The dim back

Zhang Yulu felt that something was wrong and looked at the princess in front of her: "Apart from the emperor, the only one who dares to touch the princess's property is the queen mother. Why don't you go to the palace and ask the queen mother for help first?"

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, the princess was even more embarrassed: "In my life, I grew up looking at the Queen Mother's face. Because my mother died early, I could only be fostered by the Queen Mother's knees."

Zhang Yulu understood one thing: "In the imperial palace, everyone has a hard time. No matter if they are princesses or princes, everyone is very cautious."

Zhang Yulu felt that no matter who it was, they must have their own reasons: "What exactly is going on? Why did they seal up your shop?"

The princess became anxious: "It's a long story. I opened a spice shop. The government is cracking down on the salt transportation. Who knew something like this would happen?"

Zhang Yulu finally understood: "This is equivalent to you snatching things from the court, so why don't you discuss it with the emperor?"

Zhang Yulu came up with an idea: "Now we go to the palace and turn the shop over to the court, and then divide it into 50-50. This way we can monopolize the entire market."

The princess never thought that Zhang Yulu had this ability: "I didn't expect you to be so smart. Recently, Liu Zhongqing has been mentally and physically exhausted because of this matter. I didn't expect you to be able to help me solve it."

When Liu Zhongqing came in from outside, he was particularly surprised to see the princess here: "Mother, why are you standing here? Shouldn't you be in the shop?"

The princess smiled happily and said, "I really have no other choice. I told Zhang Yulu about our family's affairs. I didn't expect that this girl is so smart. Since she has helped me think of a solution, let's go to the palace to meet the emperor now."

Hearing the princess say this, Liu Zhongqing was very happy: "Is that really the case? Thank you so much."

The eldest princess mocked, "He's much better than Qiu Feng. He only knows how to fight for favors every day. When can he make any contribution to the family business? Zhang Yulu is better. She's well-educated and can help with the family business."

Liu Zhongqing naturally said nothing. Zhang Yulu stood aside and said, "The Princess is really worrying too much. Concubine Qiu also has her own merits. For example, in terms of calligraphy and painting, I have to admit that she is inferior to me."

Liu Zhongqing was very happy: "You are really amazing. Qiu Feng is both my teacher and my friend. We grew up together and we know each other well."

Hearing Liu Zhongqing say this, the princess was somewhat unwilling to listen: "If I hadn't brought you to the capital that year, and because I am a careless person, I would not have abandoned you, and you would not have been able to meet Qiu Feng."

Zhang Yulu thought that was all in the past: "Now let's go over and take a look to see what's going on in the shop."

When the three people entered the palace, Zhang Yulu was the first to say to the emperor: "Princess Zhang is willing to transfer her salt transport business to the court, and all profits will be divided equally."

The emperor was surprised to hear Zhang Yulu say this: "This is a huge sum of money, you should think carefully about it."

The princess smiled and said, "I'll save you from causing trouble for me. Now you've even closed my shop. This happens once or twice a year. I have to shut down for a while. I can't wait any longer."

Hearing the princess say this, Zhang Yulu had her own ideas: "Let's leave it at that for now. Since things have come to this point, I hope everyone can live in peace and hope that our salt transportation business will flourish."

The emperor naturally did not dare to neglect it: "The national treasury is indeed a little empty recently. If we have this silver, the people will definitely live and work in peace and contentment."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yulu remembered something: "Recently I heard that in a corner in the south of the city, there are often some people gambling for no reason. This phenomenon must be stopped, otherwise it will cause a big disaster."

The emperor felt that the place was leaderless and difficult to manage: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu expressed his thoughts: "Listen to me, I will go to the south of the city in the next few days. I always feel that these people did not appear for no reason."

The emperor thought it made sense: "We have many gamblers here, so who would gather in the south of the city to gamble? I think their motives must be impure."

Liu Zhongqing took on the task: "Leave this matter to me. I believe I can complete it perfectly."

Hearing Liu Zhongqing's words, the emperor laughed: "That's great that you said that, otherwise I really don't know who to hand over this matter to. I will inform the Queen Mother about this matter."

Zhang Yulu and Liu Zhongqing quickly rushed to the south of the city and just arrived at the place where people were gambling.

I saw a woman pulling her husband: "The child is still sick at home, and you stole the money to gamble. This is the money that saved our son's life."

Unexpectedly, the gambler said angrily: "Don't underestimate this small amount of money. If I play a few games, I can win thousands or tens of thousands of times for you. Just wait for me here."

Unexpectedly, the woman still pulled her husband back: "You are so irresponsible. How can you say such ugly words? The son is also your child."

Unexpectedly, the man in front of him laughed: "Anyway, you won't die if you miss a dose of medicine. Just wait for a while. If I get rich and let you and your mother live a good life, you just wait for me here."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Zhongqing walked forward angrily, pulled the man in front of him and said, "What's wrong with you? How can you treat your wife like this?"

Unexpectedly, the man waved his hand and said to Liu Zhongqing: "Do you believe that I can kill you with this punch? You don't have to worry about our family affairs."

Liu Zhongqing stepped forward and kicked the man, knocking him to the ground.

Surprisingly, the woman in front of him actually tried to stop Liu Zhongqing: "Why do you hit my husband like this?"

Zhang Yulu looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief: "He was the one who beat you up. We are just here to help."

Unexpectedly, the woman stood on the street and shouted: "Someone is being beaten, someone is being beaten, there is really no law."

Liu Zhongqing was speechless: "How can there be such ignorant women and children? Can't you see that I am helping him?"

The system reminded Zhang Yulu: "Master Host, I must help you solve this matter."

Zhang Yulu understood and said to the person in front of her, "It's understandable that you protect your husband, but your blind protection will only encourage his arrogance."
