The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Chapter 130 There is no business without treachery

"Even so, if you help him sell some gold, oh no, if you help him sell some pepper, it won't be a big problem, right? It's just a business, right?"

"If it were that simple, why would I worry about it?"

Zhuang Mu couldn't help but sigh, "This Wang guy knows that I have a way to go to Da Zhou, so he wants me to transport this batch of pepper to Da Zhou and sell it for a good price. It can indeed be multiplied several times over there, but the problem is that this thing is a controlled item in Beichen. If you want to buy and sell this thing, it's just like buying and selling salt and iron. You need a salt permit issued by the court. Without this thing, it's called private trafficking, which is a capital crime."

“Wang Muzhi’s ability can’t help you get this?”

Zhuang Mu: "My Lord Xu, you don't even think about who that Wang is. I don't know where he got this batch of goods from. If it was legitimate, why would he need a small businessman like me to help him do this? He is clearly using me as a scapegoat. If this thing succeeds, he will make a lot of money. If it fails, he can use this as an excuse to swallow up all my property. Anyway, he won't lose anything. The only unlucky ones are small merchants like me."

The more Zhuang Mu thought about it, the angrier he got. This guy named Wang was extremely cruel. Why didn't God send a bolt of lightning to strike him to death?

After hearing what he said, Xu Yao finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and once again lamented how cruel Wang was.

After thinking for a while, he said, "But he has already told you about this. Even if you don't agree, you can't avoid it."

When Zhuang Mu was pointed out about this, his face became even uglier.

From the moment he entered the Wang family and heard about this matter, he knew that this matter was not going to be easy.

He tried every means to delay, actually he was just waiting for Xu Yao.

He felt that with Xu Yao's ability, after arriving in Panjing and not being able to see him, he actually came to him. He was waiting for Xu Yao to make a decision. After all, Xu Yao had said that he would be his backer and help him clear the obstacles in doing business.

"Why don't I just kill him?" Xu Yao said calmly.

This Wang guy is really looking for death. He even dares to swallow her money. Today, I will let him know how narrow-minded Lord Ma is.

Zhuang Mu quickly stopped her, "It's okay for you to kill people casually, but this is Pan Jing, he is from the Wang family. When I entered the city, I heard that Master Wang was assassinated. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to kill him now."

This is not a lie. Wang Muzhi has been scared to death since he was assassinated last time. Two of his bodyguards died. At this time, he spent a lot of money and hired many experts to protect himself. He is a coward.

When Xu Yao came, he found that there were many guards here, but this was never a problem for Xu Yao.

She said, "I want to kill him, but it only takes a cup of tea. Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhuang Mu nodded and said bluntly: "This batch of goods is very valuable."

After saying this, he looked at Xu Yao with shining eyes.

Xu Yao became interested: "How much is it worth?"

Zhuang Mu made the number nine gesture.

"One thousand two hundred taels?"

Zhuang Mu shook his head: "One hundred and twenty thousand taels."

Xu Yao opened his mouth. This was really a lot of money. "Are you sure you can sell this batch of goods to Da Zhou smoothly?"

"As long as I can get the goods out of Panjing, I will find a way to get it to Da Zhou smoothly. The only obstacle is Wang Muzhi."

Xu Yao understood that Zhuang Mu was worried that Wang Muzhi would not keep his word and would keep the money for himself, so he planned to kill Wang Muzhi himself to eliminate future troubles.

But the premise of all this is that he has to get the pepper first. If you don't make money, you're a bastard. You can't afford this loss.

Xu Yao raised his hand, pointed a finger at him, and shook his finger while laughing.

Zhuang Mu saw her laughing, so he started laughing too. As he was laughing, he heard Xu Yao curse, "You are such a fucking profiteer."

Zhuang Mu was not ashamed, but proud. "There is no business without fraud, and the money he got was from robbing people. What I am doing is called robbing the rich to help the poor. I rob corrupt officials like him and help poor small merchants like me. What's wrong with that?"

Xu Yao almost wanted to high-five him. She really admired his shamelessness. "Okay, absolutely. You have to be as shameless as you are when doing business. Keep it up. Okay, I'll think of a way. You first promise him to get the pepper. When you ship the goods out of Panjing, I'll get rid of him. I promise to clean up the mess and leave no hidden dangers for you."

Hearing her say this, Zhuang Mu was extremely happy: "Master Xu is still the best."

Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Yao was about to leave.

When I opened the door, I saw Old Man Qu with a flattering smile on his face.

"What is Doctor Qu doing?"

"How is your little apprentice's leg injury?"

"Thanks to you, I have recovered well and can move freely now. Doctor Qu is indeed a great doctor. My ten thousand taels of silver were well spent."

Doctor Qu laughed and said, "In that case, can you take me with you when you leave the Wang family?"

Is he afraid that they will abandon him here and ignore him?

Xu Yao nodded. "You are a skilled doctor, so I will naturally protect you. By the way, where is Liu Tong? Why don't you see him?"

"Oh, him. Just in case, he disguised himself as a escort and is still on the ship with the goods. He can't get off for the time being."

Only if Zhuang Mu agrees to do things for Wang Muzhi, will Wang Muzhi allow the goods at the dock to be unloaded.

Xu Yao looked back at Zhuang Mu, who nodded, agreeing with what Old Man Qu said. Xu Yao assured them that she would deal with Wang Muzhi after all the goods were dealt with.

After returning to the Danyang Marquis Mansion, Xu Yao called Pei Shuo in and told him about Wang Muzhi.

"In the next two or three days, you will go to the dock in disguise and keep an eye on them. As long as Zhuang Mu's cargo is successfully unloaded and the pepper is on board, we will take action against Wang Muzhi."

Pei Shuo was a little worried. "But Grand Tutor Wang has just been assassinated, and Yuan Qingzong is one of Grand Tutor Wang's men. It may not be easy for you to frame Yuan Qingzong."

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Who said they framed Yuan Qingzong? Isn't there another Jia family?"

Pei Shuo was stunned for a moment, but soon figured out the key point. "Master, you want the Jia family and the Wang family to fight more fiercely."

"Otherwise, I think the assassination of Grand Tutor Wang may have something to do with the Jia family. Maybe the Queen Mother is waiting for a clear handle to take action against the Jia family. If we use the Marquis of Danyang to add fuel to the fire, I don't believe that the Jia family will not suffer."

This Wang guy has some abilities, but in the final analysis he is just a nephew of a remote branch of the Wang family.

She is not even a blood relative of the Queen Mother, and they are so distant from each other, how much value can they have?

Pei Shuo was still a little worried, "If Wang Muzhi can't tell me where my father is, then..."

Xu Yao reassured him, "Why panic? Your master has a special medicine here. Even if he is mute, the master can make him speak. The guardian of Yuan Qingzong took my medicine and even told me how many times he wet the bed when he was a child. The master will take out all the underwear of Wang Muzhi for you. If he doesn't know, then arrest all the people in the Wang family and force them to drink the medicine one by one. If that doesn't work, the master will accompany you to break into the palace and give the Queen Mother a medicine. Others may not know, but the Queen Mother must know the whereabouts of your father."
