Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Butler Zheng just smiled and said nothing. Seeing him like this, Mr. Zhou roughly understood what was going on.

So he didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, since my brother has something to do, I won't keep you here. If there is any news over there, please let me know."

"of course."

When the two men finished their conversation and came out of the study, the two governors were still waiting in the yard.

When the two men saw them come out, they walked over to them in a very flattering manner.

When Mr. Zhou and Butler Zheng saw the two men like this, a look of contempt flashed across their faces.

Mr. Zhou: “Is it useful?”

Butler Zheng smiled faintly and said, "That's it. If that Li guy hadn't died so early, I would still prefer him when he was in office. He didn't get involved in things, didn't cause trouble, and was easier to control. What about you?"

"Almost. This guy is too stupid. He caused a lot of trouble here. But fortunately, it didn't come to light. I don't know if there are no more useful people in the court and they sent someone like this here."

Butler Zheng patted his shoulder and said, "Just make do with it. With them covering the way, there are some things that don't require us to intervene."

Mr. Zhou nodded helplessly, "This is the only way. I really hope that the master and his team can implement their plan faster."

Butler Zheng smiled and said, "We should not interfere in the master's affairs, so as not to upset him. By the way, is Zhoucheng in your hands now?"

"About the same. How about you? Have you had a lot of foreign businessmen come to your place in recent years?"

Butler Zheng: "Indeed, there are many things involved, including clothes, furniture, cloth, and most importantly, fine salt and sugar..."

"So you didn't take the opportunity to do something?"

Butler Zheng smiled and said nothing, but Mr. Zhou understood. How could this old fox not get involved?

The two of them were happy, but Leng Youran, who was hiding in the space and watching all this, was unhappy.

"After all this time, all the things we delivered to two cities fell into the hands of these two people?"

Li Tianze saw that her face was puffy and was afraid that she would get angry, so he quickly stroked her back.

"Don't worry, even if it falls into their hands, we won't lose much money."

"That's what I said, but I just don't want our things to fall into their hands. Aren't they just middlemen making a profit?"

It was the first time that Li Tianze heard the term "making a profit from the price difference" and he was a little confused.

Leng Youran knew that he didn't understand again, so she gave him a brief explanation.

After listening to her explanation, Li Tianze understood, "So what do you think? Do we not want to use these two routes anymore? Or..."

Leng Youran stroked her chin. She had previously thought that there were still some independent businesses left in Zhoucheng and Liancheng.

Now it seems that she still underestimated people like Mr. Zhou.

As they said, they have been here for so long, how could they not have some connections!

"What do you think would happen if we swept all these people away?"

Li Tianze didn't expect her to think this way, and quickly shook his head, "I don't think it's appropriate. Now we all know who they are, and we can still guard against what they want to do. If we eliminate all of them, how can you be sure who the next ones who come are Qin Zhaohai's? Moreover, if you really eliminate them, can you ensure that the things in our hands will not fall into their hands?"

Leng Youran thought about it and realized that the reason she didn't plan to take action against these people before was because they were already in the open and would not pose any threat to them.

Just as Li Tianze said, if they got rid of them, they couldn't guarantee that the things they took out would not fall into the hands of those people.

"Then what should we do? Are we really going to let them suck our blood?" Thinking about it now, she finally understood why Zhou Cheng and Lian Cheng had supplied such a large amount of goods before.

It must be Mr. Zhou and Butler Zheng who are manipulating this behind the scenes.

It's also her fault. Over the years, she only cared about the money she took back and completely ignored the kind of people they were supporting.

Li Tianze really didn't know much about business matters. In the past, it was managed by his subordinates, and the mansion was managed by Song Nanshu, so he couldn't make any constructive suggestions.

I can only accompany her silently and let her think alone.

Fortunately, Leng Youran didn't expect him to be of any help, so after returning to the villa, she hid in her room and started busying herself.

She came out of the room smilingly only when Li Tianze called her after cooking.

Li Tianze saw that her gloom had disappeared and he also became happy. "You figured out a solution so quickly?"

Leng Youran shook his head, "Hey, I won't tell you."

We still don't know if this will succeed. If it can't succeed, there's no point in saying it out loud, so it's better to keep it a secret for now.

But she did think of something. "Oh, right? Just now, that housekeeper Zheng seemed to say that he had something to go back and deal with, right? What do you think happened to Liancheng?"

Li Tianze shrugged. "I really don't know. I haven't paid much attention to the situation in the two cities over the years. Who knows what he has done."

"Since we don't know, and it's nothing important, why don't we go to Liancheng and ask someone."

"Okay." Li Tianze responded while feeding Leng Youran.

He completely ignored the words "looking for someone" and didn't know who she was looking for.

"But I have to meet someone before I go."

Li Tianze was a little confused, "Who are you meeting?" As far as he knew, there didn't seem to be anyone they were familiar with in Zhoucheng!

"Hey, you'll know in a moment."

Li Tianze was stunned when he stood in the backyard of Yihong Building.

"Youyou, are you sure you want to come here to look for someone?"

"Yeah, looking for someone. Don't worry, he'll be here soon. You know this person."

Li Tianze thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who he knew in the brothel.

But soon he didn't have to think about it anymore.

He was stunned when he saw the woman walking towards them not far away, fanning herself and twisting her waist.

"Hey, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Li Xiaoxiao's charming voice sounded in front of him.

While saying this, Li Xiaoxiao did not forget to wave the fan in front of him.

"Ahem, you, why are you here?" She was not surprised at all that she recognized him. After all, they used their real faces when they sent them away.

Li Xiaoxiao shrugged, but looked at Leng Youran, which clearly meant that you should ask her.

Li Tianze glanced at Leng Youran, "Youyou, weren't they sent away? How could this happen?"

Leng Youran cleared his throat. "Ahem, I was going to send them away, but Meimei and Yaoyao didn't want to. Xiaoxiao had no choice but to stay."

"You mean all three of them are here now."

"Yes, they are all here. Now this Yihong Courtyard belongs to them."

Li Xiaoxiao was displeased when she heard this and leaned closer to Leng Youran. The fragrance on her body directly hit Leng Youran's brain nerves. Leng Youran suppressed the discomfort and gently pushed her shoulder, "Alright, talk properly."
