Shopkeeper Xia sneered, "Princess Consort is not seventy or eighty years old. Can't you hear me clearly?"
"How dare you!" Da Han, Young Man and others stood behind Qin Yining and scolded in unison.
Young Man was a little impulsive. She pulled out half of her saber on the spot. The blade was cold and sharp.
They had heard Shopkeeper Xia's outrageous words. Without Qin Yining's order, they didn't dare to act on their own. They didn't expect this person to insult them! How could they bear it now?
Shopkeeper Xia was frightened and instinctively stepped back. Then he remembered that the woman in front of him was a princess.
But on second thought, what Wangfei or Wangfei? If her family's Wangye couldn't get the money, he probably wouldn't be able to suppress the troublemaking army. At that time, if a mutiny occurred, both Wangye and Wangfei would be in trouble. She was just a woman who didn't know anything. How dare she be so arrogant?
Shopkeeper Xia straightened his back, "There's nothing to be bold or timid about! This old man's honest words are unpleasant to the ears. Even if Wangfei doesn't like to hear it, what I said is the truth. Princess Consort is a woman. Can't you manage Wang Ye's inner residence well? Why do you have to stretch your hand so far? Isn't it good to just sit and wait for the dividends? Let me ask you again. Why did you take in nearly five hundred useless women into the farm and provide them with food, drink and clothes every day? Even if you want to make a cloth factory and ready-made clothes, you can find people to work here temporarily. I believe there will be a lot of people willing. But Princess Consort found so many women in advance to raise them for free. What are you thinking? "
As soon as Shopkeeper Xia finished speaking, there was a "clang" sound of sharp sabers being unsheathed. Da Han and Young Man both took out their sabers and were about to chop people.
"Ah! What are you doing! "
Shopkeeper Xia was frightened and hurriedly took two steps back. However, his self-esteem caused him trouble. In addition, he concluded that Qin Yining only dared to let the people around her intimidate him. Therefore, he straightened his back and stood in the same place. He glanced at Dahan and Young Man contemptuously, straightened his back and raised his chin.
"Do you still want to kill people?"
Da Han scolded, "How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful to Princess Consort! Give me your life! "
As he spoke, he brandished his saber and slashed.
Shopkeeper Xia gritted his teeth. Although he was afraid, he refused to retreat. Thinking that Qin Yining wouldn't dare to kill him, he didn't even try to dodge.
How would he know the origin of the Great Frost? That was the silver-masked spy who had once been by the side of the incapable ruler and had done everything! To him, killing someone in front of him was no different from stepping on an ant.
Da Han's subordinate didn't hesitate at all. The only thing he was worried about was that killing Head Shopkeeper Xia would ruin Qin Yining's plan. However, Qin Yining was still sitting in her original position. She even smiled faintly and supported her chin. Her sitting posture was very relaxed, as if Head Shopkeeper Xia's life and death had nothing to do with her.
Da Han knew that Qin Yining wouldn't stop him, but he didn't necessarily want Head Shopkeeper Xia to die.
The knife in Da Han's hand was wrapped in anger as it slashed towards Head Shopkeeper Xia.
Head Shopkeeper Xia didn't want to dodge, but Da Han didn't stop at all. Qin Yining also didn't have any intention to stop him. Head Shopkeeper Xia immediately shuddered. He hurriedly closed his eyes and squatted down, shouting, "You can't kill me!"
For a spy like Da Han, there was no reason for him to fail in killing a small character like Xia Zongping.
However, Qin Yining didn't say anything to decide Xia Zongping's life and death, so Da Han didn't dare to kill him rashly. The knife was slightly slanted. The blade brushed past Head Shopkeeper Xia's hat and smashed on the ground in front of him.
The floor was made of stone bricks, but a deep white mark was left on it by this furious slash.
Head Shopkeeper Xia squatted on the ground and stared blankly at the shocking mark on the ground in front of him. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
If such a powerful knife didn't miss, wouldn't his head be separated from his body?!
Head Shopkeeper Xia's back was sweating. However, when he raised his head and saw Qin Yining's half-smiling face, he regained his confidence.
The guards had already used their knives, but this woman didn't dare to say anything. It seemed that she still needed him for business in the future.
Head Shopkeeper Xia stood up again. His attitude softened, and his words weren't as harsh as before. "This old man spoke without thinking in a moment of desperation. However, this old man was thinking of Princess Consort's business and didn't have any ulterior motives."
"Princess Consort is a reasonable person. Think about it. In this barren land, after the war, there are many unruly people. Not to mention other things, it took this old man a lot of effort to straighten out those people's minds. Those excessive things were too many to count. It's not good for me to confess my achievements in front of Princess Consort, right? "
"Princess Consort is a noble person who enjoys a comfortable life. Why don't you give me the power? I'll manage it carefully. Princess Consort can save effort and also have dividends to eat. Why not? Why should he tire himself out and bring all the trouble to himself? Your wang fu must have many things to do. Why don't you leave some energy to manage these things? Wouldn't that be better? "
Qin Yining heard that head shopkeeper Xia had changed his tone in fear. He really was an expert at changing his rudder according to the wind. He couldn't help but mock, "It's rare for head shopkeeper Xia to change his attitude and be so gentle. This King Consort really feels flattered. "
Head Shopkeeper Xia couldn't maintain his composure after being mocked. He silently scolded Qin Yining for not knowing what was good for him.
Qin Yining saw head shopkeeper Xia's expression and could guess what he was thinking.
Since this person didn't repent, then there was no leeway to keep him.
Qin Yining stood. There was no longer the smile on his face. He said calmly, "Since head shopkeeper Xia has worked so hard, and the 'unruly people' always make head shopkeeper Xia feel powerless, why don't you leave? Why don't you leave this work to someone else? Head Shopkeeper Xia isn't young anymore. Why don't you spend the rest of your life in comfort? That's the right path. "
Head Shopkeeper Xia raised his eyes in shock and met Qin Yining's cold gaze. That gaze didn't seem to be looking at a living person, but an ant.
How could he change so quickly! The person that he had scolded and didn't dare to refute had suddenly changed his attitude!
Head Shopkeeper Xia had seen many people. If he still couldn't see that Qin Yining had purposely allowed him to be impudent, then his many years of experience in the business world had been in vain.
Such a sinister woman! She wanted to use her status as wang fei to suppress him!
Head Shopkeeper Xia gritted his teeth and stood up with a tense back. He squeezed out, "I think wang fei is fearless because of her status? Aren't you afraid of losing everything? "
Qin Yining said expressionlessly, "Is that so? I'll wait."
"Alright, you wait!" Head Shopkeeper Xia clenched his fists and left after saying these harsh words.
Bing Tang was holding a cup of hot tea with added ingredients in her hand. She was considering whether to pour it on him.
Da Han, Young Man, and the others all looked at Qin Yining. It was as though if Qin Yining nodded, they would immediately pounce on him.
Head Shopkeeper Xia angrily walked out as he secretly sighed in relief. Not only did he save his face, he also saved his life. She would be in trouble when he returned!
