Chapter Forty-Nine: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Soon entered the middle of May, which was getting hotter and hotter, and another two months passed, Murong Ke still didn't show up, and there was no album or anything secretly sent over. Shi Zhongyu was also tired after being a frightened bird for many days, and he relaxed and said to himself, what is love

Murong Chu, the king of Ling, has been stranded in Xihai, which makes Shi Zhongyu suspect that either he has enough control to ensure that no news unfavorable to him reaches the Taifu capital, or he has other ways to cover up, otherwise it is extremely abnormal for a vassal king to leave the fief for so long.

Moreover, it is true that Xihai is lonely overseas, and it is also true that no one from the ordinary people and local officials has seen the true face of His Royal Highness King Ling, but what if any secret agent has seen it? Murong Chu acted steadily and cautiously, and he could never do such a risky and big thing, so why did he have no fear?

Could it be that when he was discovered, he would say, "There are many people in this world who look alike?" I am Chu Tiankuo, a high-roller in the rivers and lakes, and I am not Murong Rong, the king of Laoshi Ziling.

It's too easy to be suspicious, but he just doesn't care. That kind of weightless attitude, for some reason, made Shi Zhongyu vaguely feel a sense of security. She didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't deny the hard truth. Murong Chu was like the invisible backing of their brother and sister, as long as she thought of him standing behind her, she would feel steady.

Lao Ye has not made any moves these days, but his eldest son, Ye Mingzhi, walked to the front desk and took turns to give her brother Ye Mingwen a stumbling block in business. The few orders of business and a few shops that Ye Mingwen won were either problems with the goods, or there were problems with the funds, or the people under him were dishonest.

Of course, their brothers and sisters will not be passively beaten or exhausted, because they have been prepared, but they have also come to block and cover up, and calmly coped with the past. But among them, Murong Chu's powerful help is indispensable. He doesn't seem to be stingy with the secret power he buried in Xihai, and his generous and sincere attitude also makes Shi Zhongyu have to praise him.

Originally, she was seriously suspicious of this person, just because of the earth-shattering arrow at the beginning of her rebirth. But after getting along slowly, she will feel that her brother is right. Murong Chu and them can be said to use each other, but this person is quite heroic and has no disdain.

Although Cha obtained a high score in the back-and-forth struggle, not only did not damage his popularity, but made the elders of the Ye family realize his ability to deal with chaos, he was indeed very busy, the brother and sister rarely had time to get together, and sometimes there was an emergency, so Shi Zhongyu contacted Murong Chu on his behalf.

In this way, Shi Zhongyu and Murong Chu will have more opportunities to meet. Shi Zhongyu tried her best to stay cold and distant, she no longer wanted to be involved with any king or king, just that one was enough for her to see. But Murong Chu didn't seem to feel her attitude, she was careful and proper, but she didn't flatter her, and she was very comfortable getting along.

"There are overseas merchants coming to send beads, Miss Ye Liu, please go up to the room to sit down for a while?" The shopkeeper of Tianshunhe, the largest jewelry building on Tianyi Island, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

"Business is important, wait a little bit and fight what's the matter." Shi Zhongyu stood up with a good speech, and was led into the inner room by the young man, followed by Xiao Han and Xiao Man. Passing through two doors and an open well, Murong Chu sat in the inner room.

Shi Zhongyu entered the room, and Da Han and Da Man stood guard outside the door.

Recently, she often goes out, in addition to attending "story meetings", she also shops around, spends a lot of money, and looks like a loser. When she arrived in Xihai, she didn't have a few clothes or jewelry, but now the wardrobe in the house is full, and there are several more jewelry boxes.

In fact, she took the opportunity to walk around to do public relations for her brother. In addition to the Ye family's own clan, even the rival Jiang family and the Bao family are also counted, and she is neither humble nor arrogant. From her modern point of view, monopoly is not a good thing, and if you give your opponent room to live, you will be more prosperous. Therefore, after discussing with Ye Mingwen, they decided to give up part of their interests to the Bao family and the Jiang family in exchange for support from outside the Ye family.

Never underestimate your opponents, external forces are sometimes no less effective than internal forces.

Of course, Lao Ye is not an idiot, how could he let her go, so every time she comes out, she is watched by a master. In order to get rid of those tails, she was full of tricks, and Murong Chu also took the initiative to help, so that Lao Ye did not see the flaws for so many days. But in this way, many of Murong Chu's hidden piles in Xihai were exposed, such as Tianshunhe Jewelry Building, Wanchang Silk Village, and Shengshengtang Pharmacy's semicolon in Xihai......

In fact, Shi Zhongyu was a little uneasy about this, and it was not a good thing to know too many secrets of the other party. She even suspected that Murong Chu did this on purpose, so that she could not be separated from him. But she seems to have embarked on a road from which there is no turning back, and she can only move forward.

"What's the matter with Brother Chu?" She asked reservedly, using the same title for Murong Chu as Ye Mingwen.

Every time there is important news, Murong Chu will notify the guards who sent it to Ye Mingwen, if Ye Mingwen can't get out, he will make an appointment with Shi Zhongyu through Da Han or Xiao Han. After all, it was inconvenient for Murong Chu to meet Ye Mingwen now, and Shi Zhongyu was a flexible chess piece.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea." Murong Chu smiled gently, his gaze as if unintentionally swept over Shi Zhongyu's face.

I didn't think it was special before, but after two months of getting along, he found that this little girl has extraordinary knowledge, has a far-sighted vision of business, and is generous, decisive, reluctant, and masculine, which is different from other women he has seen. It's just that I know that she has a bad stomach and a lot of things to deal with the Ye family, and I know that she has a lively and wise temper, and at this time, I saw that she was pretending to be dignified and virtuous, not only did she not hate it, but she was mixed with seven points of cuteness in three points of fun. He had to admit that it touched his heart. Every time he saw her, it was as if a sturdy and heavy house on his heart was falling dust, and it would collapse one day.

"How?" Seeing Shi Zhongyu sitting down and taking a sip of tea, but frowning faintly, Murong Chu couldn't help asking.

In the past, he liked women with two black and long eyebrows, thinking that they looked heroic and had a bright temperament. But recently, he thinks that this girl's light eyebrows are also very good-looking, and with her delicate and durable facial features, she looks gentle and smart.

"Although His Highness's things must be good, to be honest, the taste is really not good. At least, not with me. Shi Zhongyu swallowed the astringent feeling.

Murong Chu laughed, he really liked Shi Zhongyu's appearance and tone.

"It's not good in the first place, but is it necessarily good to pay tribute?" He smiled and shook his head, "However, few people are willing to say it, as if if this tea is not good, it will be low." ”

Isn't it the same as "The Emperor's New Clothes"? Shi Zhongyu thought to himself. However, she didn't want to chat with Murong Chu, so she said tightly, "Tea doesn't matter, I'm not a gentleman, no matter what I taste, just quench my thirst." However, Your Highness, please say, what kind of moth has come out of the Ye family this time? ”

"My people found that the Sea Dragon Gang on the opposite shore was very active." Murong Chu's fingers gently caressed the rim of the cup.

Strange, he is full of the iron-blooded temperament of a soldier, although it is not as cruel and majestic as Murong Ke, but it is also majestic, but his fingers are very delicate, so the whole movement is full of elegance.

"What did they do?" She retracted her useless thoughts and asked.

"Arrived on the island in several batches, and it was very secret." Murong Chu squinted slightly, "At the same time, the cargo ships that have recently entered the port are mixed with hot oil, sulfur and other substances. If it is a legitimate business, it is sneaky. There are not many ships per ship, and even the officials of the port will not pay attention to it, let alone report it to the government. But it adds up...... The amount is not small. Enough ......"

"Enough to burn the cargo hold of Cape East." The jade interface in the stone said, ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
