Chapter 444: Dangerous Moves
Lan Jianfeng picked up the teacup, looked at Mu Jiu angrily excitedly, and laughed sarcastically, "Do you think it's so easy to stand in line?" You're just a businessman, what can you come up with to help our second prince besides money! ”
"I can pay money, at most 20%, and if I have more, I will use this money to take refuge in the third prince, and it is a big deal to avenge the rose!" Mu Jiu's attitude was very resolute.
Lan Jianfeng immediately changed his words, "Sancheng, the lowest, it can't be less." ”
Mu Jiu felt that Xia Qingyu was poor and crazy, so he asked Lan Jianfeng to bargain with her like this!
"For such a big matter, you have to give me a little time to think about it."
Facing Mu Jiu's concession, Lan Jianfeng was very satisfied, "Give you a day at most, otherwise your flower-like rose girl will ......"
Mu Jiu got up and left, no longer glancing at Lan Jianfeng.
Lan Jianfeng stared at Mu Jiu's back with disdain for a long time, "Isn't it just a peasant girl, what's the big deal, if it weren't for the second prince who thinks that your money can help him, this son wouldn't bother to talk to you!" ”
For a long time, Lan Jianfeng left Defu Building, but what he didn't know was that after he left, a black shadow slid down from the third floor with a whoosh, and walked through several streets to the Three Princes' Mansion.
Not long after he returned, a woman in a black cloak was taken by the butler to the Three Princes' Mansion.
This woman is Mu Jiu!
The main house of the three princes is in the hall, and the three princes sit on the main seat.
Mu Jiu knelt down very formally to greet the three princes, "The people see His Royal Highness the three princes." ”
"Mu Jiu, you are so bold!" Xia Qingbi shouted loudly as he opened his mouth.
"The third prince, the people's women are really helpless." Mu Jiu knelt straight, not daring to fake.
"Helpless? It was not easy for this prince to occupy a place in Qizhou, but he was ruined by you, and you actually said that it was really helpless! Xia Qingbi didn't plan to speak well.
Before, a person claiming to be Mu Jiu came and gave him a message, wanting to see if Xia Qingyu was sincere, but he could go to Defu Building to listen to the conversation between Mu Jiu and Lan Jianfeng.
After hesitating, he still sent the most powerful master in the Three Princes' Mansion to go.
Xia Qingyu, that sword man, really wanted to provoke a fight between him and the crown prince!
But Xia Qingbi didn't thank Mu Jiu, Mu Jiu didn't remind him of this matter, he would find out sooner or later, if he didn't still want to fight for Mu Jiu to stand on his side, he wouldn't be so easy to speak, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost the financial support of the south!" ”
Since he chose to make a deal with the third prince, Mu Jiu came prepared," the third prince explained. ”
Xia Qingbi looked impatient, "Say!" ”
"I know that His Highness is righteous, and you have to protect those who serve you, but the Ji family is really not worthy of His Highness's love, they take the trust given by His Highness and do dirty things that betray the country, isn't this a smear to His Highness? And ......"
Mu Jiusi looked down and lowered his voice, "And sooner or later, this Great Xia Kingdom will be His Highness, didn't they take the benefits given by His Highness, but betrayed His Highness?" Your Highness, if they don't fall early, once they lose and make a big fuss, the emperor will find out, I'm afraid they will implicate Your Highness.
Therefore, Mu Jiu is not only innocent in this matter, but also should have merit. ”
Xia Qingbi carefully reflected on Mu Jiu's words, "So, do you still want some benefits?" ”
"The women don't dare, but the women really don't mean to go against His Highness, it's just that she can't get used to the Ji family's practices, she is not afraid of His Highness's jokes when she says it, His Royal Highness also knows the origin of the women and a concubine of the Ji family, she relies on the support of the Ji family, and wants to kill the women everywhere, and the women have to fight back, but the women really didn't expect the Ji family to be so vulnerable.
Having said that, the Ji family gets so many benefits from His Highness every year, how much can they give His Highness every year? When we went to the Ji family forest farm, we were stunned, it turned out that the Ji family was so rich! ”
Mu Jiu said as he paid close attention to Xia Qingbi's expression with the corner of his eye, and seeing his calm appearance, a cloud of anger burned in his heart.
He also really knew about the matter of fine work, and even had his acquiescence in the matter of fine work, but he was afraid that he also knew that there was a Yang Aiguo in the south, and the people of Nanluo country could not get in, so he dared to boldly use the matter of fine work to seek benefits for himself.
He knows how many soldiers have lost their lives on the battlefield ahead, how many mothers have lost their children and have nothing to rely on, how many children have lost their fathers, and a family has collapsed.
Perhaps, in his eyes, those people are cheap lives, less than a single hair of his hair, but in the eyes of doctors, life is terrible!
Mu Jiu tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and waited for Xia Qingbi to get angry with his eyebrows.
Sure enough, Xia Qingbi slapped the tea table beside him, "Bring Mu Liufu to me!" ”
Mu Jiu knelt so hard that his knees hurt, and while rubbing his knees, he said, "Your Highness, the women are sincerely standing in line with you, and the 20% income of the Maicheng Pharmaceutical Factory said in Defu Lou is also true......"
Xia Qingbi has an impulsive personality, but the prince who can develop his power under the emperor's nose, how far can he be hastily packed, but when he saw this, he didn't let Mu Jiu get up, "Kneel, lest you don't know who your master is!" ”
"Your Highness is right, but Your Highness, aren't you very righteous? How can you treat a person who is sincere to you? ”
"Get up!" Xia Qingbi was extremely impatient.
"Your Highness." Mu Jiu stood quietly aside.
After about a stick of incense, Xia Jin brought Mu Liufu, "Your Highness, someone has brought it." ”
When Mu Liufu saw Mu Jiu, he was shocked, glared at her fiercely, and then knelt in front of Xia Qingbi in a decent manner, "The slave has seen Your Highness." ”
"Get up, Mu Jiu said, it was your instigation that caused the Ji family and Mu Jiu to oppose each other, which led to the demise of the Ji family?"
Mu Liufu is no longer the self-righteous village woman she was at the beginning, when she arrived in the capital, she already knew what it was for people to bow their heads under the eaves, and what it was for those who knew the times to be Junjie, and immediately shouted injustice, "Your Highness, wronged, even if the slave and maid do not agree with Mu Jiu, it is impossible to instigate the master to deal with Mu Jiu!" Besides, what kind of person is the master, the slave and maid at that time were just a concubine who couldn't even raise his own son, how could He De instigate the master? How could he believe the words of the slave? ”
Maybe the bustard has been doing it for a long time, and Mu Liufu is used to being pretentious, and his voice is delicate.
Hearing this, Mu Jiu got goosebumps.
Xia Qingbi enjoyed it very much, "Well, this matter has been revealed, Mu Jiu said that the Ji family is very rich, why does the Ji family only give this prince a little bit every year?" ”
Mu Liufu's expression was in place, "What money?" The slave and maid concubine don't know anything, and they are locked up in the yard every day, if it weren't for the accident of the Ji family, in order to raise their son, the slave and maid would not come out and show their faces, the others, what kind of person is the master, how much money he has, the slave and the maid really don't know anything! ”
She behaved innocently, Xia Qingbi was suspicious but didn't dig deeper, anyway, now that Ji Kun is dead, Mu Liufu is doing things for him.
Mu Jiu spoke at the right time, "Your Highness, haven't you heard that Ji Kun gave her a lot of money for Mu Liufu to take the child to Beijing smoothly?" ”
Xia Qingbi looked at Mu Liufu with an unkind look.
Mu Liufu was so frightened that he knelt down, "Your Highness, the money is only 10,000 taels, and along the way, you have to hire a carriage and provide for the family's expenses, and there is not much left, if it weren't for His Highness's kindness, the slave and maid would not even be able to afford that small courtyard, maybe now the family is living on the streets, and the slave and maid thank His Highness for his great kindness." ”
Sure enough, Shibei should be impressed for three days.
It turned out that Mu Liufu, who had no one in Mujia Village, had learned to judge the situation.
Mu Jiu smiled slightly, "You have to thank Your Highness, but Your Highness, Mu Liufu has a deep grudge against the people's women, and now with His Highness's support, maybe one day he will buy a murderer to give the people's women an assassination or something, you have to take care of her." In the future, the women will be your money bag in Qizhou. ”
Xia Qingbi looked at Mu Liufu, who trembled and promised, "No! No! As long as you are His Highness's person, I will definitely not make a move! ”
"I don't believe you!" Mu Jiudao, "If something happens to me, it must be you who did it, except for you, no one in this capital hates me more!" ”
"I won't, I swear!" Mu Liufu repeatedly assured.
Xia Qingbi glared at Mu Jiu dissatisfiedly, "Don't make trouble, now Liufu is doing things under me!" ”
"The women are fine, in fact, she has always been looking for faults, since she doesn't find faults, the women don't say anything about her."
Mu Jiu's generous appearance was so angry that Mu Liufu was half dead, but she hid it well on her face, and even showed a flattering smile at Mu Jiu, "Sister, in the future, our sisters will serve His Highness well." ”
"Okay." Mu Jiu shuddered wickedly, "Your Highness, buying a restaurant downstairs in the capital has exhausted all the savings of the people's women, and now it is almost the end of the year, and the pharmaceutical factory is about to take inventory, why don't you wait, wait until the inventory, the women will liquidate it, and then give you 20% of this year's income?" ”
"Don't play tricks with me!" Xia Qingbi smashed the teacup to Mu Jiu's feet, "Mu Jiu, this prince's patience is limited!" ”
"How dare you? It's really no money, you also know that the price of goods in the capital is very expensive, the little money earned in Maicheng and Qizhou, it's not enough to get to the capital, plus I've been using my savings for the past few months, I have no income, I really don't have money, you can ask my cousin about this, when she first came, was she as embarrassed as me. ”
Mu Liufu wanted to say no, but wasn't this a slap in the face that she had just said? She just said she had no money! I had to say something wrong, "Yes, Your Highness, the price of a small place is cheap." ”
Xia Qingbi reluctantly agreed, "I must deliver the money before the fifteenth day of the first month!" ”
"Yes!"
Xia Qingbi intimidated Mu Jiu again before letting people out.
Mu Liufu didn't follow, she could figure out with her toes that she must have said bad things about her in front of Xia Qingbi.
It doesn't matter, she didn't have the intention of taking refuge in Xia Qingbi, it was just an expedient measure.
As dangerous as this is, many of the time, there are often more unexpected surprises in the way of a soldier's move.
Coming out of the Three Princes' Mansion, Mu Jiu did not go home directly, but went to find An Kang......
