CHAPTER XXXVI

"This ......" Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the matter to spread so quickly.

"What else is this, people are dead and hiding in their own yards, what do you think about this? I don't know your situation, anyway, I don't dare to buy your house now, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just ...... If I buy it, what will people say about me? ”

"Hey Wang, you believe me! We've been dating for more than ten years, and I really didn't do it! ”

"You still haven't understood? At this point, it doesn't matter if you did it or not. Lao Wang looked at him and sighed, "You've been short of money lately, haven't you?" ”

Xu Yuan didn't want to admit it, and subconsciously retorted: "As for my lack of money, it's just that some businesses can't be done anyway, and the house is empty, so it's better to sell it." ”

"Yes, whatever you want, I'll do it here, and you can do it yourself."

Waiting for Boss Wang to walk away, the housekeeper who had been behind the cat came over and asked, "Master, what should I do about this?" ”

"What else can I do," Xu Yuan stared at Boss Wang's back and gritted his teeth, "It's already spread, I have to go to Wang Bingsheng!" ”

The officials and businessmen in Yangzhou City are all family, and the officials and businessmen colluded to completely control the money exchange in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xu Yuan felt that he still had some face in front of Wang Bingsheng, and when he thought of his house, no one saw him, and he was hung in the outer hall for a long time. The tea was refilled twice, and there was only one butler who came out, with a businesslike smile on his face, which was annoying for no reason: "Master Xu, our adults are busy with affairs today, please wait." ”

What's the matter, knowing that I'm so nervous right now that I don't even want to see me? What kind of thing are you, Wang Bingsheng, just a county order, you dare not give me face!

The more Xu Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became, pushed away the housekeeper who was in the way in front of him, and rushed straight to the study. He has also been to this house many times, and he is very familiar with it, and the road is very accurate.

When he arrived at the door, he didn't wait for the attendant outside the door to report, pushed the door open with both hands, raised his foot and straddled inward, his tone dragged on for a long time, and he showed a little dissatisfaction in his affection: "Lord Wang hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Before the follow-up words could be spoken, Wang Bingsheng grabbed a teacup in his hand and smashed it at him: "Get out!" ”

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then withdrew with a cold face.

He wasn't afraid of Wang Bingsheng, if Wang Bingsheng was alone in the house today, how would he react, at least he would go into the room and finish speaking, but in just a moment, he had already seen that there was another person sitting in the room - Li Yuanwai.

This Li Yuanwai was originally a Beijing official, and his official position was not low, but he committed a public crime a few years ago, so he was demoted here, that is, he was a left official. There is only an official name, no position, and the name is outside the staff, and it is the same as the regular member. Only a small amount of living expenses can be received each year, but due to the frequent amnesty, there is an opportunity to move a certain amount of money after each amnesty, and it is easy to return to power when there is a change in the monarch or the ruling minister. Therefore, he is a character that no one dares to offend in Yangzhou City.

When I saw him here today, and observed the expressions of the two, he was indeed talking about Yan zhòng, so Xu Yuan didn't dare to show off his face in front of Wang Bingsheng anymore, so he could only withdraw in a hurry.

And he knew that what was planned at the moment must be something he couldn't listen to, and the world was too chaotic at this time, and if he wanted to protect himself, he definitely couldn't follow and participate.

The housekeeper of the Wang family finally chased after him, and saw Xu Yuantie with a face, and the placket of his clothes was full of tea foam, and hurriedly stepped forward and said breathlessly: "Master Xu, you see that you are ...... My family is really busy today, so let me ask someone to take you to change your clothes first? ”

Xu Yuan felt that he had really lost face here today, and thought that according to Wang Bingsheng's situation here, eighty percent of them had no time to take care of their own affairs, so he flicked his sleeves: "No need!" Xu will visit another day. ”

After saying that, he strode out, and the housekeeper didn't stop or send him, just stood there staring at his back and took a sip on the ground.

Inside the house, Wang Bingsheng heard that Xu Yuan was gone outside, and then said to someone: "We have to take this step?" ”

"You think you have some other way to go." Li Yuanwai slowly took the lid of the cup and brushed the tea, but his face was not good-looking, "Success or failure is here, if the four princes really hand over everyone, Lord Shangshu will definitely not be able to keep it, and then what good fruit will you and I eat?" ”

"This ......" Wang Bingsheng was still a little hesitant.

Li Yuanwai glanced at him and knew what he was worried about, put down the teacup and leaned closer to him, staring straight at the person: "Lord Wang, you have to carry it at the critical moment, we are already people in the same boat, one is prosperous and the other is lost." What's more, if you do this carefully, what handle can you leave? ”

"I understand what the staff said, but the four princes are not stupid, even if we find more reasons, he can see what he means. You said that this offended the four princes...... We really can't do it. ”

Li Yuanwai nodded as if agreeing: "Well, I can't see that Lord Wang has measured it very clearly, then I have nothing to say to you," as he spoke, he stood up, slapped his sleeve, and nodded to the person, "Don't forget, Lord Wang, if you want to go down, there is only one way to die, after all, this water ...... But it's deep. ”

He licked his teeth, smiled at the man, and turned to leave.

Wang Bingsheng was aroused by his words, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly pulled him over and responded: "Listen to your lord!" ”

Li Yuanwai stopped his steps, raised his hand and slowly patted Wang Bingsheng's shoulder: "Lord Wang, in the officialdom, people who can stand in line live for a long time." ”

The things that Zhou Jin wants to investigate have been clarified, and after the errand is done, there is no reason to stay in Yangzhou again. Xie Yiying wanted to go back with him, but he came to recuperate for the reason he had used before, and it seemed too fake to leave at this time, and the business matters had not been dealt with, so he had to stay here again.

Reluctantly sent the person away, only to pout, and the boss shook back to the house unhappily.

"Madame, what shall we do next?" Qingmei looked at her with a funny expression, and handed her a plate of freshly cut fruit.

"Next," Xie Yiying tilted his head to look at her for a moment, "Then it's time to have revenge and revenge." ”

"Huh?" Qingmei was puzzled, so she was thanked and stuffed with a mouthful of melon slices.

Xu Yuan came out of the palace, and within two days of the street, he listened to the mourning and music of all sides. Lifting the curtain and looking out, I saw a pair of funeral processions walking on the road, beating gongs and drums, wearing linen and filial piety.

"Phew, it's really unlucky, hide to the side, don't let them touch my sedan chair." Xu Yuan ordered his subordinates with an angry face.

At this time, it was at a three-way intersection, and a carriage slowly came on the other side, Xu Yuan glanced at it and felt familiar, and then looked carefully, only to find that it was not the carriage of the fourth imperial concubine.

hurriedly got out of the sedan car to greet him.

He bowed down from afar and said, "Xu Yuan pays a visit to the Fourth Imperial Concubine." ”

Xie Yiying didn't get out of the car, but only sent Qingmei out to reply.

"Lord Xu," Qingmei saluted uprightly, and there was no mixed look on her face, "At this time, there are funeral families, and the imperial concubine feels sad when she looks at it from a distance, so she doesn't say anything to you." ”

"It's already a blessing to be able to salute the imperial concubine here."

Qingmei's eyes turned to the funeral team that was getting closer and closer at this time: "Boss Xu, do you know whose funeral this is?" ”

Xu Yuan also looked over, and saw a king character written on the big white cloth.

King?

He thought about it, and his face changed.
