Chapter 210 Encounter
Jiang Youzhen poured another bowl of tea and pushed the snacks on the table over.
"I dare not!" Ah Yan waved his hands quickly. Who was he? How could he sit at the same table with the young master? Although he didn't know why the young master had a good relationship with Ah San, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Sit down and talk. There's no outsider here." Jiang Youzhen knocked on the table.
I don't know why, this young man is not very old, but his face looks very majestic. Just two knocks are like knocking on the door of his heart. He sat down quickly, but he only dared to put half of his buttocks down.
What followed was A Yan's attack on the Zhou family. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, causing Jiang Youzhen to frown.
The Zhou family is actually just a business family, but because of their cousin relationship with the second prince, they are very famous in the capital city, and even the prefect will give them some face.
In addition, with the support of a big tree, he did a lot of business. He had businesses such as rice, flour, grain, oil, cloth shops, restaurants, etc., which were all very profitable businesses.
However, the Zhou family was very domineering in doing business. From acquiring goods to doing business, they often used inferior means to squeeze other merchants and make them miserable.
"Oh, right, last time they forced the purchase of Mr. Wang's farm. It was a hot spring farm, passed down from Mr. Wang's ancestors, with 500 acres! But somehow, the Zhou family insisted on buying it. Mr. Wang didn't want to, so they forced him to buy it, saying they wanted to build a villa for the man in the capital who liked to take hot spring baths."
Haha! Jiang Youzhen sneered. He only likes power. He has many villas of his own. How can he be interested in the villas here? He is just bullying others by taking advantage of his power!
"And it only cost 500 taels of silver." Ah Yan sighed, "A farm like this would have to be sold for at least 7,000 or 8,000 taels, but the Zhou family only gave 500 taels."
After hearing about the Zhou family's misdeeds, Jiang Youzhen felt that his previous plan was too easy on Zhou Shi.
"What I want you to do is a little dangerous, I'm afraid you don't dare to do it." Jiang Youzhen finally stated his purpose.
"Just tell me what you want! As long as I can do it, I can't guarantee anything else. I just know a lot of people." He suddenly felt embarrassed, "But they are all from all walks of life, not presentable. They are all laborers, and some of them are hired as assistants and hired guns."
"These are enough." Jiang Youzhen smiled.
"Help me find these people and tell them this... Follow my words and help me spread the word everywhere. Don't worry about anything else. The wider the better.
Also, be careful and don't let anyone find out about you. If you want to muddy the waters, here are fifty taels of silver. You can do whatever you want! If you do it well, I'll give you the remaining thirty taels when I come to the city next time."
Jiang Youzhen explained in detail, and she was not worried that this person would reveal the truth. After all, after tomorrow, the Zhou family would definitely not care about her.
"Okay! It's my honor to work for you, sir."
"Well done. You can work beside me from now on!" Jiang Youzhen smiled and took a sip of the tea. This guy is quite smart. Since she is short of people to do things around her, it would be better to recruit him under her command.
Ah Yan was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
His good days are coming. He will get fifty taels for the first time, and thirty taels for the rest after the deal is done. How big of a deal? Following such a master, will he still have to worry about the future?
Compared to the monthly salary of one or two hundred coins, this was a world of difference. He had never had so much money before, and his hands were shaking with excitement.
"Don't thank me yet. I just said that you can only work for me if you do a good job." Jiang Youzhen had to remind him when he saw how happy the other person was.
"Don't worry, I will do my best." Ah Yan made up his mind to do things perfectly this time.
"Don't be reluctant to spend money. You must give benefits to others when you ask them to do something, otherwise how can they work hard?"
"Yes!" Ah Yan nodded repeatedly.
Watching A Yan excitedly go out with the silver, Jiang Youzhen sat for a while and then decided to go see how Jiang Fugui and the others were doing.
"Second Master, the person was intercepted by Qin Yandong and can't come." Zhou Hai received the news from his subordinates and came to report immediately.
The Second Master frowned, "What's going on? Why is Qin Yandong here?"
In fact, it was unexpected that he came to Tongzhou Prefecture to do business this time. In his previous life, he had offended the empress dowager and had been keeping a low profile in the mansion for a while. Even such a difficult task would not be his turn.
But this time, the emperor didn't send the fourth son here, just to test me, right? If this mission fails, then the emperor will have a reason to explode.
But why did Qin Yandong come here? The Qin family is a loyal family, why did they want to intercept the censor? Did the Qin family take sides?
"Let the ambushers go! If they can't snatch it, then kill them. They must not fall into Qin Yandong's hands."
Even if we cannot obtain the evidence from Censor Li, it must not fall into Qin Yandong's hands.
"Yes! I'll do it right away." Zhou Hai hurried out of the private room.
Jiang Youzhen had just walked out of the private room when he bumped into a hard chest.
"I'm sorry!" Jiang Youzhen apologized quickly.
"Don't you have eyes?" the man shouted coldly, and then hurried away.
Jiang Youzhen rolled her eyes. It was obvious that this person was walking too fast. There was no one there when she came out, but this person came over in just a few steps and blamed her instead.
Jiang Youzhen glared at his back and was about to look away when he suddenly felt that the back looked familiar.
Where have you seen this before? Oh! That's right, this voice sounds familiar too. Where have you heard it before?
Jiang Youzhen knocked his head, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Is it him? Why is he here? Didn't they return to the capital?
She couldn't help but cast her gaze towards the direction of the private room where the man had just come out. She didn't pay attention to his appearance just now, but now that she thought about it, it was definitely him, the one called Manager Zhou.
Thanks to the system reward for improving memory, although it was only for book learning, Jiang Youzhen's brain seemed to have been redeveloped, and her memory of other things was also much better.
After taking a look at the tightly closed door, Jiang Youzhen turned around and went downstairs. Less trouble is worse than more trouble. The second prince must have come to the capital city for matters in the court. If he saw him, he might not recognize him, but it would also make him more suspicious.
But this is just right. The effect of her plan will be doubled. It depends on how long the Second Prince can tolerate the Zhou family.
Jiang Youzhen walked out of the teahouse quickly. The second prince, who was standing by the window, looked at Jiang Youzhen's back and suddenly felt that this girl was a little strange. Why didn't she return to her female identity? She should be not young anymore, right?
"Mom! Haven't you finished shopping yet?" Jiang Youzhen looked around but couldn't find Jiang Fugui. He must have taken the goods back to the inn.
"It will be ready soon. There are too many vendors buying goods today, and we need a lot of things, so it took too much time."
All the sweat on Shen's body was squeezed out, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Mom, let's move the last few items ourselves! It's getting late, so let's go back to the inn and rest for a while. It's time to leave the city." San Ya came over. She was also very tired.
