Main Text Chapter 871: Sowing Discord
(To make up for ten months, the monthly ticket is 7,500 plus more)
In this regard, Master Yuxu was very worried. When Zhengqi Grocery Store opened in the early years, he was almost driven to a dead end by that woman. Deming later took over Zhengqi Grocery Store and had no experience, and Niu Youde was absent. It can be said that he was walking on thin ice with trepidation. The reason why I got close to that woman was probably influenced by that incident.
That woman couldn't be offended at all. How could Master Yuxu not be worried when he realized that Miao Yi was going to have another fight with her.
Despite this, Master Yuxu still did as Miao Yi said, frowning and said: "Can someone agree to lend us money to buy a shop, but we still have this little money? We agreed on a one-year deadline, but now we have to press for repayment. ... Deming, I now doubt whether Qunying Guild Hall has the strength, or in other words, whether they have the sincerity to cooperate with us? If not, let’s forget it, that woman is not easy to mess with!”
What he said made sense. Deming was speechless by his uncle and was worried that the situation he had finally agitated would be ruined again. He immediately replied: "Uncle, it's normal for traders to press for debts. She didn't force us to pay back. , I just mentioned it, so I can discuss it with her later, and there should be no problem by then, and it won't affect our cooperation. "
Master Yuxu nodded and said: "Then let's put it off a little longer and pay it back when it's due. If I don't pay it back as agreed, I feel a little unsure."
"Yes! Uncle Master is right." Deming agreed quickly, but sighed in his heart. Things are often like this. It's really difficult to do something, and there are always constraints.
The next day, I went to the Qunying Hall again and expressed the meaning of Master Yuxu euphemistically. Huangfu Junyan also laughed at the matter and did not press him any further. I don't think Zhengqi Grocery Store had the guts to borrow the money from Qunying Guild Hall and refuse to repay it.
Deming thanked her for her generosity. Thinking of something, he mentioned: "Shopkeeper Huangfu, I forgot to mention something when I came yesterday. It's about Niu Youde."
Speaking of Miao Yi, Huangfu Junyan felt slightly alarmed and asked, "What's going on?"
Deming sighed: "Niu Youde asked me to plead for mercy. Regarding the matter between him and the blood demon, I hope that Shopkeeper Huang Fu will be noble and let him go. Shopkeeper Huangfu. It is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. We must cooperate in the future, and we will not be able to reconcile them if we stay together." It’s not good for everyone, what do you think?”
Huangfu Junyan smiled slightly and answered the question inappropriately: "Taoist Master, I know the situation of Zhengqi Grocery Store. Xiahou Longcheng took 20% of the profit. Niu Youde also took 20% of the profit. Every year, he still has to pay for it. 10%, and after we cooperate, we will reduce it by another 20%. By then, Zhengqimen will only have 30% left! To put it bluntly, but to be honest, he did make some efforts when the Zhengqi grocery store first opened, but after so many years, What else has he done besides sitting back and enjoying the benefits? Xiahou Longcheng still has the background and strength to take care of the grocery store business, and there is nothing to say about it, but he has such a good reputation only once in a few hundred years. He didn't want to do anything. He came and left when he wanted. He borrowed a trillion red crystals from me in a flash, but he asked the Taoist priest to help him repay the money. It's not that I was unhappy because he borrowed the money. Or he deliberately spoke ill of him because he had some problems with him, but the fact was that the Taoist priest knew it very well. The Taoist priest had worked hard for Zhengqi Grocery Store for hundreds of years, but he was enjoying the benefits but he didn't know that he got more than the Taoist priest. How much, even I, an outsider, can’t stand it anymore!”
Deming remained expressionless for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "Shopkeeper Huangfu said this, don't you think it's suspected of sowing discord? I'm afraid it's hard not to misunderstand that shopkeeper Huangfu is unhappy because of his relationship with him."
Huangfu Jun laughed loudly, shook his head slightly and said: "If you insist on thinking this way, I don't need to defend myself. If the Taoist Master doesn't have any objections, I don't have any objections. Since the Taoist Master has spoken, I will naturally give it to the Taoist Master." To save face, as long as he understands the situation, I will not embarrass him again. However, I still feel that it is not worth it for Zhengqi Men and Dao Zhang. Has Dao Zhang ever thought about how much profit Zhengqi Grocery Store will generate once it expands its scale? Have you ever thought about how much money a 20% member can get every year? The 20% I get here belongs to the entire Qunying Hall, not to me personally. The 30% to the Zhengqi Sect also belongs to the entire Zhengqi Sect, not to the Taoist Master personally. How many disciples of the Zhengqi Sect want it? 30% for raising talents? He only needs 20% to support himself. This is too unfair. If he really cares about the righteousness, he shouldn't take so much, Taoist priest. I don’t know whether to say something or not?”
With these words, Deming could hardly sit still, but he still couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Shopkeeper Huangfu has already said what should be said and what should not be said. If there is anything else that is difficult to say, I am all ears."
Huangfu Jun licked a green jade index finger and gently slid it in circles on the tea cup lid, and lowered his voice a little, "I have a way to make him hand over the two components. He lent me one trillion red crystals. , the IOU stipulates that it should be repaid within one year. If we do something jointly, when the repayment period comes, the grocery store will be unable to operate and it will be difficult to pay back the money. At that time, we will force him to find a way to pay back the money on his own. , I can take the opportunity to ask him to spit out the two parts and transfer them to the name of the Taoist priest. Once it is in the name of the Taoist priest, he will naturally return to his rightful family. This is his own debt and repayment, and he can't blame anyone. What do you think?"
Deming's heart started to beat faster, and he stood up decisively, cupped his hands and said goodbye: "Shopkeeper Huangfu, this is a joke. I hear it in one ear and out the other, so I won't take it to heart. Say goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, but from the pavilion behind him came Huangfu Junmen's reminder again, "This is not a joke, I am also doing this for the good of Zhengqimen, Taoist priest, you might as well think about it carefully, if you think it is appropriate, we can make a detailed plan. Taoist priest, you should understand that Zhengqimen will only hold 30% of the molecules at that time, I have 20%, and Xiahou Longcheng has 20%. You should know that it is not difficult for me to come here if I want to. I think it will not be difficult for Taoist priest to calculate who will be the big boss of Zhengqi Grocery Store at that time. Can you guarantee that Niu Youde will always stand on the side of Zhengqimen to ensure that Zhengqimen will always be the big boss of Zhengqi Grocery Store? He is not a disciple of Zhengqimen, but an outsider. If he is unwilling to spit out those 20% of the molecules, his heart must be unpredictable! Taoist priest, for the future of Zhengqimen, someone has to do the evil, please consider it carefully!"
Faced with such coercion and inducement, Deming's body trembled slightly, and finally he had to bite the bullet and leave quickly.
There was no one else in the courtyard, with flowers and willows in full bloom. Huangfu Junmen, who was sitting alone in the pavilion, picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly. A hint of teasing appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she muttered to herself: "I cut off your financial resources and forced you to fall out with the Zhengqi Sect. I let you see the ugly face of the Zhengqi Sect. I will give you another chance to seek justice. If you don't want it..."
Back to the Zhengqi Grocery Store, Deming knocked on Miao Yi's door and saw Miao Yi sitting cross-legged in meditation. I don't know if it was because of what Huangfu Junmen said before, but I couldn't tell how uncomfortable I felt.
Everyone in the Zhengqi Grocery Store, even Uncle Yuxu was busy, but he was practicing leisurely here.
"Is there anything, Taoist priest?" Miao Yi, sitting cross-legged on the couch, opened his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Nothing!" De Ming also forced a smile and stepped forward to inform, "Shopkeeper Huangfu has already agreed. She promised not to pursue the previous matter."
Miao Yi was amused. Even if Huangfu Junman agreed, Xue Yao would probably not agree. He just put on a low profile to let this guy lower the woman's vigilance, but this guy took it seriously. After thanking him, he was surprised again, "The Taoist priest looks unhappy. Did Huangfu Junman say something unpleasant when he ran to plead for me?"
"No, no!" De Ming left after a few polite words.
Miao Yi also stopped practicing, put down his feet and walked to the window, opened the window to look at the scenery of Tianjie, was silent for a while, then closed the window and left, left the grocery store, wandered alone on the street, and slowly walked to the Commander's Mansion in Dongcheng District.
Wandering back and forth at the door of the Commander's Mansion for several times, he kept hesitating whether to go in. He was really uncomfortable because he had been holding that thing in his heart and didn't figure it out. In the end, he stopped in front of the gate and asked the guard to report.
After the guard came back, someone led him in.
He waited alone in the spotless main hall. Someone served tea, but he didn't dare to touch it. Thinking of Kou Wenlan's motherly intentions gave him goose bumps. He really didn't want to touch anything here, let alone drink tea with a teacup that he didn't know if it was Kou Wenlan's.
After waiting for a long time, Kou Wenlan, who was wearing a yellow gauze robe, looked handsome, elegant, and gentle and elegant, appeared.
Miao Yi stood up to greet him. Kou Wenlan shook the handkerchief in his hand and asked him to sit down. Then he sat down in the main seat and smiled, "Brother Niu, I haven't seen you for many years. It's a rare guest who can take the initiative to come to your door."
Miao Yi sighed in his heart. They were both people with backgrounds. Why was there such a big difference in the demeanor of Xiahou Longcheng and this guy?
After chatting for a while, Kou Wenlan put down the teacup and wiped his lips with a handkerchief, smiling slightly: "Brother Niu, didn't you come here to chat with me? If so, I'm afraid I'll neglect you."
Miao Yi thought about it, and finally tried to ask: "Has Commander Kou heard of the rumors about me and Huangfu Junman?"
Kou Wenlan was stunned, and then covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed continuously. After a long time, he put it down and asked: "Are you here for this?"
Miao Yi sighed: "I am an honest person, and I can't hold back things in my heart. To be honest, Commander Xiahou personally came to me to settle accounts for this matter. I thought that Commander Kou would settle accounts with me sooner or later, but there was no movement after waiting for a long time. Niu was not happy, so he came to my door specially. I want to ask Commander Kou in person why he didn't settle accounts with me?"
Kou Wenlan shook his head for a while and asked: "If you and Huangfu really have something, Xiahou will definitely go to you first to settle accounts. Is there any need to find me?".
The answer is so simple! Miao Yi was a little amused when he walked out of the Commander's Mansion. He felt that he had been worrying for so long but it was all in vain. He was just overthinking and worrying about nothing.
After confirming that nothing would happen here, Miao Yi finally plucked up the courage to come to the Heroes Hall with a gift box in his hand.
After reporting, he entered and was led to the guest pavilion to wait. This is the bad thing about meeting an unmarried woman. She doesn't want to be alone with you in the same room, so the meeting place is always outside. (To be continued...)
