Chapter 547 Today is the iron-faced and unfeeling little prince (1 update)
"But I don't quite understand why the Red Lotus Sect only robbed three of the four great families in Jiangnan, leaving the Zheng family's granary alone? I remember that the location of the Zheng family's granary was also discussed by the refugees at the disaster relief site."
The fourth prince was really not good at these intrigues, and he was best at doing research.
"Fifth brother, what do you think?" The little prince did not answer directly, but threw the question directly to the fifth prince who just called him a villain.
The fifth prince looked confident, "Fourth brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you just do experiments all day long and turn a blind eye to things around you. You usually don't even know what's going on outside. You only care about doing experiments, and you don't even understand the tricks involved."
The taciturn fourth prince raised his eyelids, thinking that his younger brother was really getting more and more noisy.
"If you have something to say, just say it. You are talking too much nonsense!"
The fifth prince straightened his back and said confidently, "Our prince is lenient with the Zheng family because the Zheng family is my sister-in-law's family!"
"The sixth prince likes my brother so much and has been cooperating with my sister-in-law in the silk business. This face will naturally be given to the Zheng family."
The fourth prince rolled his eyes, "According to you, the sixth prince can still control the actions of the Red Lotus Sect?"
The fifth prince's expression froze, and then he realized the loophole in his thinking.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the fourth prince's mockery became stronger, "I thought you could come up with some amazing conclusion! It's just like this."
The fifth prince held his breath, but he was indeed unreasonable in this matter.
In the end, he could only look at the young prince, hoping that he could speak up and analyze it.
The young prince suddenly became serious, "Shandong Xunfu is my uncle. My brother was assassinated for me and almost died. Do you think I'm soft on Shandong Xunfu?"
The two of them were silent.
The young prince looked at his two brothers, "You are princes and princes. There may be people in your wives' families and your mother's families who take advantage of your status and do whatever they want. Severe burning, looting, raping women, bullying and monopolizing the market, etc."
The fourth prince and the fifth prince looked at each other, with some uncertainty in their eyes, and they said in unison, "No way?"
The little prince smiled, stood between the two of them, and patted their shoulders with both hands, "In my opinion, corruption, oppression of the people, collusion between officials and businessmen, and harming the countryside are all crimes. It doesn't matter if I don't encounter them, but once I know about it, I won't give anyone face."
He raised the corners of his lips, "I am a professional in house raiding."
The fourth prince and the fifth prince were shocked, as if a basin of cold water was poured over their heads, which made the two of them calm down immediately.
The two looked at each other and decided to write back immediately today and let their subordinates check the details. If there is such a thing, they will solve it first.
Don't wait for the prince to solve it. The prince's health is not very good. He finally gained some weight before, but now after such a hardship, the flesh on his face has fallen off again, and his chin has become more pointed.
With the topic changed, the two forgot to ask why the Zheng family was let go.

Although the flood in Jiangnan is extremely serious, it does not hinder the enjoyment of the children of the aristocratic families. The Qinlou and Chuguan, teahouses and wine shops are still prosperous.
Especially after the little prince brought people to provide disaster relief, there were fewer disaster victims in the city, and soon the prosperous and luxurious scenes of the past were restored.
Among them, the Chen and Tang families fought particularly fiercely with the Zheng family.
The three families were involved in cloth shops, grain and oil shops, wine houses, inns, casinos, brothels, embroidery shops, escort agencies, etc. To support the extravagant life of so many people in the aristocratic families, the aristocratic families naturally had a lot of industries.
The three families fought like this, but the people in the city benefited.
The prices of goods sold in the shops in the city were reduced, and everyone's wallets could save a little.
Of course, there were also wine houses and cloth shops that took the opportunity to open.
Before, the shops in the city were controlled by the four major families, and it was too difficult to do business in the city.
First of all, it was difficult to find a shop in a good location.
While the three families were fighting, the fifth prince's men had quickly obtained several shops, specializing in the business of those aristocratic families and wealthy merchants.
The main point is expensive! Luxury! Highlighting status!
The Fifth Prince is very experienced in making money from these people.
Once the big restaurant is opened, all kinds of food you have never seen before are served, and those dining etiquette and dining methods are extremely exquisite, it is definitely a weapon to attract all kinds of rich children!
It can be said that once the restaurant is opened and all kinds of delicacies are served, the restaurant is almost full every day.
Money is flowing into the box.
The business department earns a lot of money.
But the Chen family, the Tang family, and the Zheng family are still fighting with each other and can't care about this at all.
However, the three heads of the family were still thinking. Although they were fighting endlessly, the price of rice and grain did not change. They knew very well that at this time, whoever had rice and grain would be able to board the prince's ship and guarantee power and wealth for decades to come.
In fact, the three families all suffered losses.
At first, the Tang family and the Chen family just wanted to take revenge on the Zheng family. Why were their granaries robbed, but only the Zheng family was safe and sound?
Maybe the Zheng family was in collusion with the Red Lotus Sect.
The Zheng family would naturally not let the two families unite to suppress their family, so they could only fight back with all their strength. After a few rounds, the three families were really angry.
If this continues, the relationship between the three families will only become more and more tense, and all three families will continue to suffer losses, which is really a loss.
Seeing that more and more new shops are opening in the city, the shopkeepers of the four major families sighed one after another. Similarly, the business of the wine shops has been snatched away by more than half.
It can be said that in this situation, the best business is imported food.
Originally, the shopkeepers of each family would smile from ear to ear when looking at the money that came into the account every day, but since the opening of the No. 1 Restaurant in the World, their business has really gone from bad to worse.
The four heads of the family immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. The only one who did not get involved in the competition, the head of the Yang family, once again invited the three people to his home for a detailed discussion.
However, when the heads of the Chen and Tang families saw the head of the Zheng family, they immediately thought of the losses on the books and started arguing with him.
The head of the Zheng family is no pushover. God knows how much pressure this newly appointed head of the family is under. The Zheng family was originally peaceful under Zheng Ying's leadership, and the development prospects were also very good.
Zheng Ying was suddenly surprised that he became the head of the family, but so many things happened in the family, and some elders in the family were already dissatisfied with him.
Zheng Shanfu was also very upset.
As soon as the three met, they had a verbal war, and the head of the Yang family was of no use.
Just when the three were about to fight, it was the head of the Yang family who spoke up to stop them.
"Everyone, calm down first. This matter is extraordinary. We can't lose our composure and fall into the opponent's trap!"
