Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

In the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen well-known grain merchants from the surrounding counties waited early in the exclusive private room of Zuiyun Tower, with surprise and doubt unconsciously showing on their faces.

Although Zuiyunlou entered Beiyuan County not long ago, it quickly spread to dozens of surrounding counties and counties. The business under its name has involved all walks of life, and it seems to have a tendency to become the leading business leader in the north. The owner of Zuiyunlou is a smart businessman. Their brains and methods are simply beyond their reach.

They have checked the identity of the owner in private, but they found nothing. This shows that the owner has a strong background and powerful influence, otherwise the government will not open the door. I also heard that the owner has business all over the country , if you can rely on such a big tree, not to mention the prosperity and wealth, your own business alone will continue to prosper, and even go up several steps.

It's a pity that no matter whether they delivered famous posts or visited them in person, the owner avoided seeing them.

Yesterday they received an invitation letter from Zuiyun Building by accident. Their excitement and surprise can be imagined. Except for a few people who seemed to have enlightened thoughts, the rest of the people hurriedly packed their bags. Arrived here overnight.

After drinking two pots of tea, it seemed that the time was approaching noon, but the owner never showed up. Several fiery and impatient grain merchants couldn't sit still, and they all looked at Liao Feng who was standing quietly by the side. The people shouted: "Master Liao, when will your boss arrive?"

Looking at the Jizhan Hall of grain merchants in neighboring Beiping County who spoke, Liao Feng said neither overbearing nor humble: "Please wait patiently for a while, it should be..."

"We have been waiting all morning, don't we have any patience?" Deng Zhiqiang, another grain merchant, looked dissatisfied.

Some people started, and others vented their complaints one after another.

"Although the guest can do as he pleases, but the host has not come here for a long time. Is this the way the host treats guests?"

"That's right, I rushed here overnight as soon as I received the invitation letter, but your boss left me waiting here. What's the reason?"

"Isn't it? Your boss's affairs are busy, and we are not idle people. There are still a lot of things waiting for us to go back and deal with!"

"Since your owner is so dishonest, I'll leave now!"

As soon as the words fell, the person who spoke got up and walked out first, and then someone got up and left one after another: If they hadn't been concerned about the ability and strong background of the boss, and had some unknown plans in their hearts, they would not bother to come here.

They are all prominent figures in the local area. They didn't expect to be snubbed by a newcomer who killed halfway. If word spread, what face would they have?

Liao Feng was well aware of the serious consequences if these people left, and was trying to keep them, when he saw the door of the private room suddenly opened, and there were two figures, one red and one white standing side by side, he was secretly relieved, and hurried forward Respectfully saluted: "Miss, you are back!"

Nodding slightly towards Liao Feng, Qingyun's clear eyes glanced at the people standing by the door in a daze, and the two or three people who were sitting on the chairs and stopped drinking tea when they heard the sound, and looked over, with just the right smile on their faces : "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

The crisp and ethereal voice was like the sound of nature, which made people involuntarily intoxicated. It was not until Liao Feng reminded everyone to return to their seats that they came back to their senses.

Looking at the respectful Liao Feng, and then at the man and woman who had walked to the main seat, Ji Zhantang was still handsome with the same disappointment as everyone else, but he did not hide it, while the others It is restrained and obscure.

They originally thought that the boss with such outstanding business acumen and ability, even if he wasn't magnificent and aloof, he should be a shrewd, capable and domineering peer. It was so unexpected.

But after all, Ji Zhantang still had some expectations in his heart, so he stepped forward a few steps, clasped his fists in his hands and said cautiously to Mo Xuan, "May I ask you, are you the owner of Zuiyun Tower?"

"No!" After pouring a cup of tea and handing it to Qing Yun, Mo Xuan glanced at the crowd in a blink of an eye: "Miss Yun invited you here!"

"Miss Yun?" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qingyun who was sipping tea elegantly, and the disappointment on their faces could hardly be concealed anymore.

It's not that they look down on women. You must know that today's Ninth Princess is a daughter who sacrificed her life to save the lives of tens of thousands of people in Nanyang County. Worship and support.

But after all, Princess Nine has a distinguished status and is favored by the emperor. Naturally, no one dares to say that Princess Nine does not follow the rules that a boudoir girl should have.

Since ancient times, among scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants, the status of merchants has been the lowest, but any family of some status will not allow women to trade, let alone a powerful family?

Is this Miss Yun really the owner of Zuiyun Tower?What is her identity and origin?

As if understanding the doubts in everyone's mind, Qingyun put down the teacup in his hand, and glanced at Hua Zhiyu sitting at the last seat on the left with his clear eyes. He looked exactly like the one Yu Peiyao described.

Looking at the people with different expressions, Qingyun smiled lightly and said: "It was because I didn't think carefully, I forgot to let shopkeeper Liao tell everyone that I am a friend of the owner of Zuiyunlou, and I am indeed the one who invited you here this time. Let's work together to resolve the current food shortage in the surrounding counties."

Seeing Hua Zhiyu raise his head suddenly after hearing the words, then quickly lowered his head, his eyelids drooped slightly and he couldn't see his expression clearly, there was a momentary flicker in Qingyun's fine and dark eyes.

She deliberately asked Liao Feng to invite Hua Zhiyu, who was not a grain merchant, just to see his reaction after he knew his purpose, and his behavior of trying to hide it and the white hands clenched on his knees had already revealed his nervousness. Or a guilty conscience.

It seems that Zi Yiwei's investigation is correct, he has a great relationship with this series of events.

Ji Zhantang stood up abruptly, stared at Qingyun with wide eyes, and said with anger and indignation in his loud voice, "So you are not the owner of Zuiyun Tower!"

"no!"

"It's been you, a stinky girl, who has been messing around for a long time!" Deng Zhiqiang pointed at Qingyun angrily and cursed: "How dare you tease such a reputable person like me, you stinky girl is quite courageous, look at me... ah ..."

A shrill and high-pitched scream immediately shocked the crowd who kept criticizing Qingyun, and they saw Deng Zhiqiang slumped to the ground, his thin cheeks with prominent cheekbones were pale and colorless, and his forehead was sweating profusely. Qingyun's right hand had already been neatly severed by some sharp weapon, and the spewing blood stained the ground under him red, while his right hand lay quietly not far from him.

Everyone couldn't help but gasped, and they all stood there in a daze, their lips parted slightly but they couldn't make a sound.

He took out a brocade handkerchief and slowly wiped off the blood on the soft sword, then threw the blood-stained brocade handkerchief at Deng Zhiqiang's feet, put the soft sword back on his waist, and looked down at him who was full of horror from a high position, then his icy eyes turned from everyone's faces Flying up, Mo Xuan's demonic eyes flashed with cold murderous intent: "Her surname is Yun! If I see or hear anyone who dares to be disrespectful to her again, I will destroy his entire clan!"

Standing quietly behind Qingyun, the four Situ Jingyu looked around coldly at the stunned crowd, exuding a hell-like chill from their bodies.

Walking quietly to the door, Liao Feng gave a waiter outside the door a wink, and the waiter left quickly.

The owner repeatedly told them to protect the young lady, and if the young lady made any mistakes, they would all die to pay for it!

Although everyone fights to the death for their own interests, Ji Zhantang strode up to Deng Zhiqiang's acupoints after meeting Deng Zhiqiang, then applied Jinchuang medicine to his wound, tore off the hem of his clothes and bandaged it up. Only then did he stand up and face Qingyun: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, and please ask Miss Yun to raise your hands high and spare him and his whole family!"

"I think Master Ji misunderstood!" Qing Yun's brows were as clear as water, but with an innate majesty: "He just didn't want someone to be disrespectful to me, so he punished me a little bit!" He cared, not making Deng Zhiqiang's life worse than death, he was extra merciful.

Last night, Yu Peiyao told her the biographical information, character and behavior of all the people with some reputation and ability in the surrounding counties.

Although Ji Zhantang is considered a third-class grain merchant this time, he has a bold and straightforward personality. No matter who has difficulty in getting his name, he generously donates money without asking for anything in return.

It is said that this time he took out all the grain he had stored to help the people, and even sold his property to buy food at a high price from other places to distribute to the people. His reputation is quite high.

On the contrary, Deng Zhiqiang is one of the richest businessmen in the north. It is said that at least [-]% of the rice and grain stores belong to the Deng family, which can be said to be a wealth of wealth.

However, he is acrimonious and relentless, so he is nicknamed 'Iron Rooster'.

Originally, with his wealth, although he could not compare with the delicacies of the royal dignitaries every day, he was not short of fine clothes and fine food. However, not only did he eat and clothe himself very simply, even his family members lived in simple food and drink, which was worse than that of ordinary people. .

The most important thing is that he can take advantage of others. If others take advantage of him, he will not think about food and drink for several days, and even try his best to get it back.

It is in line with his character that such a person did not take a grain of grain to help the people, and took this opportunity to drive up the price of grain and make the country suffer.

The reason why he was invited to come here was probably because he wanted to get some information from other people about how the situation was going to develop, and secondly, he wanted to wait for an opportunity to climb up the big tree of the owner of Zuiyun Tower and seek benefits from it.

"The facts are in front of us. Miss Yun first coaxed me to come here in the name of the owner of Zuiyun Tower. This son cut off Master Deng's right hand, but Miss Yun said so lightly that it was a misunderstanding. Could it be that Miss Yun is really arrogant. Do you regard my life as worthless? Or" Ji Zhantang raised his eyebrows: "Miss Yun is trying to force us to obey?"

The expressions of the rest of the people suddenly changed after hearing Ji Zhantang's words. Qiqi turned to look at Qingyun and wanted to question him, but he was afraid of Mo Xuan's previous warning and did not dare to say more.

This is the site of Zuiyunlou, and the servants and nurses they brought were all arranged by the shopkeeper Liao elsewhere. The eyes of the two men and two women were cold, and they looked like masters.

Besides, they came here to seek money, not for revenge. If they offend the owner of Zuiyun Tower, let alone they will end up in the same ruined and ruined end as those who provoked and framed Zuiyun Tower, and opposed Zuiyun Tower. Maybe it will be difficult to walk out of Zuiyun Tower alive.

Deng Zhiqiang, who had just learned his lesson, sat quietly in the corner, looking a bit desolate, he could only be blamed for his poor popularity, or else, except for Ji Zhantang, no one complained for him just now, let alone cared about his life and death.

Hua Zhiyu lowered his head from the beginning to the end, and he never raised his head even after such a bloody incident happened. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Wei Qiming, the owner of Hongmei Villa who was still sitting in his seat motionless when everyone shouted to leave, Shi Jiangping, the second of the six richest merchants in the north, and Dai Yingzong slowly sipped tea, turning a blind eye to the tense situation in front of them.

Zhao Moxuan blinked slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be angry with these people, Qingyun looked at everyone in a blink of an eye and said indifferently: "Everyone here are businessmen, and they are only looking for their own interests. As long as I can give you Bringing benefits, does it matter whether I am the owner of Zuiyunlou? In addition, I am close to the owner of Zuiyunlou. I asked the shopkeeper Liao to deliver name cards to everyone, and sincerely invite you to come and discuss important matters together. Why do you force everyone to submit to Fan Yi? But Mr. Deng has repeatedly uttered evil words and treated me so disrespectfully, isn’t it because he is dissatisfied with the owner of Zuiyun Tower?”

The words were obviously peaceful without any emotion, but they made everyone feel chills down their spines, as if they were in the vast ocean in the dark night, and they could not help but keep ups and downs with the huge waves, and if they were not careful, they would be caught by their side Invisible undercurrents and eddies engulfed.

Ji Zhantang looked at Qingyun steadfastly, but seeing her face as calm as water, exuding a noble Tsinghua temperament all over her body, he was speechless and secretly startled.

Everyone with different thoughts sat down in their seats without speaking.

For a while, there was no sound in the private room, and although the warm sunlight came in through the open windows at noon, everyone still felt cold.

Qingyun was not in a hurry, she picked up the hot tea that Mo Xuan had refilled and sipped it gracefully, with a hint of tranquility and indifference between her brows and eyes.

After a long time, Wei Qiming shook the tea cup in his hand, raised his eyes slightly to look at Qingyun and asked, "I wonder what kind of benefits Miss Yun can bring us?"

Looking sideways at Wei Qiming, who was the first on the right, Qingyun slightly raised his eyebrows.

He is about 60 years old, with sword-shaped eyebrows slanting into the temples, straight nose bridge, handsome face and ruddy complexion, and a pair of piercing eyes staring at him for a moment, giving people a kind of long-term vicissitudes and vicissitudes. Unrevealed sharpness and shrewdness.

Hongmei Villa, like Yuhua Villa, is a famous family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years, but Yuhua Villa is a martial arts family, while Hongmei Villa is a real business family, so the reputation and status have always been inferior to Yuhua Villa to a certain extent. Huashanzhuang, but the wealth is more than the six Yuhuashanzhuang. It is said that nearly [-]% of the shops in the state of Jin belong to the Wei family.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Qiming's business acumen and methods are the most outstanding among the previous generations of patriarchs, comparable to the first generation of the Wei family, but his descendants are mediocre in aptitude, except for a concubine named Wei Zhiyuan who is gifted and intelligent Wei Qiming is very pleased that he can draw inferences about everything and has unique insights. He has shown outstanding business talents at the age of seven or eight.

It's a pity that the position of the patriarch of the Wei family's ancestor training is only passed on to the descendants and not to the concubines. And when Wei Zhiyuan was ten years old, he contracted a cold and high fever one day. Qiming also gave up.

Wei Qiming came here in person today, which shows that the Wei family really has no successors.

"In the next three years, on the basis of the original tax, the court will reduce or exempt another [-]%!"

After hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Qingyun, their wide eyes were full of shock and disbelief: "Seventy percent?"

You know, they have to pay [-]% of the tax to the imperial court every year. Even if the original tax is reduced by [-]%, it is quite a huge fortune!

But. . . . . .

"The matter is very important, can Miss Yun be in charge?" Ji Zhantang asked doubtfully.

Even if the owner of Zuiyun Tower has a strong background and powerful influence, and even if Miss Yun is the life-and-death friend of that owner, but after all, it is related to the court's tax revenue, how dare Miss Yun influence the decision-making of the court?

Mo Xuan looked at his beloved in a leisurely manner, with a faint smile on his lips, and believed that there was a reason for her to do so.

And Lou Haiyang curled his lips disdainfully at everyone.

A group of guys with no eyesight, don't they know that the person in front of them is the current Nine Princesses?Not to mention another [-]% reduction or exemption, even if the tax is fully exempted, it is just a matter of the nine princesses, and they deserve to be calculated by the nine princesses so that there is no scum left!

"Since I dare to say it, I can be the master!" Seeing everyone's dubious expressions, Qingyun said meaningfully: "As long as everyone here will do their best to help me resolve the food crisis in the north and solve the problems of the people Regarding the food and clothing issue, after the situation subsides, the imperial court will definitely issue this decree; also, I believe that you have also investigated the strength of Zuiyunlou. Pay it on my behalf, what do you think about it?"

After hearing Qing Yun's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

Ji Zhantang thought for a while and confirmed again: "Miss Yun is serious?"

"Of course!"

Qingyun glanced at Zhuyue, and Zhuyue immediately asked the shopkeeper Liao who was standing at the door to fetch a pen and paper, and then put it on the table next to Qingyun. Qingyun glanced at the doubtful people, and Qingyun said loudly: "If If you don’t believe me, I can make a written proof with you, and you can go to any store under the name of Zuiyunlou with this written proof in the future, and Zuiyunlou will fulfill its promise!”

Looking at the hesitant people, Qingyun said again: "I know this is a big matter, and it's reasonable for everyone to be undecided for a while. In this way, everyone think about it carefully in Zuiyun Tower, and after three days If you are willing to assist me, I will sign the paper immediately; if you are unwilling, Zuiyun Tower will compensate you for the economic losses of the past three days, and escort you back home unscathed! How about it?"

"We naturally believe in the reputation of Zuiyunlou, but I don't know what Miss Yun is referring to by doing her best?"

Facing Wei Qiming's deep gaze calmly, there was a momentary flicker in Qingyun's bright and dark eyes.

As expected of being born into a business family, he always puts his own interests first!

"That depends on your sincerity."

"The old man would like to hear the details!" Wei Qiming had doubts on his face, but he was secretly amazed and regretful in his heart.

This Yun girl is really not simple!Not only is he quick-witted and scheming, but his words are impeccable. If it is his granddaughter, he will definitely pass on the position of head of the family to her, so there is no need to worry about the Wei family's huge family business and no successors. .

"Old Mr. Wei is a senior who has been in the business for a long time. He must have heard an old saying: plant a grain of millet in the spring, and harvest ten thousand seeds in the autumn! Today, everyone has shown how much sincerity to help the people. I believe that what you will get in the future will be the same as now. times, or even dozens of times, some things cannot be exchanged for thousands of dollars; and the current emperor is wise and wise, knowing that you have resolved this crisis, he will definitely appreciate it, and there may be surprises, old Mr. Wei Say yes?"

Wei Qiming nodded slightly: "Miss Yun is right!"

"Since Miss Yun's words have covered this point, from now on, I, Ji Zhantang, will only follow Miss Yun's orders!" Ji Zhantang said in a loud voice, "As for the written documents, I don't need them, I believe you!"

He doesn't care about rewards and surprises, anyway, he actively participates in things that are good for the people.

But if he can really reduce the tax by another [-]%, he can help some poor people more, which is a good thing.

"Master Ji is refreshing enough!" Qingyun praised sincerely: "Master Liao, please sit in the backyard for a while, Master Ji. I will have a detailed discussion with Master Ji later."

"Yes, Master Ji, please!" Liao Feng saluted Qingyun respectfully, and then guided Ji Zhantang to the backyard.

Shi Jiangping and Dai Yingzong glanced at each other quietly, and at the same time said that they were waiting for Miss Yun's orders, and also did not ask Qingyun to make a written statement, and then strode away with Ji Zhantang.

Seeing that Ji Zhantang and Shi Dai, the second of the six richest merchants, received such courteous treatment, and what Qingyun said about the unexpected joy that the current emperor would give, several grain merchants immediately offered their full assistance and accepted it. Qingyun wrote down the papers on the spot, and the waiter led them to the backyard.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, but still could not make up their minds.

Qingyun didn't urge them, and ordered the waiter in the shop to arrange for them to live in Zuiyun Tower, and to treat them well and not neglect them.

Glancing at Hua Zhiyu who was leaving with the crowd with his head down, Qingyun's eyes were as deep as an abyss, and the corner of his lips raised a sneer of a demon charm that seemed to be there.

Soon, besides Qingyun and the others in the private room, only Wei Qiming and Deng Zhiqiang who were sitting quietly in the corner were left.

Seeing Qingyun's sweeping gaze, Deng Zhiqiang's heart trembled suddenly, he stood up slightly and walked to the center, enduring the fear in his heart, with a smile uglier than crying: "Thank you, Miss Yun, for not killing me! In the future, if Miss Yun has any assignments, I will be obliged to do so."

"That's very good." Qingyun nodded.

How could Deng Zhiqiang's love for money be reversed all of a sudden?These words and deeds are probably afraid of Mo Xuan, but more of it is the idea of ​​the owner of Zuiyun Tower.

Looking at Deng Zhiqiang's back, Wei Qiming turned his eyes to Qingyun: "I can help Miss Yun with all my strength, but I have one condition."
