Chapter 459 Assassinating Zhu Feng!
Nan Yan raised her hand and saluted: "I was rude during the day, please forgive me, Boss Jie."
"Hey, that's nothing." Jie Shi said with a smile, "Since we're meeting for the first time, consider that silver as my gift to Miss Nan Yan."
“…”
What a big deal.
Four thousand taels of silver as a "greeting gift".
However, that was originally won by himself. Even if Jie Shi wanted to take it back, he would first have to admit that he had cheated.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan became alert.
No matter how honest and simple-minded Jie Shi looks, he is not a good person as he has built such a big business.
At this time, Jie Shi smiled and looked at Zhu Feng, who was sitting there with a calm expression, and said, "Even the maids around him are so outstanding. Master Huang is truly a rare talent."
Zhu Feng smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment."
"However, I don't think I've seen Mr. Huang around here. Isn't Mr. Huang a local?"
"I'm just passing through here."
"Oh..." Jie Shi smiled and said, "Where is Mr. Huang from?"
"Peking."
"Peking? I'm very familiar with that place and have some business there. I wonder if Mr. Huang is—"
Nan Yan frowned.
As soon as she heard it, she knew that Jie Shi was trying to find out Zhu Feng's background.
Zhu Feng said that he was from Peking, and Jie Shi also had business in Peking, so he must be very familiar with the situation there. If Zhu Feng said a random name, he would be able to tell whether it was true or not.
Of course, Zhu Feng couldn't say that he was born in the "Prince of Yan's Mansion".
She suddenly became a little nervous.
At this time, Zhu Feng just smiled faintly and said, "My family is in Youbeiping, and I run a timber business."
The smile on Jie Shi's face faded a little, and he said, "Huang Ziteng is——"
"My uncle."
He asked several questions in succession, and Zhu Feng answered them all fluently.
Nan Yan was listening at the side, stunned.
At this time, she remembered that the imperial court had records of some of the wealthy merchants in the private sector. Since Zhu Feng knew that Jie Shi was not recorded, it meant that he had seen those records.
Unexpectedly, he remembered it so clearly.
After a few words, Jie Shi no longer had any questions and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he smiled and said, "Mr. Huang comes from a prominent family, so of course he understands my difficulties."
“…”
"When the family business is big, it's inevitable that some servants will be difficult to manage."
“…”
"Plus, I rarely go out on weekdays, so I leave some small business to them and rarely ask about it. I didn't expect that they would actually take some ore to the town to cheat people and make them lose everything."
“…”
"Today, I almost hurt Miss Nan Yan."
“…”
"It's really abominable."
Zhu Feng raised his eyes slightly and looked at him.
Jie Shi said, "Let them come out and apologize to Master Huang and Miss Nan Yan."
As soon as he finished speaking, two people walked out from the side of the lobby. They were the boss and the waiter who had been soliciting business and cheating people out of their money in Baibao Pavilion during the day.
Two people came up with disheveled hair and looked very listless.
"master."
Jie Shi pointed to this side and said, "Go over there and apologize to Master Huang and Miss Nan Yan first."
The two men walked to Zhu Feng's desk and knelt on the ground: "Please forgive me, Master Huang and Miss Nanyan."
Nan Yan watched them kowtow, and then the two men suddenly stood up and took out a knife from their sleeves.
Flashing cold light.
When Nan Yan saw it, her eyes widened in fear.
They—want to assassinate Zhu Feng?!
