Seeing the person coming, Uncle Cui's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal, but did not mention the topic just now.
Bai Muzhi pursed her lips slightly. Over the past six months, she had clearly felt that Brother Cui was a little distant from her.
Several times she wanted to ask, but she was distracted. Just like now, she clearly heard him but he refused to say anything.
Not only that, he always wanted to separate her and Xiao Yinhan intentionally or unintentionally, as if... he was no longer on her side.
"I came to see you," Bai Muzhi quickly retracted the formalities and said calmly, "By the way, I want to say goodbye to you."
"Farewell?" Cui Shuwang was surprised, with a hint of joy in his tone that he was not aware of: "Where are you going?"
"...A good friend of mine's birthday is next month, and I'm going to attend his birthday party."
In the study room, after hearing Bai Muzhi's answer, Cui Shuwang subconsciously glanced at the man behind the desk: "That's it, then please pay attention to your safety. If necessary, I can arrange for a good bodyguard to protect you..."
However, before "you" could finish speaking, the man who looked as if there was no one around him suddenly said, "I'll go with you."
There was a moment of silence in the room, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on——
Cui Shuwang was the first to call out: "You want to go?"
Xiao Yinhan raised his eyes, and his handsome face became more and more stern with the pressure of a noble man from Tianhuang: "Why, can't you do it?"
Cui Shuwang wanted to curse: They are going to attend a birthday party, why are you going there? Do you know him?
But Xiao Yinhan didn't look at him, his eyes as deep as the abyss looked directly at the girl in white next to him.
Being stared at by him like this, Bai Muzhi blushed inexplicably.
The man who used to have the most irritable and unruly personality has changed a lot in the past six months, and his temperament has become more and more unfathomable.
But after he changed his attitude, she didn't know how to get along with him.
In other words... what she was used to was the Xiao Yinhan who was so close to her that she could hurt him and stab him without any scruples; but when he took a step back and became distant and polite, she felt melancholy and lost.
There is an inexplicable shyness in my heart.
Bai Muzhi didn't know how to describe such a change, but she vaguely knew that if he had always been so mature and steady, she, she wouldn't be able to resist.
"Okay," she quickly suppressed the inexplicable throbbing in her heart, and tried to say to him in a normal tone: "If you want to go together, my friend is the most generous and straightforward character, so he won't mind."
Eunuch Liu next to him moved his mouth. He wanted to remind Miss Bai: His prince is Prince Rong! If he is willing to come to visit, no matter whose family he is, he should be grateful and prosperous.
What Miss Bai said is really...
Eunuch Liu pursed his lips and lowered his head, "Forget it, the prince doesn't care, no one else dares to talk."
but……
Eunuch Liu thought, in fact, he also felt that the prince looked nothing like him at all...
"No, what's the matter with you? Don't tell me what birthday party you really want to go to with her?"
As soon as Bai Muzhi walked away, Cui Shuwang couldn't help it anymore: "No, are you sick? Uh..."
The man just raised his eyes, and the cold and gloomy gaze instantly made him feel like a chicken being stuck in the neck, his back felt cold, and he couldn't continue to say any wanton words.
"It's not because of her. The Metropolitan Procuratorate sent a memorial. It may involve fraud in the Criminal Department. My father sent me to investigate secretly."
Xiao Yinhan withdrew his intimidating gaze and threw a memorial directly in front of Cui Shuwang.
Cui Shuwang suppressed his surprise, raised his eyebrows slightly, then picked up the booklet in front of him and read through it.
"Wanping County government-controlled killings were misjudged..." Cui Shuwang read the excerpt at a glance: "It's true."
He looked up at Xiao Yinhan: "So, are you planning to leave Beijing in the name of Sister Bai?"
An inexplicable and sinister smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yinhan's mouth: "Otherwise? What do you think it is?"
"I thought……"
I thought you were crazy.
Cui Shuwang complained secretly in his heart, but looking at the increasingly perverted man in front of him, he finally endured these words.
After being silent for a while, he finally plucked up the courage to speak: "No matter what, I still hope that for the sake of being my childhood sweetheart for so many years...if you don't mean it, don't bring her in. After all, she is the one we watched grow up.
Little sister."
The last sentence carries a somewhat unspeakable sense of powerlessness.
As the person who knew Xiao Yinhan best, Cui Shuwang realized before anyone else that something was wrong with his attitude towards Sister Bai.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Especially in the past two months, his behavior has gone beyond that.
He tried to persuade her several times, both overtly and secretly, but he ignored her.
He had no choice but to try to hint to Bai Muzhi.
Unexpectedly, she who used to be the most repulsive to Xiao Yinhan, her attitude became ambiguous at some point, as if she suddenly discovered...
The more Cui Shuwang thought about it, the more headache he got. He wanted to take the person out and beat him up as he did when he was a child. If he won, he would make him obey!
Looking at the man in front of him, he obviously still had the same face, but he felt that they were far apart without realizing it.
Perhaps, he learned from the widower that there was something wrong with the corpse. After he became seriously ill, he changed.
"You are dismissed."
In the end, Xiao Yinhan didn't respond to his words, and he didn't know whether he listened or not, so he just drove them away.
"You really are."
Cui Shuwang grinded his teeth and finally decided to help others to the end. He really couldn't trust these two people: "Forget it, I'm going to ask for leave. When you leave, I want to come with you."
Xiao Yinhan paused in lifting the pen, then said "It's up to you" and ignored him.
Cui Shuwang breathed a sigh of relief. If he refused... he would really be afraid.
Although he has no abilities, if you can catch him at the critical moment, it should be... no problem?
He walked out, the smile on his face relaxed a little, but he soon froze and looked back at the closed door——
its not right!
If he is really allowed to leave Beijing in the name of Sister Bai, wouldn't the rumor-ridden relationship between the two be confirmed?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course this shameless man doesn’t matter, but Sister Bai’s reputation...?
Cui Shuwang subconsciously wanted to go in: "No, Xiao Yinhan, are you a human? You..."
"General Zhonglang, please stay!"
Cui Shuwang was stopped at the door of the study by the guards.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll be cruel to you!"
Then he turned around and left quickly. No, he had to stop Sister Bai.
As long as she doesn't agree, Xiao Yinhan can't take advantage of her, right?
She should... refuse, right??
In the room, the man who was reviewing the memorial had already stopped.
His eyes were dim and unclear. Under the memorial in his hand, there was a map.
If Jiang Tang were here, she would find that "Wanping County" circled with cinnabar pen on the map is only one county away from "Huai'an Prefecture" where she is...
-
"...Master, those grain merchants have surrendered and begged for mercy. They are willing to sell the grain in their hands at the price you set."
The shopkeeper bent down and spoke respectfully.
In front of him, a girl in gorgeous clothes looked at the tea cup in her hand as if she hadn't heard anything.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to urge him, he just stood more respectfully.
Jiangnan is the hometown of rice and grain, with abundant grain yield per acre.
Half a month ago, the owner of his family, who had never shown his face, suddenly came and asked them to raise food as soon as possible. The quantity was very huge, and the price was much higher than the market price.
The only requirement is that the grain merchant deliver the grain to her designated location.
It was originally a good and mutually beneficial business, but who would have thought that a local wealthy family had bad intentions (in other words, it was the rich man from that family who took a fancy to the master's beauty and was so amazed that he wanted to take her as a concubine).
Taking advantage of his relationships with his subordinates to maliciously make things difficult for him.
Some grain merchants who had already negotiated prices suddenly turned their backs on shipments.
The scheduled merchant ships were also forced to stop because they had no cargo and could not leave on time.
Not only did the owner want to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, but the local grain merchants also joined forces to raise the price. It was a clear intention to bully others.
The master initially wanted to resolve the matter properly and wanted to meet with the person involved to discuss it again.
Who would have known that it was indeed the dude from that family who came that day, and he tried to take action.
Although he was stopped by the master's men, the two parties were completely at odds.
Their subordinates were very angry, but they didn't know how to persuade them.
Although the master is rich, the family is indeed powerful in the local area. After all, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
When everyone at the shopkeeper tried to persuade the master to change places to avoid the sharp edge, things suddenly took a turn for the better——
The dandy who was in trouble with his master was suddenly found guilty of kidnapping, torturing and killing a good girl, and was taken into custody by the government.
His family's local business began to encounter accidents one after another and was raided by the government.
There was also the most powerful grain merchant who helped him. His granary was completely burned down, and he lost everything in just one night...
All the deeds happened so quickly that when they realized what they were doing, the colluding grain merchants were all dumbfounded, and then they realized that they had offended the wrong person.
Who would have thought that a mere woman could have a career in the government!
A family that has been entrenched for several generations was almost wiped out!
Then wouldn’t it mean that people like them who run small businesses would be finished?
On the one hand, the grain merchants gathered to scold her for not practicing martial ethics and discussed how to fight against her; on the other hand, they quickly knelt down to show their kindness and beg for mercy.
As of today, almost all the grain merchants have been here. The next step depends on the attitude of the master.
Thinking of those guys who were arrogant at first and polite at the other, thinking about how they kept stuffing money into him and begging him to put in good words, the shopkeeper's chest puffed up.
For the first time, I felt the feeling of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
It feels so good to be with a great master!
During these days, the loyalty of the subordinates to their master has been visibly improved.
"knew."
After a while, a beautiful and sweet female voice sounded in the room. Even though the shopkeeper was as old as him and thought he had a lot of experience, his scalp felt numb every time he heard his master speak.
The woman——Jiang Tang opened her mouth and mentioned the names of two people: "...As I said before, let's start with them."
To say "start" is actually more appropriate to "operate".
Jiang Tang came to Jiangnan to buy food, and she was speechless when she encountered these things.
Unfortunately, there are always some idiots in the world who won't understand you when you talk so loudly and angrily. They will think you are easy to bully and want to be beaten with a stick, so they cry for father and mother and beg you to spare them.
What can Jiang Tang do? She is also helpless, okay?
Since it was their own "request", of course she would...satisfy them.
And the name she just mentioned was the thorn she wanted to deal with from the beginning.
Kill the chicken that stirs up trouble, and others will be more obedient.
As Jiang Tang thought, when she did this, those people were quickly frightened, and they "negotiated business" much faster, and even automatically lowered the price to a bit lower than the market price without her having to say anything.
What, you said there is no money to be made? Why should the price be lowered?
First take a look at the big bosses of the Zhang family and the He family who are still in prison!
If only Boss Jiang would let them go, who would dare to continue to take advantage of her!
She is obviously a woman, how can she act so cruelly?
She said it was cruel, but everyone knew that if they hadn't bullied the weak and feared the strong and united to help the second son of the Lin family bully her, they wouldn't have fallen into this state.
I can only say... You should not be judged by appearance. A woman who dares to spend so much money to buy food is destined to have someone behind her!
They are the ones who are stupid and deserve to be in trouble even though they can't make any money!
Jiang Tang probably knows what those people think about him, which is nothing more than "there is someone behind the scenes", "hidden secrets", "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" and so on.
But she didn't care, just let them misunderstand.
In fact, she did use some connections to deal with these dishonest grain merchants.
However, this "relationship" is different from what outsiders think.
Half a year ago, as soon as she arrived in Huai'an Mansion, she directly used the name "Boss Jiang" to spend money to clear the way.
By spending money lavishly, he gained a reputation in the local area.
In a short period of time, the locals knew that there was a "Boss of the Living Wealth God Jiang" who spent money like water in Huai'an Prefecture.
As long as "he" is happy, he is willing to spend money, and she bought a whole street in Huai'an Mansion.
When the news came out, everyone was shocked.
And compared with what she did later, this can only be regarded as a trivial matter——
Because he "liked" the courtesan from Huai'an Mansion, Boss Jiang spent one hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem her life!
When attending a local auction, because I disliked the customer next door, I spent 200,000 taels to become a "distinguished customer", and the auction house kicked that customer out.
Not to mention that he spent a lot of money at the auction house and kept raising the price, making "his" name known to the entire wealthy circle of Huai'an Prefecture overnight.
Because she found it interesting, she was able to spend money to turn a woman with a birthmark into a "peerless beauty" - she completed the magical operation of "turning a deer into a horse" with money.
From the moment he appeared in Huai'an Mansion, all of Boss Jiang's actions have been high-profile and absurd.
While being ridiculous, she was doing good deeds for the country and the people - such as taking the initiative to spend money to collect grain, donating grain to the official warehouse in Huai'an Prefecture, and also donating grain to charity warehouses in surrounding towns for free.
This move even attracted the attention of the government, but because there were too many "outrageous" things before, and these things were considered political achievements for local officials, they were treated lightly.
Little did she know that she had spent so much time just to prepare the ground for what she was doing now——
