Chapter 10: The Lion's Mouth

Suddenly I felt very embarrassed. Bai Wuchang looked at the armored knights on both sides of the road, swords and guns were lined up, and the torches illuminated the road as if it were daylight, if such a scene was put aside, she would definitely panic, in fact, when she saw the people in the official mansion, she would feel inexplicably weak in her heart, probably those who had broken the law could not escape such a mentality. But tonight was different, she was not afraid at all, because those officers and soldiers stood there respectfully, and they did not dare to make a sound.

Xue Chongxun really didn't take advantage of her much, although they rode the same horse, his hand just honestly wrapped his arms around her waist. At this time, he suddenly said: "You see that Sanniang is doing a good job under me, you don't have to worry about food or clothing, and no one is chasing and killing, safe and stable, or you will abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and follow me with Sanniang." ”

Bai Wuchang didn't refuse immediately, which was the same reason as Song Jiang's bent desire to recruit An.

After being silent for a while, Bai Wuchang chuckled and said, "Save it, I'll go to the rivers and lakes to eat with my ability, and it's good to be free, with you?" I'm afraid I'll fall into it and find myself bored. ”

Xue Chongxun raised his head and sighed: "The Buddha said that there are two hard things in the world...... He only said one sentence and did not continue. Bai Wuchang was waiting to hear interesting stories about the Buddha, but unexpectedly there was no follow-up, she couldn't help but be curious: "It can't be that you made it up temporarily, you haven't thought about those two things yet, right?" ”

When Xue Chongxun pondered and pondered which two things they were, Bai Wuchang said again: "I hate to say half a sentence and leave half a sentence the most...... So be it, you're done, and I'll reward you. ”

"How?" Xue Chongxun asked casually. Bai Wuchang turned his head and whispered in his ear: "Let you touch your chest, I have a good shape there, but I can only do it through my clothes." ”

Xue Chongxun was stunned, he didn't care about looking at the road, and when he looked down, he saw that her clothes were all up, there was no bra in the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible for most women to push up their clothes. This Bai Wuchang teased a man twice, and when she said this, Xue Chongxun's body was also uncontrollable, and he reacted a little.

Bai Wuchang felt it, and said with a smile: "It's not promising, it's impulsive with such a sentence?" Do you want to touch it? Xue Chongxun no longer hesitated, hurriedly freed up a hand, gently placed it on her chest, and immediately felt a pair of firm things, he couldn't help but grab it gently, and the elastic thing was grabbed and changed shape.

"Oh, you tap!" Bai Wuchang took his hand away, "Now it's time for you to say it, right?" Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said: "Two hard things, one is that I didn't get what I wanted and was struggling to pursue it; The second is to get it, but still have trouble sleeping and eating, and are afraid of losing. ”

The two rode horses and talked for a while, they had already left the camp for a while, Xue Chongxun grabbed the reins of the horse and said: "I'll send you here, you ride away, there should be no danger, the guards around the camp don't dare to pursue against my will." So saying, he jumped off his horse and slapped the horse's buttocks.

Bai Wuchang turned around and said, "I don't know who it was last time I hired me to assassinate you, but there is a clue, do you want to know?" ”

"You say." Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, "If you are afraid that the news will be leaked and the rivers and lakes will not tolerate it, the door of my mansion will be open for you at any time." ”

Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "I can get a lot of money for taking back the account book in my hand, and I can get away with it for a while, what do I want to do in the future?" When you went to check the clues I provided, I had already gotten the money, and they had nowhere to look for me...... Well, the 'due south and north' inn in Chang'an East City, you can start from there. Say goodbye, there will be a date later! ”

After she said that, she rode her horse and ran, the wind was blowing in her ears, and suddenly she didn't understand herself, Xue Chongxun didn't ask, why did she take the initiative to say that clue? People always have to do things that are not beneficial.

…… Xue Chongxun watched her back go away, and returned to the camp with another horse. It was already late at night, but Liu An and other officials were still waiting in front of the tent.

They followed Xue Chongxun into the tent, and Liu An immediately took out a list and handed it to Xue Chongxun and said, "This is the approximate income of the states along the canal in the first half of the year, please Xue Lang take a look." ”

"Sit, sit down and talk." Xue Chongxun took the list and leaned under the lamp to examine it carefully.

Lu Tingshi bowed down and said: "Wei Guogong has just arrived, and in order to avoid being abrupt, I didn't dare to show you these things immediately, please don't blame a lot." ”

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "It's all your own people, everything is easy to discuss, don't mind." As you all know, I'm a casual person. ”

"That's, that's." The officials exhaled secretly, not feeling too casual.

Liu An said: "If Xue Lang doesn't dislike it, 20% of all income, please smile...... Due to many dots, the big head will be sent to Chang'an, so please understand Xue Lang. ”

"Don't say two percent, even one percent is a lot of wealth, I really don't know how to spend it?" Xue Chongxun said while contemplating, as if he was worried that the money would not be spent.

"So Xue Lang accepted it?" Liu An said with a dry smile. Everyone is looking forward to Xue Chongxun's answer, this matter is really begging Daddy to worship Grandma and ask others to take money, power is good!

"Accept! How not to accept it? Isn't it stupid to send such a good thing as money to your hands? Xue Chongxun said with a smile, "People in the world are more or less unscrupulous for the sake of profit, and the so-called people die for money and birds die for food is not unreasonable." ”

The officials' faces were relaxed when they heard this, as if they were all relieved, money is a good thing, but it is also very dangerous, as long as Xue Chongxun dares to take money, he is a person on the same boat, and there is nothing to worry about.

Unexpectedly, before they finished their breath, Xue Chongxun said again: "But two percent is really less." ”

"This ......" Liu An's expression changed, and he frowned, "That's Sancheng." At most, that's all it takes, Wei Guogong! It's not that I, Liu, am greedy for money, this money is really hot, if I can, I don't want any of it. Because more than half of it will be sent to Chang'an, you will be divided into 30% alone, and less than 20% will be divided into the hands of those oblique officials, otherwise what will people do if they spend money to buy officials and do not enter the account? ”

Xue Chongxun shook his head and said, "Liu Yuanjun, you're right, if you want the horses to run, you have to give them grass!" I don't want 30 percent, I want 70 percent! What you said just now is mine, plus the share sent to Chang'an, give it to me, Chang'an doesn't have to send money. ”

"This can't be done, it's not good, let's plant it quickly!" Liu An exclaimed.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "I'll follow you!" If you want to give money, you can, seventy percent; Otherwise, I won't take a penny. When something happens, I don't take any money, and the fire can't burn me! ”

The officials were silent, and it was obvious that everyone was reluctant to dump Xue Chongxun's account...... The dividends given to him surnamed Xue are just because he has the official title of steward on his head, and at the same time he is the biological son of Princess Taiping. Two reasons are indispensable.

Now he is good, he wants a big head in one breath, and he doesn't even care about Chang'an. Be! He is from Princess Taiping's family, but Taiping has four sons, and his henchmen are not necessarily as important as his sons, could it be that everyone completely gave up the bigwigs in Chang'an for one of Taiping's sons?

Xue Chongxun looked at the expressions of the crowd with great interest, and sneered: "What are you thinking about thinking that I don't know?" Liu Yuanjun, you also said just now, this money is hot in your hands, since it is a matter of life to take life and not to spend it, what are you doing with it? Give me the big head, I will dispose of it myself, and let the other parts be divided among those magistrates, even if someone wants to pursue it, it will only investigate where the big head goes...... Wouldn't the part you got in your hands be more secure? ”

After he said this, everyone suddenly looked at each other, and they were all a little moved, but they didn't know whether Xue Chongxun was reliable or not, so they were still waiting.

Xue Chongxun stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and sighed: "As soon as this situation is chaotic, the hearts of the people of the world will be impetuous...... Liu Yuanjun, you said that in the current situation, what should we pay attention to as officials? ”

Liu An said in a deep voice: "Stand." ”

Xue Chongxun pointed at him and smiled: "Yes! Everyone and Liu Yuanjun really found the right person, Liu Yuanjun Junjie also! ”

Liu Anmian said with a needle: "Xue Lang has a good reputation, everyone is not with me Liu, Liu is just doing things according to His Highness's wishes." ”

Xue Chongxun's smile was still there, but it was getting colder and colder: "Officialdom likes to play tricks and make things clear, I will make my words clear here today, my mother looks at the overall situation, not your part." You and me now, it is the trust in me Xue, and I will not be able to treat you badly in the future. ”

Liu An said calmly: "Xue Lang forgive me, even if Liu believes you, you have to obey the public, otherwise you will disperse, do you say so?" ”

For such a tactful refusal, Xue Chongxun was not angry, and still said with a smile: "Liu Yuanjun's bet is still not bold enough, and there is not much gambling. Okay, I'm not reluctant, let's see. ”

The atmosphere had become a little stiff, and Xue Chongxun waved his way and said, "Everyone disperse, the same dynasty is the official and the day is long." ”

"Farewell." Everyone clasped their fists one after another. Only Ruzhou Thorn Shi Lu Zhu asked stupidly: "Wei Guogong, will you still receive your two percent?" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "There is no need for the time being, taking 20% is a risk, taking 70% is still a risk, I will wait for you to send 70% before receiving it." ”

After everyone dispersed, Sanniang said on the side: "Lang Jun is a little wary of Bai impermanence, she is a moody person, not very reliable, and often unruly when she was in Yuwen's house. ”

Xue Chongxun smiled: "Really, as she said, you can't get used to her playing coquettish in front of me?" ”

Sanniang's face was slightly red: "I'm just working for Lang Jun, how can I say this?" ”

Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said, "Then you must be good for Bai Wuchang?" ”

The two were silent, and Sanniang savored Xue Chongxun's last sentence thoughtfully. The night outside was already very thick, it was the darkest time before dawn, and it was another sleepless night.
