"No, this kid seems to be harboring evil intentions!"

Combining some things with such a long investigation, Eunuch Li immediately realized that something was wrong with Chu Chen.

But I can't figure out what's wrong.

You said he was going to rebel, but after such a long investigation, there is no suspicion that he was recruiting troops.

Is it just to make money? What’s the point of making so much money?

With the current business of Laoliu Chamber of Commerce, it can be said that he will not be able to make ends meet in his eight lifetimes.

Eunuch Li did not dare to report to the emperor until he had determined the result. After all, Chu Laoliu was the emperor's son-in-law and the princess consort.

He was unwilling to get involved in such royal affairs, but he had no choice but to have His Majesty give him an investigation mission, which led to so many troubles.

"Someone, help us get to bed!"

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. This is Eunuch Li's way of survival.

So at this moment, continue to rest, and investigate other things later. If Chu Laoliu is really planning something bad, he will definitely be exposed.

After a while, several maids came into his room.

Then I undressed him, folded his quilt, and waited until he fell asleep obediently!

Chu Chen didn't care about those things at all, including the fact that San Xiu went to Eunuch Li. He also understood that what they wanted was this leaky kid.

Otherwise, how can I take them with me after doing all these things?

After spending a night with Huangfu Caiyun, he went to the lake early the next morning with his fishing rod and started fishing leisurely.

Eunuch Zhou was in a miserable situation. He was busy with reception, winning over and acquiring people, and participating in equity investment. Of course, he also had to accept the silver that the merchants gave as tributes.

Painful and happy!

Eunuch Zhou did not enter the palace when he was young. He was also a romantic young man before, so he had experienced all the things he should have experienced. Moreover, he had three sons and two daughters in the countryside.

That's why he worked so hard, just to build a family business.

For the sake of your future generations, try again.

A year later, the entire Laoliu Chamber of Commerce doubled in size, and most of the merchants from various industries joined the Laoliu Chamber of Commerce.

According to Chu Chen, it means making money together.

However, this action directly offended all the noble families in the capital and the royal relatives.

In just one year, the business of Kaiyuan Kingdom slowly evolved into two factions. One side was the royal family and major families, collectively referred to as the royal merchants.

On the other side is the Laoliu Chamber of Commerce.

Huangfu Xiong has been extremely worried these days. The table in the imperial study is so full of memorials impeaching Chu Laoliu that it is full to the brim.

Not only the ministers in the capital, but also the lords of major cities submitted memorials.

It is said that Chu Laoliu has evil ambitions and uses the Ninth Princess to encroach on the royal interests, collect money, and intend to rebel.

Although Huangfu Xiong was a little worried about Chu Chen's actions, he thought that Eunuch Li had been investigating for such a long time and did not have any evidence in his hand.

"Your Majesty, if you allow Prince Consort Chu to continue like this, it may threaten the stability of the imperial power!"

"Your Majesty, think twice. Chu Laoliu has evil ambitions and is definitely trying to rebel in order to seize the imperial power."

"Your Majesty, I request that you lead an army of 30,000 to completely destroy this Laoliu Chamber of Commerce."

Looking at the ministers kneeling below, Huangfu Xiong shook his head helplessly.

Everyone understands this truth, but firstly, Chu Laoliu is Jiuer's husband, the son-in-law of the emperor, and secondly, the Kaiyuan Kingdom has always encouraged its people to do business.

Just because he is good at business and makes money, should we kill him?

If this gets out, how can he continue to be the emperor? Wouldn't he be laughed at by the whole world?

Besides, Chu Laoliu is not yet at the point where he can threaten me.

However, with so many ministers impeaching him, he could not remain indifferent. Otherwise, he would be accused of shielding the emperor's relatives.

So he said to the people below: "Order, the Ministry of Justice must secretly investigate Chu Laoliu thoroughly, and no news can be leaked. Whether he has the intention of treason, we will discuss it after the investigation."

At this moment, after more than a year of wealth accumulation, Chu Chen has reached an astonishing figure.

At this moment, he was sitting with Chang Shou in a secret house in the capital.

"Sir, after a year of development, our Sixth Gang has already reached 300,000 members. Sir, shall we start a rebellion?"

"Start a rebellion? What kind of rebellion? Don't worry, I'm keeping you guys for other purposes."

Chang Shou was puzzled after hearing this. When Chu Chen found him, he said he wanted to do something big, not start a rebellion.

I thought that if I could confront the imperial power, I could become the emperor myself.

"Three hundred thousand people, all fully equipped with weapons, right?"

"Don't worry, sir. We have everything ready. Moreover, we are training in secret. Apart from anything else, our people are well fed and well armed. Even if we meet regular soldiers, we can still fight them."

Chu Chen did not continue to argue with this warmonger.

The purpose of supporting these 300,000 people is actually to guard against Huangfu Xiong's army from encircling and suppressing the Laoliu Chamber of Commerce and to provide a guarantee for those in the Laoliu Chamber of Commerce.

He had a feeling that Huangfu Xiong would probably attack him soon.

"The only purpose of this group of people is to protect the people of the Laoliu Chamber of Commerce. This is your mission. We are too big, so big that even the imperial power is wary of us. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chang Shou understood: "Young Master is saying that the imperial power does not allow the existence of the Laoliu Chamber of Commerce."

"Haha, think about it, who are the people in the Old Six Chamber of Commerce?"

"Ordinary people, merchants, and scholars!"

“So what does this group represent?”

After Chu Chen's reminder, Chang Shou immediately understood: "Damn it, they just don't want us ordinary people to live a prosperous life."

Seeing Chang Shou's anger, Chu Chen did not speak, but said: "Take me to the nearest brothers, I want to see your spirit."

Hearing that Chu Chen was going to visit his brothers, Chang Shou immediately put away his anger and stood up: "Please come in, sir."

After saying that, the two of them walked out of the house, got on Changshou's carriage and headed towards the suburbs of the capital.

In the carriage, Chu Chen lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage moving slowly behind him, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

It came so soon. As expected, the imperial power can never make you too rich.

Has the harvest started?

Then give it a try and see how this imperial power will treat you.

About half an hour later, the two of them passed through a forest and came to an area surrounded by mountains on all sides.

There is only one way leading inside, and there are people guarding in the dark outside. Although they are wearing ordinary people's clothes, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are not ordinary people.

"Okay, let's park here and walk in!"

When they arrived at the mountain pass, Chu Chen ordered the carriage to stop, and then walked inside with Chang Shou.
