Chapter 199

The person who spoke was a handsome young man, but he was not the only one who came over, but also several strong men with big waists and round waists and straight faces. He looked like he was not a good man. This made Xiang Daxing feel alert and took a step back.

At this time, Li Ling, who was slow, officially turned around. After gaze on the young man's face for a while, he burped and said, "You... why are you here in the capital?"

"If you can come, can't I come?" The young master on the opposite side snorted softly. After hearing the familiar conversation between the two, Xiang Daxing finally felt relieved and looked at Li Ling: "Wen Zhong..."

Although Li Ling was still very impatient, he could understand what he meant, so he forced a smile and said, "I have to go to the yamen tomorrow, so I won't have to send me back. I'll go back with my friends."

"That's it, be careful on the way." Xiang Daxing looked at him again, and after confirming that he was telling the truth, he then clasped his fists to the other people, gave him enough courtesy, and turned around and left.

After a while, a carriage drove over, and Li Ling was supported by two of the strong men. Then the "Young Master" followed, and even carried a food box in his hand. He got on the car and put it on the short table in the middle.

Li Ling's mind was still drowsy. He leaned against the wall of the carriage and didn't say anything. He just watched the other party open the food box, take out the things inside, pour some soup into the soup bowl, and then pushed it in front of him: "Drink these sober soups, and relieve the bar."

"Thank you." Li Ling struggled to take the soup bowl, and drank a bowl of sour soup without hesitation. Sure enough, the sober soup was a little tricky. After one bowl of sobering soup, he woke up a lot. He looked up and saw the other party looking at him with a smile: "You are really not at all prepared. Are you not afraid of what I do in the soup?"

Li Ling put down the bowl, leaned against the wall of the car, and smiled on his face: "You and I have no grudges, but I have helped save you, why are you worried that you will harm me? Yang...Girl."

The one who suddenly appeared in front of Li Ling was the eldest lady of the Cao Gang, Yang Qingxiao. However, this time her outfit was different from when she was disguised as her brother on the boat. She was much less heroic and had many flaws, so Li Ling recognized her with a drunken glance.

Hearing this, her two willow eyebrows raised slightly: "That's not sure. After all, you are an official now, and I am a person in the world. It is inevitable that there will be grudges you don't know."

"If this is true, you will not show up. If you really want to attack a small person like me, those outside the car can easily solve it." Li Ling grinned, "So you can't scare me."

"Hmph, you are quite smart." At this point, Yang Qingxiao also laughed, "Since that's the case, then you guess again, why did I come to the capital this time?"

"It's really hard to guess this. After all, your Cao Gang also has a lot of business industries here in Luoyang. It's not surprising that you were ordered by your brother to go there... It's for the Qin Family Bookstore, right?"

Originally, Yang Qingxiao had a little playful smile on her face, but then she retracted and opened her mouth slightly: "You guessed it at once?"

"What's the problem? It's just that I'm related to me, so you came to see me."

"Hmph, who came to see you specifically? It just happened to happen that who told you to have shares in the Chunhelou that you treated you this time."

"So that's it. I said why your news is so well-informed, and I just blocked me here." Li Ling smiled and no longer got entangled with the other party about the previous problems. "Miss Yang, are you ordered to talk to me about the business of Qin Family Bookstore?"

"Yeah." Yang Qingxiao also put away the expression of her younger daughter just now and said with a serious expression, "Do you really think this bookstore is still helpful? But as far as we know before, there are no less than ten bookstores in Luoyang City, which almost take care of all bookmarket business. Even if you change the original Qin Family Bookstore, you may not be able to make any business."

"I don't think so, it's because of humans. Although Qin Family Bookstore did fall into depravity before, as long as I get started, it will always bring back its life. If your friends from the Cao Gang can trust me, you can work with me and everyone has money to make money together, how about it?"

Looking at Li Ling's confident look, Yang Qingxiao bit her lower lip again: "You are really sure to make money, just relying on those simple tools and more than a dozen people who have left behind?"

"There will naturally be a lot of tools in the future, but it's enough now. As for making money, as long as I give me some time, I will definitely make money. I believe that after these days, you should also find out some things about me. When I know that I was in Jiangcheng, Hengzhou Prefecture, and Xuzhou, I had been related to bookstore transactions."

"Yes, we have visited the Zongheng Bookstore you opened with others, and we have a lot of ideas. However, it is possible to succeed in the local area, and it may not be possible to put it in the capital. After all, if you really want to learn your stuff, it will only be more attractive than you."

Li Ling smiled: "I know, so I don't plan to play like this in Luoyang this time..."

"Do you think that newspaper can really make money?" Yang Qingxiao asked again, with suspiciousness in her tone.

"I dare not say 10% of the time, but there is always 70% to 80% sure." After Li Ling said that, his eyes met him without a moment, which made the girl feel a little blushed and deliberately dodged: "But you are still an official in the court. By the way, you have not yet congratulated you on passing the Jinshi exam and becoming a decree official in the court."

"Thank you, this is never conflicting with business and business. I also believe that with my ability, I can do both. Of course, if you are not at ease, you can send someone to watch in the bookstore..."

"Then I'm sure I'll see with my own eyes what skills you have to make a bookstore that is about to close prosperous again!"

Yang Qingxiao's words made Li Ling suddenly stunned, and he always felt that he had been plotted against. After shook his head, he hesitated and asked: "So... Miss Yang, you are going to live in Luoyang for a longer time this time, and are you planning to stay with me in the bookstore's business?"

"What, is there any problem?"

"No, no problem." Li Ling shook his head. He had originally intended to do this business with the Cao Gang. Now that Yang Qingxiao comes here, it is indeed better than ordinary Cao Gang people. After all, the relationship between the two is quite harmonious, and he is also a smart person. Often, it is most convenient for smart people to communicate and cooperate with smart people.

"Then that's it. By the way, when do you plan to officially get out that newspaper?"

"In just one or two months, I have already made a comprehensive consideration. Just wait until both of us have agreed and my friends from the city arrive in the capital, these things will be officially put on the agenda." Li Ling had already planned and said immediately.

Yang Qingxiao did not question any more this time, but just smiled and nodded: "Then I have to have a good experience."

Having said that, after the business talks, the carriage was still rolling forward, far from Li Ling's residence, which made the atmosphere in the car suddenly become a little strange. Because it was not until this time that the two realized that this was a lonely man and a widow who lived in the same room, but it was a bit ambiguous.

Li Ling had a slightly slow mind and had a later life thinking, so she didn't care much about this. Yang Qingxiao was different. Although she was a child of the world and was not care about the details on her daily life, she was always a little uncomfortable now, so she could only talk to her: "By the way, I heard that you have been in a bad state recently."

"How did you know this?" Li Ling raised his eyebrows and felt strange. Only Li Moyun knew about his situation in the Ministry of Revenue. He believed that Mo Yun was definitely not a talkative person. Now even Yue'er and the others don't know their situation, but how did she know?

Yang Qingxiao smiled and said, "Didn't it just your colleagues say it after drinking? Also, I looked at it. Those invited by you today are all small officials and servants, and there are not many officials. Naturally, you can see some clues."

"Okay, Miss Yang is really smart." Li Ling smiled bitterly, and did not intend to hide it anymore. He said truthfully: "I did encounter some trouble in the Ministry of Revenue. An opponent relied on the Qing Lisi Department where I was, his uncle, and suppressed me many times..."

Li Ling didn't want to tell Yue'er and the others that he would avoid them from worrying, but in front of Yang Qingxiao, a friend who was not very familiar with, he had no worries and said it directly.

After listening to his story, Yang Qingxiao's eyebrows suddenly stood up and her pretty face turned cold: "They actually bullied you like this? Do you need me to teach them a lesson for you?"

"Don't! Things in the officialdom are very different from those in your world. If you really attack, no matter you and I will suffer endless troubles." Li Ling hurriedly spoke and dissuaded.

"Then are you just tolerant?"

Seeing the other party feeling unfair for him, Li Ling felt warm in his heart, and his smile became more and more sincere: "This is not called tolerance, but a temporary retreat."

“Is there any difference?”

"Of course, I'm just looking for another opportunity to fight back, but I'm not really afraid of them. Miss Yang, don't forget that I, Li Ling, have never been a good man and a trustworthy woman. How could I really allow them to deceive me like this?"

Yang Qingxiao then remembered the decisiveness of Li Ling stabbing the imperial general to death by the Caohe River that day, and accepted this statement: "I understand a little. By the way, you invited these people together to drink today and took out so much money to buy them. Could it be to deal with that doctor Dai?"

"Well..." Li Ling hesitated for a moment, as if he had not made up his mind whether to express his true thoughts. As a result, the vehicle stopped, and a bold voice sounded outside: "Miss, Mr. Li, you are here, you can get off the car."
