The case of the female corpse soon made new progress, and the people of Shuntian Mansion entered the Song Mansion more than once to investigate the case, and also summoned many subordinates of the Song Mansion to interrogate, naturally most of the subordinates in Song Xingchen's courtyard.

For a while, there were a lot of rumors in the capital, but in the end, after they found out the secret passage in Song Xingchen's room in Shuntian Mansion, and it was a secret passage dug up from the outside, all rumors were terminated, and the trial result of Shuntian Mansion was the final version.

It turned out that someone wanted to kidnap Song Xingchen, but somehow, he kidnapped the fire girl in Song Xingchen's yard by mistake.

Although Song Xingchen is not at fault, this fire-burning girl is also pitiful, but the public's brain supplement is unlimited.

Some people suspect that this girl herself is also impure in motives, otherwise where would a fire girl be qualified to go to Song Xingchen's room? He is not innocent as a scapegoat.

Of course, the most powerful version is that Zhou Ding failed to marry Song Xingchen, and wanted to secretly kidnap people, but after finding out that the person who was robbed was not Song Xingchen, he was angry and killed the fire girl.

As for the truth, it depends on which one you want to believe.

In the private room of the restaurant, Song Xingchen and Yelang are feasting, although they negotiated with Zhou Ding, but they can arrive on time is already their integrity, as for not waiting for the guests to arrive to eat, they can only blame the guests for not being punctual.

The wine and food have all been served, and if you don't eat it, you can only waste it, this is not Song Xingchen's character.

"You asked the prince to come to watch you eat?" Zhou Ding looked at the husband and wife who were like no one beside him with an angry face, if he was angry and could spontaneously combust, he would definitely be a smoker now.

"If the Nine Emperor Princes are hungry, then eat them together, the specialties of this restaurant are not bad." Yelang said hospitablely: "If the Nine Emperor Princes feel that the food is not enough, they can order a few more, as the host, they will never be stingy with the money for a few dishes." ”

"But waste is not a good thing, how many dishes the Nine Emperor Princes ordered, remember to pack and take away if you are not full. Our Great Zhou State has always advocated frugality, waste is the most shameful, the two countries fought against each other, and it was precisely because the Great Zhou State did not waste on weekdays, so it was so sufficient in military supplies, and won a complete victory in the shortest possible time. Song Xingchen took advantage of the soup and said with a smile.

If the husband and wife sang together, Zhou Ding's face became even more ugly.

However, today is for negotiation, and Zhou Ding did not get angry immediately, but his forbearance is also limited.

"Don't think that because this is your territory, you can be disrespectful to this prince!" Zhou Ding molars.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, shrugged innocently, and said in unison: "Wronged! ”

"Since it is disrespectful to invite guests to dinner, then it is better to ask the Nine Emperor Princes to pay for this meal." Song Xingchen pouted indifferently, "The cost of the box is 10,000 taels of silver, this table of wine and food is 1,800 taels, and the Nine Emperors are invited to pay cash, after all, it is not very good to go to the post house to collect debts." ”

"This prince doesn't have such a good relationship with you!" Zhou Ding breathed hard, so that the fire did not break out.

"Friendship or something, naturally there is no such thing. But the Nine Emperor Princes came to our Great Zhou Kingdom as envoys, and we have to respect a few points, and we must not let the Nine Emperor Princes feel that we are disrespectful to you because of this meal, which will involve the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Song Xingchen spread his hands and urged: "The Nine Emperors are still paying the money quickly, and we will negotiate when the husband and wife are ready." Besides, these meals are going to be cold, and if you don't pack them again, you will become leftovers when you go back, and you will lose both taste and nutrition, which is a big loss. ”

"The lady is right, as a businessman, you must not lose money." Yelang doted on the road.

Zhou Ding knew that these two people would not talk about business if they did not reach their goals, so in order to get the antidote quickly, he could only secretly rub the fire and ask his subordinates to hand the silver ticket to Song Xingchen.

"Can we talk now?" Zhou Ding clenched his hands into fists and said hatefully.

Song Xingchen counted the silver tickets, bumped his elbow against Ye Lang, and asked, "Xianggong, have you eaten enough?" ”

"Well, it's just right to finish this bowl of soup again." Yelang replied.

"Then let's talk about it after you finish eating, I'm a woman, so it's inconvenient to come forward." Song Xingchen said in a tone that regarded her husband as the sky.

Zhou Ding and his entourage almost vomited blood, it is inconvenient for you to come forward to the appointment? Is this funny?

Yelang chuckled lightly, drinking the soup slowly, his movements were elegant, and he was not disturbed by the murderous aura on the other side.

It wasn't until Yelang put down the soup bowl and wiped his mouth dry again, then he looked up at Zhou Ding and asked very kindly: "The Nine Emperors have a pale face, obviously a loss of qi and blood, this soup is just for replenishing qi and blood, can the Nine Emperors drink a bowl?" ”

"Do you want hostages?" Zhou Ding slapped the table and asked angrily.

"Calm, calm." Yelang stretched out his hand and scooped Song Xingchen into his arms, touched her face and said: "My lady is timid, don't scare her with the Nine Emperor Princes, in case she forgets where the antidote is, wouldn't the Nine Emperor Princes ......"

As he spoke, Yelang shook his head lightly and looked at Zhou Ding with a look of regret.

A burst of salty liquid surged up in his throat, Zhou Ding glared at Yelang hatefully, and then looked at Song Xingchen, who was pretending, and almost blurted out a killing word.

"Xianggong, the antidote is so expensive, we are so tight in our hands now, and we don't know if we can afford to buy the medicinal materials for preparing the antidote, or let's not negotiate, after all, we are all honest businessmen, if we lose our trust, won't we be scolded as unscrupulous profiteers?" Song Xingchen tugged at Yelang's clothes, pretending to bite his ears, but his voice was not small.

"Naughty." Pinching Song Xingchen's face, Yelang was very speechless about the nature of her greed for money, no matter when she never forgot her true character as a businessman, she always had to make a profit.

"Well, last time your room was smashed, it took nearly 100,000 taels of silver to repair it alone, not counting the furniture and antiques you added. This time, it cost a lot of silver taels to build a grave for the girl who died tragically, and our small private treasury is indeed a lot empty. Yelang cooperated.

The two things that the two said were related to Zhou Ding.

When Zhou Ding took someone to kidnap Song Xingchen, it did cause a little damage to the room, but more of it was destroyed by Song Mu and Zhou Feng, who saved Song Xingchen, and Song Mu had already paid for Song Xingchen out of his own pocket to complete the repair, and it didn't cost her a penny at all.

As for building a tomb for the fire girl this time, it did cost a little silver to make a appearance, but it was only a few hundred taels, and the silver that extorted Zhou Ding just now couldn't even be used.

Not wanting to be angry with the husband and wife, Zhou Ding closed his eyes, didn't look at their two pairs of eyes when he saw gold, and waved his hand at his subordinates.

The subordinate took out a stack of silver tickets distressedly, and just wanted to count how many they were, Yelang's figure flashed and came to him, and he directly took all the silver tickets and handed them over to Song Xingchen.

"My lady has been in business since she was a child, and she is the best at counting silver tickets, so she won't bother Your Excellency." Yelang nodded in salute.

The subordinate looked at Yelang dumbfounded, and he couldn't even say foul words, and he was angry and hurt internally.

Not only because Yelang took all the silver tickets, but also because of his kung fu, as the first guard by Zhou Ding's side, he definitely has no ability to backhand.

"Rubbish!" Zhou Ding scolded in a low voice, feeling the pain of being slapped in the face.

"Xianggong, I really didn't expect the Nine Emperors of the Western Zhou Kingdom to be so poor, and only brought tens of thousands of taels of silver when they went out, but this time we lost a lot of money." Song Xingchen pouted.

"It's okay, just do a good deed that day, it's not easy to be a prince these days, the pocket money every month is limited, and you have to recruit troops and buy horses, and you can only operate secretly if you have a way to make money, and it's normal to be poor." Yelang comforted.

Song Xingchen looked at Zhou Ding, showing a look of sudden realization, and the husband sang and said: "Since the Xianggong has said so, then do it according to the Xianggong's wishes, I just hope that we will meet fewer such poor people in the future, otherwise we will always make a loss-making transaction, it is better to buy two acres of thin land and live a rural life." ”

Yelang cooperated: "What the lady said is very true, this time I listened to the husband, and next time I will not let the lady make up the silver, after all, there are not so many poor ghosts in this world." ”

"You're not done!" Zhou Ding was annoyed and slapped the table and stood up.

"Yikes!" Song Xingchen put his hands to his mouth, widened his eyes and asked, "Nine Emperor Princes, is this a step?" ”

Zhou Ding was stunned for a moment, looked down at his feet standing on the ground, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Six steps, the master must not walk anymore." The subordinates stepped forward with sweat on their heads and helped Zhou Ding sit down, thinking in his heart that if Zhou Ding had a temper outburst, should he directly stun people.

Or, just tie the person to a chair so you don't have to worry about walking.

Song Xingchen and Yelang looked at each other and smiled, both saw a playful look in each other's eyes, but Zhou Ding and the others were distracted by the six-step incident, and they didn't notice their small movements.

After Zhou Ding did a good job, it took a while to adjust his mentality, and when he looked at Yelang and the others, he finally suppressed all his anger, as for whether he would hold back his internal injuries, only he knew.

"One hand to the person, the other hand to the medicine." Yelang was in no mood to continue to play language games with Zhou Ding, and went straight to the point.

The reason why she went around just now was entirely because of Song Xingchen's playful temperament, which made Yelang reluctant to disappoint her.

However, after a little delay, there is an income of nearly 100,000 taels of silver, and Yelang is so bright that he doesn't feel a loss, and it is good to do this kind of trading without capital a few more times.

"Two people, only one pill, are you fools to be the prince?" Zhou Ding sneered, obviously there were other purposes for negotiating this time.

"The Nine Emperor Princes are naturally not stupid, but the lives of the Nine Emperor Princes, even if the lives of the entire Song family are combined, can't be replaced, right?" Yelang asked rhetorically, but there was a sneer in his eyes.

Not to mention others, only Song Xingchen alone is better than everything in Yelang's heart, where is it that a mere Nine Emperor Princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty can compare.

Zhou Ding's expression flashed slightly, when his life was involved, his thinking was completely disturbed, and he could not make a correct judgment at the first time, which doomed him to lose this negotiation completely.

"The Nine Emperor Princes still have a cup of tea to consider, I don't mind the question of leaving an antidote, anyway, the people in the hands of the Nine Emperor Princes have no relatives and no reason with me." Yelang said indifferently.

Zhou Ding's eyes narrowed, he looked at Song Xingchen and asked, "That's the Song family, you don't care?" ”

"Marry and obey the husband, I listen to the husband." Song Xingchen's little bird is according to the way of people.

"Good." Yelang smiled lightly, and was very useful to Song Xingchen's words, even if he didn't think Song Xingchen was such a little woman.

"But he's in trouble." Zhou Ding said unwillingly.

"That's my husband, too!" Song Xingchen said with an innocent wink.
