The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 477: Not Giving a Single Penny

The sudden change in tone made Jiang Suining and Xier both stunned. Jiang Suining was the first to come back to his senses. He glanced at Ma Wulang beside him and said, "What does Shopkeeper Helian mean by this?" "This girl..." "My last name is Yang." "No matter what your last name is, since you have come to this black market, you should understand that this is not a place for good people. Our bank has kept the money for your father, and my clerk has been injured like this in order to withdraw money for you. You should at least show some appreciation." Shopkeeper Helian in front of him was still the same face as before, but at this moment, he looked completely without the gentle and humble look, like a fox pretending to be kind finally tearing off the mask in front of its prey, with a pair of eyes glowing with greed, making people feel uncomfortable. Jiang Suining narrowed his eyes slightly, "What Shopkeeper Helian said doesn't seem to make sense. You have already deducted 10,000 taels of silver as compensation. As for the clerk's injury, it was you who designed such a warehouse and you who asked him to go down. What does it have to do with me?" "So, you are unwilling to pay!" Shopkeeper Helian looked at Jiang Suining coldly, "Miss Yang, right? Don't forget, this is the black market!" The harsh tone made Xier shudder. She thought that Shopkeeper Helian was a good person just now, but she didn't expect that he was so greedy and shameless. Looking at the threatening look of Shopkeeper Helian, Xier's heart was beating fast, and she whispered, "Miss, why don't we give some medical expenses?" Shopkeeper Helian was right. After all, this was a black market. Losing money was a small matter. Miss must not get into trouble here. "You are a good girl." Shopkeeper Helian sneered contemptuously, "I don't ask for much. In addition to the 10,000 taels, leave another 30,000 taels of silver, and the matter will be settled. You can also leave the black market in peace!" "What if you don't give it?" Jiang Suining looked directly at the other party and asked. 30,000 taels of silver, he really said it. Duke Yang brought 70,000 taels to the black market, and more than half of it was taken in a short time. Could it be that the black market makes a profit from this? "It's hard to find this buddy of mine. If you don't pay him, he can't treat his injuries. If he dies, you will cause me to lose my buddy, then I can only let you leave your life here." As he said, Shopkeeper Helian glanced at Ma Wulang, who numbly pulled out the short blade from his sleeve. The short blade was shining with a cold blue light under the candlelight, and it was obvious that it was coated with poison. "Don't do anything stupid!" Xier stood in front of Jiang Suining and stretched out her hand to protect her. At the same time, she said to Cheng Du, "Our young lady paid you the money. If something happens to the young lady, you will never get the remaining money!" Cheng Du shrugged helplessly. He first persuaded Helian and Ma Wulang to stay calm, and then said to Jiang Suining. "Didn't you just say that you don't need money? Just do what they say. In this black market, being able to exchange money for life is already..." "Except for the 10,000 taels agreed in the contract, I won't give you a penny." Jiang Suining interrupted Cheng Du directly. This firm tone made even Cheng Du stunned. Shopkeeper Helian's face darkened instantly, "It seems that you want money but not life!" "I want money, and I want life too." Jiang Suining's eyes fell on the dagger in Ma Wulang's hand, and suddenly sneered, "If Shopkeeper Helian thinks that we are weak women and thinks that you can make us hand over the silver by threatening us, then you can only say that your wishful thinking is wrong." Shopkeeper Helian's face was unnatural for a moment, but then his eyes stared at Jiang Suining more and more gloomily. "What do you mean by this?" "It means that although the black market is not subject to the laws of the court, it has its own set of operating rules. If the business of this bank wants to last long, it naturally cannot be this kind of thing of taking advantage of the fire and raising the price. So, I believe that Shopkeeper Helian dare not do anything to me, let alone kill me. Otherwise..." Jiang Suining's tone paused slightly, and his eyes became more determined. "If you break the rules, your landlord will probably not forgive you." Shopkeeper Helian obviously did not expect Jiang Suining to say this, frowning and darkening his face, his expression became more fierce. "Humph, I originally wanted you to pay some money to settle the matter, but I didn't expect that you, a little girl, would dare to bring up the landlord to scare me. In this case, if you don't leave all the money, don't even think about leaving alive!" As the voice of Helian, the shopkeeper, fell, Ma Wulang had already started to approach Jiang Suining with a dagger. Xier hurriedly wanted to step forward to stop him, but was grabbed by Jiang Suining. She looked at Ma Wulang and said with a tense expression: "I don't believe you really dare to kill a guest so casually." Helian, the shopkeeper, frowned more and more fiercely, and Ma Wulang got closer and closer. When he was only one step away from Jiang Suining, Ma Wulang finally stopped and turned to look at Helian, the shopkeeper. Seeing that Jiang Suining was still not scared after all this, the latter was very disappointed, but he could only stop and signaled Ma Wulang to retreat. He said in an unhappy tone: "You look so weak, but you are so brave. But you are right." The rules set by the owner of the building, in order to ensure long-term business, customers who come to this black market cannot be killed casually! Xier's heart was in her throat. She was relieved when she heard this and subconsciously looked at her own lady. Jiang Suining's tense expression also eased a lot. After thinking for a while, he said, "What if I agreed just now?" "Then you can only blame yourself for being timid and not having the qualifications to keep these silver and money." "Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules?" "Sign a contract to treat Wulang and make a voluntary gift, so it won't be considered breaking the rules of the owner of the building." Shopkeeper Helian said nonchalantly. This trick has scared many people before, and it has been successful many times. When he saw the person in front of him, he thought it was a done deal and he would definitely be able to scare money out. But he didn't expect that a weak woman would be so brave. "Your courage doesn't look like that of an ordinary woman. Are you a spy from the government?" Shopkeeper Helian narrowed his eyes and cast a suspicious look on Jiang Suining. "Shopkeeper Helian, you are talking nonsense just because you didn't cheat the money? If the court is really so incompetent that they sent a woman like me to be a spy, then you don't have to be afraid of the court in the black market." Jiang Suining's tone was a little unhappy about being suspected. Shopkeeper Helian thought for a while, "That makes sense, but you are indeed bold." Jiang Suining lowered her eyes and said bitterly, "This silver was left to me by my father at a huge risk. Now he has been exiled. No matter what, I can't let his hard work go to waste." Hearing what Jiang Suining said, Shopkeeper Helian didn't say anything more. He handed the silver to her and completed the business. When she walked out of the bank, Jiang Suining felt that Cheng Du's eyes were always on her, so she stopped and said. "Do you suspect I'm a spy for the imperial court?" "That's not the case." Cheng Du shook his head. "But, were you really not afraid just now?" Jiang Suining did not answer immediately, but raised his hand and spread out his palm, on which there were blood marks from being pinched by fingernails. "What do you think?" Cheng Du looked at the blood marks, and the next moment, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms. "This is the best wound medicine on the black market." Before Jiang Suining took it, he said again. "One hundred taels of silver per bottle, no bargaining!"
