Chapter 770: Elaborate Layout
Zimi looked at the woman intently, and when the woman raised her head, Zimi's eyes were almost straight.
The girl in front of her looked like she was in her early twenties, and her appearance was not necessarily as gorgeous as the girls in the Lingyin Pavilion, but she was much more temperamental and otherworldly than those girls.
On her body, there is a bookish atmosphere, quiet and elegant, and at the same time, her body exudes a charming atmosphere, seducting people's souls, two completely different temperaments, but they are perfectly integrated together in her body.
Zimi looked at the woman in front of her blankly, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
This woman is none other than Xi Cheying.
She waved her hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Zimi, please take a seat." ”
"Multi-...... Thank you, girl. ”
Zimi finally came back to his senses, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he stammered back.
After sitting down, he looked at Xi Cheying, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "I don't know the girl's name?" ”
Xi Cheying smiled and said, "You can call me Miss Xi." ”
"Oh...... Oh! ”
Zimi responded, scratched his head, and said, "I have never known Miss Xi in my life, I don't know why Miss Xi invited me here to meet?" ”
Xi Che Yingle said hehehe: "I heard that Mr. Zimi caused trouble in Lingyin Pavilion? ”
Zimi's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "I...... I just wanted to go in and have a few glasses of wine, but I forgot to bring the money when I went out today, and the old bustard dog looked down on people and slandered me for wanting to go in and eat white food! ”
Xi Cheying smiled slightly and said, "If Mr. Zimi needs money, I have a way. ”
Zimi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What is the method that Miss Xi said?" ”
"I heard that Mr. Zimi is the head of the palace!"
Zimi lowered his head meaningfully and whispered, "Yes!" ”
As a house slave, even if it is a house slave of the palace, it is not a glorious title, especially when the beauty mentions this matter, which makes Zimi feel disgraced.
Xi Cheying smiled: "I have always loved Baoyu, if Mr. Zimi can take out one or two from the palace and sell them in my Treasure Pavilion, I will definitely give Mr. Zimi a good price." ”
When Zimi heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously stood up and asked angrily, "Miss Xi wants me to steal the things of the palace?" ”
Xi Cheying waved her hand to Zimi unhurriedly, signaling him not to be angry, she said slowly: "The king has been running Yuyang for many years, and there must be countless beautiful jades in the family, so many treasures are thrown in the box, it is better to take them out for money."
What's more, even if Mr. Zimi comes up with one or two, who can detect it? ”
Zimi's head shook like a rattle, shook his head again and again, and said, "No! Absolutely not! ”
His words were not only like rejecting Xi Cheying, but also like warning him that he must not make such a move, otherwise, he would become a thief, and the king has treated him not lightly over the years! Xi Cheying shrugged his shoulders and said: "This clear road, I have already pointed it out to Mr. Zimi, if Mr. Zimi does not agree, I will not force it, the huge palace, there are dozens of people, after all, someone is willing to do this." ”
When Zimi heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he was about to reprimand Xi Cheying, who continued: "Come to think of it, if Mr. Zimi wants to enter Lingyin Pavilion in the future, it will be even more difficult, just with the little money that Mr. Zimi receives every month, I'm afraid that saving a year will not be enough to go to Lingyin Pavilion once." ”
Hearing this, Zimi's face changed again.
Xi Che Ying said happily: "The king's gold, silver and jewelry, countless, in this life, in the next life, in the next life, I am afraid that I will not be able to spend it in more than a dozen lifetimes, and you, Mr. Zimi, have worked hard for the king, what have you gained?" ”
"Mr. Zimi, go back and think about what I said!"
Zimi left the Treasure Pavilion, and Xi Cheying's words kept echoing in his mind.
Yes, I worked hard for the king, the king lived a life of fine clothes and food, and a group of wives and concubines, but what about myself?
It's hard to meet the woman you love, it's not fair, it's so unfair! People who are proficient in the art of flattery are basically masters of psychological warfare, and they are extremely good at grasping people's psychological weaknesses and then concentrating their firepower to attack this.
Xi Cheying and Zimi didn't meet for a long time, but her words successfully aroused the desire in Zimi's heart and aroused the resentment in his heart.
Don't look at Zimi as just a house slave, but he still has a very high status in the palace, he belongs to Peng Pet's cronies, and he has won Peng Pet's trust, many places in the palace are under his care, if he wants to hide something, it is difficult for people to find out.
In the next few days, Zimi can be said to be suffering from his heart, he wanted to do what Xi Cheying said, steal a few pieces of jade, but he couldn't pass the pass of his conscience, and several times he stuffed the jade into his sleeve, but in the end he took it out and put it back in place.
If there is no way to make money, even if there will be a period of pain, but after a long time, he will gradually stop thinking about the Xiangyu girl who makes him think about it for a long time.
But the problem is that Xi Cheying has pointed out a way to make money to him, and it is not difficult for him to walk on this path, and there is not much risk in it.
After four days, Zimi finally couldn't bear this torment anymore, and secretly took a jade Ruyi and a jade bracelet from the palace.
The texture of the jade Ruyi and the jade bracelet is very ordinary, not to mention how valuable they are, and they are just some dusty objects placed in the palace, whether it is Peng Zhong or his wife and concubine, they will not take a second look.
Take away these two things, Zimi's psychological burden will be relatively smaller, after all, for the king, this is a useless thing.
On this day, he found another opportunity to leave the palace, so he secretly took the jade Ruyi and the jade bracelet and came to the Treasure Pavilion of Xi Cheying.
Seeing the two pieces of jade that Zimi brought, Xi Cheying didn't even bother to make an evaluation of the quality, and asked the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion to give Zimi five hundred yuan.
When Zimi heard this, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Only five hundred yuan? ”
Xi Cheying smiled indifferently and said, "With the jade quality and workmanship of these two jades, they are worth five hundred yuan.
If Mr. Zimi feels wronged, he can take it back, or he can also go to other jade shops and ask to see if their offer can exceed five hundred yuan. ”
After thinking about it, Zi Mi turned his heart sideways, and finally sold the two pieces of jade to Xi Cheying.
In other jade shops in the city, which shopkeeper didn't know him, and when he saw him selling jade, a fool could guess that he had stolen it from the palace, and once it spread, he must not be beaten to death by the king?
Relatively speaking, this brook girl can still be trusted, I believe that she doesn't dare to spread the word, she leaks it, and she can't get out of it, after all, she tricked herself into doing it in the first place.
These days, even if Zimi dreams, she is a Xiangyu girl with a full mind, and she wants to meet Xiangyu girl in her dreams.
And five hundred dollars is enough, it is really only enough for him and Xiangyu to meet, as for wanting to go further, of course it is impossible.
Seeing this side, it is better not to see it, and after that, Zimi suffered from lovesickness.
But he didn't have any money, so the idea naturally hit the valuable devices in the palace again.
This time, he stole out three jade bowls, three jade cups, and three pairs of jade chopsticks from the palace.
Xi Cheying was quite satisfied with these three sets of tableware, so the shopkeeper gave Zimi 3,000 yuan at once.
At that time, one stone of millet was 200 to 300 yuan, and 3,000 yuan was equivalent to ten stone of millet, which could be worth the living needs of a family for more than two months.
With these three thousand dollars, Zimi's confidence suddenly became sufficient, and when he went to Lingyin Pavilion again, he couldn't wait to smash the bulging money bag directly on the bustard's face.
The old bustard is also a faceless and skinless person, seeing that Zimi came with so much money, he immediately changed his face, the son is long and the son is short, and he is not even compensated, and he is running before and after, which is closer than seeing relatives.
Zimi lived a life of subordinates in the palace, and was called by the masters, but when he arrived at Lingyin Pavilion, he became a master, and there were beauties by his side, that feeling was really fluttering.
Qinglou is not only a gentle township, but also a gold cave, which is not wrong at all.
Zimi can enjoy the life of an emperor here, but in the same way, after one night, there is not much money left.
Gentle Township is intoxicating and addictive, and now Zimi is in this state of unstoppability.
Gradually, his courage also grew, and he no longer looked down on the worthless gadgets in the palace, and his eyes began to aim at the precious jade, jewelry, and even gold and silver jewelry.
The more valuable the things he stole and the more money he got from the Treasure Pavilion, the more frequent he went to the Listening Pavilion.
The more often you go, the more you spend, and the more valuable you steal, it's a vicious circle.
What Zimi didn't know was that he had unknowingly fallen into a trap that Xi Cheying had carefully designed for him.
The behind-the-scenes boss of Lingyin Pavilion is Xi Cheying, and the behind-the-scenes boss of this Treasure Pavilion is also Xi Cheying.
She took the gold, silver and jewelry that Zimi stole from the palace, and gave Zimi a lot of money, and Zimi took her money and smashed it into the Lingyin Pavilion, and the money finally flowed back into Xi Cheying's own pocket.
When Liu Xiu first met Xi Cheying, she was already running the Qinglou in Chang'an, borrowing the Qinglou to make friends with the powerful people in the capital, she was full of eyes and ears, well-informed, and over the years, her ability to be good at business has never been left behind.
Now that she is in Yuyang, for her, it is just a change of place to do business.
In addition, Hua Feiyan also gave her a lot of inspiration.
Hua Feiyan runs Yunxi Pavilion, borrowing Yunxi Pavilion to find out information, so that she can occupy a place next to the Son of Heaven, and she also controls rich resources, why not take advantage of it, why not follow Hua Feiyan?
Xi Cheying went to Luoyang, not only announcing her return, but also giving her a plan, which was to establish her own intelligence organization and compete with the Yunxi Pavilion of Hua Feiyan.
This time she went to Yuyang, which was an opportunity to prove her strength.
During this time, Peng Pet was very annoyed, first of all, the war was very unfavorable.
Geng Yi swept away his forces outside Yuyang one by one, and at present, Peng Pet's forces have all shrunk in Yuyang County, and it is difficult to take another step out of Yuyang.
It can be said that since his rebellion, the painstaking operation outside Yuyang has been ruined.
In the face of the menacing Han army, he was under more and more pressure.
On the other hand, the family is not peaceful.
I don't know what the reason is, things at home will always disappear inexplicably, Peng Pet is not without investigation, but after a search, the palace turned upside down, but nothing was found, those missing things, as if they had wings and flew away.
The huge pressure from the outside world, as well as the unevenness at home, made Peng Pet more and more neurotic.
In this case, Zimi also felt the pressure.
In the evening of that day, he found a rare opportunity to leave the palace, and when he arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, he saw Xi Cheying and handed her a few pieces of jewelry that he had stolen.
Xi Cheying looked at them one by one, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The jewelry this time is good, 20,000 yuan." ”
Zimi's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed again, and he said bitterly: "Miss Xi, I'm afraid the business between us can only end here. ”
