Chapter 485 The Head of the Zhong Family
Chapter 14 The head of the Zhong family
Yi Xifeng saw the big difference in the old man's attitude before and after, and he thought it was because of himself.But the other party obviously did it with good intentions, so he didn't want to annoy others, so he decided to get some news from the little old man.

"Old shopkeeper, we are all sensible people. Since I bought this Yangshen fruit, I naturally know its value. The quality alone is not less than 500 taels."

Having said that, he paused, leaned over and whispered: "I also have a teacher to take care of me, so I would like to ask one more question, who ordered this kind of courtesy?"

The old man's eyes rolled, and an order came down from above, telling them to give some benefits when they saw this little Taoist priest in white robes, even if they lost money in business, they had to take good care of this distinguished guest.

At the beginning, the old man didn't care much about it. After all, the things he sold belonged to the goods on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Presumably such a big customer would not stay on this floor for a long time, so there was Just started the scene.

"Hehe... This honored guest, I also live and eat at Zhong's House, so there are some things I should say and shouldn't say, I really don't know!"

Seeing that the old man was still stubborn, Yi Xifeng leaned forward, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Well, tell me who passed it on, so I can go back and tell the people above me, to be honest, Zhong Home is not for me, but for the people above me."

The old man pondered for a while, and immediately felt that what the young man said was probably reasonable. After all, at the age of the other party, it was really impossible to get such care from the Patriarch.

The old shopkeeper lowered his voice and said: "In this Ruilingbao Pavilion, the person who can make such an order is wrong, either he is the head of the family or the head of the house."

"A member of the master's family?" It was the first time Yi Xifeng heard of this title, so he asked.

The old man frowned, but he quickly controlled his emotions and looked very calm on the surface.Not bad, this scene still fell into the eyes of Yi Xifeng. Based on his years of scanning and listening to gossip news... Well, it should be based on his years of experience in carrying out intelligence investigations on the salary list. The expression of the old man at that moment just now shows that there are many, many Wonderful gossip can be dug, oh no, intelligence can be unearthed.

"Oh, I heard that the Zhong family originally came from Luo Yunguo, so the head of the family is also from Luo Yunguo?"

"I said little brother's information is okay! The head of the family is indeed from the Luo Yun country, as for the head of the family, it is a native of the Beast Kingdom."

Hearing this, Yi Xifeng's heart moved, as expected, this Zhong's firm was once in power of the Zhong family, one of the six Yinren families, and this headed family member was probably the former The head of the Zhong family, Zhong Qianhe, is the grandfather of Zhong Lingxi.

Thinking of the old friend in Yinren Town, Yi Xifeng felt a little bit sad, no matter what, to meet an old friend in a foreign country, this is something that is rare for him who has been away all the time.

"Old Zhong... is he in good health?" Yi Xifeng asked softly.

The old shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Old Zhong? You mean my family is the head of the family?"

Yi Xifeng came back to his senses, blinked his eyes and asked in doubt: "The current head of the Zhong family is very young?"

The old man grinned and said: "Naturally, our Patriarch Zhong is also a young talent! How about she can..."

Speaking of this, the old shopkeeper realized that he had slipped his mouth, so he immediately shut up.

"Oh, hehe, I followed my master to learn Taoism on the mountain since I was a child. I didn't expect to change so quickly after so many years. I think Patriarch Zhong of our family only became the Patriarch in recent years, right?" Yi Xifeng seemed casual asked, but his heart was far less calm than it appeared on the surface.

The old man was a little stunned, nodded and said: "Patriarch Zhong is the grandson-in-law of the previous head of the Zhong family, and it was after their marriage was settled that the position of Patriarch was established."

As soon as these words came out, Yi Xifeng's hands visibly paused, and even the inner strength of his whole body became a little unstable.After a while, he laughed at himself and said, "After such a long time, the world will naturally change! Hehe, I should have thought of it earlier."

Seeing that there was a difference in the anti-anti-emotion, the old man's heart of gossip was suddenly ignited again, so he quietly observed Yi Xifeng from the side without interrupting him, and listened to every word the young man said.

"If Zhong Lingxi gets married, doesn't she need to come back from Qingyun?" Yi Xifeng asked directly, and at this moment his face was already calm.

The old man didn't expect that the young man knew so much, just now he called "Old Zhong, Old Zhong", but now he directly revealed the details of Zhong Lingxi.You must know that because the head of the family, Xiu'er, works in the Ruilingbao Pavilion all year round, people who hang around here don't mention the real female head in name very much!

"Uh...Actually, they're just engaged, not married yet." The old man stammered back.

"Oh? Then I'm even more curious about the identity of the head of the Zhong family? Who is it? Can Lingxi marry someone willingly?" the young man asked in a deep voice.

The old shopkeeper was stunned on the spot, and even his breathing became a little short.

It's so hot!This is going to be a big deal!This kid probably has a lot to do with Miss Lingxi!It's actually called Lingxi directly, the key is that it's so smooth...

The old man's thoughts were spinning, and seeing the other party staring at him, he said in a panic: "Um, oh! You said the Patriarch, it is Master Zhong Rui!"

Upon hearing this answer, Yi Xifeng shrank his eyes, then turned around and left the booth.

The old shopkeeper, who was still on the spot, came back to his senses after a few breaths. He rushed to Yi Xifeng and shouted: "Wait, wait!"

The movement here successfully attracted the attention of other people, and even the guards who were hiding in the dark came over here.

Yi Xifeng found helplessly that he had already blocked the way not far in front of him, so he had to stop and wait for the old man behind him to chase him.

"Huh! Huh! Huh! How do you just leave?" The old man finally ran over, but obviously he was out of breath because he ran too fast.

"Oh? You sold me the Yangshen fruit and Zhu fruit for 900 taels?" The young man in a moon-white Taoist robe asked calmly, but he didn't lower his voice so that the surrounding guards who were watching the movement could hear it. .

The old man nodded, and continued: "Ah, of course!"

"Then before entering the arena, I have already paid nearly 1000 taels of silver. Do you know how to deduct the fee?" Yi Xifeng asked without waiting for the other party to say anything.

Regarding the deduction mechanism of the entrance fee, the Ruilingbao Pavilion is relatively advanced. Whenever customers come to the booth, they will register there with internal energy, and their entrance tickets (that is, buy them for 1000 taels) The one) also retains their own inner strength.

When they finally left, everyone handed back the admission tickets, and Treasure House would check with everyone again based on the buyer information left in the store.

"It's all registered, no problem." The old man said pitifully.

Yi Xifeng tilted his head, and asked in a cold voice: "In that case, do you have anything else to do with me?"

The old man suddenly became a little stuttering, "This, it's between you and the head of the family...that, between you..."

Looking at the way the other party scratches his head, he naturally understands the pain of being aroused by the soul of gossip. The desire to be strongly satisfied can only be satisfied by more gossip. Presumably this is why many middle-aged women like to listen to gossip and understand gossip. important reason.

After all, the old saying goes! "The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking and what is more than it is damaged!"

But Yi Xifeng would not satisfy the old shopkeeper's desire to seek gossip, he didn't look at the other party, turned around and left here resolutely, and walked to the third floor.Before leaving, he whispered to the other party: "You haven't said anything to me, and I don't know the relationship between it. You just miscalculated and came here to give me some change."

The old man looked at the back of the young man Xiaodao leaving, and he naturally understood the warning meaning of the other party's words just now, and at the same time, he was more and more looking forward to the development of the follow-up matter.

…………Dividing line…………

In the empty room located on the sixth floor of Ruilingbao Pavilion, Xiu'er was having lunch with her maid.As residents of Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom, the big families here are different from the aristocratic families in the Central Plains.Influenced by Confucianism, the aristocratic families in the Central Plains divided people or things in the world into the so-called "heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers", and even more so among people.

But the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts is different, and has always been despised by Confucianism. They are willing to associate with monsters and beasts, so naturally there is no class distinction as Confucianism said.And people in Ten Thousand Beasts also feel that the people of the Central Plains are too hypocritical and hypocritical. These monsters grew up with their masters and are more reliable than the most reliable companions. Why can't they be with them?
Naturally, the aristocratic families of the Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom did not agree with the master-servant class of the Central Plains aristocratic family.In their consciousness, dining with servants can not only bring mutual trust closer, but also be safe.

After all, they heard that many aristocratic families in the Central Plains died because their servants were bribed and poisoned.In their opinion, this is really stupid and ridiculous enough.

At this time, a strong man dressed as the head of the guard reported outside the door.

Xiu'er pushed the food box in front of her, wiped her mouth with the wet handkerchief on the table, and said, "Come in!"

The burly man pushed the door open and entered, after a few steps, he knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands and said, "Report to the master, the young Taoist priest who is being followed has information to report."

Xiu'er, who was dressed as a girl in front of her, frowned slightly, but from his scattered eyebrows, it could be seen that although she was dressed like a girl, her manner of speaking was already close to that of a young woman.

"Speak directly!"

"The little Taoist priest walked around the first and second floors for less than half an hour, and then after entering the third floor, he started to make big purchases."

When Xiu'er heard this, her originally frowning brows relaxed a little, and she said lightly: "It's good to make big purchases, what's wrong?"

The burly man raised his head slightly, but he didn't see the girl's cheek, he could only vaguely see the pair of long, slender and round legs from under the table!
Taking advantage of the emptiness of the other party's question, he only dared to take a quick glance from the corner of his eye, and then replied honestly: "The main thing is that he bought things on credit!"

"What? On credit?" Xiu'er's eyes widened after hearing this.

The brawny man obviously knew the little ancestor's temper, and immediately explained: "From the third floor up, we all set up auction rooms of different sizes. This brat didn't pay on credit at ordinary booths, but kept raising prices. Then start all the auction items he is optimistic about at a very high price."

Speaking of this, the girl also understood the other party's routine. After all, auctions are different from selling from stalls.The booths on each floor belong to one-hand payment and one-hand delivery, while the auction is to bid first, and then the real gold and silver delivery will be carried out after leaving the venue.After all, all the customers who come to this auction have paid the entrance fee, and no one is so stupid as to intentionally amuse Zhong's House, so it is rare that the auction price is too high and the final delivery cannot be made.

"What did he buy?" the maid on the side suddenly interrupted and asked.

The steward of the guard took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, the ink on it was still fresh.

Xiu'er took the yellow paper from the servant girl, scanned the contents, and found that the young man bought a lot of medicinal materials and some refining materials, and there were several barrels of good quality Western Regions in the list. wine!
"It's interesting. Why do you think brother Rui pays attention to this kind of person?" She looked at the amount on the paper and found that the cost was about 3000 taels.Then he asked the kneeling strong man again, "How much did he pay for these things?"

"Back and back, it adds up to 1 taels!"

Hearing this number, the girl made a judgment in her heart. If something worth 3000 taels can be sold for 5000 taels after an auction, the auction house will make a profit.You must know that this business is actually not easy to do. It doesn’t mean that as long as something is good, it will be sold. There are many good things that have to be sold because of the price.

However, something like Yi Xifeng, which cost only more than 3000 taels, was sold for a high price of 1 taels. It was not an auction item, but a list of items, and finally chose the form of credit.

Then nine times out of ten this person is deliberately finding fault.

Xiu'er nodded, and ordered in a low voice: "Let someone check it out, who is this little Taoist priest on the first and second floors is the closest to?"

Then she looked up at the leader of the guards, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, our Ruilingbao Pavilion can still afford the 3000 taels, so let's agree to his credit first. Besides, the more I treat this person, I'm getting more and more curious, wait for him to go up to the fifth floor, make arrangements, I want to meet him."

The strong man also led away, leaving only Xiu'er in the hall.She stood up from the seat, raised her hand and stretched her waist, a proud curve appeared in the girl's hip and waist position!She walked slowly to the window and looked towards the street to the south.

Ruilingbao Pavilion is located in the center of Nanshi Street, South District of Xuanwu City. From here, she can clearly see the city wall on the south side and the dense forest outside the city.

"Brother Zhong, Xiu'er will definitely handle the matter you entrusted to me. You should also think about Xiu'er in Luo Yunguo!"
