Chapter 211 There is always something higher than interests

Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion, the top brothel in the capital.

When Xia Jingyun and Chen Fugui came to the brightly lit gate, the old bustard immediately lit up and greeted them warmly.

The majestic chest was pressed against Xia Jingyun's arm, and the strong and uncommon smell of top-grade cosmetic powder invaded the nose, and he said with a tired smile: "Oh, this is not Mr. Xia! This is the first time you come to our Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion, so you must have a good time! For all consumption tonight, we only charge [-]% for Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion!"

As expected of the No. [-] brothel in the capital, this intelligence capability alone surpassed the rest of the forces in Beijing.

But unfortunately, their intelligence cannot know Xia Jingyun's real purpose.

Xia Jingyun felt the softness coming from his arm, his expression was indifferent, showing no joy or anger, and he showed the air of a top nobleman in Beijing. He glanced around and asked indifferently: "Is Young Master Qin here?"

The old bustard smiled and said: "Young Master Qin, wait for the time to come, it just happens to be a coincidence today."

Xia Jingyun nodded, "What about Mr. Qian?"

The old bustard did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Mr. Qian has only arrived not long ago."

Xia Jingyun said directly: "Take me there."

The old bustard nodded, turned her hips and walked in front.

It's not disrespect, it's too much respect.

Xia Jingyun didn't look directly at her, and followed the bustard all the way around a few turns in the brightly lit backyard, and came to a room with charming silk and bamboo.

Xia Jingyun threw out a silver coin, "I'll call you again if necessary."

The old bustard accepted it with a smile, but after Xia Jingyun opened the door to enter, he stood aside, wanting to make sure if there was any problem inside.

The door was opened abruptly, Qin Yuwen frowned, and was about to explode, but he saw the face of the person coming.

"It's you?"

Xia Jingyun sat down directly opposite him, and Chen Fugui helped close the door.

"I would like to ask you a question."

With such an attitude, Qin Yuwen's brows were locked again, and his expression was a little unhappy.

"Why did you go to the Fenghe Pavilion today? I asked the people in the Fenghe Pavilion, you have never been there, what is the reason, did you suddenly go there?"

Qin Yuwen's face turned cold, "Xia Gaoyang, did you take the wrong medicine? Where is my son going, do I still need to report to you?"

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "Mr. Qian, I hope you can answer truthfully. This answer is very important to me, and even more important to you."

"Tch!" Qin Yuwen laughed angrily, "Xia Gaoyang, don't think that you have a goddamn righteous sister who dares to talk to me like this. How many generations of descendants of the Qin family, queens and queen mothers have come out, you are a fart!"

"Hey!" Xia Jingyun sighed, but did not get angry, "Ning Bing redeemed herself today, and found me to help, and the steward of the Fenghe Hall also looked at my face, and let her go. However, this is such a person who is about to become a good man, who is full of longing for a clean life in the future, and was forced to jump off the building by your people. I came here to ask, is this matter your order?"

Seeing Xia Jingyun's suppressed anger and questioning tone, Qin Yuwen became more and more upset, and didn't even bother to explain, "So what? Do you still want to avenge her?"

Xia Jingyun was still neither happy nor angry, "If it's someone under his command who committed evil, then hand him over. Whether it's the law or lynching, there must be an explanation. If it's your own intention, then I'm going to collect debts from you."

Qin Yuwen's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a bit of deep puzzlement on his face, even a little bit of astonishment, "Xia Gaoyang, are you really out of your mind? You want to be my enemy for a lowly prostitute? Do you have a brain?"

An oiran who was drinking with Qin Yuwen beside him also understood Xia Jingyun's identity and the grievances between the two of them. She has always been clever and decided to give it a go. She bravely smiled and smoothed things over, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Qian is right, you two are big shots, Mr. Noble, why bother to settle for trivial matters?"

"To shut up!"

"To shut up!"

Two reprimands came from Qin Yuwen and Xia Jingyun at the same time.

Qin Yuwen stared coldly, "You have something to say?"

Xia Jingyun sneered, "An insignificant matter? Or did it come from someone who is also a brothel girl? It's really ironic!"

"A girl like you, who was reduced to a brothel due to various circumstances, has now come to her senses and decided to be a good person. She has been a clean person since then, and on the eve of leaving with full of longing, she was forced to commit suicide by jumping off a building to keep her innocence. Do you think this is a trivial matter?"

Xia Jingyun looked at Qin Yuwen again and said, "Do you know that she used to entertain people with sex just like them, and she was immersed in the vanity of beauty and other people's spending a lot of money for her, but she understood that life can't be lived like this, and she also knows the meaning of not being self-deprecating. Therefore, when she was in the limelight, she decided to use all her hard-earned savings to redeem herself. Even if she lives poor and lonely in the future, she can still live well Dignity. But everything was ruined by you!"

"Do you know that after receiving my reply, she tossed and turned all night, looking forward to another new life. She and her maid once imagined where to live in the future, what to do for a living, and to adopt some poor girls like her and change their fate. But all of this was ruined by you!"

"do you know"

"Enough!" Young Master Qian yelled, interrupting Xia Jingyun's words, "Xia Jingyun, did you give me a face? What right do you have to say these things to me here? I really don't dare to deal with you?"

"Look, you really don't know, and you really don't want to know, because in your eyes, people are divided into three, six, and nine grades. People below you are inferior to you in personality. In front of you, they don't even have the qualification to talk to you on an equal footing."

Xia Jingyun sneered, "As for those with lower status, life and death are not as important to you as the glass of wine in front of you."

"Xia Jingyun, let me warn you for the last time, don't do anything you regret! The Qin family is not something you can afford to offend!"

"If you offend, what can you do?"

Xia Jingyun smiled even wider, "Do you know that in my eyes, there is no difference between you and Ning Bing, and even in my eyes, she is more like a person than you!"

"Xia Jingyun!"

Qin Yuwen, who has been told by the elders of the family since he was a child to calm down, stay safe, and not easily get involved in the strife between the court and China, could no longer bear this kind of humiliation, and complained, "I want you to regret what you did today! I want you to beg me on your knees!"

"I am waiting."

Xia Jingyun sneered, then turned and left.

Walking outside the door, looking at the bustard standing far away, Xia Jingyun took out a 100 tael silver bill from his bosom and put it in her bosom, "Sorry."

The old bustard was stunned, but immediately overjoyed regardless.

Seeing Xia Jingyun leave, Qin Yuwen's face turned livid after being ridiculed face to face.

His entourage quickly knelt down, "My lord, it's my subordinates who are ineffective, please punish me!"

Qin Yuwen said coldly: "It's none of your business, just go away."

Holding the cup, his expression sank, "Go and call the manager here."

Soon, a middle-aged man with dark circles walked in, who was obviously drained by wine, and said respectfully, "Mr. Qian."

"Who told Xia Jingyun that I was here just now?"

The middle-aged man was startled, and immediately said: "Young one, let's find out."

It also didn't take much time before the old bustard was brought into the room.

As soon as she heard that she was going to question the crime, she quickly complained, shouting that she really didn't know that the other party was here to find fault, which made Qin Yuwen wave her hand impatiently, "Twenty palms, take it down."

The old bustard's cheeks were swollen from the slap, and his eyes were full of stars. He finally understood the meaning of Xia Jingyun's apology and the bank note.

When Xia Jingyun and Chen Fugui returned safely, everyone in the Hou Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yuanshang also arranged for Ning Bing's body to find a place for Lu Yi, and place it properly, and it will be safe to bury it in a few days.

The former maidservant, now younger sister Ying'er, insisted on going to protect her, so Xia Jingyun let her go too.

The expected violent storm did not come, but since the hatred was forged, things would not end so easily.

What should come will always come, but no one expected that Qin Yuwen's shots would be so steady and ruthless.

The next morning, just as the Marquis of Jiang'an's mansion just woke up, several shopkeepers from the street in the city under the management of Defei's family came over together.

"Mr. Gongsun, someone from the Qin family came early this morning and asked us to settle last year's supply account and let us deliver within three days. How can we get so much money at once!"

"That's right. In the past, the money was only spent at the end of spring. During the New Year's Eve, we distributed all the cash. Those who should be paid should be paid, and those who should be ordered should be ordered. Now this is not finding fault!"

"At the beginning, it was written in the contract that the settlement would be settled in the next year, but the industry rules were all at the end of spring. Why is the Qin family going against us?"

"Mr. Gongsun, in our jewelry shop, the Qin family directly bought out the few raw materials ordered at a high price, but there are only five days left in the delivery period. If they can't be delivered on time, my shop alone will have to pay at least a few thousand taels of silver!"

Gongsun Jing felt dizzy when he heard that, just as he asked them to be quiet for a while, several stewards of the Zhuangzi outside the city also hurriedly stood in front of the mansion.

"Mr. Gongsun, someone from the Qin family suddenly came last night and said that this year's melons, fruits and vegetables will not be collected for the time being. The money for breaking the contract will be paid within one month as agreed. But you also know that in order to make more money, we collect all the agricultural products near us, including chickens, ducks and poultry, and resell them to the Qin family to make a difference. Now he doesn't give us money, but we have to give money to these farmers and Zhuangzi!"

"Yes, they lost money according to the contract, but the water far away can't quench their thirst, and the daily expenses alone are huge. How can we deal with ourselves?"

"Mr. Gongsun, you have an idea!"

Gongsun Jing's head was buzzing when he heard it, and the consequences he was most worried about finally appeared.

The Qin family showed their deep background as the world's richest man. If they make a casual move, it will be thunderous, hitting seven inches straight.

How can the young master deal with this level?

No matter how powerful he is, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice for this matter of money, right?

He was sitting a little sluggishly, while the shopkeeper and the Zhuangzi below were arguing in a chaotic mess, just like the last court that was chaotic like headless flies when the soldiers were approaching the city.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded, "Don't worry, everyone, I will handle this matter!"

Accompanied by the sound, Xia Jingyun walked into the main hall slowly wearing a green shirt.
