Chapter 267 Confessing Identity
"I know." Zhu Mingqing blinked and said without hesitation, "It's because you're so powerful that I want to bribe you."
Wen Baolu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She said cold words of bribery, but waved her hand and gave away the shop, so she became the lady.
Suddenly, a variety of discussions were heard from the next door. The central topic was who the Ming family was and whether the cooperation could be successful.
The voices were not loud at first, but as they continued to talk, they became so loud that it seemed as if they were about to pierce the sky, and it was impossible for Zhu Mingqing and Wen Baolu not to hear them.
"Baolu, I'll leave these things to you. I believe you can handle it. As for these dozens of shops, they can be opened as soon as possible. If you need money or staff, just tell me. We must ensure that the people can eat our fruits and vegetables as soon as possible." Zhu Mingqing explained some of the subsequent scattered matters. "Then I will return to Guancheng tomorrow. You are alone. Is it okay?"
Wen Baolu said helplessly: "Madam, you are so confident in handing over such a large number of shops to me."
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "Of course I'm relieved. After all, Baozhong is still waiting for you in Guancheng."
Wen Baolu: ...
"Madam, you're here again!"
Zhu Mingqing smiled. These days, no one believes the truth.
The next day, Zhu Mingqing couldn't wait to leave, but Wen Baolu, who stayed behind, was busy like a top.
The Ming family's strong entry reminded people of the rumors during the flood. When Mr. Feng San heard that the Ming family had also come to Jizhou, he wanted to find someone to chop them up immediately.
Wen Baolu had experienced so much and was no pushover. He sent people to secretly spread the news that Mr. Feng Sanye and Governor Liang had a close relationship, which scared the other party so much that he packed up his bags and headed straight for Yangzhou City in three days.
I don’t even go back to my home in Beijing, and I don’t plan to go back for another three to five years.
There were many such incidents, but Wen Baolu countered them all.
Wen Baolu also used money to establish connections with some important figures. For a time, everyone knew that the Ming family was not someone to be trifled with.
Even though he wanted to know the details of the Ming family, he didn't want to get involved. So Jizhou formed a tacit understanding: as long as you don't infringe on my interests, I won't interfere.
It took half a month before everything was settled.
…
When Zhu Mingqing returned to Guancheng, the first good news he received was that Wang Tongpan was expected to be promoted!
"The Liang family is busy with their own affairs. Just wait a few more days and you'll achieve your goal!" Luo Tingshan said slowly. Seeing that her expression seemed calm, he asked curiously, "Are you unhappy?"
Zhu Mingqing poured him a cup of tea and said, "You've been feeling much better lately."
Seeing that she avoided answering, Luo Tingshan's eyes flashed with helplessness. She was indeed very wary!
"Thanks to you, you invited Dr. Hua for me and took care of my three meals a day. Now I can go out."
Zhu Mingqing asked again, "That evil girl is still being held captive by you? This isn't very nice, as she was your savior after all."
If he was so stubborn and cruel to his savior, let alone her who was no different from a stranger.
Recently, with the success of this cooperation, Zhu Mingqing has gained a deeper understanding of this great general.
He was calm, composed, strategic, and never leaked any information.
But his sense of responsibility was a bit too strong. He was obsessed with the deaths of those soldiers and believed that if the court had not targeted him, there might not have been this result today.
"You misunderstood!" Luo Tingshan frowned, not wanting to explain, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "I didn't restrict the evil girl's freedom, I just didn't allow her to enter certain courtyards!"
"Also, I thought that after working together once, we could be honest with each other. You know what I mean. I am revealing my identity as a gesture of utmost sincerity!" Luo Tingshan's eyes were deep. "Can you tell me where the Zhu family is?"
The afternoon sun shone on his shoulders, reflecting bits of light. All that was left around him was the quiet sound of breathing. The other person's gaze shot over like a substance, leaving no room for retreat, and was overwhelming.
It conveys the message that "if you don't say it, no one can leave this house."
Zhu Mingqing drank a sip of tea as if to cover up. The other party was issuing an ultimatum!
But if I tell him my true identity, have I prepared for the worst? What if...
"Qingqing, I think you've fallen into a misunderstanding." The little world spirit's voice echoed in his mind. "If he reveals your identity, then hide him in the Immortal Residence and never let him out again. For a mortal, being able to live in an Immortal Residence is something they would only dream of."
The little world spirit is very arrogant.
Zhu Mingqing was speechless!
"Also, if you're afraid of being discovered, turn him into a puppet..." The little world spirit spoke in a scattered manner, and finally concluded succinctly: "Anyone who dares to harm you, I will kill him directly!"
Zhu Mingqing swallowed and replied in his heart: "It's not good to keep fighting and killing."
The little world spirit was puzzled. "What's wrong with that? The strong prey on the weak. I'm stronger than others. If anyone dares to provoke me, I'll make him die!"
Zhu Mingqing coughed lightly: "This is not very civilized."
"Qingqing, you're just too civilized. That's why those people dare to bully you again and again." The little world spirit spoke earnestly, and also talked about some things in the world of cultivation. "It's human nature to enjoy life. Qingqing, you have me and the immortal palace. These are powers beyond this world. Why do you still stick to the rules?"
Seeing that it was going off topic, Zhu Mingqing quickly brought the subject back: "Okay, I know you're amazing, but this isn't the world of cultivation. Stop those thoughts!"
She wants to silence people at every turn. Even if she has a cold heart, she is not so heartless.
“Knock knock.”
The sound of fingers tapping on the table brought Zhu Mingqing back to reality. He looked up at the man who was looking confused. He might be in poor health, as there was a hint of illness on his face, but it did not affect his handsome and resolute face at all.
There is no doubt that this is a responsible and charming man.
"Ma'am, have you thought about it?"
Even his voice was firm, just like his colleagues in his previous life, it was the confidence and commitment of a soldier.
Zhu Mingqing said strategically, "No matter what the answer is, you won't mention it to anyone. This is the premise."
Luo Tingshan frowned: "Your parents can't do it either?"
"Yes, no one except you!"
Zhu Mingqing's expression was serious, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with a seriousness and determination that had never been seen before. "If you break your promise, don't blame me."
Luo Tingshan was silent for a while, then slowly replied with a "OK".
"Actually, I'm Zhu Mingqing." Her tone softened, and she brushed off her own affairs. "From a certain perspective, I'm just borrowing this body to continue living. I haven't taken over your wife's body or done anything to harm her. After all, when I woke up, the owner of this body had already hanged himself."
