Jun Jiuling

The person in the portrait?

Hearing these words, shopkeeper Liu stood up immediately, forgetting the teacup in his hand, and spilled tea all over his body.

He didn't bother to wipe the tea on his body.

"The portrait that Miss Jun gave?" He asked for confirmation.

The guy nods.

Shopkeeper Liu turned around and took down an account book from the shelf beside him, and pulled out a piece of paper, which was only the size of a palm, on which two portraits were described.

A fair-skinned, like Yuan Bao from the imperial palace just now.

One has two beards, just like Yuan Bao who just walked in.

After Miss Jun left the capital, this portrait was delivered to all the branches of De Shengchang, and the selected welcoming staff knew the person on it by heart, and would report it in time if they found it.

"That's it." The man pointed to the one with the mustache on the portrait, "I just went out after cashing out the money, with a Shandong accent, I look like a foreigner, but I'm no stranger to the capital, I'm just pretending."

The clerks who welcome customers in Deshengchangli are not apprentices who have just entered the industry, but apprentices who have undergone at least three years of training to do this, which is more stringent than the clerks at the counter.

They are trained to read words and moods and deal with all kinds of guests.

Shopkeeper Liu nodded and put away the portrait.

"You follow me to see Miss Jun," he said.

At this time, in the palace, the emperor was flipping through a memorial, while looking at Lu Yunqi standing in front of him.

The indoor curtains have been drawn, the doors and windows are wide open, and there is still a little cool breeze lingering in the summer morning.

"Master Huang said that these refugees were all funded by De Shengchang? They were not planned by Cheng Guogong." The emperor said slowly, "Is that true?"

In view of the grievances between Huang Cheng and Cheng Guogong, the emperor did not believe what Huang Cheng said, and only used it when he needed it.

For now, he doesn't want to do anything to Duke Cheng. The ministers can be his knives, but he doesn't want to be used as a knife by the ministers.

Lu Yunqi looked at the memorial in the emperor's hand.

Think of the borrowed carriage.

He allowed Huang Cheng to use the carriage, but he didn't say whether he would borrow it or not.

To borrow or not to borrow?

The emperor also looked at him.

"Huh?" He frowned slightly, "Isn't it?"

"I don't know what to say." Lu Yunqi raised his head and said.

"What to say." The emperor threw the memorial on the table and said with a bit of displeasure, "Is there anything you can't say? Or do you not want to say it?"

Lu Yunqi knelt and bowed his head.

"The refugees were indeed sent to the capital by De Shengchang." He said, "But it's not necessarily planned by Cheng Guogong."

The emperor hummed.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Lu Yunqi raised his head.

"Miss Jun is now Duke Cheng's unmarried daughter-in-law," he said.

The emperor said oh, and knocked on a few cases.

"That is to say, Cheng Guogong asked De Shengchang to do this?" He said, "Because they are a family now."

Lu Yunqi lowered his eyes and did not speak.

He only provided the information the emperor wanted, and did not make conclusions for the emperor, let alone express opinions.

The emperor looked at the memorial and his expression gradually became gloomy.

"A family." He repeated, "De Shengchang and Cheng Guogong want to become a family."

He stroked the tabletop.

"Back then, it was Miss Jun who cured the young master of the Fang family?" He asked again suddenly.

This story is very long and has been widely circulated in the market. If I repeat it, it can be said for a long time, it can be said very complicated, and there are many explanations.

Lu Yunqi looked down.

"Yes," he said.

The emperor smiled.

"It's really a family that knows how to repay their kindness." He said, "Then for such a life-saving benefactor, it must be repaid by the spring."

"Yes." Lu Yunqi said again, "Beidi's relief for the victims and the manufacture of armor and weapons are all paid by De Shengchang. For this reason, the bank deposits of the 17 Deshengchang banks in Beidi are all empty."

The emperor grabbed the memorial and threw it on Lu Yunqi.

"Why don't you report these things!" he roared.

The emperor had never lost such a temper with Lu Yunqi before, the servant standing outside the palace gate was startled, and hurriedly backed away from the palace gate.

Lu Yunqi lowered his head and remained motionless.

"Your Majesty has orders not to intervene in the matter of De Shengchang, and I did not dare to stop or ask more questions," he said.

This is true.

The emperor, who grabbed another memorial and was about to smash it, stopped, not to mention De Shengchang had the imperial decree of the first emperor.

However, Lu Yunqi did not say that he did not dare to ask because of the imperial decree of the first emperor.

He just didn't ask because he said he was not allowed to ask.

Anyway, at least for now, no one is more trustworthy than Lu Yunqi.

The emperor threw the memorial on the table.

"You are right. Don't ask about De Shengchang's affairs." He said, "There is nothing to ask about De Shengchang's affairs. The root of everything is because of Cheng Guogong's war in the North."

He waved.

"Go and see Duke Cheng."

Lu Yunqi responded yes, and Shi Li withdrew.

Seeing Lu Yunqi coming out, Jiang Qianhu and others who were waiting outside the palace gate rushed to meet him.

"My lord, are you all right?" they asked in low voices.

The roar of the emperor just now had already spread outside the palace, and they all knew about it.

"Not angry at me." Lu Yunqi said.

Jiang Qianhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's it?" he asked.

Lu Yunqi stood in front of the horse and got on the horse.

"Cheng Guogong." He said, "Concentrate people and keep an eye on Cheng Guogong."

Jiang Qianhu suddenly laughed.

"This is a good thing." He said, raising his hand to greet everyone, "Get on the horse and work."

Lu Yunqi looked forward with a dull expression, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

But at this time, the emperor who was sitting alone in the bedroom did not have the slightest smile on his face. He sat tensely in front of the desks, his expression suddenly became ferocious, and he raised his hand to shout the memorials on the desks. All swept to the ground.

"What God's will, it turned out to be man-made." He growled in a low voice.

They should have died, but they were ruined by this Jun!

And it's because of the surname Jun, the damned Cheng Guogong also messed up!

Also got such a big credit!

Take his money and get such a big credit!

This is all thanks to him!

De Shengchang, you dare to take my money and take my credit!

You businessmen have lost your duty!

If you are unrighteous, don't blame me for being unkind!

"Come here." He shouted, "Call Eunuch Yuan here."

..........

…………

Eunuch Yuan.

Miss Jun stroked the portrait that shopkeeper Liu handed over with her hand.

Sure enough, it was Yuan Bao, who really appeared in the capital.

"I don't know where it came from and where it's going." Shopkeeper Liu whispered, "But as long as he takes our money and spends it, we can find the trace."

Each ticket number had its own ingot token, making it easy to track down a person if they wanted to.

Either he has just come out of the palace, or he is going to the palace, in short, he is definitely not just the old man of the emperor's hidden residence.

What De Shengchang did in the Northland would be fine if it was done by another bank. It would only be considered as the order of Cheng Guogong, and he would gain a good reputation as an urgent public good, righteous for the country, for the people, and to share the worries of the king.

But in view of De Shengchang's secrets with the royal family, the emperor's mind is not good.

"I'll write a letter to Chengyu, and you have someone send it back immediately," Miss Jun said.

Shopkeeper Liu responded yes.
