Rebirth as Princess Jin again

The guard camp returned to the house, and the guard followed closely behind him, saying angrily: "This Wang Hu, he just started making trouble as soon as he arrived in this camp, and he didn't even look where he was?"

"Guard, what happened to the moon silver and cotton clothes they just talked about?" These words came out of the guard's mouth lightly, but they made the guard tremble.

He quickly lowered his head and said in fear: "Master, all the money and winter clothes have been sent to Yancheng."

Weiying suddenly turned around and said urgently: "That's three months' worth of silver for a guarding camp. Do you know that if this matter is exposed, the Wei family will be overturned at any time."

The guard raised his head slightly and said, "It's a biting cold wind in Yancheng right now. The second master has recruited a group of private soldiers this year, and the cost is 30% higher than in previous years. I originally thought of using the money from the guard camp first." Moon silver and things to keep out the cold will be distributed to the guard camp after the Wei family collects money from various places. But unexpectedly, something happened to the third son of Wei, and one-third of the Wei family's property was transferred to the national treasury. The money in hand Suddenly it became unsustainable.”

Wei Ying frowned slightly: "Even if one-third of the Wei family's property is added to the national treasury, the monthly revenue of one Jade Pavilion alone is more than two hundred thousand taels, and the entire Kyoto guard camp only has one hundred thousand people. Jade Pavilion’s monthly revenue can meet their monthly monthly income, why do you say the money is unsustainable?”

The guard's heart tightened and he said: "Young master, you don't know. Ever since the last time the shopkeeper of Jade Pavilion was taught a lesson by Princess Jiaoyang, the reputation of Jade Pavilion has not been as good as before. The people below have reported the situation to Young Master Wei many times, but Young Master Wei has not taken it seriously." , did not attract much attention, and in these days, a shop named Nuanyuge suddenly became famous in Beijing, and their jewelry was not only fashionable, but also priced cheaper than ours, taking away a lot of business from Yuge, and now Yuge The monthly revenue is only...tens of thousands of taels."

"What did you say? Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?" Wei Ying was startled, and then he frowned, with displeasure in his tone.

"Previously, Mr. Wei was responsible for these things. Something happened to Mr. Wei, and the third master had no time to take care of these businesses. His subordinates only learned about the matter after receiving a letter from the second master. Now, the Wei family's shops in the capital are more or less Because there is no one to take care of the Third Young Master's matter, the shop business has suffered a lot of losses, and all businesses related to the Wei family in the capital have begun to be squeezed out," the guard said cautiously.

"Has anyone found out who did it?" Wei Ying could no longer remain calm. He seemed to have foreseen a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the Wei family, but he could not figure it out. In the past, business matters were all He has never been involved in Wei Heng's management. Now that Wei Heng is dead, Mr. Wei San has no intention of taking care of business matters.

Someone started to quietly close the net when the Wei family had no time to care for themselves. He felt inexplicably nervous, as if a big net fell from the sky. This net was slowly shrinking, not only in the Wei family in the capital, but also in Yancheng. affected.

The guard thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I only know that their owner's name is Huiniang. Her family used to be a businessman. Later, the family fell into decline and everyone in the family dispersed. In the end, only Huiniang and her mother were left. Life was difficult." Then, suddenly Hui Niang opened a store called Nichang Pavilion in the city. Slowly, Nichang Pavilion became famous, and she started to operate other stores. By the time our people discovered something was wrong, her property had already It's all over the capital. No other information can be found."

A cold smile suddenly appeared on Weiying's lips: "Since we can't find her, we will send someone to kill her."

The guard lowered his eyebrows and said: "My subordinates have sent people to test it out a long time ago, but the people around Huiniang, whether they are waiters or guards, look ordinary, but they are all people with strong martial arts skills. Even the people around her My maid, her reflexes and martial arts skills are not inferior to mine."

This answer was far beyond Weiying's expectation: "Is this happening?"

"Not only that, the Wei family's stores in other places outside the capital have also had problems one after another. Since they are far away from the capital, the news is delayed. This is a clue that was only discovered a few days ago. The person behind it has not been found out yet!" Guards When he said this, his voice was low and he didn't even dare to express his voice.

Wei Ying was stunned: "You don't even know who is behind it? Who is so bold and dares to openly oppose the Wei family?"

The guard gritted his teeth, thought for a while and said, "My subordinates just received a letter from Yancheng. The second master was assassinated on the outskirts of Yancheng and was seriously injured."

"How could he be assassinated when he had so many soldiers with him?" Wei Ying felt a throbbing pain in his heart at this moment, and each incident made his heart beat a little slower.

"Don't worry, young master. The letter said that the second master just went hunting and didn't bring many soldiers. Those assassins were ruthless. But fortunately, I met a knight on the road and saved the second master's life." The guard said hurriedly.

Wei Ying relaxed a little, but the thoughts in his heart kept rolling. First, Wei Heng's accident happened, and then the Wei family's business plummeted. In addition, the second uncle was seriously injured. The Wei family had been going smoothly, but suddenly all the problems came one after another. What's funny is that they didn't even know who their opponent was.

There seems to be a pair of black hands behind the scenes, who have already made plans and are quietly promoting the development of everything behind the scenes.

Seeing that Wei Ying was silent, the guard asked tentatively: "Sir, are these things related to the Jin Palace?"

Wei Ying thought for a long time and said in a deep voice: "When it comes to fighting, no one can compare with King Jin, but most of King Jin's subordinates are generals. Even if the emperor gives him an estate, how can a prince get the spare money to fight outside all year round? Business."

"What's more, the people behind this plan must have been planning for a long time. King Jin has only returned to Beijing for a few months. It is impossible for him to understand the Wei family's industry so clearly. The Wei family's industry is spread throughout the Xia Zhao Kingdom. Even I don't know many things. It’s not necessarily clear, how did he find out?”

The guard was also confused at this time and said softly: "Who did it? Hui Niang is obviously so poor that she even has no money to eat. Where did she get the money to open a shop?"

"Of course there are people helping her. The top priority now is to raise money as soon as possible to fill the hole in the guard camp as soon as possible. If the people below know that we have used the imperial salary money for other purposes, the Wei family will be in danger."

"But, Master, this year the cotton in the capital has basically been purchased by the imperial court to make the first batch of cotton-padded clothes. Now it is difficult to find cotton in all the stores in the capital. What's more, we still have to process it into cotton-padded clothes. Even if such a large order is given to It’s hard to think of anyone who would dare to take over cash.” The guard explained the current predicament.

Wei Ying thought for a moment and said, "It seems like I have to write a letter to ask him to help the Wei family survive this crisis."

The guard suddenly realized who the person he was referring to could not help but feel relieved.
