Chapter 50 Opening up the Trade Route

"Seven Star Snow Dew!"

His eyes lit up, Zhu Hui's surprise flashed, and he lost his previous solemnity when he spoke: "This tea was given by the monarch, and the old man was fortunate to have three taels." Since the Yu gang leader likes it, the old man will give it all to you. ”

Hiss!

"Such a precious and rare tea, it is deserved!"

In fact, Yu Huan doesn't like to drink tea at all, and he loves wine more in comparison, but he is more willing to take advantage of this incident to disturb Zhu Hui's heart, so he pretended to be surprised, showed greed, and tasted the tea again before saying leisurely: "The servant who came in with tea just now is a spy who sneaked into the city lord's mansion." ”

"Are you sure?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhu Hui was surprised and a little incredulous.

The servant who served the tea had been waiting for him for thirty years, but he was a little beggar he had picked up on the street, and he had always been loyal, he had never made any mistakes in his work, and he had never had any conflict with the servants in the house.

The inner entanglement and struggle made him unwilling to believe that this was true, at least he needed an ironclad proof.

Hehe~

"There is no evidence below, but this person's nickname in Zuo Jinwei is 'Three-inch Nail', and the city lord can call it for inspection. ”

Coincidentally, during the time when Zhu Hui left, when the servant came in to add water and serve tea, Yu Huan tried to urge the remaining twenty petals of the Hundred Flowers Guanyin, and he really caught a spy out.

It's just that I don't know what happened in front of the hall, which touched the nerves of the city lord.

Changing the tea is fake, and helping the city lord is just a matter of convenience, and keeping mysterious and weird means is the real goal.

Soon, the servant serving the tea was called.

The moment he walked into the study, Zhu Hui suddenly exclaimed: "Three-inch nails!"

The servant who came in was stunned when he heard this, his eyes trembled and he wanted to turn around and run away, but this action was only for a moment, and then he stopped his body, a stream of black blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth, and the cold smile on his face seemed to be a relief, and he fell to the ground after only three breaths.

Hum~

"Zuo Jinwei is too presumptuous!"

The person is dead, and he doesn't need any evidence to know that this person is a spy, Zhu Hui said coldly.

His eyes wandered on the three-inch nail, but he secretly thought about Yu Huan in his heart, but after thinking a lot, he couldn't contact Yu Huan and Zuo Jinwei, so he focused his attention on what means Yu Huan used to know the identity of the spy.

pretended to lean over to investigate and search for the objects on the three-inch nail.

glanced at Yu Huan a few times in his eyes, and this glance made Zhu Hui speechless.

This son is a scoundrel at all, and he is a cold-blooded and ruthless ruffle.

Dead someone, as if he didn't see it, there leisurely sipping tea, and from time to time he smacked his mouth.

Zhu Hui got up and called for someone, dragged the dead three-inch nail out, walked to the table and sat down: "Gang Master Yu, if you want the Yu family to return to the Central Plains and return to Kyoto, the easiest and most effective way is to be able to open up the trade route of the four cities of the Western Desert, if you can open up this trade route, you will inevitably be rewarded by the imperial court, and the identity of the Yu family's criminal ministers will naturally be pardoned." ”

"Why doesn't the government open up trade routes?"

Yu Huan's eyes lit up, and he understood it, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked.

Zhu Hui chuckled: "The four cities of the Western Desert are far from each other, and there are countless mountains and dense forests along the way, and demon beasts are hidden in them. The official road is feasible but the official goods are mainly government materials, and the merchant convoy can only wait in line, and the official road is not accessible after nightfall, which naturally restricts the trade of the four cities, now do you understand?"

As he guessed, Yu Huan nodded lightly and continued to listen.

Zhu Hui's expression was serious, but there was a faint hint of strangeness in his eyes, and he smiled and continued: "If you can open up an exclusive trade route to connect the four cities, in addition to earning endless money, you will also help the empire solve the dilemma of the Western Desert, and this alone can allow the Yu family to return to the Central Plains, and even let the clansmen embark on a career to settle in Kyoto." ”

A look of worry crawled on his face, Yu Huan nodded lightly, shook his head slightly, and his two eyebrows were twisted together.

The Hundred Flowers Guanyin has been exhausted, and it has fallen into passivity for a while.

The more Zhu Hui said that there was something wrong, the more he felt that there was something wrong.

Ha ha~

Seeing this, Zhu Hui smiled: "Of course, it is okay to open up a business route first." As for the other Three Cities City Lords, I'll contact you, but... The Red Tiger Gang wants to open up a trade route, with your current strength, it is still a little lacking, if there is only one Red Tiger in the West Desert, this matter will no longer be difficult for the Yu Gang Master. ”

"Lord Xie mentioned it, I understand!"

Yu Huan got up and bowed respectfully to Zhu Hui in the posture of the lower person, and his eyes were shiny after getting up: "I'll go back and prepare now, and then ask the city lord for help when everything is in order." ”

Ha ha~

"Gang Master Yu is really a true person, so the old man won't keep you!"

Zhu Hui naturally wouldn't mention this matter if he changed others, after all, the national policy has come to naught several times, but Yu Huan is different, this son is too demonic, maybe he can really open up a business road, and then it is himself who will make the first contribution, and the official road in the future will inevitably lead directly to Tianda.

Then I took my leave. ”

Yu Huan saluted again, and then said goodbye.

At this moment, Zhu Hui hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Gang Master Yu stays!"

Oh?

"What else does the city lord command?"

Yu Huan was a little puzzled by the city lord's move, and asked casually.

Zhu Hui's face was dark, and he pursed his lips before saying, "Gang Master Yu, Wei Zehong, who was in charge of the prisoner, was killed, and Zuo Jinwei is searching for assassins in the whole city. Just now, Wei Shuang, the commander of Zuo Jinwei, seemed to be suspicious of you, no, it shouldn't be said to be suspicious, but he mentioned you, and at that time he proposed to let the old man hand you over, this matter may be a little troublesome!"

"Wei Shuang?"

In his heart, he wrote down the name of Zuo Jinwei's commander, but Yu Huan's face only showed consternation: "Lord Wei was killed?

Ay~

"Now I only know that Wei Zehong was killed, and other things are not clear. Otherwise, you can stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a few days and wait until things are settled. ”

Thinking carefully about Wei Shuang's eyes, Zhu Hui felt more and more that something was wrong, but no matter how much he doubted it, he couldn't suspect Yu Huan.

First, the time is too short, and second, Yu Huan is not in the Yuan Realm.

With these two points, it is impossible for this son to be the assassin who assassinated Wei Zehong.

However, Zuo Jinwei did not obey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion, so he could only wait for the empire to issue a decree before making a decision, and during this period, Yu Huan could not be allowed to fall into the hands of Zuo Jinwei, otherwise he would cut off his path to promotion.

"Lord of the City, I have been in your mansion all the time, this... Is Zuo Jinwei brainless?"

The whole situation is under Yu Huan's control, and there is no mistake in scheming left and right, if Zhu Hui doesn't stop him, this game will not be perfect.

Zhu Hui shook his head lightly and said, "There are some things that the old man is inconvenient to talk about, and I still hope that the Yu Gang Master will stay in the house for a few days." Before Zuo Jinwei has no evidence, at least he doesn't dare to rush to the city lord to arrest people, presumably he will arrive at Splendid City within ten days of the imperial will, and then everything will naturally fall into place. ”

Hiss~

"Thank you, Lord of the City, for your grace!"

Perfect, absolutely perfect, Yu Huan's heart was full of joy but he pretended to be a little surprised and hurriedly saluted: "In the future, if the business road of the Western Desert is passed, I am willing to give fifty percent of the benefits to the city lord!"
