The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 29 Do they dare to accept it?

Overnight, the Pei family suffered heavy losses.

Not only did an entire shopping street burn down, but even the Guangli Tong store that the Pei family was most proud of was burned down.

Although this did not shake the Pei family's family fortune, in Puzhou, the Pei family also had two commercial streets like this, and thousands of acres of fields and villages outside the city. He even had an entire caravan that circulated throughout the states.

Guanglitong was burned. Strictly speaking, only one house was lost. The gold and silver in the gold deposit room were not easy to refine, so the loss was not serious.

But the problem is that the account books and deeds in the secret room were burned on fire, triggering a serious run crisis.

Early in the morning, those people who had deposited gold and silver in Guanglitong all held deeds and blocked the door of Guanglitong Commercial House, shouting that the Pei family should pay back the money they deposited.

Pei Xingheng was so distressed that everyone in the government was sent out to clean up the ruins of Shang Street and Guangli Tong.

He didn't sleep all night. His eyes were red and his hair was disheveled. He knelt on the ground barefoot and looked at the list of losses reported. It was converted into silver, which amounted to 5 taels of silver. He was so angry that he overturned the breakfast that had just been served to him. The milk was spilled all over the floor, and the fresh meat buns rolled everywhere.

"Targeting, this is targeting, this is obviously a conspiracy against the Pei family."

Pei Xingheng was jumping up and down crazily, his head was a mess, and he was pulling his messy hair frantically, venting his strong dissatisfaction with an angry roar.

The strong smell of pine oil in the fire is enough to prove that someone deliberately set the fire. However, the Pei family has been entrenched in Puzhou for hundreds of years, has intricate roots, and has interests with the officials in Puzhou. Who else would dare to target the Pei family?

Who is it?Who is it?
"If this young master is allowed to find out the culprit, I will crush your bones and scatter your ashes at the base of my Pei family's shop."

Pei Xingheng let go of the harsh words and straightened the overturned table. He picked up the fresh meat buns that had rolled to the wall, tore off the dirty skin and ate the meat filling. Just as his mouth was full, Pei Guangshan stumbled in. He shouted:
"Young Master, something has happened. The people who have saved money are gathered around the entrance of Guanglitong, clamoring to pay! The guards of the business are almost unable to withstand it."

"A bunch of trash."

Pei Xingheng chewed the bun filling in his mouth and looked around for the shoes that he had thrown away long ago. Pei Guangshan also helped to look for them. Finally, he found two shoes behind the door and in the yard. He put on the shoes and was ready to go. Guanglitong trading name.

Before he had gone far, Chai Pei called out: "Mr. Pei, are you planning to go to Guanglitong Company like this?"

Pei Xingheng looked at himself up and down. He was indeed a little sloppy, but things were urgent right now and he didn't have time to shower and change clothes.

"I have some important things to deal with. If I don't hurry up, there will be big trouble."

Chai Pei wandered up to Pei Xingheng and said, "Mr. Chai, you will only cause big trouble if you go to the Guangli Tong store with your appearance. The owner of the store is unkempt and slovenly dressed. What do you think the people will think? How to spread the word? Then Guangli Tong What kind of situation will we face?"

The owners of the business were unkempt and sloppily dressed. What they were thinking of was not that Pei Xingheng was busy worrying about the business of the business street and stayed up all night, but that the Pei family had suffered heavy losses and was on the verge of collapse, and they were worried about the safety of the money stored in the Guangli Tong business.

For the sake of safety, they will take back all the money from the company, which will trigger a greater crisis. At that time, the whole body will be affected, and it is likely to damage the foundation of the Pei family.

Pei Xingheng figured out that only the boss of Guanglitong stood in front of them well-dressed and showed no fear in the face of danger, in order to calm the people who did not know the truth.

"Come here, please help me bathe and change clothes."

………………The sun is scorching, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and the shadows of the flowers and branches are crisscrossed.

Qin Ruizhi was playing with the knife, and the light of the knife was reflected on Liang Liang's face. A sharp blade flashed past, cutting off several branches, slashing horizontally and vertically. The knife was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

"Miss, you were right. All the people who had saved money went to the entrance of Guangli Tong to make trouble and wanted the Pei family to pay the money. There were so many people surrounding half the street that they couldn't even squeeze in..."

Qin Ruizhi stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and looked at Xiaonian with a complicated expression, "Xiaonian, are you going to watch the fun?"

Xiaonian looked stunned, as if he knew he had made a mistake, lowered his head and whispered: "I just want to get some news for the eldest lady."

There were only two of them left in the house. The eldest lady was so kind to her and gave her money and made her new clothes. She couldn't do anything else but run errands and inquire about things.

"Xiao Nian, you showed your face last night and the company's guards recognized you. If you don't want to go to jail, just stay in the house and don't go anywhere, not even home."

Although Gao Jinying was transferred back to Kyoto, he worked diligently in Puzhou for 20 years and made quite a statement. He has just left Puzhou, and the statement accumulated in the past 20 years will not fade so quickly.

As for Qin Ruizhi, she should visit Guanglitong Store now. After all, this is the safest way for her to return to Beijing.

Qin Ruizhi took out 2000 taels of silver notes and went to Laodao Blacksmith Shop in the west of the city.

They had arranged to meet here in advance.

In the blacksmith shop, Lao Dao, Lao Zhuang, Lu San and Dong Shiqi were waiting there early.

"Do you think the eldest lady will keep her promise and give us 2000 taels?" Lu San asked worriedly. Today he didn't cover his face, and when he spoke, he exposed his gaping teeth and let in a breath of cold air.

"Why doesn't she give it? We have all sacrificed our lives for him. We have offended the Pei family so much that she is not allowed to write settlement expenses so that our brothers can escape."

Lao Zhuang's hanging arm no longer hurts so much.

"Even if she doesn't give it, what can you do to him?" Lao Dao was shirtless and his upper body was covered with gauze.

"Huh? She dares not to give it?" Lao Zhuang glanced at his hanging arm and couldn't swallow his breath. "If she dares not to give it, I will go to the county government to report her, saying that they forced us to burn it. She will be sued in Pei's shopping street. Anyway, we all have our own injuries, and we will have evidence when we get to the county government."

"You went to the Yamen. I don't know if Qin Ruizhi will go to jail. We will definitely go to jail."

Lao Dao's words hurt the hearts of the other three people. The reason why they are standing here is because they all participated in the ambush at Whirlpool Ridge and they all wanted to kill Qin Ruizhi.

But, now, Qin Ruizhi is just retaliating in kind.

Dong Shiqi, who had been silent all this time, now spoke: "If she really gives it to you, do you dare to ask for it?"

These words stunned everyone.

Yes, if Qin Ruizhi really gives money, do they dare to accept it?
