Chapter 925 Asking for Money

Ji Yun smiled and turned sideways to avoid receiving his courtesy, and quickly returned the courtesy respectfully: "I didn't explain my words clearly. That is my master."

"oh?"

Ji Yun turned around and helped Qin Yining walk to the side door.

The big shopkeeper also saw Qin Yining's appearance clearly, and remembered the "young woman like a fairy" described in his boss's letter some time ago. He suddenly realized it, saluted respectfully, and then lowered his voice and said, "You are a loyal and obedient dear." princess?"

Qin Yining raised his eyebrows, "Do you recognize me?"

"No, no, no, I don't know you. I just mentioned in my boss's letter a few days ago that Princess Zhongshun will arrive soon. She also told me to obey your instructions in everything. My surname is Yin, and my first name is Yin. Wu Zhi, in the future, I ask the princess to give you her orders, and I will do my best to fulfill my errands."

"Shopkeeper Yin is so polite." Qin Yining couldn't help but admire Qiu Feishan's intelligence and arrangement.

It seems that she is taking Pang Xiao's affairs seriously now. Mu Jinghu and Pang Xiao are now advancing and retreating together. Qiu Feishan will not ignore Pang Xiao's troubles for Mu Jinghu's sake, right?

However, Qiu Feishan arranged everything properly, which really saved her a lot of trouble.

Shopkeeper Yin Da respectfully invited Qin Yining in, and the group walked along the corridor to the main hall of the back house.

"Please take a seat."

"Please take a seat too."

The two sides sat down politely according to their status, Qin Yining smiled and said: "Is this life going smoothly?"

Without Qiu Feishan's instructions, shopkeeper Yin Da would only feel that Qin Yining, an outsider, had too much responsibility.

But thinking about Qin Yining's identity and Qiu Feishan's attitude, shopkeeper Yin Da has concluded that Qiu Feishan must have taken refuge in the prince. In the future, with the big tree of Prince Zhongshun, Sitong will be able to do whatever he wants.

How can ordinary people like them have any chance to contact the dignitaries from above? Now that they have this relationship, it will only do them good and no harm in the future.

Therefore, the opportunity to talk to Qin Yining now is simply too rare for him.

"Back to Princess." The shopkeeper of Yin Da said respectfully, "Thanks to you and the prince, Sitong is doing well these days, and the local branch has been developing smoothly. Although the business is not as good as that in larger towns. , but it’s not bad.”

"That's good." Qin Yining said with a smile, "The prince will come here to take up his post in a while. Our family will probably have to settle in Huichuan County for a long time. Then I'm afraid we will have to worry more about Shopkeeper Yin taking care of us. .”

"If that's the case, just give me your orders. Being so polite is really embarrassing for a villain."

Shopkeeper Yin Da couldn't help but feel that Qin Yining was polite and polite, without any hint of the arrogance of a superior. However, the princess was very polite and he was not really arrogant enough to think that he could listen to such kind words with peace of mind.

Shopkeeper Yin Da stood up, saluted sincerely, and bowed: "If anything happens to the princess and the prince, I will just give you orders from now on. I will do my best and will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded.

At this time, shopkeeper Yin had an idea flash in his mind and suddenly said: "Princess, in fact, there is still something difficult these days."

Qin Yining raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Shopkeeper Yin Da pondered for a while and then said: "That's what happened. Huichuan County is not peaceful recently, and a group of... heroes from the world of martial arts came from nowhere.

Recently, I have been visiting wealthy families in Huichuan County and surrounding areas one by one. After visiting, I borrowed money from the wealthy families on the grounds that I lacked capital to do business. You also know that they are obviously asking for money. Where is the day of return? "

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he immediately thought of Guan Dahu and his group.

"What does this group look like? How many are there? How do they behave?"

Seeing that Qin Yining asked carefully and did not mean to be perfunctory, shopkeeper Yin Da secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "There are about five or six people in that group. They haven't come to our house yet, and the number of people varies each time. That's about it. It's just that all of these good guys are talented in kung fu. When they arrive at a big family's house, they also pay attention to "courtesy first, then attack", indicating that they need money to do business, so they start to display some hard kung fu on the spot. Then they stalk and fight. Asking for money.

"In ordinary wealthy families, no one wants to get into trouble with such a difficult guy. They all think that one more thing is worse than one less thing, so they all give their money away, and some give a reward of ten taels or dozens of taels. It's just that This group of people seems to be unwilling to give in, and some rewards are not what they want, so they go back to others."

Qin Yining nodded and said, "So you are a little worried that they will come to Sitong No. to ask for money?"

Shopkeeper Yin Da nodded and sighed: "No. As you know, our Sitonghao tree attracts trouble. I'm afraid that I won't be able to send these people away with dozens of taels of silver. I'm afraid that it will cause trouble."

At this point, Shopkeeper Yin smiled shyly and said, "The prince must have a lot of soldiers around him. If there is anything, please ask the princess to take care of him."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded: "This is natural. The relationship between me and Boss Qiu is there. If she is away, I will naturally take care of Sitong."

Shopkeeper Yin Da suddenly felt a sense of superiority, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Princess."

The two chatted happily for a while, and suddenly a young boy in front of them spoke back, speaking as fast as pouring beans.

"Big shopkeeper, there are a few people who came in front of me. They didn't mention what business they were doing or buying anything, but they came to see you. When I looked at them, they looked like something happened in Huichuan County recently. The famous group of 'heroes'."

The little boy looked a little panicked. After all, they were all ordinary traders. They just wanted to earn a living in peace and security, and really didn't want to get into trouble.

Shopkeeper Yin looked at Qin Yining, "Princess, look..."

Qin Yining thought for a moment and said, "Go and meet them and see what they want. You can also follow the example of other local big businessmen and send away ten taels first. If you can handle it, that's it. If they don't agree, you can come again." ask me."

"Hey!" Shopkeeper Yin Da quickly agreed. With Qin Yining's instructions, he had a backbone and stepped forward quickly.

Qin Yining, Bingtang and Jiyun stayed in the main room of the back house to have tea, waiting for the news ahead.

After about two sticks of incense, shopkeeper Yin came back wiping his sweat.

"Princess, the villain gave them fifty taels, but they still felt dissatisfied. They said they wanted to do a big business and if they could get investment, they could buy shares. The villain then said that he was just a small shopkeeper and couldn't do it. Lord, they started to mess around and insisted on meeting the owner of our Sitong Hao. They also said that the Sitong Hao family has a great business and they don’t want their business to be ruined. "

Sweat slipped down from his forehead again, and Shopkeeper Yin quickly wiped it off with the back of his hand, "Princess, what do you think you should do about this situation?"

Qin Yining held his chin and thought for a moment, then asked: "What do the people who came here look like? Does the leader of the group have a very hoarse voice when he speaks?"

"Yes, the princess knows about him?" Shopkeeper Yin Da was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask. Then he regretted his quick words and said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just surprised."

"I understand." Qin Yining smiled.

The shopkeeper of Yin Da said: "There are five people here, all of them are tall and strong. The leader is dressed like a scribe. He has a hoarse voice and a pair of sharp eyes, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at them. Very comfortable.”

Qin Yining couldn't help but stand up and pace thoughtfully.

It seems that the people in charge of Dahu are in a hurry to prepare money.

What are they doing in a hurry to get money?

The money spent on buying officials from the Lu family was wasted, and they didn't know when Lu Zheng would be able to refund the money. They were in a hurry to get the money now, and it must have something to do with the treasure.

Qin Yining thought about it and could only think that Guan Dahu wanted to raise money so he could hire someone to rob the stone.

If it was for this, then they would need a lot of money.

After all, even if the stone used to build the imperial mausoleum is a stone, if someone dares to think of it and the court catches it, it will be a capital crime of beheading. If they want to hire someone to do such a dangerous thing, they naturally have to spend a lot of money, otherwise who would dare to go through life and death with them?

After figuring out this key, a plan gradually took shape in Qin Yining's mind.

Seeing Qin Yining's silence, Shopkeeper Yin asked hesitantly: "Princess, what do you think about this..."

Qin Yining thought for a while and said: "I already have a solution for this matter. Go and tell them that at this time tomorrow, let them come here and tell them that Boss Qiu of the Sitong will meet them in person."

"Princess? Boss Qiu, she..."

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Just say that. I have my own concerns. If they still refuse to leave, just tell them that our Sitong No. 1 business is available everywhere, and our shops will not He grew legs and ran away. If they want to invest in business, they will naturally need a large amount of money, and they can only achieve results by negotiating with the owner. You are just a shopkeeper, and you don't have the final say in the amount of money you have. "

Shopkeeper Yin Da was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He didn't expect that the princess would be such a flawless person who could tell lies.

However, since the boss said in the letter that he would obey the princess's orders, shopkeeper Yin Da was naturally happy that he didn't have to stand up for her, so he just nodded and went out to deal with it.

Not long after, the shopkeeper Yin Da came back refreshed and said: "Princess, they left. I will come back later."

"Yes." Qin Yining turned around and told Ji Yun, "Go out quietly and let Tang Xiu carefully observe whether there are any eyes around. Let's go back after the eyes are gone."

"Yes." Ji Yun nodded, picked up the oil-paper umbrella standing by the wall, went to the corridor to put on his wooden clogs, and walked out quickly.

Shopkeeper Yin Da was stunned: "Princess, are you worried that those good guys haven't left?"

Qin Yining nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with being cautious."

Shopkeeper Yin Da felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead for a while.

Being stared at is not a pleasant experience. If you don't know, that's fine. Now that you have doubts, it really makes your heart arouse.
