The question mentioned by the eldest young master, whether it was himself or Young Master Chu Ran, neither of them could give a clear answer.

It's also very ashamed to say that the people behind this layout have been traced for many years, and now they not only don't know what the other party means by laying out this bureau, what kind of purpose it has, they don't even know what this person looks like and what his origin is. They had speculated that maybe it wasn't a person, but an organization, but it was just speculation, and there was no evidence at all.

The two men looked at each other for a long time, and at the same time showed a wry smile.

"Hey, it's too early to say this, forget it, forget it." Young Master Chu Ran waved his hand, "Asking this kind of question is purely disgusting to yourself, and it makes me more and more incompetent." He sighed softly, "When I think of this, I feel sorry for the imperial grandfather and the imperial brother, we have betrayed their trust in us." ”

"You can't say that, the other party is like a mouse in the gutter, never showing up, it is not easy for us to get to this point, don't be presumptuous, I believe that the emperor's grandfather and brother will be very considerate of us." The eldest young master picked up the pile of paper that was thrown on the table by Young Master Chu Ran and quickly browsed it, "Huh? What's going on with that housekeeper and personal servant in Yan Yuan's mansion? Yan Yuan sold this house? If I'm not mistaken, this house is reserved for Xiaofeng, right? ”

"Yes!" Young Master Chu Ran nodded, "That housekeeper and the little servant are all greedy, they carried Yan Yuan's loser behind their backs, and sold a lot of calligraphy and painting collections left by the old Yan Tou, on the surface, they paid off those foreign debts for Yan Yuan, but in fact, most of them filled their own pockets and cheapened themselves." He raised an eyebrow at the eldest young master, "Brother doesn't know yet, right?" These evil slaves who betrayed their masters, but they set up houses in Jiangnan respectively, and waited for the Yan Mansion to decline to pieces, and they could go back to be masters. ”

"Be a master? They don't deserve it! The eldest young master sneered, "But why did they suddenly remember this house in the suburbs?" ”

"It's not sudden, is it? After all, Lao Yan's collection doesn't have much, so he can't afford to toss them so much, and he has already sold it cleanly. Yan Yuan's foreign debts are almost repaid, but there will be a steady stream of new debts, right? Yan Yuan is a good gambler, he has never quit for so many years, if he doesn't sell his house or land, I'm afraid he really won't be able to hold on. ”

"So you hit Xiaofeng's idea?" The eldest young master shook his head, "Tell our people, let a few children know about the situation of these betrayed slaves in a secret way, and don't let them be distracted by such an unworthy matter." ”

"Okay." Young Master Chu Ran nodded, "In addition to these things, there is one more thing. Xiao Jue, Hao Lin and Xiao Cha have already negotiated the conditions with Wan Yan Xi, if they can help Wan Yan Xi return to Yiqing Mansion and dare Wan Yan Ping out of the palace, Jin Guo will hand over the 15 border passes to us as a reward, and ensure that there will be no war between Xia and Jin in the next 100 years. ”

"Fifteen border gates?" The eldest young master frowned slightly, "Is it ceded to us?" Can the golden people of the fifteen levels who have been ceded agree? Is this a reward for us, or a hot potato for us? In the past 100 years, there will be no need to fight, and quelling the civil strife will be enough for us to have a headache. He looked at Young Master Chu Ran, "Such a big trap, the children can't see it?" ”

"Naturally, I can see it." Young Master Chu Ran sighed, "Brother, don't underestimate these children of ours, they are all better than monkeys, but they like to pretend to be stupid and stunned on weekdays." ”

"What's that way of describing that?" The eldest young master couldn't cry or laugh, "The children are all monkey spirits, so what are we?" Old monkey spirit? ”

"Isn't it?" Young Master Chu Ran smiled evilly, "What about them, they didn't agree to cede it, they proposed to take custody, and when the border gate returned to normal, they would return it to the Jin State." ”

"Escrow?" The eldest young master thought for a while and nodded slightly, "It's a good idea." ”

"yes!" Young Master Chu Ran smiled, "I said they were monkey spirits, right?" This kind of thing is completely based on the mood of the escrow party, the sovereignty is in our hands, and when we are in a good mood, we reluctantly look at it twice, and if we are not happy, we will pick a pick. Moreover, these children have a lot more eyes than us, even if they are escrow, they are conditional. ”

"What other conditions have you proposed?"

"They proposed that before the Great Xia side officially took over the selected fifteen passes, they had to get the household registration register of the permanent residents of the fifteen passes, and the Jin side must obtain the consent of these permanent residents, let each of them sign the consent form, and they would check it against the household registration register, and if one less person agreed, the matter would be stopped."

"Sure enough, it's a monkey spirit, such a bad move, it's not like a well-behaved child like Haolin and Xiaocha, nine times out of ten it was Xiao Jue and Xiao Baizi who came up with it, or it was Xiaoyun's child, they are all eccentric boys."

"My brother guessed wrong this time." Young Master Chu Ran waved his hand, "This is the meaning of Xiaocha, our people said that she never believed Wan Yan Xi from beginning to end, and cooperating with him was just to drive Wan Yan Ping down and ensure the peace of the Great Xia Border Pass for decades." ”

"The people of the Wanyan family are even more untrustworthy than the people of the Yelu family in the Liao Kingdom, at least the people of the Yelu family can do what they say and keep their promises, so Xiaocha made friends with Yelu Lan and Yelu Nan, and we did not oppose or interfere. But the Wanyan family is different, and the backlash is engraved in their bones. The eldest young master sneered, "Looking at what Yan Ping has done during this time, isn't it very illustrative of this?" ”

"What my brother said is that the people of the Wanyan family don't deserve anyone's trust." Young Master Chu Ran nodded, "Since they have already decided, is it necessary for us to cooperate with them next?" ”

"Hmm!" The eldest young master picked up the hot tea he had just added and took a sip, "Tell our people, what the people of the little tea want to do, don't stop it, let them do it." Wan Yanping's current situation is not very good, so let's add a handful of firewood to make her more sad. ”

"Brother, I think what the royal brother and the acting royal brother said is not wrong at all." Young Master Chu Ran shook his head helplessly, "Xiao Jue really follows your temperament!" ”

"Am I bad like this?" The eldest young master chuckled, "Also, find an opportunity to knock on the Teng family, let them recognize their identities and don't act out of line." If they have other thoughts, Wan Yanping will be their end. ”

"Yes!"
