and expose themselves. In this case, it will offend people to death, and all the benefits obtained now will not be available.
Guaranteed.
Therefore, unlike what the Secret Service did, Pang Ji just asked people to keep an eye on everything that might be related to Su Shi, but did not send anyone to follow Su Shi. If Su Shi sent Cui Yuan away, he would naturally do it.
There is no way to know.
But he still knew that the people sent by Zhao Shishe were thrown back. He also broke out in a cold sweat. As expected, there were experts around Su Shi. He was also glad that he did not send people to follow Su Shi. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago.
If exposed, he may also lose Su Shi's friendship.
...
Royal Palace.
After King Jing Zhao Xi's health improved day by day, Queen Cao asked Renzong Zhao Zhen if she could consider hiring a teacher for King Jing.
Zhao Zhen naturally agreed to this. If nothing else happens, the Song Dynasty will eventually be handed over to Zhao Xi. It is inevitable that he will learn something now.
In this way, Zhao Xi was called to Yanfu Palace after eating in the morning. When he came back from there, he had a sad face.
Zhao Huirou had nothing to do and came to Zhaoren Palace. She was thinking about playing checkers with Zhao Xi and learned what Zhao Xi wanted to study. At that moment, she said excitedly, "This is a good thing. You are a prince. It is best to enroll in school early."
It is inevitable, otherwise how will you manage the Song Dynasty in the future?"
