"Uh—" Lu Bai looked at her in surprise.

What is this, he tied up a fake shopkeeper Shen, shopkeeper Shen is missing now, he has to investigate the case again——

It's easy.

Lu Bai felt dizzy after reasoning.

Mrs. Shen clapped her hands, thinking it was a good idea, and just continued the play just now.

"no--"

Lu Bai pointed to Mrs. Shen, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He didn't think about it just now, but now he remembered that Mrs. Shen is the wife of shopkeeper Shen. This husband is gone, so why is she still obeying Lianer's advice? What's going on?

It's a pity that time doesn't allow him to think too much.

Just when he was about to ask, a young man in a white shirt with a fan in his hand led several people in.

His name is Shen Xi, Shen Yan's younger brother, and the second son of the Shen family.

"Second aunt, where is my uncle, please don't tell me that he hasn't come back yet. Someone saw my second uncle on the street yesterday." The series of words blocked Mrs. Shen's further words, "Second Aunt, let me tell you, it's been a month, I can't wait, all households from all walks of life are waiting for dinner, Jianzhai's They are all waiting for filial piety. If your man can't do it, give up the business quickly. Now is the critical period to win Jian Zhai's support, if you delay..."

This Shen Xi was nagging, he didn't see Lu Bai until he came up to him, "You—Master Lu?!"

He looked at Mrs. Shen next to him, asking what Lu Bai was doing here.

Lu Bai didn't reply, he just turned his head and glanced at Lian'er.

Lian'er didn't know when she had turned into a pink maid.

Lu Bai slightly nodded his head, it was obvious that Lian'er was still very vigilant.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…"

Seeing that Mrs. Shen was hesitating all the time, Shen Xi asked impatiently, "What's wrong with my second uncle?"

"He just came back yesterday, and was kidnapped as soon as he went to the street, and he hasn't come back yet." Mrs. Shen said weeping.

"what!"

Shen Xi was startled, and then looked at Mrs. Shen suspiciously, "Isn't this my second uncle's new excuse?"

"Second Young Master, it makes people sad to say this. Our master has traveled all over the world for so many years to do business for the Shen family. When was it delayed? It was more than a month late these days, but it was a last resort. Last month, aunt Both Su and Lin'an are turning rice into mulberry, and you have handed over this business to another family, and if our master doesn't go back, what will happen if we run out of silk and raw silk?"

Mrs. Shen babbled in a crying voice.

Lu Bai had a look of surprise and admiration. He had to say that Mrs. Shen's acting skills were good. If she was in her previous life, she would definitely win an award.

"I finally came back and was kidnapped again. What can we do? Isn't it just that Mr. Lu is here, and we are asking him to help us find it." Mrs. Shen said.

Lu Bai coughed dryly, "Indeed."

Mr. Shen Xi looked at Lu Bai, "Master Lu, you are not from Nanzhen Fusi, why are you still involved in the disappearance case?"

Mr. Shen Xi didn't believe it all, but found some doubts about it.

"Oh, I came here to investigate the case of Jin Yiwei's disappearance. I wanted to ask shopkeeper Shen, but I didn't expect him to be away." Lu Bai thought that Gao Ming's lies were half-truths and half-false.

Mr. Shen Xi asked Lu Bai, "Is my second uncle really kidnapped?"

"It's not true!" Lian'er interjected, "Many people on the street saw it, so the two of them turned out from the corner, tied up our master without saying a word, and then disappeared on the street in the blink of an eye. .”

Mr. Shen Xi believed it eighty-nine percent after hearing this.

Lu Bai had a headache.

Damn, these two idiots kidnapped people in the street, but I don't know if they showed their true colors. If they did, they would probably be able to find the wine shop very quickly.

After all, no matter how secretive these two monsters are, some people have seen them go in and out of the wine house, and the servants at home know them both.

"Then, why don't you hurry up and find my second uncle." Shen Xi urged.

He ordered a few people to go out to look for it quickly, and said to Mrs. Shen: "Second Aunt, I have sent someone to look for it now, but we have to look for it after all, and we have to prepare the money. This can't be delayed. You have to wait again." If you drag it on, my father will come."

Mrs. Shen wiped the tears from her face with a strong face, "Well, don't worry, it was your second uncle who came back yesterday and gave orders. Today, your second uncle lost it, and I panicked for a while, otherwise I would Already ready."

She paused and told Shen Xi to come back tomorrow.

"That's a good deal, don't change it." Shen Xi waved his hand after Mrs. Shen nodded, "Okay, you keep looking for someone, I have a party, so I won't stay here."

He went like the wind again.

Shen Xi didn't have much respect for Lu Bai, and he just nodded when he left.

Lu Bai didn't care either.

He is now influential in the minds of the heads of the Eight Great Schools, Neishutang, Factory Guard, or several big families, but has little influence on these dudes.

The life of these dandies is only eating, drinking and playing.

It is estimated that Lu Bai's "The Peony Pavilion" is more influential among them.

After Shen Xi left, Mrs. Shen returned to normal. She looked at Lian Er and waited for her to make up her mind, "What should I do now?"

What I want to say is self-evident, it's nothing more than running away, or giving money, the delay can't go on.

"Give it." Lu Bai made up his mind for Lian'er.

There's no point in going into hiding because of this, and besides, Lu Bai doesn't really have any plans to rebel.

"Here." Lian'er was a little reluctant, "This is all money, money I earned."

"Come on, if there is no Shen family, it would be nice if you can earn a copper coin." Lu Bai said.

Besides, Lian'er will still be in the shopkeeper Meiji Buzhuang's business in the future, if the day comes when she needs money for breakfast, it's not too late to turn her face, "Now is not the time."

"Okay." Lian Er reluctantly agreed.

She decided that in the future, ants will move mountains, introduce more people, and slowly get more money.

"You have hoarded so much food, do you have enough money now?" Lu Bai asked again.

Lian'er didn't know, she looked at Mrs. Shen next to her.

Mrs. Shen pondered for a while, "I'm afraid there are some gaps."

The Shen family will take away the money in Meiji Buzhuang's account every month, and only leave the money for the business of the Buzhuang. Now that Lian'er has embezzled it for other purposes, there is a gap in the money in the account.

Mrs. Shen raised her head and looked at Lian'er, "I'm afraid I can get some food to relieve it."

"Grain!" Lian'er quickly waved her hands, indicating that it was absolutely impossible.

Lu Bai could tell that this guy was still thinking about going ahead before the soldiers and horses were mobilized for food and grass.

"How much money is there?" Lu Bai asked.

Mrs. Shen estimated, "About 2 taels of silver."

"In this way, I'll have someone send over 2 taels of silver at night, as if I bought the [-] shi of grain." Lu Bai didn't wait for Lian'er to express his dissatisfaction, "The grain is mine or yours, the two of us Who's with whom?"

He felt that it was better to pass the current test before saying, "I will have a way for you to make money in the future."

Lu Bai has already made up his mind.

Since Meiji Buzhuang is in the private salt business, why not do it directly with him.

Still start from Yongle City, get the private salt at a lower price, sell it to the capital, and sell it at the same price, Lu Bai and Lian'er will share the spoils together, and their private salt business will open up the market in the capital by then, why is that? Happy not to do it.

Lu Bai now has a lot of salt mines in his hands, and Hong Tailang has more salt mines, which is not worse than Yongle City, or even more.

The only worry now is sales.

It would be great if we could open up the market in the capital now.

As for why the food is still kept, Lu Bai also has his own ideas.

The old saying goes well, don’t panic if you have grain in hand, the south is turning rice into mulberry with great fanfare, and there are more and more beggars in the capital, if something goes wrong, this batch of grain may save lives.

Lu Bai had planned so much in his mind, but Lian'er didn't know anything about it.

She just looked at Lu Bai, "Okay, old Lu, I didn't expect you to be a big corrupt official."

The 2 taels of silver were thrown out lightly, which shows that he still has a lot of silver in his hand.

Lu Bai smiled slightly, "What is 2 taels, your brother has plenty of silver."

He just doesn't have a silver mine, otherwise he would be rich as an enemy.

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, "If Mr. Lu can send over 2 taels of silver, it will really solve our urgent need."

Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, "I haven't asked yet, what's going on with you?"

He once thought that he had an auditory hallucination just now, and that Lian'er had thrown shopkeeper Shen into the water.

"That's all." Lian'er didn't want to say more.

Lu Bai wanted to get to the bottom of it, "Did you use a charm to confuse them all?"

Lian'er was not happy, and she became angry from embarrassment: "Lao Lu, why is your grandma so smart!"

Lu Bai reminded her, "My grandma is also your grandma."

Lian'er was right after thinking about it, "Your uncle, there are some things that you don't want you to know, so don't know."

Lu Bai became more and more curious, "If you don't tell me, I'm really worried, I can only give them all—"

He gestured to wipe his neck.

Lian'er was startled, "Old Lu, you are so fucking bad."

Lu Bai told her not to make a fuss, her brother was known as "Egg Cracker Monk" and "Executioner".

Chapter 395 Head

Lian'er has really heard of the name Lu Bai.

Seeing Lu Bai's stubbornness, she could only stammer and lower her voice, "This, I, I shouldn't have it when I was pretending to be shopkeeper Shen. Is there anything that won't make people suspicious?"

Lu Bai was puzzled, "Then what?"

Lian'er rolled his eyes at him, "Brother, I never thought you would be so innocent."

"What does this have to do with innocence—" Lu Bai said halfway, and suddenly realized, "Oh, it's that one."

Lian'er nodded, "Then I performed supernormally, and we'll just, that's it."

"Which one is it?" Lu Bai thought about this guessing game.

Before Lian'er could speak, Mrs. Shen blushed and went to the side, and the green-clothed maidservant went with her.

"Oh, it's the deep-rooted love, the love is getting deeper and deeper, and it's a private decision for life!" Lian'er simply made it clear.

Lu Bai was dumbfounded.

He looked at Lian'er, and waved his hands after a while, "Okay, if you really want to have that relationship, then keep them, and you can stay here and continue to be shopkeeper Shen, maybe it will be useful in our future revenge Your place."

The key point is that one is in the light and the other is in the dark, and the two have no contact with each other. Generally, it is difficult for anyone to suspect that they are in the same group.

"I'll play the main role, okay?" Lian'er said unconvinced.

She felt that when the army rebelled, she would definitely be of great use.

Lu Bai smiled and didn't speak, but said: "Don't let anyone know about our relationship. If you are like this, after you become shopkeeper Shen, let me catch you, and then because there is no evidence to investigate, in your Shen Under the coercion of my family, I let you go."

Lu Bai turned his head to look at Mrs. Shen, and then asked whether the Shen family would do this for shopkeeper Shen.

Madam Shen nodded.

As long as they send the money up on time, ease the Shen family's need for money, and relieve the anger of the Shen family's Patriarch, the Shen family will definitely help the shopkeeper Shen to solve this problem.

"Don't look at what Shen Xi said just now that this business can be handed over to other branches. In fact, without our branch, the business of Meiji Cloth Village will not be on the right track for at least half a year." Mrs. Shen said .

Now is the time when the Shen family's money is the most important, and the Shen family will definitely not abandon shopkeeper Shen easily.

Hearing this, Lu Bai looked back at Lian'er, "Is she okay?"

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly, "To tell the truth, my lord, I am in charge of a lot of business in Meiji Cloth Village. Shen Animal is mainly engaged in long-distance business, such as transporting silk and silk, dealing in raw silk, and smuggling to the northwest, etc. out business."

Even though Mrs. Shen has never been involved in these businesses, she has heard of them and understands them a little.

Besides, shopkeeper Zishen didn't go out every time, at least half of the time he let his subordinates go, so now many of his subordinates know how to do business.

In this way, with Mrs. Shen taking care of her inside and some skilled hands outside, Lian'er can roughly cover it up.
