Xing Yue reached out with his palm and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Mrs. Song is too calm and speaks too methodically. It can be said that she is courageous, but there is a possibility that there is something fishy about her.
"Tell me about Ma Sanchao's resurrection from the dead a few years ago." Xingyun raised his eyebrows.
"He bought Nujia back with twenty taels of silver and asked Nujia to be his eighth concubine. Nujia was young at that time and didn't understand many things. She was sold by her parents and didn't go out in the house. But the slave family still found out something."
"It turns out that he secretly worked for an organization called 'Yuanlong'. His ability to make Fuyuan Jewelry Store bigger was also due to the large sum of money invested by the 'Yuanlong' organization. It turned out that the former Fuyuan Jewelry Store It’s about to close down, and it wouldn’t have been able to come back to life without the investment of that organization.”
"Yuanlong?" Xingyun frowned.
This is the first time I heard this name, but it feels inexplicably familiar. Where does this sense of familiarity come from?
"Sir, Yuanlong is their name, but what exactly this organization does, the Nu family has no way of knowing." Mrs. Song said.
"Keep talking." Xingyun signaled.
"With the money he received, and Yuan Long's injection of about 50,000 taels of silver, he quickly expanded the Fuyuan Jewelry Store and became the largest jewelry store in the area. He opened up various avenues and gradually became rich, but he got other people's money. , we have to do things for them, the Nu family doesn’t know what secret agreement he signed with Yuan Long back then.”
"From time to time, he would use his status as a wealthy businessman to deliver some news to Yuanlong, use money to win over people in the yamen, collect information about the daily lives of officials, etc."
"Back then, before that incident happened, the slave family remembered that they accidentally saw him arguing with a woman in black behind a rockery in the garden, to the right of the pool, next to a crooked willow tree."
"The woman's face was covered with a veil and her hair was in a bun. Her voice was sharp and she spoke very fast. He was a little scared, but she didn't give in. Finally, the woman in black walked away."
"The slaves didn't dare to get close. From their conversation, I vaguely heard that Yinzi, Honggu, Xigu..."
"That night, he drank too much. In the main room, he fell down and lost his breath. Several of us there hurriedly lifted him and put him on the table. The experienced servants said that the master had passed away and was gone. Heartbeat, no breathing..."
"The next day, the master suddenly sat up again and said something different from his usual appearance. The slave family guessed that the person who woke up was not the master anymore, but was controlled by something."
"He went to the eldest prince and said that he would give money to support the eldest prince's rise to power, but the eldest prince refused... When he came back, he fell down again that night, and this time he never got up again."
Xingyun raised his eyes and asked, "What happened to the funeral afterwards?"
"Later, his eldest wife died early, and the other concubines had no heirs, so they took their money and ran away. The slave family was left behind by Xiao Yun, and the funeral arrangements were left to the funeral lord Zhang's family. We don't care, we just give you a sum of money to settle the matter." Mrs. Song said.
Immediately, Mrs. Song glanced at Ma Xiaoyun again, with a warm color flashing on her face.
"Xiao Yun and the Nu family are in love. He knew that marrying his own aunt was against moral ethics, so he deliberately concealed the identity of the Nu family. If you want to blame this matter, the Nu family should be blamed."
Ma Xiaoyun said quickly: "My lords, this has nothing to do with the Song family. This is all the ideas of the common people."
Xingyun impatiently interrupted their "drama".
"Okay, stop talking about it. We won't interfere with your affairs, and officials won't be held accountable if the people don't do it. Besides, our secret guards are investigating major cases, and we can't take care of family matters like yours."
"Thank you for your generosity, my lord."
Ma Xiaoyun and Mrs. Song looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
"So, the woman in black who talked to Ma Sanchao might have been called Honggu. Did that person come to you later?" Xingyun thought for a while.
"The woman in black never showed up, but later, Xiaomin discovered that all the money in the books was gone, the entire Fuyuan Jewelry Shop was empty, and there were still tens of thousands of unpaid debts." Ma Xiaoyun said: "It's my wife I found a sum of money that my father had hidden, and used that money to pay off the debt and reopen Fuyuan Jewelry Store."
"Don't worry, I don't care about your money. Besides, Boss Ma, we still have to continue our business. This order is not fake. You know, my lord is the owner of Yang's Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Zhongyongbo. Yang's Ruoqing." A smile flashed across Xingyun's face.
"Sir, do you really want to do this jewelry business?" Ma Xiaoyun was overjoyed.
This business is huge. He has collected a large amount of jewelry from all over the place and stored it in the warehouse. If this business fails, the entire Fuyuan Jewelry Shop will suffer heavy losses.
When he heard that this business was done by Yang Ruoqing from Zhongyongbo Mansion, he felt much more at ease.
In today's capital, among business people, there are almost no bosses who don't know about Yang's Chamber of Commerce, because if they don't know about Yang, they can't survive smoothly in the capital.
The businessmen knew that their status was very low, so there was a top businesswoman who could reach the top of the world and was extremely powerful. They wanted to build some connections, so that the business would be more secure and there would be greater opportunities. develop.
Anyone with insight knows that Yang Ruoqing has established the Tianxia Business Alliance to do some unimaginable big business. If you can get involved, the profits will be unimaginable.
"Boss Ma, please bring out this jewelry and let us count it."
Xingyun signaled, and Wang Sa put away the dagger in his hand and looked at Ma Xiaoyun.
"It's right here. Boss Jia, look at the boxes here. All the jewelry with a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver is here." Ma Xiaoyun led everyone to the depths of the warehouse and opened one of the boxes.
Red agate, green jade, gold jewelry, pearls from the bottom of the sea...
All kinds of rare treasures filled the entire box, and there were several boxes like this.
"Yes, Boss Ma will carry these jewels onto my carriage. In addition, please explain to the servants that you and your wife, Mrs. Song, will come with us to see my wife." Xingyun said.
"Okay, sir, we'll make arrangements right away and set off." Ma Xiaoyun said happily.
Going to see Madam is a great thing. How many rich people want to see Madam but can't. In the past, Madam didn't stay in the capital. Only before the Chinese New Year this year, Madam Yang spent a lot of time in the capital. time.
Such an opportunity is right in front of you, so you can't miss it.
Ma Xiaoyun asked his superiors and subordinates to carry the jewelry onto the carriage brought by Xingyun. Then, he gave instructions and got on the carriage with Mrs. Song.
