Chapter 52: Please Enter the Urn
Zhu Wei remembered that last year, there was a wealthy businessman from Jincheng who was killed by Jing Beifeng because he refused to donate more money and grain. The reason why I remember it is because he also participated in the Hongmen banquet as Ji Rui's personal guard at that time.
Jing Beifeng's move was to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and to make a lot of money in the name of national righteousness. Although Ji Rui is the current uncle, he has to donate a considerable amount, and he still has grievances in his heart.
And he himself was despised by Ji Rui because of his defeat in the competition with Yan Xishan, and was assigned here to be a small captain of the city guard.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wei couldn't help but sigh: "The world is so difficult, little brother, you don't have to worry too much, now the troubled times are one for survival, the other is for wealth, only these two are true." ”
Chu Feiyan said gratefully: "Your Excellency is right, we are here for this matter this time. ”
After saying that, he gave Wang Ye a color, Wang Ye shook the package on his back, and laid out a table of ice stones.
Zhu Wei was shocked and jumped up from his seat: "This... This..."
"How is it possible! These are enough for a million army to pay for a year's worth of food and grass! Ice Rough Stones have always been rare, not to mention superb, I am afraid that there may not be a few pieces in the whole country. Where the hell did you get all this from?"
Zhu Wei couldn't believe it, rubbed his eyes, and wondered if it was an illusion.
Wang Ye smiled mysteriously, patted the burden on his waist, and said, "Don't hide it from your lord, we still have a lot of such ice stones!"
"What!"
Zhu Wei gasped, stared at the two of them directly, and said for a long time: "Anyway, what is your purpose?"
Chu Feiyan saw that the time was almost there, and whispered to Zhu Wei, only to see that the latter's face became more and more shocked, and gradually overflowed with irrepressible joy. In the end, he nodded excitedly at Chu Feiyan, and quickly left with a table full of ice stones.
"It's done!" Wang Ye smiled.
"Let's wait in peace. Chu Feiyan looked very tired, the so-called Ice Plain Stone was actually created by him using the Imperial Tilt Decision and the Origin Cold Qi in his body, and it was really not light.
"How can you be sure that he will believe us?" Wang Ye was still a little puzzled.
"At the moment of heavy profit, no one can remain calm, even if he knows that we are pretending, I think with Ji Rui's arrogant and greedy nature, as long as it is not a major matter related to the foundation of the country, he can ignore it. What's more, what I just said is true, and I was also present when Zheng Feng was killed last year. ”
"I hope so, you have a good rest first, and I'll keep an eye on it. ”
Wang Ye pushed open the window of the attic, looking at the bustling street outside, compared to the fact that last year's Hengshui City was still a comfortable scene, but now it has long been empty, decaying, and his face can't help but gradually change. Secret way: Whoever destroys my homeland, I will punish him!
Wang Ye leaned sideways against the window, his right thumb habitually rubbing the mustache at the corner of his lips, watching everything outside. After about an hour, Dan saw that his eyes lit up, and he turned his head and smiled: "The stone throwing has been completed, and the next step is to invite you into the pit!"
After a while, Zhu Wei stood in front of the two of them, couldn't suppress his excited look, and said, "The king of Zhenbei is invited!"
Speaking of which, Ji Rui's title of the king of Zhenbei is just a false name, and he doesn't have much real power. It's just because Ji Rui's sister is a favorite concubine of Xuantian Ming, and she can't stand her soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she made him a cheap prince.
But Ji Rui himself is extremely useful, thinking that he is a relative of the emperor from now on, superior to others. Except for a few members of the royal family, no one paid attention to it.
And after being put on the spot by Jing Beifeng last year, he went to Xuantian Ming to complain, but the Emperor Chiyan just laughed at it, and then he realized that his weight was not enough. was ashamed and annoyed, so he always wanted to do something big to impress Xuantian Ming, and by the way, suppress and suppress Jing Beifeng's arrogance.
It's a pity that there are no good ministers and fierce generals around him, most of them are flattering and flattering, drinking and having fun, and playing in the mountains and rivers are full of tricks, but when it comes to business, it is useless. even persuaded himself to have a good relationship with Jing Beifeng, which made him hold his breath, but he was helpless.
It wasn't until Zhu Wei asked to see him that the news brought him was in high spirits. At this moment, he was a little anxious pacing in the study, eager to meet the two of them.
Chu Feiyan and Wang Ye were led by Zhu Wei all the way, quietly went around the palace, and quickly came to the Mingxuan Pavilion where Zhu Wei was.
"Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and report to the prince. ”
Wang Ye looked around and exclaimed in his heart: this place is really luxurious, the pine branches and leaves on both sides of the entrance are wrapped with luminous gold threads, the white jade and blue bricks are paved all the way to the end, and the tables and stools in the courtyard are not extraordinary.
The man-made lake, which is no less than 100 feet long and wide, is also stocked with all kinds of rare birds. Not to mention how brilliant the Mingxuan in front of him is.
Wang Ye couldn't help muttering, "Will this guy still be short of money?"
Chu Feiyan raised the corners of his mouth and sneered: "How can there be no shortage?"
After a while, the two waited for Ji Rui's summons.
Entering the study, the two immediately bowed to each other, and then bowed their heads respectfully and waited for Ji Rui's inquiry.
Ji Rui briefly examined the two of them and said, "You still know some etiquette, get up and talk." ”
Chu Feiyan and Wang Ye got up and raised their heads at this time, only glanced at it, and Wang Ye almost didn't laugh out loud. I saw this Ji Rui, with a short figure, a fat brain and a round belly, and his chin was almost invisible to his neck, but he was wearing a high crown and a wide dress, like a king who only wore a turtle shell.
Chu Feiyan was also stunned: It's just that after more than half a year, this guy has gained weight several times.
Ji Rui hated others for looking down on his appearance the most, and snorted coldly, Zhu Wei looked at the two of them again and again when he saw this.
Chu Feiyan coughed dryly: "People say that wealth has its own celestial phenomena, and the prince is really extraordinary, and the villain must be right to come to the prince." ”
"You're a good little citizen. Ji Rui laughed, "But let's get down to business first, if there is a deception, you know what the end is!"
Chu Feiyan's expression was solemn, and he looked left and right alertly: "Dare to ask the prince, how many loyal and reliable people can there be like Lord Zhu?"
Seeing the mystery he said, Ji Rui wondered, "Why do you ask this?"
"Presumably, the prince has already seen the Ice Stone. ”
"Of course, that's why the king summoned you on an exceptional basis. ”
Chu Feiyan lowered his voice and said: "But what the prince doesn't know is that what we have discovered is far more than that, it is an earth-shattering wealth, as long as anyone reveals the news, then we can only return empty-handed!"
Ji Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Earth-shattering wealth?"
Wang Ye said on the side: "The place where the treasure is located is the Heavenly Forsaken Mountain Range, my son-in-law has never liked rude and rude generals, such as Najing..."
Chu Feiyan's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly shouted, "Don't shut up yet!"
Ji Rui's thick neck turned with difficulty, and his face suddenly showed a playful look, and then said in a deep voice: "Go on!"
