My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Oh, it's just..."

Fang Tong was about to speak when Jiang Xiaobai asked a question, but Jiang Xiaobai suddenly grabbed her arm: "Walls have ears, let's go over there and talk quietly!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai led Fang Tong to the other side.

After seeing this, the eldest princess also went over.

Upon seeing this scene, Helian Zhaoyue frowned immediately.

"Princess!"

Teng Zixiu whispered from the side, "It doesn't matter if we don't listen now. Anyway, we'll find out about that important person when he arrives!"

"Um!"

Helian Zhaoyue responded softly.

That's true, but Jiang Xiaobai's actions are truly infuriating!

After Jiang Xiaobai led Fang Tong a little further away, he released her hand and said, "Alright, tell me!"

"good!"

As Fang Tong nodded, he lowered his voice and said, "Teacher, this important figure is the owner of Wantong Money Shop, the number one money shop in Great Hua!"

"A money exchange owner?"

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback at first, then said, "There should be others, right?"

That's right, Dahua First Money Exchange, it does sound quite wealthy.

Even if someone is very rich, why would they need to be so secretive with Fang Tong?

"The teacher is smart!"

Fang Tong nodded and continued, "Wantong Bank is still one of the biggest sponsors of the Qingshan Society!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaobai's eyebrows immediately rose.

That's something.

Now that he is the writer, he is naturally aware of the Green Robe Society's status.

The fact that Wantong Money House could provide long-term financial support to the Qingshan Society is a significant factor.

"besides!"

Fang Tong smiled and continued, "Teacher, do you remember I told you before that there are a few people in the Green Robe Society who can rival you?"

"Remember!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

Fang Tong mentioned this point when he was at the little princess's residence.

"One of them..."

Fang Tong paused for a moment before saying, "It's this boss's daughter!"

"Moreover, this woman also has a title: the Queen of Suzhou!"

At this point, Fang Tong clicked his tongue twice: "Her calligraphy and paintings are priceless!"

"That amazing?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked somewhat surprised.

"certainly!"

As Fang Tong nodded, he continued, "And there's more, behind this important figure is a martial arts sect!"

"This sect is teeming with experts; it's said that three of them have reached the ninth rank!"

"hiss!"

Jiang Xiaobai gasped upon hearing this.

If that's true, he's definitely a big shot.

"Don't worry, teacher, my dad knows her!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's shock, Fang Tong said, "If there's a chance, I'll have my dad put in a good word for you two with the teacher!"

"Can!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly.

It doesn't hurt to get to know this kind of person.

Just then, a gong sounded outside.

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat puzzled.

Fang Tong glanced outside and smiled, "Teacher, it seems the people from the eight major merchant houses have arrived!"

"Walk!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai said solemnly, "Go out and take a look!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai led the princess outside, and Fang Tong naturally followed closely behind.

Helian Zhaoyue and the others also walked towards the door.

Xie Qiulai, whom he had previously stepped on, also came out.

Xie Qiulai had changed his clothes, but the bruises on his face were still very obvious.

After Xie Qiulai came out, the first thing he saw was Jiang Xiaobai.

For a moment, Xie Qiulai's eyes were filled with anger, but he quickly turned his gaze away.

They were clearly genuinely afraid of Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled twice upon seeing Xie Qiulai's reaction.

As the sound of the gong grew closer, Jiang Xiaobai's attention was drawn to it.

From the direction of the long street, nine sedan chairs slowly approached them.

Behind the sedan chair followed several well-decorated horse-drawn carriages.

The entire procession was grand and imposing, with many guards following behind.

Some of the figures were clearly members of the martial arts world.

"This is quite a spectacle..."

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that's really big!"

Before long, all nine sedan chairs and the carriages behind them stopped outside the Yipinlou restaurant.

Seeing this scene, Xie Qiulai's face showed some impatience.

Everyone has already arrived, but their young prince still hasn't made a move!

As the sedan chairs were being lifted one by one, Xie Qiulai had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.

"teacher!"

Just then, Fang Tong leaned close to Jiang Xiaobai and whispered, "The person who got off the first sedan chair..."

"It's that important person I just told you about!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's gaze immediately fixed on that direction.

Soon, the sedan curtain was lifted, and a figure slowly stepped down.

But when Jiang Xiaobai saw it clearly, his expression froze.

The person who stepped down from the sedan chair was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties.

The woman was dressed simply, but very appropriately.

After stepping down from the sedan chair, the woman looked up and glanced at Yipinlou.

That feeling, however, was quite authoritative without being angry.

"Huh, it's a woman!"

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"right!"

Fang Tong chimed in from the side, "The current Wantong Bank is entirely supported by her alone!"

"That's really impressive!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

This was somewhat unexpected for him.

As the two were talking, the other people in the sedan chairs also got out one after another.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it briefly.

The people from the eight major trading companies were of different ages.

There were elderly people with gray hair, middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, and even a young man who looked to be in his twenties.

As for the carriages behind, people also got off one after another.

"teacher!"

Fang Tong then pointed at a middle-aged man who had alighted from the carriage and said, "Hey, that's my dad!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked over and saw that the middle-aged man had a calm expression and a servant was with him.

Jiang Xiaobai responded with a slight nod.

The eight major merchants traveled by sedan chair, while the customers traveled by horse-drawn carriage.

The distinction is quite obvious.

"Everyone!"

Xie Qiulai looked at the person approaching, his expression tense. He then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and forced a smile, saying, "I'm so sorry, our young prince hasn't arrived yet!"

"Therefore, I will be the one to receive you all for the time being!"

With that, Xie Qiulai raised his hand and gestured, "Please come in, everyone!"

The middle-aged woman leading the group remained calm, gave a curt reply, and walked towards Yipinlou.

The eight major merchants and their customers followed behind.

Jiang Xiaobai stood there, his eyes gradually narrowing.

The middle-aged woman was nothing special, but when the people from the eight major merchants came over, their gazes were clearly more focused on Helian Zhaoyue.

Even some of them nodded to Helian Zhaoyue.

Helian Zhaoyue naturally responded to each of them.

Clearly, these eight major merchant houses originally intended to cooperate with Helian Zhaoyue!

No wonder this woman dared to say before that she wouldn't lose today!

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was thinking this, the middle-aged woman walking at the front suddenly stopped.

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly.

Because he noticed that the woman's gaze was actually fixed on him.

Moreover, his expression clearly showed a hint of surprise.

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was wondering, the middle-aged woman slowly spoke: "You... are you Jiang Xiaobai?"

Ok?

……

Ha, you didn't expect that, did you? I stayed up all night and wrote another chapter!
