Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 243 Long-term layout
At night, Fan Ning was sitting in his study room reading a book, but heard a knock on the door outside, which made Fan Ning a little strange, it was already dark, why did someone still come to visit, could it be Su Liang?
Fan Ning walked out of the yard and opened the door, and it turned out to be Xu Qing standing outside, which made Fan Ning angry and funny, "Why did you change your sex today, and it didn't fall from the sky?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "The reason why I didn't walk up to the roof is because a stone was tied to my leg."

'Stone? '

Fan Ning looked on his lap, and there was no stone. He was about to ask, but found that Xu Qing was followed by a person with a relatively short stature. I am afraid that this was the stone Xu Qing was talking about.

"Who's behind you?"

Xu Qing turned around and said with a smile, "Come in! It's here."

The person behind came forward slowly, and Fan Ning could see clearly that she was a young lady about ten years old, wearing a flowered cloth dress, with a small bundle on her arm, she seemed a little timid.

"Who is she?" Fanning asked.

"She is the daughter of the cook in the third master's house, named Xiaodong, and the young master arranged her to serve you."

Fan Ning was taken aback. How could this work? Although he had thought of finding a little maid, he just thought about it. He was not mentally prepared to let the little maid into the house.

"Xu Qing, take her back quickly and tell Zhu Pei that I don't need a maid here."

Xu Qing was troubled, "Little official, you know the temper of the little master, let me take Xiaodong back, she insists on killing me, or you can explain it to her tomorrow, and then I will take it back."

At this time, the little girl next to her suddenly started to cry. She didn't want to come, but she couldn't accept that the other party wanted to send her back. Being laughed at.

Xu Qing said helplessly to Fan Ning: "Everyone is here, why don't the little officials let her in first, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Seeing the little girl crying, Fan Ning couldn't bear it, so he nodded, "Let's talk first!"

Fan Ning let the two of them in, pointed to the room where Qian Cheng Yuanyuan lived, and said to the little maid: "You will rest in that room tonight, it used to be where a young lady lived, and she won't come anymore , the bedding is complete, but no one has lived in it for almost a month, so you can tidy up a little yourself."

Xiaodong bestowed a blessing on Fan Ning, then bowed his head and went to Westinghouse.

Only then did Fan Ning look at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing quickly said, "Leave me alone, I will find a place to live myself!"

Fanning laughed angrily, "I know you like to sleep on the roof, you can do whatever you want, but if I want to know about that rogue, come with me!"

Xu Qing followed Fan Ning into the study, Fan Ning sat down and asked, "How is it?"

Xu Qing said with a smile: "That poppi lost an ear, he escaped from the capital overnight, and went back to his hometown, Fengqiu County, and will never appear again."

"I know you will take care of that rogue, but I want to know who sent him? What purpose does the other party want to achieve?"

"Reporting to the little official, it is the shopkeeper Yang of the Mingzhu Qishi Pavilion, the middle-aged man in the purple brocade robe. He hired this Yang Gun'er at a daily price of money to make trouble. According to Yang Gun'er, the other party just wants Shi Po God has no business to do."

Fan Ning nodded. Xu Qing's information was exactly the same as what the second uncle knew. It seemed that Zhang Yaocheng was behind the scenes.

"Little official, let me clean up the Pearl and Kistler Pavilion! I'll go now, so they won't be able to open tomorrow."

Fan Ning shook his head. Cleaning up the Pearl and Kistler Hall is at best an outlet. If the owner is not the Zhang family, he can do this, clean up the Pearl and Kistler Hall, and then everyone sits down and discusses cooperation to make the Tianhuangshi market bigger .

But now the opponent is Zhang Yaocheng, so it doesn't make much sense to do so.

Fan Ning walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned around and asked, "Does that Yang Guner know who Shi Potian's proprietor is?"

"He probably doesn't know. If he knew, he wouldn't dare to come. However, the young master often goes to the store. Today Jianmeizi made a move again. They should all know that this store is related to the Zhu family."

Fan Ning nodded, and said to Xu Qing: "Jianmeizi's action today means that the Zhu family will show up. I guess the other party will not dare to act rashly again for a while. Help me investigate something."

Fan Ning whispered a few words to Xu Qing, and Xu Qing said with a smile: "I like to do things that harm others and benefit myself. Don't worry, small officials, I will definitely find out where they are stored."

Xu Qing saluted, turned around to leave, hesitated at the door, turned to Fan Ning and said, "Little official, Xiaodong should try it out for a few days first! If it doesn't work, send her back, or the little master will be angry."

"Okay, I know how to deal with this matter, you go!"

Xu Qing clasped his fists, and with a slight jerk of his body, he jumped onto the wall, and then rushed up to the roof and ran into the distance.

Fan Ning was quite amazed, he really had the ability to fly over the wall, and he went up the eight-foot-high wall with a single swipe. In the future, wouldn't he become the world champion of high jump.

Since Zhang Yaocheng decided to start the Kistler Museum business, he bought the Pearl Kistler Museum from a wealthy businessman. After taking over for half a month, he found that the business was not as good as he imagined, and the daily turnover was only four to five hundred yuan. He was extremely annoyed that none of Tian Huangshi, which had been expected to be sold, was sold.

The business of Kistler Museum is far from that of the former Fuguiqiao Guanpu Store, but now the business of Fuguiqiao Guanpu Store has also plummeted, half of the store has been closed, and under the deliberate urging and suppression of the other two competitors Next, the matter of imperial examination betting continued to ferment and never subsided, like a demon that was constantly devouring the business of Guanpudian, and eventually it would eat up his Guanpudian until there was nothing left.

Zhang Yaocheng hated and was angry, but there was nothing he could do. In addition, the current Pearl Kistler Museum was not as rich as he imagined, so he was in a very bad mood these days.

In the room, while drinking tea, Zhang Yaocheng listened to the report from the storekeeper Yang Da of the Qishi Pavilion.

He doesn't have any confidants who understand stones, so he just wants to keep the original shopkeeper Yang, but he is still very dissatisfied with this shopkeeper Yang, and he didn't even sell a piece of Tianhuang stone. What's the use of giving him such a high salary?

Shopkeeper Yang saw the coldness in the proprietor's eyes, and he reported tremblingly: "To the proprietor, that rogue Yang Guner went to make trouble today as promised. It started smoothly, but then something happened?"

"Did the other party clean up that rogue?"

"That's true. The other party has several subordinates with high martial arts skills. I witnessed with my own eyes that a stone weighing fifty or sixty kilograms was smashed to pieces by a woman's sword. And just now I got the news that Yang Cudgel was cut off by someone. One ear, and ran away overnight."

"Hmph! The person you are looking for is too useless."

Shopkeeper Yang was full of embarrassment, "We can only find rogues to make trouble. If we find powerful people, things will become big. The proprietor, the other party also has a background."

One sentence reminded Zhang Yaocheng that he asked shopkeeper Yang to check the backstage background of the other party, but he still hasn't told himself.

'boom! Zhang Yao slapped the table heavily, and said angrily, "How can I tell you that I asked you to check their backgrounds, but you haven't told me yet."

Shopkeeper Yang trembled in fright, and quickly explained: "The humble job has found some clues, but I'm not sure, so it's useless for the time being."

"Why don't you say it? If the other party is a store opened by the emperor, I will offend the emperor. Are you trying to kill me on purpose?"

Shopkeeper Yang plopped down on his knees, kowtowed and explained: "Don't be angry, the proprietor, the other party is not too powerful. According to the investigation by the humble staff, this store may be opened by the Zhu family!"

"The Zhu family?"

Zhang Yaocheng frowned: "Is it Zhu Guifei's natal family?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Yaocheng thought for a while and then asked: "Did they do anything unfavorable to the Pearl Kistler Museum?"

"Not so far!"

The Zhu family was the natal family of the former emperor's noble concubine, and the Zhang family was the natal family of the current emperor. Both belonged to foreign relatives, but in terms of financial resources and powerful influence, the Zhang family was far inferior to the Zhu family.

Moreover, there is a tacit understanding among the relatives of the various families in the Song Dynasty, taking care of the emperor's face, not infringing on each other's interests, and maintaining a superficial harmony.

Zhang Yaocheng also realized that he had made a mistake. He disgusted the Zhu family's Strange Stone Hall, which did him no good at all, but offended the Zhu family. When his brother found out, he had to scold him to death.

After much deliberation, the shopkeeper in front of him did not tell him the background of the other party in time, which was entirely his responsibility.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yaocheng glared viciously at Shopkeeper Yang, "That's the end of this matter, but let me warn you first, if you can't sell ten Tianhuang stones within two days, you can pack up your things and get out of the shop!"
