Chapter 145: Han Fei’s Experience, the Lady Boss of Zi Lan Xuan

A hundred or so Qin troops were stationed at the intersection of the road, next to which was an orderly refugee camp. When the refugees arrived, they were first given a rough examination by doctors, and then washed and changed into clothes.

Han Fei came with the old man and several children. He thought that the Qin officials would ask a lot of questions, but during his exploration, someone took him around and introduced everything clearly.

Han Fei, who went by the pseudonym Han You, turned around with a complicated expression.

“Mr. Han, do you want to know more?” The man who had taken Han Fei for a walk asked with a smile.

Han Fei nodded and asked, “You let people in so casually, aren’t you afraid that someone will maliciously destroy it?”

The clerk heard this and grinned, saying, “It’s not like no one has done this before, but they all ended up dead.”

“Mr. Han, although there are only a hundred or so soldiers stationed here, there are 10,000 elite soldiers of the Qin State 20 miles away from here, but they are quite idle.”

Seeing the cold smile, proud attitude, and calm composure, Han Fei felt a stab of pain in his heart. Has the Korean side been coerced into this?

“I heard that Qin is still working on the canal. Will any of these people be taken there to work on the canal?”

“Yes.” The clerk nodded and said without hiding anything: “The Construction Bureau of the imperial court is a new department. People from the Mohist School, the Gongshu School, and the Medical School all work in it. The first person to be in charge of the Construction Bureau was Lord Zheng, who was in charge of repairing the canal.”

“The four major merchants of our Qin State are also responsible for transporting various things and cooperating with the canal repair plan.”

“Those who went to build the canal were no longer corvée laborers, but were paid in cash and grain by the Construction Bureau, and were paid according to their work.”

Han Fei knew that the Qin State was changing, but he did not expect that there were all kinds of new adjustments and new attempts within the Qin State.

“Can the Qin treasury support such a burden?”

After this question, Han Fei finally realized what was happening. Without waiting for the clerk to answer, he said, “I forgot that many things in other countries today are sold by Qin.”

The clerk nodded. Qin had a great technological advantage. It now purchased various raw materials from various countries, then returned them to Qin for processing and then sold the finished products to all parts of the world.

Through the ins and outs, the Qin State made a lot of money because of its technological advantages.

More importantly, the beneficiaries in various countries have now formed a huge interest group, and they will only persuade their kings to trade more with Qin.

After asking a few more questions, Han Fei said, “I don’t want to go to Qin at this time. Can I leave freely?”

“Of course, you are free to come and go.” The clerk smiled and said, “Don’t worry, sir. The Qin State will not detain you.”

“My job is to let the people who come here know about some of the changes in Qin. As for whether you want to go to Qin, it’s up to you to decide.”

After leaving the camp, Han Fei said goodbye and left. He saw a few more scholars coming to study. The clerk went to receive them. With a slight sigh, Han Fei rode away.

All the way to Xinzheng, Han Fei continued to observe the various problems he saw along the way. In a village, he met the peddler-like people that the old man talked about that day.

The peddler was a good talker. Han Fei could tell that this guy was deliberately leading the topic to the Qin State. He also told everyone about the wanton plundering and harming of people by some powerful people in the Han State in a vivid and dramatic way, like a storyteller.

The villagers were angry, helpless, resentful, and hesitant as if they were longing for something.

This peddler must have been trained by the Qin State!

Han Fei was very sure that because the peddler had stirred up everyone’s emotions once or twice, over time and many times, the people would eventually explode.

The land of hope is Qin. After so many times, the people will have such memories in their hearts.

If Qin attacks in the future, will these people still have the heart to resist?

The peddler did not stay in the village for long. He left the village and went to the next place.

“You are so reckless, aren’t you afraid of being eliminated by the Koreans?”

Han Fei stopped a man and stared at him with a smile.

The man looked like a beggar and tried to play dumb. Han Fei chuckled and said, “I’ve observed that when the peddler came here, you followed him. When he left, you left too.”

“If this is just a coincidence, then what about the fact that the cane in your hand hides a sharp weapon?”

The man was depressed. Looking at Han Fei, he smiled bitterly and said, “The reputation of the Ninth Prince of Han is well-deserved. I admire him.”

“It seems that being seen through by me has a big impact on you?” Han Fei said with a smile.

“Yes,” the man nodded and said with a wry smile, “This is a mission assessment. Since I was seen through by you, I will naturally be deducted points.”

“Is your Qin State so generous?” Han Fei felt his scalp tingling. Qin State spent so much manpower and energy on such a layout just to subtly change the people’s views of Qin State. When the time comes, the people’s hearts will be won.

“Sir, don’t think of killing people to break the situation.” The man laughed and looked at Han Fei and said, “Equal revenge will cause headaches for many people, and will also make many people unwilling to see it.”

“You are spies?” Han Fei felt a pain in his liver. Damn, they are too arrogant.

“Sir, we gave up some of our benefits to make some people blind and unable to see us.”

This person did not hide Han Fei’s intention, and laughed: “There are always people who want to leave a way out, and our Qin State can provide a way out.”

Han Fei suddenly became withdrawn. The strength of the Qin State gave them a lot of room for maneuver.

The interests are tied together and a way out is promised. Yes, there will always be someone who will solve some problems for them.

Han Fei walked again. He did not make things difficult for the man. As he pulled the horse slowly, Han Fei felt that the State of Han was like a rotten castle in the air, which was being hollowed out by the State of Qin.

“Ying Zifei, Ying Zifei, you really gave me a big problem.”

Han Fei smiled bitterly and felt a headache just thinking about it. A bunch of interest groups got involved. If Han Fei wanted to make any big moves, he would be bound by the nets.

The stream by the river was flowing. Han Fei washed his hands and then waved in one direction.

A figure quickly arrived, stopped and saluted Han Fei. “Greetings, Master Nine.”

“Who are you?” Han Fei asked with a smile.

“Sir, I am under the command of the Fourth Young Master. The Fourth Young Master learned that the Ninth Young Master had returned to the country, so he sent me to secretly protect your safety.”

“Fourth brother?” Han Fei’s eyes sparkled and he smiled.

“Let’s go, let’s continue walking around.” Han Fei did not refuse the guards’ protection. What did his fourth brother want to express in this way?

……

Xinzheng, the capital of a country, although the weakest country, still has a magnificent atmosphere.

Zilanxuan is a well-known romantic place in Xinzheng, with people coming and going every day and it is very bustling.

Zi Lan Xuan was a den of vengeance, and the profits were so great that no one had ever been without covetousness.

However, all those who coveted Zilanxuan died, and no one took revenge afterwards.

Today’s Zi Lan Xuan is still as lively as ever. A woman is carrying a wine jug and coming to the private room upstairs.

After knocking on the door, the woman came in. She bowed slightly to the two people kneeling, then came over to pour the wine herself.

Ying Zifei added another glass of wine and said with a smile: “Boss Lady Zi, I don’t want to pay today. If you drink a glass with me, I’ll consider it as your treat.”

He looked at her. She was a charming woman, her whole body decorated with mysterious and alluring purple.

The tight purple dress outlines her charming figure. Her purple hair is piled high with a few silver hairpins inserted in it, like a rose blooming in the sun.

Those charming eyes also had a faint purple hue, like a pair of pearls hidden deep in the sea, dark but dazzling.

There was a pattern shaped like butterfly wings painted under the corner of her left eye, which added an unusual noble temperament to her charming posture. If such a woman stood among a group of beauties, she would be extremely eye-catching.

Zi Nu did not react much to Ying Zifei’s scrutinizing gaze, but chuckled and said, “A dignified Marquis of Zhen’an in Qin State wants to earn money from a little girl’s wine?”

“Boss Lady Zi has made a lot of money from me, hasn’t she?”

Ying Zifei’s stingy and calculating look made Zi Nu smile. She said, “Sir, you are really interesting. I’ll buy you the wine.”

After three glasses of wine were poured, Ying Zifei praised: “It is indeed worthy of the collection of the boss lady Zi Nu, it is really good wine.”

“If you like, I can give you some.” Zi Nu said, and smiled, “But can you please ask the person in charge here to provide more pills to Zi Lan Xuan?”

“As expected of the boss lady Zi Nu.” Ying Zifei chuckled and looked at her and said, “You know I’m an alcoholic, but you tempt me like this. It’s scary to see into people’s hearts.”

He looked so scared that Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang’s mouths twitched. This acting master was nothing like the person they were rumored to be.

She was about to speak when there was a knock on the door. She apologized, stood up and walked over, opened the door and listened to what the visitor said. She apologized to the two of them again and went out to deal with the problem.

“The partner you chose is very good.” Ying Zifei poured the wine and said with a tut, “What a mysterious woman. Even now, my people are not sure which side she belongs to.”

“You are so brave, Xiaozhuang, and you are so capable at the age of twenty.”

Wei Zhuang drank the wine in the cup and said calmly: “It blooms alone in the cold weather, and its subtle fragrance comes naturally.”

“She is a person with stories, and I also like some stories.”

Ying Zifei poured more wine and sighed: “What a mysterious woman she is.”

“The owner of Zi Lan Xuan has a great reputation. People say that she is extremely charming and beautiful, outshining all other beauties.”

“Although I have been in and out of the dust, I have never been stained by dust.”

“Xiao Zhuang, I also like to listen to stories. You have to learn to share.”

Wei Zhuang glanced at him, picked up the wine glass, stood up and stood by the window.

“You arrived faster than I expected.”

“What is there in Korea that you value so much?”

“You tell me the story of the proprietress Zi Nu, and I will tell you the purpose of my coming here.” Ying Zifei said lightly as he sipped the wine leisurely.

Wei Zhuang drank the wine in his cup and said, “I will find out myself.”

“I have no doubt about that.” Ying Zifei nodded, then chuckled and said, “Let’s make a bet now, whether Qi Jue Tang can survive today safely.”

murderous look!
In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhuang’s shark-tooth sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was within a finger’s reach of Ying Zifei’s neck.

It seemed that if he took one more step closer, Ying Zifei would die here.

However, the tip of the sword could no longer get any closer, so he clamped the shark-tooth sword with two fingers.

When Zi Nu came in, she saw the two people competing with each other.

“You two, my Zi Lan Xuan cannot withstand your fighting.”

She was very resentful and would be heartbroken if Zilanxuan was damaged.

Wei Zhuang was a poor man and had no money to compensate, but Ying Zifei was rich, but she didn’t dare to ask him for compensation.
