"Hahaha."

"Meng Qi, don't you know, I've never seen Qi Heng look deflated like that."

After returning to the inn, Chu Xingchen still smiled and leaned back, but Meng Qi on the side drank tea calmly.

"Hmm."

Chu Xingchen pouted helplessly, chatting with Meng Qi was so boring. Suddenly, Chu Xingchen thought of a joke, and when he was about to speak, Qi Yu didn't know when he appeared here.

"Landlord." Meng Qi was the first to speak, and Chu Xingchen immediately restrained the giggling expression (qíng) on his face.

"But it's going well?" Qi Yu was also busy and had just come back, so naturally he didn't know what happened between them and Qi Heng (qíng).

Chu Xingchen hurriedly told Qi Yu everything that happened (qíng), and then hooked his lips and said with a smile: "It seems that we are one step closer to the plan. ”

Qi Yu nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Zhou Huan and Liu Wan'er happened to come down from upstairs.

"One more thing." Zhou Huan sat in front of several people, "The affairs of the king of the south (qíng), we can't come forward, and all the things (qíng) this time can't be counted to the (shēn) of the palace of the king of Chu." ”

Although this is a meritorious matter (qíng), it must not be involved in the (shēn) of the Chu Palace, after all, according to Qi Yu's current situation, it cannot be involved.

Hearing this, Qi Yu was stunned, and then his scrutinizing gaze fell on Chu Xingchen's (shēn).

Chu Xingchen remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to explain to Zhou Huan. "Rest assured, the matter of the ledger (qíng) has been taken care of."

"Huh?"

Zhou Huan looked at Chu Xingchen.

She felt as if she was missing something important, like the rest of the people were too close.

"I guess, you have secretly escorted Wang Hu to send the account book to the prefect, and soon the eldest prince will use this as evidence and send a letter to the emperor."

Meng Qi's head is an analysis of the Tao, but the people next to (shēn) seem to be accustomed to it. In terms of strategy, there are indeed few people who are Meng Qi's opponents.

"I suppose you must have left a real ledger, right?" Zhou Huan suddenly figured out everything.

The account book will indeed be given to the prefect, and all this credit will be given to the eldest prince, but at the same time, the king of the south has cultivated his power in the imperial court for many years, how can he easily eradicate it.

Therefore, as long as Qi Heng is anxious, he will fall into this circle (tào). There may be nothing now, and when he returns to the capital, Qi Heng will receive it.

"Here." Qi Yu pursed his lips, and then put the ledger he had been carrying with him in front of Zhou Huan.

"This is a gift to the princess, and it is also the sincerity of our cooperation."

Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the previous agreement between her and Yinyue. Does Silver Moon really want to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court (qíng)? Do they really want to get involved?

Suppressing the irritability in his heart, Zhou Huan did not answer Yinyue's question, but lowered his head and looked through the account book.

It turns out that the king of the south can be so smooth in the court because of the silver, according to the above content, the court and the opposition, I am afraid that there are few people who have not been in the same stream.

The fief of the king of the south is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is the core area of trade with other countries, and it is precisely because of this that the border of the south of the Yangtze River is particularly important, and it is also the sweets and sweets in the court.

But who would have thought that the king of the south would secretly negotiate with the merchants and the officials in charge of trade here, and deceive the upper and lower to hoard a pile of gold and silver.

If so, there's more to this ledger than that.

"Chu Xingchen, make good use of the questions of the adults in this account book and find some benefits for the Chu Palace."

Zhou Huan closed the account book and handed it to Chu Xingchen on the side. Hearing this, the corners of Qi Yu's lips also brought a shallow smile.

It seems that Zhou Huan doesn't plan to continue to escape.

How can a person who is an official in the court be innocent from beginning to end, although this time the matter of the king of the south (qíng) involves a lot and shocks the whole world, but in the end it is only a small part.

On that forged ledger, most of them were old men who followed King Nan, and they were indeed stubborn people, and the rest of them were all under Chu Xingchen's control.

……

……

Next, it was a little quieter, and all the people directly involved in it were all degraded to commoners, and all the people directly implicated were imprisoned (jìn), waiting to be found out.

All the people in the court were scared and took care of themselves, originally thinking that they would be involved, but they never thought that the people on the list were not all.

Qi Heng has made meritorious contributions to the book, and even if he is far away in Jiangnan, he has been rewarded by the emperor's decree. For this reason, the prefect of Jiangnan asked all the people to go out of the palace to meet the eldest prince Qi Heng.

Just when the people in the city were moved, Zhou Huan and his party were busy.

On the second floor, in the rooms of the inn.

"Wan'er, did you really decide to leave?" Zhou Huan looked at Liu Wan'er in front of him a little reluctantly.

"Hmm." Liu Wan'er nodded, she got up (shēn), and saluted Zhou Huan, "Girl, this time thank you for maneuvering around to make the matter (qíng) solve so quickly." ”

This time, the matter of the king of the south (qíng) was found out, and even the emperor ordered the emperor to thoroughly investigate all trade issues, so the matter of Junshankou (qíng) will naturally be re-investigated.

"What about you...... Have you decided? When to go? Although Zhou Huan was reluctant, she also understood that Liu Wan'er still had her own things (qíng) to be busy with.

"Right now." Liu Wan'er spoke, her eyes full of determination.

Perhaps afraid that Zhou Huan would be worried, she opened her mouth and explained: "Junshankou is far away from here, so I want to leave early." And again......"

"Besides, you also know that Chu Xingchen's mind is not on me (shēn), and it is useless to stay."

Hearing Liu Wan'er say this, Zhou Huan had no intention of continuing to stop it. "In that case, let's come (rì) to see you again."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

After leaving Liu Wan'er's room, Zhou Huan faced Yinyue head-on.

"Landlord, why are you here?" Zhou Huan looked at the person in front of him suspiciously.

Qi Yu stood with his hands in his hands, "Waiting for you." ”

He has been in Jiangnan for so long, and he hasn't sat down with Zhou Huan for a cup of tea. Therefore, today (rì) Qi Yu deliberately left behind the matter at hand (qíng) and asked Zhou Huan to come over.

"Hmm." Zhou Huan nodded, she really should have talked to Yinyue. "Let's go downstairs."

When the two of them sat face-to-face at the pear blossom wooden table, Zhou Huan took the lead and said, "Did you find the money that King Nan hid?" When are you going to report to the court. ”

Hearing this, Qi Yu stopped the movements of his subordinates.

"There's no hurry."

Zhou Huan continued to ask, "I have a good idea, don't you want to listen to it?" ”

Qi Yu raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"First of all, the landlord can't keep this silver, and secondly, telling the emperor the news of this money at the right time is also an excellent opportunity to trip up the Great Prince's Mansion."

Zhou Huan opened his mouth without hesitation, and then lowered his eyes, quietly waiting for the answer of the person in front of him.

For a long time, Qi Yu had been quietly staring at Zhou Huan, such a calculating woman, fortunately on her side. Otherwise......

"After all, the princess still doesn't believe me."

"I have heard that the sum of silver is enough to prepare a good army, and I am a member of the royal family." Zhou Huan immediately replied, "Besides, all the landlord wants is power, and my Chu Wangfu will not owe it to the landlord." ”

Zhou Huan was really worried about this matter, since Yinyue was a businessman, then they could only talk about business if they only saw it.

"In this way, the princess also wants to involve the king of Chu (diàn)." Qi Yu spoke.

In the struggle for imperial power, no one can be left alone (shēn), so it is only a matter of time before Qi Yu is involved (qíng). In fact, Zhou Huan has known this for a long time, but many times she is lying to herself.

"Isn't this what the landlord wants?" Zhou Huan sneered at each other, before today, she had always wondered why Bai Yinyue found her.

But just now, she suddenly understood.

Yinyue's purpose is to let himself and everyone in the Chu Wang's Mansion behind him stand on his side without complaint, why can Zhou Huan be so sure, because Zhou Huan really knows Yinyue too well.

Because she understood, Yinyue knew that Zhou Huan would definitely not allow herself to swallow that money. And because of the same understanding, Zhou Huan knew that Yinyue had prepared this circle (tào) for her early in the morning.

"Okay, in that case, then our agreement officially begins." Qi Yu nodded and said silently in his heart.

Don't worry, Qingqing, no matter how the clouds and rain in the capital, I will definitely protect your safety.

After solving this matter, Zhou Huan's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes when he looked at Qi Yu were a little less guarded.

"By the way, what about Chu Xingchen and Meng Qi?"

"Refugees from outside the city have gathered, and they have gone to find out the news." Qi Yu sighed, others looked at the prosperity and wealth in this city, but no one realized that the problem of the victims had reached the point where it could not be delayed.

Zhou Huan sighed regretfully, "It seems that I can't catch up." ”

touched the tea cup in the palm of his hand, it was already cold, presumably Liu Wan'er should have left at this time.

"Landlord."

At this time, Yinyue's subordinate came over with a bamboo tube containing a secret letter. This secret letter was originally supposed to be delivered yesterday afternoon, but Yinyue didn't receive it because of something, so it was delayed until now.

Yinyue nodded and took the letter. When he looked down, he waved his hand to let the guard step back.

Then, Qi Yu lowered his head and focused his gaze on the slowly spread out letterhead, but the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

"Is that what happened?" Zhou Huan was delicate, and naturally discovered the change in Qi Yu's face (qíng).

It's just that Qi Yu didn't hear Zhou Huan speak.

After a long time, Qi Yu calmed his tone and crumpled the letter paper in his hand. "Something happened to Junshankou."
