Chapter 85: Blackmail (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Lu Chengting heard that Xiao Haoqing asked him to stay and protect Miss Xiao, but he didn't need to say anything.

This is not the time for controversy, deal with the matter here as soon as possible, and leave early to avoid the killer coming back.

In order to gain time, Xiao Haoqing took all the guards away, and Lu Chengting also waved his hand to let the guards around him go to help.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to walk back to the carriage with Bai Guo.

Lu Chengting followed silently, but the two were not familiar with each other, and they were silent all the way without a word.

When he walked to the side of the carriage, Lu Chengting spoke unhurriedly, "Miss Xiao plans to open a sugar store?" ”

There is nothing to hide about this matter, Xiao Jinyue nodded and said, "There is such a plan." ”

"Your sugar shop is also going to sell those cane sugar, caramel sugar, cane syrup and so on?"

Although Xiao Jinyue was a little surprised, this ordinary looking indifferent son was actually curious about her opening a sugar shop, but she didn't ask too much.

Shaking his head, he said, "No, I'm not going to sell those sugars, I've made some new varieties out there." If the prince likes it, when my workshop is built, I will ask my eldest brother to give you some to taste. ”

When Lu Chengting heard this, he said unexpectedly, "Build a workshop? Are you planning to produce in high volumes? ”

"Yes, I have the intention of doing so."

"You've developed a good new variety?"

Listening to his questions carefully, Xiao Jinyue didn't hide it, "It's okay, I heard that the sugar I developed is not available in Kyoto, so it's the only one." ”

I thought she was just idle and bored, opening a small shop to pass the time and making some rouge gouache money by the way, but in this way, it is more than that.

Lu Chengting frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and said, "Do you know that the Taishenglong business is an imperial businessman, and the sugar of their business is specially paid to the tribute palace, and all the excess is sold to those high-ranking noble mansions." ”

"I know about this, originally I wanted to get some cane sugar from Taishenglong, but unfortunately they didn't have the goods."

After a pause, Xiao Jinyue continued, "Are you worried that I will face up to Tai Shenglong?" ”

Lu Chengting glanced at her lightly, not too stupid, "As far as I know, the owner behind Taishenglong is Ning Guogong. ”

Ning Guogong?

Xiao Jinyue frowned, she guessed that the owner behind Tai Shenglong was not simple, but she didn't expect it to be Ning Guogong, who was in power.

Seeing her entangled face, I thought she had already understood the strength of her opponent.

After thinking about it, Lu Chengting still said, "I heard that the prince of Nan'an said that Princess Nan'an likes sweets, but she often has a headache and can't buy sucrose. Aren't you good with Minghua County, if you can pull her to open a sugar shop together, and have Nan'an Wangfu as your backer, not to mention that your sugar shop is walking sideways in Kyoto, at least you want to open a store in peace and make some rouge gouache money. ”

"I see, thank you for your proposal. When the workshop is built, new sugar is made, and my eldest brother will give a copy to the prince as a thank you gift. ”

Xiao Jinyue thanked him for his blessings, no matter what the prince of Zhenguo thought, he could tell her the proprietor behind Tai Shenglong, and suggested that she pull her to the Nan'an Royal Mansion as a backer, which could be regarded as a great help to her, and she deserved her gratitude.

Lu Chengting glanced at her lightly, "No need, I don't like sweets." ”

The reason why I mentioned her was just for the sake of her detoxifying him, and she casually pointed out one or two.

"That's it, we can leave for Beijing."

Over there, Xiao Haoqing came back with the guards, and Lian Gongzi was supported by the guards and followed behind, his face looked even whiter than before, presumably because he felt uncomfortable when he saw those dead guards.

This is a wilderness, I can't pay attention to it so much, and I am worried that those killers will come back again, so the Lian Gongzi can only ask Xiao Haoqing's guards to dig a big pit, and hastily bury those killed guards and stewards into a big pit, and then find an opportunity to move them back to their hometown for burial in the future.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at Lian Gongzi, who was about to faint, in this situation, if he followed them back to Beijing on horseback, he was afraid that he would fall again before he was halfway through.

Xiao Jinyue didn't want to waste the antidote pills and wound medicine she had made with great difficulty, so she had to say to Xiao Haoqing, "Big brother, Bai Guo and I rode back to Beijing on horseback, and let the carriage sit for Gongzi Lian and the guards." ”

Xiao Haoqing also saw that Lian Gongzi was supported by guards, so he naturally couldn't ride a horse, so he had to nod and agree.

Even the son saw that for him, the girl gave up the carriage, and she couldn't help it, and she wanted to excuse herself. In the end, Xiao Haoqing couldn't see it, and he thought that his mother-in-law and mother couldn't help but say, and pushed him into the carriage with force.

Lian Gongzi sighed in his heart, and didn't shirk anymore, he could only think about waiting for him to recover, and then think about repaying others.

This delay, the group hurried slowly, it was dark, and they didn't catch up to return to Beijing.

I had to spend another night outside the city.

The city gate was in front of them, and everyone didn't have to rush to leave, so they just slept well outside the city.

The next day, when the sun was three, everyone got up slowly.

After having eaten, he packed up again and set off for the city.

This trip was full of loads, and Xiao Jinyue was in a good mood.

After entering the city, riding a horse and walking slowly on the street, Xiao Jinyue took the opportunity to enjoy the style of Kyoto.

There are not many opportunities to travel with the girl, Bai Guo rode a horse and followed her, excited along the way, chattering and chattering with Xiao Jinyue about what he had seen along the way.

Xiao Jinyue looked at the various stalls on both sides of the road with relish, and responded to a few sentences from time to time.

Xiao Haoqing followed behind not far from the guards.

Soon after the prince of Zhenguo entered the city, he seemed to have met an acquaintance, and was stopped halfway to greet him, Xiao Haoqing only glanced at it casually, and didn't care much.

Turning his head and taking the guards to follow Xiao Jinyue in front slowly.

Xiao Jinyue was retracting her gaze from a mask stall when she saw a girl who seemed to be crashing towards her horse, and quickly pulled the reins to control the horse under her seat away from the girl.

A maid in the back rushed over at this time, held the girl up, and opened her mouth to question Xiao Jinyue.

"Oh, how did you ride a horse, you didn't have long eyes, and you almost bumped into my girl."

Xiao Jinyue looked at it fixedly, frowned, how could she meet this pair of master and servant anywhere?

Bai Guo heard the voice, turned his head, and saw that it was He Wanying's master and servant, and suddenly became angry, and said angrily on the horse, "Who the hell doesn't have eyes, my girl is riding a horse and stopping here to buy something, obviously your girl is far away and deliberately bumps into my girl's horse." I don't blame you for walking without eyes, you even beat a rake. ”

While speaking, Bai Guo sat on the horse, glanced He Wanying's master and servant up and down, and then said disdainfully, "What, you are short of silver, and you want to blackmail my girl?" Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, we are not strangers who have just entered Beijing, and we can blackmail you at will! ”
