Chapter 128 Family Heirloom Armor
Ning Shanfeng, who was lying on the bed, struggled to sit up immediately after hearing this. When he took it and looked at it, his face showed excitement.
"Yes, this is the thick ramie cloth we lost. Young Master Zhao, where did you find it?"
Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "Send a few cars over, you will know when you get there."
Although he had been lying in bed for several days, when he heard that the cloth had been found, Ning Shanfeng's illness was instantly cured by 70%.
"Okay, I will arrange a car now."
Yongsheng Cloth Shop had a ready-made carriage, so it was quickly prepared.
Ning Shanfeng ignored the dissuasion and insisted on sitting in a carriage, and followed Zhao Ya to the house next to the warehouse.
When they opened the door and saw the full pile of cloth inside, Ning Shanfeng and Ning Shan's eyes were straight.
"Amazing, it's really amazing!" Ning Shanfeng murmured in admiration.
Ning Shan, who was standing aside, looked at Zhao Ya with shock and admiration.
She really couldn't understand. He had found nothing last night, so how could he find the stolen cloth overnight.
Could it be that he knew magic?
"Take inventory and see if the number is right." Zhao Ya said.
After all the cloth was counted and loaded, the number was exactly right. Ning Shanfeng was so excited that he almost knelt down to Zhao Ya.
You know, he had already prepared for his family to be destroyed this morning.
Unexpectedly, he survived in a desperate situation and all the stolen cloth was returned.
You can imagine how grateful he was to Zhao Ya.
But he was also a little confused.
"Young Master Zhao, how did you find out the whereabouts of this batch of cloth? Who stole it?"
Zhao Ya concealed the matter about the Paradise Cult. After all, as ordinary people, they would not benefit from knowing this, but would harm them.
Wait until he told the revised story again.
Especially when he heard that it was Ning Zhang, his second wife, who colluded with outsiders to steal the cloth.
Ning Shanfeng was furious.
"This bitch, I treated her so well over the years, but she betrayed me and joined hands with outsiders to deal with me. She deserves death!"
At the end, Ning Shanfeng's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Although he was just an ordinary cloth shop owner, few people who could do business on his scale these days were good people.
To put it bluntly, if she wasn't a bit ruthless, she would have been eaten to the bone.
Zhao Ya naturally understood this, but how Ning Shanfeng dealt with Ning Zhang was their Ning family's own business and had nothing to do with him, so Zhao Ya didn't say anything.
However, Ning Shanfeng quickly recovered and thanked Zhao Ya profusely.
"Young Master Zhao, you are the lifesaver of our Ning family. If you hadn't found this batch of cloth, even if I broke my old bones, it wouldn't be enough to compensate them."
"Manager Ning is too polite."
"It's not politeness, but sincerity. To be honest, if it were us, we would never dream that the mysteriously missing cloth was actually in a house a hundred meters away from the warehouse. This is called darkness under the lamp."
Ning Shanfeng was full of emotion, and then ordered the clerk to pull all the cloth back to the cloth shop.
Although the warehouse was close at hand, after this incident, Ning Shanfeng had become a frightened bird, and he would never entrust his life and property to a few clerks.
Zhao Ya also came back with him. Ning Shanfeng asked his daughter Ning Shan to accompany him to sit in the guest room for a while, and he hurriedly left.
Zhao Ya naturally understood what he was going to do, but he didn't ask anything, just nodded, and then drank tea and chatted with Ning Shan in the guest room.
But Ning Shan was obviously absent-minded and kept looking at the backyard.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Ning has a good relationship with your stepmother."
Ning Shan's expression froze for a moment, and then she sighed and said, "It's not that deep, but she came to our house when I was very young. After so many years of getting along, there is always some affection."
"If Miss Ning wants to go over and take a look, please go ahead. I'll just drink tea here." Zhao Ya said.
"This... OK, please forgive me for my neglect!" Ning Shan apologized to Zhao Ya, then stood up and hurried to the backyard.
Looking at her back, Zhao Ya shook his head secretly.
This girl is still too naive.
Did she think she could save Ning Zhang's life by going over?
You know, for a pure businessman like Ning Shanfeng, you can slap him twice, maybe he will smile at you, but if you touch his core interests, he will never show mercy.
Let alone the second wife, even if it was the original wife, Ning Shanfeng would never let her go if she did such a betrayal.
At the same time, in the backyard of the Ning family, Ning Zhang heard the servants talking about the lost cloth when she got up in the morning.
She knew something was wrong at that time.
Although she didn't know which link had gone wrong, since the cloth was found, it meant that the plan of the cult had failed.
Once Ning Shanfeng knew what she had done, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So she immediately began to pack up her gold and silver and planned to escape.
Over the years, relying on Ning Shanfeng's favor for her, Ning Zhang had saved a lot of gold and silver, enough for her to spend in the second half of her life, but when she packed up and was ready to go out, she was blocked by several servants.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way." Ning Zhang said fiercely.
"Madam, I'm really sorry. The master just sent someone here to tell you that he has something important to tell you later and asked you to wait at home."
Ning Zhang's face turned pale, knowing that the matter had been exposed, but she still held on and said: "I am going to see the master now, please let me go quickly."
But these servants were unmoved at all and tightly surrounded Ning Zhang.
When Ning Zhang saw this, she simply threw a tantrum.
"Are you thinking of using slaves to deceive the master? Come quickly and take these slaves away to me."
She yelled, trying to muddy the waters.
Some of her confidants actually came after hearing the news and formed a confrontation with these servants.
But at this moment, a cold snort came.
"What? I'm not dead yet, are you planning to rebel?"
"master!"
The servants quickly retreated.
Only Mrs. Ning Zhang and her confidants were left standing in the field.
Ning Zhang's expression changed, but she still managed to smile and said: "Old... Master, you are back!"
Ning Shanfeng didn't smile at all and raised his hand to point at the old ladies.
"Come here, take these old ladies down, break one of their hands, and then drive them out of the Ning family."
These old ladies never expected such a result, and they couldn't help crying for their fathers and mothers, begging for mercy.
But Ning Shanfeng was not moved at all.
After these old ladies were forcibly dragged away, Ning Shanfeng said to Ning Zhang, who was already ashen-faced.
"Anyway, you've been following me for so long, so go back to the house and finish it off yourself."
"Master!" Ms. Ning Zhang fell to her knees with a plop, kowtowing like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I was confused for a moment, please forgive me this time. I will serve you like a cow and a horse from now on, and I will never dare to do anything wrong again."
As she spoke, she knelt forward a few steps, hugged one of Ning Shanfeng's legs, and begged.
But Ning Shanfeng kicked her to the ground with one kick, and said with a stern expression: "I'll say it again, if you still want to save the last bit of dignity, you should go back to the house and end it yourself. Otherwise, don't blame me for ignoring the old feelings and doing it myself."
Ning Zhang froze on the spot.
At this moment, Ning Shan rushed over.
As soon as she saw him, Mrs. Ning Zhang seemed to be grasping at straws and cried heartbreakingly.
"Shan'er, please beg me for mercy, your father is going to beat me to death!"
Ning Shan just wanted to speak.
Ning Shanfeng already said: "Didn't I ask you to talk to Shaoxia Zhao in front? What are you doing here?"
"Shao Xia Zhao asked me to come over and take a look." Ning Shan whispered.
Ning Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, it seems that Zhao Shaoxia wants you to understand something."
"Then keep an eye on it!"
As he said that, Ning Shanfeng grabbed Ning Zhang's hair and dragged her into the room regardless of how she begged for mercy.
Ning Shan was frightened when she saw it. Just as she was about to follow him, Ning Shanfeng's voice came from the room.
"Wait outside!"
At the same time, Mrs. Ning Zhang's cry suddenly disappeared, as if something had blocked her mouth and nose, and only a slight whimpering sound could be heard.
After a moment, the voice completely disappeared. Ning Shanfeng slowly walked out of the room and said to Ning Shan, whose face had turned pale.
"I didn't want you to see this originally, but since Young Master Zhao asked you to come, then you can take a look."
"Come, take the lady's body out, and say that she was seriously ill and in unbearable pain, and she hanged herself from the beam."
"yes!"
A servant came forward and carried Ning Zhang's body out.
Ning Shan just glanced at it and turned away in fear.
Because Mrs. Ning Zhang's face was livid, her eyes were wide open, and there was a deep pinch mark on her neck. She looked absolutely terrifying.
"Do you think I'm cruel?" Ning Shanfeng asked.
Ning Shan didn't say anything, but her face was full of panic.
"I know what you are thinking, but compared with what she did, what I did is not cruel at all, because without Shaoxia Zhao, you, my father and my daughter, including this huge family business, would have been wiped out. ”
Speaking of this, Ning Shanfeng's expression became solemn.
"Remember, if ordinary people like you and I want to gain a foothold in this world, we must first know how to advance and retreat with respect, and never do things you shouldn't do. But if someone wants to trap you to death, then you have to give up everything. Emotions, fight to the death with him."
"This is not cruelty, this is a way of survival."
Ning Shan nodded thoughtfully.
When the father and daughter returned to the front living room, Zhao Ya smiled.
"Is the matter done?"
Ning Shanfeng also smiled, "Well, it's done!"
After saying that, he sat across from Zhao Ya, feeling very tired.
After all, he had just recovered from a long illness, and he had just strangled to death his wife Xu Xian, whom he had shared the same bed with for many years. He was naturally exhausted due to the excitement in his heart.
However, he still managed to cheer up and told Ning Shan: "Go to the ancestral hall and bring over the armor that was enshrined."
"yes!"
Ning Shan turned and left.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Actually, Shopkeeper Ning doesn't need to be so anxious."
"You have to keep your word. Whoever you said can help us find the lost cloth will be given this family heirloom armor. Now that Zhao Shaoxia's matter has been completed, how can I delay?"
Looking at Ning Shanfeng with a serious look on his face, Zhao Ya suddenly felt a little admiration.
Whether it was his decisiveness when dealing with the person next to him or his sincerity at this time, it was enough to prove that Ning Shanfeng was an extremely good businessman.
So Zhao Ya picked up the teacup and said, "In that case, I will use tea instead of wine. Thank you, Manager Ning."
Ning Shanfeng was flattered and quickly picked up the cup.
"Young Master Zhao is too polite. This is what I should do."
Just then, Ning Shan walked in quickly with a brocade box in both hands.
When it was opened on the table, it was a set of delicate soft armor.
Zhao Ya reached out and picked it up. He felt that the armor was warm and light. He didn't know what material it was made of.
"This armor was made by the master forger of Wanshou County. It is said that the material used is a precious metal that came from overseas. It is not only light, but also has very good defense."
"Before, I have always hidden this armor behind the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall and worshipped it. I dare not show it at all. This time I really encountered an unsolvable dilemma, so I took it out helplessly."
"But the armor is given to heroes. It is just a dead object in my hands, but it will surely shine in the hands of Zhao Shaoxia. It can be regarded as choosing a wise master."
Ning Shanfeng introduced the origin of the armor and finally sighed.
Zhao Ya didn't say anything, but a touch of joy flashed in his eyes.
Just now, he quietly used 50% of his strength and pinched the armor, but there was no mark left on the armor.
You must know that Zhao Ya, with the blessing of the three internal organs, is now far more powerful than people in the same realm. Even in terms of strength alone, some fourth-level warriors are not his opponents.
This 50% force can crush even a stone, but the armor is not moved at all, which shows how strong the defense is.
Wearing this armor, Zhao Ya is even confident that he can fight a fourth-level warrior.
So he did not refuse, and he was about to leave after putting on the armor.
Ning Shan saw him out the door, and suddenly said thank you before parting.
Zhao Ya smiled when he heard it, "You're polite, I took money from others to help them get rid of disasters. Since I took your armor, I will naturally handle this matter for you."
Ning Shan had gotten rid of her previous panic at this time, and she smiled and shook her head.
"That's different, after all, you not only found the cloth, but also caught the murderer behind the scenes."
"Aren't you sad?" Zhao Ya smiled.
"I'm not sad anymore. Now I think my father was right. You care about our old relationship, but she didn't hesitate at all when she betrayed you."
"And you asked me to go to the backyard for the same reason, right?"
"Haha, Miss Ning, please stay. I'm leaving!"
Zhao Ya didn't answer, just said stay, and then strode away.
Looking at his back, Ning Shan brushed her hair by her ears, smiled sweetly, and turned back.
Soon, the news that thousands of pieces of cloth from the Ning family disappeared and were found by Zhao Ya overnight spread like wildfire, and soon reached Shang Luoluo's ears.
