Chapter 641: Night Terror
"Son, you can rest, give you stewed white fungus lotus seed soup, you drink it while it's hot, it's not good when it's cold."
"Leave it at that, I'll drink it later." Meng Yan was checking the account books of Luomei Villa under the lamp.
"Okay." Shen Cong closed the door and retreated.
There are a lot of businesses involved in Luomei Villa, as long as it is a profitable industry, it is all mixed in.
Opening brothels and gambling houses, these traditional businesses that make money quickly must be indispensable.
Selling illicit salt, steel, this kind of losing heads, is not less.
The key is that there is a Chengguo Mansion behind it, and the steel smuggling business is very large, from Japan in the east to Luzon in the south.
Doing these businesses can not be done without armed escort, so Luomei Villa has raised a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, and once something happens, they will come in handy.
Meng Yan originally planned to wipe out Luomei Villa directly, but now it seems that it is completely wrong.
The core of Luomei Villa is not Luomei Villa itself, but it is a huge business network.
He had nothing more than destroyed the headquarters of the Fallen Plum Villa.
The headquarters was destroyed, but the industries of Luomei Villa were still there all over the country, and these industries were far more valuable than the gold and silver treasures lying in the treasure house of Luomei Villa.
Meng Yan could hand over these gold and silver treasures, but he would not hand them over.
(With such a large business network, he had to be put at the helm of a trustworthy and reassuring person.)
Meng Yan carefully sorted out the people around him, there are such people, but they are indeed in key positions, and they can't leave.
It's nerve-wracking now, where can I find such a person to take over the industry of Luomei Villa?
Moreover, this can be taken over without saying that it can be connected, but there are many people who are still working for Luomei Villa?
A stranger will take over these properties. Can these people below willingly obey your command?
This is a very nerve-wracking thing, and if it really doesn't work, I can only let Wen Xiaoyu come over and take over the industry of Luomei Villa.
Meng Yan knows better than anyone else the direction of the future world economy, so he doesn't need things like land at all. Handed over to the emperor, it can also win trust.
Meng Yan didn't plan to keep the gray industries in those brothels and casinos, so he handed them over.
Although these businesses are profitable, they are always on the sidelines, and if you want to have a long-term career, it is best not to take this kind of path.
In later generations, these side doors are also preserved, but who has become famous by this kind of business that is not on the table?
And what he doesn't look down on is what people in this era desperately want to get. That's a matter of vision.
Who can know as clearly as he what the direction of development of the future era is?
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"
"Who?" Meng Yan was thinking about how to deal with these industries, and suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door outside, and it seemed to be Liu Ye'er, the maid beside Wang Yingxue.
"Miss Willow Ye'er, what's wrong?"
"My lord, Madame vomited blood!" Liu Ye'er's little face turned pale, and she said in a panic.
"Vomited blood. Let's go, let's see! Meng Yan was taken aback. It was fine just now, why did you vomit blood in the blink of an eye?
Meng Yan closed the door, followed Liu Ye'er quickly, and walked towards Wang Yingxue's room.
In the room, Wang Yingxue was lying on the soft couch, her face as pale as paper. There was a trace of black blood at the corner of his mouth, and on the floor, a pool of black blood came into view, which was very dazzling.
"Ma'am. How about you, Ye'er invited Master Meng here! Liu Ye'er ran over, leaned down, and asked with concern.
"Ye'er, who told you to trouble Master Meng?" Wang Yingxue slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "I'm fine, you don't have to be so nervous." ”
"Yingxue Jushi, the official is actually here, then let the official give you a pulse." Meng Yan came to the bed and said.
"It's so late, and you're still working as an adult, and you really shouldn't be a concubine."
"What did Yingxue Jushi say, you have done the official such a big favor, and the official hasn't thanked you properly!" Meng Yan smiled and stretched out his hand, gently lifting the cuffs, revealing a jade-like wrist.
"The layman is caused by internal injuries and worries, and it is a good thing to spit out this mouthful of blood, so the willow leaf girl does not need to panic, but the layman has not eaten all day, and his body is naturally weak, I have a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup in my room, and I bother the willow leaf girl to fetch it, and give it to Yingxue to eat, and it will naturally get better." Meng Yan gently pulled down his sleeves.
"My lord, how embarrassing is this, how can the concubine eat the adult's supper?"
"Yingxue Jushi rest assured, the white fungus lotus seed soup didn't eat a bite, it was just sent by Shen Cong."
"Madam, if your lordship is so kind, why do you refuse?" Liu Yeer said.
"Well, thank you, then."
Liu Ye'er turned around and went to get the white fungus lotus seed soup again.
"When Yingxue Jushi came back to Mei'an, did he want to use himself as bait to lure Luo Yufan out?" Meng Yan asked.
"It's really something that can't be hidden from the eyes of adults, and the concubine body does have an idea." Wang Yingxue said, "With the concubine's understanding of him, if he knew that it was the concubine who betrayed Luomei Villa, he would definitely find a concubine to take revenge, it is because of the concubine that his mother has not yet stepped into Luomei Villa, and he doesn't even have the title of being a concubine for Luoyingqi, so he has always hated me, and if I was in the province, he wouldn't dare to come to me lightly even if he wanted revenge, and now, I am injured, he will definitely come." ”
"So you went to see the people of the Luo family, the purpose was to let them pass on the news to Luo Yufan, it was you who betrayed Luomei Villa and was seriously injured?"
"Yes, you're right." Wang Yingxue's eyes were full of strange lights, she really didn't expect that this little bit of her mind would be seen through by the young Jinyi Wei in front of her, such a person is too terrible.
Fortunately, now that they are not enemies, how painful should it be for someone to be Meng Yan's enemy?
"It's too dangerous for you to do this, and you don't know when Luo Yufan will come, if this person is really deceitful, maybe he won't think that this is a trap?" Meng Yan Road.
"He will come, as long as the concubine returns to Luomei Nunnery, within three days, he will definitely come. If he waited for the concubine's injuries to heal, he would have no chance. Wang Yingxue said.
"What do you need to do?"
"There is only one chance to seize Luo Yufan, and that is ......," Wang Yingxue whispered to Meng Yan.
"No, it's too dangerous." Meng Yan shook his head and flatly refused.
"My lord, if he had noticed that your man was on the mountain, he would never have gone up the mountain. I know Luo Yufan, he is cunning and vicious, but he is a very careful person, and he is very familiar with it here, and his eyes are everywhere, so all the adults must withdraw from the plum blossom hermitage, otherwise he will not take the bait! ”
"But in this way, the layman is very dangerous."
"He's not going to kill me. At least not yet, if you arrest me, he will negotiate with adults, he is a very ambitious person, and he will not ask for an adult to ask for an exchange for Luo Yingqi, and the concubine guesses that he will ask for a sum of money from adults......"
"Madam, the white fungus lotus seed soup is here!" Liu Ye'er came over with a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup. Wang Yingxue quickly changed the topic, "I didn't expect the adult's medical skills to be so exquisite." The concubine body is really inscribed. ”
"Yingxue Jushi praised it falsely, this is what this official should do." Meng Yan hurriedly said, this Liu Ye'er is Wang Yingxue's personal maid, and it stands to reason that she should be able to be trusted, why did Wang Yingxue immediately avoid talking about Liu Ye'er when she saw it?
There's something weird about that. Meng Yan paid a little attention to Liu Ye'er, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
From Wang Yingxue's room to her own room, there is only a distance of dozens of meters in the middle, and it doesn't take long to go back and forth, and half a cup of tea is enough.
But just now he had enough tea to talk to Wang Yingxue. So, where did she go and what did she do during half a cup of tea?
"Miss Liuye, did you go to my room just now and see my attendant Shen Cong?" Meng Yan asked casually and tentatively.
"Oh, no, my lord, when Ye'er went, no one was seen." Liu Ye'er was startled for a moment and hurriedly replied.
Meng Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Liu Ye'er's reaction was a little unusual.
"Yingxue Jushi, the official still has something to do, you eat this white fungus lotus seed soup and sleep well." Meng Yan got up and said goodbye.
"Your Excellency, please take care of it, Ye'er, send it to my lord!" Wang Yingxue commanded Liu Ye'er.
"Yes, ma'am." Liu Ye'er lowered her head, "My lord, please!" ”
"Miss Liuye, what do you want to say to you, let's go out and borrow a step to talk?" Meng Yan Road.
"Oh, good." Liu Ye'er's expression was a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to disobey Meng Yan's wishes, so she had to walk out with Meng Yan.
"Miss Liu Ye'er, how about going to the official's study?"
Liu Ye'er nodded silently.
Just as the figures of Meng Yan and Liu Ye'er disappeared from the staircase, a black shadow quietly came to the door of Wang Yingxue's room.
Pushing the door in, Wang Yingxue, who was sitting on the soft couch and drinking white fungus lotus seed soup, suddenly raised her head, and the soup bowl in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me, my good stepmother, I didn't expect it to be here at this time, I heard what you said to that dog officer just now, haha, you didn't expect it, right?" The visitor couldn't help but laugh proudly.
It's just that he didn't dare to be too loud, there were brocade guards everywhere in this Juying Pavilion, and if he alarmed the other party, he would be covered with wings and wouldn't be able to fly out.
"You, how did you get in?" Wang Yingxue asked in surprise.
"My good stepmother, how did you bring those brocade guards in, that's how I got in." Luo Yufan smiled, and his slightly lewd gaze lingered on Wang Yingxue's bumpy figure.
"Luo Yufan, what do you want to do, I'm your stepmother!" Feeling the ill-intentioned in Luo Yufan's eyes, Wang Yingxue scolded angrily.
"Stepmother, haha, are you still qualified to be my stepmother Luo Yufan, you have been divorced by my father, and you have been divorced for the crime of seven out of adultery, you are now a whore who can be a husband!" Luo Yufan scolded.
"You, you!"
"I'm talking nonsense, do you want me to invite my dad over to confront you?" Luo Yufan laughed, "Also, you have been eye-to-eye with that dog official surnamed Meng, it is clear that you have had a personal affair for a long time, in order to please your little lover, let him use the head and blood of our Luo family to stain his black gauze hat, what do you do, it is simply a loss of conscience!" ”
"I have lost my conscience, what have your father and son and the Luo family done over the years, you don't know it, the evil things you have done are called the loss of conscience!" Wang Yingxue angrily reprimanded. (To be continued......) R1292
