Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 254 - 252: Going to Collect Debts
Chapter 254: Chapter 252: Going to Collect Debts
At this moment, the majestic dragon’s whiskers of the little Emperor had somehow twisted into the shape of a heart.
How could she not be furious about it?
It was agreed to be just like Ying Yi, but now it was completely different; wasn’t this deceiving the Emperor?
However, facing her anger and the little Emperor’s roar, Lin Yi just chuckled:
"Hehe, actually, I think this makes it a bit cuter and better matches your temperament."
While speaking, he couldn’t help but reach out and stroke the soft dragon’s whiskers.
What happened next was evident without saying; in short, a dragon and a tiger fiercely fought it out.
Since ancient times, dragons and tigers have fought battles to the death, and indeed, this fight was particularly intense.
It can be described as an utterly chaotic scene, and all through the night, the Imperial Study Room was never quiet, the sounds of their scuffle reverberating endlessly.
Fortunately, when Ying Yi arrived, he had someone thoroughly seal off the area and also commanded everyone to withdraw to a distance of 500 meters.
Because of this, although the ruckus here was loud, it wasn’t heard by anyone.
In short, the next morning, Lin Yi walked out of the Imperial Study Room looking triumphant.
In contrast, the little Emperor canceled the morning court and was soundly sleeping at that time.
Even a formidable character like Ying Yi had returned to her dedicated spot on the beam and started resting.
Just talking about this moment, Lin Yi, in high spirits, walked out of the Imperial Study Room and without stopping, headed straight to his Glazed Shop in the Capital City.
At that time, the Glazed Shop was bustling with people.
Different from the first day, the people coming in and out now were merchants from all across the country here to trade glazed tiles.
They were here to buy enough glazed tiles to then transport and sell them all over the country.
Contrarily, the number of individual buyers had significantly decreased, though that didn’t rule out many people arriving early in the morning to queue up, hoping to buy a Glazed Mirror.
After all, those items were quite rare, whether for these merchants or even nobles, as the shop sold only five Glazed Mirrors a day.
This led many to almost spend the night in line here.
After taking a stroll around and briefly checking the financial reports of the past few days, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction:
"How is the preparation for the shop next door?"
Hearing this, the manager of this shop, who was also the shopkeeper, immediately bowed and answered Lin Yi:
"Reporting to Sir, the shop next door is already prepared, just waiting for the goods to arrive so they can commence selling. freewebnøvel.com
Also, the shop you asked to be set up in the West Market is also ready,
according to your specifications, a spacious courtyard."
After all, the West Market is visited by ordinary people; thus, the shop there is much cheaper compared to the East Market.
Not only that, the prices are much lower, and the price of one shop here can get you a long row of shops there.
An important point is that the shops there are not controlled by the elite as here.
There, more real merchants reside.
Because of this, it was particularly smooth for Lin Yi to make purchases.
"Understood. Let the people there prepare; the goods will start arriving in a couple of days."
Saying this, Lin Yi seemed to remember something and thus spoke to the manager:
"Go to the Capital Mayor’s Government Office and have them approve a piece of land for us."
Upon hearing this, the person in charge immediately bowed to Lin Yi, carefully asking,
"Alright sir, I will go to the Capital Mayor’s Government Office shortly.
But may I ask sir, what do you need the land for?
Are you thinking of building a mansion?
Also, sir, have you identified a specific location? If so, I can go directly there to look for it."
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but tap his fingers lightly on the desk in front of him.
His mind was also constantly thinking, and after a moment he finally spoke,
"I’m not exactly looking to build a mansion, but it’s not far from that idea.
Well, as for the location, somewhere close to the Imperial Palace, ideally right at the palace gate.
Never mind, just directly on the Zhuque Street."
However, Lin Yi’s casual words caused the manager to involuntarily inhale a breath of cold air when he heard them.
Good heavens, on Zhuque Street?
Putting aside whether there are any vacancies on Zhuque Street, just consider the mansions there, none of them are simple.
Let’s just say, even the Ministers of Six Ministries don’t have their mansions on Zhuque Street.
It’s not that they don’t want to, but that they aren’t qualified.
Zhuque Street, although spacious, also cannot accommodate too many mansions, because each mansion occupies a very large area.
For this reason, Zhuque Street residences are those of the imperial kinsmen and princes.
So when Lin Yi spoke these words, the person in charge immediately showed a bitter expression.
"Just go and find a place confidently, and directly tell the Capital Mayor it’s my order.
If he refuses, then come back and report to me."
Since the Lord had spoken thus, the person in charge did not dare to object, immediately bowed, and then withdrew.
However, Lin Yi had no idea that this statement of his would bring him not a small amount of trouble.
As things here seemed almost taken care of, Lin Yi did not stay much longer but directly organized his men to head towards the Imperial Camp outside the Capital City.
As for why head in that direction, it was because earlier the Sixth Prince had promised to assign a batch of weapons and equipment to the Nanshan thousand-household office.
But now, with so much time having passed, there was still no movement from the other party.
If they weren’t going to deliver, then he would go and fetch them himself.
This was also something he had promised in front of the Civil and Military Officials at the court.
For this reason, Lin Yi felt fully justified in his actions.
As for whether there would be danger during this trip, Lin Yi trusted that the other party wouldn’t be foolish to that extent.
After all, he was entering the Imperial Camp openly and boldly; if anything untoward happened to him indeed, the Sixth Prince would definitely not have a good ending.
