PDLP Chapter 166 Finding Wealth in Danger
Chapter 166 Finding Wealth in Danger
At the request of the guards, Qin Bingrui was invited into the front hall of the palace, and the people from the Imperial City Bureau were arranged to wait in the front yard.
Prince Ning Zhu Jinyou had just finished training with his guards and entered the room when he saw Qin Bingrui slumped in a chair with a lazy look on his face. The little princess beside him had her eyes wide open and her eyes never left her.
Seeing Prince Ning enter the front hall, the little princess immediately went over and tugged at his sleeve to complain: "Brother Jinyou, this arrogant woman bullied me!"
The wicked are the first to complain, and she is really the one who does it.
Qin Bingrui chuckled. If someone else laughed like this, it would be very vulgar, but her face looked extremely charming when she laughed.
"I just said I was your old lover, and your sister wanted to whip me to death."
Prince Ning was in a headache. Hua Shuqing was annoying enough, and now there was a female Rakshasa, so getting a wife was indeed a troublesome thing.
"Brother Jinyou, it's fine if she says she's your old lover, but she also says I'm yours, your daughter."
The little princess, who had always been disrespectful, blushed with embarrassment.
Zhu Jinyou gave Qin Bingrui a fierce look, and he immediately put his hands behind his back and looked up, pretending to be stupid.
"Miss Qin, speak."
Zhu Jinyou sat back in his seat, leaning lazily, supporting his chin with one hand, and his cold eyes shot towards Qin Bingrui.
"It looks like there's a generation gap between us. I'm not saying you're old, I'm saying the little princess looks young."
"You're talking nonsense. Who said I'm young? I'm already fifteen years old and can get married soon."
Prince Ning sneered coldly: "So you mean, I look old?"
"It's nothing, actually. Your Highness Prince Ning, you are majestic and look like a mature man of twenty-five or twenty-six, while the little princess looks like a childish twelve or thirteen. Besides, don't all your princes get married early? It's normal to have a few concubines. If they didn't take proper precautions, having a daughter this old is actually normal..."
Qin Bingrui's voice became increasingly quiet, because besides Prince Ning's sharp eyes, the little princess's face was as red as a steamed crab. Song Si, who was standing next to Prince Ning, almost had her eyes rolling down her cheeks. The maids behind him were all blushing...
"What a Miss Ling Hong! She is indeed a woman who has seen the world and dares to say anything."
He didn't get angry or scold her.
But his tone was extremely cold, "Why did you come to see me this time?"
The little princess stood there for a while, then stomped her feet and rushed out of the main hall.
It seems that evil people really need to be ruled by evil people.
Seeing a playful smile on the prince's lips, Qin Bingrui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is this little girl difficult to deal with?"
"You are so good, you can say anything. You have made me look several years older."
"No way, you're only in your early twenties?"
Qin Bingrui pretended to be surprised and said, if you want to act, you have to act it out completely!
"You look like a girl of eighteen or nineteen, but you call the younger-looking Bai girl "sister." Aren't you just trying to avoid admitting your age?"
"I'm different from you. No matter how much younger Miss Bai is than me, she is still my sister. You don't understand the respect and love I have in my heart."
"Let's get down to business! Why didn't Miss Bai come?"
"Oh, by the way, don't get scared after we finish talking about serious matters. Whether you agree or not, don't get angry."
As soon as I heard this, I knew it was not a good thing.
"Then you better stop talking."
Qin Bingrui: ...
He had to say it, Qin Bingrui grinned and made faces, which made Zhu Jinyou so disgusted that his face turned pale.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, if you help us this time, I will definitely give you a good gift."
"What's the gift? Tell me about it."
"Listen to our plan first. What if you're interested? Besides, don't you want to make a lot of money too? Let's make it together!"
"Do you think I'm short of money?"
"How would I know if you're in need of it? But money is something no one can ever have too much of. By the way, can you run your business outside under your own name?"
"What do you ask for this?"
"Your Highness cannot engage in business, nor can he train his troops. However, this only prohibits the surface, not the root."
"Miss Qin, you know a lot."
"Of course. Actually, making money this time is secondary. The main thing is the process of making money, which is exciting and thrilling. As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger. Isn't life too boring if it's too dull?
You see, although Sister Luo Yu and I are two women, we both want to make some waves, otherwise our boring life will be so boring!"
"You're being hunted down and ended up like this. That's completely different from pursuing thrills and excitement!"
Qin Bingrui clicked his tongue twice.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, you're mistaken. From the moment my sister and I entered the treacherous martial arts world, we decided to dedicate our lives to this troubled world. Unfortunately, we were still young and had no support. But now it's different. We've grown stronger..."
"Let's get down to business."
Qin Bingrui put away his forced smile and told Zhu Jinyou all of Luo Yu's plans.
He finished speaking in one breath and drank the tea poured beside him.
Look at Zhu Jinyou's face again, it's unusually calm.
He didn't seem surprised that this was their plan, and there was even an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Qin Bingrui poured himself a cup of tea and asked Song Si: "When is dinner ready? Can you give me some extra food that can be stored for the journey?"
"I'm not the housekeeper, what are you telling me?"
After listening to this, Song Si secretly sighed that this was something these two girls could do. They were able to fool the people from the Imperial City Bureau, hijack their ship, and even make them help count the money. Only they could do it...
"Song Si, I'm telling you, how can you still be so rude even though we've known each other for so long? Besides, you lost my white tiger. Do you know what happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Jinyou said slowly in a low voice: "If I say I can help you, but you have to tell me how you can find the White Tiger?"
"I didn't say I could find the White Tiger!"
"Humph, you dare to fool the people of the Imperial City Bureau when you can't find the White Tiger? Don't you want to live?"
Qin Bingrui sighed deeply, raised his eyes and moved, then smiled and said, "It's okay. My sister and I never thought about going back alive."
"Okay, if you're really that aware, I can give Wangzhou City a try. But you have to promise me that you won't reveal that the grain is coming from me."
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ning, if we make any money this time, you will definitely get a share."
"You are really something, you dare to make money from disasters."
"Haha, my sister said, why not make money from the rich and help the poor? It will benefit everyone."
"..."
They're all crazy, but very interesting.
Zhu Jinyou also wondered if the Qingyang Marquisate would be so furious. The Marquis's heir's sister was merely a favored imperial concubine, yet they dared to act so arrogantly. However, it was said that Imperial Concubine Mo's eldest son, the Fifth Prince, was twelve years old this year and had already shown his talent among the other princes, earning him great favor from his brother, the Emperor. Perhaps this was the reason for the Qingyang Marquisate's complacency...
If he really got involved in this mess, he might not be able to get out safely without any consequences.
However, he couldn't resist the urge to get involved, and since Prince Rui's Mansion was willing to get involved, he took the opportunity to join in the fun!
Miss Luo Yu was indeed not as delicate and weak as she looked. As to whether she really liked making money, Zhu Jinyou was deeply skeptical.
The letters she left in the palace must have all been tampered with. None of them are similar to her current handwriting. This shows that this woman is very shrewd and thoughtful. From the first step she took, she had already thought about the next dozens of steps.
What is the purpose of all this?
Qin Bingrui stood up and handed Zhu Jinyou a list of distilled liquor. He whispered a few words in his ear about the purpose of the distilled liquor and said with a smile, "Your Highness Prince Ning will help us apply for a winemaking license. We will specially produce some highly fragrant and delicious liquor. Before long, we will be rich enough to rival a city."
"Are you sure this method can really reduce the infection rate of wounds?"
"Of course, if our story is accidentally exposed and the Emperor blames us, you can take this list and ask for mercy on our behalf. As long as this information is promoted in the army and on the battlefield, it will definitely help the vast majority of soldiers and greatly reduce the death rate."
Zhu Jinyou smiled helplessly, thinking that these two women didn't need him and could still beg for a way out for him in front of the emperor.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Qin Bingrui said casually, "Your Highness Prince Ning, how about helping me to gather food? Oh, and I'd also like to have the best carriages ready for transporting the food, and assign some martial arts experts with good skills to guard the food. Is that okay with you?"
"..."
