The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing is still very satisfied with Zhou Qi's attitude, but she can't help but think that she still has to find a way to conceal her identity after returning. Although not everyone will check her intentionally, once someone does, her identity will be exposed. , this matter is also troublesome.

Zhou Qi was very aware of current affairs and did not mention this matter again. He sat down again and said, "In this case, can I consider that the cooperation between us has been finalized?"

"of course."

Xu Jing was not someone who liked to be muddled. She nodded immediately and said, "Next, we might as well discuss the specific method of cooperation. I'll tell you our requirements first. Do you mind, Mr. Zhou?"

Seeing Zhou Qi nod, Xu Jing said: "Although this time, we have temporarily resisted the Lin family's suppression, the Lin family does not seem to be someone who will give up easily. There will definitely be other actions next, and it is very likely that we will continue Block us on purchasing medicinal materials.

Over the years, the Zhou family must have had its own long-term cooperative medicinal material merchants. I hope that our Xinglin Hall can also share the Zhou family's medicinal material purchasing channels. "

Zhou Qi smiled softly and said: "Of course there is no problem. In fact, not only do we have long-term cooperative medicinal material merchants, we also have a caravan of our own that goes to various medicinal material production areas to purchase medicinal materials. The Lin family also has a similar caravan. .”

Xu Jing knew about this, so she never thought about defeating the Lin family in the supply of medicinal materials from the beginning. It was true that they did not have such a foundation.

Xu Jing nodded and made a second request, "Now that we are short of staff in Xinglin Hall, I need to stay in Xijing during this period and cannot go back. After cooperating with you in the future, I will only spend more time in Xijing. , I hope the Zhou family can lend us someone to at least ensure the normal operation of Xinglin Hall in Anping County.

Of course, the salary of those people will be paid by us. I am not a stingy head, and I will not treat you Zhou family members harshly. Head Zhou can rest assured. "

Zhou Qi couldn't help but laugh at her last sentence and said: "Of course there is no problem with this. I will send people back to Anping County in a moment and select a few reliable doctors."

Their Tianyi Pavilion has a very mature doctor training system. Every year, some talented children are selected from all over the country and trained together. Under normal circumstances, the doctors trained in this way will be very loyal to their Tianyi Pavilion and have guaranteed medical skills. .

This is what every mature medical clinic will do.

Cheng Xianbai, who was still banging against the wall in his heart because of Madam Xu's true identity, opened his eyes slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that the two most distressing things for them would be solved so easily.

Xu Jing said quietly: "Although I want to borrow people from Tianyi Hall, it does not mean that I will use them directly. Before they go to Xinglin Hall, they must come to me for a month of training."

Zhou Qi was startled, and Zhou Xian on the side couldn't hold it in any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, "You woman, don't be too arrogant..."

But he was stopped by Zhou Qi's cold eyes.

Zhou Qi looked at Xu Jing, smiled and asked, "Can I ask Madam Xu her intention in doing this?"

"The people you have trained in Tianyi Hall will naturally follow Tianyi Hall's style in every move they make. If I directly use them, wouldn't Xinglin Hall become the second Tianyi Hall? That's not okay."

Xu Jing said: "Although Xinglin Hall is still very weak now, it will definitely become stronger in the future. What I have to do in the early stage is to maintain the characteristics of Xinglin Hall and let others know that although Tianyi Hall and Xinglin Hall cooperate, they are Two completely different medical clinics.”

Zhou Qi couldn't help but laugh.

How could he forget that this woman is ambitious, and her ambition may not be lower than his at all.

He smiled faintly, nodded and said: "Okay, I agree to this. Does Mrs. Xu have any other requests?"

Xu Jing was also very satisfied with Zhou Qi's refreshing attitude. She smiled and said, "No more for now. It's Master Zhou's turn to tell you what you think."

"My idea is very simple. I hope Madam Xu can help me pave the way for Tianyi Pavilion to reopen in Xijing."

When Zhou Qi got down to business, the smile on his face disappeared. His originally gentle and harmless temperament suddenly became more steady, "In the past three years or so, there has never been a moment when I didn't hope that Tianyi Pavilion would return to its original state." Madam Xu may not have known something during the most glorious times in the past. The largest medical clinic in Anping County was our Tianyi Pavilion, and the first medical clinic to establish a branch in Xijing was also our Tianyi Pavilion. However, everything happened in more than three years. A few years ago, my father changed after he was killed by gangsters on his way back from Xijing."

Although Zhou Qi tried his best to bear it, Xu Jing still saw a hint of heaviness and gloom in his eyebrows.Zhou Xian next to him was completely unable to contain his emotions, and his cheeks had tightened.

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What happened to your father is not related to the Lin family, right?"

Zhou Xian raised his head in surprise and lost his voice: "How do you know?!"

Zhou Qi also looked at her with some confusion, and Xu Jing said quietly: "It's just a general inference."

Zhou Qi couldn't help but be silent for a moment, took a breath, and said: "That's right, before my father was killed, he often said that he felt like someone was following him from behind. During that time, there was also banditry in the suburbs of Xijing, so that time In Anping County, my father was very cautious and did not disclose the time and route of his return to the outside world. Only a senior official who was close to my father at the time knew.

When my father returned, he deliberately avoided the area where the banditry occurred. It should have been foolproof..."

Needless to say, Xu Jing also guessed what happened next.

She immediately said confidently: "But your father's long-term follower betrayed your Zhou family?"

Zhou Qi nodded, even if it was him, he couldn't help but clenched his teeth when talking about this matter, "We only found out later that the person who revealed Dad's whereabouts was the traitor, and later, he openly joined After joining Guangmingtang, he has now become one of Lin Chengzhao's most useful stewards! However, although Dad was most likely killed by them, we have no evidence.

Moreover, when he went to Guangmingtang, he revealed a lot of internal information about our Tianyi Pavilion to Guangmingtang, so that Guangmingtang frequently suppressed us during that period. Every time he suppressed us, it just hit our sore spots. Unable to resist. "

Otherwise, he would not have cut off his arms and reduced his size to protect himself.

It is his obsession to recreate the glory of Tianyi Pavilion, and it is also the revenge of their Zhou family.

Xu Jing looked at Zhou Qi and said: "I already understand your situation, but there is one more thing. I want to know that when your Tianyi Hall opened a branch in Xijing before Guangmingtang, there must have been a certain number of powerful people. With connections, why now..."

Zhou Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Those connections have been snatched away by Guangmingtang in the past three years or so. We ourselves have too much time to take care of ourselves and how can we have the energy to maintain those relationships.

But among them, there are still a few families who are willing to show goodwill to us. They told us in a very subtle way that the Lin family climbed a high branch in Xijing. Most people would not dare to offend that high branch, and neither would they. Therefore, They can't help our Zhou family. "

Takae?

Xu Jing glanced at Zhou Qi inquiringly, and Zhou Qi said: "Although they are unwilling to tell us who that high branch is, I have been secretly observing the Lin family during this period. If I guessed correctly, that high branch refers to The Jiang family in Xijing.”

Jiang family.

Like the Xiao family where Xiao Yi lives, it is one of the four major families in Da Chu.

The four major families of Da Chu all followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. It can be said that the people of these four families controlled more than half of the courts of Da Chu, and their status in Da Chu was extraordinary.

It’s no wonder that most people don’t dare to offend them.

Looking at Zhou Qi's helpless expression, Xu Jing smiled faintly and said: "Head Zhou's family does not need to be so depressed. Although the Jiang family is huge, there is no family in Dachu that can compare with him.

Since Mr. Zhou has placed his hope on me, I will do my best and will not let Mr. Zhou down. "

Zhou Qi couldn't help but raise his eyes and said: "Oh? Could it be that Madam Xu already has a way to deal with it?"
