MTL - On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law-Chapter 261 Shut into Dali Temple
Chapter 261 Locked into Dali Temple
When Lao Wang heard this, he fell to his knees in fright, trembling: "Master Zhou, the villain really doesn't know anything. The villain didn't do any bad things. I don't know why all the fish in other fish ponds died. Even if the fish in the fishponds of the villain are fine, it is not the villain who did it. Even if you give the villain a hundred guts, the villain would not dare to do such an outrageous thing."
It was obviously Mr. Yan who asked him to buy these fish ponds. Thinking of this, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Yan asked the villain to buy the fish ponds. Even if someone does bad things, it is not a small one. It is probably that Mr. Yan..."
Zhou Mu saw Lao Wang trembling with fright, stepped forward to help him up, and said softly, "I'm just asking casually, why are you panicking?"
Old Wang thought to himself that this is a terrible event, can he not panic?
Afterwards, Zhou Mu asked Lao Wang a few more questions before going to the homes of ordinary people with fish ponds nearby to find out about the situation.
The answers he got were all the same result. The fish raised in these common people’s homes died in large numbers due to the heavy rain, and some fish ran away from the fish ponds.
Pharaoh’s few mu of fishponds were not affected due to the terrain, and all of this was not caused by human beings.
On the way back to the capital, Qi Zhiyuan babbled on and on: "That Mr. Yan is really a man of genius. He asked Lao Wang to buy a fish pond that lays golden eggs after he said it casually. There is also this 2,000-acre wasteland in the southern suburbs. I bought it at a low price, and after the rainstorm, the land price has increased by more than ten times..."
"Zhiyuan, do you think this is just a coincidence?" Zhou Mu, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted Qi Zhiyuan.
Qi Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, before he said seriously: "If these are all coincidences, it would be too scary."
"It's really scary. It seems that Mr. Yan can predict the foresight. He may know in advance that there will be a heavy rain, that the wasteland can be turned into fertile soil, and he can also know in advance that the few acres of fish ponds that Lao Wang bought will make a lot of money. A cold smile appeared on Zhou Mu's lips, and the smile disappeared before it reached his eyes: "After he did this series of things, he disappeared from the world and never showed his face again. Perhaps he knew that I would track him down." whereabouts."
Qi Zhiyuan felt his heart tremble when he heard this: "Isn't that Mr. Yan a monster?"
"Even if it's a monster, I still want him to show up. However, I have a way to force Mr. Yan to show up."
Zhou Mu's cold voice came to Qi Zhiyuan's ears from the carriage, his eyes lit up: "What method?"
"Throw Rong Song into Dali Temple, torture him, and force him to tell the truth about Mr. Yan's whereabouts. Or use Rong Song as a bait to get Mr. Yan to take the bait." Zhou Mu's lips curved slightly.
Qi Zhiyuan was dumb for a moment, and after a while he said: "Miss Su and Miss Gu have a very close personal relationship, and Rong Si is engaged to Miss Su, if Miss Gu knows that Rong Si was thrown into Dali Temple by the son..."
If he doesn't say the rest, the young master should know that it is difficult to be kind, right?
It took a while for the young master's voice to come from the carriage: "Rong Si is both good and evil. If he goes astray, Mr. Yan will be behind him to help. I'm afraid there will be endless disasters. First take the land in the southern suburbs, and then To open a grain warehouse, tens of thousands of acres of grain must be planted in Mocheng. If this continues, Rong Si may become a person who shakes the people's livelihood in Dajin within three years. It is about the people's livelihood in Dajin, and I have to guard against Rong Si. I I am most afraid of him colluding with Zhou Xing, if so, I will definitely attack Rong Si."
Even if Xi Yan and Su Mei have a close personal relationship, he still has to find a way to get rid of Rong Si.
"The King of Qin really wanted to recruit Rong Si, the son's worries are not unreasonable." Qi Zhiyuan said seriously: "If the son wants to take down Rong Si, the subordinates will personally go and get him."
"Don't worry, send someone to keep an eye on Rong Song first, and Prince Qin's mansion will also keep an eye on it, and pay attention to whether Zhou Xing and Rong Si are in collusion. I won't move Rong Si until the necessary time." Zhou Mu is still scrupulous. Xi Yan.
Qi Zhiyuan thinks about Mr. Yan's character, and he is also a big head: "It would be great if we can know who Mr. Yan is. This person has never appeared again. It is estimated that only Rong Si knows who Mr. Yan is. Otherwise, let Miss Gu go Ask Miss Su to set Rong Si?"
Zhou Mu lightly raised the corners of his eyes, "I don't want Xiyan to get into a dangerous situation. Let Xiyan come forward, it's better for me to get closer to Rong Si."
Qi Zhiyuan could only sigh in his heart, the young master used to do whatever he wanted, but now he looks forward and backward for Miss Gu, and Miss Gu will be a weakness that the young master cannot get rid of in the future.
This afternoon, Rong Song was supervising the progress of the grain warehouse project in Bafang Hutong, when suddenly a scarlet figure came into view.
The visitor is tall and slender, with a pine-like posture, clear eyebrows and elegant eyes, and a clear temperament.
He strolled under the bright sky, not like a mortal.
It was Zhou Mu.
"Master?!" Rong Song was surprised that someone like Zhou Mu would appear in such a place.
Zhou Mu sat down opposite Rong Song: "I heard that Bafang Hutong is under your control, so I came here to take a look."
Rong Song recalled that Zhou Mu was an official of the household department, and it seemed reasonable to care about these matters. In addition, Zhou Mu was Xiyan's fiancé-in-law, so he didn't have any vigilance.
"I thought that there are only two Taicangs in the entire capital, and food is very important to such a huge capital, so I thought about doing business in this area. If the grain store can be done well, I should be able to earn some money in the future." Rong Song said, pouring tea for Zhou Mu.
In any case, these are Xi Yan's ideas, and he just helps her implement them.
Since Zhou Mu became an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he knew what the biggest flaw in his father's political achievements was, that is, not emphasizing food production.
As long as someone dares to make a fuss about food, it is easy to cause a series of civil strife.
This is not just his father's problem, but since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, all ancestors have not valued food. Because there has never been any trouble, each generation of emperors has continued the practice of their predecessors.
"If your grain store is doing well, have you ever thought about becoming an imperial merchant?" Zhou Mu tentatively tried.
Because of the fiancee relationship between Xi Yan and Zhou Mu, Rong Song never expected that Zhou Mu was testing him.
He remembered that Gu Xiyan's original intention of opening the grain store was not mainly to make money, but to want the people to have enough food and clothing. If you can become an imperial merchant, you will have more say, right?
"Of course I have thought about it, but it is not so easy to become an imperial merchant. I will only make plans when the grain store is opened in the future." Rong Song replied.
Zhou Mu's eyes flickered slightly, thinking that Rong Si really had ambitions. If you really want to become an imperial merchant, wouldn't you be able to control the price of grain more?
"Did you open the grain store mainly to make money?" Zhou Mu asked again.
Rong Song laughed dumbly: "Of course the purpose of doing business is to make money, but not entirely."
Zhou Mu became interested when he heard this: "How do you say that?"
Rong Si is a businessman, from a family of businessmen, who only valued profit, but at this moment he said it was not entirely true.
