Chapter 317 Tricky
Li Taohua raised her eyes and smiled, "Why are you suddenly so anxious?"
Qin Huiyin smiled sweetly: "It's just right that I'm going to Beijing with my elder brother, so we can look after each other."
"That's not what you said before." Tang Luwu came over and placed the customer's newly ordered menu in front of Li Taohua. She continued, "You said that Big Brother had just entered the government and was focused on official business. If we go over now, it would be a distraction. We should let Big Brother work for two years first, and then we can slowly transfer our business to the capital."
"Did you receive another letter from that kid from the Song family?" Li Taohua calculated the account, wrote down a number, and continued to calculate the next one. "What did he say this time?"
"My brother didn't say anything." Qin Huiyin said, "I heard that the capital is prosperous and wealthy, and I thought I could make more money by doing business there!"
Shang Zimo came over, broke the new sandwich from the fast food section in half, and handed one half to Tang Luwu: "Chef Lin gave it to me. Let me try the new thing and see how it tastes."
Tang Luwu said, "Then you eat."
"Half each." Shang Zimo insisted on giving it to Tang Luwu.
Tang Luwu took it.
She looked at Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua, feeling a little embarrassed to eat alone.
"He gave it to you, eat it quickly!" Qin Huiyin said, "You brought him back, please take good care of him."
Shang Zimo had a miserable life and was too thin, so the shop assistants took extra care of him. They even let him taste any delicious food the chefs prepared first.
It's called a food tasting, but actually it's just feeding him, hoping to make him fat and white.
Good-looking people are always particularly popular, not to mention that this good-looking person has such a miserable life experience. Wouldn't everyone in the store love him well?
"Is it delicious?" Tang Luwu asked Shang Zimo.
Shang Zimo nodded repeatedly.
The next day, Qin Huiyin stepped into Rong's house again.
This time when I went to Rong's house, I happened to see a carriage coming out of Rong's house.
"That's the Third Miss returning to the old house." Seeing Qin Huiyin looking at the carriage, the housekeeper explained to her, "The Third Miss's marriage has been decided, and it's time to prepare for her wedding."
Qin Huiyin entered Rong Jingbo's study again.
Rong Jingbo said, "I've sent people to investigate. The bandit leader is an escaped death row inmate with extremely high martial arts skills. He has gathered a group of desperate criminals and has committed a number of murders recently."
"If we report it to the authorities, will they accept it?"
"Unless the imperial court sends out troops to suppress the bandits, the few runners from the government offices will just be sent to the door to add to the burden. I mean, it's better to lose money than to suffer disaster."
"One thousand taels of silver per head. They have fifteen of our escort leaders in their hands, so that's fifteen thousand taels of silver. Besides, we can't take the goods away."
This is not just a loss of money, it is a complete bankruptcy.
If this was the only option, she would certainly buy someone's life. However, she was unwilling to be controlled by these bandits. She had to save the person, but she couldn't lose her money.
"Thank you, President Rong. I will consider it." Qin Huiyin stood up and said goodbye.
"Those bandits are murderous and won't be satisfied with just a small amount of money. My Rong family has some connections. If we step in, we might be able to negotiate with them."
"Mr. Qin, your followers are looking for you at the door." Rong Jie said.
"I understand." Qin Huiyin thanked Rong Jingbo again and left Rong's house.
Song Yi came over and said to Qin Huiyin, "General Manager Jiang Qingnan has taken his men to Tongnan Mountain. He asked me to tell the boss not to worry."
"What does he want to do?" Qin Huiyin frowned. "The other party is a death row inmate who has killed countless people. He has gathered a group of desperate criminals. None of them are afraid of death."
"After the incident happened, Manager Jiang sent a pigeon to send a letter to Master Song. I must have received Master Song's reply just now, so I rushed over." Song Yi said.
Qin Huiyin was still worried, so she wrote a letter to Song Ruize, asking him if he had given any advice to Jiang Qingnan.
"How many people did Jiang Qingnan bring with him?"
Song Yi said: "More than seventy people!"
"Our military factory has just finished a batch of armor and weapons..." Qin Huiyin said, "Song Yi, take Song Er, Song San, and Song Si to escort these weapons and catch up with them."
"Song Si will stay to protect you. Master Song said that you can't leave anyone by your side. I'll take Song Er and Song San with me to deliver the weapons."
Song Yi was Qin Huiyin's shadow, always following behind her. Of course, he knew how powerful those weapons were. If Master Song meant to fight them head-on, then all they could do was to use the best weapons, wear the strongest armor, eat the most convenient and delicious food, and catch those bandits off guard.
Qin Huiyin went to the military factory in person to count the things, and asked Song Yi, Song Er, and Song San to order a group of escorts to escort the things out of the city.
Rong Jingbo rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing that the factory had been cleared out, he frowned and said, "This batch of goods is going to be sent to the border."
"President Rong, you said that the ordinary runners of the government are useless and can't deal with bandits. Now, my brother's men are risking their lives to save their companions and eliminate harm for the people. They are obviously not government officials, but now they are doing government work. At this moment, they are also brave warriors. It is only natural that they should use this batch of goods first."
"Mr. Qin is right. But this is too dangerous."
"Yes, it's too dangerous. However, such a dangerous thing always needs someone to do it." Qin Huiyin said, "If such a villain lives one more day, who knows how many innocent people will die tragically."
"The Rong family is willing to contribute. Let me put it this way, I will send someone to follow immediately. If we can help, our people will do their best to help." Rong Jingbo said.
"Thank you, President Rong."
Of course she wouldn't refuse.
The seventy people Jiang Qingnan took away should be the elites left here by Song Ruize. They are dealing with desperate criminals, people like that are playing with their lives, and one more person means more strength.
Everything has been arranged here, and all that’s left is to wait for news.
Qin Huiyin was a weak woman after all, and didn't understand fighting and killing. Now, when she encountered such a situation, besides waiting for the men to deal with it, she could only work hard on logistics.
Others who traveled through time either had power or a golden hand, but she only had a destitute farmhouse and a few sickly NPC family members. The god of time travel probably didn't even know how to get her some kind of martial arts manual or something, so she wouldn't be so passive. Look, she doesn't have the aura of a heroine at all. She used to be cannon fodder, now she's just an ordinary passerby.
"Boss, the pigeon is here again." The waiter appeared holding the pigeon.
"Let me see." Qin Huiyin couldn't wait to take the pigeon.
He opened the note, which read: "Don't worry. I already know about the escort agency and have figured out a way to crack it. Just wait for them to return safely."
