Yinreng has lived for three lifetimes. In this life, he just wants to get along well with his brothers, be a carefree prince, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and explore the be...

Chapter 404 Speculation

Speaking of the people in the suburbs, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh.

"At first, I didn't agree with you not wanting me to make the commercial street a place only for the rich and powerful to hang out. Now it seems that your choice might be the right one."

Hearing this, Yinreng glanced at him in surprise.

"You kid still have this kind of awareness?"

Yinzhen immediately became unhappy.

"Why can't I have this kind of awareness? There are many wealthy families in the capital, but they can't withstand long-term tossing and turning. Didn't you tell me that you can't catch the wool of a sheep and pluck it?"

It took him six or seven years to polish the commercial street into its current prosperous state. How could he not hope for the commercial street to be good?

Of course, it is true that I hope it will be better, and it is even more true that I want to make more money.

Like most of the superiors who thought, "Why don't you eat meat porridge?", Yinzhen initially looked down on the common people.

He felt that they were born to be peasants and were not worthy of his efforts to maintain them.

It was a mercy that he showed by allowing them to do the job of cleaning up the garbage in this commercial street.

But after these seven years of experience, he no longer looks down on the people in the suburbs.

Because the operation of the commercial area and even Fushouyuan is inseparable from the common people everywhere, and although the capital city is said to be able to produce a third-rank official with just one brick, in terms of numbers, common people account for the majority of the capital city's population.

Ever since the second brother started to deal in the outer city and the suburbs of Beijing, the common people in Beijing began to have more money, although he used to make money from the landlords, wealthy nobles and high-ranking officials.

But in the past two years, it has become increasingly difficult for high-ranking officials to do business, so he can see it clearly.

When the capital city can no longer handle the business, the business will have to be handed over to the common people.

Business needs to be done steadily and steadily to last.

Yinreng smiled and didn't talk much about this topic.

He knew that even if Yinzhen's attitude towards the lower classes had changed, he was still that arrogant nobleman at heart. Only when the superiors regarded the people as "property" would they be willing to condescend and show some kindness to them.

He understood from the beginning that Yinzhen's temperament was not suitable for being an emperor.

So over the years, he has been using money to tie him to various industries, making it impossible for him to get involved in politics, and even deliberately made his relationship with the Ministry of Revenue awkward, all for this purpose.

"Why did you go silent after you sold the car to Hua Qi for a high price? Are you afraid that the old man will ask you for the money?"

"Selling at a high price is my ability. How can he accept those tens of thousands of taels of silver?"

Yinzhen curled his lips, his face showing a speechless expression.

"I've been busy with other things lately. You know what? I found out something interesting and I'm struggling with whether or not to reveal it."

"What could possibly make our powerful Master Jiu so troubled?"

Yinreng picked up the coffee and took a sip, feeling the mellow and rich taste in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed.

When he worked in a financial institution, in order to fit in with the team, he pretended to be a hipster all day long and drank a cup of black coffee every morning to stay awake.

Later, maybe because he drank too much, he really started to like the taste of coffee.

Yinzhen checked the doors and windows like a thief, then sat back in his original position and said to Yinreng in a low voice,

"Didn't my eldest brother lose a child ten years ago? That wasn't an accident. It was Mingzhu's doing."

Yinreng's eyelids twitched.

"Why are you asking about this? It's been ten years."

This matter was not a secret. Although the falling out between the boss and Mingzhu was not spread out, it only took a few days for the two to go from being "close friends" to "enemies envious of each other".

Nature cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested.

But why is this kid Yinzhen investigating this matter?

Mingzhu has been almost completely forgotten by the old man in the past ten years, and he and Mingzhu have no grudges or hatred in the past or present.

"So you know this!"

When Yinzhen saw that there was not much surprise on Yinreng's face, he instantly knew that he had known about this for a long time.

Yinreng did not answer him, but asked again,

"Did Mingzhu offend you?"

“It’s not him!”

Yinzhen shook his head. Since he had said it, he had never thought of hiding it from Yinreng.

"It's Tong Guowei..."

"Why are you involved with the Tong family again?"

Seeing that Yinreng was finally interested, Yinzhen explained the whole story of his investigation into Tong Guowei to Yinreng, and finally said,

"In other words, Tong Guowei received the news before Mingzhu took action. He planned to expose the truth later and sow discord between Big Brother and Mingzhu. But he didn't expect Big Brother to find out about Mingzhu before he did..."

Yinreng frowned, he heard the resentment in Yin'er's tone.

I think Yin'er thought that if Tong Guowei had revealed the news to Yinzhi in advance, he would have been prepared and the baby in his sister-in-law's belly could have been born safely.

But at that time, because of Yinzhi, Longkodo was almost reduced to a penniless person. Tong Guowei even hoped that Yinzhi would learn a lesson. Why would he tell him about this in advance?

"Don't you remember that Qiu Xian Boss had a fight with Long Keduo?"

The indignation on Yinzhen's face froze instantly.

After careful recollection, I seem to remember that this happened.

"Longkodo lost his job because of that fight and became almost a penniless man. Given Tong Guowei's personality, if he had known about this in advance..."

Having said this, Yinreng's inference came to an abrupt end.

He originally wanted to say that given Tong Guowei's personality, it was understandable that he would add fuel to the fire.

That……

Yinreng and Yin'er looked at each other and saw the murderous look in each other's eyes.

Yinzhen said, "Tong Guowei is very likely to add fuel to the fire..."

"good!"

It turns out that there is not a single good person in the Tong family.

"No, I have to explain this to Big Brother. Shun Anyan actually had the nerve to join Big Brother's sect, and Tong Guowei is pretending to be ignorant. He's really audacious!"

Yinzhen was so angry that he slapped the table, which frightened Honghui so much that he trembled. Yinreng then remembered that there was a child next to him and kicked Yinzhen on the calf.

"Why are you so loud? Are you afraid that others can't hear you?"
