Chapter 376 My Family Owns a Money Exchange
Lu Yangyang: "..."
nerve.
Doing business with Sheng Junyi meant she not only had to worry about being scammed, but also about encountering a shady business.
Lu Yangyang was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. Sheng Junyi always did things as he pleased. Who knew when he would suddenly have a whim and do something?
Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes and walked past him.
But after walking a few steps, she stopped and turned around. "Just give him a message: tell Grandpa to get well soon and let him know that our generation will walk our own path."
Sheng Junyi blinked lightly, her eyes sparkling with laughter: "I'll give you a 30% discount!"
Lu Yangyang turned her head and left without looking back.
Sheng Junyi shook his head and chuckled.
Wen Qingqing jogged to catch up with Lu Yangyang, glancing back at Sheng Junyi who was still standing there every now and then, and asked Lu Yangyang curiously, "Do you know that hero? Is his martial arts very high? Is he going to roam the martial arts world in the future? What is the martial arts world like?"
Lu Yangyang: "...Wait a minute, what did you call him?"
Wen Qingqing exclaimed excitedly, "Great hero! You have no idea! Last night, I was hiding in the shadows, watching him effortlessly and casually take down several boat captains, strangle that salt smuggler Master Chen, and force Master Wei to stand in a tense standoff for half the night without daring to move! And that's not even the strongest part! The strongest part is that he did it all by himself! All by himself! Appearing out of nowhere on those ships and taking care of hundreds of people on those ships! If it weren't for that, the boss and his men would have been trapped like turtles in a jar, caught in a pincer attack with nowhere to run! What else could someone so powerful be but a great hero? It's a pity I've never been to the martial world, nor have I heard of his illustrious reputation. It's just like the stories my mother told me about heroes and heroines of the martial world—full of ups and downs! Absolutely thrilling! But as soon as I asked who he was, he completely captivated me with his words and I forgot what I wanted to ask… So how did you two meet? Can you tell me?"
Lu Yangyang: "...Have you been reading too many storybooks?"
Wen Qingqing quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, I can't stand those vulgar stories. The stories my mother tells are much more exciting than those stories, tens of thousands of times more exciting than those storytellers in the city. It's a pity she went to sea, and I don't know when I'll see her again. I'll ask her to tell you some stories when I have the chance."
Lu Yangyang: "..."
Wen Qingqing shook her arm: "You still haven't told me how you met him? Is he one of those legendary reclusive heroes in the martial arts world?"
Lu Yangyang's lips twitched slightly: "He's not a chivalrous hero from the martial arts world, he's a fox demon from a storybook. He specializes in eating the hearts and livers of naive and easily deceived little fairy doctors like you to cultivate, which is why his martial arts are so high. So you'd better stay away from him in the future, otherwise he'll sell you out and you'll still be counting money for him like an idiot."
Wen Qingqing's hair stood on end: "No, no way? Then, is he a nine-tailed fox?"
Lu Yangyang: "...Tell me honestly, your mother's profession is writing storybooks, right? Ghosts, monsters, and immortals?"
Wen Qingqing quickly shook her head: "No, my mother is a businesswoman, so my family is very wealthy. If you ever run out of money, just tell me, and I'll take care of you."
Lu Yangyang slowly looked at Wen Qingqing. She originally thought that this was a disciple of a reclusive master who was wandering the world, but she didn't expect that he was a rich kid experiencing life. No wonder he was so naive and innocent.
She grabbed Wen Qingqing's hand: "Sister, can you lend me some money?"
She was worried because she couldn't contact Lüyao. Even if she had the money, she couldn't get it. Sure enough, there's a reason why a naive and innocent girl would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Is this a naive and innocent girl? No, she's a God of Wealth! She'll borrow it first and pay it back later.
Wen Qingqing, the naive and sweet-talking woman who is also a money-maker, patted her chest and said generously, "Name your price. My family owns the money exchange. How much do you want?"
Lu Yangyang: "?"
Is this a script she can understand?
In a daze, Lu Yangyang led Wen Qingqing away from the salt mine and went to Ning County with Jiang Xun.
As soon as they entered Ning County, the people arranged by Jiang Zhiyi came and took them to Baihualou, where Jiang Zhiyi was waiting for them.
Upon seeing Lu Yangyang and the others arrive, Jiang Zhiyi hurriedly came over and asked Lu Yangyang in a low voice, "Are you hungry, Miss? Would you like to rest and have something to eat? I've already asked someone to prepare a room."
Lu Yangyang gave her a big hug: "Hurry up, I'm starving."
From yesterday until now, she has not only had no time to rest, but also no time to drink water. She is starving.
Jiang Zhiyi chuckled and said softly, "Please come with me, young lady."
Then he said to Jiang Xun, "Brother, the person has been captured. He's in the top-tier private room upstairs. I happened to run into Miss Xiaolian when I arrived. She said that Yangyang had already dealt with those two people, so I took advantage of the situation and had my guards controlled and the Hundred Flowers Pavilion sealed off."
Lu Yangyang turned to Jiang Xun and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
Jiang Xun quickly smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, you all get some rest."
Lu Yangyang followed Jiang Zhiyi and turned to leave. Then she remembered something. "There's an accountant named Lu Wei by Magistrate Liang's side. He's an acquaintance of mine. I got the account books last night thanks to him. So if you need anything when you're interrogating Magistrate Liang, you can ask him."
Jiang Xun cupped his hands and chuckled, "I really got all this credit for nothing. You guys really arranged everything perfectly."
Lu Yangyang waved her hand and pulled Wen Qingqing and Jiang Zhiyi to the room she had arranged.
The door closed, and Lu Yangyang asked Jiang Zhiyi, "Have all the people been settled?"
Jiang Zhiyi nodded: "I had someone wake up that Su Mama. She provided a spacious and secluded manor, which she used to collect sick women from all over the prefectures and counties. When I took her there, there were still more than twenty sick women inside. Originally, they were planned to be sent there after a batch of people died at the salt mines in the next few days. These girls were not only sent there for the salt workers to vent their frustrations, but also for another purpose. They opened charitable halls in various places, and under the guise of taking in these girls, they asked the government and those charitable merchants for resettlement money, and then sent them to the salt mines under the pretext of marriage. In this way, they could make another fortune from these girls, and they would not find out that they were infected with venereal diseases, because they were all dealt with in time."
"No one cared about the life or death of a few brothel girls, so they did this business for several years. Although it wasn't as profitable as selling smuggled salt, they managed to cultivate relationships with brothels all over the country without spending a penny. They also secretly used the brothels to win over many wealthy merchants, giving them preferential treatment and making a fortune by selling smuggled salt in secret."
"The chain of events is intricate, but the lives of those girls are worthless."
