Chapter 1001 Sudden chaos
Chapter 1001 Sudden chaos
When Huo Changxu arrived, the eldest lady immediately found a new target for attack.
"Why did you come here? Did you sleep in again? Did you go to bed very late last night? You didn't sleep at night and couldn't wake up in the morning. What do you mean?"
Huo Changxu: "..."
"Mother, I..."
"You still want to talk back, don't you?"
"No, you are right, I will change it later," Huo Changxu quickly expressed his position.
Yan Ruyu took the words: "You came just in time, I have something serious to say to you."
When the eldest lady saw Yan Ruyu speaking, she stopped talking about Huo Changxu, glanced at Huo Changhe and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and ask someone to serve food."
Huo Changhe took a deep breath and went out.
Huo Changxu couldn't help laughing: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
"There is a paper shop. The paper is not bad, but it is too high-end. I told them to contact you later to learn from each other's strengths and cooperate with each other."
Yan Ruyu rarely interfered with his business matters, unless it was to teach him some new skills.
Therefore, as soon as she mentioned it, Huo Changxu realized that there must be something unusual about this shop.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, let them come, I will definitely cooperate with them."
"That's very good," Yan Ruyu thought for a moment, "profit sharing from the business..."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't treat them badly, at least 30%."
Yan Ruyu was actually thinking about February 8th. Although it didn't sound like much, Huo Changxu's business would only grow bigger and bigger. The Four Treasures of the Study and the printing and bookstore would all flourish in the future.
In addition, we will also have contact with the academy. When the time comes, we can discuss an exclusive supply, and the business will increase greatly.
Huo Changxu spoke, and Yan Ruyu didn't refuse. Thinking about it, the Sixth Prince also did a lot for Huo Changhe. They were not in the capital and couldn't help with anything else. The only thing they could help was money.
Three makes three percent.
"Okay, then 30%," Yan Ruyu said thoughtfully, "When dealing with them, you must be polite and kind, but also be a little cautious, and don't talk about the capital and state affairs."
Huo Changxu was startled, his eyes searching, and Yan Ruyu smiled slightly: "I won't hide it from you, they are the Sixth Prince Yongwang's people."
The eldest lady was slightly surprised: "Sixth Prince? How come his people..."
Yan Ruyu briefly talked about the trip to the paper shop, but did not mention Da Ru. Da Ru had a special status and the whole story involved too many details. It also involved Miao territory, so as not to make the eldest lady uneasy.
Even so, the eldest lady and Huo Changxu were extremely emotional.
"It's so... It's true that some people wear human skin and have the heart of an animal, and some people are weak but have a benevolent heart."
Huo Changxu said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't treat them harshly based on this affection alone."
"Business cooperation is enough, and there is no need to put too much pressure. Just do what you want. Let them come to the house to pick up things during the Chinese New Year. Don't treat them differently when they are in the store."
Huo Changxu cupped his hands and said, "Changxu will remember it."
Huo Changhe ordered people to put the food on the table, and the four of them sat down to have breakfast.
Yan Ruyu originally thought about preparing some small gifts for Miss Cao's children after dinner. The children's full-moon banquet cannot be empty-handed, nor can it be prepared too casually.
Before they returned to the yard, Yin Ding and Beibei came in a hurry, both of them looking bad.
Yan Ruyu had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, when the two came closer, Yin Ding whispered: "Prince, Princess, Shen Huaixin is dead."
Yan Ruyu was stunned, hadn't Shen Huaixin been buried earlier? On second thought, the silver ingot refers to the fake one in Shen's house.
Huo Changhe's face darkened: "What's going on?"
"We don't know yet. Feng Shao and Quandao went to investigate. We came to report first. The Shen Mansion has been in chaos. Several lieutenants and soldiers rushed out of the mansion to go to the Governor's Mansion to ask for an explanation."
"The Governor's Mansion?" Huo Changhe was confused, "Why go to the Governor's Mansion to ask for an explanation?"
"They said that the assassin used the knife used by the Kuaishou of the Governor's Yamen."
Yan Ruyu said: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be handled carefully. There are many loyal people under Shen Huaixin. It is best not to cause a mutiny."
Huo Changhe nodded: "Yu'er, please go back to the yard first, and I'll go take a look."
"I'll change my clothes and go with the prince."
Yan Ruyu went back to the courtyard and changed into men's clothes and tied up her hair. Linlang wanted to follow, so they went together.
As soon as we arrived on the street, there was already a commotion, and many people had heard about it. Although the reputation of the city guards was not very good, they were still there, and the people did not have to worry about the safety of the city.
But now that Shen Huaixin is dead, people are inevitably a little panicked.
They did not take a carriage, but walked directly to check the situation.
As I was walking forward, I suddenly heard someone calling from behind me.
It wasn't Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe, but Linlang.
"Sister Linlang!"
Linlang's ears were very good, so she immediately turned around and saw a carriage approaching from behind. Green Lake stuck out his head and waved to Linlang.
Princess Mingzhao often comes to the mansion to practice physical fitness. Although Yan Ruyu gave her a similar set, she said it was boring to practice at home, so she often came to practice with the headmaster and Linlang.
Green Lake didn't know how, so he was responsible for tea and snacks. After getting along for a while, he and Linlang became very good little sisters.
Because Linlang was a few years younger than Lu Hu, Lu Hu called Linlang sister.
She is a very conscientious sister. The boots Linlang wears, the handkerchief and the money bag and sachet are all made by Green Lake.
When Linlang saw it was her, she immediately beamed: "Master, it's Green Lake!"
The carriage stopped, Green Lake jumped out and helped Princess Mingzhao get out of the car.
Princess Mingzhao was not polite: "Prince, Princess, do you want to go to Shen Mansion?"
"Have you heard about it too?" Huo Changhe asked.
Princess Mingzhao nodded: "Many people have heard about my coming here."
"The news spreads so fast," Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, "I'm afraid someone deliberately spread the news."
"When the city protector dies, people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate. No matter whether it is the morale of the military or the people, they must not be tampered with." Huo Changhe's eyebrows were stern, "It seems that someone wants to cause chaos in Youcheng."
"Go and take a look," Yan Ruyu said, "Maybe someone is among the crowd."
Huo Changhe's eyes were full of anger: "No matter who it is, we will kill him if we catch him!"
Several people went to Shen's Mansion together, and the people all talked about this along the way.
When we got to the vicinity of Shen's Mansion, they were already crowded together, and there were city guards in front of them with swords and guns, and no one else was allowed to get close.
Huo Changhe whispered: "The more they act like this, the more riots they will cause. It's just a stupid move!"
Yan Ruyu looked through the crowd and saw that the city guards and soldiers all looked unhappy, frowning and glaring.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Deputy City Li is here!"
Yan Ruyu heard the news and went to see Li Mingcheng coming on horseback, followed by many people.
When they got closer and dismounted, the people from the Shen Mansion did not retreat at all, their swords and spears facing each other with cold light gleaming.
Li Mingcheng stepped forward, fearless of the sword's glare: "Get out of the way!"
The people from the Shen Mansion said: "Deputy Ambassador Li, are you trying to show off your power in front of the Shen Mansion? Our Shen Cheng Envoy has just died, and his spirit has not yet dispersed!"
"Deputy City Ambassador Li is so anxious to take over?"
