Chapter 74
Roushikou
Fu Jude
It was almost lunch time, but there were no guests in the lobby.
The old shopkeeper Tang Deyuan of Fujude, his eldest son Tang Maochang and a group of clerks gathered in the lobby.
At this time, Tang Deyuan looked at Prince Xi of the Second Guest and said with a gloomy face: "Zi Xi, is this Lu Mengshi trustworthy?"
Wang Zixi nodded: "Old shopkeeper, Meng Shi and I are fellow villagers. I still know his character and are a person who can be entrusted."
However, Tang Deyuan was still in a state of uncertainty: "But Lu Mengshi is just a livable second cabinet. How could he make friends with a big man who can get his second child out of prison?"
The prince was speechless and hesitated for a moment: "Meng Shi is still quite good at building relationships and connecting with each other."
"And don't forget that the livable owner is the chief supervisor of the Baoha Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who serves the emperor in the palace."
"I think he might have met some big names through this relationship."
At this time, General Zhang Xun had not yet entered the city to restore the throne, and the former Qing emperor still lived in his palace and enjoyed wealth, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was dedicated to serving the emperor, was not revoked.
The suitable home, Rui family, works in the Interior Ministry, and relies on passing through some cultural relics and treasures from the palace to eat kickbacks, and live a very comfortable life.
Hearing this, Tang Deyuan was still a little doubtful: "Then do you think Lu Mengshi is under the pretext of saving the second young master, but actually want to cheat us Fujude?"
Prince Xi thought for a while: "Of course, no, Meng Shi is not like that."
At this time, the eldest young master Tang Maochang, who was shaking his head and silently singing opera lyrics in his mouth, said: "Dad, if you want me to say that you will find Lu Mengshi too. If you want me to follow my words, please let me do it. I will go find Boss Yang and Boss Yu and the others in the theater."
"These are famous actors who are popular in the capital. They must know many officials who go to the big families to sing all day long."
"At that time, just me..."
Tang Maochang became more and more excited as he spoke, but Tang Deyuan poured a basin of cold water: "Shut up!"
"So what if you are popular in the capital? Aren't you still a bunch of actors?"
"Will those officials sell their face?"
"Can you think more about the serious business things in your mind and tinker with those low-ranking things every day?"
Tang Maochang was very afraid of his father. After being scolded like this, he hurried aside and stayed honestly.
At this time, Tang Deyuan seemed to have made up his mind: "Zixi, go and ask Lu Mengshi how much it costs to save the second child."
Prince Xi quickly said, "Old shopkeeper, I really asked about this."
"The other party wants this number!"
As he said that, Wang Zixi stretched out his thumb and index finger and compared eight.
"Eight hundred oceans?"
"Eight thousand!"
"What?"
"Why do you want so much?"
Tang Deyuan's face changed!
Prince Xi quickly explained: "I also asked Meng Shi, and he heard that the second young master was recognized as a member of the Sihai Gang by the police station because he was too close to the people of the Sihai Gang."
"Now, the police station has changed the director and deputy director. Destroying the Sihai Gang is the first achievement of these two directors when they took office, so these two directors are very close to the matters of the Sihai Gang."
"And I heard from Meng Shi that Deputy Director Lin in the police station once said in private that for the people of the Sihai Gang, those who can be killed or not must be killed must be killed! Those who can be closed or not must be closed must be closed, and everything will be handled strictly."
"So, if you want to rescue the second young master, you must invest a lot of money!"
After hearing this, Tang Deyuan was like a deflated ball. After a long time, he lamented: "How could I raise such two useless wastes!"
Since the second young master Tang Maosheng was arrested and imprisoned, Tang Deyuan has regained the power of Fujude. This investigation doesn't matter. In the past two years of recuperation, Fujude has almost caused trouble for the eldest and second young masters.
The money was not enough to make ends meet on the books and owed a lot of external accounts. The guys hadn't paid any salary for two months, and the entire store could use no more than 300 oceans of working capital.
To put it bluntly, Fujude is now just a donkey dung egg. It is bright outside and has long rotten and smelly inside.
Eight thousand oceans, if it were the best time for Fujude to trade, it would not be difficult to take out the money.
But now, Tang Deyuan can't take it out at all!
Tang Deyuan really wanted to give up his uneasy second son and let him die in prison.
But when it comes to this point, Tang Deyuan is not willing to give up.
After a long time, Tang Deyuan sighed heavily, then thrust the table hard: "Sell the store, exchange money!"
"Anyway, I have to rescue my second child from prison!"
"Zixi, go and contact the buyer!"
"The base price is 8,000, not even a point less!"
After saying that, Tang Deyuan's face was ashes, and then he stood up hard and walked slowly towards the back of the shop.
The eldest son Tang Maochang quickly stood up and wanted to support his father, but his father beat him aside with a wave of his hand.
Prince Xi couldn't help but sigh and walked out of the store with a depressed expression. He was going to find a suitable buyer.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fujude is now a vacant air, so who is willing to spend 8,000 yuan to buy it?
Thinking of this, Prince Xi couldn't help but feel worried.
At this time, Wang Zixi saw the signboard that was suitable for living, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Meng Shi knows many people, he will definitely be able to find a buyer for me!"
"Yes, I'll go and discuss this with him, he must have an idea!"
When Lu Mengshi heard Prince Xi tell him in person that Tang Deyuan was going to sell Fujude, he was almost happy excitedly, but he still restrained himself to avoid revealing the situation.
Not only that, he also looked like a pity: "Oh, this Fujude is also an old store passed down from three generations. Unexpectedly, he even embarked on the road of selling stores."
"Oh, it's really unpredictable!"
Prince Xi looked even more worried: "Meng Shi, if Fujude is really bought by others, if they want to use Fujude's store to do other business, we all have to leave and drink the northwest wind."
"Meng Shi, can you find a suitable buyer? It is best to take over Fujude and work as a restaurant, so that we can still have some food to eat."
Lu Mengshi pretended to be embarrassed: "Oh, this is not easy to deal with, I'll ask you."
"And, are there a little more of these eight thousand oceans?"
Prince Xi also scratched his head and begged: "It's a little more, but the old shopkeeper has spoken, so he can't lose a single point. Just do more and help me!"
Lu Mengshi was secretly happy, but his face showed a look of hardening his teeth: "Okay, since you trust me so much, leave this matter to me, I will definitely find a suitable buyer for you!"
"That would be great!"
