Shopkeeper Wu went to the private room to report today's events to his master: "Master, today Madam Li went to the market and bought sixty-nine servants, and went to the official market and bought one hundred and four servants."
“What is she going to do with all this?
What kind of people are you buying?" Ouyang Mingxuan was frightened by the servants Li Yun bought.
One hundred and seventy-three people, are you preparing to open an ice factory?
Does it take so many people to run an ice factory?
Yes, didn’t she say she wanted some iced drinks?
“Master, it’s really strange, she buys from people from all walks of life.
Oh, I almost forgot, she also bought back the Prince of Jin's secret guards." Shopkeeper Wu patted his forehead and said to Ouyang Mingxuan.
"Secret guard?
They are the secret guards who made mistakes and were sold out by the emperor. How were they sold here?
Did you see that correctly? "Ouyang Mingxuan felt something was amiss.
Even if the secret guards of Prince Jin made a mistake, the emperor would not have sold them here. They should have been kept in the provincial capital or the county.
“That’s right, this is what the Lin Ya people told me personally.
If they weren't the secret guards of Prince Jin, I would have bought them." Shopkeeper Wu said to Ouyang Mingxuan.
"Do you know why he was sold here?" Ouyang Mingxuan felt that something was a little strange.
"I heard from the Linya people that the people who sent them here told them to sell them to the worst place and not to the mine, so they were kept until now." Shopkeeper Wu told Ouyang Mingxuan what he knew.
"Oh, so that's how it is, I see.
How much silver did Madam Li spend on them?" Ouyang Mingxuan probably understood what it meant. This must be the case that the prince and the prime minister had colluded to send them here without telling the emperor, in order to prevent them from returning.
"This is also very strange, a secret guard is only five hundred taels?
"Tell me, if the higher-ups find out, will they execute all nine clans of the Linya people?" Shopkeeper Wu also found it incredible. The secret guards from the Emperor's Dark Sound Guard Battalion were hired in the capital to serve as secret guards for high-ranking officials of the third rank and above. The worst of them would cost 10,000 taels each.
The Linya man actually sold it to Madam Li for only 500 taels. Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?
"Don't worry about this and don't tell anyone else, otherwise it will bring fatal disaster to Madam Li and the people of Linya." Ouyang Mingxuan knew that this should also be the work of the Prime Minister and the Second Prince.
"Master, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter." Manager Wu knew what his master meant.
"By the way, Madam Li, do you know that those secret guards belong to Prince Jin?" Ouyang Mingxuan said to Shopkeeper Wu.
“I don’t know, the Lin Ya people didn’t tell him clearly.
"But it hints at the special identity of their master, which Madam Li should have guessed." Shopkeeper Wu said to Ouyang Mingxuan.
“Since she guessed it, she still dared to buy those secret guards?
Tell me clearly, was it the Linya people who forced it on her? "Ouyang Mingxuan didn't believe that Madam Li would be so stupid.
Knowing that the other party had a high status, he still dared to buy the other party's secret guards.
When the other party comes to ask for the person, she will not give him away.
Judging from her smart appearance, she won't do anything that will end up in vain.
"No, she volunteered.
She also said…” Shopkeeper Wu told Ouyang Mingxuan everything Li Yun had said, and concluded by saying, “Master, such an ignorant village woman will bring disaster to the Master. Please do not cooperate with her anymore.”
"Is everything you said true?
She really said that." Ouyang Mingxuan became even more interested in Madam Li.
What kind of person dares to say such a thing?
To put it bluntly, that is treasonous and if others hear it, they may be executed along with their entire clan.
"Every word I say is the truth, and I would never dare to deceive my boss.
"Boss, you'd better not cooperate with Madam Li anymore and stay away from her," Shopkeeper Wu advised Ouyang Mingxuan earnestly.
"It's okay, I know my limits, she's just being true to herself.
However, you can't tell anyone else about this.
Also, tell the people of Linya to keep their mouths shut.
If word gets out about Madam Li, you know what to do." Ouyang Mingxuan said to Shopkeeper Wu with a serious face.
Throughout history, perhaps only Ouyang Mingxuan could be said to be the one who committed beheading as a sign of true character.
"I understand. I will tell the people in Linya tomorrow." Shopkeeper Wu saw his boss's face change. He looked interested in Madam Li just now, but his face turned black the next second, as if he wanted to eat him.
"Tomorrow?" Ouyang Mingxuan wanted to knock open Shopkeeper Wu's head to see what was inside.
Such an important thing is left until tomorrow. I wonder if he will tell many people about it tonight?
I'm afraid it will spread early tomorrow morning.
How could he choose such a stupid person to be the shopkeeper and hand over the Qingshan County business to him?
Is he really capable of doing it?
"I'll go now." Shopkeeper Wu said in panic.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, which rescued Manager Wu.
"What's the matter?" Shopkeeper Wu asked the person outside the door.
"Shopkeeper, the waiter from the grocery store came to see you and said that Shopkeeper Zhou wants you to come over.
"The lady who sells colored glass has appeared and sold a colored glass mirror to Shopkeeper Zhou," the waiter outside the door said to Shopkeeper Wu.
"You tell him to go back and I'll come over." Ouyang Mingxuan said to the waiter outside the door.
“Yes, Boss.
I will go and inform him." After saying this, the waiter outside the door left.
Manager Wu went to inform the coachman to prepare the carriage to take the boss to Huimin Grocery Store, and he went to Guanya to find Linya Ren.
When Ouyang Mingxuan arrived at Huimin Grocery Store, Li Yun had just left, so the two of them missed each other.
