Zhao Shanhe didn't fully come back to his senses until Lu Li left.
Ah Qi walked to the box of jade coins and felt the weight of the box with his hands. An excited look appeared on his face, "Second brother, this box of jade coins is at least four times more than last time." become."
That's close to half.
Ah Qi could only roughly feel the weight based on it, but such extremely valuable currency as jade coins was hard to see on ordinary days. Ah Qi remembered the 'weight' of the previous box of jade coins very deeply. Now that she got this box of jade coins, Ah Qi simply felt it and was sure that its value was far greater than the previous box.
Got rich.
This was the first thought that flashed through Ah Qi's mind.
Although the current Wanshitang seems to be prosperous, it actually doesn't have much wealth. Others don't know it, but Ah Qi knows it.
The previous deal with Lu Li allowed Wanshitang to obtain a large amount of funds, which allowed it to quickly expand its power and open up many news channels. But that jade money was also spent a lot. Zhao Shanhe only wanted to make Wanshitang grow and didn't care about spending money at all. Except for the share given to his "brothers", he didn't leave anything for himself. .
At this rate, Wanshitang will soon be stretched thin and unsustainable.
Therefore, Ah Qi felt that Lu Li's jade money was really timely.
"Hey, this money is not easy to make."
Seeing Ah Qi's happy expression, Zhao Shanhe sighed and said helplessly: "There are so many secrets involved in a mysterious department like the Ministry of Construction. Our Wanshitang intervened rashly, and if we are not careful, it will be overturned."
"Although we have Lu Li's back, Manager Lu is already at the top of his game. If the Ministry of Construction really wants to go head-to-head with him, it won't gain much."
"Anyway..."
When Zhao Shanhe said this, he paused slightly, looked at the jade coin box at Ah Qi's feet, and sighed: "Let the brothers go out first, and start to find out the news about the Ministry of Construction from the edges. It's best not to alert the other party, we just need to inquire When we get to the Ministry of Construction position, there is no need for conflict."
"I know, second brother." Ah Qi nodded.
In this regard, he always obeyed Zhao Shanhe.
"What about this box of jade coins?" After accepting the errand, Ah Qi suddenly looked at the jade coins at his feet and hesitated for a moment.
Zhao Shanhe thought for a while and said: "First give some 'example money' to the brothers involved in this matter, and then use part of it to open up the intelligence channels we have opened before. Those guys are all out of sight." If you don't see the exact benefits, you can't get even a word out of their mouths."
Hearing Zhao Shanhe's words, Ah Qi leaned over to open the box and saw that it was filled with shimmering jade coins. Her throat moved, and finally she strictly followed Zhao Shanhe's request and took a small portion.
This part is enough to clear the relationship and issue money.
Snapped!
After closing the box, Ah Qi tried his best to look away and said with a wry smile: "I don't know where Mr. Lu got the money from. To him, high-end currencies like jade coins are just like money on the street." .”
"There are some things that only if you don't ask or inquire about, you can live longer."
Zhao Shanhe glanced at Ah Qi with a hint of warning.
At the same time, he added silently in his heart.
How much of the accumulation of hundreds of years by those aristocratic families in Yanzhou ended up in the hands of this 'Devil King'? No one can explain this. But Zhao Shanhe only knew that after this battle, Lu Li would probably become one of the richest masters in the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian.
Let alone a box of jade money, as long as he leaks some benefits from his fingers, Wanshitang will benefit endlessly.
How to hold this thigh is what Zhao Shanhe really needs to think about now.
…
After exiting the secret door, Lu Li did not leave directly. Instead, he looked around among the drinkers in the tavern and saw the drunkard pouring himself a drink. He then said to the silent waiter, "Here's a bottle of wine."
The waiter was stunned, but he didn't dare to provoke the 'Devil King'. He responded submissively, turned around and ran to get the best wine in the tavern.
Lu Li sat down in front of the drunkard and said with a smile, "Let's chat for a while?"
The drunkard was silent, his eyes only staring at the food and wine in front of him, as if he could see some flowers on them, with no intention of agreeing or rejecting.
At this time, the waiter had brought the wine and carefully placed it in front of Lu Li. He didn't even dare to say anything more, turned around and left.
"The wine is good."
The drunkard raised his gaze a few inches, looked at the jug in front of him, and said calmly: "This tavern is very stingy. Good wine like this is often not something you can buy even if you have money. Today I borrowed Mr. Lu's wine Light, try this fine wine.”
As he spoke, the drunkard reached for the wine bottle.
Lu Li held down the pot of wine and said calmly: "Let's chat for a few words before drinking."
"What do you want to talk about?"
The drunkard looked at Lu Li and said helplessly: "As you can see, I am just an incompetent drunkard hanging out in the tavern. I have no value and can't help Mr. Lu. What is there for Mr. Lu to talk about for a little guy like me? "
"Little people sometimes have unexpected effects."
"What's more, you're not really a nobody."
Lu Li grinned and said, "You really want me to reveal your identity now?"
He looked at the other people in the tavern, and the implication was self-evident.
The drunkard hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lu, I have lost my power. I really can't help you. I'm sorry."
"The person you want to help is not me, but yourself." Lu Li then let go of his hand on the wine bottle, grabbed it and filled the drink for the drunkard, pushed it in front of him and said, "You should be very familiar with Fang Yin. .”
At the mention of Fang Yin's name, the drunkard raised his eyebrows, took a deep look at Lu Li, picked up the glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and sighed: "It was difficult to drink such fine wine even in the past."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed the pot of wine, stood up calmly and said, "This is not the place to talk, just come with me."
He walked straight out of the tavern. Lu Li looked at his back, chuckled, and followed him.
The drunkard took Lu Li all the way to the end of South Street. The drunkard stopped in front of an old house and said calmly: "It's a humble house, Mr. Lu, don't dislike it."
Lu Li looked at the old house, nodded and said, "This is indeed not in line with the identity of the Sixth Envoy of the Tianbu, but it is very consistent with your identity as the 'Secret Envoy'."
At this point, Lu Li turned around, stared at the drunkard and said, "Secret Master Zhou Jing, am I right?"
"It seems that Mr. Lu has made sufficient preparations."
The drunkard, the secret envoy Zhou Jing nodded, did not deny his identity, but showed a smile and said: "Among the six envoys of Tianbu, my name is more difficult to find than Song Bocheng. Even Song Bocheng and Fang Yin , I only know that the Secret Envoy is a drunkard, but he doesn’t know that my name is Zhou Jing.”
"With such extraordinary ability, what else do you need me to do for you, Mr. Lu?"
"I said, you are not helping me, you are helping yourself."
Lu Li withdrew his gaze, "Uncle Song admitted that all the six envoys of the Tianbu except Fang Yin had rebelled. Now that he holds the inheritance of the second leader, he will be able to succeed the leader of the Tianbu sooner or later. Do you think that when he becomes What would the leader of the Tianbu do to a traitor like you?"
"Probably to eradicate the root cause." Zhou Jing said nonchalantly: "But I have completely lost my power in the way I look now. I will not defend the rebellion, but a loser like me can't influence any situation, right? Song Bocheng and his Instead of focusing on me, it’s better to look for the weaknesses of the other people.”
"The six envoys of the Ministry of Heaven each perform their own duties, and no one is easy to mess with." Lu Li said calmly: "As you said, Song Bocheng is looking for the weaknesses of several others, but for you, I am different. view."
"The responsibilities of the Secret Envoy slightly overlap with those of the All Beings Envoy. It's just that you have a good relationship with Fang Yin and there has been no conflict. Otherwise, just this kind of check and balance method set by the Ministry of Heaven from the beginning, It can make you miserable."
"In this precarious moment, even Fang Yin insists on not rebelling. I don't think you, Zhou Jing, are any worse than Fang Yin."
Lu Li smiled and said, "How about it? Do you want to take back what belongs to you?"
