Chapter 80: bride price

Views:

This discussion was particularly long, pushing the sense of satiety farther and farther, and it became an unfinished feeling after eating the marrow and knowing the taste. They are accustomed to fighting in the dark, and as the love grows, the kiss is no longer satisfying. The desire to be young and strong | Hope to meet frankly, such sweet and sticky ear rubbing is a unique treat for lovers, because it is a luxury to be together for a moment. However, there are many eyes and ears in the prison, and the kiss is only a kind of tacit compensation.

Xiao Chiye asked at the end of the kiss, "Where did you go?"

Shen Zechuan's thighs rubbed against Xiao Chiye's legs as he sat. He breathed unhurriedly, with a subtle temptation in his half-closed eyes, and said, "Count the money."

Xiao Chiye pinched him and said, "Is it enough to count?"

Shen Zechuan laughed hoarsely, and said, "You squeezed so hard."

Xiao Chiye was laughed furiously by Shen Zechuan, raised his hand to squeeze his chin firmly, and said, "Hook hard."

Shen Zechuan's unbuttoned collar showed his collarbone, and the mark where he was bitten last time has not disappeared. He didn't care, licked his bitten lips and said, "I want to discuss something with you."

Xiao Chiye raised him up and said, "It's a coincidence, I also want to discuss something with you."

Shen Zechuan's mouth was scorched by Xiao Chiye's eyes, and he said, "This year's rations will not start from Juexi until April, and I will use it from the Northeast."

With a little thought, Xiao Chiye knew what he was going to do, and said: "The military rations on the Northeast Grain and Horse Road are escorted by the Libei Railway Cavalry, and no one will check along the way. It is okay to transport silver, but it depends on whether the eldest brother agrees."

"If the money is mine, the prince will naturally not agree, but if the money is yours, the prince will definitely agree." Shen Zechuan raised his chin slightly, "I'm hired, the second son will keep it for me."

"I want to use this amount of money as a dowry gift," Xiao Chiye smiled and freed his hand, raising the food box to the table, "Is it difficult."

Shen Zechuan smelled the smell and said, "There's grilled fish."

After saying that, he forgot the dowry, and took out the chopsticks by himself. Xiao Chiye just watched him eat, half of the rice bowl went down in an instant, and when the fish returned to the plate, only bones were left.

Xiao Chiye actually doesn't like to eat fish. When he was a child, his mother didn't eat early, and he was not so spoiled as the Eight Great Families at home. Although he was served by a maidservant, he had to eat by himself after he could hold chopsticks. He has a hot temper and likes to play a lot. He doesn't spend time picking fishbone.

Xiao Chiye looked at him and said, "Is it fragrant? It is said that the chef from Hezhou is more difficult to hire than the royal chef in the palace." Shen Zechuan picked the thorn and fed Xiao Chiye a chopstick, Xiao Chiye tasted it, Said, "Fine."

When Shen Zechuan was full, he put down the tableware and said, "What do you want to discuss with me?"

Xiao Chiye handed him the veil and said, "I checked Xiangyun earlier, and I missed something. Xue Xiuzhuo bought a group of people in Xiangyunfang a few years ago and kept them in the mansion. Do not know at all."

Shen Zechuan really changed his expression and said, "He is not a prostitute, and he rarely sees this kind of thing in the Ouhualou. This behavior is too abnormal."

"Yes, it's abnormal," Xiao Chiye leaned back in his chair, "I feel that the reason why Xiangyun bites me back is because of this."

"He bought someone a few years ago," Shen Zechuan gradually frowned, "If it really is to hold Xiangyun, then this move is too early."

"Why is Xiangyun being held because of this? Some pieces are played too early and may not stand up to the wear and tear of time. I think he did this not only to hold Xiangyun." Xiao Chiye sorted out the thread, "You design The assassination case is not something he can calculate in advance, so he must be unable to guard against the subsequent development."

Xiao Chiye was groping in this messy thread like weeds, his wolf-like intuition made him think that things would not be so simple.

"Improvisation," Shen Zechuan suddenly straightened Xiao Chiye's face and said, "You're right, this line of Xiangyun is not what he used to deal with you... Xiangyun's perjury that time was just his smooth sailing. He can follow suit like this. He happily throws Xiangyun out for use, which shows that Xiangyun is not important to him at all. He bought it for other reasons, and Xiangyun is just a pawn in this reason, or even a pawn he can't wait to throw away. "

"Then the key for him to buy people is..." Xiao Chi has a similar ambition.

"It's in the group of people he bought." Shen Zechuan said softly.

The two looked at each other, but fell into another unknown. Xiangyunfang is a brothel. Who would be important to Xue Xiuzhuo in the brothel

"He bought more than a dozen people in order to confuse people's eyes and make people unable to tell who he was buying. Xiangyun certainly doesn't know that." Xiao Chiye said, "I have to ask Xue Xiuyi to inquire about this matter. , he is in Xue's house, and he can come and go freely by virtue of his identity, Xue Xiuzhuo can stop outsiders, but he is determined not to stop him."

This news is really important, and Shen Zechuan couldn't figure it out for a while. He moved Xi Hongxuan this time because he was afraid of Xue Xiuzhuo who also held Xi Hongxuan. Instead of becoming clearer, the person became more and more blurred over time.

"... There's still time," Shen Zechuan seemed to be talking to himself, "Once you're in a hurry, you'll be chaotic, but it's easy to fall into a disadvantage. Since he hasn't moved yet, the time has not come, then you and I will have the opportunity. We are in the dark, he is in the light, and we will learn something important by following the vine... Xi Hongxuan and Xue Xiuzhuo have been friends all the year round. Even if he doesn't know about Xue Xiuzhuo's purchase of prostitutes, he will know some things that others don't. I will explore it later. Explore him."

"After talking for a while, I didn't give the second son a clue." Xiao Chiye didn't let him get off his body. "How much money did you deceive him?"

Shen Zechuan returned to his senses, slightly pursed his lips, and stretched out four fingers as they were.

Without saying a word, Xiao Chiye immediately clenched his fingertips and said, "Okay, it's worth it, hurry up and get hired."

Shen Zechuan said: "Let's be more reserved, four million is too little."

Xiao Chiye said, "It's lavish, and four million is the starting price? If you can make money like this, you'd be willing to be a second son."

Shen Zechuan was amused by him and said, "I told him that Wei Huaigu wanted four million taels of silver. He didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't show any embarrassment. This shows that four million is just a drop in the bucket for the Xi family."

Seeing that he was happy tonight, Xiao Chiye stopped talking about Xue Xiuzhuo, turned him upside down, and said, "Only they know how much money the Xi family has. Others can only see them digging copper from the salt mountain. Mines are traded not only in the north and south of the Yangtze River, but also as far as overseas. Ordinary gangsters play with top cards and play casinos, but Xi Hongxuan plays in brothels and casinos, and Donglongya is also his shop, which is involved in it. A lot of ministers in the DPRK and China, all of whom have fields and business in his hands, have to give him face. This time he asked for 4 million taels, how much is the preparation for the next one? The Northeast Grain and Horse Road only goes through twice a year. , how to hide and spend so much money is a matter, you have to think about it safely."

"The Xi family's treasury has never been broken, and money is the safest place to put it in it. No matter how much you spend it now, it can't escape the court's eyes. You should check the accounts of the 20,000 imperial soldiers three times. If the money is not spent beautifully, , the second son will have to be in jail pending trial."

Xiao Chiye was really curious, and said, "Are you spending money, it's just for fun... Are you going to leave this money to Zhongbo?"

"For the time being, there's nowhere to go," Shen Zechuan saw that it was almost time, and fastened the button with one hand, "Second Young Master is not at home, how do you know how valuable tea, rice, oil and salt are? There will be many places to spend money in the future, even if you can't spend it temporarily, keep it ready. There's no harm in doing anything, just in case."

The two of them gathered together like this to discuss other people's family assets, and their expressions were serious, it was clear that they had decided Xi Hongxuan. Xiao Chiye had to go back to the Kailing River. After a few words, he had to leave. He rushed to see him in the air, and he could no longer sit after he was full.

When Xiao Chiye got on his horse, he thought of something else, and he reined in the reins and said, "On the two days of Ducha, the cabinet of governors of the six states of China and Bo has already drawn up candidates, and the Jiangyi Qingshan in Juexi has been ordered to rush Come to Yedu to report on work, I guess it's probably him."

"I've heard the name for a long time, and I remember that he was very courageous in handling the disaster relief in the thirteen cities of Juexi six years ago." Shen Zechuan said here, and remembering that this person also had a good relationship with Xue Xiuzhuo, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Although he has a very good personal relationship with Xue Xiuzhuo, he is not necessarily one of Xue Xiuzhuo's people. When he enters the capital, you can meet him for a while. He is not a child of an aristocratic family, and he does not rely on an aristocratic family to enjoy the shade. Whether he can use it or not, the time will come. You decide for yourself." Xiao Chiye raised his hand and gestured when he saw Shen Zechuan standing on the steps.

Shen Zechuan listened, but Xiao Chiye didn't say anything, just rubbed his hair with his palm. Lang Taoxue galloped, Ge Qingqing pushed open the door, and Xiao Chiye entered the night.
