Early the next morning when she came to Phoenix Town, Duguqing took Poxi and Liu Chang to have breakfast in a closed luxury box exclusive to her.

The three of them were talking and laughing happily, eating Shudi's special food. Someone knocked on the door and came in and reported to Dugu Qing: "Miss, the prince of the Feng family sent someone to ask, when will it be convenient for Miss to meet with him to discuss our failure to deliver on time?" ”

"Cut, it's coming quickly, Miss Ben hasn't eaten and drunk well, but he is well-informed and knows that Miss Ben is already in Phoenix Town."

When Po Xi heard the son of the Feng family, he couldn't help but be surprised, glanced at Liu Chang, and tacitly stood still.

"Tell him that he was invited to come to our "Yingfeng Pavilion" for lunch to dine together, and I accompanied him as the east, and personally explained to him the delay in delivery and discussed solutions. ”

After the subordinates retreated, Liu Chang pretended to be casual and asked, "The son of the Feng family refers to the son of the Feng family, who is famous in Bashu?" ”

"Phoenix Town is a Feng family that covers the sky with one hand, and the famous one you are talking about is probably that one."

"Listening to my sister's tone, it doesn't seem like I treat them very well?" Percy also interjected along the topic.

"Hmph, I really don't want to see them, relying on their status as nobles of the Bashu generation, they are obviously also involved in business, but they look down on people who do business, especially me, a woman, who does better than them, and stimulates their nerves, so they can find fault with me if they have nothing to do. The head of the Feng family does not take care of the fabric business, and all the business is handed over to his heir Feng. ”

Speaking of Feng Daicheng, Dugu Qing looked serious, and said: "Feng Daicheng seems to be a decent person, although I have a lot of contact with him in business, and he is definitely the best in business, but I always feel that this person is not simple, not just doing business." ”

"Why?" Liu Chang couldn't help but continue to investigate, but he didn't expect that he and the little fairy were still worried about how to contact the Feng family, and Duguqing, who met a true temperament, actually had business dealings with the Feng family. It seems like a no-brainer to get in touch with it.

"I can't say it, because I'm only in charge of business and making money, and I don't bother to dig into the specifics. I have raised less than a hundred guards myself, but it is said that he has four or five hundred soldiers in his household alone, which is far more than the law requires. Qin law stipulates that private soldiers are not allowed to exceed 100, and they are nobles, at most 200. But everyone knows about the Feng family, there are four or five hundred, and who knows how many people don't know. ”

"Are they so daring?" Liu Chang secretly thought about the power of this, Bashu had long been attached to the Qin State, and all actions must be governed by the Qin law, no matter how famous the Feng family is, it should not be so bold to know the law and break the law.

"Although Bashu has long belonged to the Qin State, the great god of Xianyang City probably can't take care of the Bashu region, and most of the officials who control Bashu are still the original institutions. The status of the Feng family in Bashu is not a day or two, from the county guard to the people, they all respect the Feng family, especially the head of the Feng family often does something to benefit the people, and it is the desire of the people, and recruiting too many soldiers will not be a big problem at all. ”

"Since the Feng family is so popular in the local area, it is estimated that no one will dare to violate them, is it necessary to raise so many soldiers? Could it be that because the business has grown, it is necessary to raise a family soldier to escort the goods everywhere like Sister Qing? ”

Duguqing was suspicious because of the fact that Poxi and Liu Chang kept inquiring about the Feng family, and he never asked them why they came all the way to Bashu. No matter how you look at it, the two of them are not ordinary people. She is a straightforward person, since she has questions, and she regards Perxi as a confidant, she has to ask clearly.

"Perxi, since you have recognized me as a sister, I also treat you sincerely, you are honest, who are you? Why are you so concerned about the affairs of the Feng family? Is there any purpose? ”

Po Xi didn't expect Dugu Qing to ask so directly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Liu Chang thought that Po Xi didn't want to reveal too much, so he tried to think about it: "What purpose can we have, this is not the Feng family's ......"

"Uncle, needless to say, Sister Qing treats me sincerely, and I should also be sincere, and maybe we also need Sister Qing's help."

Po Xi knew that Liu Chang wanted to continue to conceal it, but instead of hiding and maneuvering, why not quickly explain that he needed help, so he looked at Dugu Qing again and took a deep breath.

"Sister Qing, I was killed for some special reasons, my mother was killed in order to save me, and two maids who grew up with me like relatives were all killed in order to save me, and the murderer is likely to be from Bashu, and even related to the Feng family, I wanted to find out the reason, avenge her, and not let my mother die in vain, so I came to Bashu desperately. Now that I met Sister Qing, who is fast talking, I was originally only one more sister, but I heard that my sister had dealings with the Feng family, so I selfishly wanted my sister to help me get on this line, so that I could have the opportunity to contact the Feng family. ”

"Okay, I understand, I won't ask any more, since you are in need, I am obligated to do this little favor, you can rest assured, no matter what, I will help you to the end."

"Dugu, I suddenly adore you very much, are you willing to accept my worship?" Liu Chang heard Duguqing's concise and clear true feelings, and couldn't help grinning at Duguqing.

"Get out, get out of here." Duguqing suddenly felt that Liu Chang was like a fool and didn't bother to pay attention to him. But I don't really hate Liu Chang in my heart.

Half a day passed, and Feng Daicheng came to Yingfeng Pavilion on time to meet Duguqing. Dugu Qing asked people to prepare a good wine and good food, and raised his glass to Feng Daicheng, who was sitting opposite, and said: "There is Lao Shizi coming, if you are far away, I will do it first as a respect, please feel free to the prince." "After that, a glass of wine is already in the stomach.

"Mrs. Dugu is quick to talk every time, a woman is more bold than a man, I am afraid that the head of the Dugu young family is still alive, and Mrs. Dugu is a little shorter."

Here it is again, this guy who hides a knife in his smile, hinting that she is a restless widow in and out of his words, just because the most central piece of Phoenix Town where the inn was built before was bought by Duguqing from the seller first, and then Feng Daicheng wanted to buy it from her, Duguqing resolutely did not agree to sell, and left an unpleasant pimple.

Since both of them are rich and rival the country, and they have a certain amount of influence in their respective places, Feng Daicheng did not dare to be too much to Duguqing. In addition, the two businesses are close, especially the Feng family has dansha and mineral resources.

Dansha is a medicinal material, but only the Badi Dugu family has this smelting technology, and the iron ore produced by the Dugu family is also the largest output. Over the years, the Shu Di Feng family has continued to buy a large amount of dansha and iron ore from the Dugu family, which means that these ores are transported by them to farther places to trade and obtain money.

Since Duguqing put the price to the highest and the Feng family agreed, Duguqing felt that since it was possible to obtain high profits nearby, why bother to ship it farther away to trade.

But there is one point, Dugu Qing is extremely suspicious of the Feng family's real purpose of buying Dugu family's dansha and iron ore in large quantities. Because she had asked people to inquire about the price of dansha and iron ore in the Qin State, the price of the transaction in the Qin State was lower than the price she gave to the Feng family. If the Feng family is going to be shipped out to do business, then the mountains and rivers are far away, and there is no profit, how can it be so thankless to accept the price she offers?

Because she felt that it had nothing to do with herself, she didn't pay attention to it, anyway, she gave the goods, the Feng family gave the money, and she was too lazy to study what the Feng family was going to do.

It's just that it turned out that for several years, the iron ore and dansha were smoothly transported from the official road to Shu for trading. However, for more than a year, there have been a large number of bandits on the official roads close to Shu, and they have looted the Dansha and iron ore of Dugu's family on the road many times. As a result, Dugu Qing owed a large number of orders to the Feng family, and this time he had no choice but to come to Feng to discuss the problem with Feng Daicheng.

Duguqing tepidly raised his wine glass and drank the wine boldly, and said slowly: "Is there any way, just like the son of the world said, my husband died young, I have no children and no daughters, I have to live, I don't rely on myself, I'm afraid I won't die anymore." I'm a natural rebel and can't be bullied. Therefore, trying to come out to fight the world, I thought it would be so difficult that I would not die and peel off the skin, but I didn't expect that it would take much effort, and I would compare a group of big men to the ground in three strokes and two clicks, and suddenly the wealth of the Dugu family became a mountain of gold and silver, and I couldn't take it out, and I couldn't use it out. I'm also guilty, I'm a woman, I have the grace of God, and I have done business so well, even the famous son of the world has been doing business with me Duguqing for five years, doesn't this prove that there is a reason for me? ”

Feng Daicheng frowned, the corners of his mouth twitched, knowing that Duguqing's words were blatantly sarcastic that he looked down on her, but he still begged to do business with her. But in fact, he never looked down on her, but every time he said something, he didn't know why it was not good. He himself didn't know why he was so-for-tat with Dugu Qing, and no one wanted to see anyone.

"Mrs. Dugu has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and she is really the material for doing business, no wonder all the merchants in Bashu are bowing down under Madame's pomegranate skirt."

"The prince is right, Miss Ben has this ability, one day if Miss Ben falls in love with a man with his eyes, it is not impossible to recruit Dugu's family as a husband, and all Bashu knows that Miss Ben is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Dugu family, but the eldest lady of the Dugu family." Dugu Qing jumped his eyebrows slightly and said: "Ah, I see that the prince looks very handsome, one day my interest comes, the prince does not dislike it, I may want to put the prince in my account and have a good time." After speaking, he hooked his eyes and smiled charmingly.

Feng Daicheng was angry, Duguqing treated him as a male pet, there have long been rumors among businessmen that Duguqing used beauty to obtain business orders, and the number of guests who entered the curtain was not very numerous, although with his understanding of Duguqing, those should be just rumors.

But thinking that his noble identity was so insulted by Dugu Qing, the hand holding the wine glass burst out, and he endured his anger and said: "Miss Dugu is informal, how can I dislike anything as a big man." However, what we are going to talk about today is not the wind and snow, but the dansha and iron ore that the Dugu family owes to the Feng family. Now that our Feng family has breached the contract because of your Dugu family, the loss is immeasurable, what does Miss Dugu plan to do? ”

Dugu smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "Well, this is indeed the problem of our Dugu family, although the goods have been transported to Shu several times in a row, they are always robbed by the bandits for some reason." This time, I could have bypassed the bandits and brought some of them, but the road was blocked and the goods couldn't pass, so I had to apologize to the prince myself. ”

"Is it just an apology to end the breach of contract?"

"That's naturally inappropriate, just double the compensation according to the contract, but in the future, we will suspend the trading of dansha and iron ore."

"What do you mean?"

"Doesn't the prince also know that the only official road leading from Badi to Shu is occupied by bandits, in this case, how many times do I send goods through there, or will they be robbed, and I still can't deliver the goods to the prince on time, is it difficult to ask me to compensate the prince twice? I admit it once, and I'm stupid twice, I just don't rush to sell the goods, and when one day the bandits are dead, I'm trading with the world. ”

Dugu Qingyun looked at things lightly, she secretly looked at Feng Daicheng, and found that he was also expressionless, and he was not in a hurry, but his clenched fist revealed that he was more afraid of losing the Dansha and iron ore deals.

"Miss Dugu, don't you have any business? This is not in line with the mercenary nature of businessmen. As for the problem of bandits, since it is from my Shu land, this son will find a way to solve it. In addition, Miss Dugu, don't forget, the Dansha and iron ore of the Dugu family have been exclusively signed to the Feng family for ten years, if you don't continue to supply to our Feng family, you can't sell it elsewhere before the contract expires. ”

"I didn't say that I would sell it elsewhere, I just said that I wouldn't ship the goods to Shu for the time being, but just now the prince also said that it will solve the problem of bandits. Since this is the case, it's simple, the prince solves the bandits, I continue to deliver the goods, and the two of us continue to flow for a long time, no delay or arrears, this time I am unlucky, and I still lose double the money to the prince. But next time, if the same problem causes the goods to be robbed again, not only will I not lose money, but the prince must pay me according to the price. Otherwise, I still won't ship goods to Shudi. ”

Feng Daicheng squinted his eyes and stared at Dugu Qing, he knew that Dugu Qing's business skills were stronger than many men, but he didn't expect her to be so perfect, and even he secretly admired it. Originally, he could have refused her request from above, but he couldn't cut off the dansha and iron ore, so he endured and agreed to her conditions, he was responsible for cleaning up the bandits, and she was responsible for continuing to transport goods.

Liu Chang has been standing next to her as Duguqing's guard, and he listened to the conversation between Duguqing and Feng Daicheng word for word, and admired Duguqing's business skills so much.

But Liu Chang also heard something wrong, and after Feng Daicheng left, he said to Duguqing: "I think there is something suspicious about the bandits, why were the goods robbed after they had already arrived in Shudi, and if the Feng family really needed dansha and iron ore so much, Feng Daicheng didn't look like he was in a hurry to need the goods just now, but you became more nervous after you said that you couldn't continue to transport the goods." ”

"Hmph, because the goods that were robbed a few times ago have already fallen into his hands. Think about it carefully, in Shudi, who is not afraid of the influence of the Feng family. The bandits have only appeared in the past year, and they are still robbing the goods of the Feng family, which makes me have to suspect the suspicions. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Originally, I wasn't sure, so I tentatively said that I would temporarily cut off the supply of dansha and iron ore, but I didn't expect him to be in a hurry to take responsibility for solving the bandits, proving that those bandits have a lot to do with him, at least he must know whether the existence of the bandits is his own or his doing."

"In this way, this dignified son of the Feng family turned out to be such a despicable villain."

"It's not surprising, my price makes the Feng family overexpensive, and in the long run, they may not be able to bear it, so I thought of stealthily snatching the goods, not only do I not have to pay, but I also have to lose money to their Feng family, I really got cheap and sold well, and I Duguqing was a fool."

"And how are you going to get it back?"

"I'm not in a hurry, but I'm suddenly curious now, what does the Feng family want so much dansha and iron ore for?"

Duguqing turned her brain, on the one hand, she was thinking about how to help Poxi create conditions to contact the Feng family to understand the situation, and on the other hand, she wanted to find out how to find out that the lost goods were robbed by Feng Daicheng, although she had a lot of money, but she was very unhappy with this kind of loss.

Thinking about it, he didn't pay attention to Liu Chang, and walked to the backyard to find Poxi to talk about his next plans. Liu Chang didn't bother her, and followed her to the backyard.
