Rebirth as Princess Jin again

The guards visited all the trading houses in the capital for several days and couldn't even buy any cotton, let alone cotton-padded clothes.

The Wei camp collected all the cash from the Wei Family Trading Company and just raised 200,000 taels of military pay. However, the Guard camp had not issued monthly silver for three months, and now there was still a shortfall of 400,000 taels.

There was no reply to the letter he wrote, and the news the guards brought back made him instantly feel cold.

Wei Ying went to find Wei Sheng, but Wei Sheng didn't want to care about these matters at all. Wei Ying was upset after being rejected. As a member of the Wei family, working in the capital has always been smooth sailing. How could he have ever suffered such grievances?

The guard stood on one side and said hesitantly: "Sir, um... I have an idea and I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"

Weiying said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, when did you become so procrastinating!"

The guard blurted out: "We have contacted all the shops in the capital. Now there is only one way to go. Why don't we lower ourselves and ask that Hui Niang for help?"

Wei Ying frowned and said, "Since we already know that she is causing trouble, then this person cannot be trusted. If we go to find her now, wouldn't we be rushing to provide others with evidence."

The guard sighed and said: "But now we have exhausted our talents. She is just a businessman, and businessmen value profits. If we sincerely come to ask for help, she will not push away the money that comes to us, right?"

Wei Ying thought for a moment and finally made up his mind: "You can find a way to help me invite her out to meet."

In the elegant room above the teahouse, on the long table next to the window, there is a copper stove with gilded animal heads. The delicate smell of Suhexiang incense rises from the stove. Every corner of the room is filled with an elegant and quiet fragrance.

Wei Ying was not used to incense, and the moment he smelled the smell, his brows furrowed involuntarily. He already looked rough, and with the scars on his face, he looked a bit scary.

Before Wei Ying started to speak, a soft voice came from the gauze curtain in the room: "Hui Niang has met Mr. Wei!"

The guard stretched out his hand to lift up the gauze curtain, and then the guard could clearly see the appearance of the person inside. She was a delicate and lovely woman, with a petite stature and a delicate appearance. If he had not known her identity, he would have thought that she was just a petite girl raised in a boudoir. Miss Jiao.

Wei Ying nodded slowly towards her, stared at her for a few times and said, "Hui Niang, I came to you today because I want to discuss a business deal with you."

Hui Niang smiled slightly and said, "I am a businessman. Sir Wei, just say so."

After hearing her words, Wei Ying felt slightly relieved: "I wonder if Hui Niang has cotton on hand. Our Wei family needs to purchase a large amount of cotton."

Hui Niang was slightly startled when she heard this, then smiled and said, "Master Wei should also know that all the cotton in the capital is now purchased by the government to make military supplies. I am afraid that no one in the capital has a large amount of cotton."

Weiying's expression only changed slightly when he heard this: "Of course I know, but Huiniang's business is big and she knows more ways than me. I wonder if you know where to buy cotton now?"

Hui Niang took a sip of tea, slightly opened her lips, and said slowly: "Master Wei might as well send someone to Pingcheng to have a look!"

Weiying asked back: "As far as I know, Pingcheng is not the origin of cotton. How can there be a lot of cotton there?"

Huiniang smiled slightly and said slowly: "This year, a mysterious man appeared in Pingcheng. He spread his business to all parts of the country. I heard that this man is from Pingcheng. He is a well-known good person. This year's cotton harvest is good, and many people are planting The cotton in the hands of the cotton farmers was unsaleable. After hearing this, this good man purchased the cotton from all nearby cotton farmers and made cotton clothes. If Mr. Wei is purchasing for military needs, you can go to Pingcheng and have a look. Maybe you can not only buy cotton but also Buy ready-made clothes.”

The guard on the side heard the word "military supplies" and said in a cold voice: "How do you know that the cotton we buy is for military supplies? Tell me, who are you?"

Hui Niang looked him over and said in a calm voice: "Master Wei is the commander of the guard camp. Everyone in the capital knows this. It was you who said that you need a lot of cotton. If it is not for military supplies, what is it used for?"

The guard choked at her and became a little angry: "Do you have to use cotton to make clothes when you buy cotton? You clearly know something and deliberately lure us into the trap?"

Hui Niang covered her lips and smiled softly: "Look what this young master said, I am also a businessman after all, so naturally I am more thoughtful than ordinary people. I passed by the gate of the guard camp that day and I clearly saw that your guards were wearing thin clothes. That’s why I thought you were buying cotton to make cotton-padded clothes. Besides, if I hadn’t sincerely helped you with this favor, how could I have agreed to your meeting here?”

"You?" the guard said, the knife in his hand was unsheathed, and when he was about to greet Huiniang, the guard sternly scolded: "Guard, stand down!"

The guard put the knife back reluctantly and looked at Hui Niang angrily.

Wei Ying lowered his gaze for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Huiniang really has a unique vision. No wonder she quietly snatched away all the Wei family's business in just a few months. Wei has learned a lesson."

"I wonder how much benefit the person behind the scenes can give you? Our Wei family is willing to pay double the price to hire you to help the Wei family run their business. I wonder what Hui Niang wants?"

Hui Niang sneered in her heart, her voice was as calm as ever: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your love. She is Hui Niang's benefactor. She has been kind to Hui Niang. Hui Niang will not betray her, no matter how high the conditions are. .”

Wei Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light like cold light pierced from his eyes: "Even if you risk your life here today, you don't agree?"

Hui Niang raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "I kindly help the people of Wei Da, but Master Wei actually wants my life?"

Wei Ying's eyes were dark and he said: "Since you can't be used by our Wei family, then you don't have to live in this world."

Hui Niang looked at him and said calmly: "Master Wei, do you think I didn't have any backup plans when I came to see you?"

Wei Ying suddenly stepped forward, curled his fingers into claws, and grabbed Hui Niang. But as soon as he stood up, he felt that his whole body was limp, and he fell down on the chair uncontrollably.

The guard's body also began to sway. He was so frightened that he grabbed the table next to him. Before he could grasp it firmly, he fell heavily to the ground.

Wei Ying looked at the delicately smiling woman in front of him and said in a harsh voice, "What did you do?"

Hui Niang brushed her sleeves and said calmly: "Didn't Master Wei frown as soon as he came in? I just added some ingredients to the incense. I have always heard that Master Wei is very capable and kills people without blinking an eye. I am the only one who can do it." Naturally, a weak woman will be scared when she goes out to do business, but don't worry, Mr. Wei, it's just some medicinal powder for dispersing gong. After an hour, the effect of the medicine wears off and you'll be fine. If Mr. Wei doesn't use force on me, this powder will naturally be good for you. useless."

The corners of her lips curved slightly, raising a crescent-like arc: "My intentions in doing business with Mr. Wei can be judged by the sun and the moon, and there is absolutely no malicious intention. Of course, everything I just talked to you is from my heart. I I also sincerely want to help adults.”

Wei Ying barely supported his body and said, "Do you think I will believe you?"

Hui Niang said coldly: "It's up to you to decide whether you believe it or not. What happened today has offended Hui Niang!"

After saying that, he led the maid out of the room. Wei Ying watched her leave with murderous intent in his eyes.
