Chapter 27 Start the harvest

After briefly talking to my father about the purpose of the second prince, Zhongli left the main hall and called Lu Yuan and a few guards to leave Zhong's mansion.

"Young master, do you really want to do this?" Lu Yuan asked with some concern.

Zhongli's body has not yet fully recovered. If there is any problem at that time, he is afraid he will not be able to bear it.

"It's okay, this move is to contribute to the second prince, and we can get some benefits." Zhongli smiled, his face still a little pale.

"But..." Lu Yuan was still a little worried, "Once things get big, you and the master..."

After working with the right prince for so long, Lu Yuan certainly would not know nothing. Once a problem arises, I am afraid that the entire Zhong Mansion will be doomed!

Zhongli smiled bitterly, but he didn't know, but now he has no choice.

"It won't be a problem!" Zhongli said firmly. Since the second prince said that he could restrain the prince, he believed that the second prince could do it.

As for the prince's investigation, Zhongli was not worried. He had many reasons to deny the past. If the prince was smart, he would not be unable to get along with his family at this time.

After walking along the East Street for a while, Zhongli came to the door of the first store marked by the second prince, a silk shop.

After looking at the sign at the door, Zhongli walked inside with his foot.

"Cheer, please, please! What do you need to do?" The servant who was welcoming guests at the door greeted warmly.

Zhongli walked straight in and ignored him.

Lu Yuan scolded from behind: "Go and let your shopkeeper come out!"

Lu Yuan led a few guards to flock into the shop.

The guy was scolded by Lu Yuan, and for a moment he was at a loss. He hurriedly ran to the inner room to find the shopkeeper.

Lu Yuan took out a chair from the inside and placed it behind Zhongli. Zhongli sat down and looked inside the shop.

The decoration of the store is quite exquisite, with various silk fabrics hanging around for people to choose from.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you know how to do business." Zhong Li praised softly. Seeing the exquisite and clean interior of the shop, I thought I was very concerned.

Soon, the guy at the door walked out of the gap with a man. The man had a mustache and a scarf on his head, which looked like a Confucian scholar.

"This guest official, I am the shopkeeper of this shop. Chen Ping. I don't know if there is anything I need help?" the man said politely.

People who do business have many contacts with people on weekdays. Judging from Zhongli's outfit, he already guessed that Zhongli's identity is extraordinary.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Zhongli was interrupted by another voice inside.

"Shopkeeper! What's going on? My young master is in a hurry to make clothes. Why are you..." With a burst of impatient urging, a figure walked out from the inside.

Zhongli looked closely and laughed.

It was actually the servant in Chen Jin's family, Chen San.

Chen San also saw Zhongli. At this time, Zhongli was sitting on the chair, his face still a little pale and looked very weak.

However, Chen San was like seeing a ghost, and he couldn't stop sweating.

"Chen San, how is your master?" Zhongli asked with concern. He really wanted to know Chen Jin's situation.

"It's still... it's okay." Chen San walked to Zhongli with his teeth and said stutteringly.

"What are you doing so hard, let me tell you to be honest!" Lu Yuan slapped Chen San on the shoulder and shouted loudly.

Chen San was so scared that he trembled and said hurriedly: "Go back to my son, my young master has been a little crazy since he returned home last night. He has not recovered yet. The young man was sent by his wife to come out to choose a few new clothes for the son and wife..."

After saying that, Chen San quietly looked up at Zhongli.

He heard everything that happened last night from the master at home. The person who scared his son crazy was right in front of him. At this moment, he was also very frightened.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I'm scared of your young master. I'm also ashamed. Say hello to your young master on my behalf, you can go first." Zhongli smiled and waved his hand to let Chen San leave.

"But..." Chen San hesitated a little, and had not made his clothes yet.

"If you let me leave, you will leave, are you looking for a beating?" Lu Yuan roared.

Chen San was so excited that he never dared to stay for a long time and quickly left the store.

Chen Ping stood aside, a little embarrassed, and looked at Zhongli from time to time. The person in front of him didn't even care about the Chen family?

"Chen Ping..." Zhongli shouted.

Chen Ping hurriedly approached and said with a flattering smile: "Young man, what are the instructions?"

"Your shop will not be opened from today. This is the compensation for you. Let's leave here from now on." Zhongli said softly, and Lu Yuan immediately handed Chen Ping a handful of Taoist beads, with only thirty or forty.

"This...this..." Chen Ping's face turned red. When the other party came to the door, he actually wanted to rob his shop as soon as he opened his mouth. More than thirty Taoist beads. What's the difference between this and robbing?

"What's this! Just get out of here!" Lu Yuan was a little impatient and shouted loudly.

Chen Ping's face turned cold, and he no longer had the flattery he had before.

"Do you guys, do you know whose property this shop is?" Chen Ping sneered and said disdainfully.

"Hehe, how can I not know when I come here? Your surname is Chen, and I guess you are from Chen Jin's family, right?" Zhongli laughed helplessly. He didn't really want to go against the prince at this time, but because of the situation, he had to do it.

"Since you know, you still dare to do this!?" Chen Ping's face turned red and he asked sternly.

Lu Yuan frowned and wanted to punish this guy who dared to be disrespectful to his son. Zhongli reached out to stop him.

"I have already made it clear. You can leave immediately. If there is anything, let your master come to me. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhongli sat on the chair, his eyes always condensed in the void, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Chen Ping pointed at Zhongli and couldn't speak for a long time. He looked at the guards around him, snorted fiercely, turned around and returned to the inner room to pack up.

"Young Master, let's do this..." Chen Ping left, Lu Yuan attached himself to Zhongli's ear and asked softly.

"It's okay." Zhongli replied lightly, and the second prince took care of the rest of the matter.

Although I dare not trust the second prince completely, at this time, the second prince will not play any tricks and will definitely help him hold the prince back.

Soon, Chen Ping came out of the inner room with a package on his back and stared at Zhongli hatefully.

He knew in his heart that no matter how hard he struggled today, he could not escape the fate of the store being stolen. It was better to leave first and look for foreign aid.

"What are you looking at!? Are you looking for a beating?" Seeing Chen Ping looking at Zhongli with that look, Lu Yuan shouted dissatisfiedly.

"I dare to rob the prince's property. I think you will be rampant until you are rampant!" Chen Ping spat, glanced at Lu Yuan and said.

Lu Yuan "cuts" and ignored him.

Zhongli stood up and was about to ask Lu Yuan and his men to take away the goods in the shop when he suddenly heard Chen Ping's surprise call at the door.

"Young Master Zhao, you are here, it's great!"

Zhongli raised his eyebrows. Did Zhao An come here after receiving the news, or did he happen to come here?

In a blink of an eye, Chen Ping turned his head and came back, followed by Zhao An and Chen San.

Zhongli's eyes narrowed. Chen San was not stupid, so he went directly to Zhao An to help.

"Hehe, Brother Zhong, I went to bed until late last night, but I got up so early today. Are you in good health?" Zhao An walked in with a smile holding a folding fan.

"Brother Zhao got up early enough. I wonder what wind blew you?" Zhongli also smiled and replied as he looked at the other party.
