Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Night Visit to the Maze
Sweeping the back of Fu Shugu's departure, he smiled. Although he came as a distinguished guest, he was not a distinguished guest who came to help him rise to the top, but a distinguished guest who took his life.
Pick up an urn of tea and twist the lid of the urn and slowly slide it over the rim of the cup. Suppressing the curtains of the eyes obscured the memories between the beads' pupils.
While pondering, the sound of footsteps came to my ears from far and near. The side eyes happened to meet Ye Linchen's puzzled gaze, and a smile appeared between the beaded pupils of his eyes.
Sleek as Fu Shugu led Ye Linchen to sit down, and he and Xia Fu sat down on both sides of the head. Ye Linchen was present, even if Fu Shugu had a lot of hidden thoughts, he could only give up and deal with Ye and Xia with all his might at this moment.
Xia Fu had seen Xie Yaoguang before, and when he saw her here, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why is Miss Xie here?"
"Talking about business" Glaring at him, Xie Yaoguang's voice was particularly indifferent, "Xia Shangshu won't even care about this, right?" My Xie family is a businessman. ”
"How do you know each other? It seems that I don't need to introduce ......," Fu Shugu smiled rehe.
Although after investigation, Fu Shugu knew that Xie Yaoguang was indeed from the Xie family in Luoyang, and he had heard a little about her in the capital, but he didn't expect Xie Yaoguang and Xia Fu to know each other.
"Nope. Of course, this official is a mediocre talent, and Miss Xie can't climb it. Miss Tse...... But ......"
The words are not finished. Ye Linchen coughed lightly and interrupted what he wanted to say, Xia Fu looked at him in surprise, "Your Highness? But there's something uncomfortable. ”
"Nope." Ye Linchen's gaze turned on Xie Yaoguang, and finally returned to Fu Shugu, and said, "I just had a little discomfort in my throat just now." ”
Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him, and suddenly withdrew it, with a slight smile on his lips.
Fu Shugu didn't know too much, but he smiled heartily when he saw this. Then he clapped his hands and signaled the maid to enter with the dishes, and the orchids in the house walked in from both sides of the hall, and they saw the charm in every gesture.
In particular, the dancing girl who led the dance was as charming as silk, and only the bell sound was heard under the folded waist of her sleeves, not only her steps were light, but her wrist movements were also extremely flexible. Before this dance stopped, the person had already moved to Ye Linchen's position inch by inch.
Xie Yao's eyes flashed with a narrow smile, and his fingers slid over the rim of the cup.
Suzaku who was standing behind him instantly realized, and the hand hidden in his sleeve snapped out with a flick of his fingers, and sporadic snow hit the crook of the right leg and foot of the dancing girl, she staggered and fell to the ground, looking at Ye Linchen with a painful face. The apricot eyes revealed sadness and pain, and in the blink of an eye, tears rained down.
Before Ye Linchen could speak, Fu Shugu stood up and turned his gaze to the dancing girl, and scolded: "Your guest is here!" What do you want to do, slut, why don't you get out of here. ”
Maihime wanted to open her mouth to argue. But when she touched Fu Shugu's dark and inexplicable gaze, she hurriedly shook her head with a chill down her spine, and was still dragged out mercilessly by the family in the house.
Xie Yaoguang's eyes sank and blew away the mist rising from the teacup, and the cold smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
The hours passed in the narrative. Ye and Xia had another matter to deal with, so they didn't pay for Shugu, as for Xie Yaoguang, he already hated him, so he also found an excuse to leave.
To the willows, the sound of oars and lights on the bustling Qinhuai River sounded together. The cries of the street vendors were mixed with the aroma of food wafting into his nose, Xie Yaoguang was dressed in a vermilion beard and mixed with the red bird in the crowd, and arrived at the post house where Ye Linchen lived after a while.
Ye Linchen was slightly surprised when he saw her, and his eyes saw Xia Fu looking at the two of them suspiciously. Shen Yin Shaoqing suppressed his doubts, and slowly left with her with a calm expression under Xia Fu's gaze.
The lights are scorching, and the pedestrians are weaving. The long street in the corner of the square is full of people, noisy and prosperous. The Qinhuai waterway is endless, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is also endless.
"Miss Xie, is there something wrong with inviting me at this time?" After looking at Xie Yaoguang for a while, he asked after a while.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, so it is naturally a good time to watch a play." Xie Yaoguang narrowed his eyes and smiled gracefully, "Your Highness, would you like to go to the maze with Xie Moudao?"
The maze building is equivalent to the gold cave in the hands of Fu Shugu, and it is also the cash cow of King Shou, and the speed of collecting money is staggering.
It's a pity that Nafu Shugu has always been cautious, in order to prevent people from escaping the maze, the maze was deliberately set up in a barren mountain, and there is only one way to enter and exit the maze. The people sent by Xie Yaoguang explored many times before they determined the location of the maze building.
Although Ye Linchen's mind is not as active as Shouwang's, he is better than his mind. When Xie Yaoguang sent him a message earlier, asking him to ask for orders to come to Jinling with Xia Fu to inspect the salt business, he vaguely guessed some signs. Listening to Xie Yaoguang first, he confirmed his inner thoughts.
Jinling is different. And Xie Yaoguang's plan is to purge all forces in Jinling again.
The entire Jinling officialdom is like a puddle of muddy water, and the upper and lower sides are in causf. Just like the news brought by Gu Qingzhi, what was revealed was only the tip of the iceberg, and there was more darkness hidden under the snow. However, if you want to melt the entire iceberg, you have to go deep into the tiger's den.
"To be honest, I still want to thank you," he paused, raised his eyes to look at Xie Yaoguang, and said in a deep voice.
"The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king" Xie Yao narrowed his eyes and said: "But there is something I still have to tell Your Highness." I can't control how dangerous the road is today, but since I dare to go deep into the tiger's den, I have a way to retreat. ”
Xie Yaoguang's words are true. According to her plan, she used the purchase of Xia Bu as a bait to lure him to take the bait and terminate the entire silk industry and change the weaving of Xia Bu.
When the Fu family completed the Xia Bu, the person who bought the Xia Bu disappeared. He immediately released the news to buy Yunjin at a high price to start the follow-up plan. If Fu Shugu wants to take the Xie family's boat, he has to do business with her, and at the moment, the Fu family will definitely not be able to come up with so many cloud brocades. Most of the past behaviors of Yifu Shugu were to use Xia Bu as a cloud brocade to buy for themselves.
Those who are businessmen have no integrity at all, and they can basically be regarded as cutting off their financial routes.
As for the trip to the maze, although it was not a temporary idea, because of the hasty layout, there were still many things that could not be deployed in time, so we could only take risks.
Staring at her for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "You know my mind." I'm not going to back down from that. ”
The two of them got into the carriage hidden in the corner of the square and went to the maze together, and Zhuo Jing led the people to go to the maze in disguise to explore the way. When they arrived, the moon hung high in the sky. There was silence around and no human voices were heard, only the neighing of night owls.
handed the prepared Rakshasa ghost face to Ye Linchen and motioned for him to put it on. In the blink of an eye, the faces of both of them were covered by the Rakshasa masks, and Xie Yaoguang's fingertips swept across the raised Rakshasa horns on the mask all the way to the mouth of the hideous fangs, his gaze slightly Ling.
Reaching out and rubbing among the grass, he found a palm-sized firework stick, lit it, and watched the brilliant fireworks burst into the air with a slight smile in his eyes.
He glanced at the Vermilion Bird and walked into the forest with Ye Linchen.
