- As a tool to reduce the burden on cash transactions, merchants across the country do not know how many pieces of paper have to be issued and destroyed for this purpose, and this kind of paper would not have been memorized too carefully by an emperor. However, at this time, Wang Chi said that the Yan family's silver ticket was related to another important matter, so he emphasized it, and Ruan Luo's attitude towards it was also extremely dignified.

The silver substitution ticket that only took effect in the Yan family's internal accounting office was taken back by Yan Yu a few days ago, and now the silver ticket Wang Chi is referring to the counterfeit ticket sent back from a certain place in northern Xinjiang.

If the counterfeiting of silver tickets is put on ordinary people, it is a major crime to be sentenced to heavy imprisonment or beheading, but at present, the Yan family's special silver ticket counterfeiting was actually presided over by Emperor Nanzhao himself, so naturally the punishment of this matter cannot be measured by the general criminal law. Being able to secretly use the technology of issuing state-owned silver bills to copy other countries' bank bills, of course, can achieve almost perfect Cheng dù in terms of counterfeiting technology, and it seems that there will be no sinister threats.

However, if this matter is revealed, it involves the integrity of the transaction, which is contrary to the avenue, and the negative effect may be difficult to estimate clearly. And the impact of this matter is huge, I am afraid that it will have a heavy impact on the material trading industry of the two countries. The adverse effects of such an act, even if it are only preset at this moment, are terrifying.

Didn't Nanzhao want to take the road of rejuvenating the country through commerce and trade? However, if the matter of this monarch taking the lead in falsification spreads, which businessman would dare to rest assured, maybe he would do what he had learned, and he would be able to pull the sore feet of the Nanzhao monarch and exonerate himself from responsibility.

Although the business world is permeated with a copper smell of profit-seeking, which is the trend of profit, and it is absolutely difficult to avoid it, the basic principle of mutual exchange of goods and money should still be emphasized. Once this principle is disrupted, the original business activities that are fair and measured by scales may become less simple but crude than directly robbing them.

And the key point that made Ruan Luo's heart shake was still. He sniffed out some bad signs from it.

Although he didn't have a good impression of the Yan family, he felt that the law of trading in this family was too strong, in the eyes of the Yan family. There is nothing that cannot be bought and sold, once the value of people and things is depreciated. The ensuing purge was even more ruthless, but he never wanted the family to perish.

No matter how much the Yan family members put profit on the ground and pressure on profit, but the Yan family has more than 1,000 clansmen, a large part of whom are women and children, and they are the weakest in a family, and they just need a peaceful living environment. Although the iron bars that support this huge family are cold and hard, as long as the Yan family is still there, it can at least ensure the most basic survival needs of these weak people.

But fourteen years ago, the glorious Cheng dù was no less than the Yan family's Ye family collapse case to sue people in the business world. Even if your family has money, don't try to collide with the imperial power. Even if you have mountains of gold and silver, they may not be as hard as the iron on the head of the lance.

However, as a big family that has lasted for hundreds of years, the Yan family of course also knows this point of Guangsha Heng Keli, so the Yan family, which has grown from the small Liang Kingdom, has always maintained a harmonious relationship with the royal family of the Liang Kingdom.

Even if the Yan family's current inherent wealth is very likely to exceed the three years of the national prince of Xiaoliang Kingdom, but today, even if the Yan family is a bit arrogant in front of others outside, once they return to Xiaoliang Kingdom, in front of Emperor Liang and the royal family. All the Yan family members from top to bottom seem to have been familiar with the drill first, and they are often greeted verbally and willing to dedicate themselves to silver. He has never missed a gesture of neglect and contempt.

Xiaoliang country has a small territory, the geographical area is relatively remote, the soil is poor, and the country's own resource production capacity is very limited. Therefore, in the face of the Yan family, a business giant, if he is obedient enough, the way to get along between the royal family of Liang and the Yan family is naturally the state of hello and me.

Regardless of whether the Yan family is true or deliberate. The Yan family's cautious and cautious attitude towards the royal family of Xiaoliang State was expressed in such a way that it was close to perfection. It seems that it should be able to go on like this for another hundred years.

However, the Yan family's big ship transporting gold gradually went too far after the business field was expanded. When I went to an unfamiliar sea, it seemed that there was still a potential danger of hitting the reef.

While borrowing from others, it is likely that he will be affected by others, the Yan family has spread such a big business in Nanzhao, if the Nanzhao royal family wants to handle him, he may not be able to get out of it for a while. And if the Yan family really touches the backlash of the Nanzhao royal family, the backer of the royal family of Xiaoliang Kingdom will become like a kind old man, and it is okay to talk about it, but when the reason can't be explained anymore and you really want to fight hard, Xiaoliang Guo is afraid that it will be difficult to be Nanzhao's opponent.

It's just that since the beginning of the old dynasty, the Yan family has paved trade routes in the land of Sanzhou, and has never made any major mistakes, and has also driven many local people to do business, many of which have become the mainstay of the Nanzhao business community. In this way, the Yan family has made a certain amount of merit to Nanzhao, and in the eyes of others, Emperor Nanzhao has always treated the Yan family well.

When did it start that Emperor Nanzhao was still eyeing the Yan family? And this kind of "staring" is obviously a bit ill-intentioned......

However, although Ruan Luo was skeptical about this matter, he was a native of Nanzhao after all, and Liang Guo was only a guest country to him. If the trade-off between the great interests of the matter rises to the level of social welfare, then no matter whether he has the strength to do something for it or not, at least the banner he advocates should firmly belong to Nanzhao's side.

Quickly clearing the complicated thoughts in his heart, Ruan Luo took out a box from the desk drawer, and then took out an account book from the box and opened it. However, I saw that this account book was a word-for-word white book, and there were three pieces of paper with some unusual formats in it, which were counterfeit bills imitated according to the original silver ticket of the Yan family.

"Don't wrinkle, don't get wet, or it will lose its effectiveness." Ruan Luo spread out his palm and pointed to the several fake tickets spread out on the table, and his tone of voice was strict, only the meaning of advice, so it seemed a little rude in front of a generation of emperors, "The fine imitation is completely in accordance with the original paper ticket system, but because of the limited time, the fine imitation has only completed three tickets, and one of them is still ...... Northland, which is reserved for continued imitation. Another high imitation is made with fine imitation as a specimen, and there may be slight flaws in the process. But the victory is that you can make zuò in batches, so the north side specially handed a finished product back first, please take a look. ”

"Hmm......" Wang Chi's gaze swept over the three fake tickets on the desk. There was a deep groan.

He was very satisfied with this result, and he was also very satisfied with Ruan Luo's cautious attitude. These three counterfeit bills are fake. But if Ruan Luo was jealous of his status as emperor, he tactfully failed to explain the issues related to the protection of the bills, and the losses that might be caused would be difficult to make up.

After a while, Wang Chi asked again, "Is there a letter from the north that is handed back with this paper ticket?" ”

Although he is the monarch of a country and oversees the world, he can not flexibly comprehend any industry. In the matter of distinguishing the authenticity of silver tickets, he can admit it very calmly. He was not as good as the subtle counterfeiters in the group, but he trusted the judgment given by Lin Shan.

Ruan Luo spread his hands slightly, pointed to the white book, and said in a slightly slower tone: "On the fourth page." ”

Wang Chi opened the fourth page of the white album, but saw a piece of snow paper, and there was not a single ink blot. However, he soon understood, and secretly thought that the third brother's mind was indeed as cautious as before, and at the same time, he tore off the white paper on the fourth page of the white book.

As he folded the blank paper and put it in his sleeve, Wang Chi also glanced at Ruan Luo with appreciation, the booklet had been with him for a few days. Although he was aware of the hidden processed words in the white book, he was very disciplined and did not look into it.

When Ruan's father was still alive, he and Lin Shan could be called close friends. Pretty much everything. In the first year of Ruan's father's sacrifice day, Lin Shan drank heavily, but he didn't talk to anyone, and only got drunk for three days and three nights. However, today, Lin Shan replied to Kyoto somewhere in the far north, and of course he knew that the letter would have to be passed through the hands of his friend's only son, but he still added a potion to cover up the ink.

This is not really a clever method. If Ruan Luo wants to see it, he should be able to explain it. But Lin Shan's doing this illustrates a problem after all. What is covered in this letter. I'm afraid that only Wang Chi is suitable for reading - reading alone.

Of course, if Ruan Luo had to watch it, Wang Chi would definitely not really blame him.

But Ruan Luo's self-discipline is really good.

It's just that...... This child's heart is still softer, and if he needs to take matters into his own hands and deal with some major matters of life and death whenever he has the opportunity, his decisiveness is likely to be inferior to that of his father.

When Ruan Luo took out the silver ticket that imitated the Yan family, a trace of worry in his eyes did not escape Wang Chi's observation, and at this moment, while appreciating Ruan Luo, he realized this, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

It is not that the emperor who is high above will not look at the faces of others, and even the person who is the emperor will be more sensitive and sensitive, but at the same time, this kind of person has learned to cultivate the king's spirit, recognize the overall situation, and will not dwell too much on some small things.

However, this wisp of softness in Ruan Luo's heart involves another problem, so Wang Chi often thinks about how to arrange it properly.

He still prefers that Ruan Luo can inherit his father's business, instead of being a businessman all the time.

There is no shortage of business candidates in the land of Nanzhao, but there is still a shortage of talents in the court of Nanzhao. Since the founding of the dynasty, Wang Chi has been grasping the recovery of the society with one hand, and holding the group of remnants of the old dynasty with the other. He had already decided that when the frontier was stable and the treasury was accumulated, he would really start purging the government and the opposition, carry out a major purge of the old ministers, and scrape a batch of carrion left over from the old dynasty.

At that time, the talent gap in the court will be even wider.

Although he had been preparing a supply source for this gap more than ten years ago, there was a key position in his heart that he had always wanted to leave to Ruan Luo...... Maybe this is a special shortage to repay Ruan's father's merits, but it is more for the purpose of supplying him for the purpose of being a meritocracy.

However, this child doesn't seem to want to be an official at all, so he faintly maintains a sense of distance from himself.

Wang Chi had already added a title to Ruan Chenggang, taking care of Ruan Chenggang's last words, and this title was designated as hereditary. However, it was when this title was set that Ruan Luo went to northern Xinjiang, traveled to Xiaoliang Kingdom, and stayed there for a few years, and the matter of inheriting his father's title has been put on hold.

After that, he finally returned to China, but soon after he was seriously ill and went to another county to recuperate, and the matter was put on hold again.

Three years ago, he returned to Kyoto again, and this was his third chance to inherit his father's title, but at this time, Wang Chi himself put the matter on hold.

The reason for this change of mind is only because Wang Chi, who has been years old, has realized that what Ruan Luo wants is not this, and even in fact he is still a little disgusted with this. For Nguyen Cheng Gang's only child. If he could, of course Wang Chi wanted to give him what he needed and liked the most, but if he gave him, not only could he not do so. It will cause trouble, and he will have to reconsider.

But what does this kid like? What is needed?

After observing for a few years, Wang Chi couldn't come up with a reason, but noticed some things that he was deliberately avoiding.

For example, alienating the royal court, alienating the royal family.

Even Wang Zhe, who was closest to him, seems to have been influenced by him now, and has become a character who likes to wander around and doesn't like to go back to the palace to live.

Ruan Luo is not envious of being an official, and intends to avoid power. Even now, he is concentrating on the business he is doing, but he is only concentrating on the business itself, and in addition to paying taxes normally, most of the remaining profits of the commercial bank he runs are directly entered into the second district of the treasury after retaining the risk principal.

The accumulation in the second district of the treasury was directly allocated by the emperor, and most of the accounts were kept secret, and Ruan Luo did this, which was almost equivalent to directly giving the silver to the emperor of the current dynasty for free.

If it weren't for an incident that happened in Dongfeng Tower a month ago, Wang Chi might have been so confused about Ruan Luo's thoughts.

However. A month ago, when Yan Yu, the third oldest among the sons of the Yan family, tore off the silver ticket that only circulated within the Yan family in Dongfeng Tower, Wang Chi suddenly had an idea. This idea may kill two birds with one stone. It not only prepares a way back for a certain question that Lin Shan has been questioning, but also can completely test Ruan Luo's mind.

Ruan Luo is not in good health, and he is not suitable for battlefield training like his father, but a good knife must withstand knocks in order to open the seal, and Wang Chi is ready to use such a bloodless battle planned now to knock Ruan Luo's heart. From ability to determination, whether he has the qualifications to assume that important position in the future of the empire will be seen in this test.

After putting away the Tibetan secret letter, Wang Chi looked at Ruan Luo and said slowly, "Were you thinking about it just now?" Why am I doing these things? ”

Ruan Luo was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Wang Chi to suddenly take the initiative to mention this matter, and he could see it. He would mention this because he had already seen something in his expression.

After a moment of silence. Ruan Luo didn't avoid anything, and only answered bluntly: "Yes." ”

Wang Chi was originally going to ask Ruan Luo if he was worried about it because he had a good personal relationship with the Yan family. In the early years, Ruan Luo went to Liang Guo to study alone at an immature age, and the help and assistance of the Yan family can be described as a great debt of kindness to him, which Wang Chi also knows.

However, these words turned in his heart several times, and finally he did not really say them.

When he spoke again, Wang Chi was equivalent to giving Ruan Luo a reassurance: "Don't worry, I don't want to do anything to the Yan family." ”

Hearing him say such a promise, Ruan Luo was really a little relieved in his heart, but at the same time, he felt quite incomprehensible, because Wang Chi arranged for someone to imitate the Yan family's silver ticket, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a well-intentioned act.

After Wang Chi's promise, there was really half a sentence that had not been finished. After a moment's pause, he continued, "But there is one thing at the moment that makes me have to build an embankment. But as long as the family doesn't really do what I fear, the embankment is almost empty and doesn't hurt the innocent. As long as the Yan family is a businessman, we will not disturb each other. Do you understand my struggle? ”

"The state affairs are in danger, and the younger generations understand." Ruan Luo's eyes drooped slightly, although he knew that it was related to the special nature of this topic, and he had to reply rigorously at the moment, he still couldn't help but ask again: "I don't know what this makes my uncle have scruples?" ”

Wang Chi will come to this Ruan Luo's territory outside the palace today, the original purpose is to discuss this matter with him. And Wang Chi was still a little uncertain at first that Ruan Luo might refuse, so he had to make a special exception to choose such a negotiation place in other places, which more or less pulled down his own frame and emphasized sincerity. However, as soon as Ruan Luo opened his mouth like this at this time, it seemed that this matter could be settled immediately.

Wang Chi smiled slightly and said: "Although I have the intention to make Nanzhao Commercial Bank bloom everywhere, I must admit that I am not an expert in this industry, so some things must be done by someone else." ”

At this time, Ruan Luo could already feel a problem, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he returned to nature in an instant.

Wang Chi called, and immediately a royal guard stepped in from outside the door. This guard had obviously been instructed and arranged before leaving the palace with His Majesty, and he didn't say much when he entered the study. He took out a scroll directly from his tight sleeve, handed it to Wang Chi with respectful hands, and then quickly turned around and went out. He closed the door of the study with his hand and continued to stand quietly on the side.

The first time I saw this scene. Ruan Luo thought that Wang Chi was going to issue a secret decree in person, and was about to make another big gift to receive the decree, but Wang Chi raised his hand to signal, and then just asked him to vacate the desk.

After all the things on the table were removed and placed in a corner of the bookshelf, Wang Chi put down the scroll in his hand at one end of the desk, pulled out the filament rope that was tied to the waist of the shaft, and pushed the scroll away with a flick of his fingers.

I don't know how much longer this scroll is than the material of the Yellow Silk Decree. It can be spread from one end of the desk to the other. The long scroll is painted with a pattern, but instead of a single unit, it is divided into four plates. Most of the four patterns are composed of very simple lines of fine brushwork, but when these lines tend to be straight and stacked vertically and horizontally, it makes people feel extremely complex at a glance.

"You and the Yan family are considered peers, and they are also peers who have already had several cooperation experiences." Wang Chi's face was still smiling, "There are many common words among peers, and there have been colleagues who have cooperated, so everything is easy to discuss." What's the matter, it's easy to find the entry point. What's more, you are close to the Yan family. He is less likely to suspect that you represent my eyes. ”

Hearing Wang Chi say the latter sentence, Ruan Luo couldn't help but remind: "The head of the Yan family knew who my father was a long time ago, and if I approached them too quickly, I was worried that they would soon move the direction of their doubts to you, uncle." ”

"You don't have to worry too much about that, of course I'll put up a battle to paralyze them for a while. You have to believe that what I threw out this time is a double-edged sword, if they are just businessmen, then it is safe to take it. If not. They're so shrewd that they don't matter what they're planning to do. will all pay a price. The smile on Wang Chi's face gradually sank, "Speaking of the fact that they checked the family tree and found your father's head back then. Don't they like to check accounts? Find a suitable time, and I'll settle the account with them. ”

Ruan Luo's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.

Having said that, since Cheng Dù had said this, Wang Chi's true intention of coming to the door today had already surfaced, and what surprised Ruan Luo the most was that he didn't expect that what he had tried so hard to avoid just a month ago still fell on him.

Moreover, this time the person he was facing was the Nanzhao Monarch, and no matter what, he could no longer find a suitable and powerful reason to refuse.

The trick of pretending to be sick is no longer difficult to use, not to mention that his body has been recuperated in the past two years and has been stronger than before, I don't know how many times before, at the end of the year, even the wind and cold and minor illnesses are gone, only to say that the last time he used this trick, he still asked the few Langzhong he knew to cooperate well, but this kind of play will definitely not work in front of the emperor who controls the entire country.

Well, this errand was taken over.

Ruan Luo was silent for only a moment before deciding on his choice.

If the Yan family itself is stable, it is equivalent to running a long business. And this kind of thing is not uncommon in business activities, even if the people of the Yan family see that they have left Kyoto and appeared in a different place, it is really rare to find doubts, and they can make excuses for business affairs.

It's just that......

Just when Ruan Luo was about to make up his mind and prepare to announce his order, he suddenly saw something familiar from the extra-long scroll on the table with strange brushwork, and at this moment, a new question popped up in his heart.

This line map of the long axis depicts the topography of the Daqingchuan River Basin.

A few years ago, when Ruan Luo was still recuperating in Bo County, in order to take care of him at any time, Wang Zhe accompanied him to live in a courtyard.

In those quiet but also boring days, Wang Zhe's biggest hobby was not only to eat all the wild game in the mountains and fields of Bo County, but also to study geography, and in the past three years, he has collected several large bundles of geography books in his study. Although Ruan Luo was not very interested in this knowledge, these books were piled up in front of him, and three years were a long time, and of course he inevitably read a few of them.

Since then, one of the places that Wang Zhe has always talked about is the Daqingchuan River Basin.

It wasn't that he would go there on his next leg of his travels, he was just worried about his emperor's father, and he was always thinking about bringing that place into Nanzhao's territory as soon as possible.

As soon as I have time, I will think about this time, not because Wang Zhe is a warlike person, but because there is a group of barbarians living in that place, who do some evil things every day to rob homes and slaughter innocents. It can really be described as an evil force that harms one side. Even ordinary people, after hearing the tragedy from that place, they were eager to wave a kitchen knife to punish the culprit.

After the eerie natural disappearance of the Sichuan garrison. There was no longer the power to suppress it, and the barbarians actually began to prepare for the local emperor. If you don't get rid of the sore in it. Daqingchuan is a great river with abundant fresh water resources, and I am afraid that it will never be able to benefit the people in the future, and no people dare or want to go to that place to cultivate and live.

As the son of the royal clan, Wang Zhe has the qualifications and obligations to take charge of this matter, regardless of whether he will be elected as the prince in the future until he ascends the throne.

Ruan Luo, as a good friend of Wang Zhe, also considered that the area around Daqingchuan was too peaceful, and whether other merchants wanted to do it or not, he would be the first to do so, and he would do his best to string the business routes there. Even if he did, it might cause the firms he presided over to experience a relatively long period of loss. Then he will also do his best to make the circulation of materials over there lively.

At present, I am afraid that only he can imagine such a foolish approach, and he has really seriously considered implementing it.

Even a big businessman like the Yan family will not allow foreseeable losses in business matters, and businessmen seem to have this common problem, the more money they make, the tighter the money bag will be.

Therefore, even if the Yan family has the spirit of dedication, it is impossible to expand the business route to the Daqingchuan Valley now, and the people there do not do business, they will only "grab" this trick.

Ruan Luo, who was standing in front of the desk, looked at the scrolls spread out on the table. He looked up at Emperor Wang Chi of Nanzhao, who was also looking at him at this time, but with a subtle meaning, he already felt that there were obvious doubts in this matter, but he couldn't figure out the plan of the emperor standing across the table. So he just stared at it and didn't speak.

Wang Chi could vaguely recognize Ruan Luo's change in love, he had an estimate in his heart, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Isn't it strange, why did the Yan family suddenly add this business line, and why do I have such a clear grasp of this business line?" ”

Ruan Luo couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the Yan family followed your wishes?" ”

Although he was a little anxious to know the answer, in fact, when he said this, the speed of his speech naturally became extremely slow. Because even he himself was a little incredulous about his inference, even if Wang Chi did have the intention of soliciting the Yan family all along.

The Yan family did business in the land of Sanzhou. Although it cooperated well with the Wang court, the foundation of the Yan family was still in Xiaoliang after all. No matter how big the family business is, it's a behemoth Cheng dù. The assets of the branch have even surpassed the headquarters, but the general account office of the Yan family is still standing still in the capital of Xiaoliang Kingdom. This illustrates a problem and expresses a silent but determined attitude of the strongest family in the business world.

The Yan family is also sincere and stable in guarding Xiao Liang State, so they will always put their key institutions in Liang Realm and under the noses of the Liang Kingdom royal family.

――Even if the Yan family has always done nothing wrong with the affairs of the court, it always seems that there is some deliberateness in doing so.

However, once this balance is tilted, even if it is only suspected to be tilted, the Yan family's "dependence" on Xiao Liang Guo is likely to be subverted in an instant into putting their neck close to the edge of the supreme imperial power.

Although Xiaoliang is small, it has grown into a country with a mature system, and if you are a citizen of this country for a day, you will be presumptuous.

Even if the Yan family wants to be presumptuous, they should prepare their retreat first, at least the first condition is that they must first move their neck away from the edge of the blade, and then act, which is in line with common sense. Why doesn't a businessman calculate the stakes?

Could it be because the Yan family was determined to fall the banner to Nanzhao, and because they were firmly leaning on a new big tree, they would have no fear in front of Xiao Liang Guo and act so arrogantly?

No, this is obviously not in line with the temper of the Yan family, those old backbones of the Yan family association have gone through so many years of ups and downs, but they have not survived in vain.

Ruan Luo had all kinds of clues in his heart at this time, and all of them were covered with a questioning light gray color. At this time, Wang Chi's mood was also a little floating, because the question that Ruan Luo asked finally decided to say it to this junior who he valued cultivation very much at this moment.

"It's not all about following, to be precise, it's a risky collaboration." Wang Chi spoke slowly, the smile on his face gradually disappearing, "Before today, only two people knew about it. And they're all like you today, with doubts on their faces. ”

The questioning look on Ruan Luo's face turned into surprise.

"It's precisely because my two most trusted friends put on that kind of face that I can't help but be a little skeptical." Wang Chi put away his hands propped up on the edge of the table. The right hand was twisted to the left and the left hand to the right into the sleeve, and the image seemed too far away from the dignified emperor. He looked more like an elder in a big family who was struggling with whether to decide whether to do something, "I came to you today, I told you about it, and I felt a little lost when I saw you again, but ...... It's more that I think I'm here right. ”

……

After handing over the VIP invitation card and drinking a cup of precious spring tips before the rain, Mo Ye, who came out of the Lu family, was in a good mood. Because just now she went to Lu's house to deliver the post. Coincidentally, the head of the Yue family was also there, and made it clear that there was no one at home, so she didn't have to go to Yue's house again, so she handed over the two posts together at the Lu family, saving a lot of work.

In this way, the originally tight time in the afternoon suddenly relaxed, and he walked easily on a spacious street in Kyoto that had only been renovated for a short time, and Mo Ye's mind soon appeared with all kinds of problems that he had just left the Yu Family Teahouse at noon.

Patting her forehead gently, Mo Ye temporarily suppressed the intricate thoughts in her mind, because she felt that those chaotic and trivial thoughts could only be used to achieve results with practical actions in the final analysis. If you do the opposite, you are afraid that you will not be able to find any gains if you think too much and become insane.

And if you plan to put these questionable questions on the action agenda. Whether you are looking for someone in Kyoto, or looking for someone outside Beijing on the pretext of traveling far away from Beijing, you can't rush to see the situation.

However, Ruan Luo's coronation ceremony is just around the corner, so let's pay more attention to this matter! At least finish this matter first, and then put your plan to travel away from Beijing on the table to discuss with Ruan Luo.

The mind has a plan, and the distracting thoughts are self-clearing.

Without much consideration, Mo Ye chose the next step to find Ruan Luo, who had been busy delivering posts for the past few days, and had no time to follow him too closely. I wonder if he has returned to the state of life he used to have locked himself in his study every day at some point in the past two days?

The Lu family is not too far from the bookstore where Ruan Luo usually stays during the day, and this is the distance in between. It took less than a quarter of an hour. However, when Mo Ye's eyes could reach the door of the bookstore, she saw a scene that made her feel a little strange.

When did Ruan Luo's two close bodyguards start. Changed to two janitorial gods at the door of the bookstore?

These two men were carefully selected by Ruan Luo and sent to the martial arts hall for special cultivation, so it was a bit overkill to throw them at the door to guard the door, right? Could it be that they got too close and touched Ruan Luo's displeasure? This is even more difficult to say, because everyone who has dealt with Ruan Luo knows what a stable personality he is!

Although Mo Ye thought hesitantly in his heart, his steps not only did not stop, but also sped up.

As soon as she approached, the two "door gods" immediately discovered her, and the two of them had a pair of door-like faces just now, and their expressions suddenly became richer, but in summary, it actually meant the same thing, signaling her not to go over.

Seeing this situation, Mo Ye felt more and more strange.

However, she was so patient that she really didn't insist on entering the bookstore, and only stopped at the gate, but she faced the two Ruan Luo's bodyguards, and the first thing she said was very direct: "The two eldest brothers have worked hard, is my brother inside?" ”

The two bodyguards were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and quickly glanced at each other, their expressions as if they had just gone to the shop next door together to be thieves.

Immediately, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them reacted a little faster, and hurriedly replied: "Childe is not here." ”

These two people have already made a plan in their hearts: although Ruan Gongzi takes good care of the Mo girl in front of him on weekdays, but now he is likely to meet a royal family inside, so Miss Mo had better avoid it.

When he was "expelled" out of the store, the two masters from the palace just now had already reminded him that there were distinguished guests from the palace who came here without making a noise. When these two bodyguards first saw Mo Ye coming over, they were still worried about how to do this, and they didn't have to say it directly.

It's too simple, too easy, and too relevant for now.

Seeing that the bodyguard answered so simply, as if he couldn't wait to say these words to her, it was obvious that he meant to drive people away, and of course Mo Ye had doubts in his heart. However, she didn't think of these two bodyguards as thieves, so although she was slightly suspicious in her heart, she only asked again in a normal tone: "Do you know where he went?" ”――

(To be continued)
