Chapter 18: Dumbfounded

"How are you!"

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Xiao Junyan's eyes were about to fall off, this person was none other than Lu Wanying, who he wanted to see but didn't dare to see!

He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he couldn't slow down for a long time, and it wasn't until Cheng Qingyue called Sister Wanying that he came back to his senses.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, looked carefully, and finally confirmed that the person in front of him was Lu Wanying.

"Oh, my silver ticket!" Xiao Junyan slapped his thigh and wailed: "Wanying, you are ruthless, you know that it is me, why do you still let the bustard charge me so much money?"

Lu Wanying said with a businesslike look: "I can't help it, although we are old acquaintances, but I have just arrived, I still have to abide by the rules of this Yi Lanxuan, besides, that silver ticket is not a drop in the bucket for your eldest son Xiao?"

Xiao Junyan said miserably: "Don't mention it, in order to force me to go back, the old man has given a death order to the Xiao family's major silver accounts distributed throughout the country, and they are not allowed to give me any more money, this time I see your money, but all my belongings!"

Lu Wanying spread her hands and said as if she didn't care about herself: "Okay, I can only sympathize with you." After speaking, she took Cheng Qingyue's hand and sat down.

After everyone sat down, Xiao Junyan looked at Cheng Qing and then at Jiang Yichen, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong, why didn't they seem to be surprised at all?

He asked, "Did you already know that Wanying was coming to the capital?"

Cheng Qingyue's honest question: "Yes."

"Then let me ask you again, do you already know that Liu Muqing is Wanying?"

"Yes." Jiang Yichen replied, "We just met her two days ago. ”

Xiao Junyan stopped hearing this, he pointed to the two of them: "I know that you didn't tell me in advance?" If I regard you as confidants, are you worthy of me and your conscience? ”

Jiang Yichen said: "You didn't ask us again."

Cheng Qingyue added: "We can't see you these days."

When Xiao Junyan heard this, the anger that had just sprung up was held in his heart, he picked up the teacup in a distraught manner, and drank a few cups of tea in a row, and then smoothed the breath.

"Okay, since you deliberately manipulated me and caused me to spend all my money, I will rely on your Jing'an Mansion every day in the future, eat you and drink yours, and I will eat you poor! I'm annoying you! Xiao Junyan said hatefully.

The three of them looked at Xiao Junyan, who was eager to eat people, and they all felt funny.

Lu Wanying got up and persuaded: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, you don't have money, I have money, don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, I won't starve you to death!"

When Xiao Junyan heard this, he was moved to tears: "I knew that Wanying, you wouldn't be so cruel to me." As he spoke, he was about to pounce on her and hug her.

Lu Wanying dodged away and said, "If you are moved, keep it for now, and repay me when I need you."

After this comedy, the four of them sat around and talked about serious things.

Lu Wanying said: "Lord Wang, yesterday the servant of the Ministry of Officials Lang Zhuang came to me, drunk, and made a lot of nonsense, saying that now the literati examiner has to look at his face to do things, so I took his words, he personally admitted that he had sold his official position many times, according to him, there is also a roster, which records the name of the official buyer in detail."

Xiao Junyan was shocked when he heard it: "When did you become his meticulous work?"

Lu Wanying said calmly: "After coming to the capital."

Xiao Junyan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Say, didn't he force you, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll make the decision for you!"

"I volunteered."

"Why?" Xiao Junyan asked, "You yourself are in the Qinglou, and you have to face those gentlemen, disciples, and people who have a honey sword every day, and your safety cannot be guaranteed, and you still have the energy to find out the news for him?" When I was in that small place in Cangzhou before, I had the money, and I could buy the Qinglou for you to manage, and there were no powerful people in Cangzhou, and we could still cover you, this capital is different, here, there are many people we can't bluff, what should you do if you want to encounter danger? ”

Lu Wanying saw that Xiao Junyan was anxious for her, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of sweetness in her heart, it seemed that he didn't care about her at all.

"Since the death of my parents, I have hated corrupt officials in my heart, those who buy officials with money will definitely not be good officials after taking office, and I don't know how many people will be harmed, so I am willing to contribute to this matter, and it can be regarded as comforting my parents' souls in heaven." Lu Wanying comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I haven't been in the Qinglou for a day or two, I can deal with those people!"

"I'm still not at ease."

Cheng Qingyue watched the conversation between the two, and was sincerely happy for Lu Wanying, even if she has beauty and money, if there is no one who cares about herself and loves herself, then these will be meaningless, and Sister Wanying is very lucky, she has all of them.

Thinking about it, she unconsciously looked at Jiang Yichen, and Jiang Yichen seemed to guess her thoughts, and was looking at her tenderly and sweetly at the moment. The two looked at each other, Cheng Qingyue couldn't help blushing, and lowered her head embarrassedly.

However, the problem that Xiao Junyan was worried about was quickly solved, and the person who solved this matter was himself.

Later, according to him, he repaired a letter and sent it to his father, saying that because he had no money to eat, he was malnourished, had a serious disease, and his life was on the verge of death, and he urgently needed a large amount of money for treatment.

The old man was frightened when he heard this, this is okay, he is such a precious son, he is going to be gone, who will inherit this family wealth? When his mother heard that her son had an incurable disease, she immediately passed out, and when she woke up, she cried and asked her husband to pay for her son's life!

In this way, Old Man Xiao immediately gave an order to let all the silver numbers in the capital take out all the money in the silver treasury and send it to his son for treatment, which is not enough to be transferred to other places. He also said that he would spend all his family wealth to cure his son's illness.

In this way, Xiao Junyan's illness quickly recovered, and he stopped his father and mother from coming to see him in time on the grounds that he needed to recuperate and was not suitable to see people.

After getting the money, he immediately spent a lot of money to buy Yi Lanxuan, and in order to prevent those powerful people from oppressing people with power, he also took out the name of his aunt and Zhang Chengxiang's cousin-in-law to deter everyone.

In this way, everyone in the capital knows that Yi Lanxuan's boss is Xiao Junyan, the only son of the richest man in Jiangnan, and Liu Muqing is his woman, and he has Prime Minister Zhang behind him to support him, and he can't be provoked.

Since then, Lu Wanying has indeed had a lot less trouble, and she can choose the guests she wants to accompany and the guests she doesn't want to accompany at will.

Xiao Junyan got cheap and behaved, saying that he had no feelings for that uncle, but if he hadn't had no choice this time, he really didn't want to be related to him.

Having said that, after Jiang Yichen listened to Lu Wanying's words, he said calmly: "It's not surprising, that Zhuang Shaozong has been selling officials since a long time ago, and it is estimated that many people know about it."

Xiao Junyan asked, "Does that old man also care about his subordinates?"

"What if he acquiesced?"

Xiao Junyan was puzzled: "He is a dignified prime minister of a country, one person above ten thousand people, why should he take the risk to do such a thing?"

"For the money."

Xiao Junyan was incredulous: "No, he will have no money as a prime minister?"

Jiang Yichen was surprised and said, "Do you think that everyone in the world is as rich as you?" Do you think that with Zhang Huaiyan's little money, he can buy so many people to look forward to him? ”

Xiao Junyan suddenly realized: "That's right, he also needs a lot of money to buy people and fight against Li Wei, but they are also bold enough to dare to do this kind of thing under the emperor's nose."

Jiang Yichen snorted coldly: "He is not stupid, although Zhuang Shaozong's betrayal of officials was not instructed by him, most of the benefits really fell into his hands, so he turned a blind eye and acquiesced in him doing it." Even if the incident happened, he could shirk that he didn't know about it at all, and that Zhuang Shaozong did it behind his back. Unlike Li Wei's villainous behavior, Zhang Huaiyan still attaches great importance to his Zhang's reputation. ”

Xiao Junyan gritted his teeth and scolded: "Old fox! Hypocrite! ”

Cheng Qingyue asked, "What about the others, what about Li Wei?" Isn't he Prime Minister Zhang's sworn enemy, and he didn't use this matter to impeach Prime Minister? ”

Jiang Yichen gently plucked the tea leaves in the tea bowl and said, "I guess they did it too secretively, and he hasn't found evidence yet."

Cheng Qingyue said: "As long as we get his roster, won't we be able to cure his crimes?"

Jiang Yichen nodded lightly in agreement.

Lu Wanying said: "When he comes back next time, I will paraphrase him again, and I will definitely ask the whereabouts of the roster."

Jiang Yichen said casually: "It's best to let Li Wei's people hear."

Lu Wanying immediately understood: "Understood!"

Xiao Junyan told her: "Be careful and don't be discovered."

"Got it."
