He was invited out, and even though it was a sudden visit late at night, Bai Feng was still respectful and polite and did not neglect.
Su Qing had been rejected by others countless times before, and no matter what the reason was, it was no more absurd than this time.
"That boy actually thinks it's safer to do nothing?" He said in his heart: "It seems that the flowers in this capital have obscured his eyesight, making it difficult for him to distinguish the current situation. Sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat."
He returned to the guest room to rest, and strode out the next morning. He came to a bustling old street and entered a wine shop. He held a pair of dancers in his right hand, held a wine glass in his left hand, and took a big gulp of the wine and powder. , at this moment, the best appetizer is the tip of each other's tongues, and the most pleasing dance will only use the palms as the stage. The girls pressed their bodies close to each other and stared at the few ingots of silver on the table. In order to get rich overnight, they tried their best around Su Qing.
It was so debauched that even the foodies who often visited here couldn't stand it anymore, and they didn't feel comfortable until they moved to another store.
The owner of the wine shop was afraid that his business would be affected by such a gangster. He beat gongs and drums and called in a few burly men. They rushed up and asked Su Qing: "Where did the wild dog dare to act in my place?"
"Young master is not a deadbeat, why have you become a wild dog?" Su Qing stretched out his legs and overturned the table in front of him. The few ingots of silver also fell to the ground. The dancer just crawled over like a dog to grab the silver. He put it away and hid behind Su Qing, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"Who cares about your dirty money?" The owner of the wine shop said: "You took away our people and you are still here making sarcastic remarks?"
"I came here just to have fun, what's wrong with that? Besides, I can just buy this shabby shop of yours and turn it into a coffin shop?" Su Qing informed the dancer behind him, Said: "Take the money, go redeem yourself, remember to start a new life."
The two dancers looked at each other, hesitated, and finally chose to hand over the money to the boss. The total amount was eighty taels, which was a lot of money. The remaining change was used for travel expenses on the road.
"After you leave, never look back!" Su Qing looked at them who were about to pack their bags, completely ignoring the owner of the wine shop.
"Are you trying to ruin my business on purpose?" The owner of the restaurant kicked the fallen table to the side and jumped away suddenly, trying to catch Su Qing on the spot like a hungry eagle pouncing on food, but Su Qing only feinted. He grabbed one of the other's arms with his hand, and with a "click" the man fell to the ground crying.
When the others saw this, they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Take it, this is the money I gave you for drinking and seeing the doctor." Su Qing searched all over his body and only found a money bag, and there was nothing more: "How about we meet again later?"
After causing trouble here, Su Qing found that he hadn't even finished the half day, so he planned to take a detour to the Shijia Chamber of Commerce to get some money for emergencies.
This is a microcosm of the countless days and nights he has spent since he acquired endless wealth. He found that he had not become kind or wantless just because he became a rich man. He could still only help the people he had met. He still wanted to show off his power in front of others. He was still so despicable, dirty and petty. People are ambitious, passionate and narcissistic. They like to hear the sound of women breathing and see them look shy.
Sometimes he would blame himself, "That's why Xiang Chuchu left me."
But soon, he will find an excuse to indulge in another short-lived love affair and forget all these troubles. Until one day, when his troubles were no longer just about himself, but about others, he found that money and beauty had no effect.
No matter where it is, the decoration of the Shijia Chamber of Commerce will never be simple, but in Jinyang City, it is even more luxurious. From the entrance to the hall, there are a total of sixty stone steps. Along the way, there are lotus ponds, flower gardens and other scenery. Businessmen come and go frequently, and there is always a deed and a note in hand.
Su Qing handed the token of the Shi family to a boy, and then sat alone in the hall for a long time. Not long after, an old acquaintance came to recognize him and said: "Su Qing, Mr. Su! You are well."
"Is it Young Master Nie Yun of the Shi Family?" Su Qing stood up in surprise, and then changed her words: "It should be... the Master of the Nie Yun Family!"
"Ashamed, ashamed." Nie Yun was dressed neatly, his hair was combed high and straight, and his beard was neatly trimmed. At first glance, he looked like a white-faced scholar, but in fact he was a dominating gentry and landlord. .
"I wonder how the Nie Yun family came to Jinyang?" Su Qing laughed at himself: "You can't think that I spend too much money, so you come to take back the token, right?"
Nie Yun immediately returned the token, as if he had something to hide, and said, "It's just some business matters. It's a coincidence that you and I meet here today!"
"Oh, that's it." Su Qing put the token away and continued: "If the head of the Nie Yun family encounters any difficulties and asks me to help, I, Su Qing, will not sit idly by."
Nie Yun bowed his hands and said in respect: "Since Brother Su is so generous, I also hide my secrets. I heard that the Yuyi Zhao family has done a lot of great things this year, and I have always admired the Zhao family's little sister. I heard that she also came to the capital this time. To meet the emperor? However, I have never found a chance to say hello to her. If someone can introduce me to her, I, Nie Yun, will never forget this kindness in my life."
"This... this matter may be a bit difficult." Su Qing felt a little bit in a dilemma, because he knew that his little sister already had a dream lover in her heart, and she would not accept the advances of a third person in a short time: "But, I can introduce you to Patriarch Nie Yun."
Nie Yun excitedly grabbed Su Qing's hands and said, "What are your requests? Just ask, I will definitely comply with them."
Su Qing thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out anything. He just said: "How about you owe this favor first, and I will come back to get it if I need it in the future. That's it, I'll leave first!"
After speaking, Su Qing took the broken silver presented by the boy, jumped up to the roof, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. He first returned to the post house where the Zhao family lived temporarily and told Zhao Kuo that an old acquaintance wanted to meet their brothers and sisters. Zhao Kuo knew that Nie Yun controlled a famous chamber of commerce, so he would not refuse. Then he hurried back to the Gao family's mansion and met Bai Feng.
While Su Qing was wandering around the capital, Bai Feng had already heard that "General Right Guard" had been unwell recently and wanted to temporarily assume his duties as "General Left Guard".
Su Qing remonstrated decisively: "This is deliberately delegating power to you. It's not a good intention!"
"If I don't accept the order, I am disobeying it." Bai Feng said: "From now on, no matter inside or outside the imperial city, all corners and alleys, big and small, are under my jurisdiction. Brother Su, I will not indulge in any bullying of the weak. , things that take advantage of and take advantage of are happening.”
Su Qing said: "Who do you think suggested that you take on this position concurrently?"
"Probably someone from the Gao family, maybe Prince Gao Yang, or General Gao Gao." Bai Feng replied.
"A member of the Gao family?" Su Qing sarcastically asked, "Do you already think of yourself as a member of the Gao family?"
Bai Feng was puzzled and said: "If they are all wise people, whether they are from the Gao family or not, I am willing to help them. From the current point of view, both the prince and the general are trying their best to check and balance the eunuchs and evil ways. In order to The country does its duty with all its heart.”
"But you don't know what their true faces are." Su Qing said: "Prince Gaoyang is a drunkard, lustful and addicted to gambling. After all, he will never be able to achieve great success. And the two siblings, Gao Gao and Gao Xijun, are telling lies. They don't know what to do. Yun, I only know how to use your master to tempt you."
"I understand what you mean." Bai Feng said.
"No, you don't understand at all." Su Qing retorted: "You will never become a member of the Gao family!"
"That's why I will always keep you by my side." After Bai Feng finished speaking, Su Qing smiled brightly. The two greeted each other, then changed into casual clothes and went to visit General Youwei to express condolences on his condition and ask about the next step. official business.
