Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Don't, don't, I can't afford it, I can't afford it." Xiang Nan hurriedly supported Chen Pi and said, "It was Prince Jing who took care of Meng Qinghe, and I was just pushing the boat along."

"Xi Langzhong, you are too modest. It's not your advice, Prince Jing is so high, how could he notice Meng Qinghe, an ant-like character." Chen Pi smiled, "All the medicine merchants in Cangzhou are very grateful to you. We have established rules. , in the future, we will supply the medicinal materials of your Yixiaotang at cost price, and we will not earn you a penny."

"Hey, don't, don't, I thank the folks for their love, but the money still has to be earned." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "I can't let your hard work be in vain."

"Xi Langzhong, you are really a good person." Chen Pi was moved.

"Boss Chen, Meng Qinghe is dead, what happened to his Guangjin Caiyao shop?" Telford asked curiously.

"It was sealed up by the government." Chen Pi explained, "As soon as the news that Meng Qinghe was seized by the Ministry of Punishment for selling fake medicinal materials spread back to Cangzhou, the magistrate sent people to seal up the medicine store and searched Meng's house.

It is said that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were copied, but it is estimated that they were all corrupted by the magistrate. The medicines in the Guangjin Caiyao shop were also sold out, and the money was probably taken by the magistrate. "

"Bah, I didn't expect to take advantage of him in the end." Sai Xishi said angrily.

The magistrate of Cangzhou was nicknamed [Prefect of Yidao], and he killed anyone he saw. Meng Qinghe's dominance in Cangzhou City is mostly due to his support. Normally, Meng Qinghe often gave him money.

But he didn't want Meng Qinghe to be unlucky. Not only did the magistrate have nothing to lose, but he also made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Really where to reason!

Xiang Nan couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Corrupt officials like the prefect of Cangzhou serve as backers for profiteers and entrap local people. As a result, not only was he not implicated, but he also made a fortune, what kind of worldly troubles!

There is no reason for the Qing Dynasty to end!

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Madam, go and cook some good dishes, and I'll have a drink with Boss Chen."

...

At the same time, Lu Zhongzheng was talking to the gangster leader on the ground in the capital.

"It's this house. Burn it to me at night." He pointed to the house where Xiang Nan lived.

Since you can't outwit it, you have to force it. Burning their whole family to death will naturally solve their troubles.

"My lord, I don't dare to do that. This is an inner city, and the people who live in it are either rich or expensive, and the small ones can't be offended." Hearing this, the boss shook his head and said.

A local ruffian like him can bully ordinary people. Like those high-ranking officials, celebrities and gentry, they dare not provoke them. Otherwise, with just a post, he could be sent to prison, and he would not be able to get out even if he died.

In the inner city of Yanjing, since the Qing soldiers entered the pass more than two hundred years ago, ordinary people have been blasted out. Now they are either children of the Eight Banners, senior officials of the imperial court, or wealthy businessmen, in short, they are all people with reputation.

No matter how arrogant he is, he can't afford to offend such people.

"Don't worry, the people who live here don't have that much ability." Lu Zhong waved his hand and said, "I won't harm you."

"That's not okay, Mr. Lu, this water and fire are ruthless. Once the fire starts, it may be impossible. At that time, if it burns to other houses, we can't stand it." The boss shook his head and said, "Your money is too hot , I really dare not make money."

"Why are you such a waste, let you do something to push back." Lu Zhong glared at him and said, "I tell you, something happened, and there is Wang Taiyi watching. He is a celebrity in front of the queen mother, what trouble is there?" It’s not fair. If you push back again, I’ll clean you up first.”

"Okay then." The boss couldn't help it when he heard that, after all, his arms couldn't be twisted.

Although Lu Zhong is only a seventh-rank imperial doctor and a petty official in the capital, he is not something he can offend.

"But you have to give me some time, you have to choose a day with no wind. Otherwise, if you set fire on a windy day, the inner city may be burned down. No matter how powerful Doctor Wang is, I'm afraid it won't be fair." The leader said again.

"Okay, but as soon as possible. It can't be delayed past the sixth day of November at the latest." Lu Zhong urged.

The sixth day of November is the opening day of Yixiaotang, Food for Heaven, and Peide Medical School. He would never allow Xiang Nan to open the store.

As soon as the boss counted up, there were only seven days left, so he couldn't help sucking his teeth.

...

In the next few days, Xiang Nan was preparing for the opening of the new store and marrying Sai Xishi.

Although the preparations for these two things went smoothly, in fact, he was always beating a snare drum in his heart.

Because he knew that Wang Tianhe would not let him have such an easy time, and he might think of other tricks to harm him.

Just like the last time Meng Qinghe was arrested and died of a sudden illness within one night, Xiang Nan knew that it must be Wang Tianhe's black hands.

He will not sit back and watch him open the store and gain a firm foothold in the capital, and he will definitely use conspiracy again.

Therefore these days, Xiang Nan has been cautious and reclusive. Even if he went out, he would bring Defu and Takako with him.

In addition, when Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi went out to buy vegetables, they also sent their sons and Luzi to follow, fearing that something might happen.

Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi always laughed at him because of this, saying that he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Just recruited a thief once, and it frightened him.

...

That night, in the middle of the night, Xiang Nan came out to watch the night.

He was still worried that Wang Tianhe would be unfavorable to him and might send someone to harm him, so he had to afford it two or three times every night. The front door and the back door are turned around, lest someone sneak in and silence them without knowing.

As soon as I walked to Dongkua courtyard, I heard someone talking outside the wall, "Brother, do you want to do it today?"

"The wind is so strong, it looks like it can't be stopped." One person responded, "If you set fire at this moment, it will burn the inner city."

"But Lord Lu doesn't have much time for us. The sixth day of November, there are only three days left." The man said again.

"Then there's no way. Zuo can only earn him a hundred taels of silver, so he won't risk his life." The eldest brother responded.

"Where is Master Lu?" The man asked worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, the big deal is going to Jinmen to hide for a few days." The eldest brother said indifferently, "Old Mr. Yuan, who doesn't care about anything, wants to cooperate with me several times, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find food."

"Yes, but no matter how it is, it is as big as the oil and water in the capital." The man smiled, "Let's try our best to do what Mr. Lu told us."

"Yes." The eldest brother agreed, "Okay, the wind is so strong today, it seems that it can't stop. Let's retreat first and come back tomorrow."

When Xiang Nan heard this, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I got up at night tonight and heard their conversation. Otherwise, I really don't know how I died.

"Lu Zhong, Lu Zhong, you are really cruel enough to send hooligans to set fire to the inner city. You are not afraid that the fire will spread and reach Prince Jing's mansion." Xiang Nan gritted his teeth.

He knew that Wang Tianhe and Lu Zhong wanted to harm him, but he didn't expect them to be so utterly devoid of conscience that they dared to set fire to the inner city.

But fortunately, he has inadvertently discovered their conspiracy, and he can use his tricks to catch them.
