1212 Closing
Ding Ning glanced at Bai Lian'er with a strange expression, and then at the confused Leopard Girl. A look of surprise flashed across her face, and many doubts in her heart were solved.
No wonder the name of the shop here is Niannujiao, and no wonder the slave-catching team went to the wilderness to capture slaves, and by chance, the Leopard Girl was captured.
Since the owner of Nian Nujiao is Bai Lian'er, everything makes sense, because she must have heard the name Nian Nujiao from Xun'er.
Bai Lian'er and Bai Xun'er both belong to the main branch of Medusa. They have lived in the wilderness for a long time and are very familiar with it. It is not surprising that they would send a slave-catching team to the wilderness to capture slaves.
Ding Ning is also familiar with her. She is Xun'er's cousin. The relationship between the sisters is very good. Xun'er even asked him for the transformation pill she needed to transform.
Bai Lian'er often went to the Marshal's Mansion to visit Xun'er, and occasionally stayed for two days. She and Xun'er talked about almost everything. When she saw Ding Ning, she would timidly call him brother-in-law.
The little girl is pretty, has a sweet mouth, and is very well-behaved and sensible. Everyone in the Marshal's Mansion likes her. She is probably the only one in the Ten Thousand Demon Leaders who can enter and leave the Marshal's Mansion at will without reporting.
Ding Ning always regarded this well-behaved and sensible sister-in-law as her own sister and loved her very much. Xun'er even joked that he should take Lian'er in as well.
But he never thought that Nian Nujiao would be Bai Lian'er's property, which suddenly made him feel that this familiar sister-in-law had become a stranger.
"Is this your industry or the family's industry?"
Ding Ning asked, because there is a big difference between them.
If it is Bai Lian'er's private property, then she has hidden it too deeply, and he will have to consider how to get along with her in the future; but if it is the clan's property, then there are many things involved, and the Medusa clan
There are so many people who refuse to send, why do we have to let this little girl who is closest to Bai Xun'er be in charge of the slave trade?
"It's my private property."
Bai Lian'er was a little in awe of Ding Ning. She pursed her lips and answered honestly.
Ding Ning's heart sank. He would rather the Medusa clan wanted to exploit her relationship with Xun'er for profit than this sister-in-law doing this kind of business. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you short of money?"
"No...no shortage."
Bai Lian'er looked at him seriously and felt very uneasy. She drooped her head and answered like a mosquito.
“Why do you do this if you don’t lack money?”
Ding Ning asked with a serious face, the majesty cultivated by being in a high position for a long time came to his face like a substance.
Bai Lian'er bit her lower lip tightly, her big watery eyes twinkling with guilt, avoiding his scrutinizing gaze, and muttered: "It's fun."
"Fun? You...you, you..."
Ding Ning almost laughed out loud, pointing her finger at her, but she didn't say anything for a long time.
Although he regarded Bai Lian'er as his sister, after all, she was his sister-in-law and not his real sister. To put it seriously, it was not good, but to put it lightly, she did not take it seriously, leaving him in a dilemma.
"Brother-in-law, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry. If you get too angry, my sister will feel bad again."
Bai Lian'er raised her head and said anxiously.
She knew Ding Ning's character very well and knew how doting he was on his sister. These words seemed to worry him about getting angry, but in fact they were pulling his sister out as a shield.
Sure enough, after hearing her mention Xun'er, Ding Ning took a few deep breaths and quickly regained his composure. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Tell me, when did it happen? Does your sister know?"
"My sister doesn't know, and I didn't dare to tell her. Not long after the clan moved to Ten Thousand Demons City, I happened to see this business being transferred to other parties. The price was not high, so I took it over. The staff are all ready-made. Usually,
I don’t care much either.”
Bai Lian'er lowered her head, stood on tiptoe with her right toe and drew circles on the ground nervously, and replied softly.
Ding Ning frowned and his mind was racing, analyzing how credible what she said was.
After the Winged People Alliance settled in Ten Thousand Monsters City, they carried out a major purge of power changes. Although the trading houses that had been close to the Black Tiger, Green Dragon, and White Bear tribes and provided them with military supplies during the war were not purged,
However, their right to live in the City of Ten Thousand Demons was also revoked, and they had to sell off their property at a low price.
It is not impossible for Bai Lian'er to take over the slave trade at a low price at that time, but the slave trade is not a small business. Even if it is resold at a low price, Bai Lian'er will not be able to buy it at that price.
"Where did you get so much money?"
Ding Ning continued to ask.
"I... I saved some myself and borrowed some from two friends."
Bai Lian'er said in a panic.
Ding Ning squinted his eyes, knowing that this little girl was lying, and there must be other hidden things in it.
It's just that the little girl didn't want to say it, and Ding Ning couldn't force her. He just investigated it secretly and immediately stopped dwelling on the issue: "Tell me, how should we deal with this matter today?"
"I listen to my brother-in-law. I will do whatever my brother-in-law says."
Bai Lian'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said obediently.
She was afraid that Ding Ning would get to the bottom of it and ask about the origins of the slave business. As long as he didn't hold on to this issue, losing a little money would not matter. She calculated the accounts very clearly in her heart. As long as the golden signboard of her brother-in-law is there, how much will it cost?
I can't earn it.
"Lian'er, I don't object to you doing business, but you have to remember that you have to have a bottom line as a human being. It's better not to make some unconscionable money."
Ding Ning hit her hard and saw that no matter what he said, she kept nodding her head with a well-behaved look. He knew that she wouldn't listen at all, but he couldn't vent his anger, so he had no choice but to
He shook his head and was too lazy to say anything more. He thought that he would wait until he secretly investigated and found out what was going on.
"I want to take away all the female slaves here without leaving any trace. I will pay you as much as you need."
Ding Ning waved his hand and asked Lang Yuan to pay the bill.
"Brother-in-law, how can I accept your money? No, no, you can take the people away. I won't take the money."
Bai Lian'er waved her hands anxiously, saying she was unwilling to accept the money.
Ding Ning looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "Boss Lian'er is really rich and powerful. Don't all slaves now have money?"
Bai Lian'er's heart skipped a beat, knowing that she had exposed a flaw. Ding Ning had already doubted the origin of the slaves. After all, buying so many slaves was not a small sum. She quickly smiled and said: "I mean I can't earn my brother-in-law's money.
The principal still has to be collected.”
"Okay, brother-in-law is here to sell slaves, not to take advantage of you. Besides, brother-in-law is not short of money. It's as much as you need. You don't care. You can't let the store clerk's hard work go in vain."
Ding Ning waved his hand and made the decision without any doubt.
Bai Lian'er knew that she would be wrong if she said too much, and she didn't know what kind of trouble would be caused if she continued to give in. She could only pouted and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother-in-law, for supporting me."
"Come on, I don't see Yuan Xiu anymore. Let him take him away."
Ding Ning didn't even look at Yuan Xiu, who had arrived a long time ago but was hiding in the corner and didn't dare to come forward. He pointed at Yuan Da and said something, and then pointedly turned up the volume and said: "If you walk at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts.
Ah, it’s better to accumulate more moral virtue, otherwise, you might die one day without even knowing how you died.”
"What my brother-in-law said is, do you think I have these slaves sent to the house, or do you take them away directly?"
Bai Lian'er's expression changed slightly, she glanced at Yuan Xiu, who had an ugly face, put on a smile and changed the subject.
"I'll lend you your firm's carriage and horse, and I'll take it away directly so that you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Ding Ning reached out and picked up the leopard girl, climbed onto the red furry horse, and ordered to Lang Yuan: "You leave half of the people to be responsible for escorting, and the others will go back with me first."
"Yes, handsome!"
Lang Yuan and fifty wolf guards stayed behind to escort the slaves back to their home, while the others followed Ding Ning and left.
"Brother-in-law, walk slowly!"
Bai Lian'er waved to Ding Ning with a smile on her face until his back could no longer be seen. Then she helped Lang Yuan and others load all the slaves into the carriage and send them away. The smile on her face faded and gradually turned gloomy.
"Bai Lian'er, your brother-in-law is too domineering. There are more than a hundred little beauties."
It was only then that Yuan Xiucai dared to walk out of the room and complained to Bai Lian'er dissatisfied.
"Domineering? Haha! Mr. Yuan, why don't you say this in front of my brother-in-law?"
Bai Lian'er crossed her arms in front of her chest and sneered.
Yuan Xiu rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "You think I'm stupid, I haven't lived enough yet."
"Okay, okay. If my brother-in-law doesn't bother you this time, just go home and burn some incense. Get out of here. I'll be upset when I see this coward like you."
Bai Lian'er's eyes flashed with disdain, and she waved her hands as if to ward off flies.
Yuan Xiu's face darkened and she said displeasedly: "Bai Lian'er, my deposit has been paid. Now that I haven't received the goods, should the deposit be returned to me?"
"Deposit? If it weren't for your idiots, how could things have come to this? My brother-in-law discovered that I ran a slave business. I haven't even asked you for mental damages. Damn, you still have the nerve to let me refund it.
Deposit?”
Bai Lian'er jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, pointed at Yuan Da, who was drooping his head, and cursed angrily.
"Hmph! It's something that fails more than succeeds."
Yuan Xiu also knew that he was in the wrong, so he cursed angrily at Yuan Da, turned around and took out a money bag and handed it to Bai Lian'er, saying with an apologetic smile: "Well, Bai Lian'er, it's my fault this time, I don't want the deposit either.
I'll pay another deposit, and you can arrange for someone to help me collect little slave girls again."
"No, no, no, no, you didn't hear what my brother-in-law said. If you do too many bad things, you will die. I don't dare to make this money anymore."
Bai Lian'er waved her hands repeatedly, unwilling to accept the money bag.
"Bai Lian'er, why would you open a business if you don't make money? Why don't I pay double the price?"
Yuan Xiu took out another money bag and gave it to Bai Lian'er.
Bai Lian'er showed hesitation and did not rush to take the money bag. She shook her head and said in embarrassment: "I also want to make money, but you have also seen that my brother-in-law has become suspicious of me. I am afraid that he will send someone to keep an eye on me."
Look at me, if he finds out that I am still running the business of little slave girls, he will definitely get angry."
"You, you, I think you are a fan of the authorities. He is your brother-in-law. Even if he finds out, what can he do to you? The most he can do is scold you, but he can also eat you?"
Yuan Xiu said with hatred: "To tell you the truth, I only found your firm because of your relationship with him. Otherwise, there are so many firms, why would I choose you?"
"No, although my brother-in-law can't do anything to me, I don't want to make him angry. You also know that I am the only person in the entire tribe who can talk to my brother-in-law. I don't want to ruin my reputation in my brother-in-law's mind just because of a little money.
image."
Bai Lian'er was obviously a little moved, but she rejected Yuan Xiu's proposal with great tangle.
