Chapter 10 Entrustment

Upper East Square is the most lively and prosperous place in the whole Pingjing, with many shops, merchants gathered, orderly market, people and vehicles passing through, and buying and selling day and night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As a newly opened teahouse, Shicuixuan's business is a little deserted, and only three or five scholars sit in the hall to drink tea and talk, which is incompatible with the bustling hustle and bustle outside the door.

It's strange to say, Shicuixuan is obviously open in the most prosperous Luoyi Street in the Upper East Fang, and the location is in the upper position of the river, next to the reddest Qinglou Fuyue Pavilion on the left, and the largest gambling house on the right. But the business of Shicuixuan, which is sandwiched in the middle, is deserted and the flow of people is thin. It stands to reason that the shopkeeper should reflect on it, either reduce the price to welcome customers or do some activities to attract guests, but the shopkeeper is not in a hurry at all, only knows that the daily visitors collect money, and as long as it is dark every day, the door will be closed immediately. The owners of the surrounding shops shook their heads when they mentioned this, and concluded that this Shicuixuan would definitely close after only three months of opening. Someone in the Dianjin Terrace next door even started a game, betting on when this depressed teahouse will close. But this Shicuixuan has been operating so bleakly, tepidly.

At this moment, in the private room on the third floor of Shicuixuan, a man in red who exuded a lazy and bewitching temperament was critically looking at the young man in white who was sitting on the opposite side: "Tsk, I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you getting more and more feminine." ”

The young man in white didn't move his eyebrows, and took a sip of fragrant tea, and a faint mist rose to blur his eyes. He put down the teacup, looked up at the man in red, and said gently, "Senior brother, you didn't come from afar to ask me this, right?" ”

The man in red frowned, and said unhappily: "Sima Ji, don't call me senior brother!" I've long since severed ties with the Huaixiao faction. Don't blame me again! There was a deep warning in his tone.

Sima Ji smiled bitterly and said apologetically: "Okay, I was negligent, Brother Wenjie." "This man in red is Yang Wenjie of Wuxi.

Yang Wenjie softened his face, leaned forward, supported his chin with his hand, and looked at him with a pair of phoenix eyes full of inquiry: "Say, why did you let me let out the wind and ask to marry the princess?" ”

Sima Ji had a smile in his eyes, but his mouth was serious: "Naturally, I want to achieve a good marriage for Brother Wenjie." "I kept playing with the jade wrench on my thumb, this wrench was light throughout, delicate and delicate, bright and bright green, and it looked extremely noble and exquisite, and it was not ordinary at a glance.

Yang Wenjie rolled his eyes, leaned back in the wide yellow rosewood carved chair, and teased him: "Come on, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do and has nothing to do to worry about marriage for me, who believes it!" Tell me, what's happened to you again? The tone was very familiar, and I felt that this little fox didn't know what to do to him!

Steward Xu, who was standing in the corner, took a step forward and bowed when he heard this: "Shizi, this is a busy market, and the words 'His Royal Highness the Prince' are absolutely unspeakable, and it wouldn't be bad if the wall had ears." ”

Sima Ji waved his hand lightly, "It's okay, this is my private property, I know it in my heart, don't be too nervous." Brother Wenjie and I are also fatal friends, you can step down. Steward Xu immediately agreed to retreat.

Yang Wenjie's face was three points better, he picked up the fragrant tea in front of him, and his face became very strange as soon as he took a sip, he couldn't vomit and couldn't swallow it. Seeing this, Sima Ji immediately handed over an empty teacup, Yang Wenjie spit it out without hesitation, and then opened his mouth to count: "Xuan Lang, what is this, you can even drink it!" ”

Sima Ji heard that he had changed his title to his own words, smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Brother Wenjie doesn't know, I, the prince, really deserve to be in name only." As he spoke, his face darkened.

Yang Wenjie put down the teacup in his hand, and his face became serious: "But the queen's slut is embarrassing you again?" ”

Sima Ji shook his head lightly, and his expression darkened: "Although the queen has been making small movements, but the fifth emperor brother is still young, she doesn't dare to act rashly, so she doesn't have to worry about it for the time being," he frowned, "I received a tip a few days ago, Prince Yan and Wei Nianqing secretly met in Yecheng in Puyu under everyone's eyes and ears, and stayed for three days. Immediately after that, his son Yan Zidong sent three secret letters to Liang County in a row, which were discovered by my people in time and intercepted, Brother Wenjie, please take a look. He put his hand into his underwear, took out the letter he had kept close to him, and handed it to Yang Wenjie.

Yang Wenjie took the letter and looked at it carefully, his body gradually sat upright, his face became more and more heavy, and there was a tendency of wind and rain to come. Suddenly, he held the letter in his hand fiercely, and the fierceness in his eyes was fully revealed: "He dared to frame my Yang family so far!" The voice was low and grim, like a dormant wolf.

Sima Ji's eyes moved slightly, and he said warmly: "Brother Wenjie, don't worry, I have intercepted the letter, and I have controlled the person, and I will not spread it for the time being." As he spoke, he lit a candle and said, "Burn it." ”

Yang Wenjie burned the letter according to his words, and his lazy intention seemed to be burned together, and he said: "Hmph, this Prince Yan has eaten a bear-hearted leopard and dares to touch my Yang family!" I'm going to make him go around without food! ”

Sima Ji was silent for a moment, then poured him another cup of tea: "Brother Wenjie, think about it carefully, Prince Yan has no grudge against your Yang family, why should he frame your Yang family." First met with General Wei secretly, and then wrote to General Liang to frame your father for colluding with Zihan to seize his military power! When my father was seriously ill, he suddenly stirred up the three forces, what did he want? He stretched out his index finger and tapped it in the tea, and then drew a topographical map of the Great Calendar on the table, circled three points heavily!

Yang Wenjie didn't know what he meant, but he was stunned when he saw the drawn map! After a while, he looked at Sima Ji with some incredulity: "You mean, Prince Yan wants to rebel!" ”

Sima Ji made a silent gesture, nodded, erased the map with his hand, and said abruptly: "So I said, I, the prince, really deserve to be in name only." Yesterday I confirmed that he had bought Wei Youngqing with three million taels of gold! He stood up with a blushing face, "Three million taels of gold!" Hmph, that's a big deal! Last year's treasury revenue was only five million taels of gold! He's rich! ”

Yang Wenjie was also taken aback, he didn't expect that a mere Prince Yan could come up with so much money, so it seems that he must have been planning in private for a long time, and now he finally waited for this opportunity to make a sudden move, in a vain attempt to hit with one blow! Yang Wenjie suddenly remembered that on Chinese New Year's Eve three years ago, his father received a letter during the banquet, and then the whole Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was full of worries and dispersed early. He didn't think about it at that time, and he didn't think about it, he wanted to go out and continue to have fun, but he didn't want to be discovered by his father, so he left the east gate of the house. Unexpectedly, a carriage had already stopped at the east side gate, and the person waiting in front of the carriage was the deputy butler of Prince Yan's mansion, Yan Fengnian. Steward Yan was also stunned when he saw him come out, but reacted quickly, and immediately saluted him again and said that he had come to give him a New Year's gift. Yang Wenjie just felt weird at the time, why didn't he go to the front door to give New Year's gifts, but he never asked about the affairs of the house, just a few words of greeting and left. Now that I think about it, Prince Yan had already intended to buy his father, and he must have killed the Yang family because he couldn't buy it!

Sima Ji closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, and when he reopened his eyes, he was already clear, he stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Wenjie, and said respectfully: "Please Brother Wenjie help me!" ”

Yang Wenjie was shocked, and he didn't make a sound for a long time. It was only now that he finally understood why Sima Ji asked him to marry the princess, firstly, so that he could go to Pingjing without arousing his father's suspicion; The second is to prove to himself that he sincerely wants to join forces with his Yang family. He suddenly felt stupid and jumped into the trap that Sima Ji had dug.

If Sima Ji knew his thoughts, he would probably snicker, although these two items exist, but the most important thing is Yang Wenjie, his business acumen!

Yang Wenjie's face kept changing, as if he couldn't make a decision after thinking hard. Sima Ji waited motionlessly, and did not make a sound urging.

Yang Wenjie's gaze swept over Sima Ji's clenched hand, there was a shallow trace on the back of his white hand, it was a sword wound left on a big competition in the Huaixiao faction back then, if it wasn't for Sima Ji blocking this sword for him, he was afraid that he would not be able to sit here now, he pondered for a moment and said: "Ask someone to drink such a bad tea?" Don't give the wine to my son? ”

Sima Ji was relieved in his heart, knowing this, it was done.

"Brother Xie Wenjie is complete!" He smiled and waved his wide sleeves, "Come on, serve wine!" ”

After three rounds of drinking, the tense nerves of the two gradually eased under the influence of alcohol, and Yang Wenjie still sat lazily in a chair, with slightly drunk cheeks. Sima Ji also loosened the first button on the placket, leaned on the table, and took off the jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand and pushed it to Yang Wenjie.

Yang Wenjie sneered: "Sima Ji, are you calling Huazi?" I'm embarrassed to give it to me. The voice was uncontrollably soft, and it seemed that he was already a little drunk.

Sima Ji chuckled, and his plain white fingertips tapped the table: "Brother Wenjie, don't look down on this wrench, with it, you can mobilize all the private property under my name." ”

Yang Wenjie was silent for a moment, smiled suddenly, reached out and took a wrench and put it on his hand to watch it left and right: "I didn't expect it to be quite suitable for me, and sure enough, I need a good-skinned person like me to wear it beautifully." Saying that, he glanced at Sima Ji, "Look at your poor appearance, don't worry, within three years, I will find you 180 wrenches that are 10,000 times better than this one to play." ”

Sima Ji smiled and clenched his fist crookedly: "In this way, we will entrust our net worth to Brother Wenjie." With that, he slammed his head on the table and fell asleep.

Yang Wenjie was first startled, then stunned, and finally showed a helpless smile, and said to himself: "It's still such a bad amount of alcohol." ”

At night, the already bustling Luoyi Street became even more noisy, from the humerus ministers to the common people, it was time to rest and have fun. Under the cover of the night, all of them spend all day drinking, drunk and drunk. It's just that they don't know what kind of turmoil and turmoil will be caused by the addition of such a demon in the mall from this night on.
