Chapter 90

The slave-building spies

When entering the inner city from the outer city, you usually go through inspection. However, since you are coming from the outer city, there are often people visiting relatives or people coming in and out without ID cards, so the inspection is not very strict. You have to pay a few copper coins.

It can pass.

"Please inform the Lord immediately to find and capture the small city guard flag that was posted three days ago at Shuncheng Gate. Then find out what the householder usually does and why no one has gone to investigate after being kidnapped for three days. Hurry up.

I'll go check it out. I've delayed His Majesty's order, so don't ask for any more money."

"I'll be there soon!"

The hundreds of Jin Yiwei who were accompanying the case took orders and left quickly. They didn't know Chen Ye's identity, but they knew that the Ming Royal Company was protected by His Majesty. Now the owner of the Ming Royal Company was assassinated in the street. If you don't run away, hurry up.

I'm going to eat it up.

One afternoon, the Jin Yiwei who had patrol duties in the capital gathered in Huichang Street to sort things out, and even the crowd of onlookers were frightened by the battle and went home.

At night, Chongzhen received the details from the emergency trial in Dongchang.

"Gao Banban, take a look for yourself, are you satisfied with this survey?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Dongchang has tried his best. The tracks of several assassins entering the city are indeed very clean."

"Today they can assassinate shopkeepers on the street, and tomorrow they can plot to assassinate me. Gao Banban, guess, what should we do with Dongchang who cannot keep the imperial city clean?"

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I will continue to investigate, and I will definitely find out some clues!"

When Gao Yushun heard Chongzhen's words, he was so frightened that he broke into sweat. Was the reason why Wei Zhongxian died in the first place really because he was too greedy?

He quickly promised that he would rather kill the wrong person than let go at this time, otherwise the emperor would have the idea that Dongchang was useless, and no one in Dongchang, including him, would be able to escape.

"Chongzhen: Shopkeeper, who do you think did this? Is there anyone in history who has done something to me?"

"Chen Ye: There is no such thing as me in history. The most likely people for this matter are those businessmen, because I allowed you to receive business taxes.

Secondly, it may be the spies who established the slaves. They found out that I am very important to you, important enough to get you food, and this is what they least want to happen."

"Chongzhen: I understand. No matter who it is, there must be someone from Dongchang or Jinyiwei helping. If Gao Yushun can't be found for me, I'll have a look at the listening room."

Chongzhen knew as soon as he thought about it that someone from Dongchang must be helping in this matter, because only people from Dongchang would know about Chen Ye's activities in that territory.

Fortunately, most of the eunuchs in Dongchang wear bracelets, and they are the latest waterproof version, so they can check even if they want.

Due to the limited manpower in the monitoring room, it is impossible to seamlessly supervise thousands of points of concern, so we usually do not focus on the large and small eunuchs in the East Factory.

Chen Ye, on the other hand, was wearing the costume of picking up weeds and butterflies, eating fruit and recalling today's turmoil.

"This is the first time in my life. I didn't expect assassinations in ancient times to be so exciting. Moreover, wearing a sack and beating a sap can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty."

"Husband, you are still joking. You are scaring me to death. If there is something wrong with my husband, how will I and my sister survive?"

"Yes, husband, I listened to the discussion by the onlookers outside today. I quickly called my sister to come over. I also said that husband, you have been kicked so many times, but husband, you are really powerful. Even after being kicked, you can still be like that, so

.”

Cai Die's face slowly turned red as she spoke.

Chen Ye could only continue to comfort him. Women are naturally sensitive. Moreover, an assassination would make anyone break into a cold sweat. If he was not comforted properly, it would be bad to develop depression.

While Chen Ye was busy trying to comfort him, the leaders of today's incident were gathering at Liangji Trading Company in the outer city.

"Brother Liang, is there any problem with the person you arranged?"

"Brother Hu, don't worry. The person who picked them up left the city the day before yesterday. The person who arranged the assassination also fell into a well yesterday. Now only one Dongchang fanzi is still alive, but he only has contact with the person who arranged the assassination."

Liang Wude was the intelligence line arranged by Jiannu in the capital. He usually managed the bank. After getting the information about Chen Ye through Dongchang, people from outside the customs were sent over to plot this incident.

"What? Is there another Dongchang fan who knows?"

When Hu Junshuolie heard what Liang Wude said, he exclaimed, if this was found out, he would be able to catch up with them.

"Brother Hu, don't panic. This Dongchang fanzi doesn't know about us. We usually interact with him at different places in the inner city. The person who arranged the assassination was also someone I contacted many years ago. He is very clean."

"Brother Liang is clean and worthy of the name given to you by the emperor!"

"Brother Hu, thank you, thank you, hahaha! I'll give Brother Hu a taste of something good."

Liang Wude said with a smile and came in with a load of things.

"It's a pity that we didn't kill that bastard who appeared out of nowhere. In this way, the Ming court will still get food, and the war will be unfavorable for the court."

"Brother Hu, don't worry about these things. This time, the eunuch is destined to be lucky. Next time, the plan is to lead the dragon veins that have been obtained. The weak will perish. The advantage is mine."

"Yes, the advantage is mine!"

After the two people's blood boiled for a while, Hu Junshuo Lie looked at the thing in Liang Wude's hand with a curious look on his face.

"Oh, Brother Liang, where did you get this weird thing? This bag, isn't it that Coke? You actually got it? Didn't that store say it won't be on sale until next month?"

It was one thing to take action against Chen Ye, but they did not fail to get information. They had visited the store several times in the past two days and were already familiar with the products sold there.

Moreover, they directly used the funds to exchange for military coupons. From the beginning, they planned to make money and do business if the assassination failed.

"This is because I redeemed more than one hundred taels of military coupons at that store. The gifts they gave me would cost one tael of silver per jar if sold individually."

"Speaking of which, I also tasted it when I was there that day. It was cool and refreshing, and it soothed my throat and stimulated body fluids."

The two of them opened it and took a sip, frowning slightly.

"Isn't this store too unkind? They gave us fake ones to drink, right? The taste today is one level worse than what we drank at the store that day."

"Wow, I didn't expect this Mingren to be so treacherous. The things he sent were somewhat weakened. Although the taste is still the same sweet and pungent, there is indeed something missing."

"Ah! I remembered that there was a lack of ice. No wonder, it was cool and refreshing that day. Just wait, I will go to the latrine to pick up some saltpeter for the hungry."

When Liang Wude came to his senses, he thought that the name of the ginseng was unscrupulous and fake. When he thought about it, it turned out that it was missing the refreshing taste of ice.

"Are you crazy? It took a lot of effort to get those saltpeters in. It delayed the emperor's important affairs. Be careful with your head."

"Oh, I'm drunk today. I'm just talking about drinking a little. It won't bother me. It won't bother me."

Liang Wude waved his hand and persuaded Hu Junshuo Lie. He got up and quickly went to the bottom of the latrine pit where the saltpeter was stored. He dug out the saltpeter, crushed it into powder, put it into a jar filled with water, and poured Coke into a bowl.

"Ah! Refreshing, refreshing!"

"With this happy water, it's hard for gods to replace it!"

Two men from the Ming Dynasty who had never eaten carbon dioxide sugar water, holding bowls smelling of dung, sang to each other about wine, what is life like.

The next day, Huichang Street and Dongchang Street became lively again. Neither Chen Ye nor Chongzhen took it seriously, but there was another Jinyiwei from a hundred households around the house, and the properties around the house were also bought by Chongzhen.

Banduma and Abel from Silk Stockings Gaiden submitted their invitations early in the morning, so Chen Ye didn't even have time to do morning exercises, so he packed up his clothes and went to the main hall to receive them.

"Oh, Director Chen, thank God that you were able to survive the assassination unscathed. The way you pinched off the assassin's leg yesterday really opened my eyes. Is this kung fu?"

"Yes, Director Chen, you have to thank God. This is God guiding you from harm. The lost lamb will always receive guidance from the shepherd. Thank you, my Lord."

The two missionaries habitually gave all the credit for their achievements to God.

"Two gentlemen, this is the Ming Dynasty, and the gods of the West don't care about the people of the East."

"Oh, okay, let's not talk about the issue of faith. I have taken the liberty to disturb Director Chen. Today I want to talk to you about the supplies of your company."

Abel poked Banduma, and Banduma stepped forward and said to Chen Ye.

"Have you noticed it? But you haven't sold the goods I sold you last time, right?"

"My God, this is what we came for. Director Chen, in your Ming's words, you are so unreasonable this time.

We have all seen it in the store. You sell a pair of jeans for 200 yuan and a piece of clothing for 400 yuan. And what you sell to us is indeed one ounce of gold!!! That can be exchanged for 8 taels of silver, which is 1,600 yuan.

A piece of gold coin!”

"Yes, Chen, you are so unreasonable. Banduma and I are far away in Ming Dynasty. We don't have many friends with whom we can talk. I finally got a friend, but I was bullied by him. Oh, he sold ten times the price

Give us the goods at the price.”

Looking at the two exaggerated Dutch people, Chen Ye interrupted them with a smile.

"But gentlemen, you are not from the Ming Dynasty. You are selling overseas. Isn't it normal that the price is higher than at home?"

Are you kidding me? If foreigners buy it cheaper than locals, is it still called domestically produced?

"But Director Chen, your behavior is not conducive to large-volume shipments in the future. There are large markets in Europe and America, but the Zheng family is completely speechless over there. Even in Luzon and India, the Zheng family can only get through.

It’s up to us to make the decision.”

"That's what I thought about, that's why I told the Zheng family that I would only give them half of the overseas trip share. Considering our friendship, I can raise the price to you at the same price as the Zheng family's overseas trip."

"Have you already contacted the Zheng family??"

When the two of them heard Chen Ye's words, their faces turned ugly. If the Zheng family really got the shipment share, it would be difficult for them to make money.

The two calmed down and accepted the reality. Chen Ye also set the price to half of the original price. If it was exchanged for grain, it would be the same price as the Zheng family.

Will the Dutch choose to use grain? Yes, but certainly not many.
