299: Old things from the past, murder case in the uncle's house
Zuo Chongming worked in a studio in his last life. Although he was not mainly engaged in business, many things remained the same. How could he not understand the routine?
Furthermore, ever since First Fragrant Ming was reused by Lu Weiguang for his suggestions, she has tasted the benefits and submitted plans every two days.
The contents of these planning projects are all suggestions made by the Wives Union in real life by professionals based on "Homeward Bound".
Including but not limited to water conservancy, civil engineering, infrastructure, commerce, etc...
Even if Zuo Chongming doesn't understand the details, he will understand them after reading the plan.
Of course, most of the plans for First Fragrant Tea were rejected, and only a small part was included in the development plan.
After all, reality and Homecoming are completely different. She views the development of Homecoming from a realistic perspective, which is destined to make her plan unsuitable.
Li Xian'er looked ugly: "According to Master Hou, if we want to do business, we have to pay an agency fee? Are the agency fees for each item independent?"
"Of course."
Zuo Chongming answered confidently and matter-of-factly.
Bai Wanling frowned: "But as far as we know, there are already many merchants in Xiyun Mansion who have sold their goods elsewhere. You can confiscate their money."
Zuo Chongming sneered: "They are just doing it in a small way. After all the hard work, it is just hard-earned money at best."
"You are different. You all use spiritual rings to load the goods and then load them into flying boats for transportation. The difference is huge."
To put it bluntly, even if it is a large caravan, it can only transport a few trucks of goods in one trip, but it still has to worry about bandits robbing the road and demon attacks...
But for someone as wealthy as Snow Dragon Valley, the goods contained in one high-quality spiritual ring are worth several cars. How much space does this thing take up?
A box can hold hundreds or thousands of spiritual rings, and a flying boat can hold at least a thousand boxes.
Even if a merchant travels for a lifetime, he can't compare to what they can do by flying.
"Forehead……"
Li Xian'er pursed her lips and said tangledly: "Master Hou, if I give you the Zhuyan Dan recipe, can the agency fee be..."
"No exemptions, no discounts, this is the rule."
Zuo Chongming shook his head and then added: "However, agents always have conveniences, that is, the larger the purchase volume, the lower the purchase price."
"Oh? How much cheaper can it be?"
Li Xianer's spirit was shaken, and she leaned forward subconsciously, revealing a deep and terrifying gap.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Even if a lipstick is a penny cheaper, once the total amount is increased, it still adds up to a huge amount of money.
"Cough~!"
Zuo Zhongming didn't squint his eyes and said evasively: "I don't know the specific number. You can talk to Qi Shenghe. He is the honorary president of the Merchant Alliance and it is up to him to make the final decision on these matters."
Business is all about negotiation, especially a big deal like this.
It's definitely not something you and I can do over a cup of tea and a few words.
So Zuo Chongming didn't have time to chat with these people, so he just left the matter to Qi Shenghe.
It just so happened that he had just established a business alliance and needed to do something big to publicize and make his name famous. This was a perfect fit.
Anyway, the money goes round and round, and it will end up in his hands in the end.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the tip."
Li Xian'er took a deep breath and reluctantly took out a jade book from her spiritual ring: "This is the Zhuyan Danfang. I hope Mr. Hou will succeed in improving it."
We are all smart people, and since Zuo Chongming has shown them the way, they will naturally give back, and this Zhuyan Pill is a reward.
Zuo Chongming took the prescription and said with a smile: "I always keep my word. If the improvement is successful, you will always get 10% of the net profit."
"In that case, thank you very much, Lord Marquis."
Li Xianer smiled gratefully and glanced at Bian Yunqing with her beautiful eyes: "Yunqing, thank you very much for introducing the Marquis. Snow Dragon Valley can't thank you enough."
Without Bian Yunqing's relationship, it would be really difficult for them to meet Zuo Chongming.
To take a step back, even if they go through the procedures and successfully meet Zuo Chongming, they may not agree if Bian Yunqing is not here.
Therefore, both in terms of emotion and reason, Xuelong Valley owes Bian Yunqing a great favor.
Bian Yunqing smiled lightly and said modestly: "Senior, what I said is a matter of mutual benefit. Yun Qing just happened to meet it."
Li Xianer's heart moved, and she feigned anger and said, "Seniors and seniors all call me old, so you should call me sister instead."
Bian Yunqing's beautiful eyes widened and she stammered: "Ah, how can this be done? Wanling and I are called sisters, how can we still be so superior to our predecessors..."
Li Xian'er smiled and said: "I don't mind if people in martial arts don't stick to common etiquette. What do you mind?"
Bian Yunqing saw that she had already talked about this, and if he refused any more, it would be disrespectful.
Her pretty face turned red and she hummed in a low voice: "That, that...Sister Li."
"Good sister."
Li Xian'er smiled and touched her head, stood up and said, "Yun Qing, if you and Mr. Hou reunite after a long absence, I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he winked at Bai Wanling and Zuo Chongming, bowed out with Zuo Chongming, and quickly left the Champion Hou Mansion.
Nan Yuyan watched her leave and sighed slightly: "This woman is really amazing."
Zuo Chongming raised his eyebrows and asked teasingly: "Oh? Tell me, what is this powerful method?"
Nan Yuyan sighed: "Although the business has been negotiated and Zhuyan Danfang is there to reinforce it, it is only pure profit after all, and she is worried about it."
"It just so happens that Fairy Bian and Bai Wanling have a good relationship, and Li Xianer knows that you and Fairy Bian are old friends and have a good relationship."
"So, Li Xian'er deliberately showed her kindness and wanted to use Fairy Bian's line to further consolidate this relationship. Isn't this amazing?"
"Oh, that's incredible."
Zuo Chongming smiled exaggeratedly and said: "The princess can actually give such a clear and concise analysis, I am really impressed by this."
"You are going to die."
Nan Yuyan's cheeks turned red and she glared at him shyly: "You must have noticed it a long time ago. Don't think I don't know."
Bian Yunqing lowered his head and whispered softly: "Well... I'm sorry for causing trouble to you."
Zuo Chongming played with Nan Yuyan's delicate little hands and said casually: "It doesn't matter, don't take Yu Yan's words to heart."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You have to understand that things like feelings always need to be maintained, and the best way to maintain it is to get entangled with interests."
"Li Xian'er's show of kindness to you certainly has other purposes, but she has no ill intentions. She just wants to strengthen the relationship with me."
Bian Yunqing's face turned redder and he hesitated: "I, I... have nothing to do with you. She misunderstood."
"Does it matter whether there is a misunderstanding or not?"
Zuo Chongming smiled calmly: "The misunderstanding in your mouth has allowed Xuanjian Martial Arts School to obtain a rich and stable income channel."
"you're right."
Bian Yunqing covered up the sadness in his eyes and nodded with mixed emotions.
After relinquishing her position as the sect leader, she entered the human world again and understood many things in the process.
Because of this, she admired Zuo Chongming even more.
Looking back on every bit of contact he had with him, Bian Yunqing had to admit that this man's understanding of human nature was too thorough.
Bian Yunqing asked curiously: "By the way, when we first came here, we saw Master Lu and the others walking in a hurry. Did something happen?"
"nothing."
Zuo Chongming smiled and said lightly: "There is a murder case in Guiyi Bo's Mansion. It is suspected that a demon is responsible. Mr. Lu is a little nervous."
Bian Yunqing was shocked: "Uncle Gui Yi? Earl?"
"Um."
Zuo Chongming nodded: "A hundred years ago, the Blood River Palace was so bold that it secretly intercepted and killed the imperial officials, and Li Daitao was killed, causing harm to the village..."
"Uncle Gui Yi's ancestors seemed to have a hard conscience, and later they rebelled against the Blood River Palace and reported the matter to the capital..."
"The late emperor was furious and sent the Zhenfu Division to investigate the matter, and then uprooted the Blood River Palace and annihilated the three clans."
"Later, the late emperor greatly rewarded the whistleblower, giving him the title of Guiyi, making him a hereditary earl, and enjoying a salary of the seventh rank."
Bian Yunqing was a little confused: "The Earl is only one level lower than the Marquis, why is he only the seventh rank?"
Nan Yuyan explained: "It is an honor to be returned to Yibo, but he does not have any real power. He is not a Zhenfusi or a civil and military official. He is already in the seventh rank, which is pretty good."
Zuo Chongming said: "No matter what, he is an earl conferred by the late emperor. It is related to the court's reputation, so we must investigate and get to the bottom of it."
He really didn't know much about this matter.
But he didn't panic, he would investigate if he could, and if he couldn't, he would create the truth.
Anyway, there are many demons under the command of the Red Sea Demon King, so I can just let that guy send a demon to take the blame some other time.
"So that's it."
Bian Yunqing understood that daring to have sex was related to the court's reputation. No wonder Mr. Lu and the others looked gloomy.
"It's rare that I have free time, so let's get this matter done first."
Zuo Chongming raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, then stood up and walked outside: "If you have nothing important to do, Fairy Bian, you can rest here for as long as you like."
The person who spoke didn't think much about it, but the person who heard this couldn't help but have distracting thoughts.
Nan Yuyan's eyes widened, and when she looked at Bian Yunqing again, her little face was full of vigilance.
Originally, Bian Yunqing didn't think much about it, but when Nan Yuyan's reaction came to her, she was a little confused and couldn't help but blush.
Good guy, Nan Yuyan took one look at her shy posture and ignored the speculation in her heart, puffing up her cheeks angrily.
"Forehead……"
Bian Yunqing hurriedly waved his hands and explained in a hushed tone: "Well, princess, please don't misunderstand. This is just a momentary loss of speech by the Marquis."
Nan Yuyan's face fell and she sighed: "Sister, you don't need to explain. I have heard the rumors before... I have been mentally prepared for this."
Bian Yunqing's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but think of the scene where she was on the city wall, and the scene where she was seen leaving the Hou Mansion early in the morning.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lower her head, wanting to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
If something had really happened between her and Zuo Zhongming, it would have been nothing more.
But here's the problem.
She is obviously innocent of Zuo Chongming, even more innocent than Xiao Baihua!
Why, no one believes it?
"well……"
Bian Yunqing sighed and gave up struggling.
She finally understood that there was no way to explain this kind of thing, and the more she explained, the more obvious it became.
Because what people want is gossip, which is never the so-called truth.
