You Fangyin in the previous life had never used such a method.

It's just that she mentioned it, and Jiang Xuening remembered it.

The incident between Ren Weizhi and the Zigong Salt Field happened to be a wave of ups and downs. Ordinary people expected the beginning but not the middle, and the middle did not predict the end.

It's just that Jiang Xuening was doing this kind of thing for the first time, and there was no precedent for reference, so she was always extra careful.

Lest I accidentally miss the time.

But compared to others, she has the advantage of being a prophet after all, so she is not as anxious and excited as others. She always has to sit and wait in the lobby of Shuxiang Inn to feel at ease.

Zhou Yinzhi knew that Jiang Xuening was related to You Fangyin from Qingyuan Bofu, but he didn't know what the two of them were going to do. But recently there have been some rumors in the market, which have also reached his ears, knowing that You Fangyin is going to marry Ren Weizhi, and he has naturally heard about the silver stock in the Sichuan Salt Factory.

I didn't expect Jiang Xuening to come here.

However, listening to her words at the moment, Zhou Yinzhi's mind flashed, and suddenly he vaguely guessed that most of the remaining 15,000 taels of silver shares in the salt field may be in Jiang Xuening's hands, and then remembered that he had captured the uncle's house earlier. The ten thousand taels of silver that Miss Yi extorted for Jiang Xuening, couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart.

The simple and unsophisticated piano body has been played in the incense for many years. Even if there is no incense around at the moment, there are still a few wisps of faint Zen fragrance.

After just one hook, the tremor of the strings did not stop.

Jiang Xuening stared at these strings, and only asked: "Is there any news from Chaozhong recently?"

Zhou Yinzhi said: "The case of the Yongyihou's Mansion is still under trial..."

I heard that the three jurisprudence divisions have been arguing all day long.

One side thinks that although the Hou Mansion has correspondence with the rebellious ministers and the rebel party, most of it is because they want to find out the whereabouts of Ding Fei's son twenty years ago. .

The other party decided that inquiring about the whereabouts of the crown prince was no excuse.

Everyone knows that the eldest son of Xiaoyan and Dingfei died 20 years ago. If you want to find him, you should go to the 'Yitong Tomb'. The brave and resolute Hou Yanmu still wants to contact him knowing that the other party is a traitor. He is clearly rebellious. If the crime of extermination is not punished, the culprits such as Yan Shepherd and his wife and children should also be the first to show the public to subdue the world.

Jiang Xuening was silent after hearing this, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Master Xie is now in charge of the Imperial Academy, and his power in the court is growing day by day, so his eyes and ears should be clear. Do you have the right people under your command to let them 'hear' some news ?”

Zhou Yinzhi was startled for a moment.

Jiang Xuening slowly added: "After getting the money from me, those Tianjiao people will definitely not stay in the capital, but want to leave this place secretly. You are Jinyiwei, and you don't have the right to do so. If you can’t do this, it’s better to leave it to someone else.”

This sum of money was originally prepared by her for the Yongyi Hou Mansion, but she did not want it to fall into the hands of Xiaoxiao's generation.

However, she might not be able to stop this with her strength alone.

What's more, she was also afraid that the other party would steal her money and not give the letter, and she would be pecked at by an eagle if she didn't catch a rabbit. Assure.

Zhou Yinzhi really couldn't understand her intentions.

This Young Master Xie is by no means a simple person. It is not a simple matter to pass on the news without anyone noticing it.

However, in the blink of an eye, he thought of the relationship between Jiang Xuening and Xie Wei.

Should they be teachers and students?

But Xie Wei wanted to know, why didn't he say it directly?

Perhaps the relationship between these two people might be a bit unusual, and it was not something he could figure out, so it was better to pretend that he didn't know anything, didn't think too much about it, and just thought about how to make it happen.

After seeing Jiang Xuening, Zhou Yinzhi left with the ten thousand taels of silver.

When he came out of the mansion, he happened to see a very ordinary carriage stopped at the door.

When he looked up, it was You Fangyin who got out of the car.

The two met each other.

You Fangyin was startled when she saw him, but then she smiled and bowed to him, but it was hard to talk at the gate of Jiang's residence, so she brushed her body and walked in.

You Fangyin is getting married soon.

In the past two days, Jiang Xuening was also thinking about finding an opportunity to ask her to come out to meet and explain some things, but she didn't expect her to come to the door first, so she couldn't help being a little surprised.

Take a closer look at this girl, but she is not quite the same as in the past.

Probably because he knew that people were going to get married, and the uncle's house always had to be perfunctory in order to save face. It didn't cost a lot of money to cut two clothes that could be seen for such a concubine, and he also hoped that Ren Weizhi could earn more. Money, of course, would not be too bad for You Fangyin.

She was wearing a new water-red dress, and her complexion was quite ruddy, which was rare and beautiful.

Jiang Xuening pulled her to look around, then she felt happy, and said: "So I thought this Ren Weizhi was nothing more than that, but seeing you changed your appearance, you don't have to suffer in the mansion, and I feel that this person is reluctant It is worthy of our Fang Yin."

You Fangyin blushed at what she said, and murmured: "Yes, it's a fake marriage."

Only then did Jiang Xuening remember, "Oh", she couldn't help but sighed: "Many daughters only have such a big event once in their life, such as getting married, but doing this is a last resort, and I have wronged you very much."

You Fangyin didn't feel that there was any grievance. Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event for many people, but for her, life in the Qingyuan uncle's mansion is really difficult. I can't even think of luck.

She dared not sleep too deeply these days.

I was afraid that I would fall asleep and wake up to find that all this was just a dream.

She didn't know how to express her feelings, so she shook her head earnestly and vigorously, and said, "No, there is no grievance. It's Mr. Ren who agreed to Fangyin, which made him a little embarrassed..."

Is it difficult?

Taking a sum of money to marry a good girl, even though it was a fake marriage, it is also a good thing that can't be found in the world with a lantern. How dare Ren Weizhi feel embarrassed?

Jiang Xuening hummed softly in her heart.

But she didn't say anything in front of You Fangyin, she just said: "You came just in time, I see that someone from Sichuan will come to pick you up to get married in a while, if it's too late, I'm afraid I won't have the chance for you."

As she spoke, she turned around and opened the box again.

There is also a stack of bank notes here.

Jiang Xuening picked it up and put it into You Fangyin's hands, saying: "I'm afraid I won't show up on the day you go out. After all, your sister You Yue hates me to the bone, and she might want to strangle me when we meet. But I don't think so." I know, Yibofu's virtue, and your mean sister, will definitely not prepare much dowry for you. Originally, I prepared more for you, but there have been accidents these days, and there are more places to spend money , so I only leave these three thousand taels of silver bills for you, and take them with you. Don’t let others know, and don’t tell anyone about your ambitions. Wealth is not revealed, even if you trust him, it may not cause trouble Other troubles. When we come to Sichuan in the future, if something happens, I will be beyond my reach in the capital, but I will not be able to take care of you. If you have more money, you will be able to deal with it.”

Three thousand taels for her dowry!

You Fangyin was taken aback, but felt that the banknote was extremely hot, so she didn't dare to take it, and quickly pushed it back, panicked: "I, the girl has treated me very well, how can I ask for the girl's money again?" ?”

Jiang Xuening guessed that she would not take it.

But she insisted on giving the money to You Fangyin, with a very resolute attitude, she looked at her seriously and said, "This is not only for you, but also in case there is an emergency at the saltworks. That's right. If the salt farm is in operation, Ren Weizhi will give you dividends. Of course, you don't have to touch the money I gave you when you have the money. When you have a chance in the future, you can just return it to me. The bento is a loan Yours, how are you?"

Only then did You Fangyin hesitate.

After Jiang Xuening continued to chatter, she accepted the sum of money, but her eyes were red and filled with tears, her mouth was clumsy, and she wanted to speak but didn't know how to do so.

Jiang Xuening had no choice but to take a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Feeling helpless and funny at the moment, he changed the subject and said, "It's okay to stay in the mansion recently, your sister didn't make things difficult for you?"

You Fangyin said: "No, the second sister was annoyed for a few days when she heard that the silver stocks at the Shuxiang Inn fell, but then the silver stocks rose again, so she was happy all day long, and she even treated me much better. And take me out to buy new clothes and some jewelry, that would be great for me."

It seems that You Yue is having a good time.

Jiang Xuening thought in her heart and let her be proud for another two months, when she would cry later. But these words would not be said in front of You Fangyin, so she just smiled slightly and said: "That would be the best."

Jiang Xuening was waiting for a suitable time, after thinking about her plan, she also explained a few words to You Fangyin.

Zhou Yinzhi's affairs were settled soon.

For the next ten days, there was no news from Shu, but everyone was secretly looking forward to something. The closer it was to the day when the concubine in the Qingyuan uncle's mansion came out of the cabinet, the more merchants came and went in the Shuxiang Inn.

I want to know it with my toes—

The Ren family in Shu will send someone to pick up the concubine to marry away to Shu, and at the same time it will definitely bring the latest news from the salt field. When the salt from the well below comes, the price of the silver share price of this Ren's Salt Works will skyrocket!

Everyone looked forward to it, and the days passed day by day.

Soon it was December 23rd, the day before You Fangyin left the pavilion.

The people from Sichuan who came to welcome relatives have finally arrived!

This morning, the lobby of the Shuxiang Inn was full of people. Even if they didn’t buy the silver shares of Ren’s Saltworks, they even knew that they couldn’t buy them, but they still wanted to buy one. Lively, take a look at this unprecedented spectacle in the business world.

Everyone looked towards the door from time to time.

Everyone who came in had to turn their heads and look around, but they sat there until early noon, and the people and news they were waiting for hadn't arrived yet.

Seeing that it was almost noon, some people dispersed.

Those who live close to go home for dinner.

Some people were impatient to wait, but more people just ordered food in this inn and still waited persistently.

At the second quarter of noon, a burly man in a short jacket came galloping from afar. He only swung the rein at Xiao Er at the door, and walked in with big strides, wiping his sweat in the cold weather. Shuxiang Inn, speaking in plain Mandarin with a distinct Shu accent, shouted: "Where's the shopkeeper?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

The shopkeeper was stalking the waiter to tell them to rush to the back kitchen to order the dishes. When he heard the voice, he turned his head and saw the person, and his eyes lit up: "But the person sent by Mr. Ren?"

The burly man smiled heartily, showing a row of white teeth, obviously extremely happy, and said: "Exactly. I am the new servant of Mr. Ren, and I brought people to the capital to welcome the future young mistress to Shu. The Zhuotong well made by Mr. Ren has drawn brine from the abandoned salt well seven days ago, and boiled new well salt. When I left, the whole salt field in Zigong came to see it. Mr. Ren, I especially Come to the inn to inform, and please tell the shopkeeper to write the news on the board, and hang it up so that those who bought the silver shares of our salt farm can rest assured!"

His voice was so loud that everyone in the lobby heard it.

So with a "boom", everything exploded, and the lobby was suddenly full of voices, and no one could hear who was saying what.

That man was cool, because he still had something to do, he was going to Qingyuan uncle's mansion to pick him up, he didn't stay long, he reported the news and left.

Everyone was excited by the news.

There are also a small number of people who suspect that Ren Weizhi is a fraud. After all, this kind of thing sounds like a legend, which is a bit unbelievable, which makes people hardly believe it.

However, in the afternoon, other news came one after another.

Of course, the most well-informed about the saltworks were the major salt merchants, who soon confirmed that this matter was indeed true.

In the well salt mining of Sichuan, the brine is hidden deep in the bottom. The original well salt mining can only be done by digging a well down. It is already amazing to be three or four feet deep, but there is no way to go deeper. Often a well will be abandoned if it reaches three or four feet and cannot produce brine.

However, Zhuo Tsutsui was able to drill ten or even tens of feet underground!

Drilling down through the bamboo tube, the salty spring gushes from the bottom of the well to the top. What kind of "salty spring" is this, but white silver!

The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are alright. After all, they all rely on the sea for their livelihood, and the mining experience and technology have changed. The impact on them is not great for the time being, but there are more competitors; the big salt in the Sichuan area The merchants knew the news but couldn't sit still no matter what, no matter where they were, they all rushed to Zigong Ren's Salt Field to see and see.

As soon as Zhuo Tongjing came out, it was already going to change the pattern of the entire Sichuan salt industry!

The more people listened to the news, the less voices of doubts became, and the more enthusiastic they were for the silver stocks of Ren's Salt Farm, the price of silver stocks naturally began to rise steadily!

No one is willing to publish more than six hundred articles.

Someone in the lobby shouted prices of seven hundred, eight hundred, and nine hundred, but no one responded.

It wasn't until the next day that a thousand silver shares suddenly appeared on the market, but it was said that they were going to sell, and they were snatched up at a high price of one thousand yuan a share, that is, one tael of silver!

The time Jiang Xuening had been waiting for finally arrived.

Of course, the silver price of Ren's Salt Farm will continue to rise for a while, but the matter of the letter from the Yongyi Hou's Mansion is imminent, and the patience of the Tianjiao group may be exhausted, but they know that they can still make money in the future. More, she didn't dare to wait any longer.

She released the one thousand silver shares on the market to investigate the situation.

But she did not show up for this transaction, nor did the buyer, neither did they know each other's identity.

At that time, Jiang Xuening extorted 10,000 taels of silver from the Qingyuan uncle's mansion, and handed it all over to You Fangyin for the silver shares of Ren's Saltworks. It can be said that he is the person who holds the most silver shares in the saltworks, with a total of 20,000 shares.

She also took advantage of the low price to take advantage of the hundreds of shares held by Boss Liu a few days ago.

It's just that this is just a fraction to her.

After releasing 1,000 shares, she still has 19,000 taels in her hand, which is worth 19,000 taels of silver based on the current silver price. Previously, the money in her hands was close to 40,000 taels, but she took part of it as a bride price for You Fangyin, and she had to keep some in her hand for emergencies, so there was still about 15,000 taels short.

But this is by no means a small number.

Not many people can afford this money.

If she directly released 15,000 shares to the market, even if she was fine, others would suspect that there was something tricky in it. Why did she sell the silver shares of Ren's Salt Plant just when their price soared?

The price might fall even further.

So Jiang Xuening only asked people to release the news in batches, one thousand shares by one thousand shares, and by the way, he also waited for the fish to bite the bait.

It can be said that all business people in Jingzhong are paying attention to this matter. As soon as the news was released, countless people were interested and expressed their willingness to bid.

The sound of the wind reached Lu Xian in the blink of an eye.

Others couldn't detect the clue, but Lu Xian felt a little weird, and his eyes flickered suddenly: "No, this situation is wrong. The market of Ren's Salt Field is bullish. If you can sell a thousand shares, you can sell them again and again." To sell a thousand shares, there must be a person who holds a large amount of silver shares behind him! Selling silver shares at this time is either because he is not optimistic about the future of Ren's Saltworks, or... this person is very short of money now!"

There is no one in the quiet hall.

Xie Wei sat cross-legged across from him, watched him rattle the abacus in front of him, and couldn't help saying, "So what if others are short of money?"

Lu Xian rolled his eyes and laughed, "Of course it's a good time to take advantage of the fire!"

He had already had some thoughts wandering in his mind, put down the abacus halfway through, and got up directly, saying: "No, I must not miss such a great opportunity!"

Xie Wei frowned: "I still want to talk to you about Tianjiao..."

Lu Xian waved his hands and didn't look back: "Since you have news about those people, and they will go out of the city soon, it's easy to capture them, so you don't need to discuss with me. I'm in a hurry to make money, you Put aside the most important things, I'll go out and find someone first!"

It's snowing outside.

It's been down for several days.

Lu Xian thought about it before going out, just in case, he simply put the banknote and the seal on his body, took the umbrella from the boy and went straight to the Baiguo Temple in Beijing.

He has sent people to keep an eye on Qingyuan uncle's mansion these days.

Lu Xian knew You Fangyin's whereabouts like the palm of his hand.

Tomorrow, she will depart from the capital to the Shu region. Before she gets married, of course, the girl will go to the temple to pray for a smooth marriage. Although You Fangyin got married in a fake manner, there are still many things to do, and there is no flaw on the surface.

This time, he was accompanied by a little girl from the mansion.

Lu Xian didn't pay attention to such a small role. He sent someone casually and left the little girl outside to talk, but he knocked on the door unceremoniously and said, "Is Miss You Fangyin you inside? Under Xia Lu Zhaoyin, I have a business and want to talk to the girl."

You Fangyin came to worship the temple today, and asked for a lottery on the way. She was looking at the lottery at the moment, and almost trembled when she heard the knock on the door, and then heard someone from outside reporting her family name, and a scene appeared in her mind. Show your face.

The second girl's prediction was really good, and this person was actually found.

She couldn't help admiring her, but she was also a little nervous. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Please come in."

Lu Xian pushed the door open and entered.

A simple meditation room is extremely simple, with a simple "empty" character hanging on it.

But when he raised his eyes and saw You Fangyin, he couldn't help being stunned: In the past, he had met this girl in the Shuxiang Inn. She was dressed in rough clothes worn by a maid, and she was even a little yellow and thin. It is very shabby; now it is a little plump, and its cheeks are also a little flushed. I don't know if it is because of the upcoming marriage. Although the eyebrows are not what the original intention is, they give people a feeling of gentleness like water, a kind of radiance from the inside out The radiance that came out made him a little uncomfortable when his eyes fell on him.

Only then did Lu Xian realize—

That's right, the girl is going to get married tomorrow, but I dare to come here to discuss business today, I'm really brave.

You Fangyin asked: "I don't seem to have asked you out before. I don't know if Boss Lu is here, what business do you want to talk about?"

Only then did Lu Xian come back to his senses, and after a smile, he dispelled the momentary strangeness in his heart, and said, "No one else knows, but Miss You and I should know. Ming people don't speak dark words in front of people, and today they let out rumors at the Shuxiang Inn to ask for help." The person who sold the silver shares should be the girl, or the person behind the girl, right?"

You Fangyin did not speak.

Lu Xian then said confidently: "Although Lu doesn't know where the girl needs all this money, she must be eager to sell the silver stocks, right? It's just that although there are many businessmen in Beijing who are concerned about this matter, it is necessary to be able to sell the money in a short period of time. With such a large amount of money, I'm afraid I can't find many people. I, Mr. Lu, have been doing business for many years, and I have no reputation. Instead of throwing out thousands of shares, which is troublesome to deal with, I have to Be careful not to be discovered, why don't you give me as much as you want, and I will take it all. Miss You think about it?"

You Fangyin remembered Jiang Xuening's instructions, and asked, "Can you afford a thousand pennies?"

There was a half-smile on Lu Xian's lips: "There are few silver stocks in the market, so the price is high. It's not unusual to have this price. But Miss Ruoyou threw out all the silver stocks in her hand in one go. The price is not so high."

Taking advantage of the fire to rob, is the essence of this.

Lu Xian got the essence of it.

When You Fangyin heard this, she held her breath. Fortunately, Jiang Xuening had told her about it before, but now she heard it from Lu Xian, and she was not very angry.

I just thought that the second girl really knew things like a god.

Even the person in front of him took the opportunity to lower the price after biting the bait.

She frowned and said, "How much will Boss Lu pay?"

Lu Xian asked back, "How much is Miss You?"

You Fang chanted, "Fifteen thousand shares."

Lu Xian secretly gasped, raised his eyebrows and said, "Thirteen thousand taels."

When You Fangyin heard this, his face turned cold, and he said, "Boss Lu didn't buy it in good faith."

Lu Xian laughed, "It's very sincere."

You Fangyin wanted to see off the guests.

Lu Xian refused to leave, and lightly clasped the edge of the table with his fingers, with a very relaxed posture: "You, or the boss behind you, are short of fifteen thousand taels."

There was a bit of anger in You Fangyin's eyes.

Seeing her like this, Lu Xian knew that he was right.

The feeling of controlling everything made him feel very happy, as if pinching the life of the girl in front of him, he became more leisurely, and added: "Miss You doesn't have to look at me with this kind of eyes. Business is about business. Everyone in business has a time when money is tight, and I, Lu, have always been kind, and I am willing to help people when I can. Since it is short of fifteen thousand taels, it is better to go out Give me 17,000 silver shares, and we can settle the deal with one hammer, and save the girl from worrying about those little money, right?"

Maybe it was because these words touched You Fangyin's heart, he seemed to hesitate when he saw the other party's expression, as if he was seriously considering what he said.

Lu Xian made persistent efforts with great scheming and continued to encourage her.

One after another, it can be said that she was earnest, and she even said that if she put all these silver stocks on the market in one go, people would suspect that there was something going on behind the scenes in the salt field, and even Can't even sell it.

But You Fangyin still didn't let go.

At this time, Lu Xian resorted to his trump card, sternly said: "After talking so much, Miss You has no intention of selling these silver shares. It seems that this business cannot be negotiated. Then Lu will Say goodbye first!"

After saying that, he stood up and bowed to You Fangyin.

You Fangyin didn't stop him.

Lu Xian walked out of the meditation room, counting silently in his heart at the same time, and sure enough, he had only counted to three, when there was a hurried voice from behind: "Boss Lu, stop!"

A successful smile overflowed from Lu Xian's lips.

He knew it was done.

Although this method of negotiating prices is old, it has been tried and tested!

It's just that at this time, his back was facing You Fangyin, so he didn't see the same relieved smile that suddenly crossed the honest girl's face.

One is in a hurry for money, and the other is in a hurry for shares.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Lu Xian brought the bank note with him, needless to say, because he was determined to get it, but he was a little surprised that You Fangyin also brought the seal with him, and signed the contract with him almost immediately.

Stamp the letter with one hand and pay the money with the other.

Lu Xian took the contract and left, and You Fangyin took the bank note and left.

When he left Baiguo Temple, Lu Xian was very excited. He thought that most of the silver shares of Ren's Salt Works were in his own hands, and he would only wait for the white money to be credited in the future.

But after walking three miles, the smile on his face froze suddenly.

He held the contract in his arms, but the scene of the concubine from Youfu also taking out the seal from her body flashed across his mind, and there was almost a "buzz" in his head: If you don't, you are determined to get it, if you are not prepared, whoever goes out? When it is fragrant, it will carry a seal!

He came here by taking advantage of the fire.

But can people not know that someone will take advantage of the fire?

Thinking about it, I felt cold in my heart, and immediately knew that I was too anxious: "Absolutely short of money! The other party is absolutely crazy and short of money! If I can calm down more, I will be able to suppress more prices! Damn... "

He even jumped into the trap prepared by others!

Lu Xian's face almost turned green. It would have only taken half an hour to go back one way, but he walked and stopped for a while. It was dark, and when he returned to the Youhuang Pavilion, his expression was mournful and terrifying.

Xie Wei hadn't left yet.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, he raised his head and saw Lu Xian walking in with a cold air, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Xian remained silent with a pale face, and just put the contract on the table.

Xie Wei took a look and said, "Isn't this a deal?"

Lu Xian said: "I paid a high price."

For a person in business, it is definitely a great shame for a business that can be won at a lower price to be sold at a higher price!

Looking back now, Lu Xian knew that he was in charge at that time.

Hearing what he said, Xie Wei suddenly understood why his complexion was so bad: a person like Lu Zhaoyin would not take a step back even if he could take advantage of ten points, and only take nine points, he must take all ten points Only then did I feel that I was not at a loss. Presumably, although the silver stock was in his hands, the price was too low, but he didn't suppress it, so he was annoyed.

God knows that at this moment, Lu Xian's mind is full of You Fangyin's face. After this experience, he can't help but think of the raw silk business that was preempted earlier. .

After waiting for a long time, he forced himself to suppress this resentment.

Then he noticed that Xie Wei hadn't left at such a late day, so he asked, "Why are you still here?"

Xie Wei looked out of the window, and said quietly: "I have something to do tonight, I'm waiting for news."

It was dark.

The fifteen thousand taels of silver bill was transferred from You Fangyin's hand to Jiang Xuening's, then to Zhou Yinzhi's, and finally to the hands of two masked men in black.

Zhou Yinzhi only brought Wei Xi with him.

There are only two people on the other side.

Instead, he kept his promise, handed over the money, and handed over the letter.

Presumably, both parties were very cautious, and because the matter was extremely special, they did not dare to let more people know. While checking the letter and checking the bank note, they did not even say a word, and each Turn around and leave.

The two men in black took advantage of the darkness to go away.

Walking halfway, looking left and right, no one was there, then entered an alley, and when he came out, he had already changed into ordinary clothes, revealing a face, all of which looked ordinary.

There is no news of Gong Yicheng.

The banknotes have arrived again.

In their hearts, these people still thought that the Marquis of Yongyi could be regarded as a loyal family, and they also thought about collaborating with the Tianjiao for a great cause, so they sold the letter and it was considered a good deed. But staying in the capital, I was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so that night after getting the money, he wanted to use some of the connections that Tianjiao had left in Beijing to leave the capital and fly away.

However, just as they approached the city gate with a huge amount of money in their pockets, and signaled to the people who connected with them in the past, they were greeted by arrows flying down from the city gate!

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

In the darkness, the sharp light flashed across the arrows, and they sank into the heads of these people with ease. Before the banknotes in their arms were warmed up, and they didn't even understand what happened, they fell to the ground, staring at each other. Pairs of eyes are dead.

On the city gate tower, Daoqin, who had been ambushing here for a long time, retracted his bow neatly, stood in a dark corner of the gate tower that was not easy to be noticed by others, and told other people around him: "Go down and search carefully to see if there is anything you want, sir." thing."

Immediately, several shadows descended from above.

After searching up and down carefully, he didn't find any letters. Instead, he found a thick stack of bank notes and handed them to Daoqin, hesitatingly saying: "Master Daoqin, I have searched everything, this group of people None of them."

Daoqin frowned as soon as she took the thick stack of banknotes.

Right now, those who died under the city tower were all those who secretly listened to Gong Yicheng's orders, so they shouldn't have so many bank notes.

Where does this gang get their money from?

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in his heart, his complexion suddenly changed, he didn't even say a word, he went straight down the gate tower, got on his horse, and galloped in the direction of Youhuang Hall and go.

There was a lamp in the room, but suddenly a light flickered.

Lu Xian made plans with a black face, and his voice was exceptionally loud.

Xie Wei was holding a white jade chess piece in his hand, staring at the chessboard in front of him, but he didn't move it for a long time, until a little boy outside told that Mr. Daoqin had returned, he raised his eyes abruptly, his eyes were silent. There is a bit of murderous intent hidden in the bottom of his eyes!

Daoqin walked in.

Xie Wei asked, "How?"

Daoqin knew that the matter was urgent, so she didn't dare to say anything else, but handed him the thick stack of banknotes that had been collected from those people earlier, and said: "I didn't find the letter that Gongyicheng asked them to send. , only the fifty thousand taels of silver notes were found on them!"

"Only bank notes, no letters?"

Xie Wei's heart suddenly went cold, and he felt a shiver creep up his spine and up his whole body.

He knows people's hearts too well.

He guessed what happened almost instantly: After losing contact with Gong Yicheng, this group of people had a letter in their hands, so they must have become greedy, and exchanged this letter for this large sum of money!

The chess piece pressed in his hand suddenly fell into his palm.

Xie Wei's eyebrows flashed with hostility, the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were shaking in his eyes, which disturbed him, he raised his hand and pushed the chessboard upside down, causing the chess pieces to fall all over the ground.

Crackling.

But it made the inside and outside of the house even more silent.

Lu Xian was not in a good mood, but at this moment he didn't even dare to breathe.

It's just that when his gaze inadvertently passed over the stack of bank notes, he suddenly couldn't hold back a "huh": These two bank notes on the face, why do they look so... familiar?

His heart skipped a beat.

An astonishing thought suddenly crossed his mind, causing him to reach out and grab the stack of bank notes in his hand, and carefully read them one by one.

The more you look, the brighter your eyes become.

Lu Xian's heart was beating extremely fast, and he even felt an indescribable excitement, he directly took out the fifteen thousand taels of silver notes, put them in front of Xie Wei, and said in a trembling voice: "Do you recognize it? "

Xie Wei frowned: "What?"

Lu Xian took a deep breath: "This is obviously the bank note that I took out to buy the bank shares of the salt farm this afternoon! There are fifteen Tongheng bank numbers in a row. Not only are they tokens, but they were even left in my pocket when I left. The creases are all the same!"

What this means, I really can't understand it!

Lu Xiansheng was afraid that Xie Wei would not believe him, so he just spread out the pile of bank notes in front of Xie Wei one by one, and pointed out all the conclusive details in the middle: "I just said that it's so good that I suddenly want to throw away the money. I didn’t expect the bank shares to be used here. If the person who issued the bank note is the buyer of that letter, this person must be inextricably related to the concubine in the Qingyuan uncle’s mansion!"

and…

Who would pay such a high price to buy such a letter that can be regarded as evidence of the crime of the Hou family?

Either they are big enemies who wish they could put the Houfu to death.

either...

Xie Wei was silent for a while, and his slender fingers rested lightly on the edge of a thousand taels of silver bill laid flat on the table. While thinking about it, he folded a corner, and saw a few sporadic spots left on the edge of the silver bill. Dot narrow ink blots.

He frowned, his eyes fixed on it.

Lu Xian also noticed where he was looking, and couldn't help being startled, and said: "Why don't I remember these ink marks before..."

Xie Wei looked up at him.

Then, as if thinking of something, he turned all the fifteen banknotes to the back one by one.

Lu Xian was dumbfounded.

Because on the right edge of each bank note, there are a few narrow ink marks that stop abruptly!

Xie Weilue thought for a while, then adjusted the order, and arranged the fifteen banknotes facing the ink marks on the right edge one by one, one on top of the other, but staggered by a narrow strip, and all the ink marks were like The puzzle pieces generally fit together.

It turned out that someone had left a word on the silver ticket!

The handwriting is not particularly neat, and it is even a little crooked. It actually reads a bit wronged and pitiful. It reads: "Sir, it's me. I know I was wrong."

At the end, I also drew a little tortoise.

At this moment, Xie Wei couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, the hostility in his eyes suddenly melted like ice and snow.
