Chapter 213: This girl came here by herself?
After hearing Xiu Luoran's words, Lin Rong smiled and nodded, then turned to Su Yiwen:
"Sir, Miss Xiu's father, Marquis Zhenxi, is my former employer."
Su Yiwen knew Lin Rong very well; he was a proud and arrogant man.
The fact that he could be so polite to the girl in front of him at least showed that there was someone in the Xiu family whom he respected and admired.
It also shows that the Xiu family members are not bad people, as his originally stern face now has a hint of smile.
Su Yiwen guessed that the person who knew the news that Lin Rong just mentioned might be this Marquis Zhenxi.
He asked Xiu Luoran: "Miss Xiu, how is my son now?"
Xiu Luoran felt that the person who could make Lin Rong follow him should not be a corrupt official.
Xiu Luoran smiled: "Master Su was beaten badly by me, don't worry, Master Su, it's just a superficial wound, no bones were broken."
Su Yiwen was relieved. It was time to teach that brat a lesson.
Lin Rong asked Xiu Luoran: "Miss Xiu, who accompanied you here? What do you want to do? See if I can help."
"Mr. Lin, I came here by myself.
I wanted to build a warehouse here, and my people had already bought a house, but I didn't expect to be obstructed by Mr. Su in many ways.
My people had no choice but to call me here.”
Su Yiwen and Lin Rong were both surprised. This girl came here by herself?
How old is she? Maybe fifteen or sixteen. Is her family willing to let her travel so far alone?
Xiu Luoran knew what Lin Su and the others were thinking as soon as she saw their expressions. She explained:
"I still have some ability to protect myself, so my family can rest assured."
Su Yiwen asked again, "Where is my son now? I will send someone to call him back.
Miss Xiu has just arrived in Yangshan Province. I guess she has a lot of things to deal with, right?"
This is an eviction order.
Xiu Luoran clasped his fists and said, "Master Su is still in my house. I'll take my leave now."
Xiu Luoran left.
Lin Rong sighed and said, "It's a pity that the young master of the Xiu family is not here. Otherwise, I could ask him indirectly and maybe I could find out some useful information."
“Brother Lin, this Miss Xiu dared to come to Yangshan alone, she must have some skills.
Have you seen her before? It's not that I'm suspicious, it's just that the current situation in the capital is too complicated."
“I understand, sir, she is not pretending to be someone she is to say that her elder brother is very good.
Your Excellency may not know that Zhenxi Marquis Xiu Yuancang has three legitimate sons, all of whom are older than this girl.
Since she didn't ask me which brother I was asking about, it means she knows that her eldest brother and I are good friends."
Su Yiwen nodded: "I noticed that too. After you told her who you were, her attitude softened a lot.
Brother Lin, I think you can go check it out and help out."
“Even if the lord doesn’t tell me, I still want to go and see it, to fulfill my duty as a host and repay the Xiu family’s kindness.
When I left Beijing, the Xiu family gave me a large sum of money. Otherwise, I would have lost my life."
Lin Rong's health was very poor when he was young, and his family was poor, so he never took good care of himself.
The death of his mother was a huge blow to him and he almost died. Fortunately he had money and was able to hire a great doctor.
"Then Brother Lin will take a few people and call that bastard back, and you stay to help."
"Okay sir."
……
Xiu Luoran knew that Lin Rong might come to see her because the Xiu family had been very kind to him, but she didn't expect him to come so soon.
Lin Rong first looked at Su Jie and found that he had no serious injuries.
He asked someone to bring Su Jie and those people back, and then he started chatting with Xiu Luoran.
He asked about Xiu Yuancang and Xiu Lingce's recent situation, and Xiu Luoran told him:
"My father trains the soldiers all the time every day, as if he never leaves the barracks.
My eldest brother is already married, and my eldest sister-in-law is the daughter of Prince An, a princess.
They are a loving couple and live a sweet life.
Besides accompanying my eldest sister-in-law, my eldest brother also goes to the Third Prince's Mansion to accompany the Third Prince. They have been friends since childhood."
Lin Rong probed, "Your eldest brother's leg is not very good, and the third prince also has a broken leg, so they can be considered to be in the same boat.
Alas, what a pity, these are the best years of our lives, with a bright future ahead of us..."
Xiu Luoran smiled: "Who says it's not true? Things in the world... are impermanent."
Yu Zongqian came in and handed Xiu Luoran some papers, then left again.
Xiu Luoran said that these were some contracts that needed to be handled by the government, and Lin Rong resolutely expressed his willingness to help.
Xiu Luoran: "Mr. Lin, since you said so, I won't be polite.
Since Mr. Su messed up my warehouse, many things were abandoned halfway.
You are a local and a government official, so please take care of finding someone and signing the contract, Mr. Lin."
Lin Rong agreed to it all: "Of course, of course, these are just small matters.
Write down what you want to do and give me the contract. I will do it for you when I get back. It will be quick."
"That's great. Now that I've settled things here, I'm going to Shuangliang City."
Shuangliang City is the second largest city in Yangshan Province.
Lin Rong was stunned: "Why are you going to Shuangliang City?"
"Building a warehouse."
“How many warehouses do you want to build?”
Xiu Luoran told Lin Rong: "Let's build three or four in each province."
Lin Rong: "In which provinces have you built warehouses?"
Is this girl’s business so big?
"From the capital city down south to the southernmost province, we'll build one in every province."
Xiu Luoran hadn't said it yet, she planned to go north from the capital all the way to the northernmost province, Yejian.
Lin Rong thought to himself, this girl is really generous. Not to mention how much money it will cost, just the scale of this project is not something that ordinary people can have.
“Miss Xiu, I can’t tell you about other provinces, but I can help you in Yangshan Province.”
Xiu Luoran was very happy: "This is already very good. Further south, the governor of Ningyang Province is my second uncle, and I also know the governor-general of three provinces, Lei Hanting. They can all help."
Lin Rong was very surprised: "Zhang Xuwei is your second uncle?"
"Yes, dear uncle."
Ningyang Province and Yangshan Province are neighboring provinces. Even if Lin Rong didn't know Zhang Xuwei, he had probably heard of his name. Xiu Luoran didn't find it strange.
"Do you still know Lei Hanting?"
"Yes, I helped him a little."
Hearing this, Lin Rong couldn't sit still:
"Miss Xiu, you have so many things to do, I won't waste your time. I will take care of all your things right away."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
"You're welcome."
Lin Rong soon returned to the Yangshan Provincial Governor's Office, where Governor Su Yiwen was teaching his son Su Jie a lesson:
"I've already told you that Mr. Wu is not a good person and you should stay away from him, but you insist on associating with him.
You have a dog brain. Don't you think about it? This person came from Beijing to do business here. Can he be an ordinary person?
Does he have no backing? Is he someone you can bully?
Is it that Mr. Wu who instigated you to buy a house again this time?"
Su Jie: “Yes.”
"You idiot!"
After scolding his son, Su Yiwen called the housekeeper and ordered:
"From today on, you are not allowed to leave the house, otherwise I will hold you accountable!
If you can't keep an eye on him anymore, you can quit being a housekeeper and go back to your hometown to farm."
The housekeeper immediately said, "This old servant will definitely take good care of the Third Young Master."
Su Yiwen added, "Also, pass the word down. If that Master Wu comes to our house again, don't be polite. Beat him out directly. Beat him hard!"
"Understood, sir."
The butler took Su Jie away.
Lin Rong walked to Su Yiwen and said softly:
"Sir, that news is 90% true."
