"You can send someone to the Heart Cultivation Hall to inquire about it, and see what problems our emperor has encountered recently." Xia Lianyun said.

    " is. ”

    And at this time, in a private room in the drunken wind building, there were two masked people, one dressed in black, and the other wearing fine satin.

    The man in black looked at the somewhat timid person opposite, and a sarcastic smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth: "It's really ridiculous, the second master of the dignified Su Mansion would even make such a villain behave and send a little guy over to act as a façade." It seems that your second master is not interested in today's transaction, so he will leave first. With that, he flicked his sleeves and got up to leave.

    When the little guy heard this, his face turned pale, and he quickly got up and stayed: "Ah, Your Excellency, please ...... Please stay!" He didn't want his identity to be discovered by the other party, but at the moment, he couldn't let the other party go like this.

      began to shout anxiously in my heart: Second master, why haven't you shown up yet. I've been observing this for a few hours, why haven't I shown up yet?

    "Stay?Today, I sincerely came to meet with your master and discuss business. Since your master doesn't believe in you, why should you stay here to be bored. After speaking, he patted his bulging cuff pockets and continued: "It turns out that your master is not interested in this transaction, presumably there should be many pharmacists in this capital who are interested in this." ”

    "This ......" The little guy was speechless for a while.

    Suddenly, the door of the private room was opened from the outside, and Su Linxiu and Su Linzi each held a jade handle fan and a brocade robe, and walked in one after the other.

    Su Linxiu immediately put his eyes on the man in black, only to see that the man was dressed in black, and his face was also covered with a veil, and it seemed that he didn't want people to see his true face.

     But he was there at the moment, and his proud demeanor was revealed, but his eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, please take a seat, I really had some important things to deal with before, no, I rushed over as soon as I finished dealing with it, and there are many things to be slow, please forgive me." ”

    The man in black looked at him and sat down with a cold snort.

    The little guy saw that the master had come in, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, quickly got up and gave way, and began to stand aside and do the work of serving tea and water with a respectful face. Then he went out and guarded the door at the signal of Second Master Su.

    "May I ask your Excellency what you call it?" Su Linxiu glanced at Su Linzi beside him, and then looked at the man in black.

    The man in black glanced up at him, and there was a strong sense of arrogance in his tone: "I believe that Second Master Su has now known the news of the drastic changes in the Xia clan last night, and now the identities of our others are naturally to be kept secret, and I will not be able to tell the truth." ”

    "Hehe, this is nature, this is nature, it's just that there must be a name in a conversation for a while, otherwise it won't seem ......"

    "Big cow, Su Erye just calls it a big cow." ”

    "Big Bull?" Su Linxiu almost didn't choke on the tea in his mouth, looking at this person's style and posture, he still has a lot of identity, how can he come up with such a cheesy name?

    The man in black glanced at the two people opposite, pouted, and said, "It's just a code name." ”

    " Yes, yes. Brother Da Niu, let's start talking about business next, how about it?"

    "What's the hurry? You have been drying me for a few hours, and you can't allow me to fill my stomach before talking?"

    "It's nature, it's nature. Ah Cheng, you hurry up and talk to the shopkeeper and bring you a few of the most distinctive dishes in this drunken wind building. After giving the order at the door, he smiled at the man in black and said, "I don't know, Brother Da Niu is still used to eating the food in this drunken wind building?"

    The man in black snorted coldly again: "Second Master Su said something strange, I and the others just rushed over from outside the gate to take revenge, and the revenge has not been avenged, where do you still want to come to this kind of place to eat and drink?"

    "That's the case, at that moment, Brother Da Niu really wanted to taste a few special dishes of this drunken wind building. When Su Linxiu heard this, he hurriedly snorted, and glanced at Su Linzi beside him again.

    Both of them got a message in their hearts at the same time, it turned out that the person who wiped out the Xia clan overnight was actually from outside the Guan!

    I heard that Xia's medicinal herb business has indeed been involved outside the Guan, if this group of people really came from Guanren, it would be no wonder.

    It must be that the Xia clan did something to destroy their conscience outside the gate, which led to people coming to seek revenge even if they left their hometowns.

    A few special dishes were quickly served, and the man in black did not shirk politeness, signaled to the two people opposite, and directly picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

    Su Linzi picked up the wine jug next to him and filled the wine glass in the hand of the man in black, and said with a smile: "I have been to Guanwai several times in the past few years, I don't know which area of the Guanwai clan Brother Da Niu is?"

    The man in black picked up the hand holding the wine glass and paused slightly, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Su Linzi with a vigilant face, and the other hand holding the chopsticks also touched a long sword hanging from his waist at this moment.

    The atmosphere in the private room was a little tense for a while, and Su Linxiu hurriedly laughed and said: "Brother Da Niu doesn't have to be so nervous, my brother's question is just out of our hospitality etiquette in the gate, and it's okay if you don't answer." Come on, this is the most famous wine in the drunken wind restaurant, you hurry up and try it to see if it suits your taste. ”

    The man in black withdrew his gaze on Su Linzi, glanced at Su Linxiu, then took the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, and then praised it: "It's really good wine!" While relaxing his vigilance, he withdrew his hand on the saber, picked up his chopsticks again and began to eat.

    Su Linxiu hurriedly said: "Brother Da Niu likes it, if you like it, it's good." When you go back in a while, I will tell the shopkeeper to bring you some back, so that you can drink it whenever you want. While giving Su Linzi a look, Su Linzi raised his eyebrows and filled the wine glass to the man in black again.

    The man in black nodded and seemed to be very satisfied with Su Linxiu's arrangement, and then thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really that I waited for this time to do a bit big, I heard that the Xia family also has a daughter in the palace as the queen mother, I have to be cautious." ”

    "This is natural, but in order to show our sincerity, I can also reveal to you: the situation of the Queen Mother in the palace is not as glamorous as she seems, you can rest assured." Su Linxiu said meaningfully.

    "Oh, is that so?" The man in black obviously didn't believe it, after all, he was the queen mother of a country, and no matter how difficult the situation was, he should have some real power in his hands.

    "We are about to cooperate, Su has no reason to deceive you, does he?"

    The man in black nodded, as if he had finally let go of the stone in his heart, and drank several glasses of wine in a row.

    Su Linxiu saw that his face seemed to be a little drunk, so he continued slowly: "It's just that I heard that the Xia family has indeed expanded the medicinal material business outside the customs a few years ago, and I heard that the business is very prosperous, and the profit return is also quite large, so that the major pharmaceutical companies in the capital are very red, and they all want to get a piece of the pie." However, a few pharmacists sent people to investigate, but the news brought back by the spies was that the people over there only recognized the door number of Xia's pharmacist, and others couldn't reach in at all. But I regretted it for a while. Alas......"

    As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the person opposite suddenly put the wine glass on the table, and said angrily: "This Xia clan is simply a wolf that can't be fed, even when our clansmen respect them so much, they even use evil magic to control us." Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and now the sins committed by the Xia clan in our clan have finally been smoothed out. ”

    "Oh? Listening to Brother Da Niu say this, it seems that there are still many hidden secrets in this? Evil arts? Is there anyone else in this world who can do this kind of trick now? Didn't I hear that it is extinct?" Su Linxiu frowned and asked.

    The man in black pouted: "The nature they make is not a real evil art, it's just that the medicinal herbs we have caught are mixed with something addictive to it." ”

    Su Linzi lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Addictive things...... Could it be Wushi San?" Then he raised his eyes to look at Su Linxiu beside him, and saw that his eyes were also shocked, and he had obviously guessed it.

    The man in black nodded and praised: "This brother is very knowledgeable, we specially brought the medicine we grabbed from Xia's pharmacy to the capital, and asked several doctors to identify it, and they also said that the medicine bag was mixed with a small amount of Wushi powder." Because the amount of adulteration was small, it was more difficult to notice, and it was only after a year that my clansmen gradually discovered that they were dependent on their family's medicine. Because the medicine caught in other pharmacies has no effect at all, and it is more and more uncomfortable, so they can only go there to grab the medicine, for a long time, their medicinal materials are sold more and more practiced, but as long as everyone is sick to grab the medicine, but they can only choose to go to Xia's pharmacy. This is also the reason why you sent someone over there to investigate, why you saw that we only recognized Xia's Pharmacy. ”

    "Then how did you find out about the methods they used later?" The amount of information obtained was too large, and Su Linzi hurriedly asked.

    Su Lin Xiu glanced at him and said, "These five stone powders, if only a small amount is occasionally mixed with medicinal materials on weekdays, it can appropriately alleviate the pain of the patient. However, even if the patient uses Wushisan every day, the patient's body will not only not improve, but will also become thinner and thinner, as thin as dry bones, and it will not be far from death if it really reaches that point. After speaking, Su Linxiu sighed heavily: "I can't imagine that this Xia clan can even do this kind of thing that loses the conscience of heaven in order to make money, and now that the whole clan has been destroyed, it is not so much that they are retaliated against by you, but that their behavior can't even stand the gods, so they sent you to execute the way of heaven for the sky!"

    As soon as his words fell, the man in black on the opposite side excitedly slapped the table again and praised it: "Second Master Su's words are good! The world has its own cause and effect, and the evil that they planted in the Xia clan before is naturally the time to taste the evil consequences now! Come on, do one!"

    Su Linxiu was also happy, picked up the wine glass and touched the rim of the glass and drank it all.

    After dinner, the two sides began to trade.

    The two people handed over the silver ticket in one hand and the store title deed in the other, and then counted and reviewed each other.

    The man in black saw that the two people on the other side were holding the title deed and studying it carefully, so he was a little annoyed, and pursed the corners of his mouth and said: "This is something that we took out from the secret room where the Xia clan patriarch was hiding, so naturally it can't be faked." If I hadn't known that you had a father who was the prime minister in the court, I wouldn't have considered buying it for you at such a cheap price. ”

    Su Linxiu glanced at Su Linzi beside him, and then answered: "Brother Da Niu is wrong, if the land deeds of these dozen or so pharmacies are usually sold by the people of the Xia family, the price is naturally very high." But now, the Xia family has just been wiped out by you, and the things in the hands of our brothers are like a hot potato, and the risks to be borne here can be imagined, and you also know that there is a queen mother surnamed Xia in the palace. The implication is that they are also taking a great risk by making a deal with him.

    "But didn't you just say that the Queen Mother was not enough?" the man in black frowned, obviously not believing his words.

    "The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how she loses power now, if she really wants to take revenge, it will be enough for us brothers to drink a pot." ”

    "Okay, Second Master Su, as long as you do business, there will be risks, you actually came here today, and you must have already thought of countermeasures." Don't get cheap anymore and sell well. ”

    Su Linxiu said seriously: "Brother Da Niu, what I just said is not alarmist. Fortunately, this capital is not only their Xia family's home, but also the territory of our brothers, but your group is different, if the matter is over, it is better to go home early. lest you have long nights and many dreams. ”

    The man in black nodded and arched his hand at him: "Thank you two for your kindness, we also have this intention, but I still have the title deeds of the medicine shops in other cities of the Xia clan in my hand, and it is difficult to get rid of it at this time." After speaking, he sighed with an embarrassed face.

    Su Linxiu heard this, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, which was a manifestation that he wanted to use stratagems to trap people.

     I saw him glance at Su Linzi again, and when he saw him nodding at himself, he said: "That's the case, then our brothers can help some, but I don't know how many pharmacies there are Brother Da Niu, and how many pharmacy deeds, if it is not too much, and your asking price is not too high, our two brothers are willing to do their part." After all, the two brothers have limited financial resources at hand. ”

When Da Niu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "I don't know how many it is, it seems that there are more than 100." ”

     "What? more than a hundred?" Su Linxiu and Su Linzi exclaimed at the same time, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

    The man in black thought that they were worried that they didn't have enough money, so he immediately said: "Don't be nervous, if you really mean this, then this price is naturally negotiable, and the rest of the pharmacies are branches in other cities, and this price naturally cannot be compared with the shops in the capital." ”

    Su Linxiu tried his best to suppress the shock in his eyes and asked, "I don't know if those land deeds are also on you?"

    The man in black hurriedly took out all the land deeds hidden on his body and put them in front of the two Su Linxiu brothers: "It's all here, I originally planned to go to another restaurant to discuss with other pharmacists after the transaction with you." However, if you are also interested, it would be great, after all, if you want to eat Xia's piece of fat, you must also have a certain background. If there is no backstage, then it will be troublesome to find out the person waiting for us. ”

    Su Linzi saw that his younger brother glanced at him excitedly, indicating that these title deeds were real, so he took over the conversation and said with a serious face: "Brother Da Niu is really thoughtful, but this money is ......."

    "Why not?"

    Su Linzi shook his head: "If it's other small things, it doesn't hurt if the buyer asks for it first, but the transaction we have made now is not an ordinary thing, and it is better for the big bull brother to open his mouth." ”

    After hearing this, the man in black began to fall into deep thought, and the atmosphere in the private room fell into silence for a while.

    Su Linxiu tightened his fists a little nervously, and when Su Linzi on the side saw this, he raised his hand and pinched the back of his hand, signaling him to be calmer, how old are people, and he can still be nervous like this.

    Su Linxiu replied to him with a roll of his eyes and said silently: You are jealous that I picked up this big pie today!

    The silent communication between the two brothers did not affect the thinking of the man in black, and after a while, he hesitated and spit out a number: "There should be more than a hundred land deeds here, let's count it as an integer, one hundred." That's it...... 500,000 taels is good?"

    Su Linxiu's tightened fists trembled, and he was about to speak, but he was preempted by the eldest brother next to him: "500,000 taels?

    "Naturally, it's silver, hehe......" The man in black quickly replied.

    Su Linzi nodded: "It stands to reason that the number you gave is indeed not high, but ...... Second brother, I remember that you bought a large batch of medicinal materials some time ago, how much silver do you have in your hand now?" After speaking, he secretly glanced at Su Linxiu.

    Su Linxiu understood what he meant, he was going to use a reason to press the price again, although it was a bit unkind to do so, but there was no business or treachery, and if he could do less, he would be less.

    He stretched out a finger and said to him, "There are only 200,000 silver left." After speaking, he hurriedly said: "Big brother, this big bull brother looks like a straightforward person, the longer he stays in this capital, the more dangerous it becomes, no matter what we say this time, we have to help him." ”

    Su Linzi nodded, and then said with an embarrassed face: "I have this heart, but I was busy opening a branch some time ago, and the amount of money in my hand is almost the only one." After speaking, he compared a number, which was obviously 100,000 taels.

     "What? It's only 100,000 taels? That adds up to only 300,000 taels, which is a full 200,000 taels short of the 500,000 taels that the Da Niu brothers said." Su Linxiu exclaimed, while glaring at him secretly at a certain angle, how could this guy dare to open this mouth, the price is so low, be careful that you can't get anything for a while.

    Su Linzi ignored him, still pretending to be very embarrassed and said, "Yes, there is so much difference, how can this be good?"

     "Otherwise, let's go back and borrow some from Dad to come over for a while?" Su Linxiu asked tentatively.

    Su Linzi shook his head directly and refused: "This matter must not be known to my father, otherwise, let alone help Brother Da Niu, I am afraid that it will hurt him in the end." ”

    "Ah?

    The man in black opposite saw the two brothers singing a double reed in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times unconsciously, and said in his heart: This uncle and second master of Sufu are really two iron roosters worthy of their reputation!

    However, fortunately, the master also intends to give it to them for free, just symbolically receive a little, don't let them be suspicious.

    "300,000 taels is 300,000 taels, but I ask that all these silver taels be exchanged for the kind of silver tickets that can be accessed all over the world, after all, it will take a long time to return from this capital to our customs, so it can be safer." ”

    "Deal!" This time, Su Linxiu didn't give Su Linzi a chance to speak, and replied first.

    In a dark, damp secret room, there was silence.

    Xia clan patriarch Xia Huaide was dressed in a satin brocade robe, which was full of wrinkles, and the neat and smooth black and white hair that was usually combed was like a bird's nest at this time, and it was a mess.

     and the desperate look on his face at this time, he looked embarrassed and depressed. He couldn't have imagined that the Xia clan was supported by him, and in the end, it only lasted for a few years before it was wiped out.

    The most hateful thing is that he doesn't even know who the other party is and when he got such a powerful enemy!

    If it weren't for the fact that at the critical moment, he shouted at the man in black who stabbed him in the chest with his long sword held high: "Wait! When the great master of the dynasty once owed Xia a certain promise, if your Excellency killed me so recklessly, wouldn't you be afraid of the revenge of the great master?"

    Perhaps his words played a role, causing the man in black to deflect his sword away, but it was able to stab the chest of his original wife, Xia, who was hiding behind him.

    Every time he remembered the eyes that his wife looked at him before she died, Xia Huaide's heart was full of guilt. This woman has been with her for decades, not only tolerant of the concubines in her backyard, but also considerate of herself. But in the end, because if he had gone early, he always wondered during this time, if she hadn't married him at the beginning, would she be able to enjoy her old age smoothly?

    Suddenly, the sound of several iron doors colliding came from the entrance, obviously someone came in, Xia Huaide hurriedly sat up straight, intending to face the next situation in the best state, and try to increase his bargaining chips for himself.

    Giggle......

     One after another, steady footsteps gradually moved from far to near.

    When Xia Huaide saw the person coming clearly, his mouth opened wide in surprise.

     pointed to the man outside the iron prison and stammered, "Yes...... Is that you?"

    The person who came was Liqing, but he didn't pay attention to him for the first time, but motioned to the people behind him to put the soft couch in his hand behind him, and then waved them out.

     waved his sleeves and lay directly on the soft couch, with a very lazy atmosphere, only to see his lips slightly outlined a good-looking arc, and his cold voice sounded: "Yes, it's the palace." Patriarch Xia's health is still well?"

    Xia Huaide didn't hear the overtones in the Qing dialect: "Okay...... Good. Is the National Teacher here to pick up the old man out?" After speaking, he looked at Liqing expectantly.

     Seeing that the man shook his head at him, Xia Huaide's body stiffened, and then he pulled out an ugly smile and said, "Also...... Also, judging from the old man's current situation, it is obviously not easy to get out. I don't know what the conditions of the National Teacher are this time?"

    There was a hint of sarcasm hidden in Liqing's eyes: "Patriarch Xia is the opposite, you should say, what chips do you have in your hand now that can make this palace rescue you." ”

    Xia Huaide's face changed slightly, and then he forced a smile: "The National Teacher laughed, it turned out that the National Teacher would appear here today, I think there should be something in the old man's hand that has entered the eyes of the National Teacher." Why do you want to be dumb with the old man again?"

    Liqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and said secretly: It is worthy of an old fox, in just a few words, turning passive into active. Unfortunately, he is not the same person he was a few years ago.

    A few years ago, he was leaving the green, just leaving the green.

    Today, a few years later, Liqing is no longer the Liqing of the year, he has too many things in his heart at the moment, there are people and things he cares about.

    ------off-topic------

    Huh, finally the code is good, dear opinions, Yuanzi has received it, and I promise to continue to change as much as possible in the future, and insist on more and more.
