As soon as Han Yunxi heard the word "miscarriage" and looked at the pool of blood on the ground, she immediately shouted, "Don't cry! Take me in, hurry up! "
Mu Ling 'er was frightened. "I … I, I have to go …"
"Hurry up!" Han Yunxi shouted angrily.
Mu Ling 'er didn't have time to explain and hurriedly pushed Han Yunxi in. Ning Jing didn't expect Han Yunxi to come over. She asked Mu Ling' er angrily, "Where's the medicine? Where's the doctor? "
Mu Ling 'er was yelled at by these two women. She held back her tears and said, "Sister, I've checked her pulse. Ning Jing's baby can be saved. She urgently needs to take the medicine to prevent miscarriage. I said to find a doctor to be on the safe side."
"What kind of medicine do you need?" Han Yunxi asked.
Mu Ling 'er quickly listed a few medicinal herbs. Han Yunxi directly took them out from her medical bag. To be exact, she took them out from the detoxification system. The medicinal herbs that Mu Ling 'er listed were very common. She still had them in stock in her detoxification system. They were just used to make antidotes. She didn't expect that there would be a time when she would use them to make medicine to prevent miscarriage.
Mu Ling 'er and Ning Jing were very curious, but they didn't have time to ask. After Mu Ling' er confirmed that the medicinal herbs were correct, she immediately went to make the medicine herself.
After Han Yunxi confirmed that Ning Jing was fine for the time being, she hurriedly went out to get rid of the pool of blood in the courtyard.
After she came back, Ning Jing stared at the ceiling in a daze. She didn't know what to think.
Han Yunxi sighed. She didn't know how she would tell Tang Li if something happened to Ning Jing today.
Han Yunxi sat for a long time without saying anything. Ning Jing opened her eyes and looked over. "Han Yunxi …"
Han Yunxi glanced at her and said nothing.
"Han Yunxi, you must think I'm ridiculous, right?" Ning Jing asked with a bitter smile.
Han Yunxi suddenly said coldly, "You're despicable! How could you hide such a big thing from Tang Li?! "
Ning Jing's eyes flashed with bitterness. She didn't want to explain anything. She turned her head and didn't say anything.
Han Yunxi was also silent. Very soon. There were many things that needed to be told to her personally by Tang Li. After Mu Ling'er brought the decoction, Han Yunxi went out to find a doctor.
When she brought the doctor over, Ning Jing had already taken the medicine and fallen asleep.
The doctor examined her, looked at Mu Ling'er's prescription, and added some medicine. He said that although the child was saved, Ning Jing had to stay in bed for a month.
After sending the doctor away, Mu Ling'er finally broke down and cried softly. "Sister, I didn't do it on purpose! I really didn't do it on purpose! "
Han Yunxi then realized that Mu Ling'er had called her "Sister." Looking at Mu Ling'er's teary eyes, Han Yunxi felt helpless. "What's the use of apologizing to me?"
"Sister … boohoo …" Mu Ling'er cried even louder.
Han Yunxi immediately muffled her mouth. "Can't you be quiet? Ning Jing needs to rest! "
Mu Ling'er didn't dare to make a sound. She widened her teary eyes and looked pitiful. She didn't even realize that she had called Han Yunxi "Sister" several times.
Han Yunxi asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"
Mu Ling'er then remembered something else. "Sister, I, I … I got into trouble."
Han Yunxi was shocked. "What is it?"
"I was hunted down by Deacon Jin," Mu Ling'er said timidly.
Han Yunxi was even more shocked. "What exactly happened?"
Only then did Mu Linger tell him the whole story. Last night, she had gone to East Origin Hall's auction house to squander money. In one night, she'd spent 300 to 200 million taels to buy up all the items from last night's auction.
She had just arrived at Myriad Merchant Hall's entrance this morning when she bumped into Deacon Jin. Deacon Jin wanted to kill her. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and escaped in time. Deacon Jin didn't dare to chase after her.
It turned out that Deacon Jin had handed over the East Valley private bank to Fifth Elder last night and was penniless. The news had only spread this morning and the private bank didn't have time to block his limitless gold card. Simply put, because of her extravagant spending last night, the originally penniless Deacon Jin now owed a debt of more than two hundred million.
Two hundred million was just a night's worth of gambling for the Deacon Jin of the past. But to the current Deacon Jin, it was an astronomical figure!
Even if he wanted to pay with his life, his life still belonged to Myriad Merchant Hall!
Han Yunxi was originally a little angry, but when she heard Mu Ling'er's explanation, she almost laughed out loud! She didn't expect Mu Ling'er to be so good at cheating others. No wonder Deacon Jin wanted to kill her.
"Deacon Jin owes a buttload of debt?" Han Yunxi muttered to herself, seeming to have thought of something.
"Sister, I didn't expect things to blow up so big." Mu Ling'er had only wanted to take revenge on Deacon Jin. She didn't expect to cause Deacon Jin so much trouble.
Although a private bank that issued limitless gold cards wasn't like an underground bank like the East Valley private bank, their methods of forcing people to repay their debts were still very frightening. From now on, Deacon Jin's days wouldn't be easy.
"Sister, why don't I sell off the things I bid for at a cheap price? Let him repay as much as he can." Mu Ling'er was ultimately kind-hearted.
"No need. Let him be anxious for a few days." Han Yunxi said calmly. She already had a plan in mind. Deacon Jin was from the Wintercrow Tribe and should know the Wintercrow language. Perhaps this guy would be the key to her turning the tables in Myriad Merchant Hall.
"Ling'er, stay here and take care of Ning Jing. You must keep this a secret, understand? Otherwise, Ning Jing will never forgive you, "Han Yunxi said seriously.
Mu Ling'er nodded vigorously. Only then did Han Yunxi leave, reassured. She pondered how to get Tang Li out of the prison cell to take a look at Ning Jing as she walked towards the conference hall.
The elders in the conference hall were already impatient from waiting. Uncle Cheng was also present. He hadn't even found Deacon Jin's indenture contract before Han Yunxi beat him to it. He had to admit that he admired this woman's ability. It was a pity that this woman's heart was with Long Fei Ye. Otherwise, she would definitely be able to lead the Di Clan in their great cause of reviving Western Qin.
Although Uncle Cheng didn't gain any benefits from the Deacon Jin incident, he still concealed himself without batting an eyelid. He knew that Han Yunxi wouldn't be able to settle the disturbance at the auction and casino no matter what.
As soon as Han Yunxi arrived, all of the elders rose to their feet. After making their salutations, the head elder said, "Someone come, go see if Miss Jing's almost here. Tell her that the princess is already waiting. "
"No need. I sent her to the casino," Han Yunxi said calmly.
First Elder wanted to ask more, but Han Yunxi beat him to it. "First Elder, tell us about the situation at the auction."
"Yes." First Elder stood up and reported the situation in detail.
The disturbance at the auction stemmed from a fake item. The item was indeed fake, but it wasn't forged by the auction. Instead, a mole had planted the fake item and exchanged it for the real item. The business of the auction house was most afraid of fake goods. The customers took advantage of this and demanded a high compensation.
"Then compensate them. Give them as much as they want," Han Yunxi said.
"We've already promised to compensate them tenfold, but that customer not only wants tenfold compensation, he also wants the real item." First Elder was in a difficult position. "Princess, that mole still hasn't shown himself, and the whereabouts of the real item are unknown."
"What are the origins of this guest?" Han Yunxi asked.
"He's a wealthy merchant from Western Zhou who trades in tea leaves," First Elder replied. "He has a group of companions who block the entrance of the auction every day. If they don't leave, the auction will never be able to open again."
Han Yunxi nodded and asked, "What's the situation at the casino?"
"Uncle Cheng is handling everything at the casino." As soon as First Elder finished speaking, Uncle Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and reported the situation at the casino.
The situation at the casino was a hundred times worse than at the auction. Ever since someone exposed the casino's dealer for cheating, the gamblers occupied the casino and refused to leave. Several gamblers demanded the casino compensate them for the money they lost over the past three years, plus interest. This was still considered a small matter. A few gamblers didn't want any compensation at all. Last night, they brought a group of servants to smash up the casino, declaring that they would smash it up for as long as Myriad Merchant Hall's casino was open.
"Servants?" Han Yunxi snorted. "A group of servants can smash up the casino? Are the guards useless? Are they raised for nothing? "
Uncle Cheng hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, at this juncture, if we use force, we'll be even more in the wrong. That's why I didn't stop you. I've already punished the dealer, but the Golden Wing Palace has publicized all their tricks. Not to mention our casino, even East Origin Hall may not be able to continue operating. Other than those troublemaking gamblers, most of the gamblers in the black market are dead. "
A cold sneer flashed across Uncle Cheng's eyes. He asked anxiously, "Your Highness, the casino and auction are Myriad Merchant Hall's most profitable places. What should we do now? The military camp sent a letter the day before yesterday, asking Myriad Merchant Hall to transfer silver to prepare military supplies for the winter. Also, a few spies from the Northern Li Chamber of Commerce have come asking for silver. Now that the Northern Li Chamber of Commerce is electing a new president, we need a lot of silver to smooth things over. "
After Uncle Cheng finished speaking, everyone fell silent. They all looked at Han Yunxi, waiting for her to come up with a plan.
The Myriad Merchant Hall's Elders Guild had seen all kinds of storms, and they weren't to be trifled with. However, at this critical juncture, they all had to be cautious in the face of such a troublesome storm. No one dared to take the risk.
After all, if this storm wasn't dealt with properly, Myriad Merchant Hall's source of income would be cut off, and the military supplies on the battlefield would be replenished. If it were any other time, they could still replenish their supplies. However, at this critical juncture, they needed to have enough funds to deal with a war that could break out at any time.
Han Yunxi was silent for a long time, then finally made a shocking decision. She said, "Pass down the order to close the casino!"
"No!" Uncle Cheng was the first to stand up. After that, other than the Fifth Elder, the other four Elders also stood up. Although they didn't say anything, their thoughts were the same as Uncle Cheng's.
"Then do you have a better idea?" Han Yunxi retorted.
"Your Highness, please forgive this subordinate for speaking bluntly. Your idea can't be called an idea! Once the casino closes, we'll lose one of our sources of income! Now that we're short of silver everywhere, let's just say … "
Before Uncle Cheng could finish, Han Yunxi cut him off Coldly, "Uncle Cheng, I'm very sorry. The casino's source of income has already been cut off!"
It had to be said that Han Yunxi was speaking the truth. If the casino continued to operate, it wouldn't be able to make a profit.
"No one even gambles in East Origin Hall's casino, let alone here." Han Yunxi retorted, "Won't it cost to continue operating? Have you calculated how much it costs to operate those large casinos for a day? Don't we have to pay for the servants, the dealers, and the venue? Even the lights inside cost money! "
The entire place was silent. No one could refute her words, but no one was convinced either. Even the Fifth Elder, who obeyed Han Yunxi's every order, couldn't bear to close the casino.
"Rather than wasting resources, why don't we take advantage of these opportunities before others discover them?" Han Yunxi asked again.
No one understood. Who knew that Han Yunxi would say, "After closing the Three-Way Black Market's casino, we'll open a few large casinos under our own names in the nearby county. Gambling is a thing that addicts can never get rid of! "
