"Mrs. Zhao...... In this matter, I also want to tell you the truth, in fact, the matter of private food payment was made to do this by the wind. Chu Xiao said suddenly, it seemed that the squid was half-loud before he planned to say it.

Yao Yuran's eyes widened, and he was so shocked that he couldn't do it, "You said it was Brother Chengfeng's idea?" How would he know I was in charge of this? We only met last night, and you must have lied to make me accept it. ”

Yao Yuran didn't believe that Mu Chengfeng would have the opportunity to talk to Chu Xiao about this, because the time was not right at all, and he only found out about Prime Minister Wen Cheng's robbery of the grain disaster last night, how could there be such a gap?

Chu Xiao came out of nowhere, "It was he who made me do a good job, I went to you last night just because I didn't want you and Lord Zhao to interfere in this matter, and I would persuade you with good intentions, but it was not my intention to give out the silver two, it was I who met Chengfeng in the second half of the night, and he asked me to pay private money to stop you from jumping into the fire pit." ”

"Brother Chengfeng's family is in the middle of the road, although he is married to a princess, the princess is not valued by the emperor, and her life is not as rich as before, there is not much silver in the house to pay for it, one thousand taels is not a number, Lord Chu, don't you lie and don't make drafts?"

Yao Yuran complained, still not believing Chu Xiao's words, but Chu Xiao patiently explained, "Yes, Chengfeng is not so much silver taels, but he can borrow from me, who am I, Chu Xiao, who is the person who made a fortune by buying and selling news in the rivers and lakes, one thousand taels is only one-third for me, and it is more than enough to lend." ”

Afraid that Yao Yuran wouldn't believe it, Chu Xiao also briefly mentioned the matter of repaying the favor, "Of course, I didn't borrow the wind silver for no reason, it was because their Mufu had a life-saving grace for our Chu family back then, as for what kind of grace it was, I didn't mention it in the past, I am repaying virtue with virtue, how can I lie, do you think I am like a generous person on weekdays?" ”

Chu Xiao also deliberately shook the fan and fanned it lightly on his chest a few times, squinting his eyes and asking, Yao Yuran and Ye Junjun stared at him for a long time, and finally spit out his opinion, "It's not like!" ”

"That's right!" Chu Xiao put away the fan, held it in his hand, and said, "Speaking of which, I myself have part of the reason, you all know that I Chu Xiao is most tired of dealing with officialdom in my life, which is nothing more than disgust with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and I am afraid that once I get involved, I will be in danger and cannot be excused." ”

"The 1,000 taels of silver lent out also have the right to be willing to make an honest officialdom friend to Lord Zhao, take people's money, and eliminate disasters for others, if there is anything wrong in the future, I hope that Lord Zhao can come forward to settle it for me, and this 1,000 taels can also be regarded as an indirect "bribe". ”

"You really know how to plan, giving out this thousand taels of silver is like killing two birds with one stone, not only repaying the favor of Mufu but also helping yourself find officialdom to rely on, Lord Chu Lou, you are really the rumored treacherous businessman." Yao Yuran couldn't help but joke.

Ye Junjun bumped Chu Xiao with his arm, and warned with a look in his eyes, "Chu Xiao, what do you want to bribe Brother Hengzhi with this thousand taels, is it possible that you also want to be like those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and use them to do bad things?" Then you'd better die of this heart, I'll never let you do that. ”

"Wronged, my eldest sister!" Chu Xiao raised his sworn hand and promised, "If I really have that kind of mind, I will step on dog shit every day when I go out in the future."

, It's just that some things need to be solved through power, and black and white can save face, and it can better solve private matters. ”

"Like what?" Ye Junjun pursued it to the end, for fear that Chu Xiao would hide from her in private to do bad things.

Chu Xiao doted on her, and said affectionately, "For example, in order to marry you, Junjun, although I have money but no power, I don't know if General Ye can afford me, if I can make a friend in officialdom, I must be able to enter his eyes, Lord Zhao is an upright person, I am friends with him, and your father will be a lot more pleased." ”

Ye Junjun was amused by Chu Xiao's sweet words, bowed his head and said shyly, "So you think so, then this thousand taels is worth it, if my father knows that you are a person, he will definitely rest assured that he will hand me over to you!" ”

"For you, don't say a thousand taels, I'm willing to put all my home in, as long as General Ye approves of me and you love me, it's all worth it." Chu Xiao took advantage of the situation to say, but was punched in the chest by Ye Junjun's pink fist.

"Are you stupid or not, put all your net worth into it, do you want me to live a hard life with you in the future? I don't want to! ”

"Junjun, did you take the initiative to marry me? I seem to see that the day is coming to welcome you in! Chu Xiao seized the opportunity to say, making Ye Junjun shy, and being slapped again.

"I hate that I didn't say that!"

"I hear it all!"

"You talk nonsense!"

……

"You ......" Yao Yuran was left out in the cold, witnessing the whole process of their flirting and scolding, how can she say that a disaster relief and repayment can be so sweet, she drew three black lines on her forehead, but let them go.

After a long while, Chu Xiao finally took time out of the affectionate flirting and scolding, and took the initiative to make decisions for Yao Yuran.

"Mrs. Zhao, this matter is so decided, for everyone's safety, as long as Lord Zhao doesn't mention this matter and doesn't stubbornly deal with it, none of us will mention it, as for the sinister old thief of Prime Minister Wen, I Chu Xiao believe that there is a heavenly harvest!"

"The times are like this, and we can only do this!" Ye Junjun hugged Chu Xiao, put his face in his arms, and echoed Jun.

Yao Yuran was given goosebumps by this scene, she seriously doubted whether Ye Junjun was a modern person, otherwise how could she be so straightforward and explicit.

The two persuaded like this, and Zhao Hengzhi did not mention the thorough investigation of the lost disaster grain, Yao Yuran thought of the parents of the two families, if they were threatened by Prime Minister Wen because of this, the status of the imperial court would not be guaranteed, and Zhao Hengzhi's position as a county commander would be threatened.

Yao Yuran finally retracted the heart of the Holy Mother who had been lost, and finally agreed to their proposal.

After all, his arms can't reach his thighs, if he does something that he can't do without considering the cause and effect, it will indeed drag down a lot of people, Yao Yuran is still selfish in this matter.

In the prosperous restaurant, Chu Xiao relied on the balcony to drink, and all kinds of appetizers were already on the table, and he was waiting for someone to sit down.

Chu Xiao, who seemed to be waiting for people casually, actually had his eyes glanced at all kinds of people downstairs many times, and the walkers were in a hurry

, he is waiting for the appearance of Mu Chengfeng.

A brocade figure appeared in the crowd, which finally made his eyes light up, the corners of Chu Xiao's lips hooked up a smile, and he grabbed a cauliflower with chopsticks, chewing it leisurely and swallowing slowly.

After a while, the brocade figure finally appeared opposite him, his gaze moved upward, and he had a cold face, and his thin lips asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Sit down, I did a good deed and wanted to talk to you!" Chu Xiao waved leisurely and let Mu Chengfeng sit down.

The other party sat down according to his wishes, his expression still did not ease in the slightest, raised his wine glass and took a sip, staring at Chu Xiao, waiting for him to speak.

Chu Xiao leaned on the back chair, put on a comfortable appearance, and said in an inviting tone, "I know that Mrs. Zhao went to you last night and told you that the food disaster was robbed by Prime Minister Wen, don't you want her to interfere?" ”

"I don't want her to interfere and expose the dirty things that Prime Minister Wen has done, I should solve it alone, since you have said it all here, I hope you can do me a favor, help me watch Yu Ran, thoroughly investigate the food disaster, and don't let her interfere in a single step!"

Mu Chengfeng took advantage of the situation to speak, worried, and had to ask Chu Xiao to help, these words were in Chu Xiao's arms, I saw him smile proudly, and said the reason why he wanted to see him today.

"Don't worry, I have helped you solve this matter, the food disaster, I have already except for a part of the private money for Lord Zhao to soothe the hearts of the people, and I have also successfully persuaded Mrs. Zhao to take care of the nosy affairs, although she was full of enthusiasm at the beginning, but later she also considered the overall situation, listened to my words and chose to protect herself and the people around her, Mrs. Zhao is still very aware of the situation."

"That's good!" Hearing this, the stone that Mu Chengfeng was carrying in his heart finally fell, raised his glass and drank, relaxed, but he was not surprised by the thousand taels that Chu Xiao gave out, but he was just grateful for his help.

"Thank you for doing me a big favor, I will find a way to pay you back slowly after this thousand taels, and I will trouble you to help me take care of her in the future!"

"Ahem!" Chu Xiao, who was originally drinking, suddenly coughed his throat by these words, and the wine spilled out, he brushed off the remaining wine stains at the corners of his mouth and said in surprise, "You...... How do you know that I am giving away the money in your name? I haven't told you what's going on yet? ”

Mu Chengfeng stared at him and said indifferently, "Because one thousand taels is not a number, I believe that you who cherish your wealth as much as your life will not have this kind intention, you can rest assured, although I don't have so many silver taels now, but this thousand taels, even if it is used for a lifetime, I will return it in full." ”

was seen through in advance, Chu Xiao really had a kind of frustration that he was not invited, he liked to see the indifferent Mu Chengfeng show a grateful expression, but unfortunately, he didn't have that opportunity, doubting whether the other party was a fortune teller in his previous life, how could he calculate everything so accurately.

However, there is one more thing, Mu Chengfeng did not calculate accurately, which can make Chu Xiao raise his attitude again, and said awe-inspiringly, "No need, your Mufu is kind to our Chu family, those silver taels are all out of me in order to repay the favor, and you don't have to pay back a penny, I know that you are not having an easy time, these will be all offset, and from then on, we really don't owe each other." ”

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Mu Chengfeng's sword frowned, his fingers twisted the wine glass, and he was indeed a little surprised, and then asked playfully, "You say...... Are you all out? ”
