The Hexi Army officer on duty at the door received the letter, and Duhuhong came in the afternoon, joking as soon as they met: "Xiujing, dare to write a letter to a man, it's really bold." ”

Seeing her best friend, Li Xiujing said indifferently: "Dead girl, you are now beautiful, you should come to see me when you are free, what are you busy with every day?" ”

Duhu Hong asked the maid to hand over the pastries she bought, sat down and said, "I've been busy for a while, Jiang Fei and the others haven't come back, and the business they have recovered has been handed over to me; Yang Chong was about to let go of all the palace maids in Chang'an, and the matter was handed over to Cui Yao, and I was pulled to be an assistant again. ”

Li Xiujing got up and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Duhuhong and asked, "Are all the women in the palace let go?" ”

Duhu Hong took the teacup and said with a smile: "Yang Chong is really a ghost, his guess is not wrong at all." Don't worry, Yang Chong is not interested in your father and your eldest brother and second brother now, but only in money; These women are different from the palace maids, and they have been handed over to the Criminal Department, and they are all designated as slaves according to the laws of the Great Sui. If you want to get people, just pay for it, but there is a note in the case file of the Criminal Department, they can only live in Chang'an, and they need to stay in the Department of Detention to leave Chang'an. ”

Gongsun Huilan nodded, this is Yang Chong's consistent style, confident and just right; Li Xiujing resolutely said: "Duhuhong, you help me, one is to go to the Criminal Department to lower the price as much as possible, and the other is to lend me some money." ”

Duhuhong shook his head and said: "I have calculated, there are about three or four hundred people, not to mention how much it will cost to redeem them, the question is what will you do after the people come out?" These people are pampered, can you feed them? If you count on your father to send money, dispel this idea as soon as possible, and once the government finds out, I am afraid that these women will be arrested. ”

"So what do you say?" Li Xiujing hurriedly asked, Duhu Hong wouldn't have come if she had no choice, and said with a smile: "Let Duan Lun send the money back." ”

Duan Lun is now sitting in Yizhou, the country of abundance is money, Yang Chong has the intention of recruiting Duan Lun, and he will not care about these issues, the problem is that in this way, Duan Lun will gradually establish contact with Yang Chong, which Li Xiujing does not want to see. Li Xiujing and Gongsun Huilan suddenly understood that Yang Chong didn't care about them during this time, he was just waiting for Duan Lun's attitude, Li Xiujing asked, "What does Yang Chong want Duan Lun?" ”

Duhu Hong replied: "Didn't your Duan family have a few salt pans in the Jiechi? You can transport grain to Chang'an, apply for salt money, and sell salt, so that you will have money? ”

Li Xiujing gasped, the winning Yantian is nominally Duan Lun's, but it is actually his father Li Yuan's, Yang Chong's step is to give Yantian to Duan Lun, once it brings huge profits to the Duan family, whether Duan Lun will really take refuge in Yang Chong, and whether his father Li Yuan believes Duan Lun or not, will become a problem.

But knowing that it was a trap of human nature, Li Xiujing and Duan Lun had to jump down, a little late, if those women of the Li family were bought by the generals under Yang Chong, or rewarded by Yang Chong to a powerful person, the faces of Li Yuan's father and son would be gone. The lone fox rainbow in front of him seemed to have turned into a hateful little fox, and Li Xiujing bowed her head and said, "Okay, just do it." Hey, is there any news from Xue Wanshu? ”

Xue Wanshu is Xue Shixiong's third son, last year Li Yuan gave marriage, and Duhu Hong was engaged, on the day of the break of Chang'an, Xue Wanshu fled into Zhongnan Mountain, his whereabouts are unknown, Duhu usurped and spent a lot of effort to inquire, and the Hexi Army and the Tang Army did not have any news of him. In fact, this marriage is a political marriage, and when the Hexi Army enters Chang'an, everything can change, and Li Xiujing asked this to deliberately stab Duhu Hong.

The most important thing to guard against is her best friend, Duhu Hong put away her smile, couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes and said: "It's like the world is emanating." My eldest brother said that if he hadn't fled to Yixian, he would probably still be in Zhongnan Mountain, but unfortunately he couldn't find it. ”

Gongsun Huilan coughed, and Li Xiujing immediately realized that she was joking too much, the Duhu Hong brothers and sisters are one of the few people who can get close to Yang Chong, if they do something on the issue of ransom, they will be the ones who will suffer in the end. Duan Lun is far inferior to Yang Chong in this regard, after marrying himself, he is still a group of beautiful concubines, once he defects to Yang Chong, it is possible for him to take a leave of absence, just like the eldest grandson Xiaozheng refused to rebel against Sui and was overturned by his father.

Li Xiujing said curtly: "I'm not arousing your sadness, but I've been locked up in the house for a long time and want to know something outside." ”

Duhu Hongqiang smiled: "It doesn't matter, the most sensational thing outside now is the bet on Sister Huilan, Zhou Ru opened a handicap on the gambling stall, and bet two to one that Sister Huilan will not marry into the Yueguo Mansion." ”

"This damn girl." Gongsun Hui Lan was furious, got up and asked, "Yang Chong doesn't care about these gossips?" ”

Duhuhong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yang Chong wanted to send someone to dismantle Zhou Ru's gambling stall and arrest Zhou Ru, but was stopped by Cui Yao, she said it was not a joke, Zhou Ru is also pitiful, back in Chang'an, Yang Chong wants to give her the original property, Zhou Ru doesn't want it, and now she lives on the gambling stall." ”

Cui Yao is really smart, and Gongsun Huilan and Li Xiujing came to a conclusion at the same time. Gongsun Huilan's current situation itself is criticized, and in the eyes of outsiders, there must be something greasy in it, most of which is related to Yang Chong; And according to Yang Chong's temperament, even if the gambling stall is dismantled, he will not do anything with Zhou Ru, and if Zhou Ru can't get it, he will post it back to Yang Chong for some reason. Cui Yao let Zhou Ru stumble like this, no matter what Gongsun Huilan and Zhou Ru originally wanted, there was no chance to get close to Yang Chong.

Gongsun Huilan gritted her teeth, sighed and sat back in place, her heart was stabbed all over her body, the secret that no one knew was announced to the public, and it was known to the whole city, what can you do if you look for Zhou Ru to take revenge, not to mention that she is a prisoner under the ranks, what can she take to take revenge on Zhou Ru. Li Xiujing, who was sitting next to her, patted Gongsun Huilan's hand, turned around and asked Duhuhong: "Did Yang Chong say that he was going to deal with Huilan?" ”

Duhu Hong actually knew, nodded and said: "Yang Chong still regards Sister Huilan as a woman, Cui Yao talked to me, saying that Yang Chong planned to send Sister Huilan to Dingxiang City, but the final handling power was handed over to Yuan Xiren." By the way, Yuan Xiren will be able to go to Chang'an tomorrow, Sister Huilan, what do you think yourself? ”

Gongsun Huilan laughed miserably: "What else can I think, even if I go to Dingxiang County, it's just that Yang Chong threw off a burden, and it's the same for me." Dingxiang is the land of the five counties, but Yang Chong allowed it to exist for some reason in his heart, maybe one day Yang Chong's mind changes, and the army of Yujuluo will sweep it away; If I go back to Li Yuan's side, Yang Chong will definitely clean the old department of the Women's Army, you tell Yuan Xianren, if you can, it is better to give me a death. ”

Duhu Hong suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "For example, what about returning to the palace?" As long as you don't get involved in politics, maybe Yang Chong will hand over the palaces that he doesn't use to you? ”
