A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 108: Silver ticket

Views:

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 Factory happened to be a wave of ups and downs. Ordinary people expected the beginning, but not the middle, and the middle, but not the end. It is a typical example that no one in the world is suitable for making money by this method.

It's just that Jiang Xuening is the first to do this kind of thing, and there is no precedent for reference, so he is always extra careful.

Don't miss the time by accident.

However, compared to others, she has the advantage of being a prophet, 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 had a relationship with You Fangyin of Qingyuan Uncle Mansion, but he didn't know what they were going to do. But recently, there were some rumors in the market, which had also spread to his ears. He knew that You Fangyin was going to marry Ren Weizhi, and he naturally heard about the silver stock in the salt field in Shudi.

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 15,000 taels of silver stocks left in the salt field were probably in Jiang Xuening's hands, and then he remembered the earlier arrest of Bofu. The 10,000 taels of silver that the young lady extorted for Jiang Xuening made her heart tremble.

The quaint qin body has been played in incense over the years, and even if there is no incense burning around at the moment, there are still a few faint traces of Zen incense.

After the hook just now, the trembling of the strings did not stop.

Jiang Xuening stared at the strings and asked, "Is there any news from the DPRK recently?"

Zhou Yinzhi said: "The case of Yongyi Hou's mansion is still on trial..."

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

One side believes that although the Hou Mansion has correspondence with the rebels and the rebels, Tai Ban is because he wants to inquire about the whereabouts of Dingfei's son twenty years ago. .

The other party decided that it was no excuse to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince.

Everyone knows that the Dingfei prince of Xiao Yan and the two clans died twenty years ago. If you want to find it, you should go to the 'Yi Tong Tomb'. Yong Yi Hou Yanmu knew that the other party was a rebel and still wanted to contact him. The crime of genocide is not punished, and the chief culprits, such as Shepherd Yan and his wife and children, will also be the heads of the crowd to convince 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 Hanlin Academy, and his authority in the court is growing, and his eyes and ears should be well-informed. You may have suitable people under your command who can let them 'hear' some news. ?"

Zhou Yinzhi was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Xuening added slowly: "After the gang of people from Tianjiao get the money from me, they will definitely not stay in the capital, but want to secretly leave the right and wrong places. You are Jin Yiwei, and you don't have the right to do so. If you can’t do this, let’s leave it to someone else to do it.”

This money was originally prepared for Yongyi Hou's mansion, but she did not want it to fall into the hands of the younger generation.

However, she was afraid that her power alone could not stop this.

What's more, she was also afraid that the other party would eat her money and would not give her the letter. She didn't hit a rabbit and was pecked by an eagle. The most important thing was that there should be no mistakes in the letter, so besides herself, it is best to have a letter Assure.

Zhou Yinzhi really couldn't understand her intentions.

This Master Xie is by no means a simple character. It is not a simple matter to make people feel that he does not deliberately pass on the message.

However, he immediately thought of Jiang Xuening's relationship with Xie Wei.

Should it be a teacher

But since Xie Wei knew, why didn't he just say it directly

Maybe the relationship between the two is still a little unusual. It's not something he can guess. It's better to pretend that you don't know anything, don't think about anything, and just think about how to accomplish this.

After seeing Jiang Xuening, Zhou Yinzhi left with the 10,000 taels of silver notes.

When I came out of the mansion, I 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 faced each other.

You Fangyin was stunned when she saw him, but then she smiled and bowed to him, but it was difficult to speak at the gate of Jiang's residence, so she walked in like this.

You Fangyin is about to get married.

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

Taking a closer look at this girl, it is not the same as in the past.

Probably also know that people are going to get married, and the time for face is always a little perfunctory. It doesn't cost a lot of money for such a prostitute's clothes that can be seen by both of them, and also expects Ren Weizhi to make more money. Money, of course, would not be too bad for You Fangyin.

Wearing a new water-red dress, her complexion was also quite ruddy, which was a rare beauty.

Jiang Xuening took her to look around, and she felt happy, and said: "So I thought this Ren Weizhi was nothing more than that, but seeing you change your appearance, you don't need to suffer in the house, and I feel that this person is reluctant. It's worthy of our Fangyin."

You Fangyin blushed at her words, and said indifferently, "Yes, it's a fake marriage."

Jiang Xuening just remembered, "Oh", and sighed involuntarily: "Marriage is such a big event that many daughters have only once in their lives, but doing this is a last resort, and I wronged you very much."

But You Fangyin didn't feel any grievances. Although getting married was a once-in-a-lifetime event for many people, but for her, life in the uncle's mansion in Qingyuan was really difficult. Unbelievable luck.

She has not dared to sleep too deeply these days.

For fear of falling asleep, only to wake up to find that it was all just a beautiful dream.

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

Is it difficult

Taking a sum of money and marrying a good girl, although it is a fake marriage, it is also a good thing that cannot be found under the lantern, so Ren Weizhi dares to feel embarrassed

Jiang Xuening snorted softly in his heart.

Just in front of You Fangyin, she didn't say anything, she just said: "You came just right, I see that someone from Shu will come to pick you up to marry you in a while. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't have a chance for you."

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

There is also a stack of banknotes.

Jiang Xuening picked it up and put it in You Fangyin's hand, 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 may not want to strangle me when you meet me. I know, with the virtue of Bofu, and your mean sister, I will definitely not prepare much dowry for you. Originally, I prepared more for you, but there are accidents these days, and there are more places to spend money. , so I only left these 3,000 taels of silver notes for you to take with you. Don't let others know about it, and don't tell anyone if you are reappointed. If the money is not revealed, even if you believe him, it may not cause anything. Other disasters. When I come to Shu, if I encounter an emergency, I will be out of reach in the capital, but I will not be able to take care of you. If you have more money in your hand, you should be in a hurry."

Three thousand tael added to her dowry!

You Fangyin was startled, but she felt that the banknote was so hot that she didn't dare to pick it up, so she quickly pushed it back, panicking: "I, the girl has been very good to me, how can I ask for the girl's money? ?"

Jiang Xuening guessed that she would not take it.

But she insisted on giving this money to You Fangyin, with a very firm attitude, looked at her seriously and said, "This is not only for you, but also in case there is an emergency in the salt field. Think more about the general manager. That's right. If the salt farm is run, Ren Weizhi will give you dividends, and if you have money in your hand, you don't have to touch the money I gave you. When there is a chance in the future, you can return it to me. The bento is a loan Yours, how are you?"

Only then did You Fangyin hesitate.

Jiang Xuening talked again and again, and she just took the money, but her eyes were red, her eyes were full of tears, she was stupid, she wanted to speak, but she didn't know how to speak.

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

It was both helpless and funny at the moment, so he changed the subject and said, "Is it okay to stay in the house recently, your sister didn't embarrass you?"

You Fangyin said: "No, the second sister was annoyed for a few days when she heard that the silver stock at the Shuxiang Inn fell, but then the silver stock rose again, and she was happy all day long, and she even treated me a lot better. He also took me out to buy new clothes and some jewelry, which was very nice to me."

It seemed that Yu Yue was having a good time.

Jiang Xuening thought and let her be complacent for two more months, and she would cry when she came back. However, he wouldn't say this in front of You Fangyin, so he just smiled slightly and said, "That would be the best."

Jiang Xuening waited for a suitable time, and after thinking about his plan, he also explained a few words to You Fangyin.

The matter on Zhou Yinzhi's side was quickly settled.

For the next ten days, there was no news from Shudi, but everyone was looking forward to something.

Even with my toes, I think and know—

The Ren family in Shu will send someone to pick up the concubine to marry off to Shu. At the same time, it will definitely bring the latest news of the salt field, and once Zhuo Tsutsui can really extract it from the salt well that has been "abandoned" When the well salt comes from below, the silver price of this Ren's salt field will skyrocket!

Everyone is looking forward to it, day by day.

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

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

This morning, the lobby of Shuxiang Inn was full of people. Even if he didn't buy the silver shares of Ren's Salt Field, he even knew that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to buy one, but he wanted to come together. Lively, take a look at the unprecedented spectacle in this business field.

Everyone looked at the door from time to time.

Every time someone came in, they turned their heads and looked at them, but they just sat there until early noon, and the people they were waiting for and the news hadn't come yet.

Seeing that it was almost noon, some people dispersed.

Those who live nearby want 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 the noon, a burly man in a bunt suit came galloping from a distance, just threw the reins at the little Eryi at the door, and walked in with big strides wiping away the hot sweat in the cold weather. Shuxiang Inn, speaking a pair of flat and flat Mandarin with some Shu accent, shouted loudly: "Where's the shopkeeper?"

When everyone heard this, their spirits suddenly shook.

The shopkeeper Zhengti slipped away and asked them to hurry to the back kitchen to rush the dishes. Hearing the voice, he turned his head and saw the person, his eyes suddenly lit up: "But the person sent by Mr. Ren?"

The burly man smiled heartily, showing a row of white teeth, obviously very happy, and said: "Exactly. I am the newly hired servant of Ren Gongzi, and I specially brought someone to Beijing to welcome the future young mistress to Shu. The Zhuo Tsutsui made by Mr. Ren had already extracted the brine from the salt wells that were abandoned and could no longer be mined seven days ago, and boiled new well salt. When I left, the whole salt field in Zigong came to see it. Mr. Ren gave me special instructions. Come to the inn and let me know, and also ask the shopkeeper to write the news on the board, so that people who bought our Yanchang silver shares can rest assured!"

His voice was so loud that everyone in the lobby could hear him.

So there was a "bang", and the whole thing exploded. There was a sudden burst of people in the lobby, and no one could hear who was talking.

That man was quite dashing, because he still had something to do, so he was going to the uncle's mansion in Qingyuan to pick him up.

Everyone was excited by the news.

There are also a small number of people who wonder if Ren Weizhi is falsifying. After all, this kind of thing sounds like a legend, and it is a bit unbelievable.

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

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

In the mining of well salt in Shudi, the brine is hidden deep beneath the ground. The original well salt mining can only be done by drilling a well down. It is amazing to have a depth of three or four feet, but there is no way to go deeper. Often, when a well is mined to three or four zhang, it will be abandoned if it cannot produce brine.

However, Zhuo Tsutsui was able to hit ten feet or even dozens of feet underground!

Drill down through the opened bamboo tube, and the salty spring spews from the bottom of the well. What kind of "Xianquan" is this, but the silver of the white flowers!

The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are not bad. After all, they all rely on the sea to make a living, and the sea water is used as salt. The technology of mining experience has changed, and the impact on them is not big for the time being, but there are more competitors; the big salt in Sichuan The merchants knew the news, but they couldn't sit still no matter where they were. After learning the news, they all rushed to the Zigong Ren's Salt Field to see and see.

As soon as this Zhuo Tsutsui came out, it was already going to change the pattern of the entire salt industry in Shu!

The more news everyone listens to, the less voices of doubt, and the higher the enthusiasm for Ren's Salt Field silver stocks, and the price of silver stocks naturally begins to climb!

More than 600 texts have been written by no one at all.

Someone in the lobby shouted for seven hundred, eight hundred, and nine hundred, but no one answered.

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

The time Jiang Xuening had been waiting for had finally come.

Of course, the silver stock price in Ren's Salt Works will continue to rise for a while, but the matter of the letter from Yongyi Hou's mansion is imminent. More, she didn't dare to wait any longer.

The thousand silver stocks on the market were released by her to investigate the situation.

But she didn't show up for this transaction, neither did the buyer, and they didn't know each other's identities.

At that time, Jiang Xuening extorted 10,000 taels of silver from the Uncle's Mansion in Qingyuan, all of which were handed over to You Fangyin, who entered the Ren's Salt Field's silver shares.

She took advantage of the low price of the hundreds of shares in the hands of Boss Liu the other day.

It's just a fraction of that to her.

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

But this is by no means a decimal.

Not many people can afford the money.

If she directly released 15,000 shares to the market, even if she had nothing to do, it would cause others to wonder if there was something tricky in it.

The price might even fall.

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

In Beijing, it can be said that all business people 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 could not detect the clue, but Lu Xian felt a little strange, and his eyes suddenly flashed: "No, this situation is not right. The market of Ren's Salt Field is bullish, and it is possible to throw a thousand shares and then toss. If you issue a thousand shares, I'm afraid there is a person who holds a large amount of silver stocks behind! To sell silver stocks at this time, either you are not optimistic about the future of Ren's Salt Works, or... This person is very short of money now! "

There was no one in the quiet hall.

Xie Wei sat cross-legged across from him, watching him rattle the abacus in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "When others lack money, so what?"

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

He had some thoughts in his heart for a long time, and he put it down when he was halfway through the abacus. He actually got up and said, "No, such a great opportunity, I must not miss it!"

Xie Wei frowned: "I still want to talk to you about the Heavenly Sect..."

Lu Xian waved his hand but didn't reply: "Since you have news about those gangs, they are going to leave the city soon. It's easy to capture these gangs, so you don't need to discuss with me. I'm in a hurry to make money, you No matter how important things are, I'll go out and find someone first!"

It's snowing outside.

It's been down for several days.

Before going out, Lu Xian thought about it, just in case, he simply put the silver note and the seal on his body, took the umbrella from Xiaotong's hand, and went straight to Baiguo Temple in Beijing.

These days, he has sent people to stare at the Qingyuan Uncle's Mansion.

Lu Xian knew the whereabouts of You Fangyin very well.

Tomorrow, she will set off from the capital to go to the land of Shu. Of course, the girl before marriage is going to go to the temple to put incense and pray for her marriage. Even though You Fangyin was a fake marriage, there were a lot of things to do, and there were no flaws on her face.

This time, there was a little girl from the manor accompanying him.

Lu Xian didn't take such a small role in his eyes, and sent someone to leave the little girl outside to speak, but he knocked on the door unceremoniously: "Is there Miss You Fangyinyou? In Lu Zhaoyin, I want to talk to the girl about a business."

You Fangyin came to worship the temple today, and asked for a sign along the way. At the moment, she was looking at the sign and almost trembled when she heard the knock on the door, and when she heard someone outside reporting their home, a thought came to her mind. Come face.

The two girls expected it well, and this person was actually found.

She couldn't help but admire her, but she was also a little nervous, so she calmed down and said, "Please come in."

Lu Xian pushed open the door and entered.

A simple meditation room, very simple, with the simple word "empty" hanging on it.

When he just raised his eyes and saw You Fangyin, he couldn't help but stunned for a moment: In the past, this girl he had met at the Shuxiang Inn, she was dressed in rough clothes worn by a maid, and even had a yellow face and thin skin. Very shabby; now it is a little plumper, and her cheeks are a little flushed. I don’t know if it is because of the marriage. Although the eyebrows are not as original, they give people a feeling of gentleness like water, a kind of glow from the inside out. The light that came out, when his eyes fell on him, made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Only then did Lu Xian realize—

That's right, the girl is going to get married tomorrow, but she dares to come and talk about business today, she's really not small.

You Fangyin asked: "I don't seem to have made an appointment with you. I don't know if Boss Lu came here. Is there any business to discuss?"

Only then did Lu Xian return to his senses, and after a smile, he exorcised the momentary strangeness in his heart, and said, "Others don't know it, but Young Lady You and I should know. Mingren don't speak secretly in front of Ming people. The person who made the money should be the girl, or the person behind the girl, right?"

You Fangyin did not speak.

Lu Xian said confidently: "Although Lu doesn't know where the girl needs to use all the money, he must be eager to sell the silver stocks, right? It's just that there are many businessmen in Beijing who are paying attention to this matter. With such a large sum of money, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a few people. I have been in business for many years, and I have no reputation. Instead of you throwing out a thousand shares and a thousand shares, it is troublesome to deal with. Be careful not to be discovered, why don't you give me as much as I can, 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 yuan?"

There was a slight smile on Lu Xian's lips: "There are few silver stocks on the market, so the price is high, and it is not unusual to have such a price. But Miss Ruoyou threw all the silver stocks in her hand in one breath, this is not surprising. The price is not so high.”

Taking advantage of the fire to rob, that's the essence.

Lu Xian deeply understands the essence of it.

When You Fangyin heard this, she sighed in her heart. Fortunately, Jiang Xuening had told her this before, and now she heard it from Lu Xian's mouth, but there was not much anger.

Just thought, the second girl really expected things like God.

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

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

Lu Xian asked back, "How much did Miss You pay?"

You Fang groaned, "Fifteen thousand shares."

Lu Xian sucked in a deep breath, raised his eyebrows and said, "Thirteen thousand taels."

When You Fangyin heard this, her little face became cold, and she said, "Boss Lu didn't buy it with sincerity at all."

Lu Xian smiled, "I'm very sincere."

You Fangyin wanted to see off guests.

Lu Xian refused to leave, his fingers lightly clasped the edge of the table, and his attitude was very casual: "You, or the owner behind you, are missing 15,000 taels."

A bit of anger appeared in You Fangyin's eyes.

Seeing her like this, Lu Xian knew more and more that he guessed right.

The feeling of being in control of everything made him feel extremely happy, as if he was holding the life of the girl in front of him. Business talk about business. When doing business, everyone has a shortage of money. I, Lu, have always been kind, and I am willing to help people when I can. Since there is a shortage of 15,000 taels, it is better to go out. Give me 17,000 silver shares, and let's negotiate the business with a hammer, and save the girl from worrying about those little money, right?"

Maybe it was these words that hit You Fangyin's heart. He looked at the other party's expression and seemed to hesitate, as if he was seriously considering what he said.

Lu Xian made persistent efforts and continued to encourage her.

One word after another can be said to be hard-hearted, and she also said that if she put all these silver stocks on the market in one breath, I am afraid that people will suspect that there is something behind the scenes in the salt field. Can't sell it.

But You Fangyin still didn't let go.

At this time, Lu Xian used his trump card, turned his face hard, and said, "After talking so much, Miss You has no intention of selling these silver stocks. It seems that this business cannot be negotiated. Say goodbye first!"

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

You Fangyin didn't stop him.

Lu Xian walked out of the meditation room and counted silently in his heart. Sure enough, after he counted to three, there was a hurried voice from behind: "Boss Lu, stay!"

A successful smile overflowed from Lu Xian's lips.

He knew it had happened.

Although this method of negotiating a price is old, it has been tried and tested in the end!

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

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

The two sides hit it off. Lu Xian came with a silver note, and he was determined to win. Needless to say, he was a little surprised that You Fangyin also brought the seal with him and signed a contract with him almost immediately.

Seal the letter with one hand, and hand over 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 in Ren's Salt Field were in his hands, and he would only wait for the silver in the future to be credited.

But after walking out for three miles, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.

He held the contract in his arms, but the image of the concubine Yufu also taking out the letter from his body flashed in his mind, and there was an almost "hum" in his head: If not, he is determined to win, if he is not prepared, who will go out? When incense comes with a seal!

He was robbery.

But don't people know that someone will take advantage of the fire

At this thought, I felt a chill in my heart, and I suddenly knew that I was too anxious: "Absolutely short of money! The other party is absolutely insane and short of money! If I can hold my breath a little more, I will definitely be able to hold down more prices! Damn... "

He jumped into a set prepared by others!

Lu Xian's face almost turned green. It would take half an hour to get back on the road, but he stopped for a while, and when it was dark, when he returned to the Youhuang Pavilion, his expression was like a mourning concubine, which was extremely terrifying.

Xie Wei has not left yet.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door and looking up to see Lu Xian walking in with a cold air, his brows raised slightly, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Xian didn't speak with a sullen face, just put the contract on the table.

Xie Wei glanced at it and said, "Isn't this negotiated?"

Lu Xian said, "I've overpaid."

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

In retrospect, Lu Xian knew that he was on top at that time.

Xie Wei heard what he meant, but he immediately understood why his face was so bad: a person like Lu Zhaoyin would not take a step back even if he could take advantage of ten points, he would only take nine points, and he must be full of ten points. I just feel that I am not at a loss. Thinking about it, although he got the silver shares, the price instinct was too low, but he didn't suppress it, so he was angry.

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

After a long delay, he forced himself to suppress this anger.

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

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

It was dark.

The 15,000 taels of silver notes passed from You Fangyin's hand to Jiang Xuening's, then to Zhou Yinzhi, and finally to two black-clothed and masked men.

Zhou Yinzhi only brought Wei Xi.

There are only two other people.

Instead, he kept his promise, paid with one hand, and delivered letters with the other.

Thinking about it, both parties are very cautious, and because of this, the matter is extremely special, and they dare not let more people know. Turn around and leave.

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

Halfway down the road, I looked around to see that there was no one there, then entered an alley, and when I came out, I had changed into ordinary clothes, revealing a face, all of which looked ordinary.

Gongyicheng has no news.

The banknotes have arrived again.

In their hearts, these few people still thought that the Houfu of Yongyi could be regarded as a loyalist, and they had also thought of conspiring with the Heavenly Sect, and they had done a good deed by selling the letter. But staying in the capital, I was afraid that there would be more dreams in the night, so that night after I got the money, I wanted to leave the capital and fly away by taking advantage of some connections from the Heavenly Sect in the capital.

However, when they approached the city gate with a huge amount of silver bills in their arms, and signaled to those who had been 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 swiped on the arrows, and easily fell into the heads of these people. The silver bills in their arms were not warm, and they did not even understand what happened. They fell to the ground and stared at them. A pair of eyes lost their breath.

Upstairs in the city gate, the knife and piano that had been lying in ambush here for a long time, neatly retracted the bow, stood in the dark corner of the gate tower where no one could easily detect it, and instructed the others around him: "Go down and search carefully to see if there is anything that Mr. thing."

Immediately, several shadows descended from above.

I searched carefully up and down, but I didn't find any letters. Instead, I found a thick stack of silver bills and handed them to Daoqin, hesitantly said: "Young Master Daoqin, you have searched all over, this group of people. None of them."

As soon as Daoqin took the thick stack of silver notes, he frowned.

The people who died under the castle towers were all those who secretly listened to Gongyicheng's dispatch, so there shouldn't be so many banknotes.

Where did these people get their money from

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in his heart, his expression changed suddenly, he didn't even say a word, he went straight down from the gate tower, got on his horse, and galloped in the direction of Youhuang Pavilion. And go.

The lights were on in the room, but suddenly the lights burst.

Lu Xian's face was dark, and his voice was extraordinarily loud.

Xie Wei held a white jade chess piece in his hand and stared at the chessboard in front of him, but he didn't move for a while, until there was Xiaotongtong outside saying that the son of Daoqin had returned, and he raised his eyes suddenly, a pair of silent There was a bit of flickering murderous intent buried in his eyes!

Daoqin walked in.

Xie Wei asked, "How?"

Daoqin knew that the matter was urgent, and did not dare to say anything else, but handed him the thick stack of silver notes that had been collected from those people earlier, and said, "I didn't find the letter that Gongyicheng asked them to send. , only found these 50,000 taels of silver notes on them!"

"Only bank notes, no letters?"

Xie Wei felt a sudden chill in his heart, and he felt a shudder climb up his body from his spine.

He knows people too well.

Almost instantly, I guessed what happened: After losing contact with Gongyicheng, this group of people had a letter in their hands, and they must have become greedy, and exchanged this letter for this large amount of money!

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

Xie Wei crossed his eyes with anger, and the black and white pieces on the chessboard swayed in his eyes, making him upset. He raised his hand and pushed the chessboard up, causing the pieces to fall all over the floor.

crackling.

But it made the inside and outside of the house more and more quiet.

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

It's just that when he inadvertently glanced over the stack of silver bills, he suddenly couldn't hold back the "Huh": these two silver bills on the face, why do they look so... familiar

His heart skipped a beat.

An astonishing thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he reached out and grabbed the stack of silver notes in his hand, and looked carefully one by one.

The more you look, the brighter your eyes become.

Lu Xian's heartbeat was extremely fast, and there was even an indescribable excitement, he directly took out 15,000 taels of silver notes, put it in front of Xie Wei, and said with a trembling voice, "Do you recognize it? "

Xie Wei frowned: "What?"

Lu Xian took a deep breath: "This is obviously the silver note I took out to buy the silver stocks in the salt field in the afternoon! Tongheng silver number, fifteen in a row, not only a mark, but even the one I left in my arms when I left. The creases are all the same!"

What this means, can't really understand!

Lv Xian was afraid that Xie Wei would not believe it, so he spread out the stack of silver bills in front of Xie Wei one by one, and pointed out the solid details in the middle to him: "I'll say why Duan Duan suddenly wants to throw away the rally. I didn’t expect it to be used here. If the person who issued the silver note is the buyer of the letter, this person must be inextricably linked with the concubine of Qingyuan Uncle’s Mansion!”

and…

Who would pay such a large price to buy such a letter that could be called evidence of Hou's crime

Either it is a big enemy who can't wait to put the Houfu to death.

either...

Xie Wei was suddenly silent for a few minutes, and his slender fingers lightly rested on the edge of a tiled 1000 tael silver note on the table. While thinking about it, he folded a corner, and saw that there were sporadic marks left on the edge of the silver note. Dot a narrow ink blot.

He frowned, his eyes fixed on it.

Lu Xian also noticed where he was looking, and couldn't help but startled, "Why don't I remember that there were these ink marks before..."

Xie Wei looked up at him.

Next, he seemed to think of something, and turned all the fifteen silver notes to the back one by one.

Lu Xian was immediately stunned.

Because the right edge of each silver note has a narrow ink mark that stops abruptly!

Xie Wei thought for a while, then adjusted the order, arranging the fifteen banknotes one by one facing the ink marks on the right edge. The puzzle pieces generally fit together.

It turned out that someone left a letter on the banknote!

The handwriting is not particularly neat, and it is even a little crooked. It reads a little aggrieved and pitiful. It wrote: "Sir, it's me. I know I'm wrong."

At the end, there is also a little king bastard.

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