Chapter 85 Blackmail (seeking a monthly ticket)

When Lu Chengting heard that Xiao Haoqing asked him to stay and protect Miss Xiao, he didn't need to say anything.

This is not the time for disputes, deal with the matter here as soon as possible, and leave early to prevent the killer from coming back again.

In order to buy time, Xiao Haoqing took all the guards away, and Lu Chengting also waved his hand to ask the guards around him to help.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to walk back to the carriage with Bai Guo.

Lu Chengting followed silently, but they were not familiar with each other, and they were silent all the way without a word of conversation.

When he got to the side of the carriage, Lu Chengting said unhurriedly, "Miss Xiao plans to open a sugar store?"

There is nothing to hide about this matter, Xiao Jinyue nodded and said, "There is such a plan."

"Your sugar shop is also going to sell those cane sugar, caramel, cane pulp and the like?"

Although Xiao Jinyue was a little surprised that the prince, who usually looked indifferent, was curious about her opening a sugar shop, he didn't ask much.

Shaking his head, he said, "No, I don't plan to sell those candies. I have made some new varieties. If your son likes them, I will ask my eldest brother to send you some for you to taste after my workshop is built."

After hearing this, Lu Chengting said unexpectedly, "Build a workshop? Are you planning to mass produce?"

"There is such a plan."

"The new breed you developed is very good?"

Listening to his careful questioning, Xiao Jinyue didn't hide anything, "It's okay, I heard that the candy I developed doesn't exist in Kyoto, so it's the only one."

I thought she was just idle and bored, opening a small shop to pass the time and earn some money for rouge and gouache. From this point of view, it was more than that.

Lu Chengting frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and said, "Do you know that Taishenglong's company is an imperial merchant, and their company's sugar is dedicated to the tribute palace, and all the surplus is sold to those noble houses."

"I know this. Originally, I wanted to get some cane sugar from Tai Shenglong, but unfortunately they didn't have any."

After a pause, Xiao Jinyue continued, "Are you worried that I will confront Tai Shenglong?"

Lu Chengting glanced at her lightly, not too stupid, "As far as I know, the master behind Tai Shenglong is Ning Guogong."

Duke Ning?
Xiao Jinyue frowned. She guessed that Tai Shenglong's boss was not simple, but she didn't expect that it would be Ning Guogong, who had great power.

Seeing her tangled face, she thinks she has understood how powerful her opponent is.

After thinking about it, Lu Chengting still said, "I heard from Prince Nan'an that Princess Nan'an likes sweets, but she often suffers from headaches and can't buy sucrose. Aren't you and the chief of Minghua County? If you can get her to open a sugar shop together, With the Nan'an Palace as your backer, not to mention your sugar store running sideways in the capital, at least if you want to open the store safely, it is still possible to earn some money for rouge and gouache."

"I understand, thank you for your proposal. After the workshop is built and new sugar is produced, let my elder brother give a copy to the son as a thank you gift."

Xiao Jinyue thanked him for his blessing, no matter what the Duke of Zhen thinks, being able to tell her about the owner behind Tai Shenglong, and suggesting that she take Nan'an Palace as a backer, can be regarded as a great help to her, and she deserves her thanks .

Lu Chengting glanced at her lightly, "No need, I don't like sweets."

The reason why I mentioned her was just for her to detoxify him, to give him some casual pointers.

"It's done, we can set off for Beijing."

Over there Xiao Haoqing came back with the guards, Young Master Lian was supported by the guards and followed behind, his face looked even paler than before, presumably because he felt uncomfortable seeing those dead guards.

This place is in the wilderness, so I can't pay so much attention to it. In addition, he is worried that those killers will come back again. That Mr. Lian can only ask Xiao Haoqing's guards to dig a big hole, and take those murdered guards and stewards. Bury them hastily in a big pit, and then find an opportunity to move them back to their hometown for burial.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at Mr. Lian who was about to pass out. In his condition, if he followed them on horseback and returned to Beijing, he might collapse again before halfway.

Xiao Jinyue didn't want to waste the detoxification pills and wound medicines she had finally prepared, so she had no choice but to say to Xiao Haoqing, "Brother, Bai Guo and I will ride back to Beijing on horseback. Let Mr. Lian and the guards sit in the carriage."

Xiao Haoqing also saw that Mr. Lian was supported by the guards, so naturally he couldn't ride a horse like this, so he nodded in agreement.

Even the son saw that the girl gave up the carriage for him, felt very sorry, and wanted to refuse.In the end, Xiao Haoqing couldn't bear to see him, he thought his mother-in-law was disgusting, so he stepped forward and couldn't help but push him onto the carriage.

Young Master Lian sighed in his heart and didn't refuse any more. He could only think about waiting for him to recover before trying to repay him well.

Due to this delay, the group of people hurried to hurry, it was getting dark, and they didn't catch up to return to Beijing.

I had to spend another night outside the city.

The city gate was right in front of them, so they didn't have to hurry, they just slept well outside the city.

The next day, the sun was three poles high, and everyone got up slowly.

After eating, I packed up again and set off for the city.

Xiao Jinyue was in a good mood after returning from this trip full of rewards.

After entering the city, Xiao Jinyue rode a horse and walked slowly on the street. Xiao Jinyue took the opportunity to appreciate the atmosphere of Kyoto.

There are not many opportunities to travel with a girl like this. Bai Guo rode a horse and followed her, excited along the way, chatting non-stop to share what he had seen and heard along the way with Xiao Jinyue.

Xiao Jinyue looked at the various small stalls on both sides of the road with relish, and answered a few words from time to time.

Xiao Haoqing followed behind with a group of guards not too far away.

Not long after Zhen Guogong's son entered the city, he seemed to have met an acquaintance, and was stopped by someone halfway to greet him. Xiao Haoqing only glanced at him casually and didn't care too much.

Turning his head and leading the guards, he slowly followed Xiao Jinyue in front.

Xiao Jinyue was looking away from a mask stand, and from the corner of her eye, she saw a girl who seemed to be bumping towards her horse, so she quickly pulled the rein and steered the horse away from the girl.

But a maid from behind rushed over at this moment, supported the girl, and opened her mouth to question Xiao Jinyue.

"Hey, why do you ride a horse? You don't have eyes. You almost bumped into my girl."

Xiao Jinyue took a closer look and frowned. How could I meet this pair of master and servant everywhere?

Hearing the voice, Bai Guo turned his head, saw that it was He Wanying's master and servant again, immediately got angry, put his hips on his horse and said angrily, "Who the hell doesn't have eyes, my girl is riding here and shopping, obviously It’s your girl who deliberately ran into my girl’s horse from a long distance away. I didn’t blame you for walking without eyes, but you even beat her back.”

While talking, Bai Guo sat on the horse, glanced He Wanying's master and servant up and down, and then said disdainfully, "Why, you are short of money, can't you try to blackmail my girl? Open your dog eyes to see clearly, we are not just Foreigners who come to Beijing can be blackmailed by you at will!"
