Chapter 216: The old thief is really powerful
"How?" Mr. Youya pushed a cup of tea to Xie Xun's hand.
Xie Xun didn't serve the cup of tea, he promised that the cheap dad would do it if he didn't eat and drink here in Youya.
He regained his lazy demeanor and leaned on the pillow behind him like a boneless, "What does the gentleman want?" β
Mr. Youya secretly praised his concentration!
Seeing that kind of evidence, it was so quick to return to normal, it was not like an eighteen-year-old young man.
"The staff of the five towns and the state mansions. The old man doesn't pick, just five, as long as it's a staff member. How is it? β
"Nope." Xie Xun didn't want to refuse directly, "None of the people in my Zhenguo Mansion will be handed over to the emperor." β
The corners of Mr. Youya's mouth hooked slightly, "Xie Shizi is worried that those people will leak the secrets of the Zhenguo Mansion?" The old man said that there is no need for key people to ......"
"It has nothing to do with leaking or not leaking." Xie Xun put his right arm on the pillow, "The Zhenguo Mansion never does anything to exchange life for life. β
"Xie Shizi is planning to give up the lives of the Xie clan? That's your brother...... Xie Shizi has to think about it. Mr. Youya pressed twice on the paper bag, "Once this thing is announced to the public, it will not only kill your clan brother, but even the position of the head of Xie Shangshu's hundred officials will be shaken!" β
That paper bag did contain something deadly.
Xie Xun's brother, Xie Yun, is in the Ministry of Officials. In the autumn of three years ago, Xie Yun was involved in the case of selling exam questions privately, and he also killed a poor scholar because of it. The officials below appeased the scholar's family with silver, and then they were fine.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and that incident was captured by Mr. Youya's protΓ©gΓ© as the key evidence.
It is a big crime to leak questions in the imperial examination, especially if you sell exam questions privately, it is light to kill your head, and if you don't get it right, you will implicate the family.
However, Xie Yun is the only great-grandson of the seventh prince with the longest rank in the clan!
If something happens to Xie Yun, the Seventh Master is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.
When he first saw the contents of the paper bag, Xie Xun broke out in a cold sweat.
is worthy of being an old thief, holding such a deadly thing in his hand, but he has only taken it out until now!
Probably because the emperor was forced to be anxious, he gave up the pain.
Xie Xun couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had enough chips to exchange for these things.
"Didn't the emperor want those staff members just to make jade tools? To tell the gentleman the truth, there are a total of 12 of these tools, which are the first of their kind in the world, and the staff in the palace have never seen them so far. β
Mr. Youya chuckled knowingly, "Xie Shizi, there should be more than these tools for making jade, sewing machines, ice-making, bicycles, glass mirrors...... All the novelties were created by Xie Shizi, right? β
"You said this, sir, but I didn't admit it."
These things involve the crime of bullying the king, and Xie Xun will only admit it if he is stupid.
Mr. Youya didn't bother with this problem, "It's okay if you don't hand over people, the old man wants to make jade tool drawings and glass mirror production recipes, less the same, Xie Shizi will wait for these things to be revealed to the world!" β
"Deal." Xie Xun decisively agreed.
The drawings of the jade making tools and the production of glass mirrors could be exchanged for such a deadly thing, and he did not lose money on this transaction.
"Mr. Youya, you should know what this son is like, and you will repay you for protecting your shortcomings, if you let this son know that you dare to play tricks in this matter, the entire Yu family is waiting to eat this son's return."
Xie Xun's face suddenly changed to cold, and Mr. Youya immediately felt a strong pressure.
This young man is a man of his word and absolutely does what he says.
Xie Xun is sometimes very gentlemanly, but if you want to deceive the gentleman, you will find that he is so evil that people are afraid, especially when he retaliates against others, he will definitely kill him.
"Xie Shizi, rest assured, the old man still has some credibility."
Xie Xun nodded, grabbed the paper bag, threw it to Jiuwan, and flicked the folds on his sleeve, "The drawings and recipes will be sent by someone later." β
"Mr. Youya is worthy of being the head of Qingyang Academy, amazing!" Xie Xun smiled and gave a thumbs up to Mr. Youya.
Mr. Youya humbly bowed his hand, "Xie Shizi agreed." β
Not long after Xie Xun left, Jiuwan sent the drawings and recipes over.
Mr. Youya's old servant was still a little incredulous, "Xie Shizi just handed over these two money-making baby bumps?" Something that can be solved by handing over a few slaves~"
Mr. Youya raised his head and sighed, "What a trick!" β
A few staff members who have signed the deed of identity seem to be unimportant, but they can chill the hearts of those who follow the Xie family. This is also the trap that Mr. Youya planted in this transaction, but unfortunately Xie Xun refused to jump, and would rather give up the baby pimple of making money.
exchanging money-making dead things for people's hearts, between trade-offs, but showing great wisdom.
"The afterlife is terrifying!" Mr. Youya closed his eyes and sighed.
The twelve drawings and the recipe for the production of the glass mirror made the emperor's dragon heart happy.
"Sir is really talented!"
It's not easy to make the big and small foxes of the Xie family obediently spit out baby bumps.
"How did you do it, sir?" The Emperor asked curiously.
Mr. Youya bowed and was silent, he couldn't spit on that matter. Even if those evidences are in the light of day and shake the position of Xie Shangshu's top hundred officials, it will not hurt the foundation of the Xie family, if Xie Xun retaliates, the Yu family will not be able to bear it.
Originally, he didn't use those things now.
The emperor knew that there must be something greasy in it, but he did not persecute Youya. What he wants is the result, so what does it matter what means the courtiers use?
The Emperor laughed, "Sir did a good job this time. It's just a pity that I forgot to explain to Mr. in advance and get that paper armor building technique with me......"
Mr. Youya secretly scolded the emperor for his lack of heart!
"Paper armor building is a weapon of the country, and it is impossible for the Xie family to hold it all the time, and sooner or later he will take the initiative to give it up. The tools for making jade are different, they are things that merchants make money, and if Xie does not take the initiative to take them, the court cannot force them. β
The emperor slapped his thigh, "Sir is right! β
Paper armor building technique, he can also use the name of the imperial court to coerce and lure.
Thinking of the red jade belt tied around Xie Shangshu's waist, the emperor was eager to try.
The parts were already available, and he immediately summoned the people from the Ministry of Works.
Against the drawings, the people of the Ministry of Engineering quickly assembled twelve tools.
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu complained with some annoyance, "Xie Shizi is also broken, and he actually stuffed a lot of useless things into the parts, no wonder we have not been able to assemble suitable tools." β
Others chimed in and scolded Xie Xun for being a treacherous man.
The Emperor was busy watching the craftsmen cut, polish, carve, and polish the jade with those tools, and did not reproach the fools who had no brains but blamed the enemy for their treachery.
"Your Majesty, look." The craftsman presented the immaculately polished ruby to the emperor.
The emperor looked at the red jade in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and quickly frowned again, "How can the luster of this red jade not feel as gorgeous as the red jade belt?" I remember that the red jade belt seemed to have red clouds surging in the sunlight. β
The emperor held the jade and looked at it repeatedly in the sun, and the more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became.
The craftsman made a bitter face, "Your Majesty, this kind of red jade can only be polished to such an effect." If you want to meet the light and come out of the red cloud, you need better rough stones. β
With a snap, the emperor smashed the piece of red jade on the ground, "Do you mean that the red jade in my treasure house is not as good as the one dug out of the mud pit in the south of the city?" β
