Chapter 48 Iron Ore
I sat down next to Xia Ning and asked, "Who wrote this?" ”
He left the letter still on the table, tapped the words on the envelope with his fingertips, and said, "This is Xia Cen's handwriting!" ”
"Xia Cen? Who is Xia Cen? ”
"My aunt's son! My cousin! ”
I gasped, "What did he write to Liu Qianquan for?" ”
Xia Ning said: "I also want to know what he wants to do!" ”
As he spoke, Xia Ning opened the envelope and looked at it carefully.
After a while, he said: "It seems that this is not the first letter, they have been colluding for a long time!" ”
I asked curiously, "What is written in the letter?" ”
"It's a bargaining letter!"
"A bargaining letter? What do you mean? ”
"It is not difficult to see from the letter that Liu Qianquan wants to buy iron ore privately from Xia Cen, and the purchase price is twice the market price, but Xia Cen wants to sell it three times the market price, Liu Tianquan feels that the price is too high, and hopes to discuss it again, so Xia Cen replied to Liu Tianquan with this letter, three times the market price, but there is still room for negotiation!"
I asked in surprise, "What is Liu Qianquan doing when he buys iron ore privately?" ”
Xia Ning thought for a while and said, "Buy iron ore privately...... Forge a weapon ......! Liu Tianquan dared to cast weapons privately! ”
As he spoke, he slapped the table vigorously, "He's so bold!" ”
I asked, "Shall we tell the emperor?" The crime of privately casting weapons is enough for him to punish the nine clans! ”
"Don't worry, this letter alone doesn't mean anything!"
"What then? Let him collude with foreign enemies! Do you want to forge weapons privately! ”
At this time, Feng Shu walked in and said, "Your Highness, the palace people really don't know anything, it seems that they are just a messenger!" ”
Xia Ning said to Feng Shu: "Go and prepare paper and ink!" ”
"Yes!"
Then, Feng Shu put the paper and ink on the table and asked, "What does Your Highness command?" ”
Xia Ning said: "In this first letter, you imitated Xia Cen's handwriting and wrote it to Liu Tianquan, saying, since you don't accept triple the market price, then don't talk about it, I have more buyers here; In this second letter, you imitated Hua Muning's handwriting and wrote it to Xia Cen, saying that you were willing to buy iron ore privately from him at three times the market price; This third letter, written by me to Liu Qianquan, is willing to sell his iron ore in Xia Kingdom at twice the market price! ”
As he spoke, Xia Ning and Feng Shu began to write, and I looked at them suspiciously.
After Xia Ning finished writing, I asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”
Xia Ning said proudly: "Didn't Liu Tianquan want to buy iron ore privately? Since they are all iron ore in Xia Kingdom, what is the difference between my iron ore and Xia Cen's iron ore? This first letter was that I rejected Liu Qianquan on behalf of Xia Cen and broke off their deal; Xia Cen will look for the next buyer without Liu Qianquan, so in this second letter, I asked Fengshu to imitate Hua Muning's handwriting to write to Xia Cen, and as the prince of Huaqiao Kingdom, he bought iron ore privately from him at three times the market price; Liu Qianquan didn't buy iron ore from Xia Cen, so he would ask other people in Xia Guo to buy it, so this third letter was written to Liu Tianquan as Xia Ning, and I was willing to sell him iron ore at twice the market price! ”
He smiled and continued: "In the future, I will be two identities, on the one hand, I will buy iron ore from Xia Cen as Hua Muning, the prince of Huaqiao Kingdom, and on the other hand, I will sell the iron ore to Liu Tilting Quan as Xia Ning, the son of Xia Kingdom, so that all the evidence of Liu Tilting Quan and Xia Cen's collusion with foreign enemies to resell iron ore is in my hands!" Hum! Xia Cen, this kid! Dare to collude with foreign enemies to sell Xia Guo's iron ore privately! See if I go back and don't clean him up! ”
Feng Shu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Highness, this move is really high!" Subordinates admire! ”
I looked at Xia Ning in surprise, "You are going around and around, what three times or two times, you are all confusing me...... Still don't understand why you're doing this! ”
Xia Ning said with a smile: "Anyway, you just need to know that Liu Tianquan is colluding with foreign enemies to buy iron ore privately!" And what I'm doing now is to gather evidence of his crimes! ”
Then, he said to Feng Shu: "This first letter, you will give it to the palace man later, and let him continue to send it to Liu Tianquan, as if nothing had happened; the second letter, delivered to Xia Cen three days later; The third letter was sent to Liu Tilt Quan five days later. Remember, you must let him know that this was sent to him from Xia Guo! ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
Feng Shu took the letter and left.
Suddenly...... I seemed to understand a little bit and said, "This ...... The foreign enemy of the collusion between Liu and Xia Cen...... Isn't it all you? You want them all under your control! ”
Xia Ning took a sip of tea with a confident face, and I said again: "But...... How can you be sure that they will believe it? ”
Xia Ning said: "Xia Cen is a person...... He was in need of money, so he wanted to sell iron ore at three times the market price! ”
"What does he want money for?"
"To win over relationships and encircle forces, you need money to do it! Since my father handed over the king's battle to me, he relied on his aunt to be able to speak in front of his father, so he thought about forming a gang and winning people's hearts in order to seek a chance to turn over! So, he needs money! Therefore, I first cut off his deal with Liu Tianquan, and then bought iron ore from him privately at three times the market price as Hua Muning, and he will definitely sell it, because I am not in Xia Kingdom at this time, it is a good opportunity for him to win people's hearts! On the other hand, Liu Tingquan thought that Xia Cen's selling price was too high, and it just so happened that I used Xia Ning's identity to sell him iron ore at twice the market price, why didn't he do it? ”
"Aren't you trading at a loss! Buying at three times the market price and selling at twice the market price means losing twice the market price? ”
Xia Ning said with a smile: "Anyway, Hua Mu Ning has money!" ”
"You! It turns out that you have already calculated it! How can you use the money of the prince's brother! ”
"His money, he doesn't need it, and no one helps him use it. As long as the Liu family can be brought down, what is it to sacrifice this little property! ”
"But ......"
"Alright...... Don't worry, Shangqing Palace can't lose! ”
Xia Ning hugged me in his arms and said, "With me here, what are you worried about." ”
Although I heard Xia Ning say this, I still felt weird.
How can all this be so coincidental?
Why did the palace man who delivered the letter just bump into me? Xia Ning found out that his younger brother was colluding with foreign enemies, why was he so calm? Also, these three letters, as if everything is logical, and as if ...... Everything was arranged!
Ay! My head hurts!
I rubbed my temples, and Xia Ning asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Headache!"
"Why do you suddenly have a headache?"
"I don't know! Maybe it's because there are too many things happening today! ”
"Don't think so much, everything has me! Liu Tianquan's private purchase of iron ore is a big crime, and what we need to do now is to collect evidence of his crimes! Xia Cen, this kid, colluded with foreign enemies to resell iron ore, and I just took this opportunity to clean him up! ”
"But ......"
"Well, you must be too tired! It's not early, go back early and rest. ”
"Hmm!"
Then I got up and left.
