The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Xie Changshi and Shopkeeper Wen were right. The idea to stop the workers from staying was indeed Li Yanping's idea.

Li Yanping fainted after learning that the casino was closed. Before he could ask about the specific situation, it was already noon the next day when he woke up.

He didn't even have time to drink the medicine, so he hurriedly called all the shopkeepers over and asked what was going on in the casino.

Qian Kang's face was full of anger: "It's not the wrong time to blame Huang Fu for his death."

Li Yanping?
He flew over with a glare, but Qian Kang didn't notice it at all. He kept talking: "He asked the people in the casino to frame the drug boy at Li Kee Medical Center. If you want to frame him, just be patient and let others fall into his trap." Ah, he's good, but for only half a month, he wanted those two drug boys to betray their original employer."

Qian Kang felt that he was really going to be pissed off by Huang Fu. He had such a good idea at that time. As long as Huang Fu took his time, Wen's Medical Center would definitely collapse in less than a year!

"Not only that, he committed suicide and didn't know how to clean up his tail, so that the people of Qi Prefect followed the clues and caught him in the casino."

Li Yanping narrowed his eyes slightly. Are you talking about him?

Qian Kang shook his head and sighed: "I can't say anything even if a person dies. After all, it doesn't matter if the casino is closed down. At worst, we can continue to open in another place. But the problem is that the casino owner and accountants all go to Xinliang to cultivate officialdom, and the guests They were also sent to Xinliang to cultivate wasteland. Who knows in Changzhou now, if you dare to gamble again, you will end up in Xinliang!"

"What did you say?" Li Yanping stood up suddenly and looked at the shopkeepers present, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"

The shopkeeper of the casino knows a lot of secrets of the business. After being arrested for so long, who knows how much he has revealed!
Upon seeing this, Qian Kang understood Li Yanping's worries and comforted him: "Don't worry, shopkeeper. Shopkeeper Liu's son is still in Quanzhou. He knows what to say and what not to say. Moreover, I asked the general judge about the situation. Yes, it was said that shopkeeper Liu only spit out the hidden silver and nothing else."

Hearing this, Li Yanping's expression brightened slightly. After all, the money from the casino was turned over every month, and even if the prefect Qi searched, they couldn't find much.

But as long as a person is alive, everything will change.

You know, Zheng Dian, the criminal secretary of the prefect's Yamen, is a ruthless character.

Li Yanping slowly turned the beads, but he already had some concerns in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Qian Kang said: "Shopkeeper Li, I think that compared to shopkeeper Liu, Dong Cheng, the accountant, has a bigger problem."

Li Yanping's eyelids jumped up involuntarily: "What do you mean by this?"

Qian Kang became even angrier now. He stood up and walked around the room, his voice getting louder and louder: "Prefect Qi raided the casino and didn't find much, but he stole at least 5 taels of silver from the yard of the director's accounting room. . And most importantly, there is a ledger in the director’s house.”

What was recorded in it was unknown even to the judge, so Qian Kang naturally couldn't find out the information.

5 taels of silver, how much is that!
How much money does he earn from selling grain after a year of hard work?

How dare a casino accountant embezzle so much money!

Qian Kang's heart was really unbalanced, and his tone was naturally a bit resentful: "The silver that was confiscated from the yard of the casino stewards was 10 taels. The prefect of Qi is also a ruthless person. He said that the government was being tricked. I gave half of the confiscated silver to the Wen Mansion."

Isn't this equivalent to giving money to Wenfu!
Qian Kang's eyes rolled around: "Big shopkeeper, do you think the person behind Wenfu is Prefect Qi?"

If this is the case, these abnormal actions of Governor Qi can be explained.

Li Yanping was too lazy to deal with this idiot Qian Kang. He punched the table and his face became gloomy: "Wenfu, Wenfu, Wenfu again!" In the past few months of being aggrieved in Jiangnan, he certainly knew that Chu His Highness the King did not take Prince Wen, a child of several years old, seriously.

Even he felt that the opening of the escort agency was just the result of King Wen's staff being unwilling to accept the fate of being exiled, and King Wen was just a puppet.

Li Yanping always believed that these staff had some brains but not much. After all, those who were truly capable would definitely find a way out for themselves before King Wen was exiled.

Even now, Li Yanping has not changed his mind.

A large part of the reason why the Wen family is able to do so is the support of the prefect of Qi. The other part is probably because King Wen still has some luck.

Business people are the most superstitious.

But let's forget it. Not to mention that he doesn't agree, even the shopkeepers present will not agree.

Qian Kang took a quick look and saw that Shopkeeper Li's face was ashen: "Shopkeeper Li, we can't just forget about the medical clinic. We have money and people, so we just need to find someone to open a new medical clinic. The prices of all aspects of medicinal materials are high. It’s [-]% lower than Wen’s Medical Center, and I believe we can regain the market soon.”

In the past few months, due to Li Yanping's absence and the relationship between Wenshi and Wen Wang, many drug stores came to Wenshi to seek cooperation.

Li Ji's medicinal materials have been out of stock for several months, and even now they are still on a downward trend.

If this continues, there is no guarantee that Li Ji's medicinal materials will completely lose the market in Mobei.

From a young age, it was revealed that King Wen was in full swing in Xinliang's land reclamation and had even produced two new kinds of grains. For Qian Kang, this was simply the worst news among bad news.

He sent someone to inquire quietly and found out that Xinliang had cultivated over a thousand acres of land this year.

With so many refugees coming in the autumn, the fields cultivated by Xinliang next year will definitely be several times more than this year.

As long as the Wen family keeps hold of King Wen, his grain store will definitely not have to worry about selling grain next year!
Thinking of this, Qian Kang panicked in his heart: "Shopkeeper Li, the Wen family first robbed our escort agency, and now our medicine shop is half-dead. If this drags on, Mobei will probably be replaced by someone named Wen." Got it!"

"Okay!" How could Li Yanping not know what Qian Kang was thinking, "Recently, the court will distribute salt, and the matters at the medicine store will have to wait for now. I called you here today just to ask you to bring all the bills. By the way, all our cash is going to be used to buy salt."

The casinos are closed, and the cash this year will definitely be much less than before.

A trace of annoyance flashed across Li Yanping's face.

It happened that the next day came the news that the inn was going to be transferred to Wen's Trading Company. Li Yanping sneered and said: "Go and tell those people. If you want to increase the monthly salary, just do as I say."

Don’t you like to steal other people’s things?

Let them have a taste of being blackmailed by others!
The servants quickly contacted the former innkeeper who came to the inn. When they heard that the monthly payment would be increased, they naturally cooperated.

Especially the chef, who has been working in the inn for more than ten years, is confident that the dignitaries in Changzhou are used to the food he cooks. He secretly thinks that after the Wen family relents, he will ask for a threefold increase in monthly salary!
