Chapter 988 The Man Behind

Chapter 988 The Man Behind

The negotiation with Su Gongtai is not destined to be an easy thing to achieve. Maybe the other party didn't realize that Xiang'er's fragrance was fake. Openly offered a price of 2000 taels.

This price is more than enough to redeem one person, I am afraid it is more than enough to buy your Su Gongtai.

What He Jiaan usually dislikes the most is this bullying person, and he is unwilling to be such a person, but the situation is a little different now. He Jiaan has no intention of giving himself face at all. He Jiaan's price has risen from 500 taels to Eight hundred, and then raised to one thousand, but they failed to persuade people to let him go, so they insisted on killing the 1000 taels of silver without spitting out.

He Jia'an's mouth was a little dry, and he didn't bother to continue talking, so he smiled at the manager of Su Gongtai and said, "It seems that you don't know who I am, do you?"

"Of course I know." The manager snorted confidently, "Isn't your lord the county magistrate He Jia'an of Daxing County? I've admired you for a long time. All the girls in Su Gongtai want to see you."

He Jia'an wondered: "Now that you know this, you still dare to kill the price and not let go. Are you really not afraid that I will retaliate against you?"

"Revenge?" The person in charge suddenly laughed out loud as if he had heard some joke, and when he had laughed enough, he stared at He Jia'an leisurely and said, "To tell the truth, Mr. With such a big garden on the ground, can you, a small county magistrate, be able to do it?"

After thinking about it carefully, He Jiaan shook his head: "No."

"That's right, so if Mr. He really wants to take Miss Xiang'er into his room, this money is still indispensable."

Well, it took me a long time to drool, and I didn't lose a cent of the money, but I was taught a lesson. It's not that I can't get the 2000 taels of silver, but I feel a little unwilling to get the money. He Jiaan looked around. , suddenly asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask, the owner behind your house is...?"

"Hehe..." The manager smiled coldly, and replied in a low voice, "You don't deserve to ask."

Let me go, this seems a bit too much, I can be regarded as the county magistrate of Daxing County, and your Su Gongtai is in Daxing County, you have to look at the Buddha's face if you don't look at the monk's face, you actually said that you are not worthy of asking , the fire in He Jiaan's heart was ignited instantly.

He glanced at the manager complicatedly, He Jiaan turned around and walked out without saying a word, and just two steps away, he heard the manager say behind his back: "Master He, don't forget to send Miss Xiang'er back, You have to pay 100 taels of silver to stay with you for a day."

See you damn 100 taels, I don't believe it anymore, isn't it just a small brothel, I can't even deal with him.

He returned to the county government angrily, and He Jiaan asked someone to find Yin Jinshui. Since Yin Jinshui took refuge in He Jiaan, his status in the county government had not changed much. Now when he heard that He Jiaan was looking for him, he immediately He rushed over and asked with a smile, "What orders does Mr. He have?"

"Go, bring someone to seal up that Su Gongtai for me." He Jia'an didn't think too much, and ordered directly.

"Ah?" Yin Jinshui was stunned when he heard that he was asked to seal Su Gongtai, and smiled embarrassingly: "My lord, you are fine, don't make such a joke with the little one."

"Who is joking with you?" He Jiaan glared at him, then seemed to think of something, and asked curiously: "By the way, do you know who the owner of Su Gongtai is?"

"Ah?" Yin Jinshui was also dumbfounded, good guy, I always thought that Mr. He relied on his cleverness and wisdom, but why did he dare to seal up his business without knowing the owner of Su Gongtai?

Yin Jinshui hurriedly whispered: "Master He, has he ever heard of the name of Grand Scholar Liu of Hua Gai Palace?"

Liu Jian?

He Jiaan was taken aback when he heard this name, he must have heard it wrong, then Master Liu is an upright person with a very good reputation, how could there be such a business?

"You mean that Su Gongtai is the property of Liu Dashi's family?" He Jia'an asked suspiciously.

"No, no." Yin Jinshui shook, but he almost pissed off He Jia'an, since it wasn't you, he had to mention something about Master Liu.

Seeing that He Jiaan seemed a little angry, Yin Jinshui quickly explained: "Don't blame Mr. He, listen to the younger one first."

"Quickly tell me." He Jiaan said impatiently.

"Scholar Liu is almost 80 years old this year. Although his body looks relatively strong now, he may retire and return to his hometown one day. If he leaves, the position of this Grand Scholar will definitely be vacant. Your Excellency may wish Guess, which adult can take a step closer?"

This question was asked in depth. He Jiaan pondered for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be Master Mu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Yin Jinshui didn't reply, but nodded with expressive expression, until He Jiaan finally understood, and said in a low voice: "You mean, the owner of Su Gongtai is Lord Mu?"

Now He Jia'an finally understood why the manager was so arrogant, insisted on 2000 taels of silver and refused to let go, dare the lover's family has such a strong backing, no wonder he had to put himself in the eye.

But if you talk nicely like a businessman, then the 2000 taels of silver might come out by yourself. After all, Xiang'er's value can't be reflected in silver, but you are too crazy, eyes There is no place for him at all, so how can He Jiaan bear it, but his mind gradually calms down, this revenge must be avenged, but how to avenge it, he has to think carefully.

Seeing that He Jiaan no longer asked himself to seal Su Gongtai as he did just now, Yin Jinshui was finally relieved. It seems that Mr. He is still a person who listens to persuasion. He had no choice but to resign immediately, after all, no matter how good the official hat was, he had to be ordered to continue wearing it.

"Master He, if it's okay, the younger one will go down first." Yin Jinshui smiled embarrassingly.

"Oh, go ahead, I'll have someone call you if something happens." He Jiaan waved his hand casually and let Yin Jinshui go away.

Although Yin Jinshui left, his words lingered in He Jiaan's mind for a long time. Although Lord Mu himself had never dealt with him, he seemed to be a very kind person, but the mystery of this officialdom But it's not something that I can guess, or else I can just grit my teeth and recognize the money?

After all, I am not short of the 2000 taels of silver, and it seems a little bad for me to be an enemy of such a high-ranking official. After thinking about it, He Jiaan decided to use 2000 taels to redeem Xianger, but when he brought someone to carry him When Yinzi arrived at Su Gongtai, when he saw the steward, his tone suddenly changed again.

He looked at He Jia'an with disdain, then glanced at the boxes of silver ingots, and said with a smile: "Master He, I'm really sorry, the value of Miss Xiang'er has increased again?"

Up?

He Jia'an was taken aback for a moment, and asked in puzzlement, "What does the person in charge mean?"

"What do you mean, haven't you understood yet? It means that your 2000 taels can no longer redeem Xianger's body."

"Then how much do you want now?"

"Buy it now, 3000 taels."

Chapter 989

Hearing that the other party asked for a price of 3000 taels, He Jia'an simply lost all thought of talking, and just turned around and left. This is really because his employer is the Minister of Rites, and he didn't take himself seriously at all. Didn't you just say that? Are you sure you won't let go of 3000 taels? Just try it yourself. Is it your official minister who is the official of the Ministry of Rites, or your eighth-rank county magistrate who is the best.

Regarding He Jiaan's threat, Yang Pu, the shopkeeper of Su Gongtai, naturally didn't take it seriously. Who made us sit on top of a big man you can't afford to mess with? Either obediently send 3000 taels of silver, or send Xiang'er When I sent it back, I actually ran to myself to negotiate the price, what a joke.

Seeing that the sun had begun to turn westward, and it was the busiest time of the day at Su Gongtai, shopkeeper Yang also cheered up, first checked the mental state of the girls under him, and when he was satisfied, he came to the In front of the gate, prepare to welcome the guests who arrive today.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, shopkeeper Yang had sharp eyes, and at a glance, he saw that the turtle slaves guarding the door did not go to greet the guests, but gathered together without knowing what they were talking about. Shopkeeper Yang suddenly felt angry and coughed heavily , Seeing the turtle slaves scattered in panic, I felt a lot more comfortable.

Pulling over one of the tortoise slaves who hadn't escaped yet, Shopkeeper Yang asked coldly, "Chen Xiaoba, why don't you greet the guests well here, why are you chewing your tongue?"

That Chen Xiaoba glanced at the shopkeeper awkwardly, then turned around and pointed to the opposite side of the street and said, "Shopkeeper Yang, look quickly, the restaurant across the street has actually been demolished."

"Demolished?" Shopkeeper Yang was taken aback for a moment, and only when he looked up did he notice that the restaurant with a good business opposite his house has now taken off the plaque, and there are more than ten people busy inside the building. It's like tearing down a house.

Now Shopkeeper Yang doesn't quite understand. This restaurant has been open opposite him for some years. In recent years, with the help of Su Gongtai, this restaurant has made a lot of money. How can it be demolished? What?Could it be that something happened at home?

Looking around, there were not many customers coming, so the shopkeeper Yang walked towards the opposite side with square steps, and stopped when he reached the entrance of the opposite restaurant. He was looking for someone to find out what happened here. When the shopkeeper of the original restaurant came out of the restaurant with a big burden on his back, shopkeeper Yang hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of the man, cupped his hands and asked curiously: "Shopkeeper Xu, what happened? Why don't you do it?"

Shopkeeper Xu who was stopped was taken aback at first, but when he looked up and saw that it was Shopkeeper Yang, he heaved a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Who am I? It turned out to be Shopkeeper Yang, not me." I don’t want to do it, because the owner suddenly sold the store, so I have to change to another one.”

"Sold it?" Shopkeeper Yang was even more puzzled. Why did he sell the business so well?Quickly asked curiously: "Master Xu, do you know who this shop has been sold to?"

"It's not very clear. How can I know about the boss's affairs." Shopkeeper Xu laughed at himself, just about to leave Shopkeeper Yang's side, but suddenly stopped, looked back cautiously, and found that When those people didn't notice him, he suddenly leaned into shopkeeper Yang's ear and said, "Treasurer Yang, although I don't know who this shop is sold to, but I just heard these people talking about something by accident, and I feel a little weird." .”

"What's the matter?" Shopkeeper Yang asked curiously.

"I seem to have heard from these people that they seem to want to transform this place into a hut." Even shopkeeper Xu felt that he seemed to have heard something wrong. Seeing the sudden change of expression on Shopkeeper Yang's face, he quickly said again: "If I heard it wrong, who would build a hut in such a good location? Shopkeeper Yang, just take it as a joke. It's getting late. I have to go first. See you later."

While speaking, the shopkeeper Xu bid farewell to shopkeeper Yang and left here. On the contrary, shopkeeper Yang has not calmed down since he heard shopkeeper Xu said that a hut will be built here, and he kept looking at the shopkeeper who was In the restaurant that was demolished, I kept thinking about what shopkeeper Xu said just now. If a hut is really built here, what kind of impact will it have on my family's business?
