Chapter 148 Wait and see
In short, the outside world is quite peaceful, and there is no suppression by outsiders.
Come to think of it, last time, Shopkeeper Song from Mingyuxuan and Captain Guo teamed up to cause trouble in front of Huibin Building, Lord Ye handled the matter impartially on the surface, but anyone with a keen eye could see that he was very biased, so naturally they would not come to Huibin Building to cause trouble again and run into trouble.
Su Yujin nodded after hearing this, "That's good."
"But in the past few days, I heard that Qinghe County seems to be interested in establishing a chamber of commerce. They are asking various industries to compile a list. It is estimated that it will take about a month, so I am thinking of gathering the shop owners of various shops to prepare for this matter."
Wu Jiantong said, "The term Chamber of Commerce is quite new. I asked around and it seems that this has been popular in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas for two or three years. It is said that businessmen unite to resist natural disasters and help each other. Secondly, many things can be coordinated and mediated. Thirdly, they can unite to deal with some taxes and levies of the court."
"It sounds like there are a lot of benefits. The business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is booming and they highly praise this. Maybe it's because of this that Qinghe County is also thinking about following suit."
"The main person who took the initiative to advocate this matter was the eldest son of the Feng family. In addition, Madam Zhou of the Zhou family has come forward to express her approval. Manager Yun of Yunzhizhai is very active and is running around to make connections."
"The Feng family is engaged in tea and cloth business in Qinghe County. If we talk about it, they are the richest family in the entire Qinghe County. It would be prestigious and legitimate for them to take the lead in this matter."
Su Yujin said, "After the establishment of this Chamber of Commerce, there will probably be some benefits. As for whether there are more benefits or more disadvantages, it depends on the actual situation. It is hard to say at the moment. Since someone is doing this, our Huibinlou and Suji are just small businesses, so we just follow them."
Wait and see what happens, then talk about other things.
"Miss, what you said is absolutely right. That's what I meant as well." Wu Jiantong nodded. "Then if the Feng family or Shopkeeper Yun comes again in the next two days, I will sign the joint letter. But if we have to get together to discuss things, it would be better for you to go and take a look."
After all, he is the boss. Even if Su Yujin trusts him, he still cannot make decisions on many things on his own, especially new things like this. He has to see what Su Yujin thinks so that he can do things according to her principles in the future.
"Well, Manager Wu, come with me to take a look at the scene."
It was still early to talk about the Chamber of Commerce, and there was no point in talking about it too much after knowing it, so Su Yujin continued to talk about the Huibin Building with Wu Jiantong and Zheng Mingyuan.
Having not seen each other for a long time, they couldn't stop talking. They chatted until the kitchen started to prepare dinner, and then they went their separate ways.
The sun was setting. Su Yujin had been busy all day and felt a little tired. She went back and asked Mama Liu and Ai Cao to prepare some simple meals for her.
He Yanxiu was having dinner in the capital at this time.
It was not in the He Mansion, but in a restaurant in the capital.
A pot of the best Zhuangyuanhong tea, some delicious meals, and sitting by the window.
The window was wide open, and He Yanxiu's figure could be just seen from the teahouse opposite. The people on the opposite side were probably curious about why He Yanxiu was drinking and eating alone, so they kept looking over here.
If it were an ordinary person eating, he would probably be quite fussy and even ask someone to close the windows. But at this moment, He Yanxiu didn't seem to care. He even looked in a good mood. He picked up the chopsticks and ate heartily, taking a few sips of wine from time to time.
When he was in high spirits after drinking, he even looked for a singing girl in the restaurant and asked her to bring her pipa and sing to entertain him.
When the people in the teahouse saw this scene, they couldn't help but sneer.
The master also said that He Yanxiu was cunning and difficult to deal with, but now it seems that he is just a person who relies on his family background, has no ambition to make progress, and only knows how to seek pleasure.
Even if you have some skills, they won't be much.
At this moment, in the backyard of the restaurant, two people dressed in black clothes and black robes led horses from the backyard, turned into a small alley from the back door, and left in a hurry.
When they rode their horse all the way to a deserted place, Xing'an took off the black robe covering his head and breathed a sigh of relief, "Second Master, how did you know that someone was following us just now?"
"Since I entered the capital, someone has been following me." He Yanxiu narrowed his eyes, "But since they are willing to follow me, then let them follow me."
The person drinking and having fun in the restaurant at this time was just a secret guard with a body shape very similar to He Yanxiu. His face was slightly modified and he wore He Yanxiu's clothes. From the teahouse across the street, it was not easy to tell him apart because of the flickering lights at night.
In addition, a person who looks similar to Xing'an is assigned to guard the scene, making it seem even more realistic.
As the Second Master said, if they are willing to follow, then they can follow and stay there for half the night. Things here will be almost settled.
Xing'an chuckled and swung the whip in his hand.
The horses were passing through the alleys in the dark night. Suddenly, a man in black clothes leaped over their heads, turned back after a moment, borrowed strength from an extremely tall poplar tree, and finally landed in front of He Yanxiu and Xing'an.
"Master." Shi Ding bowed.
He Yanxiu pulled the reins, "What's going on?"
"As the master expected, the man has found a flaw, attacked the guards, and fled. He is currently heading west of the city. Shuangchuan and others have followed him, leaving marks along the way to facilitate tracking."
"Go." He Yanxiu squeezed the horse's belly.
The three dark shadows followed the marks along the way, walking and stopping all the way, and headed towards the west of the city.
Here, Qiao Gan, who was already disheveled, ragged, and covered with scars, was walking quickly towards the west of the city, stopping from time to time to see if anyone was following him.
When he was sure that no one was following him, he breathed a sigh of relief and without stopping, he just walked quickly along the alley.
After walking like this for another quarter of an hour, Qiao Gan turned into an even more inconspicuous alley, stopped at the fifth door in the alley, and knocked on the door.
He paused after two strokes, and paused twice after three strokes. He repeated this three times before Qiao Gan stopped.
After a while, the door creaked open and the short and fat Wei San poked his head out. When he saw that it was Qiao Gan, he was stunned for a moment, "Qiao Gan?"
"It's me." Qiao Gan nodded hurriedly, "I just escaped."
He added, "There is no tail behind him."
Wei San looked around and saw that there was indeed no movement or human figure, so he hurriedly let the person in and quickly closed the door.
After entering the room, Qiao Gan could no longer hold on and sat down on the ground, leaning against the door. "Uncle, please ask a doctor to come and take a look at me."
Wei San frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then helped him up, "You go in first, I'll go find a doctor."
I have to tell my master about it right away.
It's the last day of November. Tomorrow is a new month and a new hope. So, let's reserve tickets for next month. If the tickets are considerable, I will try to be as diligent as possible next month! (End of this chapter)
