Yang Taozhi was the commander of the garrison and only obeyed Zhao Huan. Her killing of Liu Song could not really be considered acting on her own initiative.
She has that right.
Zhao Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's just that killing is a common thing for Zhao Huan, but it's a distant thing for him. He hasn't developed the habit of dealing with problems by ending other people's lives.
Yang Taozhi convinced him with just one sentence.
They've all recognized Zhao Wu, why not kill him and keep him around for the New Year?
The exposure of the identity of the behind-the-scenes owner of Dongji Trading Company could very likely trigger a series of chain reactions, making the people of Yanchuan wonder if the spoiled brat who had always acted outrageously actually had a business mind. Since he was able to open Dongji Trading Company, could he also have other businesses in secret?
If this matter reaches the imperial court, will the emperor and the prime minister think...? This kid Zhao Cheng, he's working so hard to manage his business, and on the surface he's pretending to want to eat, drink and have fun for the rest of his life, what is he planning to do?
Was it his own doing, or Zhao Huan's idea?
With such a good acting skill, can we still trust him in the future?
The more Zhao Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Song deserved to die.
In order to prevent my development strategy of 'developing stealthily and avoiding recklessness' from being disrupted, only the mouths of the dead can be sealed shut.
Zhao Cheng stopped talking about the matter and looked sternly at Dong Shier, saying, "Old Dong, I don't want this to happen a second time."
When facing Liu Song, Dong Shier acted like a gangster boss. But seeing Zhao Cheng's words, he immediately knelt down on one knee, his face full of apology, and said, "Master! I'm sorry!!"
Zhao Cheng frowned and said, "I don't want your apology, and I won't accept it. I want you to do your job properly! If you can't do your job well, then you'd better open your eyes and choose your people wisely!"
"Yes!!!" Dong Twelve responded emphatically.
"Tell the factory that we will stop manufacturing soap immediately."
"Yes!" Dong Shier stood up and asked, "What about the orders we promised the customers?"
"Use existing inventory to replenish it. If the inventory is insufficient, pay the penalty according to the contract!"
"How do you explain the reason for the stock shortage to customers?"
"The big boss who makes soap has come to Yanchuan. He's very dissatisfied with the current business and wants to stop production and reform!"
Dong Shier exclaimed in surprise, "Master, you...you're going to reveal yourself?"
"Are you stupid? If I show myself, I'll have killed Liu Song for nothing!" Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Wu and said, "There's another one like you who doesn't use his brain when he goes out."
Zhao Wu looked at Dong Shier with schadenfreude: "Nice to meet you."
"I have my own arrangements for the big boss's affairs."
With that, Zhao Cheng walked outside and said, "Just do your job well!"
...
Heaven and earth.
Fourth floor.
Zhao Cheng adjusted his belt, sat down at the small round table to drink tea, and then Sisi came out from the inner room, wiped her mouth, and tried to snatch Zhao Cheng's cup.
Zhao Cheng dodged to the side and said, "Haven't you finished drinking yet?"
Sisi patted Zhao Cheng on the back and said in a coquettish tone, "You're so naughty, I need to rinse my mouth!"
"What a pity to have such excellent tea!"
Zhao Cheng handed the cup to Sisi and pinched her voluptuous body through the thin veil.
Sisi sat down on Zhao Cheng's lap and twisted her serpentine waist, making the chair under Zhao Cheng creak.
"You little vixen, you're quite the prodigy. Mother Zheng hasn't spoiled you for nothing. If I get Mr. Pu to write a poem for you, you can sing and dance to it, and I guarantee you'll become the number one courtesan in Yanchuan!"
"You also know Mr. Pu?" Sisi wrapped her arms around Zhao Cheng's neck and said, almost touching her lips, "Actually, I've always been curious about your identity. Every time you come, you get Zheng Mama to give you a room on the fourth floor to rest. I've never seen anyone else with that kind of treatment except you."
"Me? Zhao Cheng."
“Zhao Cheng…”
Sisi was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "You're the young prime minister?"
"Yes..."
Sisi was incredibly excited. She cupped Zhao Cheng's lips and gave him a big kiss, saying, "I never imagined I would be serving such an important person as you!"
Zhao Cheng said, "I'm a frequent visitor to Heaven and Earth, and you don't even recognize me? It seems you really are the pheasant that Mother Zheng is grooming."
“That’s not the case anymore.” Sisi leaned on Zhao Cheng’s shoulder, seemingly quite satisfied with the entrustment she had made earlier.
Just then, Zheng's mother's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in," Zhao Cheng said.
After entering, Zheng Hongxiu glanced left and right at the door before closing it and walking up to Zhao Cheng with a serious expression.
Seeing Zheng Hongxiu's expression, Sisi quickly got off Zhao Cheng's lap.
Zheng Hongxiu asked, "Old... are you satisfied with the results of the inspection?"
Zhao Cheng said, "I have no problem with that. But I'll ask you one more time, are you sure you can trust her?"
Zheng Hongxiu nodded solemnly and said, "Absolutely no problem!"
Sisi, standing to the side, was completely bewildered by the conversation between Zhao Cheng and Zheng Hongxiu.
Zhao Cheng didn't let Sisi wonder for long before standing up and saying, "Sisi, haven't you always been curious about my identity? I am Zhao Cheng, that's true, but I'm also the owner here."
Upon hearing this, Sisi stared at Zhao Cheng, speechless with shock.
Zhao Cheng said, “I can indeed get Mr. Pu to write lyrics for you and personally package you, making you a legend in the Yan Chuan mortal world. But unfortunately, I have another path for you to take. If you are willing, then after I tell you, you must do it. If you are not willing, I will not say it, but I will still package you according to the plan and let you start business.”
"You choose."
"No need to choose!" Sisi knelt down immediately and said, "I'll do whatever the boss tells me to do!!"
