Chengying and Yingshi were waiting outside, while Sima Yue and Wang Jun followed the shopkeeper into the private room inside.

As soon as he walked into the private room and closed the door, the shopkeeper immediately changed his expression, turned to Wang Jun and bowed, and then respectfully called the patriarch.

Wang Jun only hummed lightly, pulled Sima Yue to sit down on the chair next to the table, and then stretched out his hand to signal the shopkeeper to sit down.

The shopkeeper said again and again that he didn't dare, but he just stood aside with his hands down, and said respectfully: "I don't know if the patriarch is here, I didn't go to greet him in advance, it's mine, and I hope that the patriarch Haihan." ”

"It's okay," Wang Jun said lightly, "I didn't want people to know about my coming to Luochuan County. ”

As soon as he heard Wang Jun say this, he immediately knew that Wang Jun must have something to do when he came to Luochuan County, but he didn't dare to ask rashly, so he just stepped forward, picked up the teapot on the table, turned over the two teacups that were originally covered, poured two cups of tea, and put them in the hands of Wang Jun and Sima Yue.

Sima Yue took the teacup with both hands and took a sip.

The tea is silver needle tea, the color is as white as silver, slender as a needle, and the tea is in the mouth, full of sweetness.

After driving for such a long time, Sima Yue was indeed thirsty, so in the end, he simply drank half a cup of tea in one go. Finally, when she put down the teacup, she heard that Wang Jun was already asking the shopkeeper about Luochuan County.

This kind of walk into a shop, take out a jade pendant, and then suddenly the shopkeeper took it in ceremoniously, and respectfully called the patriarch Sima Yue It is not the first time I have seen it.

She was shocked a few times at first, but then she calmed down.

Therefore, the industry of the Taiyuan Wang clan is all over the world, and it turns out that it is really not just talking. It is no exaggeration to say that wherever there are people, there will definitely be an industry of the Wang family.

Wang Jun happened to ask about Wang Liu's affairs at this time, and Sima Yue only knew at this time that this Wang Liu's was also a member of the Taiyuan Wang family.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard Wang Jun ask about Wang Liu, even though the door of this private room was tightly closed, his voice was still much quieter than just now, and he looked around cautiously before saying that, and when he saw Sima Yue, he heard Wang Jun say: "It's okay." She's not an outsider, she's my wife. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately became awe-inspiring at Sima Yue's expression.

The wife of the patriarch, that is the wife of the patriarch. A few days ago, I heard that the patriarch made a big fuss about Fufeng County for a woman, and he did not hesitate to dispatch thousands of iron horsemen from his family.

For a while, the shopkeeper also used the honorific title of Sima Yue to address you, and Sima Yue, who only shouted, was very embarrassed, hanging his head and just drinking tea.

Only then did the shopkeeper face Wang Jun and said, "Patriarch Hui, in fact, Wang Juncheng is not dead. ”

At this moment, it was not only Sima Yue, but even Wang Jun also looked up.

"Since Wang Juncheng came to Luochuan County, he has had many secret contacts with the old man. According to him, Cui Ying was very wary of him, and he was not allowed to interfere in any matter in the county, but Wang Juncheng still investigated secretly. Originally, Emperor Qingyuan had a decree that the annual mining amount of hibiscus stone had been set, and the Taishou of Luochuan County had also strictly implemented this mining amount over the years. It's just that since Cui Ying became the Taishou of Luochuan County, he ordered a large-scale mining of hibiscus stone, and in the past few years, it has almost been mined completely. “

Regarding Emperor Qingyuan's regulations, Sima Yue expressed his understanding.

Hibiscus stone, a stone born from the aura of heaven and earth, must be non-renewable, and if one is mined, there will be one less, and if the amount mined in a short period of time is too large, all of them will flow into the market, then this hibiscus stone will still be worthless. If you specify how much you can only mine each year, so that you can leave some of these resources for future generations, and secondly, it is precisely because the quantity is small and the odd goods can be lived in, so the market will sell for such a high price.

It's just that since Emperor Qingyuan made such a will, why did Cui Ying ignore this will in vain and exploit wildly? What did he want to do with so much hibiscus stone?

"Oh?" Wang Jun's index finger curled up, tapped lightly twice on the tabletop, and asked, "Cui Ying actually ordered so many hibiscus stones to be mined?" But according to today, the tax revenue of the hibiscus stone in Luochuan County has not only not increased over the years, but has declined, where did Cui Ying go with the income from these hibiscus stones? Fill your pocket? “

The shopkeeper shook his head: "The old man also thought so at first, but according to Wang Juncheng, it is obviously not the case." ”

In fact, Wang Jun had already vaguely guessed in his heart where the income from these hibiscus stones went.

Cui Hao's ambition is not unaware of him, the open and secret struggle between Sima Yuan and Empress Cui has not stopped over the years, originally he didn't want to pay too much attention to these court and court matters, but now he has been involved in it, and he has to pay attention to it.

In the last incident of Fufeng County, the tens of thousands of soldiers were done by Cui Qun on the surface, but in fact, it must have been done by Cui Hao later. Since there is this hidden army, there will definitely be a second and a third, but Emperor Qinglong has not yet found out.

The army already exists, so where does the military spending come from? As far as Wang Jun knew, the financial resources of the Boling Cui clan alone could not support it, so he must have to think of other ways to make money. And Cui Ying is also a member of the Boling Cui clan......

Then everything is obvious. Over the years, Cui Ying has made a huge amount of profits from mining hibiscus stones, and must have been secretly delivered to Cui Hao. It's just that these are just speculations, and they still need evidence.

"Where is Wang Liu?" After Wang Jun pondered for a while, he raised his eyes and asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and then slowly shook his head: "Old and incompetent." On that day, Wang Juncheng was poisoned by Cui Ying, and then fled to Lao Yu, although Lao Yu secretly sent someone to remove the poison from his body and saved his life, but then Cui Ying kept sending people to search the city, Lao Yu couldn't, so he wanted to send Wang Juncheng out of Luochuan County secretly, but he didn't want Cui Ying to send someone to secretly guard the city gate everywhere, even if it was difficult for a bird to fly out. But if Wang Juncheng continues to stay here, sooner or later he will inevitably be noticed by Cui Ying, so Wang Juncheng will leave on his own, and what his whereabouts are now, but the old man does not know. ”

Hearing this, Wang Jun pondered for a moment before saying lightly, "I know." ”

After a while, Wang Jun took Sima Yue's hand and walked out of this shop, Sima Yue's hand was naturally the pink hibiscus stone, but Wang Jun's hand was another piece.

First, when Sima Yue said that he wanted to buy this pink hibiscus stone, the shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to accept the cash, and then he took out a hibiscus stone with a relatively small size, saying that this was the treasure of their store.

This hibiscus stone is placed in a fine rosewood box, and the lid is carved with various auspicious patterns. When the shopkeeper cautiously opened the lid of the red sandalwood box, Sima Yue then looked over.

This view is naturally very amazing.

I saw that this hibiscus stone was three hibiscus on a plant, and the stones at the bottom were clear, and the green leaves on it were faint, and even the veins on the leaf surface were clearly and delicately carved. And the three hibiscus on the top are still different colors, one is light pink, one is light yellow, and one is tea white. According to the shopkeeper, it seems to be fine in the daytime, but if it is placed in a dark place at night, this hibiscus stone will emit a faint brilliance, which is clearly visible, just like a night pearl.

Sima Yue immediately waved her hand, how dare she ask for such a valuable thing? It's not that she can't afford it, it's mainly that even if she wants to give money, this shopkeeper will definitely not accept it. That's just the pink hibiscus stone, although it's just that, but seeing that there are a lot of them in his store, it won't be too expensive to think about it, but this night pearl-like hibiscus stone, the treasure of the town store, the price can be imagined, so even if she likes it, it's still not good.

It's just that the shopkeeper still insisted that she accept it, saying that it was a congratulatory gift he gave when she married the patriarch on the other day.

In the end, Wang Jun accepted it.

When he took the hibiscus stone, he said: "On the wedding day of me and Yue'er, you can come to Taiyuan to drink a glass of our wedding wine." ”

The shopkeeper's face immediately looked overjoyed.

Like him, how many people from the Wang clan are scattered all over Great Xia? But how many people can go to the patriarch's wedding? To get this honor, not to mention that it is just this hibiscus stone, he is willing to give up this shop.

Finally, under the smiling eyes of the shopkeeper, Sima Yue and Wang Jun walked out of the door of the store, and after a casual stroll on the road, they found an inn and stayed.

Placing these two hibiscus stones side by side on the table, Sima Yue only felt that the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

How can there be such a stone in the world? It turned out to be the appearance of a hibiscus, just remove the gravel around it, and immediately a hibiscus stood there.

Wang Jun also sat on the side and watched together, and then pointed to the night pearl hibiscus stone and proposed to Sima Yue: "This hibiscus stone can be placed in our wedding room." When we act in the evening, we blow out the candles, and there is such a soft light in the room, looking at Yue'er must be more charming and moving. ”

Sima Yue: ......

Please, can you always stop saying such obscene things with such a serious expression and tone?

Sima Yue's pretty face turned red, don't turn her face, just ignore him.

Wang Jun saw her cheeks red, her lips pursed lightly, only indescribably delicate and moving, for a while, his heart fluttered, but he walked over and held her in his arms regardless of her struggle, and kissed her carefully.

Between him and Sima Yue, the first time it was in that situation, in retrospect, only his own monstrous anger and Sima Yue's pain, now that I think about it, I still regret it, and I hate myself deeply. It wasn't until a few days ago that the two of them were really blended and blended, and they knew the fun, so they naturally knew the taste of the marrow, and they were extremely greedy, and they couldn't wait to fly every day. It's just annoying that there are still a lot of unresolved things.

Thinking about this, Wang Jun was inevitably a little impatient.

He had to solve the matter of Luochuan County as soon as possible, and then returned to the capital with Sima Yue, and after everything was settled, he resigned from the post of prince and concubine, married Sima Yue, and went to the paradise Peach Blossom Island hand in hand.

The idea was certain, so Wang Jun thought about how to find Wang Liu as soon as possible.

Wang Liu has all the evidence of Cui Ying and Cui Hao's crimes. It's just that now I don't know where Wang Liu's is.

Although Luochuan County is not the biggest, if Wang Liu has the intention to hide, it will not be able to be found in a while.

Wang Jun twisted a pair of long eyebrows, but after a while, his long eyebrows stretched again.

Since the mountain can't come, let him go.
