More than an hour later.
Cheng He said, "Okay, let's keep this a secret."
"If Mr. Song asks, just say I don't know."
Others: “Okay, got it, don’t worry.”
"Okay, then you guys go back first."
Cheng He said, "Go back and have a good sleep."
After sending everyone away, Cheng He walked back to his room slowly and leisurely.
Before going to bed, I was still thinking about the female owner of the jewelry store.
Her gentle and cold personality really made him feel itchy.
Early the next morning.
Gu Hui accompanied Tang Weiyu to the shop and took stock of the losses.
After taking the registration booklet, he sent Tang Weiyu back to the yard and told her to have a good rest.
I took the registration booklet and went to the restaurant in Jiangxiang.
He knew that Jiang Xiang usually stayed in restaurants.
As soon as he entered the door, he was led by the servant to the door of the wing room. Before he went in, Gu Hui heard a commotion inside.
inside the house.
A dozen people surrounded Jiang Xiang and two other merchants.
"Merchant Jiang! My shop was smashed up yesterday for no reason."
"Those people smashed things as soon as they came in and ran away. My shop is so pitiful..."
"Yeah, those people ran so fast that I couldn't even catch them."
"What should I do?"
"Everything in the shop was smashed, and the clerk was injured..."
“Those people are going too far…”
“How can one live like this…”
These merchants knew without a doubt that it was definitely done by those powerful families.
They used to do this kind of thing.
However, in the past they used some means to "legally" rob.
Now you don’t even do the superficial work?
Just smash and destroy?
So what’s next?
Is it going to be a direct robbery?
Jiang Xiang and the other two merchants felt sad after hearing this.
These powerful families are too blatant.
Aren't they afraid that he will go to the palace and complain to His Majesty?
In the past, Jiang Xiang and other businessmen had no background and no backing.
I can't be tough either.
But now it's different.
They are royal merchants!
There is a plaque bestowed by His Majesty himself.
Someone who has shown his face before His Majesty!
These people actually dared to use these methods against them? !
Gu Hui, who was outside the door, knocked on the door and walked in.
He told Jiang Xiang and other merchants what happened in his wife's shop.
And handed over the registration booklet.
After Jiang Xiang took the booklet and read it, his chest heaved with anger.
Others couldn't help but shout and cry.
“Those people are going too far!”
“They bully us like this…”
"Wow, wow, wow... My shop, all the hard work I put into my life... It's all gone..."
Jiang Xiang said, "Give me a copy of each of the books recording the losses."
He looked at Gao Liu and the other merchant, "Would you be willing to come with me to the palace gate and ask to see His Majesty?"
They received the plaque only yesterday, and today they can request to enter the palace to meet the emperor on the grounds of expressing their gratitude.
Gao Liu and another merchant said, "Yes, we will go with you!"
They have been oppressed by these powerful families for too long.
Now that they finally have hope, they must seek justice for themselves!
only.......
I wonder if Your Majesty will meet them?
Will Your Majesty believe what they say?
Will Your Majesty pay attention to these matters?
Jiang Xiang and other merchants and businessmen didn't know, nor did they dare to think about it.
They can only gamble.
.........
At the palace gate.
Jiang Xiang and two other merchants took a deep breath and walked towards the soldiers guarding the palace gate.
Before they could get close, the soldiers guarding the palace gate drew out their swords and spears to stop them.
Soldier: "The palace gate is a restricted area, no outsiders are allowed to approach!"
Jiang Xiang bowed to the general and said, "Please inform the officer."
"We are the imperial merchants personally appointed by His Majesty. Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu, and Ding Ning have come to express our gratitude and request an audience with His Majesty."
"I hope the official can help us inform you."
kindness?
The imperial merchant personally appointed by His Majesty?
The general said, "Wait here."
"Yes, thank you, sir."
Jiang Xiang put the money bag that he had prepared long ago into the hands of the soldiers without leaving any trace.
See the soldiers and take it.
Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and Ding Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just take the money.
They are not afraid of others collecting it.
I’m afraid others won’t accept it.
After receiving the money, the soldier said that he would go and help them inform the news.
Their chances of meeting His Majesty have increased.
The other soldiers were still guarding the palace gate, while those who had received money from Jiang Xiang turned around and strode into the palace.
.........
Xianyang Palace.
Outside the palace.
The general asked the palace attendant guarding the palace, "Eunuch, is His Majesty inside?"
"There are three people at the palace gate, claiming to be imperial merchants personally appointed by Your Majesty, and they want to see Your Majesty to express their gratitude."
The palace servant said, "Your Majesty is not here."
ah?
Not here?
"Then... I wonder if you know where His Majesty is now?"
The general asked cautiously.
The palace servant said, "Your Majesty and the Imperial Master are in the kitchen. Go over there and take a look."
