"Really dead?"
asked the richest man.
"real?"
Zheng Erniang immediately grabbed Master Zheng's handle.
Zheng Xiu explained with a smile: "Yesterday I had dinner with him and found that he had black eyes, dry coughs, sluggish steps, sluggish complexion, swollen eye bags, dim eyes, white lips and sunken eyes, irregular menstruation, and inability to have sex. I I think he must have a deficiency of yin and yang..."
Erniang listened quietly, with a look like "I'll just watch the master's performance quietly."
Zheng Xiu did not continue, coughed twice, and straightened his expression: "What is the specific situation?"
"Master, you really don't know?" Erniang asked suspiciously.
Zheng Xiu couldn't laugh or cry: "I am in prison and am miserable and depressed. And I can't kill people from a distance. What does this... have to do with me?"
Erniang thought it made sense, even if the master really made some arrangements and even spent money to hire someone to do it.
That was done by someone else and had nothing to do with the master.
She told everything she knew.
Shi Wentong screamed in front of his home in the middle of the night, and the coachman found him dead in the carriage.
Six-door patrols conducted a thorough investigation of the scene overnight. It is said that in the end, for some reason, the Criminal Department, the Household Department, and the Personnel Department were alerted.
Why did it alarm so many departments? Erniang has no way of knowing the inside story yet. But there are many rumors circulating in the city today, saying that Shi Wentong died in the middle of the night because he went to the prison camp to visit the prisoner yesterday because of his old feelings.
The implication is that Boss Zheng is suspicious.
Rumors in the imperial city have been spreading wildly recently, and the sky is full of suspicion. Storytellers in various teahouses express their opinions, and even quarrel across the street, which is very lively.
"If you want to impose a crime, why bother?" Zheng Xiu said in a loud voice, feeling guilty. Quickly change the subject and ask about the situation of his own industry.
Shi Wentong really can't do anything casually in this matter. The more he interferes, the more likely he is to make mistakes. He is in prison and there is irrefutable evidence. No one can do anything to him. It's safest to treat it as if you don't know.
Er Niang said that in the past two days, the head of the household department came to check the accounts, but the Zheng family's accounts were clean and nothing could be found so far.
Haha, Zheng Xiu thought of what Shi Wentong said in the compartment last night. The man behind him had not succeeded in wooing Ke Xunliang, so he calmly asked: "Where is the Ministry of Punishment? Has it issued an official document convicting me?"
Erniang shook her head: "It hasn't been announced yet, but when the Ministry of Punishment told us, you are suspected of hiding 50 million in taxes. Until the investigation is clear, you will be detained pending trial."
Zheng Xiudao: "Temporarily putting him in jail pending trial is just a temporary statement. Otherwise, it is impossible to put him on death row immediately."
The second mother was silent.
Business people are very familiar with the Daqian Law, otherwise how can they find loopholes? Although Er Niang didn't say anything, she knew in her heart that someone was causing trouble behind her back.
Zheng Xiu gave a few words of comfort, and after understanding the outside situation, he instructed Erniang to make corresponding arrangements and stabilize her own business first.
"Just say that in order to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the establishment of Zheng's Bank, we have added a 'maturity profit sharing' business. For time deposits of more than one million taels, not only will the custody fee be waived, but half of the profits from the deposit will be given to them every year. .”
"If you want to put up a plaque, just say, 'Other people's banks collect money every year, but money from Zheng's bank can generate money.'"
"In addition to cutting off large areas, we also need to attract retail investors' deposits. As long as retail investors with less than one million deposit money into Zheng's Bank this month, the custody fee will be waived for one year. If it is less than one year, if it exceeds one day, the custody fee will be waived. The storage fee will be reduced by 50%.”
"In addition, all Zheng's taxi drivers are ordered to hand out flyers with the Zheng's official seal on them. As long as you use the flyers to go to Zheng's properties for consumption, you can get a discount of 30 taels for purchases over fifty taels, and a discount of six taels for purchases over a hundred taels. By analogy, there is no upper limit. If you dare to take advantage of the Zheng family, you dare to give it away until you go bankrupt."
"In addition, Zheng Zheng's business of beating people is open to beating first and then charging. If you are not satisfied, you will not be charged. Remember, there are three types of beatings that Zheng will not hit. He will not hit people for no reason, he will not hit the old, weak, women and children, and he will not hit high-ranking officials. "
"Send out a letter, not only in the imperial city, but also in Zheng's restaurants all over the world, and I will launch a group promotion. If there are ten people per table, 10% off the fee, no limit on the number of times, no voucher required, everyone has a share, forever Not in vain.”
Orders were issued one after another, and Zheng Xiu's mouth went dry as he spoke.
Zheng Erniang promptly poured a glass of water from her personal kettle, pinched the orchid with her fingers, and brought it to the master's mouth through the fence.
After moistening his throat, Zheng Xiu was satisfied: "That's almost it for now."
At this time, Zheng Xiu looked stunned and his forehead felt itchy.
When Er Niang saw the old man scratching his forehead, she thought he was itchy and reached out to help.
"No, you go back first."
Mr. Zheng decided to scratch it himself without asking anyone.
"Master, are you... doing a good deed?"
Zheng Xiu's words were always "send, send, send", which made Erniang unable to distinguish Zheng Xiu's true intention for a while.
"Can't you see it? You just can't see it." Zheng Xiu sighed: "The way to do business is to convince people with virtue."
"But that Zheng's Bank has been in business for less than ten years."
"I, Zheng Xiu, say it's full when it's full. Who will care about it?"
"Understood."
Erniang nodded in agreement.
"By the way," it's really not a good place to stay here for a long time. Before Er Niang left, she put a delicate little bag into Zheng Xiu's hand: "This is the amulet Er Niang went to the Fairy Temple on the outskirts of the city to ask for for me yesterday. Please keep it close to me, sir." Keep it, I hope you can survive this disaster safely."
"Is it that flower fairy who is pretending to be a magician?" Zheng Xiu looked at it and was dumbfounded: "Honestly, how much did you spend?"
Erniang pursed her lips: "It's not much. To protect our sincerity, I only donated three thousand taels."
"Take advantage of yourself." Zheng Xiu muttered in a low voice.
"Um?"
"People like you are the ones who are being slaughtered." Zheng Xiu said, still putting the safety talisman close to his body: "You know that I don't believe in these gods, Buddhas and monsters."
Erniang covered her mouth and chuckled: "But I clearly remember that when you were a child, you often took Erniang to the mountain and said that you wanted to find the traces of immortals and seek the way to immortality. There was indiscriminate penetration..."
"Flag." When Er Niang mentioned it, Zheng Xiu couldn't help but laugh. He remembered that when he was a child, he had just awakened the memory of his previous life. His mother was depressed because his father died in the war, and finally hanged herself, leaving a mess for Zheng Xiu. When he was growing up, he almost depended on his second mother.
Zheng Erniang was eight years older than Zheng Xiu at that time, so she took the initiative to take over Zheng's mother's responsibility and take care of Zheng Xiu's daily life.
"Okay, I'll put it away next to you. Put it away." Zheng Xiu remembered something: "By the way, Er Niang, help me find a place."
"Sir, please tell me."
Zheng Xiu lowered his voice: "Help me check if there is a place called 'Bai Li Village' near Yanzhou or in the three surrounding states. If you can't find it, check elsewhere. Zheng There are many people in the family who travel all over the world, and they have good news, so put some money and ask for news."
"Bai Li Village?" Er Niang recalled carefully, but she had never heard of this village. But this is not surprising. Daqian covers a vast territory and no one knows everything.
"Er Niang understands, sir, don't open this peace talisman without authorization. The people in the Fairy Temple said that it won't work if you open it." Zheng Er Niang warned her carefully. After getting up and walking a few steps, she seemed to hesitate, then turned back. He lowered his voice and said, "Zhizhi tells the master: the matter is done."
Zheng Xiu nodded.
As soon as Erniang left, Zheng Xiu opened the peace charm, revealing a bunch of hair inside.
"You are really taken advantage of." Mr. Zheng sighed softly. He wanted to throw it away, but hesitated for a moment, but still kept it close to his body.
When Er Niang left, Zheng Xiu scratched the knot on his forehead, hurriedly entered the prison, rolled out the paper and took a look, and suddenly smiled.
"Zheng is really talented, tall and hard!"
[No businessman, no traitor (little accomplishments)] 1. As the saying goes, no businessman, no traitor, and you are the tyrant among traitors. When you throw a point, there is a certain probability of triggering "opportunism", which doubles the points. 2. You understand the way of choosing. As the saying goes, give first and then take. When creating a new incarnation, you can halve the points of a throw in advance, and the points of the next throw will definitely trigger "Opportunism" and double.
Advanced!
Master Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw the words "new incarnation".
Tried it, no success.
Maybe it's not time.
But this undoubtedly gave Mr. Zheng one more thing to think about and look forward to.
He took the time to quickly scan Wang Cangyun, the leader with a sword in front of him, a few times, but Zheng Xiu found that since [Provocation] was upgraded to the realm of "entering the house", no matter how he insulted and provoked Wang Cangyun, or even stretched out his neck to arrogantly ask him to come over, he could no longer get away from it. Wang Cangyun gained experience points.
It must be that this super wool is bald.
The reason why Zheng Xiu asked Er Niang to check the information about "Bai Li Village" was because he found that the clothing style of Wang Cangyun and others was very similar to the clothing style of the Daqian Dynasty, so he kept a careful eye on it and checked it out.
Now that Wang Cangyun was bald, Zheng Xiu stepped into Baili Village again, declined the village chief's invitation, and wandered around the village on his own.
Let’s explore the road first.
Commonly known as: opening a map.
It was dusk when Zheng Xiu entered the village.
The villagers were preparing to go back to the house. Zheng Xiu walked around and found that the living conditions of the residents of Baili Village seemed to be good. Although their clothes were shabby, most of them were white, fat, and had delicate skin, unlike farmers.
When the villagers saw Zheng Xiu, they walked a little faster, as if they were dodging. Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, thinking that bandits were entrenched outside, but he felt it was natural. They quickly stepped forward to catch a villager for friendly investigation. Under Master Zheng's questioning, they reluctantly told a lot of intelligence information.
Zheng Xiu mainly asked about the situation in the village. They said that there is a river to the east of Baili Village, which is rich in a kind of fat carp with white scales. Their village makes a living by fishing, so they will not go hungry. .
The atmosphere of this village gave Mr. Zheng a strange sense of dissonance, but it was hard to pinpoint what was strange, it was just strange everywhere.
What's the difficulty?
A scream was like thunder.
"Hmph, you dare to chase me thousands of miles away. Are you afraid you are looking down on me?"
Commander Wang was not a man of martial ethics. When Zheng Xiu was stunned, he came from behind and cut off Zheng Xiu's head with a single blow.
【die. 】
Mr. Zheng, who was slashed back to reality with a knife, was stunned.
You're not fucking done yet, are you?
