Chapter 023: Empty Glove White Wolf
The more Wei Guogong thought about it at this time, the more he felt a loss.
He thought that it was just a branch vein that was shaken out, and even when he pulled Zhao Chen into the gang on the condition of dividing fifty percent of the gold mine, he always felt that the main vein had already been hollowed out by the imperial court.
I just thought that I could send Zhao Chen, a little scourge, to be satisfied, so that I could turn over the article that I had calculated the other party before; Second, if you don't get it right, you will lose your head, you have to find someone to share the risk with him...
But in the end, people are not as good as heaven, and the shit luck of the main vein fell on him so well!
He thought about it and still snorted angrily: "It's okay to see, but there are some things we have to say in front!" ”
Zhao Chen didn't have any surprise, just smiled and waited for him to continue.
"It's not that the old man wants to regret it, it's really that you and I didn't expect this situation before." He twisted his gray eyebrows, "It's okay to say that a branch vein, you and I always dare to take risks to kill him." ”
Zhao Chen pursed his lips that were a little dry, and asked with a smile, "What?" If you change to the main vein, you will be bold? ”
"Hmph, you're bold! Do you take all the risks yourself? Wei Guogong sneered: "Privately mining veins, complicit in crime!" Not to mention that this golden vein is so rich that the gods will blush, you kid is afraid that nine lives are not enough to lose! ”
Zhao Chen smiled, the old man was right.
She has a thief's heart and a thief's guts, but she lacks a good appetite.
"And what do you want now?" She chuckled and fiddled with the lid of the cup, "It's hard to make the kid forget about this stubble, right?" ”
If it were possible, Wei Guogong really wished he had never mentioned it.
He pondered for a long time, and said seriously: "The old man is not a person who is untrustworthy, since this matter has entered your ears, then it should be a share of you, but how much is this-"
"Guogong, the kid knows what you have in mind." Zhao Chen interrupted him, leaned back lazily, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to pull another party into the gang?" ”
Wei Guogong looked solemn: "I know my own ability, we can't do this deal, we want to make this windfall, we can't say that we have to partner up again." ”
"Yes, let's take one and a half each, or directly take three or three directly." Zhao Chen glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I don't think you should want the kid to have an extra copy, right?" ”
was broken by a mouthful, and Wei Guogong couldn't help but be a little sneering.
He pondered it all night before, but what he thought was to let Zhao Chen pay two and a half, and he would pay less than one percent...
He cleared his throat: "Shi'an! You see, with such a big sum, we have to find someone more powerful than us, so that people will definitely have to occupy more, and you don't have any manpower, just sit back and wait for the money..."
The old man was rambling for a long time.
The gist is nothing more than that: you are a white wolf with empty gloves, it would be good to share your points.
Zhao Chen listened quietly until he finished speaking.
"Powerful and courageous people, I'm afraid it's hard to find them in Dachu! Besides, even if you really find out, if someone comes to you to eat black, where can you reason? ”
Her smile became thicker: "The most important thing is that you don't forget, the state capital where the gold mine is located, after all, is your fiefdom, if this matter is leaked, others can push four, five or six, you are afraid that it is-"
This time he avoided the important and trivialized, and really surrounded Wei Guogong.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person he had pondered before was not suitable enough, and his eyes couldn't help but become more anxious.
After all, it looks like spring is about to begin.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen lowered his voice: "However, it is not impossible to choose a safe candidate, and with the power of the other party, it is impossible to tie the two of us together, do you want to listen to it?" ”
Seeing her staring at herself with cunning eyes, the ominous premonition in Wei Guogong's heart was instantly magnified several times.
When he walked out of the Wuwang Mansion half a quarter of an hour later, he felt that the whole person was not good, and he endured it again and again, and before getting into the car, he still gritted his teeth and took a low sip.
In the future, if anyone tells him that people are old and refined, he will have to spit out the other party's face!
Zhao Chen saw this scene from afar, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, just wanted to enter the mansion, but his ears trembled a few times unconsciously.
She squinted her eyes at the courtyard wall and headed straight for the backyard.
The young man in the empty courtyard stood with his hands tied, looking like he was in his early twenties, and his dark suit was dirty and tattered from hurrying, and when he saw Zhao Chen walk in, he hurriedly landed on one knee: "Your Highness!" ”
"Get up quickly, say in the house!" Zhao Chen pulled him with a smile and limped into the house.
The water vapor on the red charcoal stove was thick, and the boiling water couldn't stop gurgling.
"After receiving your letter, my subordinates rushed to the place where the map was drawn." The young man said and took out a cloth bag from his bosom, "According to your instructions, my subordinates have carefully examined it, and there are no traces of it being dug up. ”
Zhao Chen took it and unfolded it, and only when he saw the emerald color did he relax slightly: "There is nothing abnormal around?" ”
"The only thing that is different is that in addition to the jade pendant you said, there is also a letter hidden there." He handed the letter over.
The yellowed envelope reads: Ling'er personally opened, the font is vigorous and powerful, only the pen seems to be unstable due to the writer's instability, and the ink is inevitably slightly skewed.
Zhao Chen stared at it for a while, and he didn't shy away from opening it when the young man was still there.
She looked at it word by word, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, and finally fixed her gaze on the place where she fell.
Father Xiao Qingshan's masterpiece!
After a long time, she asked softly: "Yingchun, you should have seen Xiao Qingshan, right?" ”
The young man was stunned at first, and then recalled: "I have met a few times, but at that time, my subordinates were still young, and I don't remember very clearly, but my father and General Xiao have always been good." ”
"Does he have a wife and children?" Zhao Chen asked again.
"Before he got married, he went to the border with the old warrior king, and he couldn't take care of it in the war of the sky, and then the Great Wei invaded the border, Yongchang was lost, and he died in the city."
Zhao Chen thought silently for a while, and handed the letter to him: "You take a look at this first." ”
Yingchun took it suspiciously, and after only a few glances, it was like being struck by lightning, and asked in disbelief: "Cui'er, Cui'er is General Xiao's child?" ”
Zhao Chen took the jade pendant in his hand and dipped some tea drops on the side corner with his fingertips.
Under the shroud of water droplets, the small places were magnified a little, so that the engraved Xiao characters could be seen.
"This is a token of the Xiao family, probably sent out with that letter before Xiao Qingshan died." She lowered her eyes and chuckled: "When I was a child, I saw this jade pendant, more than half a year ago, I met Cui'er on the street, and I happened to see this thing on him again." ”
If she hadn't had good eyes, she might not have noticed it at a glance.
Yingchun suddenly said: "It turns out that you didn't like Cui'er...", he consciously said nonsense, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "You mean that Cui'er was killed because of General Xiao?" ”
Zhao Chen chuckled and said, "... If you are in danger again in the future, you should take it out and hide it for your father... Handed over to Zhu Chongyuan..."
"General Xiao had already realized that he was going to die, and he left something in advance-" Yingchun didn't know what to think, and his expression gradually became complicated.
"What's the use of thinking so much? Let's go and see it tomorrow! Zhao Chen stretched his waist and said with a smile: "It's getting dark, let people prepare the carriage and horses, it's time to pick up my little beauty." ”
