Chao Sheng accepted the order and left.

Last night’s scheme was the beginning of his declaration of war against the second household.

After enduring for ten years, it was time to retaliate.

As the wind blew, the loquats swayed. Shen Juncheng looked at the plump loquats and said,

“Come out, Your Highness.”

As soon as he spoke, the Young Master dressed in blue walked in from the door. He waved his folding fan and said with a smile,

“Brother Shen, you don’t have enough compassion for women.”

That dainty wife of his could rest assured that he would get rid of her if she didn’t listen to him. No matter what, he would at least get rid of her after they had sex. Otherwise, it would be a waste.

He kept his folding fan and said shamelessly,

“Except for the previous time when you rounded up the house, otherwise, you’ll lose out.”

“It’s already a second marriage.”

Shen Juncheng glanced at him and ignored his teasing tone.

His Highness touched his nose and deliberately asked,

“Could it be that brother Shen is really sick?”

Shen Juncheng shot him a sharp look, and the man laughed loudly. It turned out that brother Shen found it offensive.

He sat down and skillfully poured himself a cup of tea, gossiping,

“Then Liu-Shi left?”

“Yes.”

“Tsk, I heard that last night on the wedding night, your good aunt gave a strong aphrodisiac to liven up the mood for your nephew. Unfortunately, the groom did not get it, but the bride drank it by mistake and got poisoned. Now, the tea houses outside are all talking about it with great interest.”

There were different opinions, and some people had added fuel to the fire. Liu Shi’s reputation had spread far and wide.

Did Liu Shi think that after beating up those people last night, the news wouldn’t spread?

When she arrived in the capital and heard the news, it would definitely be a surprise.

His Highness had a playful look on his face. He didn’t ask about the previous night’s events, but only said,

“You’re too impatient, aunt.”

“She should be anxious,” Shen Juncheng replied indifferently.

There was still one more year before he would reach the crown. At that time, he would definitely return to Marquis Fu and obtain the position of Crown Prince. She didn’t want to give this position to him, so she was in a hurry.

His Highness shrugged his shoulders. Brother Shen was planning to make a move.

Shen Juncheng ignored his expression and asked,

“Your Highness, why have you come?”

The one who was addressed as “Your Highness” was the seventh prince of King Xian, Prince Song Xingyuan. This year, he had already been conferred the title of King and moved out of the palace.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“This time, I have a favor to ask of brother Shen.”

He stated his request.

Shen Juncheng raised his eyebrows.

“You’re a Prince, but you’re smuggling salt? Just how much money do you need?”

Song Xingyuan sat casually, his expression still as lazy as ever.

“I can’t help it. I’m very poor.”

Shen Juncheng smiled faintly.

“The king of leisure is poor?”

Of course, he didn’t believe it. There was probably no Prince who was as rich as him, but he also couldn’t pretend like he was poor and complain about it every day.

They had so much money, but they only used it to recruit soldiers and buy horses.

Seeing that he was silent, Song Xingyuan couldn’t help but knock on the table.

“Hey, ask your Boyan to open the back door. The tax will still be the same.”

Boyan was one of Shen Juncheng’s most trusted aides and the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Yudu. However, the real master behind the Chamber of Commerce was Leng Moyan.

It was also Shen Juncheng. The name Leng Moyan was just another identity he used that made it easier for him to walk around.

Not many people knew that he was also Leng Moyan. The prince in front of him was unusual. He had been able to recognize him. He had no idea how he did it.

The Chamber of Commerce in Yu city had been developing rapidly in the space of two years. There was no doubt that Shen Juncheng had a good business mind. Now, Yu city was already comparable to Min Zhong and had a very profitable business. Water transportation.

Therefore, when King Xian wanted to smuggle salt, he set his eyes on the water transportation in Yu city.

Shen Juncheng paused and raised his eyebrows.

” 50 – 50.”

Song Xingyuan stomped his feet.

“Shen Juncheng, you’ve gone too far. You’re just helping me transport it.”

Shen Juncheng smiled and said,

“That’s illegal. The reputation that our Chamber of Commerce has worked so hard to build will collapse if we’re caught. Besides, it’s such a high-risk thing. I’m afraid no one except Yu city will accept it. So, it’s only a 50 – 50 split. Don’t get too excited.”

“You haven’t done more illegal things than this king over the years, and I haven’t seen your reputation collapse. You just want to loot a burning house. Don’t you know that this king is a Wangye? This could get me killed.”

Shen Juncheng’s expression was indifferent as he explained the risks in detail. The Imperial court had indeed been very strict recently. The Emperor intended to monitor the illegal salt and was wantonly reorganizing it. Now, all the people who relied on this to make a fortune had stopped at the moment. Only Song Xingyuan still dared to commit crimes against all odds. If he didn’t collect more benefits, he would suffer a considerable loss.

Song Xingyuan narrowed his eyes.

“Oh right, I’ve made some progress with locating uncle Cui as you asked.”

Shen Juncheng frowned.

“Really?”

“En, why would this king lie to you? He’s right here …”

Song Xingyuan held back his words and didn’t say anything for a long time.

“Four-six,” Shen Juncheng replied.

Song Xingyuan raised his eyebrows. As expected, this information was valuable.

10% more was 10% more. He didn’t keep her in suspense and said,

“In the early years, he seemed to have been hunted down and then fled to Mount Han to take refuge, and then there was no news. This king has already sent people to investigate, but Mount Han is a thousand li away. The return trip will probably take several months. Just wait patiently.If there’s any news, I’ll immediately inform you. Don’t worry.”

Although Shen Juncheng had his own channels, if he wanted to investigate the subsequent arrangements and changes of his father’s loyal generals on the battlefield, it would be faster for Song Xingyuan to do it.

Sure enough, he had not been able to find anything for two years, but he had found something in just three months.

If he could find that person, his father’s case would be redressed, and he would be able to take a crucial step forward!

“Thank you,” he said sincerely.

Song Xingyuan immediately took the opportunity to bargain.

“You have to be sincere when you thank me, for example, your Commission …”

In response, Shen Juncheng’s signature smile was gentle.

“Then, Yu city may not have the honor of helping Your Highness move this batch of goods.”

Song Xingyuan shut his mouth.

“You’re good.”

Shen Juncheng raised his eyebrows and called Chao Sheng over. He asked her to let Boyan know when the goods would be delivered and to discuss it with him later.

When Song Xingyuan saw Chao, he instantly opened his small folding fan again and threw a flirtatious look at her. The word “Xi Xi” stimulated Chao so much that she wanted to draw her sword.

The stern look made Song Xingyuan squint his eyes. He waved his folding fan and said in a flirtatious manner,

“Tsk, so cold. This Prince likes it.”

Shen Juncheng raised his eyebrows.

“I’m sure you’ll like her sunrise sword technique as well.”

Song Xingyuan’s smile froze.

Chao Sheng simply ignored him, saluted her master, and then jumped out of the courtyard gate, her figure swift and unrestrained.

Song Xingyuan sighed and waved his folding fan. Next time, he would also train some female guards.

Shen Juncheng chased the guests away after he had finished his business.

Song Xingyuan tutted and asked seriously,

“I still have serious business to discuss.”

“Min Zhong Chamber of Commerce has decided to make the first move. After all, Yu city only emerged two years ago and its Foundation is not as deep as Min Zhong’s. Moreover, Zhou Qing is not stupid. I’ve received news that he plans to join forces with another Chamber of Commerce to suppress you. Do you have to hold on?”
