Chapter 187: Gifts are exchanged
The news that Ye Yunzhi invited Qiu Yishan and Qiu Gubo to the banquet spread to all the people who cared about him in Yongcheng.
After Fu Guodong, who was like an ant on a hot pot every day, heard the news from the trench, he was much more surprised than Zhang Fuzhi.
Fu Guodong put down the teacup and looked at Yansun: "What?" Ye Yunzhi invited Qiu Yishan and Qiu Gubo to dinner? ”
Yan Sun said: "Yes, the news is very accurate, and just this morning, Ye Yunzhi sent invitations to Jiang Boqi and Li Songming respectively, inviting them to a banquet tonight." ”
Fu Guodong pondered for a moment: "Didn't Ye Yunzhi invite Zhang Fuzhi?" ”
Yansun shook his head silently.
Fu Guodong fell into doubt: "What does this Fengjun envoy want to do?" ”
Yansun said: "The person who came is not good, I guess Fengjun has taken a fancy to Yongcheng." ”
Fu Guodong said: "It's not about Yongcheng, it's about Fengjun." ”
Yansun said: "No matter what you look at, the most important thing at the moment is self-preservation. ”
"Self-preservation? It's hard to protect yourself. Fu Guodong's hand holding the teacup was trembling, "If Mr. Cai is still here, if ......"
Yansun interrupted Fu Guodong's words: "Originally, Mr. Cai could live. ”
Yan Sun's implication was to blame Fu Guodong, he could have stopped all this from happening, but he was worried that he would become Hu Shen's target, so he chose to act as if he didn't see anything and shrank back into his turtle shell.
Fu Guodong pretended not to understand, but said: "You guys just have a good rest these days, don't go anywhere, have a good rest, have a good rest......"
Fu Guodong's words seemed to be saying to himself, and he nodded slightly as he spoke.
Yansun knew that Fu Guodong regretted it, but is regret useful? Everyone is dead, and I don't know what Tang Anshu will do when he comes back and knows about it.

Tang Anshu, Gu Feng, Benzoin and Ye Xin, who returned to the prison, immediately informed Sun San of everything that happened on Yelong Island and Fengyan Island, and also explained the relevant situation of Mu Lingjian.
After Sun San heard this, he laughed, first laughing, and then turning into a wry smile: "After a lifetime, who knows that there will be an ending of living in Hu Shen's trap, this can be regarded as self-inflicted, whether it is me, or the sea snake, or the paper bodhisattva, we are all just self-righteous bastards." ”
Yes, Hu Shen grasped the weakness in their hearts, and with a little exploitation, it became a big net, trapping themselves in it.
Tang Anshu asked, "What happened to Yongcheng?" Chen Bozhong must not have broken the city yet, right? ”
Sun San's face changed: "Although Yongcheng has not been broken, Yongcheng is controlled by the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Tang Anshu was puzzled: "The Chamber of Commerce controls Yongcheng?" What about Fu Guodong? ”
Sun San tried his best not to mention Cai Qianqing's matter: "Fu Guodong has given in, as long as he doesn't fight, he just wants to maintain the status quo, this is probably the best result at the moment." ”
Tang Anshu shook his head: "No, with Cai Qianqing here, this kind of thing won't happen......"
As soon as he said this, Tang Anshu suddenly realized something: "Something happened to Qianqing?" ”
Sun San was speechless, and finally nodded silently.
Tang Anshu immediately asked, "What's wrong with him!?" ”
Sun Sanjian couldn't hide it in the end, so he had to say: "Mr. Cai is dead." ”
This sentence was like a bucket of ice water pouring down from the top of his head, and Tang Anshu felt that the blood all over his body was coagulated.
Tang Anshu asked, "What did you say?" ”
Sun San didn't dare to look directly at Tang Anshu: "With Mr. Cai here, it is difficult for Hu Shen to break the city, so he united with the three families of Yongcheng to force Fu Guodong to comply, and let him admit that the previous corpse transmission wind and the later madness were all caused by Cai Qianqing alone, plus Cai Qianqing's father came forward, and they finally used public opinion to force Mr. Cai to death." ”
Tang Anshu's eyes were dark, and he almost fell, but Yexin hugged him: "Anshu, are you okay?" ”
Benzoin tried her best not to look at Yexin and Tang Anshu, just looked down at the ground.
Tang Anshu finally stood firm: "Killing people with filial piety, Hu Shen's trick is really ruthless." ”
Sun San nodded and said: "Yes, if one person is not filial, the world will spit on him, and this move will kill people invisibly." ”
Tang Anshu's face was bloodless, and he said, "I must rush back to Yongcheng immediately." ”
Sun San said: "It's not the time yet, it's dangerous for you to go back, and I've already made other arrangements." ”
Tang Anshu immediately asked, "What arrangements have you made?" ”
Sun Sandao: "I have sent Le Zhengxian to quietly return to Yongcheng, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Hu Shen, and I have also sent the squad leader of the Tianyan class, Bo Samadhi, to help him secretly. ”
Tang Anshu shook his head: "If you can kill Hu Shen with a cold gun, Fu Guodong would have already done it, which of the trenches under him is not as good as your Uncle Samadhi?" What can't even be done by trenches, do you think Le Zhengxian and Bo Samadhi have a good chance? Moreover, Le Zhengxian is bent on revenge, and people with this kind of mind can't control their emotions, and it is easy to fall into Hu Shen's trap. ”
Sun San was speechless, because it was the most convenient and easiest way he could think of.
Tang Anshu got up: "Please give me a fast boat, I want to go back to Yongcheng." ”
Sun San looked at Gu Feng, and Gu Feng hurriedly said, "We just came back, we are tired all the way, you need to rest." ”
Tang Anshu said: "I'm so good, I don't need to rest!" ”
Sun San saw that he couldn't stop Tang Anshu, and said: "There is one more thing, I have to tell you, although I promised Le Zhengxian not to tell you, but in this situation, I have to say." ”
Tang Anshu looked at Sun San, and Sun San said: "It's true that Le Zhengxian and Hu Shen have a grudge, but you don't know that he is your senior brother." ”
Tang Anshu was shocked: "What? ”
Sun San said: "Before Hu Shen accepted you as an apprentice, he once accepted Le Zhengxian as an apprentice. ”
Tang Anshu couldn't sit still even more when he heard this: "In this case, I have to return to Yongcheng immediately." ”
Sun San stopped Tang Anshu: "Anshu, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”
Tang Anshu pushed Sun San away: "My best friend is dead, I still have to think in the long run, Sun Dashuai, if you don't prepare a boat, I will swim back to Yongcheng now!" ”
Sun San had no choice but to say to Gu Feng: "Adjutant Gu, ask someone to prepare a fast boat." ”
Hearing Sun San say this, Tang Anshu sat down again, but his eyes were full of anger and his fists were clenched.

The courtyard of the Eight Kings was lit up again, just like a festival, and there were wine maids standing at each aisle, with a gentle smile on their faces, and the back kitchen was busy, bringing dishes into the Overlord Hall one by one.
In the old bustard's room, the old bustard waited anxiously, and after a long time, the door finally knocked, and she hurried to open the door, and saw several housekeepers outside the door carrying a box, and the leading account room was so excited that he could not speak.
The old bustard walked out slowly and stood in front of the box: "Really, really? ”
The bookkeeper opened the box and revealed the silver dollars with white flowers: "It's all true, I personally led someone to exchange the five thousand oceans from the money bank with the silver ticket." ”
The old bustard smiled, even if she was stoned to death with these silver dollars now, she would have to keep it that way.
"What's the whereabouts of this envoy Ye?" The bookkeeper looked at Yinyuan and said, "With such a generous shot, we will be given five thousand oceans a month in our Eight Kings Courtyard, and we will eat and drink separately." ”
The old bustard said, "What's the way?" Lord Wealth, let's wait, this is the best deal ever made since the opening of the Eight Kings Courtyard. ”
After speaking, the old bustard said again: "Hurry up, save the silver dollar back, tell the boss about this, you must tell the boss quietly, understand?" ”
The bookkeeper nodded and hurriedly led the people away, while the old bustard walked in the direction of the Overlord Hall with a smile, ready to ask if there was anything else needed.
She knew that as long as she served this God of Wealth well and this transaction was completed, she would not have to stay here all day to make people laugh.
When the old bustard came to the overlord hall, but didn't see Envoy Ye, she hurriedly asked before she knew that Envoy Ye had gone to the door, she quickly twisted her ass and went to the door, and just about to say hello, she saw Jiang Boqi and Li Songming who appeared at the door with a servant.
The old bustard hurriedly dodged in amusement.
An Wanghai stood at the door and hurriedly greeted him: "Jiang Ye, Li Ye, finally wait for the two of you." ”
Jiang Boqi and Li Songming hurriedly politely, Jiang Boqi said: "I'm really sorry, it's the two of us who didn't think about it thoughtfully, we were supposed to entertain Special Envoy Ye, look at this ......"
Li Songming echoed: "Yes, I didn't prepare anything when I came, I prepared two small gifts, and asked Special Envoy Ye to smile." ”
As he spoke, the servants of the two stepped forward and opened the box in their hands.
On the left is Jiang Boqi's gift, the box contains a golden pig, and Li Songming's box contains a golden bull.
An Wanghai saw these two gifts, and immediately said: "I thank you for the marshal and the young marshal, I have a heart." ”
Why?
Because Fengjun Zhang Dashuai is a pig, and the young marshal is a cow.
Jiang Boqi and Li Songming knew very well that if they gave gifts directly to Special Envoy Ye, it would be tantamount to offending Zhang Fuzhi, but they had to give it, what should they do? Envoy Ye came to Yongcheng, he would always get some oil and water, and he couldn't swallow it privately when he went back, so instead of bothering him, it was better to choose a gift for him, a golden pig, a golden cow, and it would be good to go back.
In doing so, Zhang Fuzhi must not be offended, so that Zhang Fuzhi will not suspect that they intend to contact Ye Yunzhi in private, and also let Ye Yunzhi know that the two are sensible people.
Jiang Boqi looked at the box and said, "Special Envoy Ye, these two gifts have two names each, one is called Nei Youqiankun. ”
Li Songming continued: "One is called icing on the cake. ”
"Oh? Is it? An Wanghai understood, picked up the golden pig in the box, and saw a silver ticket pressed underneath, although the silver ticket was folded, but deliberately exposed the denomination on the surface - two thousand oceans.
An Wanghai put down the golden pig with a smile, and when he was about to go to see the golden bull, he saw that Li Songming's smile was a little weird, he understood something, and just closed the box: "The two of you have a heart, please inside." ”
As he spoke, An Wanghai waved his hand and called the two wine maids next to him to bring the box: "You can send the box back to my room." ”
An Wanghai accompanied Jiang Boqi and Li Songming to take two steps, and suddenly stopped and said: "Two of you, there is a small gift, I have left it in the room, please move to the Overlord Hall first, I will be there soon." ”
An Wanghai quickly caught up with the two wine maids, and one of them rewarded a piece of silver: "Go to the Overlord Hall to serve, I'll take the box back myself." ”
After the two wine maids left, An Wanghai opened the box given by Li Songming and found that it was a silver ticket worth 5,000 oceans.
More than expected, two thousand plus five thousand, that is, seven thousand, as soon as this deal began, he made money, and he also found a good opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
An Wanghai took away the two thousand silver tickets sent by Jiang Boqi in the box, and did not touch Li Songming's five thousand silver tickets, and then came to the osmanthus house, deliberately let the servant leave, and then put the box in the cabinet in the house, and said after coming out: "There are important things in my house, you must show me a good look, if you lose it, take you and ask." ”
After speaking, An Wanghai swaggered away, he knew that the show had begun.
