Prince Yi's Mansion.
Upstairs on board.
Prince Yi, who was standing on the top of the boat, put down the clairvoyance in his hand and faced the palace. There has been some bad news in the past two days, and his mood is a little gloomy. Many ministers in the imperial court have already asked him to come to him because of the fact that the goods are in the world. And these people are people who support him. In order to win over these people, it was one of the means to let them become members to buy goods and go all over the world. Now that there is going to be a problem with the currency exchange, he will definitely lose a lot of help if he stands by and does nothing.
But he himself is the cleanest one in Hutong Tianxia, because he knows that the firm is not reliable. It would be fanciful to expect a firm to hide his own secrets, but it would be an idiot to let a firm hold the secrets. If the things he secretly planned were involved in trivial matters in the business, the gains would outweigh the losses.
So Prince Yi actually admired Wu Yidao, who had the courage to accept money from so many adults in the imperial court as shares. You must know that these courtiers are double-edged swords. With them, Hutong Tianxia will naturally have more confidence in business, and you will not be afraid of being made things difficult wherever you go. And once something happens, these adults will not be merciful when they draw a knife to kill someone.
Wu Yidao is such a smart person, since he dared to take the money from these adults, he must have something to rely on. This is also the reason why Prince Yi hasn't come forward in person. He wanted to see what Wu Yidao's cards were.
But those courtiers came to plead yesterday, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Qin Liuqi stood respectfully beside Prince Yi, and explained the results of the discussions of those adults. After he finished speaking, Prince Yi hummed and said, "It's rare for these idiots to be smart once, and they didn't act rashly. If Wu Yidao would fight to the death, and hand over the account to the emperor... the court would have already exploded. Wu Yidao The reason they didn't do it was waiting for these idiots to figure out why."
"Wu Yiyi doesn't want to lose his money, and those idiots don't want to lose their official positions. This is a very delicate point, and there is no doubt that Wu Yiyi is holding on to this point."
Qin Liuqi lowered his head and said: "My lord is right. If Wu Yidao wants to keep his property, he can only force those adults to stand by him. The line is owned by the palace, and the emperor is not easy to force it."
Prince Yi sneered and said: "What Wu Yiyi didn't understand the most was that the emperor is a person who can be controlled by others? Want to fight head-on with the emperor? It's so stupid... Gu knows fourth brother too well, it seems that he is a The benevolent emperor is actually as cold and hard as a stone. No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do."
"What does the lord mean, give up those courtiers?"
Qin Liuqi asked cautiously.
"Not yet..."
Prince Yi sighed and said: "Now I still need those idiots, if I don't save them, the next thing I will do will be difficult. The army's expedition is just the beginning, and the next road will be more difficult step by step. Although the idiot is of no great use, if you use it well, it can drive the emperor crazy... You go back to see Wu Yidao and tell him that if he is willing to hand over the things, I will guarantee him to leave Chang'an City safely."
"The subordinate understands."
Qin Liuqi thought for a while and said, "But Wu Yidao's attitude seems very firm."
"No one would be willing to change it..."
Prince Yi smiled and said: "Such a large property, even the orphan is tempted. But the emperor knows that the war in the northwest cannot be resolved in a short while. If it goes on for a long time, the treasury of the Sui Dynasty will not be able to support it. With Hutong Tianxia accepted, he will have more confidence in fighting the Northwest."
"If Wu Yidao really refuses to give in, then... let those idiots solve it themselves. Now that I can't put my feet in this pool of water, Li Yuanshan hasn't managed the Northwest matter for a while, so I still have to be that swimmer." A prince like a wild crane playing in the mountains and rivers. Although Li Yuanshan's side is not the only way, but it is the way to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot... I have been planning for so many years, and finally waited for the opportunity, how can I waste all my previous efforts because of some trivial things?"
He turned and stepped off the roof.
When turning around, his gaze stayed in the direction of the palace in the distance for a while, as if he was a little bit reluctant.
"Prepare the chariots and horses, I will enter the palace later."
Prince Yi gave instructions as he walked down: "It's time for Gu to meet Fourth Brother, and it's time to meet the Queen Mother. The courtiers are all speaking for Gu. I heard that Fourth Brother lost his temper in Dongnuan Pavilion... It's time for Gu to show his loyalty and shed tears, and tell him that Gu really didn't want to go to the Northwest, it was all the courtiers' private speculation. The more Gu said that he didn't want to go, the more the fourth brother would think that I really wanted to go Going to see him alone, he will think that Gufa panicked and confessed his innocence... Hehe, fighting and playing with the fourth brother is the greatest joy in life."
Qin Liuqi didn't dare to intervene, and cautiously followed behind Prince Yi.
"My lord went to Qingfeng Temple yesterday, how did you get it?"
he asked after a while.
Prince Yi smiled: "So many people follow, what can be gained. But since it is a predetermined matter, it is expected that there will be no problems. Master Xiao is actually smarter than anyone else, he understands the meaning of the lonely words."
Qin Liuqi hummed and said, "As long as there is no problem with Qingfeng Guan, there is really no problem."
Speaking of these, Prince Yi seemed to be in a better mood: "How is Fang Jie?"
Qin Liuqi bowed and replied: "The news sent back by Zhuang Die said that Fang Jie didn't seem to have any doubts about her. However, Shen Qingfan looked at her quite hostilely and always tried lukewarmly. Starting from yesterday, Fang Jie told Zhuang Die to be responsible for shopping in the future, so that she would be better able to bring out the news."
Prince Yi hummed and said, "Gu has been wondering if Fang Jie was sent here on purpose by the emperor. If that's the case, then the emperor's methods are too low-level... Could it be that he thought that Gu would really deal with a A boy of unknown origin confiding in his heart?"
"Just keep an eye on it... Also, ask Zhuang Die to find a chance to search Fang Jie's place to see if Wu Yidao gave Fang Jie something."
"This subordinate will do it."
Qin Liuqi responded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fang Henshui has been hanging around Fang Jie these days. This person is disobedient. When classes were suspended a few days ago, he even followed Professor Mo of the Academy of Martial Arts. Everything."
Prince Yi frowned, and snorted coldly: "Warning him, if he acts like this again... I don't need the people from the Ouchi guards to do anything, I will send him to the 18th floor of hell first!"
…
…
Sanjin Houfu.
Wu Yiyi glanced at Fang Jie through narrowed eyes, couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said, "I want you to stay in the Martial Arts Institute honestly, open the shop honestly, and don't run away to me, but you won't listen... Are you Don't you think that you are so great now that you can intervene in everything?"
Fang Jie stood by the bookshelf and randomly took a treasure to play with: "You are the proprietor, and you paid the money... The matter is almost settled, I have to report to you, right? The date is set on the twelfth of February, When the time comes, the girls from Hongxiu Zhao will wear those clothes for the people of the city to see... How about it, isn't it a good day to choose?"
Wu Yidao hummed: "That's your business... If you have nothing else to do, you can leave."
Fang Jie curled his lips: "Anyway, I've already come in, what difference does it make to go out early and late."
"It's not in your character."
Wu Yidao frowned slightly: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid… "
Fang Jie said: "There are only two kinds of people in this world who are not afraid of death... one is called a hero, and the other is called an idiot. I definitely don't belong to the former, and of course I don't belong to the latter. So it is certain that you are afraid of death, but it has nothing to do with your What's the matter with the Marquis of Sanjin? I'm just here to drop by, even if there are countless assassins breaking in... I think it's still useful to kneel down and beg for mercy."
Wu Yidao couldn't help but smiled: "I'm afraid you won't be able to change your shameless temper."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "I have no merits or vigor, and it's not realistic to expect me to live and die with you. After much deliberation, the only thing I can do is to see if you are dead from time to time. I will buy a thin willow coffin and bury you in it."
"mean!"
Wu Yidao smiled: "No matter what, I have to buy a coffin made of golden nanmu."
Fang Jie said: "Why are you wasting money so much? When you die, you don't know what to do. Why do you care about using the dead body? But if you really have something you can't bear, please tell me. For example, I can replace the antiques and curios in this room for you." Keep them all safe."
Wu Yidao hummed and said, "Don't worry, if I'm sure I'm going to die, I'll burn this yard down before I die."
Fang Jie sighed: "So cruel... I came today to tell you that I have sent all the people who can be sent to Jiangnan, but I am not sure that those people can protect Yinyu. How can you tell me that you have been all-powerful for so many years?" Do you really have no hidden strength? Do you have to entrust such an unreliable person like me to do such a serious thing? You are too serious when you are a father. If I am stupid and don’t understand what you mean, Isn't your daughter in danger?"
"There must be."
Wu Yiyi nodded and said, "Everyone has some secrets, right?"
Fang Jie put down the treasure in his hand, looked at Wu Yidao curiously and asked, "Let's hear it?"
Wu Yidao said seriously: "Ten thousand taels of silver is a word, and it's genuine. If you can't use the bank note I gave you, it's not your money."
Fang Jie gave him a blank look: "Since you have an arrangement, why did you hint that I would send someone to Jiangnan?"
Wu Yiyi said with a smile: "Try it, let's see if you are worth making friends with."
Fang Jie took a sip, "Are you bored?"
Wu Yiyi shook his head: "Let's talk, since you came here today, you definitely didn't just talk about these things. If you didn't have some unsolvable puzzles, you wouldn't come to me. Don't think I will Believe what you said before about collecting the corpse, you are not that loyal."
Fang Jie praised: "You really know me so well... I want to ask... At this time, the Taoist priests from Wudang Mountain suddenly arrived in the imperial capital, will there be any major events going to happen?"
Wu Yiyi's expression changed: "How do you know?"
Fang Jie spread his hands: "Coincidence."
Wu Yidao was silent for a while and then said very solemnly: "Don't worry about it, don't touch it... Fang Jie, I must tell you that if you get involved in my affairs, you will die. If you mix it in, you will die without life!"
Fang Jie frowned: "What do you really know?"
Wu Yidao waved his hand: "You go, just remember my words. And... from today onwards, if you dare to step into the door of my Sanjinhou Mansion again, I will castrate you. Be honest and do your martial arts." College students, behave yourself as your shop owner. Ten years later will be your stage, if you try to climb up so early, you will fall to your death sooner or later."
After being silent for a while, Fang Jie asked equally seriously: "Then you think I will fall to my death from the height I am climbing now?"
Wu Yidao nodded: "Yes."
Fang Jie smiled and said casually: "Then what am I afraid of? If I fall down now, I will fall to my death, and if I climb higher, I will still fall to my death. The only difference is that the corpse is more rotten... But it is already dead, and I am still dead." Why do you care about the corpse? If you are destined to fall, then fall vigorously. What if you don't fall?"
He laughed loudly as he walked out, "Didn't I make a lot of money?!"
Wu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and stared at Fang Xie's leaving back for a long time. When the boy's back disappeared, he suddenly smiled: "I really thought I would believe that you are the kind of person who keeps going forward? You must have figured out something... Interesting."
