The three generations of the Qing family were imperial merchants and had a close relationship with Prince Wu's Palace. They were guests of the Prince's Palace. The most important thing is that Qing Yuanhui's eldest sister was once a female official next to the Queen Mother and had a deep relationship with the Queen Mother.
"The husband-in-law of the sister of the Qing family was personally selected by the emperor's sister-in-law. After the two got married, the relationship between the couple was very good. They lived in harmony with each other and lived a small life, which made people particularly envious. It's a pity..." His Highness Prince Ning sighed. His tone and expression were helpless, "Good people don't live long. When the couple went on an outing, they encountered robbers. Together with the maids, servants, and servants around them, a total of thirty people..."
"Robbers?" Shen Haolin frowned, "When did this happen?"
"It must have been more than ten years." Qing Yuanhui looked at Shen Haolin, "I know what you are thinking, but the robbers have been caught, and we have also asked. They are not the same people as in the Chi family case. My age doesn't match up either. Speaking of the Chi family's case, I do have some news."
"Oh?" His Highness Prince Ning looked at Qing Yuanhui with great interest, "Why haven't I heard you say that?"
"There is such a rumor, but I have never seen this person before. I don't know whether it is true or false, so I didn't say anything about it." Qing Yuanhui sorted out his thoughts and said, "The child who was rumored to have been kidnapped and killed. The illegitimate son of Mrs. Chi's mother is now living in the Kingdom of Jin. His biological father is a big nobleman in the Kingdom of Jin. He has only one son, and all the wealth of the family has been left to this illegitimate son."
"Where did you hear that?" His Highness Prince Ning frowned slightly, "A businessman from the Kingdom of Jin who is doing business with you?"
"Yeah!" Qing Yuanhui nodded, "Many nobles in the Jin Kingdom have their own industries, and many noble children are very keen on doing business. Among those who do business with me, two of them are somewhat famous in Yiqing Prefecture. , they have their own news. It is said that the illegitimate son is very capable. There are many unconvinced people in the clan and many troublemakers, but he has suppressed them. Now he has spoken out in the clan."
"Mrs. Chi...don't know?"
"I probably didn't know, otherwise I wouldn't have left with regrets." Qing Yuanhui sighed, "I guess Old Man Chi knows."
"Why?" Song Qiyun looked at Qing Yuanhui curiously, "If he knows, shouldn't he hide it from Mrs. Chi?"
"He probably only found out in the past few years. I suspect that this is also the reason why Chi Er came to my path through Prince Dai's Mansion and Prince Wu's Mansion. On the one hand, they wanted to smuggle salt and iron to save some money for themselves. , on the one hand, I want to find Mrs. Chi’s brother by doing business in the Kingdom of Jin.”
"They..." Shen Haolin tapped his fingers on the table next to him, "What exactly do they want to do? Treason just because the Jiangnan nobles migrated to Xijing?"
"This is just their pretense. The real purpose is just to satisfy their own greed. Why avenge those prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River? It's been a hundred years. I'm afraid the people back then have been reincarnated several times. Qing Yuanhui rolled his eyes, "It's a pity that when I agreed to do business with them, I didn't realize their true colors. Otherwise, even if it offends Prince Wu and Prince Dai, I wouldn't agree."
"This brings up the matter of you being deceived by Chi Er." His Highness Prince Ning pushed him, "You have already told me about my embarrassing things, now tell me about your own!" Seeing that Yuan Hui still had some doubts, he added Continue to urge, "Stop inking, hurry up!"
"Actually, there is nothing to say. He approached me about doing business, and I agreed. He said he had no experience and asked me to guide him, and I agreed. As you know, I have been doing silk, Tea and other things that are more popular among foreigners, and in winter, I also bring some unique pastries from Daxia. Although the price is high, the quality is also high, and value for money is the bottom line I have always adhered to. But..." Qing Qing Yuan Hui sighed, "He made me miserable that time."
"Shoddy goods?"
"Absolutely." Qing Yuanhui nodded towards Shen Cha, "He mixed the poor quality silk with the good quality, and sold it to some shops in Yiqing Prefecture under my name. Those who were tricked by him, They were not my old customers, so it was almost three months until I returned to Xijing that I received news from those Jin businessmen."
"Then why a second time?"
"When I received the news, I was already ready to set off. It was too late to regret it." Qing Yuanhui sighed, "However, fortunately I received the news, and I became wary of Chi Er, and then I realized that he was using He followed my path and started a salt and iron business. I also thank him for being so bold and giving me a good excuse to get rid of him."
"Different Taoists do not work together. It is good to withdraw as soon as possible to minimize losses."
"This isn't over yet. Just a few months ago, he..." His Highness Prince Ning smiled evilly and said, "He was tricked by Chi Er again."
