However, seeing Chu Chuyan and his party coming, Xie Yi's face suddenly turned into a smile: "Niece, I just came back and heard that you came to me, and I thought I missed it, and I was annoyed." ”

Zu An'an thought that these guys were more yin than the other, obviously they had been at home all the time, and they deliberately disappeared before, but now they pretended to be fine.

Chu Chuyan was obviously used to seeing this kind of thing, so he didn't show it at all, and said with a shallow smile: "Chuyan has seen Uncle Xie." ”

"Hey, this uncle is a little difficult to be," Xie Yi sighed, the other party did not call him the city lord, but called him uncle, obviously wanting to use the friendship of the two families to talk about things, "Niece, I can roughly guess the intention of your visit today, but the fact that your Chu family committed this time is too big." ”

"I remember that you have always been very calm, this time Zhongtian was confused, why are you also confused. ”

Chu Chuyan said melancholy: "Many things are easy to say, but difficult to do, these years of illegal salt overflow, coupled with other expenses, the Chu family has long been unable to make ends meet, plus the salt has been robbed, we can't do anything." What's more, it has long become an unwritten unspoken rule that everyone has been operating like this for so many years, how do you know that Sang Taishou is suddenly like this...... That's true. ”

Anyone who is engaged in the salt business will inevitably encounter a situation where the salt is not enough, and if the tax payment law stipulated by the imperial court is followed, the cost of salt merchants will increase exponentially, and the common people will not be able to afford to eat salt.

Therefore, each family gradually formed a tacit understanding, if this situation is encountered, a little bit of the advance bank to make an appearance, most of them do not pay that money.

Because the salt transport envoy is very good, the relationship between the Chu family has always been very good, so with Chu Zhongtian in charge, everyone has been safe and sound, how can I know that Sang Hong is here.

"Although this is an unspoken rule, after all, it conflicts with the laws of the imperial court, and people can't do anything about it. Xie Yi sighed.

Chu Chuyan said in a deep voice: "We also know that this matter is a little troublesome, so we came to ask Uncle Xie for help." ”

Xie Yi smiled bitterly: "My niece should know that I am just a city lord, Sang Taishou is my top boss, and I still came with the emperor's order, and I don't have the ability to help if I want to." ”

Chu Chu's face was frosty, and the whole person fell into silence.

Xie Yi continued: "Although I don't have that ability, someone should be able to help the Chu family. ”

Chu Chuyan was silent, Xie Yi was smiling, and the atmosphere in the whole room became a little strange.

Zu An was confused, what kind of dumb riddle did the two play: "Who?"

Xie Yi didn't explain: "The niece should be clear. ”

Chu Chuyan

Finally spoke: "Uncle Shi, you should know the principles that our Chu family has always had. ”

Xie Yi glanced at her meaningfully: "Many times, if you want to be neutral, it is so easy, and you often have to pay a huge price. ”

Chu Chuyan got up and said, "There are many disturbances today, and I hope Uncle Shi will not be surprised." ”

Xie Yi hurriedly got up and stayed: "You kid, why do you just talk and leave." ”

"Well, since you're not an outsider, I'll have something to say," Xie Yi paused, as if trying to figure out how to phrase it, "I don't advise you to completely fall in favor of that one, but if you are willing to hand over something, someone will naturally help you settle all this now." ”

Chu Chuyan's face changed, and after a long time, he said, "I need to go back and think about this." ”

"Naturally, it should be, and you can discuss it with your family, after all, it's not a trivial matter. Seeing that she didn't refuse on the spot, Xie Yi's eyes lit up.

When the two of them left the Xie family, Zu An couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "What is the city lord Xie talking about?"

From the conversation between the two, he had already understood that Xie Yi was persuading the Chu family to fall to the King of Qi at the beginning, but after being rejected by Chu Chuyan, he put forward another condition.

He couldn't think of anything about it.

Chu Chu's face showed hesitation, but he still said: "Azu, you are not an outsider anymore, there are some things that should be known to you, what City Lord Xie said is an account book......

Then he told him the ins and outs of the account books.

Zu An's heart was furious when he heard this: "Then didn't Xie Yi take advantage of the fire to rob!"

He suddenly thought of the account book that Pei Mianman asked him to find before, and told him that he was the transaction situation of the Chu family and various forces in the weapons, salt and iron business, and now that she thinks about it, she shouldn't be telling me the truth.

Hey, this world is really terrible, on the surface she is still Chu Chuyan's best friend, but secretly she thinks that it is something that kills the other party.

He felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of this, but after thinking about it, although Pei Mianman was a little hypocritical to the Chu family, he was really good to himself.

For a while, he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Chu Chuyan sighed: "Now that people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, what can people do to rob while they are hot." ”

Zu An came back to his senses: "You don't really plan to give him the ledger, do you?"

"Of course not, just to make everyone's face less ugly. Chu Chuyan replied.

Zu An couldn't help but say: "Actually, I don't understand a little, you have such a big killing weapon in your hands, why don't you make good use of it?"

"Utilization?" Chu Chuyan was stunned, "How to utilize?"

Zaun said, "This thing is completely nuclear-weapon-like...... Well, you don't care what nuclear weapons are, I mean so many important officials have the control in your hands, you can use them to blackmail them. ”

"But in this way, everyone will completely tear their faces. Chu Chuyan frowned.

"Now that the Chu family is going to be finished, do you still care about these?" Zu An said.

"But originally we had a good relationship, maybe everyone will secretly help each other in the old friendship, if they are completely provoked, what if they stand by and watch?" Chu Chuyan said worriedly.

"You're concerned about it," Zu An said, "Then let me ask you, the Chu family has been in trouble for so long, and who of those people has helped." ”

Chu Chuyan opened his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Zu An sighed: "If I were those people, I would like your Chu family to be finished as soon as possible, so that no one will have their handle, how do you think these people can come to the rescue." ”

"No wonder ......" Chu Chuyan is not a stupid person, but he was in the game before, and he was confused, but now he was awakened and immediately reacted, "Then what should we do?"

"Go directly to those people and threaten that if they don't care, everyone will die together!" Zu An said, "According to what you said, those people have been dispersed to various departments of the imperial court, and that is definitely an extremely large force. ”

"The reason why the Chu family has had accidents one after another during this period of time is, in the final analysis, because Sang Qian is dealing with you in secret. ”

"Even if the matter of the salt advance is solved this time, next time Sang Hong will find another thing to deal with the Chu family, there will always be a time when it can't be prevented. ”

"Therefore, to fundamentally solve the problem, not only to resolve the crisis of the Chu family this time, but also to completely solve Sang Hong. If you describe it correctly, those people in the ledger definitely have the ability to help you solve Sang Hong's trouble. But only if you force them!"

Chu Chuyan pondered for a long time, and finally his eyes became firm: "Okay, I'm going to the capital, those people were so greedy back then, the Chu family has been wiping their butts for them all these years, and they should also do something for the Chu family!"
