The business of the original Tianfu Pavilion was extremely prosperous. Under the management of Mo Yiyun's father Mo Tong, the business was extremely prosperous. It had opened more than a dozen branches in other parts of the Baizhan Dynasty. However, half a year ago,
Mo Tong received a huge deal and tried his best to complete the deal, hoping to make a lot of money. Unexpectedly, the goods were robbed, and Mo Tong was killed on the spot while escorting the goods.
.
After Mo Tong died, only his sick wife and daughter Mo Yiyun were left.
Mo Yiyun could only take his loyal servant Jia Lao, sold all the branches outside Zhanhuang City and most of the property to pay off debts, and worked hard to run the business.
Unexpectedly, after only half a year of operation, due to being squeezed by its peers, many goods were backlogged in the warehouse, unable to make ends meet, and facing the crisis of bankruptcy.
Later, Mo Yilai accidentally discovered that the vicious squeeze from his business colleagues had a reason.
A year ago, Bai Xingjian, the son of Bai Hehou, accidentally saw Mo Yiyun, so he sent someone to the Mo family to propose marriage, hoping to take her as his ninth concubine.
However, Mo Tong has no children and regards his daughter as a treasure. In addition, Mo Yiyun is arrogant by nature. Although Bai Xingjian, the son of Bai Hehou, has a distinguished status, he has a bad reputation and is extremely lustful. She is even more reluctant to commit herself to a concubine and refuses on the spot.
And these so-called peers who are squeezing Tianfu Pavilion's business are also the merchants controlled by Bai Hehou. During the process of squeezing Tianfu Pavilion's business, the chief executive of Baihehou Mansion also threatened Mo Mo many times, both openly and covertly.
Evian is willing to commit to the White Star Sword.
Under this situation, you know without asking that everything is caused by the White Star Sword.
"Miss, several merchants that She lent goods to us have come here several times to demand payment. The old slave finally got them to agree to wait for two more days. They said that after two days, if they don't get the payment again, they will
Go sue us."
Mr. Jia walked into the room and said with a sad look on his face.
"What, didn't those companies agree before that the goods She lent us would not be settled until the end of the year? Why did they go back on their word!" Mo Yiyun looked angry.
"They haven't heard about the news that we are auctioning Thorny Tiger Blades in Ziyun Auction House. In order to get in touch with the weapon refiner through us, they are willing to lend us the goods. Now they must have found out who
The weapon refiner didn't show up, and he didn't even take away the remaining money from the auction. He thought the relationship between us and the weapon refiner was broken, so he was anxious to ask us to pay back the money."
Mr. Jia said angrily.
"What can we do? Now there is no money left in our books except for the backlog of goods. How can we pay them back? These people have no credibility!"
Noila Mo's eyes were red and she was biting her lower lip, so anxious that tears almost flowed out.
After all, she is an eighteen-year-old girl. She has never experienced the cunning in the mall. She has been unable to support herself for the past few months, and she is already exhausted mentally and physically.
If this continues, Tianfu Pavilion will not be able to support itself, so it will have to sell off its goods and close its shops.
But this Tianfu Pavilion was the hard work of my father and mother, how could it be defeated in my own hands.
"The only way now is to use the gold from the auction of the Tiger Blade..."
When Mr. Jia saw the young lady like this, he felt heartbroken and suggested.
"No, if we use this money and the weapon refiner comes, what shall we explain? This person is the only hope for our Tianfu Pavilion to turn around... Moreover, my father has never broken his promise to others before, and he is most concerned about credibility.
, how could I do this!”
Noila Mo shook her head decisively, "Let me think of a solution for this matter."
Mr. Jia sighed silently, turned around and walked out of the room, murmuring: "Now those guys, I'm afraid they've all been bribed, which will make the lady suffer..."
"Tianfu Pavilion cannot be closed no matter what. Do I really want to commit myself to the traitor Bai Xingjian..."
As soon as Mr. Jia left, Mo Yiyun's tears couldn't be suppressed and fell down. His pretty face was full of flow marks, so pitiful that it made people feel heartbroken when they saw it.
"My father's unexpected death has left my mother heartbroken, and her condition has worsened. Please forgive me. Tianfu Pavilion was created by my father himself, and it is my mother's only sustenance. If I lose it, I'm afraid my mother's body will not be able to survive."
After a long time, Mo Yiyun raised his head, with a look of despair in his beautiful eyes, and called a waiter, biting his lower lip, and said: "Go and ask the chief steward of Baihehou Mansion to talk about that matter.
, I agreed."
Under Tianfu Attic.
"It seems that this White Star Sword is really not a good thing for bullying orphans and widows."
Luo Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness. He had heard everything that happened upstairs. Looking at the lazy waiters, he understood in his heart.
Not long after, Mr. Jia came down from upstairs and saw Luo Zheng sitting in the lobby with no one greeting him. More than a dozen waiters were talking and laughing among themselves.
He also knew that these people had been bribed and could not control them at all, so he rushed towards Luo Zheng.
"Don't you know what this guest needs?" Mr. Jia said.
Seeing Mr. Jia approaching Luo Zheng, all the guys stretched out their ears.
In fact, the clerks of Tianfu Pavilion were bribed a few months ago and became insiders. Every time Tianfu Pavilion failed to do business, these people would quickly leak it out, and then other businesses would start selling it at lower prices.
The price steals customers away.
It's just that in the beginning it was a secret, but with the decline of Tianfu Pavilion, it became blatant in the past two days.
"Haha, old gentleman, I think we can calm down in the quiet room." Luo Zheng glanced at the waiters with a deep look and said with a smile.
"Okay, please come with me." Mr. Jia nodded.
Enter the quiet room.
Mr. Jia personally delivered the tea and then asked: "What kind of goods does the guest need? Just tell us. We at Tianfu Pavilion will guarantee that we will supply the goods at the best price and we will definitely satisfy the guest."
"Haha, one of my disciples borrowed the help of your store to auction off a low-grade magic weapon that I refined. Your store has already paid one million taels of gold before. I guess there is still money left? I came here specially to pick it up this time.
.”
Luo Zheng smiled slightly and said.
"You, you are the weapon refiner!"
Mr. Jia suddenly stood up, his hands were trembling, his face was red with excitement, and he stared at Luo Zheng closely, as if a drowning man had grasped the straw to save his life.
"..."
"Please master, please save our Tianfu Pavilion and save my young lady!"
Just as Luo Zheng was about to speak, Mr. Jia suddenly burst into tears. With a bang, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head.
"Old sir, get up quickly. This junior can't bear it. What are you doing..."
Luo Zheng hurriedly helped Mr. Jia up. Although he knew the reason why Mr. Jia was kowtowing, he couldn't explain it. He could only pretend to be confused and thought to himself: "This Mr. Jia is loyal and worthy of admiration. Then Miss Mo refuses to use the auction."
If you use the gold of the magic weapon to repay the debt, you are a person of good faith."
Mr. Jia is a senior appraiser. Even if the Mo family falls into decline and Tianfu Pavilion is closed, he can easily find a high-paying job and there is no need to stay in the Mo family.
But he was willing to kneel down and beg for help for the sake of the Mo family, which shows his unrivaled loyalty.
Luo Zheng came from a poor family, and he respects such an old man from the bottom of his heart.
"Old sir, if you have anything to say, please talk to us carefully."
Luo Zheng finally helped Mr. Jia up from the ground.
"Master, please look at my old face and help our young lady..."
Mr. Jia was also a little embarrassed. He had been excited just now, so he did that kind of thing. After all, he had never met Luo Zheng, and he was a highly respected weapon refiner. He had no obligation to help at all, and it was useless to plead.
However, seeing Luo Zheng's expression, which did not have the domineering airs of some weapon refiners and was very easy to talk to, a glimmer of hope arose in Mr. Jia's heart.
In a few words, Mr. Jia probably told everything about the situation in Tianfu Pavilion. Except for the fact that Bai Jianxing wanted to marry Mo Yiyun, he did not hide any other information.
"Master, I use this old life as a guarantee. We, Tianfu Pavilion, will not take any of the proceeds from the sale of magical artifacts. After the master's death, Tianfu Pavilion is the only sustenance for the lady. If it is lost, I am afraid that the lady will not live long..."
As he spoke, Mr. Jia burst into tears again. Mr. Jia was an orphan since he was a child. He was taken in by the Mo family and survived. He served the Mo family for three generations and was loyal.
Luo Zheng listened with some hesitation in his heart. The situation of the Mo family was indeed pitiful, and Jia Laozhonglie was also admirable.
Cooperating with Tianfu Pavilion is something Luo Zheng has already thought about, but once he gets involved, he will definitely offend Bai Xingjian.
Baihehou has a very high reputation among the marquises of the dynasty. He is also a master of alchemy that the Emperor of War relies on, and his status is respected.
Luo Zheng also met Bai Xingjian when he was in Xianhefang. This person seemed to be gentle and polite, and quite easy-going, but in fact he had a very high self-esteem and was narrow-minded. He was the kind of villain who was bound to retaliate against others.
Moreover, the White Star Sword's body exudes an astonishing aura, and its cultivation level must be unfathomable. Luo Zheng didn't see the depth last time. This person is definitely not an easy person.
If the White Star Sword wants to deal with him, Luo Zheng will never back down, but for Jia Lao and Mo Yiyun, it is impossible to provoke such people.
"I will definitely join the Five Saints Army in the future, achieve military merit, and obtain the Imperial Golden Talisman. Previously, I have offended Zhao Feng, the son of Zhenyuan Marquis, and killed Xiao Han, Zhong Xiong and others, making many enemies. If I continue
If you offend the White Star Sword, I'm afraid you will be bound to a lot of people in the future!"
Luo Zheng thought about it for a while and made a decision.
"Old sir, let's do this. Even if I give the gold I got from the last auction to you, old man, and these, it can also be regarded as some support for your store. As for the matter with your store, I really can't help you!"
Luo Zheng spoke calmly, and then he moved his true energy, and a small mountain of gold spurted out from the gourd of heaven and earth, almost crushing the table in the quiet room.
"this……"
Mr. Jia took a breath of air.
The amount of gold is a total of two to three hundred thousand taels, which is part of the pile of gold that Zhao Feng stored in the Qiankun Gourd.
"This is absolutely impossible. I will never accept it."
Jia Laocheng was frightened and waved his hands quickly.
At this moment, Luo Zheng frowned and turned to look at the door.
