Chapter 640 Temporary Peace

   "I heard King An mentioned that five years ago in the west of the city, a family of four was killed when they went to the Huguo Temple to offer incense, and it was this organization that did it.

   But because there are too few clues, the person behind the scenes has not been found so far. "

   "A family of four, what does the family do?"

   "The merchant is in the wood and bamboo business."

   "Take a good look at Su Laoqi, and see what he's doing in secret, and staring at the fourth and the prime minister's mansion.

   Remember to be careful, don't startle snakes. When the emperor said this, thinking of Steward Feng's accusation, he asked, "By the way, has Su Laoqi been in the capital recently?" "

   "Should be there. I heard that Su Laoqi was struck by lightning in the Kangwang Mansion some time ago, and he has been training in the capital recently?"

   "I was struck by lightning, when did it happen?" The emperor asked in a daze.

   "It was around the time of the full moon, Miss Kang's mansion. She should be better now."

  The emperor's eyes narrowed involuntarily after hearing this, it would be a big winter, and it is impossible to thunder in a big winter, so this is the thunder that came from the mother goddess.

   It seems that Su Laoqi has done a lot of bad things.

  Then thought of it, the fourth child followed the boss to forcibly change the officials under him.

   But the fourth child has always been in the capital, but Su Laoqi has been running around all year round under the pretext of doing business.

So…….

   then ordered: "Check this Su Laoqi well."

   "Yes." Xiao Heng responded and withdrew.

   After returning home, the housekeeper Feng wrote a letter directly to King Rui, telling him all the recent events.

   After that, the corpses of the killers were simply disposed of, and transported to the barren hills outside the city, and two people were sent to watch the corpses nearby.

   Naturally, Prime Minister Su did not dare to be idle, and immediately sent someone to call Su Laoqi back after leaving the palace.

   Tell him that Steward Feng was looking for someone to confront him, and let Rang appease his subordinates and calm down temporarily.

   Since then, the capital has returned to temporary stability.

   Soon there was good news, that is, the grain merchants brought new rice from the south and a relatively small amount of sweet potatoes.

  Although the price is more than ten times more expensive, it is not obvious when making seeds.

   It happened that there were more than 100 acres of paddy fields on Zhuangzi, so Zhou Ying bought rice seeds to make up for it. As for sweet potatoes, she directly inserted some into the grass on Xinzhuangzi.

   It was determined that after the Dragon Boat Festival in May in Daming, Zhou Ying bought a batch of glutinous rice and zongzi leaves through a grain merchant, and took the opportunity to take a batch from the space and distribute it to Qingshui Town.

   Then I simply cleaned the restaurant in the capital.

   Looking for an opportunity to take out a lot of jujubes, candied dates, adzuki beans, salted duck eggs, fresh meat, and bacon from the space, they began to pack various flavors of zongzi and sell them in preparation for the opening of the restaurant.

  It may be because of the fresh taste, the business is quite hot, especially in the wealthy circles of Dongcheng and Xicheng, the booking is made directly to the day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

   At noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, Niu Fugui walked into the main room with a smile on his face and said, "Madam, all the accounts are finished, this is the account book."

   "Oh, from the look on your face, you know that we have made a lot of money in the past two weeks?"

   "Indeed, counting the gifts we gave, we sold another 200,000 rice dumplings, making a net profit of 5,600 taels of silver.

   From now on, we can do it once a year, and it is relatively easy to earn money. "

   "To put it bluntly, the savory zongzi is still fresh, and everyone wants to try it, so the price has been raised.

   You may not be able to earn so much in the future, but when the restaurant opens, you may indeed try it.

   I’ve been working hard lately, I bought two sheep in the morning, and in the evening we eat barbecue in the whole house. "
