Of course Qin Yao didn't ask for nothing.
She just heard about Qin Feng's family background and was worried about whether he could keep so much wealth.
Ever since she came back from the Imperial Prefecture with Liu Ji yesterday, she always felt like a storm was coming.
She was definitely not worried about her own family, it was all under control, except for Qin Feng, she found that she still didn't understand him too much.
After four years of separation, she and Qin Feng had not had a chance to really chat until they reunited.
Qin Yao felt that today was the right time and suggested: "Let's talk today about our respective four years."
“Okay.” Qin Feng also had a lot to tell her.
The brother and sister looked at each other, and Qin Feng spoke first, "After I separated from you, I was rescued by Uncle Qi, and accidentally entered the Salt Gang and went down the salt well. Those days were dark and dark, but fortunately My stomach is finally full.”
“Later, the imperial court sent a salt transport envoy and the salt gang was eliminated. I also met Guo Hao at that time, who is now the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. I saved his life and he let me and Qi Shu leave the salt well.”
"After that, Uncle Qi and I started doing business, and it was a year later that we returned to Wangcheng. Guo Hao came again, this time for the local salt transportation in Wangcheng. The court was preparing to distribute new salt. Uncle Qi and I I took out all the savings of the merchant and asked Guo Hao for a favor, and finally got Yan Yin. "
"In the next two years, while running the salt mine, I went south twice a year with my uncle Qi to do business, looking for news about you, and met a girl in Sioux City."
Qin Yao smiled jokingly, "Is it Yan Hong?"
Qin Feng nodded awkwardly and muttered, "Liu Ji told you again, right? Why does this kid ask about everything?"
Qin Yao smiled slightly and motioned for him to continue.
Qin Feng was not looking for Yan Hong to have fun. He couldn't find any trace of his sister for a long time, so he had some bad premonitions. He found Yan Hong because she could help him keep an eye on the women who were wandering in the land of fireworks.
After meeting several times, the atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous.
But Yanhong never said she wanted to go with him. She only said that when he came to Su City, she remembered to come and see her. She didn't hide her need for money to buy something and wrote to him directly asking him to buy it.
Later, Qin Feng asked someone to send a sum of money every month, which was enough to cover her every month.
Yanhong wrote to him more frequently. The letters contained a list of new girls who had recently arrived in various flower houses in Suzhou City. She also wanted to say hello and say hello to him.
Qin Feng felt that this connection was normal and abnormal, but he was worried about more than these things every day, and he didn't think about it specifically.
Let's just leave it like this anyway, give him money if he has money, and Yan Hong never said anything about asking him to redeem her.
“Now that I've found you, I asked Uncle Qi to tell her when he gets to Su City, so that he won't have to write to me anymore.”
Qin Feng seemed to be talking to Qin Yao or to himself. His eyebrows were slightly twisted. He always felt that it was a bit weird to talk about the women in the brothel in front of his sister.
He was also afraid that she would think he was indiscreet or something, so he stared at Qin Yao's face after speaking, not wanting to miss any of her reactions.
With soft eyes, Qin Yao asked him curiously: "Brother, do you like Yan Hong?"
"Wha, what?" Qin Feng was startled, and became visibly panicked. His eyes subconsciously wandered, and he waved his hands, "I will not marry her. You can rest assured. How can the mistress of our family do this? It's a brothel girl!”
After saying the words, I was stunned for a moment.
It turns out that he is similar to those brothel goers that he despises.
Qin Yao didn't have any special reaction. It was like saying an ordinary thing, "Then let's break it off." However, Qin Feng frowned and asked tentatively: "You don't like it, don't you?"
Qin Yao shook her head, "This is not a matter of whether you like it or not, it's a matter of whether there is any reason to go bankrupt overnight."
Qin Feng was shocked all over, and all the indecision in his heart disappeared instantly. No one around him had ever said such a thing to him.
Uncle Qi, like him, had climbed up from the bottom and suddenly became rich. The two of them lived a cautious and cautious life. They only knew that their wealth should not be exposed, don't offend others, and be friendly to make money.
As for the rest, my vision is limited, and I really haven't thought about the consequences of being a brothel woman.
Qin Yao said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, money and silk have moved people's hearts. A lot of people are concerned about such a large amount as the salt mine, right? Have you left anyone behind in Wangcheng?"
Qin Feng's mind calmed down, he took a deep breath and nodded: "I did keep a few trustworthy people, but those people in Wangcheng stared at my salt mine like hungry wolves, which also gave me a headache."
Qin Yao suggested: "Then find someone to do it."
Liu Ji inquired about the news and said that the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel are now neutral in the imperial court, and they are not next to each other, but what if?
Qin Feng relied on Guo Hao from the Ministry of Revenue. It was not easy for his superiors to attack Guo Hao, but it was not easy to attack his subordinates.
What's more, Qin Feng is just a businessman. If he is fattened and then killed, the two million taels of silver will be used to make wedding clothes for others.
Qin Fengzhen broke out in a cold sweat when Qin Yao told him, and murmured, "This can't be possible. After all, we are also working for the imperial court."
For that piece of salt, he spends hundreds of thousands of taels every year. Isn't it enough to feed them?
“I'm not saying absolutely, but the current situation is complicated and we have to be prepared for both.”
Just like her specialty shop and magical bookcase, once the eldest princess loses power, she will bring the entire Fulong Trading Company with her.
But now she is not afraid, that is an army of 100,000 people!
Furthermore, if something goes wrong, Fulong Trading Company is still at the forefront. A lowly guy like her will go bankrupt at most.
At this time, Liu Ji's status as a judge is very useful. As long as she destroys all traces of contact with the Princess's Mansion, leaves no evidence of her side, and gives up her reputation as a judge, her life can still be saved.
Of course, this is the worst case scenario, in reality it won't be that bad.
Comparatively, Qin Feng is still much more difficult. After all, neutrality means that both sides will be offended. It depends on the size of the family's situation and whether they will care about you.
Anyway, Qin Yao, who can remind, will definitely remind Qin Feng that the assets can now be transferred.
"If there are trustworthy subordinates, brother, buy them a house and land, and put them in their names. If anything happens in the future, they will have the capital to make a comeback."
“Also, you can't talk nonsense even to the person sleeping next to you.” Qin Yao gave Qin Feng a teasing look.
Qin Feng coughed twice. He had already planned to cut off contact with Yan Hong immediately when he went to Su City this time. He glared at Qin Yao and refused to let her mention it again.
The two brothers and sisters discussed for a while to resolve Qin Feng's hidden dangers, and then they talked about Qin Yao's four years.
Her four years did not have so many thrilling moments. She killed horse bandits, built a water mill, made a magical book box, helped the local people get rid of bullies, and then studied to increase rice production, she was almost addicted to being a village chief.
