Nian Ruipeng thought he heard wrongly, so he plucked his ears and asked sarcastically: "I can't afford it, so you can afford it?"

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Yan and said in a provocative tone: "Is it possible that you are going to ask Chang'an Hou Shizi to help you advance the payment?"

No matter what Nian Ruipeng said, Zhou Yan remained motionless and didn't even give him an extra look. If he hadn't been holding the teacup, Nian Ruipeng would have thought he was asleep.

Zhao Jie also knew that Nian Ruipeng would not believe his words, so he immediately took out a 10,000 tael silver note from his waist. "Open your dog eyes and see what this is."

Nian Ruipeng didn't expect that Zhao Jie could actually come up with ten thousand taels. He immediately looked at him with wide eyes, "The Zhao family...the Zhao family is not..."

"Even those three people know that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, why can't you think about it so hard?" Zhao Jie chuckled, took back the banknote, and continued, "Besides, the Nian family is in great danger, if you can

It would be a good thing for the Nian family to turn the tide."

"You fart!" Even in front of Zhou Yan this time, Nian Ruipeng couldn't hold it back and cursed at Zhao Jie, "You are just jealous that the Nian family's business is getting better and better, stealing the limelight from your Zhao family.

, just talking nonsense..."

"Then why don't you tell me what kind of business the Nian family is doing that is so profitable?" Zhao Jie interrupted him rudely, "This is exactly what I want to bet with you on. I bet that your Nian family is making fairy ointment.

This business can make people bankrupt, and if you do this business, you won’t even be able to go to the eighteenth level of hell after death..."

This time, before Zhao Jie could finish speaking, Nian Ruipeng punched him, but was lightly hit on the wrist by the folding fan in Zhou Yan's hand, causing him to whimper in pain and fall to the ground.

Regardless of the pain in his hand, he climbed up to Zhou Yan and explained: "Your Majesty, please don't believe this villain's nonsense! Our Nian family is very disciplined in doing business. If not, it would be impossible to become a supplier to the Crown Prince's Mansion!

This is something that even the Zhao family has never done!"

"Would you know if it's true or not if you go back and check it out? Besides, since you are so confident, why don't you dare to make a bet with Zhao Jie?" Zhou Yan finally spoke.

"Okay, let's bet!" Nian Ruipeng stood up holding his arms, "My Nian family has no shame in doing business, and there is no way that there is that Laoshizi fairy ointment he mentioned! If there is, Ruipeng will definitely send his father to the hospital in person

In front of the Crown Prince!"

He had already offended his son once last time. Nian Ruipeng did not dare to challenge Zhou Yan. Since Zhou Yan said whatever he said, he would do it. If he wanted to bet, then he would bet. Anyway, Nian Ruipeng was sure that the Nian family had a clear conscience.

Zhao Jie was well prepared. He immediately took out the bet agreement, found pen and ink from the room, and stuffed it into Nian Ruipeng's arms: "Sign and pledge, otherwise I'm afraid you won't admit defeat if you bet."

Nian Ruipeng was robbed by him and signed the contract. Then he took the 10,000 taels of silver note Zhao Jie gave him, went downstairs and stuffed it into Chun's mother's hands, and left Chunfeng Tower with pride.

I didn't even have time to settle the accounts of the little follower.

When he thought about what Zhao Jie said so confidently, he felt a little angry in his heart.

No matter what, he has to prove the innocence of the Nian family so that the crown prince will look at the Nian family with admiration! It would be best to replace the Zhao family, so that Zhao Jie will no longer be able to stay in Yuzhou City!

With this idea in mind, Nian Ruipeng did not go home. Instead, he was caught off guard and went to a tailor shop that he had frequented since Nian.

The Nian family started out in the fabric business. Although they have engaged in many other industries over the years, they never abandoned the fabric shop.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door of the fabric store, he found that the fabric store had been closed for a long time and was deserted.

He didn't believe in evil and thought it was because it was too late. He came again at noon the next day, but the door of the shop was still closed. On the contrary, there were people from the merchants on both sides of the shop.

Because this matter involved the foundation of the Nian family, Nian Ruipeng had to be cautious. When he came out, he didn't even bring his most trusted servant with him, so he had to go to the merchant in person to inquire about the situation.

Unexpectedly, he only found out after asking that the fabric shop had been closed for more than half a year!

It’s not just this fabric shop. Nian Ruipeng went to several nearby fabric shops and found that they were all empty!

"How is this possible?" He looked at the closed shop door, dumbfounded.

These shops are all the most profitable businesses of the Nian family. How could dad close the shop? What's more, if he closes the shop, where do they get the money they are using now?

The more Nian Ruipeng thought about it, the more panicked he became. He couldn't help but think of what Zhao Jie said at Chunfeng Tower yesterday, and his heart dropped for no reason.

He immediately went home to find his mother and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "I passed by the shop in Guangxian Building today. Why was it closed?"

Mrs. Nian knew her son best and knew that it was impossible for him to visit the Lin family's shop, so she did not tell him about it.

But I didn't expect that one day the news would leak out, so I immediately put down the chopsticks in my hand, stared at my son with a burning gaze and said, "Maybe your father has other arrangements. Why do you think of going to Guangxian Tower? I heard that you yesterday

Cai Hao spent thousands of dollars to buy a romantic relationship with Xiao Hongxiu, so why didn’t he stay at Chunfeng Tower instead of staying at Guangxian Tower?"

As soon as she said this, Nian Ruipeng realized that what Zhao Jie said might be true.

My mother has always been most disgusted with her going to the brothel, but now that she knows that she spends a lot of money in the brothel, she is not angry, which proves that she cares more about Guangxian Tower.

Nian Ruipeng stared at Mrs. Nian again and again, and finally said: "My son didn't know that money was good before, but now he understands the difficulty of making money. You might as well find an opportunity to let dad take me to do business, and save my time."

Be a waste at home."

"How can those businesses be of use to you?" Mrs. Nian smiled and patted her son's hand, "Your father earns so much money just to make you happy, why do you still want to suffer yourself? Did you hear something outside?

Are you talking nonsense?"

Facing his mother's worried gaze, Nian Ruipeng coughed lightly and complained: "I was forced by Zhao Jie. The Zhao family is already in ruins. What qualifications does he have to show off his power in front of me? Mother, just find someone.

Please help me if you get the chance."

"I'll ask your father to go take a look at the shop later. If there's anything you can do to help, I'll ask you to go and help in the shop." Mrs. Nian reluctantly agreed with a smile, but still did not give a specific promise.

After Nian Ruipeng left reluctantly, Mrs. Nian immediately darkened her face and called the servants in Nian Ruipeng's room to ask the young master what happened, but nothing happened.

Mrs. Nian was muttering something strange in her heart, but she didn't know that what she had done was seen by Nian Ruipeng.

He thought of the three words "immortal ointment" in Zhao Jie's mouth. After returning to his room, he took out a small box and hid it secretly. When his servants asked about it, he said: "You ignorant bumpkins, this is

The most popular fairy ointment in Yuzhou City these days! I spent a lot of money to buy it!"

But when he heard that what he touched turned out to be fairy ointment, the boy next to him panicked and immediately went to report it to Mrs. Nian.

Seeing the boy leave, Nian Ruipeng's heart was completely broken?
