Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion is the top brothel in Zhongjing City.
When Xia Jingyun and Chen Fugui came to the brightly lit gate, the Madam's eyes immediately lit up and they greeted them enthusiastically.
His majestic chest was pressed against Xia Jingyun's arm, and the strong but not ordinary smell of top-grade cosmetics invaded his nose. He laughed in a disgusting voice: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Xia! It's your first time to come to our Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion, so you must have a good time. Ah! We at Liuyuntianxiang Pavilion will only charge 50% of all consumption tonight!"
It is worthy of being the number one brothel in the capital. This intelligence capability alone outstrips the rest of the forces in the capital.
But unfortunately, their intelligence could not know Xia Jingyun's true purpose.
Xia Jingyun felt the softness coming from his arms. His expression was indifferent, without any emotion or anger, and he showed the demeanor of a top nobleman in the capital. He glanced around and said calmly: "Is Mr. Qin here?"
The old bustard said with a smile: "Young master Qin, please come here later. Today is just an unlucky day."
Xia Jingyun nodded, "What about Mr. Qian?"
The old bustard did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Mr. Qian has just arrived."
Xia Jingyun said directly: "Take me there."
The madam nodded, swung her hips and walked ahead.
This is not disrespectful, but too respectful.
Xia Jingyun didn't look directly and followed the madam around a few turns in the brightly lit backyard until he came to a room with charming silk and bamboo.
Xia Jingyun threw out a piece of silver and said, "I'll call you if I need anything."
The madam accepted it with a smile, but after Xia Jingyun pushed the door open and walked in, he stood aside to confirm whether there would be any problems inside.
The door of the room was suddenly opened. Qin Yuwen frowned and was about to have a seizure when he saw the appearance of the person clearly.
"It's you?"
Xia Jingyun sat down directly opposite him, and Chen Fugui helped close the door.
"I want to ask you a question."
This attitude made Qin Yuwen frown again, with a rather unhappy look on his face.
"Why did you go to Fenghe Pavilion today? I asked the people at Fenghe Pavilion that you have never been there before. Is there any reason why you suddenly went there?"
Qin Yuwen's face turned cold, "Xia Gaoyang, did you take the wrong medicine? Where did I go? Do I still need to report to you?"
Xia Jingyun shook his head, "Mr. Qian, I hope you can answer truthfully. This answer is very important to me, and it is even more important to you."
"Hey!" Qin Yuwen laughed angrily, "Xia Gaoyang, don't think that you dare to talk to me like this just because you have the sworn sister of a noble concubine in the palace. How many queens and queen mothers have come out of the Qin family for several generations? , you are nothing!"
"Hey!" Xia Jingyun sighed, not angry, "Ning Bing redeemed herself today and found me for help. The steward of Fenghe Pavilion also looked at my face and let her go. However, it is such a person who is about to A person who is conscientious and longs for an innocent life in the future is forced to jump off a building by your people. I came here to ask, is this your instruction?"
Qin Yuwen looked at Xia Jingyun's suppressed anger and questioning tone, and felt increasingly unhappy. He didn't even bother to explain, "So what? Do you still want to avenge her?"
Xia Jingyun was still neither happy nor angry, "If it's one of your subordinates who did evil, then hand him over, whether it's legal or lynching, there must be an explanation. If it's your own will, then you are the person I want to collect debt from. .”
Qin Yuwen frowned, and his face showed a bit of deep confusion, even a bit of surprise, "Xia Gaoyang, are you really out of your mind? Do you want to be my enemy for a lowly prostitute? Have you grown up? Brain?"
An oiran who was drinking with Qin Yuwen also understood Xia Jingyun's identity and the grudge between the two. She, who was always smart, decided to give it a try and plucked up the courage to smooth things over with a smile, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Qian is right, you two are big shots, Mr. Qian, why bother with trivial matters?"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Two scoldings came from Qin Yuwen and Xia Jingyun at the same time.
Qin Yuwen glared coldly, "Do you have the right to speak?"
Xia Jingyun sneered, "A trivial matter? Or to say it from the mouth of someone who is also a brothel girl? It's really ironic!"
"A girl like you, who was reduced to a brothel due to various circumstances, now wakes up, decides to be a good person, and live a pure life from now on. But on the eve of leaving with full of longing, she is forced to jump off the building and commit suicide to protect her innocence. Do you think this is a small thing?"
The famous courtesan shut up in anger, and Xia Jingyun looked at Qin Yuwen again, "Do you know that she used to entertain people with sex just like them, immersed in her beauty and the vanity of others spending a lot of money on her, but she understood. Life can't be spent like this, and she knows the meaning of not looking down on oneself. Therefore, when she was in the spotlight, she had already decided to spend all her hard-earned savings to redeem herself. Even if she lived in poverty and loneliness in the future, You can also live with dignity. But you ruined everything!"
"Did you know that after receiving my reply, she tossed and turned all night long, looking forward to another new life. She and her maidservant once thought about where to live in the future, what to make a living, and what to adopt. Girls who are as miserable as her can change their destiny. But all of this was ruined by you!"
"do you know"
"That's enough!" Mr. Qian shouted, interrupting Xia Jingyun, "Xia Jingyun, have you given me face? What qualifications do you have to say these things to me here? Do you really think I don't dare to deal with you?"
"Look, you really don't know, let alone don't want to know, because in your eyes, people are divided into three, six or nine levels. People below you are all lower than you in terms of personality. In front of me, I’m not even qualified to talk to you on an equal footing.”
Xia Jingyun sneered, "As for those with lower status, life and death are not as important to you as the glass of wine in front of you."
"Xia Jingyun, let me warn you one last time, don't do anything you will regret! The Qin family is not something you can afford to offend!"
"I'm offended, so what can I do?"
Xia Jingyun's smile became even brighter, "Do you know that in my eyes, there is no difference between you and Ning Bing? In my eyes, she is even more like a person than you!"
"Xia Jingyun!"
Qin Yuwen, who has been warned by the elders of the clan since he was a child to keep peace with others, be prudent and protect himself, and not to easily get involved in the struggle between the DPRK and China, could no longer bear the humiliation and shouted, "I want you to regret what you did today! I I want you to kneel down and beg me!"
"I am waiting."
Xia Jingyun sneered, then turned and left.
When he walked outside the door and saw the madam standing in the distance, Xia Jingyun took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from his arms and put it into her arms, "I'm sorry."
The old bustard was stunned, but then he was overjoyed regardless.
Watching Xia Jingyun leave, Qin Yuwen's face turned pale after being mocked in front of him.
His personal entourage quickly knelt down and said, "Sir, this subordinate is not doing his job well. Please punish me!"
Qin Yuwen said coldly: "It's none of your business, get out of here."
He held the cup and his face darkened, "Go and call the steward here."
Soon, a middle-aged man with dark circles under his eyes who was clearly consumed by alcohol and sex walked in and said respectfully: "Mr. Qian."
"Who told Xia Jingyun that I was here just now?"
The middle-aged man was startled and immediately said: "Young man, go find out now."
It didn't take much time either, and the madam was taken to the room.
When she heard about the accusation, she quickly complained and shouted that she really didn't know that the other person was here to cause trouble, which made Qin Yuwen wave his hand impatiently for a while, "Twenty palms, take him down."
The madam was slapped until her cheeks were swollen and her eyes were filled with stars. She finally understood the meaning of Xia Jingyun's apology and the bank note.
Everyone in the Hou Mansion breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xia Jingyun and Chen Fugui returning safely.
Su Yuanshang also arranged for Lu Yi to find a place for Ning Bing's body, place it properly, and lay it to rest in a few days.
The former maid, now the younger sister Ying'er, insisted on guarding her, so Xia Jingyun left her alone.
The expected violent storm did not come, but now that the hatred was forged, things would not end so easily.
What was supposed to come would always come, but no one expected that Qin Yuwen's attack would be so steady and ruthless.
The next morning, the Marquis of Jiang'an had just woken up when several shopkeepers from the street managed by De Fei's family came over.
"Mr. Gongsun, someone from the Qin family came here early this morning and asked us to settle last year's supply account and let us deliver it within three days. How can we get so much money at once?"
"Yes, in the past, all this money was spent at the end of spring. During the Chinese New Year, we distributed all the cash. We distributed money where money should be distributed and placed orders where orders were needed. Now, isn't this looking for trouble!"
"The original contract stated that the settlement would be settled the following year, but the rules are in late spring. Are the Qin family going to go against us?"
"Mr. Gongsun, several of the raw materials ordered by our jewelry shop have been sold out by the Qin family at high prices. However, there are only five days left for delivery. If we cannot deliver on time, my shop alone will have to lose at least a few dollars. A thousand taels of silver!"
Gongsun Jing felt dizzy after hearing this, and just as he asked them to be quiet for a while, several stewards from Zhuangzi outside the city also stood in front of the mansion anxiously.
"Mr. Gongsun, someone from the Qin family suddenly came last night and said that this year's fruits and vegetables will not be collected for the time being. The money for breaking the contract will be paid within a month as agreed. But you also know that in order to make more money, now The large area of agricultural products near us, including chickens, ducks, and livestock, are all collected by us and then resold to the Qin family for a profit. Now he doesn't give us money, but we have to pay these farmers and Zhuangzi! "
"Yes, they are compensated according to the contract, but the water far away cannot quench the thirst of the nearer, and the daily expenses alone are huge. How can we deal with it?"
"Mr. Gongsun, please come up with an idea!"
Gongsun Jing's head was buzzing after hearing this, and the consequences he was most worried about finally appeared.
The Qin family showed off their profound background as one of the world's richest men. Any time they made a move, it was like a thunderbolt that hit seven inches straight.
How can the young master cope with this level?
No matter how powerful he is, this matter of money will probably be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw, right?
He sat a little sluggishly, while the shopkeeper and Zhuangzi's steward below were making a mess, just like the last imperial court that was in chaos like headless flies when the army came to the city.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded, "Don't worry, everyone, I will handle this matter!"
Following the sound, Xia Jingyun dressed in a green shirt and walked slowly into the main hall.
besides. I originally mentioned that I would add an update yesterday, but I didn’t finish it, so I will add it today.
In the new month, readers have great plans.
