Tangning looked at the old beggar in shock and asked, "Did you really do this?"
Although he had been prepared in his heart, the old beggar's personal admission still refreshed his understanding of him.
Tangning thought he had a clear understanding of the old beggar's bottom line, but he didn't expect that he would prove with facts that he had no bottom line at all.
The old beggar said: "It's true that I defeated them, and it's true that I tied them to a tree, but to say that I defiled those women is pure slander. I have a bottom line as a human being..."
Whether this is slander or not is another matter for now.
The old beggar fought one against ten, and was able to defeat them and tie them to a tree. When facing the Wan Gu Sect in Guizhou Province, he alone was better than hundreds or even thousands of guards.
Tang Ning looked at the old beggar and said, "I heard that the wine in Guizhou is good..."
The two best things in the old beggar's life were fine wine and martial arts. Now he placed all his trust in martial arts on Xiao Xiao, and he still drank wine every day.
"More than good?" A look of reminiscence appeared on the old beggar's face, and he said: "When I was young, I traveled all over the world and found that no place in the world can compare with the fine wines in Guizhou - but you don't have to.
Use this to seduce me, no matter how fancy you say it, I won’t go to Guizhou.”
The old beggar brought Xiaoxiao to Chu State's tent. Tangning didn't go after him yet because of his affection as Xiaoxiao's master.
In the Tang family, he lived and ate for free, and even abducted his sister. He was also living under someone else's roof. Old Zheng knew not to eat for free and acted as his bodyguard every day to repay the favor. From this point of view, there is a big difference between the qualities of the old beggar and Old Zheng.
Far.
The most important thing is that even though he is a young master, he cannot take Tang Ning away without her permission and take her away for half a year without her consent.
Lao Zheng's daughter Nannan ran over, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "Brother Tang Ning, tell me a story."
Nannan likes to listen to stories, and she has emptied all the stories in the maid's stomach, so she often pesters Tang Ning.
There are so many stories in Tang Ning's mind, they are different every day, and they would be endless to tell in ten years.
Tang Ning asked her to sit on a small stool, glanced at the old beggar, and said, "I will tell you two stories today. One is called Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf, and the other is called The Peasant Woman and the Snake..."
"Once upon a time, there was a wolf being chased by a hunter. Mr. Dongguo saved it, but the wolf retaliated by trying to eat Mr. Dongguo..."
"A long time ago, in a cold winter, a peasant woman found a snake on the roadside. She thought it was frozen, so she put it in her arms. The snake finally woke up under the warmth of the peasant woman's body temperature. After waking up,
But the snake bit the peasant woman..."
…
After listening to the story, Nannan frowned and said: "Mr. taught us that we should repay kindness. Mr. Dongguo saved the wolf, but the wolf wanted to eat it. The peasant woman saved the snake, but the snake wanted to bite her. They didn't care at all.
I don’t know how to repay a favor..."
Tang Ning looked at her and said: "It's not just animals, some people don't know how to repay kindness. They eat, drink and live in other people's homes for free without thinking of repaying anything in return. Nannan should keep her eyes open in the future and stay away from those people...
…”
The old beggar lay lazily on the chair and said: "I am such a person who does not know how to repay kindness. What can you do to me?"
If a tree doesn't need its bark, it will surely die; if a person doesn't need its bark, it will be invincible.
The old beggar had already admitted that he was shameless, and there was nothing Tangning could do.
He glanced at the old beggar and said, "Then I will tell this story to Xiaoxiao."
"Wait a minute!" The old beggar suddenly sat up from his chair.
In the heart of the disciple, the master must always be tall and majestic, without any flaws. If his precious disciple knows that her master is a person who eats and drinks, has no face, no skin, and does not repay his kindness, he will be in her heart
The tall and majestic image will suddenly collapse.
He looked at Tangning with a stern face and said, "This is just this once. After this, our grudges will be wiped out, and I will never owe you anything again."
Tang Ning said: "Deal."
This was a deal between him and the old beggar. Tangning didn't want to talk about sentiments with this peerless master. From the beginning, he and the old beggar used each other to get what they needed. Tangning needed him to control the house, and he needed Tangning to provide him with
Fine wine, and a talented apprentice.
After taking Su Mei back, Tang Ning no longer has to take such risks or make deals with him.
After settling the security issue, Tang Ning went to Zuo Xiaowei to find Chen Zhou. After Chen Zhou listened to what he said, he bowed and said, "All of my subordinates are at the mercy of the general."
The reason why Chen Zhou was picked over others was that, firstly, Tang Ning was used to having him around and could not find anyone smarter and more sensible than him. Secondly, the good news would not go to outsiders. This trip to Guizhou would be a great success if it was done well.
One thing is that Chen Zhou's position as general was not earned through military merit and was not stable. With the merits of Guizhou Province, he could sit in this position safely.
After all these arrangements are made, we are just waiting to set off after the new year.
Tang Ning came back from the Xiaoqi Camp and saw Rich Man Tang sitting in the courtyard. Seeing him walk in, she said, "Come and sit."
After Tang Ning sat down, he glanced at Tang Ning and asked, "Have you sold out many shops in Beijing?"
Tangning nodded and said, "We will be leaving the capital soon, and by then, those shops won't be able to stay for long."
Doing business in the capital is different from that in Lingzhou. Without a deep background, those shops that can make huge profits will sooner or later be eaten up to the ground.
What's more important is that Tang Ning is surrounded by enemies everywhere in the capital. He has offended almost all the powerful people, and the Tang family's shop may be attacked by them as soon as he escapes.
"Two prodigal sons!" Rich Man Tang glared at him and said, "This is a shame for a businessman!"
His father-in-law was obviously very dissatisfied with him and Tang Yaoyao's failure. Tang Ning could only say: "I'll think of a way..."
With Tangning's current status, if she wanted to leave the Chen Kingdom normally, Emperor Chen would not agree to it.
It was a good idea to fake his death to escape, but Tang Ning believed that if the news was released, many dignitaries in Beijing would hold a banquet at home to celebrate for three days...
When the time comes, those stores will inevitably be blocked by them.
If you want to ensure that the stores are not affected, you need to find a backer for them. Tang Ning has many enemies and friends in the capital, but it is not easy to find someone suitable to take over these stores.
A wealthy family like the Fang family would not directly interfere with businessmen's affairs, but without the strength and background of the Fang family, they would not be able to suppress the powerful man who was ready to move.
Tang Ning also thought about handing over these shops to Xiao Jue to manage, but the Xiao family is a powerful person. Although these things can bring them great benefits, they can also make them a thorn in the side of other powerful people.
The Xiao family has finally risen again, and Tang Ning cannot let them go into danger again.
It's best to find someone who can't afford to offend the powerful people in the capital, likes money, and is reliable...
A concave and convex figure immediately appeared in Tangning's mind.
…
In the Princess's Mansion, Princess Anyang looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
