Chapter 59: The City

"A hibiscus powder, hidden in the skirt of the dancing girl."

No wonder...... Today, the businessmen who can be invited to the banquet are all wealthy people, and the rich people probably hope that they can live a long life, or even immortality, and enjoy the happiness and prosperity of the world forever. After Master Kukai's words spread this morning, most of these people trembled in their hearts, and then they were full of wariness of Fleur.

If a fissimile is added to a hot pot, some of them will taste it.

can be guarded against, but it is not guarded against the dancing girl.

As if he felt that the words were not shocking enough, he took the pot from the hand of the dark guard, Lu Jingyuan casually pulled the leading dancer, lifted the gauze covering her thick skirt, pulled off his arm through the sleeve and took her around, and sprinkled the whole fine powder into the skirt stacked below.

"Go and jump again."

Surrendering to his substantial killing intent, the dancing girl lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed to the front of Shang Jia with trembling legs, and began to spin in a very non-standard dance.

Lu Jingyuan is not as careful as Shen Moci, the latter sprinkled the hibiscus powder is boiled in a pot and then crushed in the stone, the powder is as delicate as dust in the air. Layers are slowly sprinkled into the gauze skirt, and they slowly evaporate as they dance and spin, and they are almost imperceptible.

And when it was his turn, the same thing was directly spilled on the outermost part. Maihime spun slightly, and the white foam like flour came to her face with a familiar taste.

This is a harmful thing, and the nearest merchant hides his face with his sleeve and hides backwards. But he forgot that there were people behind him, and when he retreated slightly, he encountered obstacles, and his body was unstable and fell to the merchant behind him. In the small hall, the densely seated businessmen fell down like dominoes, and when they struggled on all fours, someone knocked over the hot pot on the table.

"Ahh

The charcoal burned until the hot pot soup base was poured down, and Rao is seven-foot man couldn't stand it, and suddenly someone screamed.

Lu Jingyuan glanced to the side, nodded slightly, and immediately a secret guard stepped forward, straightened the tilted warm pot, and then quickly threw out the merchant who had fallen down and lined up in front of his little marquis.

"Ben Hou is also afraid that you will have doubts, so he will demonstrate on the spot. Rest assured, the doors and windows here are wide open now, and they are very breathable, and even if you smell it, you can't suck it in. ”

The burning sensation of being burned by the soup base of the hot pot came, and the merchants had to believe it. The main effect of Ah Furong is to relieve pain, if you really inhale it just now, will it hurt like this?

I wish I could suck some - thought the most hot people.

Seeing the reactions of several people, Lu Jingyuan secretly felt happy. The people who can come to King Ping's banquet today are all businessmen who are good friends with the Shen family, and the few people sitting in front are even more determined to follow Shen Jinshan's doglegs. After the death of the girl in his previous life, he came to Qingcheng to thoroughly investigate the Shen family and learned about the fall of the entire Hu family.

After Hu Jiuling's death, many businessmen forced them to come to the door, among which the people who jumped up and down and jumped the most were the ones in front of them. They not only sabotaged the affairs of the Hu family, blamed the Hu family for the chaos, demanded the return of all the money they had invested before, and even falsely reported the accounts to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail. That stupid girl has been kept in the back house, how can she know how to be cunning, and if she can't deal with it, she can only hand over all the affairs to Song Qinwen. At that time, Song Qinwen had already been in cahoots with Shen Moci's wolf, so he turned a blind eye and allowed them to fill in the blank deed with astronomical sums, and the white wolf plundered the hundred-year-old foundation of the Hu family.

It's hateful!

He thought that the girl didn't know anything about it, but when he placed the nameplate in Yunlai Tower this afternoon, she woke him up with an obvious biased order. Even if she has never taken over the Hu family's business in the back house, she can also detect the estrangement of some people from some of the contacts during the New Year's holidays.

In his previous life, he was far away in the desert, and he didn't know anything about the situation of the Hu family, and he had no way of knowing the girl's reaction at that time. But he thought, she must have noticed something. But at that time, her parents died, her concubines were eyeing each other, and the debt collection outside was blocked at the door of the house every day, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, what could an orphan girl do even if she knew?

I can only swallow the bitter water.

Lu Jingyuan, who was over-supplemented and completely immersed in grief and distress, did not expect that if Ah Yao had realized it at that time, there would not have been the last family property that was lost by Song Qinwen in the next three years, and even the ancestral house was pawned in the end. However, after pawning the ancestral house, she was also faintly aware of it, so she did her best to secretly hide the deed of the Hu family's ancestral shop. From the latter point of view, he was not wrong.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the girl had been greatly wronged, and even the eyes of Lu Jingyuan when she looked at these businessmen became more and more unkind.

When the cold face reached the eyes of these merchants, it became that the little marquis was angry. Aren't you angry? The court did not ask them for silver in vain, and the military salaries raised could be used to offset future taxes. It is not only famous but also does not lose profits, and the conditions offered by the imperial court can be said to be generous.

But how did they repay the favor? The day before the collection of military salaries, they gathered here and handed over a large sum of money to another person who did not deal with the imperial court.

Not to mention the high-ranking little marquis, they will be angry if they are replaced.

No, they themselves are angry. Song Qinwen's words are there, whoever is the emperor's businessman, the emperor can't be the master, and what King Ping said just now is to lie to them. King Ping Tianhuang nobles dare not offend, this will make them hate Shen Jinshan, who beat the side drum for King Ping and bragged about him.

"Master Hou, it was Shen Jinshan who asked me to wait and discuss the matter of spring silkworms."

"Yes, it's him, the villain doesn't doubt that he will come over."

"I was dizzy just now, and I heard him boast vigorously about how glorious the Queen Mother of Ping was. As businessmen, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy, and we are just habitually building relationships. ”

"I didn't come up with so much money at all, but who knew that this dog-mother used such a means to confuse people's minds with Furong. Master Hou, that amount of silver was originally used by the villain to count his family property in the past few days and vacate it to support the military needs in the northwest. ”

"The conditions given by Master Hou are so generous, and the money donated can also be used to offset the taxes paid in the coming year. And if the money is given to someone else, it will be gone, and it may not even be able to hear a sound. How can we in business make such an unprofitable deal? ”

Not all the people who followed Shen Jinshan had to accompany him all the way to the dark. Although the businessmen who came to the banquet today have some friendship with Shen Jinshan, most of them are for profit. Seeing that it was unprofitable, the anger of being deceived completely rose. Shang Jia, who was sitting at the end and had the most distant relationship with Shen Jinshan, was the first to speak, followed by some people in the middle who were gossiping.

In the end, even the several dogs who were lying on the ground and wailing after being burned saw that the situation was not good, and they quickly changed their words.

"That's the silver to be donated tomorrow, Hou Ye Mingjian."

Look at that cowardice, it is these people who bullied his stupid girls in their last life. There was a pain in his heart, and he didn't think about it, and in front of the fat-headed and big-eared businessman in the center, Lu Jingyuan kicked over with a heartwarming foot.

"Fang is hidden in the dark, this king can see clearly, you are the happiest when you draw the charge, and you don't see that you are not conscious at all."

"Wronged," the merchant who was rolling on the ground hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master Hou, just now Xiaomin is the closest to the dancing girl, and the inhaled A Furong must be the most, and if you are delirious, Xiaomin is also the most dizzy." Even if those of them are sober, it is impossible for Xiaomin to remain sober. ”

As soon as this remark came out, he was immediately attacked by everyone behind him: "Fart, you are sober." ”

"I must have been confused, I didn't know what I had done."

"If I am sober, I will definitely not be able to honor so much. That amount of silver, I really plan to donate it to the court tomorrow. ”

Trampled under the soap boots, the obese businessman almost wanted to cry without tears. looked at Shen Jinshan hopefully, but found that the other party had no intention of caring at all. In desperation, he could only repeat incoherently: "The villain is really confused, he doesn't know anything." The sky can see that the silver villain originally planned to donate it to the imperial court. ”

"Are you really going to donate it to the imperial court?"

Lu Jingyuan deliberately accentuated the word "donation", and when he heard him say that it was not "fundraising", the businessmen present realized what this meant. But now in this situation, they are already riding a tiger.

"Donate, we are willing to donate to the imperial court." Everyone said together.

"Now King Ping wants me back?" Lu Jingyuan raised a thick deed in his hand.

is so arrogant, it is simply too deceitful. Seeing the boiled duck flying, King Ping's whole heart was dripping blood. Anger and distress are intertwined, and everything is burning, but his name is not right, and he can only endure it at this moment. Now he regrets it very much, why didn't he go to Huainan, but came to Qingcheng to face this demon king of the world, you must know that since he returned to Beijing when he was eight years old, he has fought many times in ten years, and he has never won once!

And this will be the closest to success, he could have taken time out of half of the silk merchants in Qingcheng, and the other half of Wu Tongzhi staring at him will definitely make him not good, and the two will cooperate this time he will definitely be able to return home.

I didn't expect that even the deed was in hand, but it fell short like this!

Good regrets! Hateful! It's so helpless!

"I would like to thank all the businessmen. It's not early, so it's better for you to go back early. This Hou will wait for Master Shen and you in Yunlai Lou tomorrow morning, and I will say goodbye here. ”

Handing over the thick stack of deeds to the secret guard next to him, Lu Jingyuan strode out of the room. Then he took up the light work and came to the courtyard, straddled the horse he was riding when he came, and hurried down the mountain with a whip.

Behind him, the merchants fell to the ground. Seeing the vermilion ink left on Fang Cai's hand when he drew it, the red color was like the blood of their hearts.

"That's a lot of silver."

"I've been busy for so many years, and half of my belongings are in my family."

The hall was full of mourning, and they had lost so much money, but who could blame them for this? Blame the little marquis? They are the ones who have backtracked. Blame the Ping King? They don't dare. The first two didn't dare, and they all set their eyes on Shen Jinshan in the middle.

"Just blame him, it's him who uses Fleur to hurt people."

"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that Ah Furong was stunned, he wouldn't have been confused about drawing on the deed."

"That's right, in vain we are still good friends with him on weekdays, this dog-mother can raise it. Shen Jinshan, bald old man, you pay me back my hard-earned money. ”

All kinds of scolding came, but the business partner who was still looking at him looked at him with hatred, and Shen Jinshan's head suddenly became as big as a fight. He had already thought of this situation, and after thinking about it, he could only push Ah Ci out now.

"Everyone calm down, Shen has been with everyone from the afternoon until now, how could he have the opportunity to do such a thing."

"Who else could you have? Could it be the king of peace? ”

The distraught King Ping stood up and looked at Shen Jinshan hatefully: "Who else is there besides him?" The king did not bother to use such tricks. ”

"Lord Wang, it's obviously Ah Ci who came up with the method." Caring about anything else, Shen Jinshan now just wants to get rid of his notoriety.

But no one believed him, "Who are you lying to?" Who didn't know that Shen Moci had already set off yesterday and went to the ancestral house of the Shen family. ”

"She's in this courtyard now, and I'll order her to be found."

But Shen Jinshan's wish was disappointed again, and when he heard the voice of the little marquis, Shen Moci was already keenly aware of the danger. After returning to the room to clean up, she opened the corner door and escaped from the courtyard, and fled all the way down the mountain along the familiar path. Even in order to make her escape faster, Lu Jingyuan also ordered a secret guard to follow her and help her clean up the thorns along the road.

The people of the whole courtyard united and dug the entire courtyard three feet into the ground, and Shen Moci could not be found, and Shen Jinshan was even more difficult to argue.

After learning the result, Song Qinwen, who had been in a nervous state, breathed a sigh of relief. When he was at his most critical and down, it was Ah Ci who accepted him again, and then took great pains to introduce him to King Ping. With such a knowing grace, how could he not do something for Ah Ci.

"I've been staying in the courtyard for the past few days, and I've never seen Shen Moci." Walking up to the person in rags, Song Qinwen said categorically.

Shen Jinshan is lying! The truth couldn't be clearer.

I don't know who got up, and someone began to pick up the dishes on the table and throw them at Shen Jinshan's face. Seeing that the dishes were thrown away, some people directly rolled up their sleeves and got started. It didn't take long for Shen Jinshan to start panting and weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh no, he's having a wheezing attack."

"I said everyone calm down, you can still make money if the money is gone, and if you take your life and go to prison, you will have nothing."

"His appearance is really infuriating. I also want to borrow our silver to compete with the nine-tailed old fox for the head of Qingcheng, and I want to give him a copper plate, I am my grandson. ”

"If you don't give it to him, seeing the spring silkworms forming cocoons, the silver in our hands is not enough, why should we borrow money to achieve his good deeds."

The deed that could be borrowed from the silver had been handed over to Shen Jinshan, and just when everyone was at a loss, Shen Jinshan, who was becoming more and more uncomfortable, began to plead.

"Looking for Langzhong? Spit out the deed of borrowing the money first. ”

Under the threat of life, although his heart was dripping blood, Shen Jinshan had no choice but to agree to tear up the deed. While talking about him, he comforted himself, fortunately, he extorted a large sum of silver from the Hu family early in the morning, which could solve his urgent needs.

Shen Jinshan suffered heavy losses here, but the little marquis who returned to the Hu family on the other side received an unexpected surprise.
