Chapter 102: Who's Smarter
It was a horse breeder in the Song Mansion.
When he arrived at the gate, he stuffed the letter he was carrying with him with a few grains of broken silver to the porter, and left the sentence 'This is a letter written by our lord to Miss Chen Er', and then turned around and left.
He didn't even report his identity.
The porter didn't know which adult the other party was talking about, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent the letter to Qingzhi Courtyard.
Chen Anning opened the letter and glanced at it twice, then couldn't help but smile, "What a big hand." ”
Whether it is Song Shizhong's handwriting or not, Chen Anning doesn't know.
But the letter said that as long as she was willing to testify that the mastermind of the underground Colosseum was someone else, she would give her 500,000 taels of silver.
500,000 taels of silver......
The books of the underground Colosseum did not have so much silver on their books, where did Song Shizhong get so much money?
Handing the letter to Chunrui, Chen Anning instructed: "Put the letter on the bald tree in the courtyard, tell him, and send it to Master Xie immediately." ”
Who was he, Chunrui didn't ask, and she didn't read the letter. After folding the letter and putting it back in the envelope, he put the letter on the bald tree in the courtyard as instructed, and said, "Miss Chen Er has explained, and this letter will be sent to Lord Xie immediately." ”
No one answered.
But as she turned to go back to the house, a dark shadow scurried out like lightning to retrieve the letter, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Xie Xun did not reply.
Song Shizhong's people did not come back that night.
Until the evening three days later.
Seeing that she did not move.
Song Shizhong's talent is here again.
This time it was still a little girl, and the little guy didn't give her any more letters.
Instead, it was given to Chen Fanghai.
Chen Fanghai's leg has been raised for two months, and it is almost better.
But the leg is healed, but the lost family status can never be returned.
It's not that I don't want to resist, it's that every time I resist, Qiu will threaten 'If you dare to touch me, I will let you never want to be an official again for the rest of your life'.
In addition, with the emperor's confidence to marry Xie Xun and Chen Anning, if the best 'can't give birth to eggs' in the past can hit Qiu's sore spot at once, Chen Fanghai didn't dare to say it anymore, and his momentum was even weaker.
Hearing that the porter said that it was a letter sent by an 'adult', Chen Fanghai didn't even avoid it, so he tore the letter open arrogantly in front of Qiu's face.
After reading the contents of the letter, he glanced towards Qiu with a weak heart.
Qiu was illiterate.
But she knows people.
As soon as he saw his expression, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps to snatch the letter, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Okay, it's not enough to spoil the cheap maid in the family, and dare to raise a little slut outside!" ”
Looking at the servant girl who quickly knelt on the ground, Chen Fanghai was annoyed and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
"What nonsense am I talking about?" Qiu sneered, "Then tell me, what is written on it!" ”
Chen Fanghai knew that if she didn't make it clear, she would make a lot of trouble, and the things in the letter also needed her to deal with, so after cooperating with the mother-in-law and maidservant in the house, she said with a cold face: "The letter was written to me by Lord Song." ”
"What Lord Song, which Lord Song, let me make it clear to you!" Qiu did not give up.
"Who else can Lord Song?" Chen Fanghai didn't have a good breath and said, "Of course it's Song Fu's grandfather, who has just been deprived of his official position by the emperor and confined to Lord Song of Taifu Temple at home!" ”
Qiu Shi looked at the letter, then at him, although he didn't believe it, his attitude softened and said, "What did he write to you for?" ”
Chen Fanghai wanted to stab her with a sentence of 'what to do, you won't watch it yourself', but looking at her cannibalistic gaze, he could only hold his breath and say: "Say that you can reinstate me as an official, or even go up two ranks, and you can give me another 500,000 taels of silver, but the premise is to convince that evil obstacle to prove that the other people are the masterminds of the underground Colosseum." ”
"Five hundred thousand taels of silver?" Qiu Shi looked at the letter again.
Chen Fanghai snorted coldly, snatched the letter from her hand, and pointed to the six words of 500,000 taels of silver to show her.
Although Qiu is illiterate, he still knows these six characters. Fingers greedily touched these words, and she asked almost obsessively, "Is he really willing to give us 500,000 taels of silver?" Could it be that An Ning testified against others, and he would not admit it? ”
Chen Fanghai sneered: "The emperor has given marriage to the evil obstacle and Lord Xie, no matter how high the official position of Lord Song is, can it still be higher than the Guangling Palace?" ”
"Yes, yes," Qiu said with a toothless smile, "The emperor has given us An Ning and Lord Xie a marriage, if he dares to deny the account, then sue the emperor and let the emperor call the shots for us." ”
Chen Fanghai didn't bother to scold her for wishful thinking, so he only sneered: "The silver hasn't arrived yet, what are you happy about?" ”
"What's the hurry?" Qiu Shi glanced at him coldly with disdain, "If you can't get it, it's not a matter of our peace and quiet." However, although we are not afraid that he will not admit it, we must guard against others. Since he asks for us, he should first come out with some sincerity. ”
"We don't want more, just let him take two first...... One hundred thousand taels of silver. ”
Chen Fanghai's heart moved faintly, and he immediately echoed: "You are right. ”
Qiu said proudly: "Of course I am right. ”
Chen Fanghai didn't argue with her, pinched his sleeves, and said as he walked to the study: "Then I'll reply to the letter." ”
Qiu nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”
Chen Fanghai entered the study, secretly glanced in the direction of the main room, and after making sure that she did not follow, he quickly closed the door, went to the bookcase, grinded the ink indiscriminately, and picked up the pen to write the letter.
He did not ask for 100,000 taels of silver, but asked for him to be reinstated.
Afraid that Qiu would ask to see the letter, Chen Fanghai finished writing the letter, and immediately sent it to the doorman.
For his operation, Chen Anning naturally saw it in his eyes.
Since Song Shizhong's people sent a letter for the first time that day, she asked Hexiang to secretly explain to the porter, and if someone sent a letter, no matter who it was for, she had to tell her as soon as possible.
Although she didn't read the content of the letter, she could guess what Song Shizhong would tempt Chen Fanghai, and she also knew that Chen Fanghai would be fooled.
She didn't stop it.
Anyway, whether it is Song Shizhong or Chen Fanghai, if they want to achieve their goal, they will come to her in the end.
She just waited.
It didn't make her wait any longer.
Song Shizhong also expected that Chen Fanghai would not refuse his offer.
Chen Fanghai's letter was delivered to the concierge less than half an hour before it was taken away by Song Shizhong's people.
On the morning of the second day, Song Shizhong's reply arrived.
Chen Anning still didn't read the contents of the letter.
Because not long after the porter took the letter to Chen Fanghai, the Qiu family came to Qingzhi Courtyard.
Before Qiu entered Qingzhi Hospital, he was still very confident. But when I entered Qingzhi Courtyard and looked at the bare trees in the yard, my confidence was completely discharged.
After choosing the farthest position from Chen Anning and sitting down, he waited for Hexiang to bring the tea before coughing lightly twice, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you haven't been out for a few days, the case over there in Heping Fang has been investigated?" ”
Chen Anning lifted her eyes and looked at her, "Mother knows, who took the official from Lord Song?" ”
Qiu Shi moved his buttocks and said uneasily: "Who doesn't know this, of course it's the emperor." ”
Chen Anning hooked the corners of his mouth, "Is that the emperor's great, or is it the Song lord?" ”
Qiu Shi sneered: "What are you asking for?" ”
"Don't do anything," Chen Anning said casually, "I just want to remind my mother that the emperor has taken away Lord Song's official position, so it proves that Lord Song is guilty." Father and mother privately accepted money from Lord Song, and to rehabilitate him, it is tantamount to accusing the emperor of wrongdoing. ”
"I didn't know when my father and mother were so capable that even the emperor dared to accuse."
As soon as Qiu's body went limp, he slid towards the ground.
