Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sister and Brother Talk

After some fighting, Wang Chongyang and Wang Yueyao lay on the ground side by side to rest.

Wang Yueyao tugged on Wang Chongyang's clothes, and said while gasping, "Yangyang, you have changed." You're not the brother I used to be. ”

As soon as Wang Yueyao said this, Wang Chongyang's cold sweat flowed down directly.

"Why am I not your former brother?" asked Wang Chongyang with a forced composure.

Wang Yueyao turned her head, looked at Wang Chongyang and snorted angrily, "When I teased you before, you never hid. Hmph, you've changed!"

Looking at Wang Yueyao with an angry face, Wang Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, I'm an adult now. How can you be bullied like before!" Wang Chongyang reached out and pinched Wang Yueyao's face, and said toughly.

Seeing that Wang Chongyang actually dared to pinch her tender face, Wang Yueyao suddenly became furious. rolled around, rode on Wang Chongyang, pulled Wang Chongyang's face with both hands, and shouted, "Boy, your sister's face is so tender, you have a conscience!"

"Woo woo"

Wang Chongyang pursed his lips and looked at Wang Yueyao with an arrogant face, his heart was full of helplessness. Wang Yueyao is now in her twenties, and she is still so childish.

While the two were fighting, it was already dinner time.

Sit at the dinner table. Wang Chongyang met two people who had been separated for a long time.

One was a maid in emerald green clothes that I had seen before. This person is a maid who accompanied Wang Yueyao to marry, named Hongyu. Don't look at her as a maid, she was once a ruthless person who went to the battlefield with Wang Yueyao.

The other person is an old man, named Fan Lei, who is similar to Dunn, and is the steward of the Houfu. It's just that when Wang Yueyao got married, she married to the Zhuo family with Qingluan.

"Sister Hongyu, Uncle Fan come over and eat together!" Wang Chongyang said with a smile.

Wang Yueyao asked and nodded, "Yes, you guys come over too." ”

The two glanced at each other, and under the repeated requests of Wang Chongyang's sister and brother, the two slowly came to the table.

After the two of them sat down, the four of them began to eat.

Wang Chongyang looked at Hongyu and smiled, "Sister Hongyu, you are getting plump and plump!"

Saying that, Wang Chongyang's gaze slowly moved downward. Following Wang Chongyang's gaze, Wang Yueyao and the others saw Hongyu's towering chest. Suddenly, Wang Yueyao was furious, reached out and grabbed Wang Chongyang's ear, and twisted it fiercely.

"Okay, you are a cowardly fellow, dare to tease your sister Hongyu, don't want to live?" Wang Yueyao was furious, but Wang Chongyang heard a hint of jealousy from her words.

"Ahem, the little marquis is also an adult, why don't you loosen it for you tonight?" Hongyu put down the dishes and chopsticks and smiled charmingly at Wang Chongyang.

Although Hongyu's appearance is not particularly outstanding, it is born with a charming power. However, she was so charming, but Wang Chongyang did not have the slightest commotion, but felt a little chill in his heart.

"Okay, eat, no kidding. Wang Chongyang immediately made a mistake, Hongyu was already in the Shentai realm before marrying his sister, and now he must have reached the Lingting realm. He definitely couldn't beat Ruby.

Seeing that Wang Chongyang was intimidated, everyone present laughed.

A table of people stayed like this, talking and laughing and eating the meal.

After the meal, the four of them sat in the main hall, drinking tea, talking and laughing.

Wang Chongyang said to Lao Fan, "Uncle Fan, you are old, have you been wronged in the Zhuo family in the past few years?" ”

After Wang Chongyang finished speaking, the faces of the other people present changed. Hongyu and Lao Fan secretly glanced at Wang Yueyao, and the latter's face froze.

"Oops, you brat. Are you worried that your sister won't be able to cover them in the Zhuo family, right?" Wang Yueyao pretended to be annoyed and patted Wang Chongyang, "Don't you know me?

Wang Chongyang sighed slightly in his heart, convinced that Wang Yueyao had an accident in the Zhuo family. But he didn't debunk it.

"Okay, it seems that I haven't been bullied, so I'm relieved. ”

Seeing that Wang Chongyang was not entangled in this matter, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"That's right, sister. Did you hear about counterfeit money when you were in Gannan?" Wang Chongyang asked suddenly.

When Wang Yueyao heard this, her face became slightly solemn, "Of course I've heard of it, and it's not just fake money." Gannan has had a lot of problems over the years. ”

"Oh, let's hear it!" Wang Chongyang suddenly became interested.

"Gannan is located at the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, rich in iron ore and salt. In recent years, there has been a large number of counterfeit coins in Gannan, and these counterfeit coins are so counterfeit that even the local coin inspectors cannot identify them, and they are only discovered when they know that the local government has put the money into the state treasury. However, at that time, because the number of discoveries was small, the imperial court did not pay much attention to it. Just dealt with a few people, and then it was hastily handled. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yueyao sighed, "It is also because of this that the local officials began to lie and conceal the report. As a result, a large amount of counterfeit money flowed into the market. Merchants with counterfeit money at the door can't pay business taxes, so they can only close their doors. In the long run, even survival is a problem for merchants. At this moment, a firm called Huitong appeared, and they exchanged a paper roll called Huitong currency for counterfeit money that flowed back to the outside. And, in the form of loans, paid commercial tax for merchants. However, this loan can only be repaid with a Huitong roll. ”

Since then, Huitong has controlled the entire Gannan commercial market in just two years. And Huitong rolls have also completely replaced Qin coins in recent years. ”

Listening to Wang Yueyao's words, Wang Chongyang felt more and more that this matter was tricky.

"Huitong volume, have you used it?" asked Wang Chongyang. The Zhuo family is considered a nobleman in Gannan, and if even they use Huitong scrolls, it will be really troublesome.

"Alas, the whole Gannan has Huitong scrolls in circulation, and we don't need Huitong scrolls, so we can only wait to starve to death. Wang Yueyao said helplessly.

When Wang Chongyang heard this, his heart sank. The current situation is not optimistic.

"One more thing. If this Huitong firm grasps the printing and distribution of this Huitong volume, it almost controls the wealth of this Gannan. They used a large number of Huitong rolls to buy salt merchants and iron ore mines all over Gannan. And then with this, he took control of the grain market. Now it can almost be said that the Huitong Chamber of Commerce is the only one. ”

Wang Yueyao said, her face gloomy, "The most important thing is that I suspect that this Huitong Merchant is transporting weapons and equipment to the Snow Clan. ”

When Wang Chongyang heard this, his face immediately changed. The Snow Clan is a mortal enemy of the Qin State. Back then, when the Qin State was outside the switch, the Snow Clan controlled Gannan. Later, the Qin State occupied Gannan and expelled the Snow Tribes to the Kunlun Mountains. For hundreds of years, the Snow Clan has come out of the Kunlun Mountains again.

"Do you have any evidence?" asked Wang Chongyang.

"No, just a little bit of a clue. Wang Yueyao shook her head slightly.

There was a sudden silence in the main hall. After being silent for a long time, Wang Chongyang suddenly raised his head and said to Hongyu and Lao Fan, "Sister Hongyu, Uncle Fan, you are more familiar with Gannan, I want to ask you for a favor if I have something!"

Hongyu and Lao Fan glanced at each other, not knowing what Wang Chongyang wanted them to help.

"Master Hou has tormented the old slave. Old Fan shook his head and said with a smile.

"That's right. In a few days, the imperial court may send an inspection envoy to inspect Gannan. I hope you'll follow suit. In this way, one is to protect the patrol envoys, and the other is that you are more familiar with Gannan, which will be more helpful to the patrol envoys in handling cases. ”

After Wang Chongyang finished speaking, Wang Yueyao and the three of them were puzzled. There is no such inspector in the official position of the Qin State!

"Yangyang, what is an inspector?" Wang Yueyao asked the three of them in confusion.

"Ah, sister, you don't know yet. Tingwei Sun Yan has been beheaded all over the house. The current Lord Tingwei is terrible. After taking office, he carried out the reform, set up the Jingzhao Yamen in the capital, and set up eight government inspection envoys above the locality. I asked about this counterfeit money case because in two days, the inspection envoy was going to Gannan to thoroughly investigate the counterfeit money!" Wang Chongyang said with a smile.

"I see. Wang Yueyao nodded slightly, but she was slightly puzzled in her heart, why didn't such a major event as the fall of the chief of Jiuqing in the capital come out?

"By the way, you're a knight. The second and third uncles may be coming back. Remember, both uncles are short-tempered. You have no merit, in front of them, try to be well-behaved. Wang Yueyao suddenly reminded.

When Wang Chongyang heard this, two fierce faces suddenly appeared in his mind. I don't know why, Wang Chongyang's heart trembled involuntarily.

"What are they doing here?" Wang Chongyang became a little irritable. The two came back, and he wasn't beaten that time.

"You'd better do it yourself. By the way, people from my hometown are also coming. Wang Yueyao said again.

When Wang Chongyang heard the word hometown, Shunjian's face changed greatly.

"It's not an old lady, is it?" asked Wang Chongyang eagerly.

"It's really an old lady!" Wang Yueyao smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt some sympathy for Wang Chongyang.

"Damn! I have to prepare something, or I'll have to peel off the skin on the old lady's side." Wang Chongyang hurriedly walked towards Zai as he spoke.

Wang Yueyao, who was behind her, watched Wang Chongyang leave, and the smile on her face gradually retracted.

"Don't let Chongyang know about my business. Wang Yueyao said coldly.

Hongyu and Lao Fan glanced at each other and nodded helplessly.
