Li Xiao shook his head.
If that person was specially found by Chang Sun Chong to slander him, then even sending someone there would be useless.
Chang Sun Chong is not stupid, he can also send someone to really poison that person.
This is somewhat similar to his method of slandering Li Xiaogong before.
"It's useless, it's useless, then it will be useful if you wait? Who are you waiting for?"
Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes and said angrily.
At this moment, there were crowds of people in the distance, a group of guards separated the people and cleared a way, and a person came striding forward, it was Fang Xuanling.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Here we come!"
"Which one is this?"
Cheng Chumo looked at Fang Xuanling, and then asked Li Xiao in surprise, "The person you're waiting for is such a bad old man?"
"See the prime minister for the humble position!"
On the other hand, Chang Sun Chong's expression changed, and he hurriedly saluted.
Lu Li and Li Junxian also clasped their fists in salute.
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo's whole body was stiff, he only felt cold all over, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.
"Meet the Prime Minister!"
He quickly knelt down, but secretly prayed in his heart that Fang Xuanling didn't hear what he just said.
"Hehe." Fang Xuanling came over and said with a smile, "I am indeed a bad old man who is about to die, get up!"
"Fang Lao, don't come here without any problems." Li Xiao smiled slightly.
"It seems that His Royal Highness Yue Wang has already guessed that the old man is coming." Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled thoughtfully.
"I guessed that someone would come, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. Fang." Li Xiao said truthfully.
"Okay, stop gossip."
Fang Xuanling looked at Changsun Chong, and then shouted to the people: "The matter has been found out, and the poisoning was caused by someone."
"Bring it up!"
Immediately the guards brought up a heavily tied man.
It was that Qian Yuanwai.
"This person was instigated by others to slander His Highness the King of Yue. He has committed a heinous crime. He is now in prison and awaits punishment!"
After finishing speaking, Fang Xuanling looked at Chang Sun Chong blankly, and continued, "As for the messenger, Dali Temple will investigate to the end!"
"Well done."
The last sentence was whispered.
But Chang Sun Chong's hair burst all over.
Only he knew that this sentence was a warning to him.
The cold sweat on his back couldn't stop dripping down. Chang Sun Chong's whole body was stiff, he lowered his head and didn't dare to move.
He never expected that the people from Dali Temple did not come, but Fang Xuanling did.
His face was ashen, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart.
He hates!
I hate how unfair the way of heaven is.
If it weren't for Li Xiao's royal blood, how could someone come out to clean up the mess for him after he made such a big mistake?
Why is it okay for Li Xiao to make a mistake, but he, who dared to reveal the truth, should be threatened?
But all of this, he can only hide in his heart.
At this time, after Fang Xuanling finished speaking, the common people suddenly realized.
"It turned out to be instigated by someone, who is so bold and reckless?"
"Isn't it? Even the king of Yue dared to frame him. The identity of the messenger must not be simple."
"Wait, since someone deliberately framed it, doesn't it mean that this wine is really the best in the world as Cheng Guogong said?"
"I don't think it's fake. I can smell the tangy aroma after standing so far. It should be that there is nothing wrong with good wine."
"It's good wine, and Cheng Guogong is willing to spend 100 taels, which is enough to explain everything."
"Unfortunately, this wine is too expensive, and we can only buy a bottle after the autumn when the grain is sold."
The people were talking.
However, at this moment, an incompatible voice sounded: "Hehe, is a mere 200 taels called silver? I really haven't seen it before!"
An old man in expensive clothes walked up to Li Xiao.
"His Royal Highness, the old man is willing to bid 300 taels for a jar, and hopes to buy all the wine here. I wonder what your highness would like?"
Chapter 110: Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, Cui Family Comes
"Who are you?"
Li Xiao looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Old man..."
"Go away! You are not welcome here!"
However, just as the old man opened his mouth, Cheng Chumo interrupted him sharply.
While Li Xiao was wondering, he suddenly saw many familiar faces among the group of people behind the old man.
It was the group of rich children who participated in the auction to buy rosewood before.
Suddenly he realized.
When he came over in the morning, Lu Li reported everything to him.
He originally planned to invite these rich children to come to talk about future cooperation matters, and also planned to show off his capital.
Unexpectedly, these people chose to hang out with Changsun Chong and didn't even come.
Obviously he is the same as Changsun Chong.
But now, he wants to buy his wine again, and even wants to monopolize all the wine.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
This is also the reason for Cheng Chumo's anger.
The old man was chased away by Cheng Chumo, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, he still has some power in the capital.
But because of Li Xiao's identity, it's hard to really fall out.
"Your Highness, it was all a misunderstanding before, but we have never refused His Highness's invitation!"
"It's just that there was an urgent matter at the time. Now that the matter is over, why don't you come here to ask His Highness to plead guilty?" The old man thought for a while and smiled helplessly.
"What a misunderstanding!"
Cheng Chumo snorted, with disdain on his face, and said: "You scumbags, you rejected our invitation on the front foot, and came here with the eldest grandson Chong this little bastard, how dare you say it was a misunderstanding?!"
"You... vulgar!"
The eldest grandson on the side was anxious, but he didn't dare to start another dispute.
"Your Highness."
The old man frowned slightly, glanced at Cheng Chumo, ignored him, but looked at Li Xiao, and said slowly: "Old man Zhang Xian, a villain is not talented, and there is only a third-rate business in his old age, but all the spices in the capital The business is all under the control of my Jucai Trading Company, and it may be able to help His Highness."
People mature.
Zhang Xian knew very well that Li Xiao was the one talking.
As long as Li Xiao is dealt with, there will be no obstacles.
"please!"
Li Xiao had no expression on his face, and directly blasted people.
He really didn't have a good impression of this kind of grass.
"Your Highness, even if there is a grievance between you and me, money is innocent. Why don't you earn money if you have money?"
"If your Highness wants to expand his business, he will definitely need a lot of spices. If you and I cooperate, we will be able to make a lot of money. Why not do it?" Zhang Xian said still unwillingly.
"I think you have misunderstood, I don't need spices in this wine." Li Xiao said expressionlessly.
"Your Highness, there is no need to hide it. Everyone knows that if this wine is not spiced, how could it be so fragrant?"
"Get lost!" Li Xiao frowned.
Zhang Xian still wanted to fight for it, but he saw Lu Li approaching with his guards, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Your Highness, you have to think about it clearly. Without my source of spices, it would be difficult for you to mass-produce this wine."
But Li Xiao was still unmoved.
"Ugh……"
Zhang Xian sighed and finally took the person away.
However, he did not go far, but stopped and watched from a distance.
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, just watch, King Yue's wine will definitely not sell much."
Chandler on the side showed a disdainful expression.
The people next to him also echoed.
"That's right, his wine is so expensive, and the people who buy it are trying to find something new, and they can sell ten altars a day."
"Ten altars, that's 2000 taels..."
In the end, everyone was silent.
They are all businessmen, and they know that what Li Xiao said about the high cost is simply false.
There is a profit of 2000 taels a day, which is just a shop, which has never been seen before.
At this time, Chang Sun Chong also came over at some time.
"Don't worry, I have my own way."
Chang Sun Chong's face was gloomy, and he called his subordinates to order: "Go, inform all the restaurants in the capital that the price of Yunyan and Liquor will be reduced by half for ten days."
"Second!" Zhang Xian's eyes showed a touch of praise, "Yunyan liquor is not expensive, and it will be reduced by half. In this way, it will definitely attract the attention of most drinkers in the capital, but any normal person will only Choose cheap Yunyan liquor."
"Eldest grandson is still clever!"
"Haha, just wait and see. If no one cares about it later, I want to see how they end up."
The rest of the people also rejoiced.
Originally they rejected Li Xiao and chose Changsun Chong, but after seeing Li Xiao's rise, they felt more or less regretful.
But things have come to this, and he wanted to switch to Li Xiao's family, but was rejected again.
They naturally wanted to see Li Xiao regret rejecting them.
At the same time, Li Xiao's side.
"Your Highness, the matter is over, and the old man will leave first."
Fang Xuanling clasped her fists at Li Xiao, and then led them away.
"Mr. Fang has worked hard!" Li Xiao clasped his fists in return.
Li Xiao watched Fang Xuanling leave, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man walking from the crowd.
With deep eyes and a slightly bloated body, he is wearing a brocade robe of sapphire blue and spotted cloth, with a patterned belt tied around his waist. He looks extraordinary and seems to have some origins.
"Cheng Chumo, I leave this to you."
