Chapter 2: I Believe in Her
Wei Shuyan didn't take this young man who met in Pingshui to heart.
Because her poison had not yet been cleared, the procession walked slowly, and it was not possible to go back in time to close the city gates and enter the city, so she simply found an inn outside the city to stay, just in time, to give those who wanted to kill her a chance.
"Miss", according to your orders, the guards outside are not loose or tight, so that they can find an opportunity to come in, and they will not be seen flawed. ”
"Well, Xiao Yu, you go and rest, no matter what movement there is at night, don't come out," Wei Shuyan's body seemed to be a little weaker.
"But Miss, your body," Xiao Yu grabbed Wei Shuyan's hand, her eyes full of worry, "That son's medicine has already been boiled by the shopkeeper, I have to watch you drink it in person to rest assured." ”
Wei Shuyan: "Go and rest!" I will drink the medicine myself. ”
Xiao Yu: "Miss, why don't you let me do it for you!" ”
Wei Shuyan: "Xiao Yu, I said that your life is as important as mine, and only by ensuring that you are safe can I do something wholeheartedly." ”
A few years ago, Wei Shuyan also suffered an assassination, at that time only she and Xiao Yu were two, Xiao Yu was seriously injured to save Wei Shuyan, and his life was saved, but that body of kung fu was wasted, not only that, every rainy night of the season, there will always be a faint pain in the joints, and in serious cases, you also need to take the pain relief prescribed by the doctor to get through.
Wei Shuyan took Xiao Yu to seek medical treatment everywhere, but for many years, he was not cured.
Since then, Wei Shuyan has spent a lot of money to recruit dozens of nurses, who are either retired soldiers or have studied in which sect, all of them are extraordinary.
Xiao Yu often resents her incompetence, all because of her, dragging Wei Shuyan down.
This time, I heard that a well-known traveling doctor lived in Tianhong Temple, Wei Shuyan hurried with Xiao Yu, the mountain road was difficult to walk, Wei Shuyan asked Xiao Yu to wait at the bottom of the mountain, and he took two people up the mountain, but he didn't expect to be a step late, the traveling doctor had already left, and he was chased and intercepted by the killer when he went down the mountain.
Soon after Xiao Yu left, the shopkeeper came to knock on the door, and through the afterimage on the door, he saw that there seemed to be more than the shopkeeper outside the door, and Wei Shuyan guessed a rough idea.
She hid behind the door, pulled the deadbolt with one hand, and opened the door a gap, and the person holding the shopkeeper outside broke into the door, and as soon as she stepped into the door, she heard the sound of the cup falling to the ground.
This was the signal that Wei Shuyan sent to the guards, and in an instant, a few black shadows popped out of the doors and windows, and the room was in chaos, and those few killers were naturally no match for the dozen or so guards.
The five killers were escorted to Wei Shuyan.
"You set a trap to lure us in." The killer said resentfully.
"What's the matter," Wei Shuyan leaned lazily on the table, her feet folded, the decoction that the shopkeeper brought up just now was smashed, and now another bowl was served.
Where has he seen this meeting, but he is sweating profusely after serving a bowl of medicine, Jiangling City is the place where King Chen is guarded, and there are few things to commit adultery.
"Even if you arrest us, don't even think of asking a word out of our mouths." The leader of the guards Shuyan spat and punched the guard.
Wei Shuyan slowly stood up, stepped on the man's shoulder, and stepped on the shoulder blades with strong foot force, "Did I say I was going to ask you?" ”
Before the words fell, only the sound of the dagger touching the scabbard was heard, and there was a slender line around the killer's neck.
The man's eyes widened as if they were about to protrude, the red line on his neck slowly oozed red liquid, and his mouth gushed with a fishy smell of blood.
"Drag it out, other people, find a place to solve it, don't dirty other people's inns." Wei Shuyan threw the dagger to the guards.
She naturally knew that she couldn't get a single word from the mouths of these killers, so her purpose was to want them to die, even if she knew that there would be another wave of deaths.
Wei Shuyan leaned in front of the window, outside is a round of bright full moon, today is August 15, the whole country celebrates, every family reunites to enjoy the moon, and she is so murderous in this mountain wilderness.
Wei Shuyan sat on the windowsill sideways, her eyes closed, the moonlight falling on her side face, the outline was clearly visible, and the room was still filled with the smell of the blood of the man just now, which made her sick, but also reassured her, at least it proved that she was alive.
I don't know if it was because she was too tired, or because of a moment of relaxation, Wei Shuyan, who had always been vigilant, didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes staring at her on the roof not far away.
*
The Wei family's house is located in the eastern part of Gangneung City, built along the river, luxurious but leisurely and elegant, because it was built by the grandfather for the grandmother, so a lot of thought was spent.
Wei Shuyan likes to be quiet, there are not many people who serve, in the past, only she and Xiao Yu lived, but now there are many guards, who are on duty every day, they are just ordinary people, and the battle is like a prince and nobleman.
Wei Shuyan handed over the herbs of that day to the doctor who often treats her, although she had already drunk them that day and felt that they were effective, but she was still not at ease. This doctor has received great favor from her grandfather, and he will never be unfavorable to her, so Wei Shuyan will use her.
After days of running, coupled with the poison, the body was tired, and after bathing, she was about to sleep, she lifted the pillow and saw that the dagger was safe and sound under the pillow, and checked that the bow and crossbow on the curtain were still there, and then lay down with peace of mind.
The next morning, when the genius was slightly bright, Xiao Yu knocked on her door, and someone in Daoqian Village was making trouble, and Wei Shuyan's head was groggy, as if there were thousands of monks knocking on wooden fish in their heads.
There are many industries in Weijia, involving restaurants, teahouses, docks, pawnshops, money villages, etc., the most important thing to do business is the word reputation, and money is the most accident-prone place.
The Wei family has been doing business in Gangneung for many years, and the competition in the business field is fierce, and Wei Shuyan is different from her grandfather in terms of business and treatment.
Wei Lin treats people generously, has a good reputation in the Chamber of Commerce, and treats those who are unscrupulous to steal business, and he has repeatedly tolerated them. Although Wei Shuyan is his granddaughter, she is the opposite of him, and over the past few years, she has made many enemies.
"Miss, why is your face so bad," Xiao Yu took the cloak and put it on Wei Shuyan, seeing that her face was pale, and she knew that she hadn't slept well with Wuqing at the moment, she was very worried, "Is it that the residual poison has not been cleared yet." ”
"It's okay, it's just a little headache, Xiao Yu, you tell me what's going on." Wei Shuyan closed her eyes and rubbed her fingers gently on her temples.
Xiao Yu: "Today, before the money village opened, many people gathered outside the door, saying that they got fake silver tickets from our money bank yesterday. ”
Wei Shuyan's massaged hand paused for a moment and opened his eyes, "The money in the money village is guarded by a special person, how can there be a fake silver ticket." ”
Wei Shuyan: "The shopkeeper has checked all the silver in the treasury, and it is indeed mixed with fake silver tickets. ”
The guys in the money bank are all old people, how can they not even distinguish between the real and fake silver tickets, if this is the case, in addition to the entire money bank being bought, there is only one possibility, the fake silver tickets must be so realistic that ordinary people can hardly distinguish.
But to create such a fake silver ticket, it is not something that ordinary people can do.
Without further ado, Xiao Yu had already prepared the carriage, and the two of them quickly rushed to Qianzhuang.
Qian Zhuang had already been surrounded by people, and when they saw the carriage of the Wei family, the angry crowd came to Wei Shuyan's carriage with silver tickets in their hands, and a few of them clenched their fists, as if they were going to beat someone.
"The Wei family money village is a time-honored brand, we put the money here because we trust the Wei family, but now something like this has happened, Miss Wei, you have to give us an explanation no matter what today."
"Yes! Miss Wei, we are all small businesses, you can't treat us like this. ”
"Don't talk nonsense with them, Wei Shuyan, if we don't explain things clearly today, we will smash this money bank."
In the masses, most people really want to get their money back, but there are some people who are deliberately inciting everyone's emotions, and these people are the people who have been bribed to make trouble.
Their every move has been controlled by Wei Shuyan, most of them are young adults under 20 to 35, all of them are strong and strong, and they are really good at smashing the store.
"Everyone, first calm down, whether the silver ticket is from our money bank has yet to be verified, and please be quiet." Xiao Yu got out of the carriage and wanted to stabilize everyone's emotions.
Obviously, those people didn't buy Xiao Yu's account.
"What qualifications do you have to speak, a?"
The words of those people became more and more ugly, and seeing that Wei Shuyan was delayed, everyone's emotions became more and more excited, and some even began to slap the carriage, almost startling the horse.
Just when the crowd was angry, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a dagger flew out with a "whoosh", hitting the gong hanging in front of the door, the dagger entered the wood for three points, and the gong shook back and forth, making a rumbling sound, which shocked everyone present.
Wei Shuyan stood on the carriage and glanced at the person who spoke just now, although he didn't say a word, he had a kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant.
Seeing the person in charge come out, there was silence in the audience, and then there was a shout.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if the fake silver ticket really came from our bank, then I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. But if someone wantonly planted a false accusation, my Wei family will not be spared. The second half of Wei Shuyan's sentence was said to those who were assigned by his peers.
Wei Shuyan has won a ruthless heart in the business field over the years, and she can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes, and if she dares to play conspiracy against her, she will either go bankrupt or die.
When she took over the Wei family's business, she was eighteen years old, and the people in the Chamber of Commerce saw that she was young and a woman, so they inevitably targeted her, and made a rule that women are not allowed to do business.
At first, Wei Shuyan ignored it, but later, the rest of the Chamber of Commerce began to use tricks to maliciously compete, and Wei Shuyan rushed directly to the Chamber of Commerce and tore up the Chamber of Commerce regulations that said that women could not do business.
With dozens of people surrounded the Chamber of Commerce, forcing them to revise the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, of course a few old stubborns refused, Wei Shuyan did not let them eat, only gave tea to drink, and could bear it without eating for a few hours, but after drinking too much tea, he wanted to go to the thatched house.
The old diehards are also considered to be people with heads and faces in Gangneung, if it is rumored that they were forced to wet their crotch by the little girl, they will ruin their reputation for a lifetime, and finally compromise.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons, the important thing is that they know that Wei Shuyan is not a little woman who is raised in the deep boudoir and doesn't understand anything.
Due to the power of the Wei family and Wei Shuyan's identity, they only dared to do something in private, trying to make her retreat, and in the end they just found a step down the river.
These things are well known to everyone in Jiangling, so they are a little afraid of Wei Shuyan, those villains were still aggressive before, and as soon as Wei Shuyan said this, they didn't dare to incite the masses anymore.
Wei Shuyan checked the fake silver ticket, which had the ticket number and seal of Weijia Qianzhuang, and the time when the guest took the silver ticket also coincided with the counter record.
Today's events, whether true or not, will damage the reputation of the bank, and even other shops will be affected, so saving the reputation is the first problem to be solved now.
Wei Shuyan: "Everyone, the fake silver ticket is indeed from Qian Zhuang. ”
There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone said a word and I said a word, and there was a commotion again.
Wei Shuyan: "This matter is definitely not intentional on our part, I will definitely find out who stole the silver tickets, and promise everyone that there will never be such a situation in the future, and the silver taels and valuables you have deposited here will never be fine." ”
"Why should we believe you, no, I'm going to take all my money,"
"Give us back the money, give us the money back."
Wei Shuyan had long thought that there would be such a trick, as long as there was a fake silver ticket, everyone would definitely not rest assured that the money would be stored here, the money bank had a lot of borrowed money, if everyone came to get it back, the money bank would cross, and they might have to lose half of the Wei family's assets, which is probably the purpose of the people behind it.
Fortunately, Wei Shuyan had already taken a countermeasure, she said a few words in Xiao Yu's ear, Xiao Yu left, looking at the anxious people below, Wei Shuyan was just about to speak, when she heard a familiar voice.
"I believe her."
