Such a plate of gold is naturally difficult to harvest for no reason.

Although Xiao Changye actually wanted to get straight to the point at this time, this would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the city lord of Lincheng, and he had to test and deepen it little by little.

He had to let the Lord of the Neighboring City pull him in and expose their plans to himself.

Looking at Xiao Changye's indifferent eyes, if it weren't for the fact that the city lord of Lincheng had been sending people to stare at Xiao Changye, he would really think that this Lord Xiao was a righteous gentleman who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

"My lord, you have already guessed it, then the lower official will open the skylight and say something bright." The city lord saw that Xiao Changye was too calm, so he had no choice but to open his mouth first and pierce this layer of window paper.

There is no way, Xiao Changye's performance is too indifferent, and he knows at a glance that he is not an easy master to deal with.

And in a negotiation and deal, it is often the person who is the most open at a disadvantage.

But there is no way, looking at Xiao Changye's appearance, he also knows that it is impossible for him to open his mouth first.

"Well, the city lord, please speak."

Xiao Changye still looked indifferent, picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.

Looking at Xiao Changye's appearance, the city lord of Lincheng felt that he was probably going to bleed heavily this time.

But it doesn't matter, hemorrhage is hemorrhage, as long as you catch this line in the capital, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to make a fortune in the future?

Thinking of this, the heart of the city lord of Lincheng was much more stable.

"Do you still have an impression of the flower boat you went to yesterday? I wonder what the adults think of the flower boat? The city lord of Lincheng looked at Xiao Changye with a smile, but because of his lack of appearance, he was not a fox at all.

More like a weasel.

"Okay." Speaking of the flower boat, Xiao Changye's impression was naturally quite deep, "It's very exquisite, although it is not as good as the flower boat in the capital, but it is already rare." ”

It's not as good as the flower boats in the capital......

This sentence made the heart of the city lord tremble slightly.

The few flower boats parked on the lake were all changed boats that they specially invited people and spent a lot of silver taels to build, and the thought and effort that took were really not a few.

Even so, it is still not as good as the capital.

The heart of the city lord of Lincheng couldn't help but be eager, if he just wanted to take the road to the capital before, now he couldn't wait to catch the capital.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

He also wants to climb the capital and see the prosperity of the capital.

Even, it is to take root in the capital!

Xiao Changye saw ambition in the eyes of the city lord of Lincheng.

"My lord, in the business you are doing, the flower boat is just an introduction." There was a bit of temptation in the voice of the city lord of Lincheng, "Do you know, what is the fastest benefit now?" ”

…… Playing pantomime riddles again?

Xiao Changye couldn't help muttering in his heart.

But there was a hint of doubt on his face: "What? ”

"Throughout the ages, it is naturally the business interests of the official family that have the greatest interests!" The city lord of Lincheng squinted, his face full of greed, "Now that salt is controlled by the imperial court, if we sell illicit cigarettes through the flower boat, wouldn't it be seamless?" ”

Illicit salt?

Xiao Changye's heart swelled with a burst of consternation!

originally thought that this matter was just a simple oppression of the people, but now I don't want to be involved in the sale of private salt?

You must know that throughout the ages, salt sales have always been in the hands of the imperial court, and once someone is found to be selling illicit salt, they can even be directly sentenced to death when they exceed a certain amount!

I thought that this city lord was bold, but now it seems that where is it so bold? It's just daring!

It was probably rare to see the calm Xiao Changye with a stunned look on his face, and the city lord of Lincheng felt strangely comforted for a while.

He looked at Xiao Changye with a smile and said, "My lord, I really want to do business with adults, I don't know what my lords think?" ”

Idea?

Not much of an idea.

I just want to serve these people in a pot.

Xiao Changye continued to be expressionless: "The city lord is frank, just tell the official about this?" The city lord must know that this salt selling is not a trivial matter! If you make a bad fuss, you will get a human life! ”

He stared at the city lord of Lincheng, and his tone was solemn.

However, the city lord is very calm, obviously used to this kind of thing.

That's right, if you don't have this kind of thought, how can you be so calm and calm to force prostitutes and sell illicit salt?

Now you still want to pull him, an official from the capital, into the water?

It can be seen how ambitious this person is! Reading the Library

"If you want to be rich and rich, where can you not take risks?" The city lord of Lincheng didn't have the flattery and lowliness in front of Xiao Changye before, and the whole person was very high-spirited!

"My lord, we people in the government don't want to say those polite words, the left and right are just for the sake of power! Although you are classified as a big official in the capital, haven't you always been oppressed by your own wife? "The city lord of Lincheng has already turned on the mouth cannon mode at this time and has begun to flicker...... No, start the routine Xiao Nagano.

Hearing that the city lord of Lincheng provoked this remark, Xiao Changye was very cooperative and showed a surprised expression: "You...... Do you see that? ”

Seeing Xiao Changye like this, the city lord of Lincheng couldn't help but feel a little more at ease.

Sure enough, men are still very concerned about those things at home.

"Exactly." The city lord of Lincheng sighed softly, "My lord, you can talk about it, now you are attached to your own wife, although outsiders don't know your sadness and can only see your scenery, but you know how cold and warm you are!" ”

After he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Changye's face showing a bit of serious thinking, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart at the moment.

Then he kept up: "Think about it, if you can get enough wealth, then ...... Where is the need to be so condescending to your wife? ”

These words probably pierced Xiao Changye's heart, and he couldn't help pursing his lips, but his eyes were still deep, so that the city lord of Lincheng couldn't see clearly.

"Your Excellency, think about it!"

……

Xiao Changye had lunch before leaving the City Lord's Mansion.

When he left, he was accompanied by a food box with snacks on top and gold on the bottom.

Bribery is bribery, although you know it, you still have to cover it up.

When he went back, Xiao Changye did not go back to the post station directly, but walked around the streets outside, bought some snacks and jewelry, and then returned to the post station.

Snack jewelry, naturally given to Xia Wei.

When she went back, Xia Wei had just finished her lunch, and she was sitting on the chaise longue drinking sour plum soup, looking at it with a notebook in her hand.

"You're also obsessed with this book, why do you like it so much?"

Xiao Changye opened the door and walked in, and by the way, he put aside the things he bought, but after putting them down, he picked out some snacks from it and put them on the table next to Xia Wei.

"What else can you do without looking at this? Didn't you call me embroidery? Hearing Xiao Changye's voice, Xia Wei just glanced at Xiao Changye's face, and then put her attention back to the notebook, yawning by the way.

Embroidery?

She didn't like it.

It is time-consuming, tiring, and easy to prick.

In the end, it's still interesting to read the book!

"Don't you always complain about the routines of these books?" Hearing his own girl revealing her sharp claws, Xiao Changye couldn't help but chuckle.

As he spoke, he had already taken the stool next to him and sat next to Xia Wei, who had just gone out for a walk and was still a little chilly, but now he was roasted in front of the fire, but he felt a lot warmer.

"That being said, look at it or watch it." Xia Wei felt that she had to talk about this matter for Xiao Changye, and she couldn't just let him misunderstand like this, "Cliché is cliché, isn't it interesting?" ”

If it's boring, where can a cliché plot exist for so long?

Don't you see the story of Cinderella, isn't it always liked by people?

It's the same thing.

It's a pity that Xiao Changye didn't intend to understand this truth, so he casually answered a few times at the moment, and then talked about the matter of this morning's city lord's mansion.

There were two Xuanming cultists guarding the room outside, so there was no need to worry about someone eavesdropping.

However, the sound insulation effect of this place is average, and you still have to control the sound.

“…… In other words, in addition to being involved in coaxing women from good families, the officials in this city are still selling illicit salt? ”

The corners of Xia Wei's mouth twitched slightly, but she met a group of novice bandits on the road, and she didn't expect to be able to involve so many things!

"Brother Nagano, I think I'm really a bit of a crow's mouth." She couldn't help but take Xiao Changye's hand, with a look of emotion, "I was a little bored just after I finished speaking, and I immediately sent such a big thing!" ”

She couldn't help but snort.

Looking at Xia Wei's emotional appearance, Xiao Changye couldn't help but smile, and then nodded with Xia Wei: "Isn't it?" Maybe our Weiwei is God's daughter, so when I hear your complaint, can I realize it for you right away? ”

After speaking, Xiao Changye nodded solemnly, as if it was true.

Xia Wei, who was watching on the side, couldn't help laughing.

It's really rare to see Mr. Xiao joking.

"It's rare, I don't think much the same as Mr. Xiao." After Xiao Changye said that, Xia Wei was also playful, and she became serious, "I think I may be God's opponent, but I complained a few words, so I deliberately came to rectify me!" ”

After saying that, Xia Wei also indignantly picked up the snacks that Xiao Changye bought on the table, threw one in her mouth, and bit it viciously, as if she was chewing on the blinding God!

"Poof...... Weiwei, you are like this, be careful that God is really careful to fix you! Xiao Changye reached out and gently pinched Xia Wei's nose and said.

Xia Wei didn't take this to heart at all, she stuffed a snack into her mouth again, and the cheeks on both sides were bulging: "God is not so careful...... There are so many people in the world complaining about God, where can God manage it? ”

Ahem, that's right, the last sentence is what she really thinks!
