Luzhu has definitely been through society and is an experienced woman, otherwise she wouldn’t have the courage.
If it were an ordinary woman who saw Qianqiying, she would definitely be so frightened that she couldn't close her legs.
But Lvzhu not only closed her legs, but also treated her like an old lady with every word, and acted like a slut with every word, suggesting that a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
Of course, it is impossible for an ordinary woman to guard a shop in Bei City.
Fu San stepped forward and said very rudely that Lu Zhu was honest.
"Scream again and I will stab you to death!"
There is no "ambiguity" in this sentence. The main thing is that Fu San lifted up his robe.
Fukuzo was injured before, so he didn't wear that kind of black tights, but wore a loose robe. His right shoulder was injured, so he usually used his left hand. Because he had to use his left hand, he originally had a short knife hidden in his lower back.
It was changed to stick to the outside of the thigh.
If you want to take out the knife, you have to lift up your robe first.
Lu Zhu was really frightened. When she saw Fu San lowering his robe and stabbing her to death, his face turned pale and he didn't dare to scream.
The men and horses from Qianqi Camp also rushed in and quickly blocked the door.
Chu Qing was very surprised. Just checking the account books, this girl was so frightened that she screamed and screamed.
Chu Qing walked over, looked at Lvzhu up and down, and waved his hand: "Find the account book."
Several detectives came over quickly and started rummaging through the boxes.
Luzhu glanced at Fusan in fear, crossed her chest and shouted: "How dare you, there is someone above me!"
"Sei?"
"The man behind me is Mr. Zhang, the right servant of the Ministry of Etiquette!"
"Master Zhang is born in the Year of the Monkey, sometimes at the top and sometimes at the back."
Chu Qing sneered.
Even if the other party didn't say anything, he would have guessed it.
The list Ma Rui gave him indicated that although this shop was not the largest shop in Beijing, it was definitely the shop with the largest volume of goods. It was not surprising that it was related to Zhang Songling.
Soon, the account book was found, and Chu Qing finally knew why Lu Zhu was so frightened.
There is not one ledger, but dozens of ledgers.
The first account book records the amount of goods sold by the shop. It is not much, only thousands of dollars in the past month, but the other account books are extremely shocking. The amounts on them are huge, more than 20,000 yuan in one month alone.
It's true, it's just that the materials are not produced by this shop, but are "imported" by other materials shops from here, which covers all the materials shops in Beijing, including the Ministry of Works.
Chu Qing turned back and looked at Wang Tongtong: "Go and ask around to find out how many cars and horses come and go in this shop on weekdays."
"only."
Wang Tongtong ran out. Chu Qing looked at Lu Zhu and frowned.
If the records in the other ledgers are true, just in terms of quantity, this shop has to drive at least hundreds of people back and forth every day. If this is the case, it is impossible to imagine how congested Beijing City will be.
Stepping towards the backyard, Chu Qing took a glance and saw that there was no warehouse, the place was not big, and there was no large amount of stones stored.
Back in the house, Chu Qing looked at Lu Zhu and raised the account book in his hand: "What's going on?"
Lu Zhu turned her head and said nothing.
Chu Qing was not in a hurry, sitting on the stool and waiting patiently.
After a while, Wang Tongtong came back, not to ask the common people, but to ask some Qianqi camp detectives hidden in Bei City.
It's not that this shop doesn't have carriages to transport stones, it's that there aren't any, not even one.
Chu Qing roughly understood that this store should only be a place to collect deposits or payments. After the "customer" likes it, it will be sent from other places to the designated location requested by the "customer".
Looking through several accounts again, Chu Qing felt more and more strange the more he looked at them.
All the construction and material shops in the capital "get their goods" from here?
Lu Zhu said that the man above him was Zhang Songling, and that this shop was the "general distributor" of all the materials shops. This also proved from the side that the entire labor materials market in the capital was monopolized by the Zhang family!
"Bring back the Qianqi Camp!"
Chu Qing gave an order, and the two detective horses immediately stood up for Lu Zhu.
Luzhu's beautiful face turned pale: "Why do you arrest me?"
“You’re trying to create a monopoly with your fucking tricks!”
No matter how loudly Lu Zhu shouted, the two detective horses were thrown directly into the carriage by Lu Zhu. After all, they were women and could not be pushed back all the way. Moreover, their clothes were disheveled.
Chu Qing did not get on the carriage, but went to two other materials shops in Bei City.
These two shops were quite ordinary, and they also had account books. They also said they were going to Jingzhao Mansion to pay taxes. Regarding the purchase of goods, they didn't say anything at the beginning. Fu Sanyi lifted his robe, and the two shopkeepers were scared, so they told the truth.
It turns out that there are so many construction and material shops in Beijing, they are actually one, Zhou Ji!
No matter which shop takes the order, or how much the "customer" purchases, the shop must go to Zhou Ji, who will directly bring the stones from outside the city to the city.
This means that all shops are not even dealers or middlemen, they are just "intermediaries". If you want to open a stone shop in the city, you must have a nod from the shopkeeper Zhou Ji. Even if you open it, you cannot "take on private work"
”.
After confirming this matter, Chu Qing returned to the government office.
Recently, Chu Qing has been reading a book, "Chang Lv".
Generally, people who study the law every day are either practitioners in related industries, or people who are preparing to commit crimes.
As for Chu Qing's purpose, it is self-evident.
There is no provision on "monopoly" in the Chang Code.
But Chu Qing knows better than anyone the consequences and seriousness of monopoly.
Not to mention whether or not to buy insurance for riders, the only outcome of a monopoly is to perish, but it will only happen sooner or later.
When African lions hunt wildebeest, they usually only attack prey that are sick and weak. Similarly, when anteaters discover a termite nest, they only eat a small number of male ants in the nest and do not destroy the termites.
nest.
This is the nature of animals. If all opponents die, it means that you will also perish.
In business activities, in the short-term competition for interests, capitalists ruthlessly kill all opponents and create a monopoly market situation. The most obvious consequences are two: they cannot make progress because there is no competition, and secondly, one company dominates the market.
You can sell for as much as you want, sell when you want, sell in whatever posture you want, or even don’t sell if you don’t want to.
The problem of refugees was like this before. Family members hoarded rice and grains, released small amounts, and then hoarded large amounts. When the number of refugees reached its peak, they released grains at high prices and made a lot of money. Behind this, there were countless corpses and corpses.
Shedding blood and tears.
The materials are not for food, but they are construction materials. Chu Qing asked Qianqiying Tanma about it, and sure enough, the price of the materials is more than seven times higher than five years ago!
Work materials, which are actually stones and wood, can be found everywhere, but they have increased seven times compared to five years ago, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
"Go to Jingzhao Mansion and call Mr. Ma, the governor, and tell him it's an emergency. Hurry up."
After explaining how to explore the horse, Chu Qing came to Lu Zhu with a gloomy expression.
