Twenty Seven: Windfall
In the afternoon, I gave the old man a birthday greeting, because there was a prison disaster waiting for the third and fifth masters, so everyone was forced to laugh. Starting
"Wen Wan, if there is anything in the house in the future, you should take care of it more." On the occasion of Wen Wan's birthday, the old man came up with such a sentence.
Wen Wan heard this, and she knew in her heart that today's matter could not be hidden from the old man after all, looking at the old man's old and undignified face, he had always known the real situation in the house, but he just turned a blind eye. No wonder he is so old, his heart is tiredβ§ he is more tired than anything else.
Wen Wan did not answer, β the world is fair, and there is a reward for paying. It is impossible to give without giving and only asking for something in return.
The old man looked at Wen Wan like this and sighed secretly. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, but fortunately, their own titles cannot be taken away. Can't take the title, the old man's eyes darkened and darkened, and he now doesn't know whether this is a blessing or a disaster for the descendants of the Hei family, who can say clearly.
Wen Wan returned to the county lord's mansion, rested for a while, and let Shang Tang and Zhenzhen go back to rest. She asked Xia Tian to bring Jiang Lin in.
Jiang Lin has been wearing a navy blue dress for more than two months, his complexion looks good, he walks vigorously, and his body looks a lot better than before.
Seeing Wen Wan, he prostrated on the ground: "The slave greets the master." β
Wen Wan didn't wear a veil at this time, sat on the top seat, and looked at Jiang Lin: "Our county lord asks you if you have a grudge against our county lord because of the Jiang family's affairs." β
Jiang Lin was shocked: "The slave doesn't dare, since the slave has joined the master's door, he will definitely be loyal." There are no two hearts. β
Wen Wan smiled lightly: "Don't you dare, or won't?" β
Jiang Lin knew that if he couldn't pass this level, he would still be beaten into the dust. Mind spinning. After thinking about all kinds of rumors, he decided to take a gamble, anyway, he has nothing now: "The slave doesn't dare." and never dared to resent his master. The so-called successful prince is defeated. Our Jiang family has already made a big move, and it is only a matter of time before something happens. So. Don't dare to have any resentment against the master, β it is the anger of the Jiang family, and it has nothing to do with the master. "Meaning. If you are not gentle, there will be others who will make the Jiang family defeated. There is not much contact with Wen Wan.
Wen Wan nodded slightly, always saying some loyal words, pale and weak: "Jiang Lin, our county lord sees that you are a talent and wants to use you." How do you see it yourself? β
Jiang Lin knew that this matter was not so easy. If the gentle, county lord is so good at talking. It is impossible to mix up to this day: "The slave obeys the master's orders." β
Wen Wan took off the red gold fingernail cover on her hand, in fact, she was very reluctant to wear this ghost thing at first. But the ladies of the capital, especially the women in the palace, all wore it. She's going to have to go with the flow, too. But when I put it on, I felt really imposing: "Jiang Lin, the county lord said, if you really take refuge in our county lord, our county lord will naturally use you." Moreover, it will also help you rescue your wife and children. β
Jiang Lin's heart was shocked again: "The county lord has a slave who has a servant, and the slave has absolutely nothing to say." The master just let the slave die, and the slave will never dare to say anything. "Although the Jiang family claims to be the richest man in the Great Qi family. But it's still looked down upon. They want to whitewash themselves. But the sons of businessmen are not eligible to participate in science. Their Jiang family is also a strong supporter of King Zhao, but their status is the last. is decent on the outside, but on the inside, he is just a slave of King Zhao.
Wen Wan dictated a few words: "The county lord said." Want to see your sincerity? β
Jiang Lin didn't understand, and looked at Wen Wan a little blankly.
Wen Wan smiled, Xia Yao got Wen Wan's meaning, and looked at Wen Wan and was stunned for a few seconds: "Jiang Lin, the county lord said that as long as you hand over the silver buried by the Jiang family, she will believe you." Our county lord said that business is also righteous. The credibility of our county lord is unknown to no one in Daqi. As long as you say it, you will never break your word. β
Jiang Lin thought that he was calm enough, but after hearing this, it was like a thunderbolt in the blue sky. The complexion was blue, white, purple, and purple (frightened). How could it be, how could such a confidential matter of their Jiang family be known by the gentle county lord. If it is true that they are investigated and punished, all the people of the Jiang family will not be able to make even slaves, and they will all die. For now they are guilty of deceit. Jiang Lin looked at Wen Wan, how did the Jiang family's confidential matter know.
The gentle eyes are very peaceful. It seemed that this matter was insignificant to her. Jiang Lin loves to say it or not, it has little impact on her. The more Wen Wan behaved calmly, the more Jiang Lin couldn't grasp the pulse. The more uncertain he was, the more he was sure if the county lord was blowing him up.
Wen Wan hadn't thought of this question before. But just now, Jiang Lin was loyal to the words, but he was Wen Wan keenly smelled the smell of moneyβ‘ thinking about what would happen to the richest man in the world when he knew that the building might collapse. I don't even want to use it, what would happen if I replaced it with myself. It will definitely hide its belongings and leave a chance for future generations to make a comeback.
Jiang Lin's performance has been completely exposed. Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan in great surprise, she didn't even find out about this matter. How did the county lord know? How deep Wen Wan's thoughts are, Xia Yao has no bottom in her heart.
Jiang Lin was so out of shape just now because he thought it was over. Wen Wan just gave him a dissipation, and now that this secret has been shattered in an instant, if he doesn't lose his temper, then he has to have a Taoist at the level of the emperor.
Wen Wan knew that concealing property during the raid was a serious crime here, and it was a crime on top of a crime: "It's okay, as long as you hand over the hidden property." I don't add to your sins. As for those who were sold or died, Wen Wan believed that the emperor was not interested in pursuing them. Those two bigwigs are staring at the life and death of the money characters, and they won't care.
Jiang Lin immediately understood that this money was actually something she had pledged her loyalty. Jiang Lin didn't think that Wen Wan would embezzle his hidden money. He believed Wen Wan's words: "Yes, I hid 200,000 taels of gold." β
Jiang Lin saw that Wen Wan's face remained unchanged, and he didn't even shake his brows. Even those princes would be overjoyed when they heard about the two hundred thousand taels of gold. But his new master is good, and in her eyes, 200,000 taels of gold is like hearing 20 copper plates. Jiang Lin was completely speechless. However, because of his gentle attitude, he believed that he would not add to sin.
In fact, in Wen Wan's eyes, 200,000 taels of gold, a total of 2 million taels of silver, is indeed not much. Compared with the hundreds of millions of taels of silver she wants to earn, that's a fraction. However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and it just so happens that she has no start-up capital on hand, so Wen Wan is thinking that she can talk to the emperor's grandfather and deduct some points directly from it to her as capital. Anyway, it was extra fish.
After Wen Wan finished thinking about it, she said to Jiang Lin: "You have also traveled south and north over the years, and our county lord happens to have three boats in his hands. As long as you have this ability and can manage it, our county lord will hand over this errand to you. β
Jiang Lin's eyes widened: "Lord, master......" This is too shocking. As soon as he came, he gave such a big messenger.
Wen Wan waved her hand: "Jiang Lin, you take out a copy of the charter." Let's see if you have what it takes. Let's go down! β
Jiang Lin staggered down.
Xia Yao said a little: "County Lord, didn't you take the opportunity for him to run away?" β
Smiled gently. She didn't just want to fill the emperor's private treasury, she wanted to open up trade along the coast. When the time comes, it will not only fill the private treasury, but also the national treasury. Once the border trade is opened, Jiang Lin will flee to another country, and she will be able to arrest him back.
To join trade, it is natural to form a joint army. Navy, shook her head gently. It's too early to think about that. The army's salary problem can't be solved, and there is still a group of robbers eyeing the outside of the fortress! Navy, it is not known how many years later. There is still a long way to go! However, instead of feeling bold, Wen Wan aroused her infinite passion. Since you can't live an ordinary life, you can just do a big one. As the teacher said, it will also be immortal.
It's a pity that Wen Wan's ambition only lasted for a minute before it was extinguished. Xia Yao walked in and said to Wen Wan that Ping Xiangxi's matter seemed to be very complicated.
nodded gently, no matter how complicated it is, how complicated it can be. Baoping Xiangxi has a life, she can still do it. However, if she wants to make someone she can't do, she won't let it be better.
When it was dark, Wen Wan stood in the courtyard. Compared with the luxury in Yongning Palace, Wen Wan still feels that the atmosphere here is smoother. It's just that whether it's luxurious or plain, whether it's good or not depends on her attitude.
Wen Wan fell into deep thought, and she didn't even notice that it was raining. It was Xia Yao who hurriedly pulled her back into the corridor. A few words of complaining.
Wen Wan smiled lightly, and didn't go back to the room, Xia Yao added a coat to her. Wen Wan watched the rain dripping and hitting the scorched leaves of the bamboo tops, and there was a cold taste.
Wen Wan felt the coldness, and her mood was even worse. The emperor's grandfather is old, and his health is getting worse day by day. Others may not know, but she who accompanies the emperor knows it.
Wen Wan didn't inquire, but she could guess that the emperor's grandfather would not live too long. If you are optimistic, it is estimated that there will be two or three years, and if you are not optimistic, it will be about a year. Wen Wan was very gloomy, in the previous life and this life, although the emperor began to calculate and use her, he never did anything bad to her. The emperor used his best efforts to hurt her (being an emperor is sometimes quite helpless, which can be understood). If it was in case her grandfather passed, Wen Wan shivered, she felt very cold.
Wen Wan immediately became uncalm, and immediately ordered to prepare the carriage and go back to the palace immediately. Everyone thought that something big had happened and immediately began to prepare.
Xia Yao was also surprised, thinking that something was wrong. Wen Wan shook her head, saying that there was no problem, but she just wanted to go back to the palace. Xia Yao had doubts in her eyes. If it weren't for the filial piety of the county lord, it is estimated that he would have moved out of the palace a long time ago. (
