She and Merchant Chen had met several times, but Merchant Chen had not exposed any flaws before.
However, he mentioned cutting off the core business related to the Shen family.
This reminded Wen Qingzhu of someone.
Boss Shen of the lumber store.
He can supply wood from all over the country. The shop may look small, but what he does is big.
In particular, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but care about the shop owner whose surname was Shen.
After all, there must be a certain amount of financial resources behind the open shop in Yunzhou.
Merchant Chen seemed to have never entered the city, but he went from the simple inn in the north of the city to the simple inn in the south of the city.
The whereabouts are moving.
In order to verify his conjecture, Wen Qingzhu went to the lumber store.
I didn’t expect the lumber store to be closed!
Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment. Could it be that Jing Yinuo was planning to divide the Shen family's strength so that even if Yangzhou was controlled by Jiang Yuancheng, a certain amount of industry could still be preserved.
If there is a chance in the future, he can still make a comeback.
Looking at the closed store door, Wen Qingzhu sighed. When he turned to leave, he suddenly heard a clear voice behind him.
"Boss Wen?"
Wen Qingzhu looked back and found that the previous boss Shen was standing not far away.
He was carrying a backpack with slow herbs in it. He looked like he had just returned from outside the city.
"Did you go to collect medicine?" Wen Qingzhu was very strange, always feeling that something was wrong.
Boss Shen walked over quickly, went up and opened the store door, and said at the same time: "Boss Wen is here to order wood, right?"
"Yes, yes, I have another idea." Wen Qingzhu followed him into the house.
Boss Shen put down his backpack and went to look for a booklet in the cabinet.
Wen Qingzhu looked down at the basket on the ground. At the edge of the basket, between the raised bamboo strips, there was a small scrap of paper.
Soon Boss Shen came out with a few old and old books, patted the dust on them, pointed inside and said, "If Boss Wen is not busy, you can go in and have a look."
Following him into the house, Wen Qingzhu discovered that the decorations here had changed drastically.
All the ancient paintings and vases were put away and turned into shelves, with samples and some account books and other things placed on them.
Wen Qingzhu sat down and Boss Shen poured tea for her.
Tea has actually become the cheapest tea.
Looking at her expression, Boss Shen said with some embarrassment: "Business is really bad. After winter, my expenses are also high, so I don't pay attention to those frivolous things. I have to do business down to earth. If it really doesn't work, I might close the store here and go to the store in Texas.”
"You also have a store in Texas?" Wen Qingzhu asked quickly.
Boss Shen nodded and said: "Well, I also have branches, but not many. Now many businessmen go to Kangcheng, and it is becoming more and more difficult to do business outside. Places like Lingcheng, Yangzhou, and Suzhou are already prosperous. Not a big problem yet.
My place is Yunzhou. If there hadn't been a snowstorm, I would have been able to hold on. But now I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. I don't know what the Yamen is thinking. Are they going to give up on Yunzhou? "
He sighed heavily, his face full of sorrow.
After saying that, he realized that Wen Qingzhu was a guest and apologized quickly: "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have told you. Let's take a look at the wood first. You can get as much as you want."
Wen Qingzhu took the book from him and looked at him.
That's not what he said last time, and he even persuaded himself not to build an inn in Yunzhou.
Could it be that the Shen family has really severed ties with Boss Shen
After thinking for a while, Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and asked, "Speaking of which, I have met him twice, but I still don't know Boss Shen's name."
Boss Shen immediately said: "My name is Shen Yu. I have been an apprentice since I was a child. I am very familiar with wood. I know all kinds of craftsmen and construction design workers. Do you need anything?"
"I only need wood here. We have craftsmen and designers. Speaking of which, I also brought the drawings this time. Take a look, what kind of wood is the best for these things?"
Wen Qingzhu brought a stack of drawings and pushed them in front of Shen Yu.
He took the drawings and looked at them enthusiastically. Unexpectedly, the smile on his face faded when he saw the first drawing, and he said solemnly: "Who is Boss Wen?"
Wen Qingzhu lowered his eyes and looked at the observation tower on the first drawing and said: "It's not anyone, just the person who takes over Yunzhou now."
"Take over Yunzhou?" Shen Yu stared at her, breathing extremely lightly.
Wen Qingzhu was not afraid of his scrutiny at all, and met his gaze and asked, "Can Boss Shen prepare all the materials I want for me?"
Facing her inquiry, Shen Yu said nothing and looked at the drawings in front of him and then at Wen Qingzhu.
While thinking about her identity, I wondered if his identity had been exposed
While hesitating, Wen Qingzhu said directly: "I guess the Shen family in Yangzhou should have sent a hidden person to cut off your relationship and contact with the Shen family. From now on, you need to be self-reliant, so you became enthusiastic and enthusiastic. Become strapped for money.
The Shen family in Yangzhou was already in a quagmire. Jing Yinuo couldn't escape and couldn't protect himself. He took the initiative to cut off his tail to survive, but the tail he cut off this time was one of the assets he saved! "
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Shen Yu, whose surname is also Shen, but does not have the inheritance rights of the Shen family, means that although your surname is Shen, you are already a member of the Shen family for three generations. At the same time, because of your good ability, you have controlled the country's timber business. .
You lived in seclusion in Yunzhou originally to cover up others' eyes and ears. You didn't want something to happen to the Shen family one day. The Yunzhou side suffered a serious disaster, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
Therefore, Jing Yinuo chose you as one of the trump cards for the Shen family's comeback. Tell me, am I right? "
Shen Yu froze. He never expected that someone not only knew his identity, but also knew everything about the Shen family.
Could it be that the person in front of me is also Jiang Yuancheng's
Did you come here this time to kill people and silence them
Seeing that he was extremely nervous, Wen Qingzhu was convinced that his guess was basically correct.
She turned her head and looked at the basket outside the door. The contents in the basket that Shen Yu took away before must have been account books and correspondence.
As long as these things disappear, no one will know about the timber industry.
He, Shen Yu, has no relationship with the Shen family.
"Since you are Jing Yinuo's chosen one, I have no choice but to trust you once."
Wen Qingzhu took out the emperor's golden order and put it on the table.
Shen Yu stood up in shock: "You are from the imperial court!"
Many thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Did the imperial court discover the Shen family's wealth
Are you targeting the Shen family now
Looking at the young man in front of him, Shen Yu felt something was wrong again!
Suddenly, he thought of the changes in Yunzhou City.
In the past few days, he had been busy communicating with merchant Chen, learning about the news in Yangzhou and the arrangements Jing Yinuo had given him.
He only knew that Yunzhou City was under the custody of the Fu Jiajun. There seemed to be changes at the Yamen, but he didn't know about it, so he didn't know yet.
Wen Qingzhu waved him to sit down: "I am from the imperial court and the emperor. I came to Yunzhou this time. Firstly, I want to solve the problem of Yunzhou's population and economy. Secondly, Qi State and the Xiongnu are going to war. , you have to be prepared.”
"Qi State and the Huns are going to war? Will the Huns attack Yunzhou?" Shen Yu obviously didn't believe it.
Wen Qingzhu said calmly: "You don't believe that the Xiongnu has this strength, but I tell you, the Xiongnu really has this strength. And the war is already around the corner."
She looked in the direction of the Xiongnu with a solemn expression.
I don’t know if the Xiongnu side has integrated the remaining two forces.
The Royal Palace of Tianying City.
Jita sat on the throne and looked at the people below indifferently.
Li Geng, who was tied up and kneeling, cursed fiercely: "Zhita, you insidious villain! You dare to touch the royal guards! Do you know that this is the guard left by your father and ancestors! "
"Second brother, don't you still know what the situation is now? If we Xiongnu don't unite, Qi will definitely destroy us."
Bo Dong, still wearing a black cloak and hood, stood aside and spoke earnestly to persuade.
Hearing his words, Li became even more angry and roared: "You two-faced villain! You actually poisoned Juqu! I'm going to kill you!"
"Haha, second brother can't protect himself now." Bo Dong didn't care, his face was full of ridicule.
Denton's figure appeared at the door. He walked in quickly and reported to Jieta: "Prince, He Lai is still unwilling to surrender and is unwilling to surrender. King Zuoxian failed to catch him."
After listening to his words, Li Geng suddenly burst into laughter: "You think He Lai will surrender to you? How ridiculous! I have been kind and powerful for more than ten years, but this guy refuses to take soft and hard advice, and secretly formed an army behind my back. Do you think he Will I trust you
Tell you Jieta, He Lai will never surrender to you! This kid will never be someone you can’t get rid of! Will become the next White Wolf Tribe! "
Zhita suddenly stood up, Plow raised his head and watched Zhita slowly walk down.
He stopped in front of Li Geng, looked at him condescendingly and said: "I know you gave He Lai irresistible benefits, but don't forget why He Lai refused to submit. The reason why He Lai refused to submit was not you. , but Wen Qingzhu!"
Mentioning this woman, Li Geng's face instantly became filled with dark clouds.
He had never suffered a loss from a woman in his life, but he suffered a big loss from a woman from Qi State.
The confusion turned Tianying City upside down and completely smoothed Li Geng's pride.
Seeing the change in his expression, Zita said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you now. You are still useful now."
Ligeng raised his head sharply and said disdainfully: "I dare to admit that I just want Wen Qingzhu. Do you dare to admit that you want Lei Shuo? You don't even dare to think about how you can laugh at me!"
Being touched, Zhita immediately grabbed Li Geng's neck and said gloomily: "Don't think I dare not kill you!"
"Kill me, and you will at least lose Juqu! It is impossible for He Lai to submit to you. You are not the only capable person in the entire grassland!"
Li Geng fought back without hesitation, determined that only Ta would dare to touch him.
It's just that Guita's hand became tighter and tighter, making the plow more and more out of breath.
At this moment, King Zuo Xian's voice appeared at the door.
"Zita! What are you doing?"
Forced to have no choice, Zita could only let go, and Li Geng suddenly took a big breath.
His flushed face quickly calmed down.
King Zuo Xian stepped forward and saw the marks on Li Geng's neck. He turned around and ordered Danton to take the man down.
Bo Dong was very afraid of King Zuo Xian. He was an invisible man and followed him away quietly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, King Zuo Xian stopped him: "Bo Dong, where are you going?"
After being called out, Wu Bo could only turn around with a smile: "What did uncle say? Didn't you let us go down?"
King Zuo Xian raised his chin slightly and said meaningfully: "I asked Danton and Li Geng to go down. When did I let you go down? Didn't you say you could convince the Asan tribe?"
Hearing this, sweat suddenly broke out on Bo Bo's head, and he quickly said: "My nephew is already speeding up, but there is still some problem on my grandpa's side."
"Is there something wrong, or does he disagree at all?" King Zuo Xian directly exposed his words, making Bo Bo nervous.
