Chapter 292: The stupid stunned young man can't live now
Although Yancheng is not very large, it is also a large town that can rank in the top three in the country of Yan, and the lord of the country of Yanzhi does not have a fixed bureau, but he is a man who came out of Yancheng, so this village and town that was originally nameless and nameless was called Yancheng.

As one of the vassal countries of the Fire Country, the Fire Country can only barely be regarded as having a place in the entire Fire Country's camp, and even with it, the entire Yan City has also felt a certain amount of benefit.
And as Xiao Qi said, the Hyuga clan is definitely the most famous businessman in Yancheng, because they almost control the economic lifeline of the entire Yancheng, and they are involved in all aspects, and their relationship network is even connected to the other two towns in the country of Yan, so it is no exaggeration to say that if there is no Hyuga clan, the business and finance of the entire Yancheng will fall into chaos.
And as the only daughter of the patriarch of the Hyuga family, Hinata Qi, has received the best education in the family since she was a child, and she has perfectly inherited the family's business talent, not only that, but also has quite good attainments in magic, so in the past few years, she was also a well-known honor student in the Magic Academy of the Land of Fire.
It is said that although the family industry of the Hyuga family is far from the level of a business empire, it is already quite good in the eyes of ordinary people, and Xiaoqi's father Hyuga Yuyi is very good at being a person, and he gives gifts to the lords of the country of Yan every year, so in front of the lords, their family can be regarded as a spring breeze.
But this is the island of masks, and the lord of one side is the supreme ruler of the territory, in other words, they have absolute rule over their subordinate people.
And this absolute dominance often represents many things.
Originally, everything was perfect, the lord was very happy, and the industry of the Hyuga family was thriving, but what no one expected was that the lord who was high up actually turned his face when he said it.
He first proposed to Hinata Yuyi that he wanted to invest in the Hyuga's industry, and then proposed to recognize the only daughter of the Hinata family, Xiaoqi, as his goddaughter, and after Hinata Yuyi reluctantly agreed to his two requests, he suddenly showed his fox tail.
The last request he made was for Hinata to leave a will, stating that if he, the patriarch of the family, died, the lord would come forward and accept all the Hinata family's inheritance.
Very clumsy skills, and cliché plot, but very useful, Hinata Yuyi, as a shrewd businessman, how could he not see the true intentions of the lord, as long as he made this will, the lord would definitely try to make him, the patriarch of the Hyuga family in the prime of life, die in "some accident", and then all the foundation he had worked hard for all his life was made a wedding dress for others!
Moreover, if she died, her daughter Xiaoqi would suddenly have no value in the eyes of the lord, and in this place where human life was as cheap as mustard, she might be sold directly to slave traders by this black-hearted lord.
So in the end, Hinata Yuyi did not agree to the lord's request, but how could Shang Jia be the lord's opponent, even if he tried hard, after all, he still did not escape the trap carefully set by the lord.
Because of some trumped-up crimes, the property of the Hyuga family was seized one by one, the trees fell and scattered, the walls fell and everyone pushed them, and countless small families related to the Hyuga family turned against each other, and in just a few months, the entire Hyuga family became a miserable state of nothing.
Wen Wen couldn't imagine what had happened here, and even if he didn't understand this kind of economic problem, he knew very well that the lord's behavior was tantamount to killing chickens and eggs.
However, from another point of view, if he can achieve the position of lord, he naturally cannot be a fool, so the beginning and end of this whole thing will suddenly become clear.
Either the lord of the country of fire has found a replacement for the Hyuga family, or there is a greater force that asks the lord of the country of fire to do so, after all, a merchant family like the Hyuga family can definitely be regarded as his god of wealth, if he really can't even figure out these relationships, it is impossible to sit in the position of lord.
After that, the Hyuga family withdrew from the historical stage of Yancheng, Xiaoqi's father also collapsed, and soon died of depression, and within a few days, her mother also followed in her father's footsteps and died, in the legendary Hyuga family in Yancheng, she was the only one left in the blink of an eye.
Although Xiaoqi is proficient in the way of businessmen, it is still unrealistic to let her start from scratch as a weak girl, so she can only rely on the magic she has learned to act as a mercenary in the guild, doing some small tasks to earn some money to support herself.
But the mercenary guild also has the rules of the mercenary guild, that is, each task must be completed by at least one combination, and the simplest combination is a samurai with a magician, but this job is too dangerous, and as long as there is money, mercenaries do almost anything, so in general, almost no one wants to make a pair with a young magician like Xiaoqi, after all, it is a job to lick blood from the knife edge, if something goes wrong, it will be dead.
Later, a samurai who had received the favor of Xiaoqi's father found her, and expressed his willingness to be a combination with her, after completing some small tasks, the samurai suddenly abandoned Xiaoqi and disappeared for no reason, and the desperate Xiaoqi could only borrow some money from those ruffians so as not to starve to death on the streets, but this also made her involved in the trap of loan sharks.
Rolling interest to make money, this interest is impossible for Xiaoqi to pay off.
"Alas...... Let's go. After listening to Xiaoqi's story, he sighed gently, the tragic stories in the world are basically the same, although it makes people sigh, but this is life, cruel, and helpless.
"Wengrass...... Thank you really, very much! Speaking of this, Xiao Qi suddenly bowed deeply to the gentleness in front of him, "I'm ...... now I really don't know what to do, I don't want any of the bonus for this mission, I will return it to you. ”
"A few gold coins don't matter, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, although this is fate, but we still have to flutter twice."
Although he said so, he was not the kind of stupid hairy boy, and he had a reserved attitude of "four points believe and six points do not believe" for Xiao Qi's words.
After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they are still in such a strange place, facing such a strange girl.
………………
After Wen Wen and Xiao Qi left, Prince Swen suddenly appeared on the edge of the alley, looking at the two people who were far away, the prince smiled and shook his head.
"Dear...... What did you find, old man? ”
"Gentle, this guy obviously doesn't believe the girl next to him, but he still has to pretend to be pity and trusting." The prince laughed, "This kid is really shrewd and annoying. ”
