Chapter 83 Mind

Wuyun City, Zongfu.

In the back garden full of flowers, there are two figures sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the pond drinking tea.

The small round table in the pavilion is filled with all kinds of snacks and fruits. At this time, one of the middle-aged men in black clothes was casually picking up a piece of pastry to taste.

Just as he put it in his mouth, he frowned, spit out the food in his mouth, and then threw the rest on the maid next to him.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is so unpalatable, go down and receive the punishment."

As soon as the man in Xuanyi finished speaking, the servant girl obediently took down the plate of pastries and went to receive the punishment.

Another man in Tsing Yi saw this, and said calmly, "Brother Zong, as always, pursues perfection."

「It’s not that I don’t have money or food, so why let my tongue be wronged.」

"This... makes a lot of sense."

These two people are Zong Ming, the head of the first family in Wuyun City, and Liao An, the governor of Wuyun City.

After the two chatted for a while, Liao An, the governor of Wuyun City, finally couldn't help but said with some worry: "Brother Zong, tell me...whether they will come to you. After all, they are not easy to fool."

Zong Ming, head of the Zong family, smiled contemptuously, and said slowly:

"It depends on whether they are open or not. If they come, we welcome guests with good wine and tea. If they don't come, we can't force them to come. It's just... if you can't buy food, don't ask for it." I'm blaming the old man. Now that they have come to Wuyun City, they shouldn't put on that high air. Is it possible that they haven't heard the saying that guests do as they please? I didn't intervene too much in the **** agency to save face , but when it comes to buying food, they can’t do what they say. It’s a fool not to make good money.”

"But the imperial envoy is the one... Besides, the group that Shouzheng said was traveling with him are not ordinary people. Even... the second prince came in person..."

"So what about that one, what about the second prince? The combined age of the two of us can be their ancestors. Besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They have nothing to do with this Wuyun City. This food... except for me, there is no me No one would dare to sell him without permission. And... I don’t believe it, he just takes it as a breeze? If he has money but doesn’t make money, he’s probably out of his mind.”

Inspector Wu Yun frowned slightly, and continued: "If he wanted to make money, wouldn't he have taken the initiative to come to you long ago?"

"He can't let go of his airs of being an official. I'm not used to him. If you want to buy grain, you can come to me in person. Otherwise, don't even think about transporting a single grain from Wuyun."

As he spoke, Zong Ming smiled coldly.

He hates these young and energetic people the most.

As everyone knows, the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake.

No matter how powerful the character is, once he comes to his territory, he must abide by his rules.

He collected all the food in Wuyun City.

Just waiting for someone from the court to sell the grain at a high price.

If the superiors blamed him, he would have his own excuse.

This thing is rare and expensive.

Since it is rare, it is understandable to raise the price!

If the imperial envoy can be "like-minded" with him, then he will be happy to save trouble. If...the other party relies on his youth and arrogance, he also has a way to make a deal with himself.

The food is here with him, want to buy it? Can.

Then you have to pay his price.

Otherwise, don't even think about being able to buy food at normal prices.

Thinking of this, Zong Ming picked up another piece of snack in a good mood, and when he was about to put it in his mouth, the servants sent out in the morning rushed over rashly.

"Master Zong! It's not good!"

Zong Ming said with a gloomy face: "It's really bad luck, who is wrong? After reporting the matter, go down and receive the punishment."

The other party froze, then he sniffed and said, "Master Zong, don't want to have the same knowledge as the little one. The little one said that the imperial envoy...he found another place to buy food..."

This person is the middle-aged man who went to Jinzhong Tower to show off his might.

It's not that he didn't know the identity of the other party, but he was ordered to threaten the other party.

Zong Ming originally wanted to send people to threaten them, and they would come after they found out the owner of the Shunhe Chamber of Commerce.

After that, he pretended to be ignorant and punished his subordinates.

In the end...not to mention the waste of a play he planned, he was actually told that the other party had found another place to buy food?

In this city...he can think of other houses that have food.

but!

After he ordered not to buy and sell grain at will, does anyone dare to act behind his back?

Thinking that the other party is the royal family, Zong Ming will let him go easily?

This... I'm afraid they don't want to hang around in Wuyun City anymore!

Patting the table vigorously, Zong Ming continued to speak gloomyly: "Which company is so bold that it doesn't want to open for business in the future?"

The middle-aged man swallowed, and answered slowly:

"Yes... yes... the people from the West Building!"

「West...lou???」

Zong Ming's original gloomy expression instantly burst.

…

When Ruan Youqing and the others returned to the inn, Li Qian and the others had already been back for a long time.

"Is it going well?" Ruan Youqing asked.

Li Ange had already sat next to Ruan Youqing, and when she heard her question, she hurriedly answered with a smile:

"It went well! I thought that the people in the bodyguard bureau would not easily agree to **** the food to Jingbian, but the second brother had just finished speaking, and the person in charge readily agreed. After all, food in Jingbian is more expensive than food." Gold and silver are worth more, and you will definitely meet those desperate people on the road who have some thoughts of robbery.”

Ruan Youqing listened, slightly surprised: "Is this what the princess thought of?"

Li Ange blushed slightly, and laughed a little: "Well... It's not really what I thought of, it was mentioned casually by Brother Erhuang on the way there... I borrowed it..."

Hearing Li Ange's answer, Ruan Youqing smiled knowingly.

She knew that Li Ange, a little flower in the greenhouse, shouldn't consider things so carefully.

It's not that she despises her, but that she is pure and can't imagine the dark side of human nature at all.

After everyone was in a good mood and ate some food, Li Ange smiled brightly and said, "I heard... there is a Temple of the Goddess of Flowers in Wuyun City. Anyone who goes to the temple to petition, as long as they are sincere, it will come true. Anyway It's still early... why don't we go for a stroll?"

"Flora Goddess?" Ruan Youqing repeated softly.

While she was in a trance, Gu Changan quietly said: "Then let's go and have a look."

Seeing that it was Gu Changan who agreed first, the others were shocked by his abnormal behavior.

Only Wei Jue curled his lips, and casually opened his mouth:

"You...you can't go to petition to let Miss Ruan marry you earlier, can you?"
