Chapter 258: Messenger of the Capital
Ling Xiu'er and Yeluda followed for a while, but they felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Do you feel it? It's not like going to the capital. It stands to reason that if you are going to the capital, you should take the official road over there, which is safe and flat, so why take this path? ”
Ling Xiu'er cast a puzzled look at Yeluda, and the other party quickly understood and agreed.
"So what do you mean? They didn't go to the capital, but to secretly transport this batch to another place. ”
Ling Xiu'er nodded, paying attention to keeping her distance from the convoy while telling her analysis.
"Look at their dart masters, they all look a little flustered, as if they are afraid that others will find something. And the path specially chosen, there must be a secret that no one knows. ”
Ling Xiu'er wanted to chase forward, but was stopped by Yeluda.
"Don't chase any more, it's out of this woods ahead of you, and it's easy to be spotted. I'll let the Dark Guard follow, and we'll go back first. ”
Ling Xiu'er nodded and followed Yeluda back.
On the way back, Jeroda boldly made her guess.
"Isn't it going to open up some new markets? And I'm afraid of being known by other businesses, so I'm so cautious? ”
After hearing this, Ling Xiu'er tilted her head and thought for a while, shook her head, and said seriously: "Although I don't know why, maybe it's just intuition, but I don't think they are like opening up new markets and finding closer roads." Although there is no evidence yet, I will definitely dig out the secrets behind these things. ”
Yeluda nodded and asked, "Do you have any ideas?" ”
"I'm going to Buzhuang tomorrow to take a look at the situation, and maybe I can dig up some news."
Early the next morning, Ling Xiuer came to Buzhuang again.
"Dude, has the silk arrived today?"
"Eh, the silk has gone to ......"
Before the second child could say anything, he was bumped with an elbow by a guy next to him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The silk is gone. ”
"Yes, yes, this guest officer, I'm sorry, the silk in our store is gone."
"Two little brothers, I don't have that much time to delay here, can you please be honest with the two of you?" Ling Xiu'er took out a bit of broken silver and stuffed it into the hands of the two, "Please." ”
"Harm, it's all sent to the capital, don't ask."
At this moment, Fan Meihua came.
Today, she is dressed in a particularly vulgar manner, and her head is piled with all kinds of gold and silver ornaments. Flash's Ling Xiu'er's eyes hurt.
"What are you two doing in a daze, go about your own business." She rudely drove away from the guy and came to Ling Xiu'er with a pretended flattery, but her words were full of sourness.
"Let me see, isn't this the Great Boss Ling? Why is it here again? It's said that we don't have any goods here, please go back. ”
"Even if you don't have stock, you should find a way to get the goods to supply the capital, and if the blame comes down, what should you do."
Ling Xiu'er was very angry when she heard her words, but she suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked Fan Meihua in a calm tone.
"This ......"
"Shopkeeper Fan, besides, this store is not yours. You are just an agent, what if you hear about this incident after Shopkeeper Li comes back, and ask you for the guilt? Are you going to push Shopkeeper Li into the fire pit? ”
"She? She went to the south to explore the market, and she didn't know when she would come back. Things in our shop don't worry about you, boss! Fan Meihua was obviously a little panicked, and in order to hide the panic in her heart, she pretended to be arrogant.
Ling Xiu'er was secretly happy in her heart, this Fan Meihua was too easy to talk about, and she told the Li family's whereabouts so easily. Since the Li family is going to explore the market, then the team yesterday is even more problematic, and it is necessary to discuss this matter with Yeluda in the long run.
Just then, a fellow came up and whispered a few words.
Fan Meihua nodded after listening, then looked at Ling Xiu'er with that flattering smile, and asked, "I don't know if Boss Ling has time at noon today, I'll be the east, please have a meal." ”
Fan Meihua is okay to invite herself to dinner, what good can it be? Eighty percent set up a Hongmen banquet waiting for him. Still, it's a good idea to see what the hell she's up to.
Ling Xiu'er nodded with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I might as well be respectful." ”
Stepping into the box at noon, Ling Xiuer found that in addition to her and Fan Meihua, there were also many squires and wealthy businessmen here, all of whom were well-known people in Tu County. I don't know what Fan Meihua's purpose was in calling these people over.
However, looking at their appearance, it seems that they respect Fan Meihua very much.
As soon as the dinner began, these squires and wealthy businessmen were instigated by Fan Meihua to pay homage to Ling Xiu'er.
"This is a big boss from the capital, and our business will depend on her to take care of her in the future, so you should treat her well." When Fan Meihua said this, she emphasized the word "good hospitality".
Now these people are boiling. They all grabbed Ling Xiu'er's wine, and took turns to salute, not letting Ling Xiu'er have a chance to breathe at all. Ling Xiu'er understood that they were here to irrigate themselves. If it comes, it will be safe, but she wants to see how much these people can feed herself.
After three rounds of drinking, Ling Xiu'er was a little drunk, but her head was still very sober. But many wealthy businessmen were a little drunk.
At this moment, Fan Meihua suddenly said: "Everyone, I suddenly have something to do, I want to leave for a while, disrespectful and disrespectful, I will come back in a while." ”
Fan Meihua gave Ling Xiu'er a provocative look, and twisted away.
Now that Ling Xiu'er is alone in this group of wealthy businessmen, she is really a little weak. When those wealthy businessmen saw that the opportunity had come, they all came to Ling Xiu'er's side, trying to tease her and say a few light words.
"Boss Ling, you are a little woman who is working too hard in business, why don't you come to my house? Enjoy gold, silver and jewelry. ”
"If you want me to say, you should stay at home as a little girl, and it's really not like you to show your face."
"Boss Ling is so beautiful, how about being a concubine for me?"
These words caused many people present to laugh. There is a bold and lustful shopkeeper, and he can't help but want to touch Ling Xiu'er's face.
Ling Xiu'er only thought these people were ridiculous. When she saw the unruly rich businessman, she slapped him directly.
"What are you? Dare to touch me? Ling Xiu'er sneered, squinting at the group of rich merchants, "You'd better behave, otherwise you'll have good fruits to eat." ”
"You're just from the capital to report the news, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending!? Where can you compare to Shopkeeper Fan! ”
The rich businessman who was beaten looked angry and scolded.
When Ling Xiu'er heard this, she didn't laugh angrily, it turned out that Fan Meihua thought that she was a messenger, no wonder she dared to do this to herself, it was really funny.
