The wrath of the horseman, the blood spattered five steps, and the wrath of the emperor, the blood flowed and the pestle.

The emperor in the Qianqing Palace was furious because he realized that he had been fooled, and as the protagonist of the whole thing, he was chewing on the case in the Sihai Building, which was so uncomfortable.

For most of the past six months, he has been wandering around the grassland desert, eating mostly mutton and beef all day long, and the fishy smell makes Su Mo feel that he is about to eat sheep.

After I came back yesterday, I was busy drinking with my brothers and friends, and I drank a lot of wine, but I didn't eat much food. Today's meal can be regarded as a real and peaceful meal.

Zhang Yue, who was accompanying him next to him, looked at the sweetness of his food, and was embarrassed to interrupt, so he could only wait patiently.

After waiting for him to finally put down his chopsticks, he leaned back comfortably, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and then got up and poured him a cup of tea, shook his head and said, "Brother, how long have you been hungry? ”

Su Mo's teeth flickering stiffened, his face showed a sad look, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Yue hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Come on, brother, you can take the supernatural powers, the little brother is not stupid." ”

He really knows this master too well now, and he knows at a glance that this is going to be fooled again, how can he let him continue to perform, and immediately end it for him.

The sad look on Su Mo's face dissipated, and he pursed his lips and muttered, "It's boring, Brother Yue, you have changed, and you are not kind at all." What about my old brother who was innocent? Give it back to me. ”

Zhang Yue covered his face and sighed: "Okay, you can do it." I said, "Can we talk well?"

Su Mo shrugged, "Say, I'll listen." ”

Zhang Yue smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's not me who said, it's what you say." Didn't you say that you wanted to make a fortune with us? What kind of charter? Also, why did you suddenly think about making money, and our government wouldn't be so down-and-out that you would come out to make money. ”

Su Mo threw away the toothpick, and said, "You don't understand, brother, I'm short of money now, I'm very short of money!" As he spoke, he sighed, shook his head and sighed: "If it's not cheap, if it's not cheap...... Count, don't mention it. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have gone to the northwest, if he hadn't gone to the northwest, he wouldn't have been forced to go to the grassland, and if he hadn't been forced to go to the grassland, he wouldn't have ........"

Stop! Zhang Yueting's face turned green. This Nima Shaanxi flavor has come out, can you be a little more fake?

"Okay, okay, I'm really short of money. As for the house, hehe, not to mention that I can't always rely on your father to provide for me. Even if it's what I'm going to do, your father's little money is really not enough. Su Mo spread his hands and said seriously.

Zhang Yue was stunned, "What are you going to do here, I can't afford to support the British government?"

Is Su Mo really short of money? The answer is that he really doesn't. Although what I said just now was a trick, it was also true. The cause of the incident is not something else, but the Mingmeng covenant signed because of him.

At that time, he was also impulsive and made a treaty between the two sides to carry out mutual markets. patted his chest and assured Yu Mian that he would rely on this treaty to help the Mongols. Now, he's going to have to pay for that agreement.

Don't look at his joy in the past two days, but the mission will return in two days. It also means that he, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Mission, must go to the emperor to deliver the emperor's order. And if he was not prepared at all, it would be strange that the contract he signed should not be impeached into a sieve by the ministers.

But in order to achieve the goal he promised, money, a lot of money is the necessary foundation. And since we are ready to launch that strategy, we can't just do that, and by the way, reopening the Silk Road is the big goal.

So when he said he needed money, he wasn't exaggerating. It's just the specific details, but it's not good to tell Zhang Yue more. After all, there are also problems at the national level involved, except for the unavoidable emperor, the less people know about it, the more insurance it is, otherwise it will be unlucky.

Zhang Yue saw that he was vague, so he didn't ask more. In his mind, this brother has a lot of nerves, this is a sudden wind and rain, and he has to toss, there is always the British government behind the support, nothing big happens.

was chatting and eating, and the stairs below sounded, and Sun Sihai walked up sweating profusely. After seeing the two of them salute, he sat down and poured two large glasses of water first, and then reported the progress to Su Mo.

He got Su Mo's arrangement yesterday, and he got up early this morning and started to work, and it was only at this time that he was about to finish it.

"....... Gongzi's house has been found, it is five miles outside Dongzhi Gate, next to Baiyun Mountain. There is a large forest behind the courtyard of the senior major, which was originally owned by an official of the household department. Later, something happened, and then I was free. It's just that the asking price over there is too high, and secondly, after all, the main family is depressed and has a bad reputation, so it hasn't been able to be redeemed......."

Sun Sihai introduced in detail. Su Mo's request is really hard to find, it should be more secluded, not too far from the city, and it is better to have an open field.......

In this capital, where every inch of land is valuable, how can it be so easy to ask for such a request as he has? Perhaps if one of the conditions is met, one or two places can be exchanged. But if you want to be satisfied, not to mention whether there is or not, even if you have it, it is definitely sky-high.

But there is no way, you must know that Su Mo is not all people around him, and there are a few strangers. That's all it takes for the flying squirrel Duoduo and the golden armor, these two are negligible in size. But the big-tailed bear dumplings and the wolf king sun are not easy to place.

The British government is big enough, and the fight is still in the city after all. In this densely populated place, a few wolf howls and bear roars are heard from time to time, knowing that the British government has pets, and what I don't know is that the British government has been converted into a zoo.

Therefore, in order to find such a suitable place, Sun Sihai's legs were thin. Fortunately, he has been operating in Beijing for many years and has a wide range of people, so he found such a courtyard and reluctantly agreed with Su Mo's request.

"The asking price is too high, what kind of high law, is there any other difficulty?" Su Mo listened quietly, and keenly grasped Sun Sihai's look of embarrassment when he talked about this house, and immediately interrupted him and asked lightly.

Sun Sihai was stunned and hesitated slightly, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Childe, in fact, the price is nothing." It's just that the current owner of this house is really not easy to deal with ........ ”

Su Mo frowned slightly, and glanced at Zhang Yue. Sun Sihai obviously knew that it was the British Duke standing behind him, and under such a hard backing, he could still make him say things that were not easy to deal with, which shows that the other party's background is not simple.

Sure enough, under Su Mo's signal, Sun Sihai finally sighed and told the other party's origin.

"Now it's the Zhang family's property. Of course, the main family lost this family property because they provoked the Zhang family, and they calculated it......."

Su Mo's heart moved, and he asked quietly, "Which Zhang family?"

Sun Sihai hesitated and said: "It's the Zhang family you know, Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, the uncle of Jianchang. This house is now under the name of Jian Changbo. ”

"They......" Su Mo nodded, and said with a slight groan, "Then what price do they want?

Sun Sihai smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "They ...... The asking price is 80,000 taels. ”

"What?!" As soon as this price came out, Su Mo didn't think much, but Zhang Yue squirted out a mouthful of tea, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Eighty thousand taels?!Why don't they grab them? Two pickled goods, poor and crazy!" Zhang Yue angrily slammed the tea cup on the table, and scolded angrily.

Eighty thousand taels, Nima, in this era, eight taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for two or three months. This house is only 80,000 taels when you open your mouth, but it is not a sky-high price? Even if it is the best location in the inner city, it is only 350,000 taels is enough. The courtyard of this outer city in Nima is asking for 80,000 taels, which is really a lion's mouth, and Zhang Yue can't help but be angry.

Su Mo also frowned a little, but he didn't get angry, squinted his eyes and muttered for a while, and then said to Sun Sihai, who looked sneering: "You didn't mention to them the relationship between the old lady of Wuqing Zhang?"

Sun Sihai smiled bitterly: "I mentioned it, people said that it was because of the previous contacts that this price was given." Otherwise, it will not be sold if it is less than 100,000 taels. ”

Su Mo's eyes shrank slightly, thoughtful.

Zhang Yue took the case and said angrily: "Two insatiable thieves, the extortion of bamboo has hit our heads." Take me there, and I will see if their house is made of gold or silver. Others are afraid of the two of them scoundrels, but the master is not afraid of him. The queen is noble, but our British Mansion is not muddy!"

Sun Sihai was sweating profusely and was speechless in embarrassment. The first time he did things for Su Mo in the real sense, he encountered such a stubble, which made him feel bitter and helpless. As for saying that Zhang Yue is going to find a place, every day, he is sandwiched between such two great gods, so he doesn't want his old life to go?

Su Mo smiled, reached out and pressed Zhang Yue, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled that he would not be impatient. He turned to Sun Sihai and said, "What else did they say, there must be more than that." ”

Sun Sihai was suffocated, and said with a wry smile: "Gongzi Mingjian, they said that this price is not unacceptable." But ......."

Su Mo frowned, and said indifferently: "But what?"

Sun Sihai gritted his teeth and said, "They said that I heard that Gongzi has a few good deals in his hands, and if Gongzi can come up with it and everyone cooperates, the price of this house can be discussed again." ”

Good dealing? Cooperation?

Su Mo completely understood when he heard this, and he obviously took a fancy to a few of his projects on Wuqing's side. It's just that the talk of cooperation is just talking nonsense with an open eye, and the so-called cooperation is just a fig leaf for conspiracy.

This kind of thing, in later generations, Su Mo has seen it more than once in the plots of some novels. But he never thought that in this Ming time and space, he would actually experience it himself.

He didn't speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers tapped lightly on the table a few times, and he suddenly smiled, and said angrily: "Okay, you can help me make an appointment with them." ”

"Brother!" Zhang Yuehuo stood up next to him and shouted, his face flushed red. The two relatives of the royal family are just from the queen's side, I'm afraid that they will be hanging? Don't talk about them, they are real royal family members like Zhu Yangzhu, don't you also say that you will be beaten up? How can you coax the two scoundrels now?

"Don't worry, don't worry. In business, you always have to meet and then talk slowly. Su Mo pressed him down again, and the old god said.
