Chapter 80 It's Not Your Turn To Talk About Rules
This year is a cold winter.

The sun after the snow did not bring much warmth to people, the city was covered with snow, a gust of wind blew, and it was bitingly cold.

People in the square market came and went in a hurry, and the small businessmen shrank their necks and hid behind the stalls, stamping their feet and rubbing their hands from time to time.

A big bearded man was pulling a cart in the cold wind, striding across the streets of Fangshi.

The cart was bulged high and covered with sackcloth, and there was a faint smell of blood and flesh emanating from it.

This bearded man was naturally Qin Ziling.

The cold wind howled, blowing head-on, icy cold, but Qin Ziling was pulling the cart, his heart was full of fire.

The day before yesterday, in the battle in the valley, he made a lot of money.Needless to say skills, elixirs and the like, he also got a total of about 3000 taels of silver and gold tickets, a baby python and an adult python.

Of course, in addition to the harvest in the valley, Qin Ziling also harvested ferocious birds and beasts worth nearly a thousand taels of silver after seven days of hunting outside Wuyang Mountain.

The flesh and bones of these ferocious birds and beasts are great supplements for martial arts practitioners. In normal times, Qin Ziling would definitely keep some of them for himself and Liu Xiaoqiang to eat and supplement, and exchange some of them for money to buy the needed medicinal herbs.

However, although the essence of the adult Eight Desolate Green Python was almost absorbed by the three copper corpses, the remaining jerky was still far more nourishing than the flesh and blood of ferocious birds and beasts for warriors of their level. Moreover, with a thick and long body of nearly 30 meters, there is a large amount of dried meat, which is enough for Qin Ziling and Liu Xiaoqiang to eat for a long time.

So taking advantage of the years ago, Qin Ziling specially transported most of the ferocious birds and beasts that were hunted this time, and prepared to sell them to Shanye Suju.

In the store, even though it was winter and there was not much business, shopkeeper Zhu still dutifully buried himself in the abacus and looked through the accounts.

It wasn't until the sound of heavy wheels rolling over the street in front of the shop reached his ears that shopkeeper Zhu subconsciously looked up.

Looking up, shopkeeper Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, he hurriedly put down what he was doing, and walked out of the counter.

"Mr. Qin, it's been a while since I saw you this time." Shopkeeper Zhu said with a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but look curiously at the cart.

"It's been quite a while, shopkeeper Zhu, how is it?" Qin Ziling asked with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Qin, very good, very good." Shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly cupped his hands, then pointed to the raised trolley, rubbed his hands together and said, "I don't know what good things Mr. Qin brought this time? "

Qin Ziling smiled and lifted the cover.

As soon as the cloth was lifted, shopkeeper Zhu's eyes widened, he took a big breath of air-conditioning, and then walked around the cart excitedly, his old face turned rosy in winter.

"Good skills, Mr. Qin, you are really good skills! These big things, especially this bloody bear, have thick skin and strong flesh, and great strength. It is said that they can pull up big trees directly if they hug them.

With one slap, a tree as thick as my thigh can be broken in the middle. Even if a strong martial artist wants to kill such a big guy, it will take a lot of effort! "The shopkeeper Zhu said while rubbing his hands, looking at Qin Ziling with involuntary awe.

Before, Qin Ziling hunted down a musk deer that ran like a cloud and couldn't even catch up with a flying arrow. It could be said that it was luck. But the white tiger with cloud patterns and the bear with blood hair in front of him are real beasts in the mountains. , If you don't have real skills, you will definitely not be able to hunt and kill them!
Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally, and then, as usual, said bluntly: "Give me a price, shopkeeper Zhu!"

"This, this, I have to think carefully. Or, why don't you wait, I'll order someone to ask my boss for instructions and I'll give you an answer." Shopkeeper Zhu said with a heartbeat when he heard the words.

"There's no need to be so troublesome. Just look at it and give us an estimate. I can trust you!" Qin Ziling said.

"That's fine, just wait a moment, I'll weigh these big guys and give you a price." Shopkeeper Zhu saw Qin Ziling say this, and his old face became more rosy and shiny.

Soon, several assistants weighed the big guy brought by Qin Ziling, and shopkeeper Zhu carefully checked the quality of the wild animal, the wound and other conditions, and then held the abacus for a long time before saying to Qin Ziling: "Mr. Qin, I can decide to give you a quotation of 1000 taels."

"Shopkeeper Zhu, 1000 taels is a huge sum. Who gave you the power to make the quotation without authorization?" Qin Ziling was about to nod when he heard the words, when a rather sharp female voice suddenly came from behind him.

Then, Qin Ziling saw a woman appearing at the door of the store.

This woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a silver embroidered skirt and jacket with a vertical collar. She had a fair face, a sharp chin, and a high-ranking attitude in her sharp eyes.

Behind the woman, a luxurious carriage was parked, with the word "Xiao" engraved on the carriage.

Shopkeeper Zhu obviously didn't know the woman who spoke, and he was a little puzzled when he saw a woman in a jacket and skirt suddenly appearing to lecture him, but when he looked past the woman and saw the luxurious carriage that stopped at the door at some time, he was surprised. He suddenly changed his face, hurriedly went forward, cupped his hands and said: "I don't know which young lady of the Xiao family you are working with, what should I call you?"

"My name is Xiao Tong, and I'm Miss Xiao Liu's maid." Seeing that shopkeeper Zhu's attitude is not bad, the woman's face softened a little.

"So it's Miss Xiaotong, in that car..." Shopkeeper Zhu asked cautiously after hearing the words, the rosy color on his face that hadn't faded away all of a sudden, even with a trace of paleness .

"It's my lady! I came here to ask you to visit my lady and report to her about the business and accounts. From now on, all the business accounts of this mountain and plain residence will be under the control of my lady."

"As a result, I saw a business of 1000 taels before I entered the door, and you actually quoted it without authorization!" Xiaotong interrupted in a blunt tone, and her pretty face tensed up again after speaking, and she seemed to be questioning.

"Ah..." Shopkeeper Zhu turned pale with shock when he heard this.

"Ah what?" Xiaotong asked with a long pretty face again.

"Miss Xiaotong, our boss has never mentioned this matter to me, can you..." Shopkeeper Zhu said with an uneasy expression on his face.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, are you out of your mind? Your boss is from our Xiao family, don't you know? Now, the eldest daughter of our Xiao family's patriarch personally came to check the accounts and take over the business, and you are the only one who can push back?" Xiao Tong reprimanded.

"I don't mean that, but there is always a procedure for everything, right?" Shopkeeper Zhu's face turned paler after hearing this, but he still bravely explained.

"Speaking of procedural rules? I still want to ask you, what's the deal with this 1000 taels of silver? With such a large amount, your boss will let you decide, but do you just ask?" Xiaotong looked sullen. questioned.

"Don't be suspicious of the employer, don't be suspicious! Since I hired shopkeeper Zhu as the shopkeeper, I must believe in his ability. Besides, even Mr. Qin trusts shopkeeper Zhu so much. Could it be that my boss doesn't trust him?" At this time, Xiao Qing walked in with Xia Yan, and said calmly.

"That's right, if shopkeeper Zhu and the customer collude with each other, then..." Seeing that it was Xiao Qing who came in, Xiao Tong showed a trace of panic at first, but soon remembered that Xiao Qing was already sunset, and even To be sent out as if it were goods, he immediately regained his composure and retorted.

"Presumptuous! What is your identity? How dare you talk to Ms. Xiao Qing like this!" Before Xiaotong finished speaking, Xia Yan, who usually seemed charming and charming, had already stepped forward, her face was as cold as ice, and her body Qi and blood surged, and a fierce and powerful aura pressed towards Xiao Tong.

Shocked by Xia Yan's aura, coupled with the fact that she was only a maid after all, Xiao Tong couldn't help turning pale with fright, and while stepping back, she looked at the carriage outside the door for help.

"Xiao Qing, Xiao Tong's words are right. Now that I'm in charge of this business, the rules must be changed." The car curtain opened, and a woman was wearing a pure white fur coat with no trace of stray hair, with delicate and fair skin, The young woman with an oval face came down.

"Miss!" Seeing Xiao Liu coming down, Xiao Tong hurriedly went up to greet her, bowed and saluted, and when she straightened up, she regained her spirit.

"Xiao Liu, before I make a formal decision, it's not your turn to intervene in my business, and it's not your turn to discuss the rules." Xiao Qing watched Xiao Liu come in, and said calmly.

"Xiao Qing, what do you mean by that? Don't you know that the family has already made a decision..." Xiao Liu showed a trace of embarrassment upon hearing this.

"Even so, it is up to me to decide whether I want to or not! Don't forget, seven years ago, I was only 16 years old, and I dared to risk my life to stay and fight the killer of the Nether Sect. After it’s over, you don’t think I’ve lost the courage to fight to the death? It’s just a question of whether I’m willing or not!
So, don't annoy me now, otherwise you won't be able to explain to your father and family! "Xiao Qing casually stroked a few strands of black hair that fell down, and interrupted lightly.

"You..." Xiao Liu's complexion changed several times, but in the end he gave Xiao Qing a helpless look, turned around angrily, got into the car and left.

Seeing this, Xiaotong hurriedly followed.

"Mr. Qin made you laugh!" After Xiao Liu left, Xiao Qing apologized.

"It's okay, it seems that Miss Xiao Qing's situation is not very good recently?" Qin Ziling waved his hands.

Xiao Qing didn't answer, just smiled noncommittally, and then said: "Mr. Qin really gained a lot this time! It's a pity that we can no longer cooperate in the future."

"Boss, could it be..." Shopkeeper Zhu next to him changed his expression greatly when he heard the words, and said anxiously.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Zhu. You have been working with me for many years and have been diligent and diligent. I will definitely arrange everything for you so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." Xiao Qing looked at shopkeeper Zhu and comforted him.

"Thank you, my boss. I know you won't treat me badly, but I'm worried about you..." Shopkeeper Zhu said.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs, it's useless." Xiao Qing interrupted with a smile.

Seeing that Xiao Qing was obviously oppressed by the family, he was able to comfort his subordinates and think about them everywhere. At this moment, Qin Ziling really admired the demeanor of the woman in front of him.

"By the way, Mr. Qin, after today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to cooperate and meet again. If you have nothing important to do, how about we have a drink in the backyard?" Xiao Qing turned to Qin Ziling and smiled.

"I'm very honored to be invited by Miss Xiao Qing!" Qin Ziling said.

"Mr. Qin is serious, please."
