Chapter Seventy-Three: Interception

The evidence of Chen Shide's guilt that Du Zhiyi said in his mouth is his account book for the past ten years.

The old man of the Bai family has kept his back hand from the beginning, and there are a lot of ghosts and eyes of people who do business, and they are all cautious in dealing with people in the officialdom.

They put their wealth in the hands of the official family, but they always have to hold on to the handle of the official family to prevent one day from being scattered.

I just don't know if Chen Shide knows these account books.

When the Bai family sent someone to Du Zhiyi, it was full of three large boxes, and some of the papers had been yellowed, which showed that there were years.

Du Zhiyi led Zhao Ying to take a look, Zhao Ying roughly flipped through the contents of those boxes, and even Song Huaiyong frowned.

Zhao Ying sneered: "He's really not afraid of death." ”

Du Zhiyi raised his eyebrows: "These things are all recorded in his name, in addition to the sixty percent dividend of the Bai family every year, and the filial piety given to him by the Bai family during the New Year's holidays, but these things are equivalent to cash, which is enough for him to die ten times, I am afraid that they will be used to give it to others." ”

The score is certain, Chen Shide still has to use it to honor the master behind him, and the big head will not fall into Chen Shide's hands.

Zhao Ying shook his hand and threw the account book back: "These things, let's put them here first." ”

He said, "When Your Highness wants it, just ask someone to come and get it." ”

She looked up at him.

Du Zhiyi was half a head taller than her, she could only look up and raise her eyebrows slightly: "Does the third prince only plan to cooperate in the operation of the gambling house Qinglou, or do you plan to attach to me?" ”

She was so straightforward that Song Huaiyong raised his eyebrows: "Yuan Yuan." ”

As soon as Du Zhiyi raised his hand, he stopped him from talking, but said with a smile: "Your Highness has always been so straightforward? ”

"Yes." She responded categorically, "I don't love scorpion stings the most, so I can say anything, we have even negotiated the bonus of the gambling house Qinglou, and are you afraid to talk about this?" ”

I'm not afraid.

So the little girl didn't ask for anything else from him, just for money.

"I originally thought that His Highness was deep in mind and should be more stable, so I just said that I can only provide silver money for His Highness, why did this change the conversation and talk about attachment or non-attachment?"

His teasing tone was too obvious.

Zhao Ying rolled her eyes in her heart.

When they first met, she was chattering, but she thought that Du Zhiyi was a free and easy person who participated in Zen and enlightenment.

That's interesting, this man.

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, I've seen something, and the sincerity of the third prince is enough, so we should talk openly and honestly, don't you think it's right?"

Du Zhiyi made a gesture of invitation, asked the two of them to sit down on the official hat chair on the side and said, "This makes sense, so what will Your Highness say?" ”

"If you only talk to me about cooperation, then the rest of the story will not count, I will only get a bonus from you, but if you have more troublesome things in the future, we will have to talk about the silver money separately."

Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows to look at him, and said in a light tone: "If you are attached to me, then I will have my own use for the gambling house Qinglou under your name." ”

"Your Highness wants to collect intelligence, and it is more convenient for a place like the gambling house to be mixed." Du Zhiyi clicked on the armrest and put Zhao Ying's words on the tip of his tongue and tasted them carefully, "Isn't this also cooperation?" ”

"It's attachment." Zhao Ying sneered, "If you collect intelligence for me, you must obey me, and you should provide me with whatever I want." ”

"What does Your Highness mean is that when you turn around, the lion opens his mouth and asks me for a lot of silver, and I will obey it?"

Du Zhiyi's neck stiffened, and the movement of his fingertips also stopped.

Zhao Ying looked at him sideways, her eyes were heavy: "I'm not so greedy and insufficient, so I won't ask you for 100,000 taels of silver, 200,000 taels of silver." I want to use the third son, of course, I will leave you some leeway, even if it is dependent and obedient, I am not a harsh lord, I still understand this truth.

Aren't this Chen Shide and the master of the Bai family a lesson from the past? What's more, the third son is still the son-in-law of the Bofu, how can I force you step by step? ”

Du Zhiyi groaned and was speechless for a long time.

Zhao Ying waited, waited for a cup of tea, and before he could speak, she smiled: "You are not desireless, otherwise you would not have opened this mouth with me." The third son can think about it slowly, cooperate first, and then cling, I am always welcome.

But you don't have to think that I have to be you, I want to gather intelligence, and I can use these people or places for someone else.

I hit it off at first sight with the third son, so I had such a frank heart-to-heart exchange.

Since I treat people with sincerity, whether the third prince agrees or not, at least he must really think about it, so that he doesn't have to answer me in a hurry. ”

Sincere?

When this Yongjia princess said these four words, Du Zhiyi felt very funny for no reason.

How can people who work every step have any sincerity.

When I talk about people, it sounds very good, but it's not like that at all.

Du Zhiyi laughed when he heard it, looked at her for a long time, and said slowly: "Just according to His Highness's words." ”

·

Du Zhiyi sent Zhao Ying and Song Huaiyong out all the way, said a few polite words, turned around and entered another house, leaving the brothers and sisters with a back.

Zhao Ying stared at it for a while, and spread his hands: "He has a strange temperament, and it's quite difficult to figure out." ”

Song Huaiyong hummed and secretly wiped his sweat: "You just told him that, he wasn't angry, I think it's outrageous." ”

Zhao Ying was slightly stunned, carried her skirt and got into the car, her figure was stunned, and she got into the car, and when he also got into the car, she asked: "He doesn't like others to calculate him?" ”

"What do you think?"

The family is not an acquaintance, the uncle's son-in-law, and even his eldest brother is tolerant and accommodating to him everywhere, even if he is in business, I am afraid that he is the only one who calculates people, and he should not like others to calculate him.

Zhao Ying felt that it didn't matter: "He originally had the heart to rely on us." ”

Song Huaiyong understood in his heart.

He met Du Zhiyi when he was young, and in the three years he studied abroad, he was inseparable from Du Zhiyi, like a good brother, he had nothing to say, and he really made friends.

Du Zhiyi was willing to bow his head, willing to listen to Yuan Yuan's words about such a big car, if he hadn't been attached to it from the beginning, he wouldn't have reached this point.

"Kangningbo's Mansion is quite passable now, he is still somewhat decent in front of the emperor, and he can speak among the clansmen, although the uncle is not at home all the year round, but the prince is a humble person, and he will not offend anyone." Song Huaiyong took a deep breath, "But it is declining day by day, and Du San's heart still cares about the entire Conningbo Mansion." ”

"So I didn't plan to him. If he only cooperates with me, I will only protect him from being bullied, and if he clings to me, when it is done, I will give him the full glory he wants. ”

Song Huaiyong's face froze when he heard this: "Yuan Yuan, you ...... The matter of Sili Academy, His Royal Highness King Yan agreed? ”

She is so determined, she dares to open this mouth now and win people's hearts......

Sure enough, Zhao Ying nodded and said: "I have to go back and discuss with the imperial uncle, these things have to be handed over to the imperial uncle to my father, as for how to say it, I have to discuss it, so as not to turn back and have inconsistent calibers and extraneous branches." ”

Song Huaiyong calmed down: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Yan to agree to you." ”

She didn't expect Zhao Chengyan to be so happy as she agreed.

In her previous life, she boarded the gate of Yanwang's Mansion when she was running around for Zhao Che, Zhao Chengyan's attitude was indifferent, and he didn't even see her, so Changting conveyed a sentence that he stood by and watched, and asked her not to come to the door for Zhao Che's affairs in the future, so he sent her away.

Now that he turned his head, he was very happy.

Zhao Ying was a little distracted, and Song Huaiyong poked her: "You ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the carriage suddenly shook, and it was not the shock caused by the carriage galloping and running over the gravel.

Zhao Ying's body was unstable and planted forward, Song Huaiyong's long arms fished out, and when he flipped the person over, his elbow fell firmly to the ground.

He gasped in pain, and let go of the person in his arms: "Are you okay?" ”

Zhao Ying broke free from his arms with a dark face, and then went to help him.

The carriage stopped.

Xu Yan called His Highness coldly: "Someone is blocking the way." ”

Zhao Ying's heart sank.

It's not a roadblock, it's a killing!

She's been there, so there's no need to point it out.

Song Huaiyong didn't know where it was from, but it was obviously Zhao Ying's person, he heard the meaning of the words, and his scalp suddenly went numb: "Yuan Yuan ......"

Zhao Ying gritted her teeth, still helped him, and sat firmly in the car: "Are you sure?" ”

Xu Yan never left the car: "Does Your Highness want to live?" ”

"Keep your mouth alive!"

Her tone was calm, and Song Huaiyong clenched his fists: "Is it Liu Jizhi?" ”

Not necessarily.

Outside the car was the clear sound of the intersecting blades, and Zhao Ying closed his eyes.

The sword light and sword shadow of the previous life appeared in front of me in an instant.

At that time, she ascended the Taiji Hall and participated in politics, and Zhao Che's biggest reliance was on her, and they wanted her to die.

Now that she hasn't even set up the Sili Academy, someone wants to come and take her head.

The corners of Zhao Ying's lips rose, and her expression was cold.

Song Huaiyong was uneasy, he was a civil official, he couldn't fight, if it was......

But he still subconsciously blocked Zhao Ying's body: "Who is that?" Did the emperor give you the guards? ”

Zhao Ying took a deep breath: "It's Xu Yan." ”

In this situation, when he suddenly heard Xu Yan's name, Song Huaiyong stiffened.

He slowly turned his head, stared at her and asked, "Xu Yan is your secret guard?" ”

"It was Uncle Huang who allocated him to me, and he did ...... for Uncle Huang for several years"

Zhao Ying's voice stopped abruptly, and Song Huaiyong sighed: "Yuan Yuan? ”

Therefore, Zhao Chengyan allocated Xu Yan to her, and she dispatched her, not because she would use people in the future, but because she needed someone to protect her now!

Zhao Chengyan guessed.

Since that day when Taiji Hall denounced Liu Shuyi, he expected that she was walking in Beijing, and someone would take action against her!

There was a cry of pain outside the car, and Zhao Ying's thoughts were hastily interrupted.

Xu Yan's voice was as steady as ever, and after a fight, he couldn't hear half of the disordered gasp: "The person has already taken it, what does His Highness plan to do with it?" ”

"You let him be sent to the palace quietly, and don't make a noise on the surface." Zhao Ying commanded in a deep voice, "Xu Yan, don't be too far away from my carriage." ”

The people outside the car obviously hesitated for a moment, and then responded sullenly.

Song Huaiyong twisted his eyebrows: "He's not alone?" ”

"Uncle Huang has transferred twenty people to listen to Xu Yan's command, and they are all in the dark."

At this time, it was getting late, and they had not yet entered the city, and they had originally said that they would go to the Shilang's Mansion to stay for one night tonight, but now it seems that it will not be possible.

Zhao Ying pinched her eyebrows: "Cousin, send me back to Yanwang's Mansion." ”

Song Huaiyong had a stomach full of confusion and worry, but when he saw her tired face, he couldn't ask anything.

Fourteen-year-old girl, who used to only know how to eat, drink and have fun, was the most bright and cheerful, and after passing through the Shangyang Palace, in just over a month, she had endured too much.

Song Huaiyong felt sorry for her, caressed her head lovingly, and rubbed two handfuls: "Take you and Leyi to the theater tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Ying shook her head: "I'm afraid I won't be free for these two days, I know what my cousin means, but I'm fine." ”

She smiled, but it was not as bright as before, but a little bitter.

Song Huaiyong pinched her cheek lightly: "Don't laugh, it's even more uncomfortable to watch." ”

"With the Song family and my cousin behind me, and so many people who defend me and support me, this road may be difficult, but it will get better slowly."

His hand was just withdrawn, and Zhao Ying patted his little face, and the shot was flushed: "Isn't it that everything is difficult at the beginning." Someone blocked me and helped me, and I would like to thank them for killing me. ”

Song Huaiyong's face was rare and cold: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

She exhaled and smoothed out the wrinkles between his eyebrows: "Cousin, don't always frown, it's not good-looking, I'm really fine, I have expected these things for a long time, if I don't have the ability to bear it at all, I just don't say those bold words."

Where is this? Look at it, after a while, the establishment of the Si Li Yuan and the matter of me as the main business will be made in the court, and I will immediately be on the cusp of the storm, gossiping, pointing fingers, and sweeping over.

And something like it's going to kill me tonight—it's indispensable. ”

Song Huaiyong's heart moved slightly: "So His Royal Highness King Yan sent Xu Yan to protect you?" ”

Zhao Ying knew that Xu Yan was in the dark, and with her orders, he would not get too far away from her frame.

It is said that people who practice martial arts are deaf and clear-sighted, and she doesn't know if she can hear the conversation between her and her cousin in the carriage, so she doesn't really want to mention Xu Yan.

She has only been in contact with Xu Yan for a few days, and she doesn't know much about him, but she feels that he is always cold, like an emotionless ice cube.

But she still admires Xu Yan in her heart.

Although he is a concubine's child, with Xu Zhao's degree of trust and reliance in front of Emperor Zhaoning, he is outstanding in martial arts, and he will not worry about having a good future in the future, so he has to give up the name of the Xu family, participate in the martial arts examination, and make a name for himself alone.

He is a respectable man.

So she diverted the topic: "Cousin has time to listen to the play tomorrow, why don't you go and see Du Zhiyi again for me, tell him about tonight, and then bring those account books back to Yanwang's mansion." ”

Song Huaiyong sighed almost inaudibly, let her interrupt, and followed her words and stopped mentioning Xu Yan: "Du San is not afraid of things, if someone intercepts and kills you, he is not afraid, don't think about scaring him with this." ”

Zhao Ying smiled and said that it was okay: "Cousin, just convey it for me, I don't want to make him scared." ”
