Tianlang Escort Agency.
"I don't want to get a needle! All of you get out!"
Biaozi stared at the golden needles in Lu Qiqi's hand, curled up on the bed. He was over seven feet tall, and the fear in his eyes was as if he had been persecuted.
Gu Shaoqing stood aside, coaxing her gently, "If you're a good girl, let the county princess treat your illness. Later, I'll take you to eat flatbread. The freshly baked flatbread smells so tempting."
Biaozi's eyes lit up when he heard Dabing's voice, but when he saw Lu Qiqi's face, he felt a deep-seated aversion to the acupuncture treatment and forcefully suppressed his desire for it.
He hugged his knees and looked at Lu Qiqi warily, afraid that the golden needles in Lu Qiqi's hand would suddenly appear on his body.
The room was filled with people dawdling around, and after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu Shaoqing still hadn't managed to persuade Biaozi.
Lu Qiqi's last bit of patience hadn't completely worn off. She looked at the nineteenth disciple beside her and said, "Let's do it."
Nineteen nodded and took a few steps forward, knocking Biaozi unconscious with a karate chop.
Gu Shaoqing stood there dumbfounded when he saw how Nineteen solved the problem in such a simple and straightforward way.
Without wasting any time, Lu Qiqi quickly disinfected the golden needles again before inserting them into Biaozi's head.
Although the best time to treat Biaozi's symptoms with the Ghost Needle is when he is conscious.
But if he doesn't cooperate, it won't work. It's better to just knock him unconscious and let her administer the acupuncture.
Half an hour later, Lu Qiqi put away the needles.
Then, she took out the prescription she had prepared earlier and handed it to Gu Shaoqing, saying, "Get the medicine according to the prescription, and then boil it with the medicine I brought."
Gu Shaoqing took the prescription and expressed a torrent of thanks.
Having expressed gratitude, it's time to get down to business.
Gu Shaoqing glanced at Biaozi lying on the bed before turning to Lu Qiqi and asking, "How can we tell if Biaozi's condition is treatable?"
Lu Qiqi explained, "Biaozi lives with you, and only those who know him well know that he has a childlike nature. Others rarely notice that he is sick."
If the blood clot in his brain dissipates after he finishes this medicine, he will be able to recall some things from his childhood.
You can use this as a medium to make your judgment.
However, his condition has persisted for many years, and a quick cure won't be easy; it will require time and patience.
Gu Shaoqing gave a knowing, bitter smile. "I was too eager for quick results. Biaozi's illness hasn't improved over the years."
Now that we know there's a cure, we wish we could take the medicine today and be better tomorrow.
Lu Qiqi understood his thoughts. Who wouldn't hope that a loved one who has been ill for a long time could recover?
This is why some people search for all sorts of secret remedies and recklessly put them in their mouths.
Biaozi's room was not a good place to talk, so the three of them went out to the council pavilion, leaving Biaozi alone in the room to rest.
The three entered the attic and took their seats as host and guest. Soon after, someone brought three cups of tea to the table.
Gu Shaoqing walked to the shelf behind the desk, picked up a wooden box, and quickly presented it to Lu Qiqi.
“These are all orders received in the past two days. The quantity is enormous. I have carefully checked the delivery locations, and they are all paper mills of varying sizes.”
At this point, Gu Shaoqing raised a question, "Princess, what exactly are these people planning?"
These people all own paper mills, so why would they need to spend money to buy paper?
Since ancient times, people have grown rice and eaten rice, and grown beans and eaten beans. Tianlang Escort Agency is in the business of escorting goods, so it does not spend money to hire people to escort goods for the agency.
Gu Shaoqing really couldn't understand what the paper mill in the capital was up to!
Lu Qiqi had a vague suspicion, but since the Minister of Revenue had not actually taken any action, there was no way to completely prevent it.
After all, business still needs to be done. Since the Minister of Revenue is willing to do this, he can't really do a business that loses money.
It's better to put the money in your pocket first and then observe the other party's actions.
Lu Qiqi said, "Regardless of what they're going to do, just have the brothers from Tianlang Escort Agency deliver the orders on time."
If anything happens, I'll be there to protect you; there won't be any problems.
Furthermore, these orders have already been paid for at 70% of the value. Even if they back out at the last minute, we only need to provide the goods for 70% of the value, and we will also deduct the cost of transporting the goods.
Even if it goes to the authorities, we have a written purchase contract.
Even the highest-ranking officials in the capital have to stand up for us.
Seeing her confident demeanor, Gu Shaoqing's concerns lessened.
"In that case, I will take these orders back to Tianxin Village."
"We've been delayed for so long, we need to set off as soon as possible."
Lu Qiqi said, "This trip involves transporting a large quantity of goods, which will be delivered to the capital in batches, requiring a large number of people."
If the security escort agency needs people, they can simply tell Zhao Xiaodong to arrange it.
The village chiefs discussed the matter and decided to select a few people to help transport the bamboo paper; that shouldn't be a problem.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoqing immediately smiled and said, "That's wonderful, thank you, County Princess."
He had originally planned to work harder and personally lead the team on several trips, but with Lu Qiqi's help, he could avoid a lot of trouble, so how could he not be happy?
After busying herself for half a day, Lu Qiqi prepared to return to her residence.
Gu Shaoqing escorted the person to the outside of the escort agency, where a carriage from the Marquis of Lin'an's residence was already prepared and waiting.
Before boarding the carriage, Lu Qiqi turned to Gu Shaoqing and asked, "When do you plan to set off?"
Gu Shaoqing smiled and said, "We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Lu Qiqi smiled and said, "Then I wish the Tianlang Escort Agency a safe journey, a smooth road, and that no villains dare to approach."
Hearing such kind words before leaving, Gu Shaoqing naturally didn't forget to reciprocate, "I also wish the county magistrate abundant wealth and prosperity from all directions!"
