Swish.

Cheng Chumo hurriedly stood up, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said in panic, "Your Majesty... I have something important to report."

Li Er laughed, and asked: "Is it that the salt shop is still unattended, Chu Mo, this matter has already been expected, you don't need to panic."

In order to win the bet, Li Er almost spent all his money.

The Longwu army was mobilized to guard the surroundings of the salt shop, so that ordinary people could not enter.

Of course, the Longwu army could not stop the ministers in the court, so he was worried, and summoned Changsun Wuji and others, and warned everyone not to buy salt, not to buy salt... The ministers did not disappoint him, They all expressed that they would not buy salt, and Situ Wanggui even patted his chest and promised that he would not buy salt even if he starved to death.

Li Er still has great confidence in these ministers.

Cheng Chumo looked embarrassed, and whispered: "Your Majesty, on the contrary, there are many people buying salt now."

Li Er waved his hand: "Okay, Chu Mo, get ready, follow me to Qingfeng Village, let's go to Chen Chu to ask for the secret to making popsicles... What, what did you say?"

He suddenly reacted and immediately widened his eyes.

Cheng Chumo repeated: "Your Majesty, there are many people going to buy salt."

Li Er finally confirmed it.

Things got out of hand again.

He hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?"

Cheng Chumo did not dare to say yesterday afternoon, but only said: "Yesterday evening!"

Li Er slammed, his face furious: "Why didn't you report such a big matter to me immediately."

Cheng Chumo said innocently: "Your Majesty, it was Eunuch Gao who didn't let me in. He also said that if he wanted to see His Majesty, he had to go to Mr. Fang and Mr. Wei first."

Gao Chen?

Li Er turned his head, just about to reprimand Gao Chen who was standing in the distance with a confused face.

But suddenly remembered that at that time last night, he was having an in-depth communication with the queen.

He also specifically asked Gao Chen not to see anyone unless the prime minister came to look for him.

Careless!

For a while, Li Er was furious, but he didn't know how to vent it.

"The straw man made a mistake!"

He let out a long sigh.

Then he called Cheng Chumo, and hurriedly walked in the direction outside the palace.

On the way, Li Er asked curiously: "I have asked you to mobilize the Longwu Army to guard the salt store, why are there so many people buying salt?"

Cheng Chumo said helplessly: "According to my secret observation, those who came to buy salt have a lot of background."

"Hmph, it's not a small background, I want to see who dares to oppose me." Li Er's voice became extremely cold.

……

Not long after, Li Er and Cheng Chumo appeared in front of the Yandian in Dongshi.

From a distance, I saw a long queue at the entrance of the Yandian.

Li Er had a very ominous premonition.

As soon as he and Cheng Chumo walked in, the shopkeeper greeted them.

The shopkeeper didn't know Li Er, so he just greeted Cheng Chumo.

I saw him beaming and beaming, and said: "General, the fine salt that was brought in yesterday has been sold out this morning. Seeing that you are not here, I made my own decision and sent someone out of the city to bring back another batch of salt. The batch of salt can be sold out today..."

When Li Er heard this, his face was as cold as ice.

Cheng Chumo looked embarrassed, and quickly waved his hands: "Okay, okay, go down and get busy."

Without saying a word, Li Er walked behind the counter and found a place to sit down.

He wants to see who dares to disobey his order and buy salt without permission.

Cheng Chumo stood aside and introduced.

"Your Majesty, this is the butler of Lord Wang's residence."

"That is Master Zhang's grandson!"

"This is Master Ma's uncle."

Looking at this individual, Li Er understood.

These people are all related to the court officials.

No wonder they could pass through the gates of the Longwu Army unscrupulously, because many of the Longwu Army were the children or relatives of these ministers.

At this time, a figure caught Li Er's attention.

It was a guy wearing coarse clothes and a bamboo hat, who seemed to be old, hiding in the crowd.

Li Er has been paying attention to each other.

When the man got to the front of the queue and started to buy refined salt, Li Er rushed forward and tore off the other person's bamboo hat.

wow.

There was a face that both Li Er and Cheng Chumo were very familiar with.

Wang Gui!

It turned out to be Situ Wanggui!

Li Er was surprised and said, "Wang Gui..."

Wang Gui looked flustered and a little dumbfounded.

He didn't expect to be caught by His Majesty Li Er when he personally disguised himself to buy refined salt.

As one of the three lords of the current dynasty, Situ Wanggui has always attached great importance to face.

But now he felt that his face was torn to the ground by His Majesty Li Er, and he stepped on it a few times.

After a while, Wang Gui came back to his senses and said suddenly, "Your Majesty, is it too late for me to say that I don't know you?"

Li Er said angrily: "Get out of here!"

After a while.

The salt shop is upstairs.

Li Er sat behind the table.

Wang Gui tremblingly stood opposite.

Li Er took a sip of tea and said coldly, "Wang Aiqing, why don't you sit down?"

Wang Gui's face was painful, and he quickly waved his hand: "Your Majesty, my hemorrhoids have recurred again. The doctor told me to stand more and not sit for a long time...Your Majesty, you have to listen to my explanation. I did say yesterday that I like to eat light food, but Recently I found a doctor, he said that this refined salt is very useful in treating hemorrhoids, this minister was so obsessed with it, secretly came to buy some refined salt, really only bought a little bit."

Hemorrhoids are actually hemorrhoids.

Li Er frowned, and slammed the teacup on the table: "Wang Aiqing, why don't you buy two thousand catties of refined salt at a time, and only buy a little?"

"minister……"

Given Wang Gui's age, I really can't make it up anymore.

Li Er waved his hand: "Wang Aiqing, you are my most trusted minister. You really disappointed me by doing this. Since your hemorrhoids are serious, I will give you a decree tomorrow. You can go back to take care of yourself. I can't bear it." Seeing how old you are, you still work hard for the country!"

Wang Gui's stare widened suddenly.

Go back to retire?

What's the difference between that and waiting to die.

He suddenly sat down on the stool, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let me be honest, I just want to hoard some refined salt. I also spent money, and I didn't buy or sell by force... All of this must start with the analysis of Master Zhangsun..."

Grandson Wuji?

Li Er was taken aback.

……

Chapter 75 Let me inquire about my daughter?

After a long time.

Li Er finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that Wang Gui was not the only one who quietly came to buy refined salt among the ministers in the court, people like Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, and Wei Zheng all participated.

The reason is also very simple, that is, he believed Changsun Wuji's analysis.

Li Er is so angry!

Originally, Changsun Wuji and him were common friends, and they were the closest monarchs and ministers.

At this time, Changsun Wuji should help me!

Who would have thought that this guy would make a random analysis, ruining my good deeds.

Auxiliary machine, auxiliary machine, you are really my right-hand man...

Li Er was so depressed that he sent Wang Gui away.

Anyway, this refined salt is quietly hot.

Unlike soap and popsicles, which are known all over the city.

But Li Er can foresee that in the future, refined salt will become more and more popular.

The more Li Er thought about it, the angrier he became.

If the eldest grandson Wuji hadn't stepped in, he would have obtained the secret recipe for making popsicles.

Then, after he got up and went outside, he said to his valet Gao Chen, "Gao Chen, go to Duke Qi's mansion yourself, and bring my oral order to Chang Sun Chong: Chang Sun Chong has disappointed me so much."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

The Duke of Qi.

The eldest grandson's house.

In the main hall, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were drinking tea.

Gao Shilian chuckled: "Wuji, to tell you the truth, this time I have stored a thousand catties of salt in my house."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are still too cautious. To tell you the truth, I have stockpiled five thousand catties in my house. After the refined salt in the internal warehouse is sold out, I can sell this batch of salt at a high price." At that time, it may be able to make up for part of the shortfall in the soap business..."

Gao Shilian was suddenly a little worried: "Wuji, it will be all right to hoard refined salt this time, will it be another soap business?"

Changsun Wuji said seriously: "Uncle, don't worry, there will be no mistakes this time. I have calculated many times, and I have figured out what His Majesty is thinking. This time we will only make money and not lose money."

"That's the best!" Gao Shilian nodded and took a sip of his tea.

At this moment, the housekeeper came to report that the servant Gao Chen had arrived.

As a close servant, Gao Chen's status is not very high, but he often does the work of delivering edicts and oral instructions, to a certain extent, it is as if the emperor came in person.

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly invited Gao Chen in.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone came to the backyard.

Chang Sun Chong was still lying on the bed, and it would take at least half a month before he could move around.

As soon as he saw Gao Chen, he happily asked: "Eunuch Gao, is it true that Father is going to give me a promotion? Or he let me go to the palace to find the eldest princess? I haven't seen the eldest princess for a long time."

Gao Chen cleared his throat, and said flatly: "Young Master Changsun, Your Majesty has said: Changsun Chong has disappointed Taizhen."

Ok?

Everyone was stunned.

Changsun Wuji asked, "Eunuch Gao, what's going on behind?"

Gao Chen shook his head: "My lord grandson, His Majesty's oral instruction is just this one sentence. Now that the oral instruction has been delivered, I should go too. Farewell!"

Gao Chen left.
