"You've said this phrase many times for a drink. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"But I'm not a person who just talks and doesn't practice, every time I say a treat, I invite it. ”

The proprietress said.

"Where does the gold come from?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"The God of Wealth gave it. ”

The proprietress said.

"You really think there is a God of Wealth in this world. ”

Liu Ruiying smiled and asked.

"Why don't you believe it? ”

The proprietress said.

"So you believe it?"

Liu Ruiying was a little surprised.

The hostess is not a person who can be swayed by others.

But now it's the same thing.

Doing things without thinking about it will inevitably be biased.

Although there are many examples in this world of making a vigorous event as soon as the head is hot, it is a minority after all, and it is a special case.

Believe what others say, and follow the crowd in this way, although you can avoid being excluded, but at the same time, you are doomed to vulgarity.

Liu Ruiying has also experienced such a moment of choice.

When he was in the Investigation Division, he tried to be like everyone else.

It's not a sacrifice to be lazy, it's just a sacrifice to fit into a certain circle as soon as possible.

But when he tried his best to be a good gentleman, he found that his life had not changed much.

People who don't get along still can't get along.

Xiao Jinkan, who has the closest relationship with him, although he suffered from his snub, he is still the person who has the closest relationship with him.

There are not many friends, but there are no fewer people who are not used to him.

So what's the trouble of doing this?

There is nothing but forcing oneself and reaching a stomach full of soreness and grievances.

In the past, when he encountered such incomprehensible things, he would go to the old stables to talk.

But this time he didn't.

It wasn't because of anything else, but he felt that he was a little too embarrassed to say it, and it was hard to speak.

After all, a person's direction and thinking are ultimately determined by themselves.

No matter how much experience and advice others tell him, it will be useless.

You have to eat your own food, and you have to walk your own way.

No matter how much you know, it's better to suffer a loss in person.

Although Liu Ruiying has not read so many books, at least she is not illiterate.

The truths in the book are nothing more than dry lines.

How to turn this word into practical use is a lifelong practice.

To this day, Liu Ruiying's biggest feeling is that although the truth in the book is not necessarily correct, it must be too shallow.

Whether it is the subset of scriptures and histories that are full of people, or those legends with great powers, they all have the same criticism.

That's black and white, right and wrong at a glance.

From the beginning of leaving the middle capital, Liu Ruiying gradually denied the truths and stories in these books in her heart.

Everyone has a bad side, but no one is always bad.

Tang Zhongsong's father, Tang Ming, the governor of Dingzhou, colluded with the steppe wolf to ride, which can be said to be a heinous crime.

But when Liu Ruiying knew that he was just trying to protect his small family, he could only say that he was a little selfish.

The only difference is that Tang Ming is in a high position, and the price of selfishness must be much more than that of ordinary people.

Liu Ruiying compared his heart to his heart, feeling that everyone is the same small, and in the face of righteousness and Xiaodao, he will also make the same choice as Tang Ming.

Since they are all the same, what right do they have to stand on the high ground and criticize the actions of others?

A lot of things, it's not that you didn't do it.

It's that you don't have a chance, you don't have the ability.

If you are given the same opportunity, the same ability, no one will never do it.

Maybe it's even more exaggerated......

This kind of change cannot be prevented by being prepared in advance.

It's that when it comes to that moment, the changes that happen are always unexpected.

Just like this boss lady in front of you.

Liu Ruiying knew that she would definitely not believe the words of the God of Wealth......

But when this group of laborers came in, each with a gold ingot in their hands, the proprietress had to believe it.

"After seeing the gold, I not only believe that there is a God of Wealth in this world, but I also believe that there is really a boy who scatters wealth under the seat of the God of Wealth. ”

The proprietress said.

"The God of Wealth and the Fortune Boy seem to be two legends. ”

Jin Peng interjected.

"If it's a legend, why bother with it?"

The proprietress turned her head to Jin Peng and said.

"My name is Jin Peng!"

Jin Peng continued.

But he started to introduce himself.

"Don't you think it's too late to say that?"

The proprietress said.

"Do you need to introduce your name sooner or later, unless you don't want to know who I am. ”

Jin Peng said.

"You're right, I really don't want to know. ”

The proprietress said.

"I just think it's a minimum of politeness to tell someone who is going to invite me for a drink what my name is. ”

Jin Peng said.

"I volunteered to be treated. Whether you want to drink or not to drink is all in you. But you said your name, and I heard it, and it forced me to remember who you were. ”

The proprietress said.

"Isn't it good to have more than one person?"

Jin Peng asked.

"Not good, not at all! Especially people like you, who don't know anyone. ”

The proprietress said.

"People like us, aren't we friendly enough?"

Jin Peng asked rhetorically.

"Of course you're friendly, but you're friendly to everyone. I like people who are only good to me. ”

The proprietress said.

"Isn't it even more reluctant for you to do this than if I told you your name?"

Jin Peng asked.

"You can also choose not to be friendly to me, where is the element of reluctance?"

The proprietress said.

Jin Peng nodded.

It's not that there's nothing to say.

It's just that he doesn't feel the need to continue to wrestle.

When the proprietress saw the hard workers in the mines, she put all the gold on the counter and ordered meat to eat for the first time.

Since they have money, the proprietress can't refuse them.

After collecting the money, I had to obediently cook meat for them.

"You all know all these hard laborers, right?"

Jin Peng looked at the bustling crowd in the hall and asked.

I don't know if to ask Liu Ruiying or Yuedi.

"The face is basically familiar. But if I want to know, I only know that one person!"

Liu Ruiying pointed to Xu Laosi who was sitting in the corner.

He didn't order meat and didn't drink alcohol.

As usual, I drank wine all night and asked for a stack of braised vegetables.

It's just that this time he asked for dried tofu, but it was two more than before.

I kept playing with that piece of gold in my hand.

At this moment, of course, gold is more delicious than braised vegetables.

After a while, Xu Laosi finished drinking a bowl.

Liu Ruiying saw him stretch his body, and saved two pieces of dried tofu in front of him.

A person's habits are really hard to change.

In the past, he could drink a bowl of wine with a piece of dried beans.

Now, although I have a lot of money, I can afford to buy three pieces of dried tofu.

But he was still a piece of dried tofu, accompanied by a bowl of wine.

"He's a martial artist. ”

Jin Peng looked at Xu Laosi for a while and said.

"Still for the swordsman. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"He told you?"

Jin Peng asked.

"No, I saw it myself. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

Jin Peng pursed his lips, he had long heard that among the hard workers in this mine, there was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

There was still wine on the table, but no one drank it anymore.

Yuedi's gaze carefully swept over the faces of each of these laborers.

Liu Ruiying didn't know what she was trying to write.

"Each man was given a gold ingot of one hundred taels, and there were forty-seven people in all. ”

Yuedi said.

It turned out that she was counting.

"That's four hundred and seventy taels of gold in total, which isn't a lot ......."

Jin Peng said.

"Four hundred and ten taels of gold is not a lot, but would you give it to someone you don't know for no reason?"

Yuedi asked.

Jin Peng shook his head.

No matter how rich a person is, I am afraid that he will not do this.

If someone does this, it must have his own purpose.

"Do you know those two people?"

Jin Peng asked in a low voice.

"I only know one. ”

Yuedi said.

"Which one?"

Jin Peng asked.

"The Fortune Boy. ”

Yuedi said with a smile.

She thought the nickname was funny.

Especially the word 'boy'.

The retinue was not young, and it was a great mismatch for the two boys.

However, if his master is the God of Wealth, no matter how old he is, he can only be a boy who scatters wealth.

Jin Peng saw that Yuedi didn't have the heart to tell him who that person was, so he didn't ask.

At this moment, the attendant came down from the upper floor.

All eyes in the hall were immediately focused on him.

Especially the hard workers, their eyes are shining.

But this entourage didn't pay attention to anyone, just quietly walked to Liu Ruiying's side, leaned over, and said in his ear:

"The people upstairs want to see you. ”

Liu Ruiying was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know who that person was, why did he just name him and want to see him?

He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, and then set his eyes on the moon flute.

As if he was deliberately evasive, Yuedi lowered his head, picked up the wine jug, and poured a glass for himself, Jin Peng, and Hua Nong.

It wasn't until the wine jug landed on the table and made a crisp sound that Liu Ruiying stood up.

Seeing Liu Ruiying get up, this entourage walked upstairs by himself.

The hostess had already said the location of the room.

It is the penultimate room at the easternmost end of the second floor.

Liu Ruiying followed behind the entourage, and saw that although his steps were not fast, he was a big step ahead of himself.

This layer of steps, under his feet, is also as flat as walking on the ground.

After going up to the second floor, the retinue entered the room first.

There is no intention of waiting.

When Liu Ruiying approached, he saw that the door was not closed, but only a gap two fingers wide was left.

Walking here, Liu Ruiying was a little hesitant.

He hesitated whether he should just push the door and enter, or should he tap three times and wait for the news.

After thinking about it, Liu Ruiying still felt that it was more appropriate to knock on the door first.

But as soon as his hand was raised, the door creaked open.

On the side of the door stood the attendant.

He smiled at Liu Ruiying.

Then he made a gesture of please.

Liu Ruiying bowed his head slightly and strode into the room.

The attendant immediately closed the door.

The wind that opened and closed the door blew through Liu Ruiying's back, which actually made him feel a little cold.

From the large hall downstairs to this room, a few short steps made his back sweat a lot.

"Are you Liu Ruiying?"

A man's voice came from within.

Liu Ruiying glanced at the entourage hesitantly, but the other party motioned for him to continue walking in with his eyes.

Although this "good room" is divided into two rooms, inside and outside.

But it still seems a little cramped.

In addition to a bed, there is also a set of tables and chairs.

It's just that unlike the tables and chairs in other rooms, this is a square table.

Liu Ruiying saw a person sitting behind a table with a book in his hand.

It's just that he didn't read the book, but used the book in his hand as a fan, constantly fanning the wind.

It's not hot in the house.

The temperature is just right, and you don't need a fan to cool down.

But this person is fanning like this, and the fanning amplitude is very large.

It is said that this literati fanned his face, fanned his face, fanned his martial arts, and fanned his stomach.

But like this person, up and down, fanning the whole body, Liu Ruiying has never seen it.

"You know me?"

Liu Ruiying said.

After all, the other party had broken his name at a glance before.

"I've heard a little!"

This person said with a relaxed face, but the appearance of holding a book fan in his hand really made Liu Ruiying a little uncomfortable.

What's more, he didn't sit there upright.

Instead, he put both feet on the table.

There are also several books on the table.

It seems to be the writings of some sages.

But he didn't care, and just pressed his feet on these books.

This scene, if it was seen by those pedantic scholars in Bogulou, they would definitely be angry with a red face and a thick neck......

"Are you distressed about these books?"

The man asked, gesturing to his desk, at his feet.

"No, I'm not a reader. ”

Liu Ruiying said with a self-deprecating smile.

From this person's entourage, he can know that the person in front of him must be extraordinary, so Liu Ruiying will inevitably be careful when he speaks.

"That's great! Me wasn't either...... I saw that you kept staring at these two books at my feet, thinking that you were a reader, for fear of offending you!"

The man said truthfully.

It seems that he is really worried about this.

Liu Ruiying didn't know how to answer this, so she could only stand dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the other party was silent.

Bow your head and ponder.

The two sides were silent for about a cup of tea, and then the man raised his head suddenly.

"How long has your Investigation Division been here?"

The man asked.

"More than half a month. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

Originally, these things should not be talked about by outsiders at all.

But when there was a door, this person broke his identity as the provincial flag of the Central Capital Investigation Division.

If Liu Yaying continues to conceal it, it will seem that he is very small and childish, which is extremely ridiculous.

"But what did you find?"

The man then asked.

After speaking, he also motioned to the entourage to bring a chair and let Liu Ruiying sit down.

"What are you asking?"

Liu Ruiying asked rhetorically.

But there is a careful eye in the words.

The other party seems to know everything about himself, and he also wants to find out.

"Money. ”

Unexpectedly, this person was generous and said it straightforwardly.

Hearing the word "silver", Liu Ruiying relaxed instead.

After all, what I was most worried about had already happened, so there was no need to be nervous about anything.

"No progress. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Little brother, don't be so restrained, I'm just chatting with you casually. ”

This person sensed that Liu Ruiying was on guard and said so.

He also beckoned, and let his entourage bring two jugs of wine and two wine glasses.

"I heard you're a good drinker?"

The man then asked.

Liu Ruiying could only smile awkwardly in response.

"I don't drink. Tea is generally drunk. But when men talk to each other, it seems that they have to drink a little wine to let go, don't you say?"

The man said.

"If your Excellency has a nature, I will be a guest and do whatever I want!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"No, no, no, here you are the master and I am the guest. ”

This person waved his hand again and again and said.

Liu Ruiying frowned.

I don't know what this man is trying to say with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west.

"You came to this mine more than half a month before me. The first to arrive is the master, and the late to come is of course a guest!"

The man said.

At the same time, he poured a glass of wine for his wine glass, but did not pour it for Liu Ruiying.

Seeing this, Liu Ruiying could only fill himself with a glass.

The man saw that Liu Ruiying's cup also had wine in it, so he raised his glass, gestured to Liu Ruiying, and then took a shallow sip.

"You know this man. ”

After drinking, he pointed to his entourage and said.

"Zhenbei Wangfu is enshrined, Sun Deyu. I was fortunate enough to have a relationship that day. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

The man nodded.

His entourage was the day Liu Ruiying met the Moon Flute, and the palace he met was dedicated to Sun Deyu.

At that time, as soon as he walked into the hall, Liu Ruiying and Yuedi recognized him.

But seeing that Sun Deyu deliberately concealed his identity, Liu Ruiying and Yuedi also pretended not to know.

Now, this person has taken the initiative to reveal his identity.

Liu Ruiying was afraid for a while......

Sun Deyu, as the worship of the Zhenbei Palace, should have stayed in the palace.

Now that he is respectfully serving this person as an entourage, isn't this person's identity also about to come out?

"It's good to know each other, and acquaintances can speak more freely. ”

The man said.

"I wonder what your excellency has to tell me when you come to me?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Now that he had guessed the identity of the other party, he was even more careful when he spoke.

"How dare I order the provincial flag of the Central Capital Investigation Division? I just want to chat with you. ”

The man said teasingly.

This kind of style is very different from what Liu Ruiying conceived in his mind......

Although he didn't know what he should be like with this person, at least not like this.

"Your Excellency, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and toasted the man.

This man didn't have a stand, and he also took a wine glass in return.

It's just that Liu Ruiying raised his neck and drank it all, but he still took a shallow sip.

"I want to know how much you know about the robbery of the North Earthquake King's Domain. ”

The man said.

"After all, as far as I know, you're the first to find out, and you've fought the robbers. ”

The man lifted his glass again and drank it all.

"The person at the head is called Jing Yao, and he is a member of the Prairie Royal Court. is still a minister, three ministers. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

The man nodded.

Liu Ruiying saw that his expression did not change at all, and he had always known about these situations.

Fang just asked, just to confirm with Liu Ruiying.

"Did you win or lose when you fought each other?"

This person changed his words, but he asked about something that had nothing to do with the robbery of the money.

"By what standard do you judge winning or losing, if it is life or death, I will win, and he will win. If it was about the exercises, then he and I would both lose. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Winning or losing has always been a matter of life and death. ”

The man nodded and said.

I am extremely satisfied with Liu Ruiying's answer.

"Do you know why they robbed this batch of money?"

The man asked.

"Actually, I feel that Jing Yao, the minister of the Prairie Court, has also been manipulated by others, just a chess piece. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

The man asked.

But he put down his feet that had been on the table, leaned forward, and was very interested.

"There was a man beside him named Gao Ren, who was once a fellow brother of my friend. That friend of mine is Xiao Jinkan, one of the five supreme onmyoji in the world. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"You and Master Xiao turned out to be friends, I really didn't expect it...... I heard that he has been living in Bogu Building in recent years, and I have invited him to be a guest three times or twice, but he has been politely refused. ”

The man said.

"This Gao Ren did not know what he was up to, but he told me very clearly that the silver was to be used to buy arrows. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"The most lacking war weapon in the Prairie Royal Court is arrows, such a large number of arrows are purchased, does his Prairie Royal Court want to start a war with my Zhenbei Royal Domain?"

Sun Deyu said.

The tone was very solemn.

"If he really wants to buy arrows, why would he tell you?"

The man asked.

"I don't know, but Gao Ren has a rather strange way of doing things. No one else could guess what he was thinking. On the contrary, he was accurately calculated step by step, and fell into the trap without paying attention. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Since he is the senior brother of Master Xiaocai, he must have such skills...... However, with his identity, it is more than enough to be a royal palace like Sun Deyu, why do you want to help the abuse and do this thing of roosters and dogs......"

The man said.

I took another sip of the glass, but forgot that the wine in the glass was dry.

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Later, I ......"

"Later, you went to Yangwen Town with Yuedi. After reporting the matter to the headquarters of the Investigation Division in Yangwen Town, you brought your men to this mine. ”

The man grabbed the conversation and said.

"Yes, exactly. ”

Liu Ruiying nodded.

"Thank you!"

This person stood up and arched his hand at Liu Ruiying and said.

Liu Ruiying hurriedly got up and returned the salute, knowing in her heart that this was the meaning of sending off guests.

After a few more pleasantries, he walked out of the room.

"What is your decision, my lord?"

The sound of Liu Ruiying going downstairs came, and Sun Deyu asked.

"There is no difference between what the Investigation Department has and what we have. It's just that I really didn't expect this Jing Yao to be followed by a Gao Ren!"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, frowned.

The book used to fan the wind was thrown out of the window by him.

"If this Gao Ren is really Master Xiao's senior brother, it is indeed a tricky matter......

Sun Deyu said.

"Do you think they're going to have anything to do with each other now?"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, looked at Sun Deyu and asked.

"This ...... I can't say it either!"

Sun Deyu said.

"It must have nothing to do with it! And even if there is, Master Xiao will definitely stand by and watch! After all, this Supreme Onmyoji has a standard, and no one will easily break it. If he really interfered in this matter, then Master Xiao's fate would be very miserable...... On the other hand, we are nothing more than losing millions of dollars of silver. If you don't starve to death if you eat one less meal from top to bottom, the money will come out again in less than a month. ”

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, said.

"In that case, why did the prince come to this mine with a big fly?"

Sun Deyu asked.

"Alas...... Aren't you trusted?"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, rubbed his temples and said with a sigh.

It seems that he came to this mine, and he had no choice but to do it.

Sun Deyu's heart suddenly thundered.

When he left the palace at that time, the prince did not say the reason for going here.

Sun Deyu didn't ask much.

But he was also very curious, how could the prince, who had always been obsessed with everything, be so concerned about this salary?

thinks that he was assassinated several times in his palace, but he still went his own way and didn't care about it at all.

Is there anything else that is really more important than your own safety?

"What do you think of this Liu Ruiying?"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, asked.

"It's the best of the rising stars. Whether it is martial arts cultivation or character and courage. ”

Sun Deyu thought for a while and said.

"If that's all it takes...... There's no reason for that guy to care so much......"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, muttered to himself.

The guy in his mouth is none other than Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong.

This time, he was able to come to this mine so attentively because he was entrusted by Liu Jinghao.

Otherwise, how could Shangguan Yao Xu, the world's No. 1 idle prince, come to this mine without any difficulty?

How comfortable is his spacious palace, and he can listen to a play in the backyard from time to time.

No matter how bad it is, he can also go fishing in Red Goose Pond.

But it was not the turn of the mine to come.

On the same day, Liu Jinghao sent a letter, saying that there was a person in the Investigation Department of the Central Capital who was extremely optimistic about him, and he came to the mine because of the silver matter, and asked Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, to take care of it.

After Shangguan Xuyao received this message, he thought about it and didn't know what to do.

Take care of it, it sounds simple.

But how can it be regarded as care, and how can it be considered a lot?

It really made Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, very nervous......

Compared with physical exertion, what he is more reluctant to do is to use his brain.

As soon as his mind turned, he just wanted to sleep.

Before coming to this mine in person, Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, also thought about sending an enshriner to bring Liu Ruiying back to his palace.

Wait for this matter to pass, and then send someone to send him back to the middle capital.

This can be regarded as the completion of Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong.

However, a small provincial flag of the Investigation Division actually made Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong, value it so much, and he couldn't help but make Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, very puzzled.

This kind of doubt continues to ferment, but it has become a full motivation.

Let him have to come and see what kind of character this Liu Ruiying is before he can stop!

"But it's not like it......"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, muttered to himself again.

"What does the prince say not like?"

Sun Deyu asked.

"Have you ever seen Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong?"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, asked.

"Seen it a few times. ”

Sun Deyu said.

"Then what do you think is similar to this Liu Ruiying's appearance and Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong?"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, asked.

"This ...... They're about the same size!"

Sun Deyu said after thinking for a while.

"Nonsense! You and I are about the same size, do you and I look alike? There are more people in the world, is it possible that if we grow as tall and look similar? Where is there such a reason......" Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, said.

"If the prince only asks about his appearance, it is not like it at all...... At least I don't think so!"

Sun Deyu smiled awkwardly and said.

"That's what I thought too......"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, fell into deep thought again.

"Could it be that the person who asked the prince to come to the mine is His Excellency the King of Qingzhong?"

Sun Deyu exclaimed.

He's not stupid.

It's just that some of them are too knowledgeable and not bright enough.

"Shh......h Be quiet!"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, made a silent gesture to him and said.

"I thought this Liu Ruiying was his...... Hehe, you know, both of them are surnamed Liu!"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, said.

"The prince is the illegitimate son of His Excellency King Qingzhong?"

Sun Deyu said.

"You're just boring! It's good to understand it, but you have to say it...... It's boring, it's boring!"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, said.

After saying that, he got up and stood at the window, looking into the distance.

"What the prince said is not authentic...... Earlier, I said that they look alike, and you mocked me for saying that there is a reason why the height is the same. This Liu Ruiying and His Excellency Qingzhong Wang just have the same surname, why did you have that kind of thought, Lord Wang?"

Sun Deyu said with a smile.

"Hmph...... Drink the wine from the table and put it in the smoked ......."

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, turned his back to Sun Deyu and snorted coldly.

He also knew that he was wrong, so he didn't say much.

Otherwise, you have to have a good theory with Sun Deyu.

Speaking of which, it's also that his life is a bit dull and boring......

can meet such a great opportunity, why not arrange and arrange Liu Jinghao, the king of the king?

But now that he has arrived in this mine, he can't return in vain.

When he left the royal city, he had already received a summons that the men and horses of Na Hongzhou were also rushing here day and night.

There are many people.

This is true anytime and anywhere.

"How much do you know about Hongzhou?"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, asked.

"It's not easy to listen to the white language in that state...... In addition, the Qing Mansion in Hongzhou is famous among the martial cultivators in my Zhenbei Royal Domain!"

Sun Deyu said.

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, knew all these things, but he was too lazy to read them from his memory, and he just wanted others to tell him so well.

"It's not a good thing for Wen Tingbai and Qingfu to get too close!"

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, said.

Sun Deyu suddenly laughed after hearing this.

Not only did he not answer, but quietly retreated from the back room.

This prince, finally calmed down and thought about business, how could he bother?

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, has been to Hongzhou twice.

The land of Hongzhou, whether it is strategic significance or product reserves, is the top priority of the Zhenbei Domain.

In particular, the prosperity of martial arts also made him rely on it.

But if this Hongzhou Prefecture Tongwen listens to the fact that it has a close personal relationship with the Qingfu, it will make this Hongzhou a monolith.

When the time comes, the water will not be able to splash in, and the needle will not be able to poke in, which will make Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, have even more headaches......

In the past, there was a Li family in Hongzhou, which could check and balance each other with Qingfu, but later the Li family disappeared overnight in addition to the accident, and Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, also knew about it.

But he didn't care at the time.

It's just an ordinary grievance.

For the sake of the Li family, which is also a big family, he ordered the Hongzhou Prefecture to investigate thoroughly, but in the end, he got some ambiguous answers, and even pushed this matter to the supernatural power between the lines, as if there was a force at work in the underworld.

At that time, Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, saw such a reply, and he just laughed it off and did not delve into it.

After all, a small Li family can't make a prince worry about it in his heart.

But now it seems that he was a little sloppy......

Checks and balances are always the most important thing for those in power.

The Li family and the Qing Mansion can check and balance each other, and the Hongzhou Prefecture Unified Mansion and both sides cannot be mysterious Guo Cong.

The current situation is that the Qingfu has reached some kind of agreement with the Hongzhou Prefecture and formed a close alliance.

It is much easier to strangle the unformed source, but it is even more difficult to kill the unformed source.

Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, deliberately concealed his identity, and also wanted to secretly see what the Hongzhou Prefecture would do in the mine.

This can also add some reference and reliance for his future plans.

When Liu Ruiying walked downstairs to the hall, the laborers were still noisy.

The proprietress sat next to Jing Yao at some point, and was constantly teasing and drinking with him.

Yuedi didn't feel embarrassed on the side, but asked Hua Nong a lot of things about his past living in the mountains.

Speaking of these, there was always a flame jumping in Hua Nong's eyes.

Just as Liu Ruiying saw the sea in Xu Laosi's eyes at that time, Huanong's eyes also have incomparably vast mountains.

Sometimes lush, sometimes snowy.

Whether it's a bouncing hare or a sturdy black bear.

In Hua Nong's narrative, they all appear vividly in front of you.

Liu Ruiying didn't disturb any of them, just sat down calmly.

"See that guy?"

Yuedi asked.

But it is to use the energy to transmit the sound.

The hall is now crowded with people.

The robbery of the silver is at an extremely critical juncture, and if it is intentionally stopped and spread everywhere, who knows what the consequences will be......

"See. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"What did you say?"

Yuedi asked.

"He asked me about the ins and outs of the money, and I told him all the time. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"He ......"

"That's right, it's him. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

Yuedi nodded, the meaning of this 'he' needless to say is clear, they both know it.

Liu Ruiying saw that Xu Laosi was still sitting in the corner, drinking by himself.

"Can you take me to the mines?"

He walked over and said.

Xu Laosi raised his head and glanced at Liu Ruiying obliquely.

"Why did you go to the mines?"

"Curious, want to check it out. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

It occurred to him that he had been here for so long, but he had not yet gone to see what the real mine was like.

"Today is not a good time. ”

Xu Laosi said.

"Why?"

Liu Ruiying asked puzzled.

It's just a mine, and even if no one is working, it just exists quietly.

How can you tell if it's a good time?

"Today is a monthly reckoning. This month's mined ore has been weighed and pulled away. ”

Xu Laosi said.

"That's the day you get paid?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"It's not...... The wages have to wait for the goods to be shipped. It will take at least five, six, seven or eight days to settle the settlement. ”

Xu Laosi said.

Liu Ruiying smiled, the moisture in Xu Laosi's words was too much.

5678, spanning four days.

In fact, what Xu Laosi said was true.

The shipment of this silver mine is sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

When it's scarce, those people can't wait to lie next to the mine, just take it and leave.

The market is not good, and it is possible to squeeze it for more than half a month.

"Where?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"This mine belongs to Master Jin. Naturally, someone from his house came back to him. ”

Xu Laosi said.

Liu Ruiying nodded.

He had been to Jin Ye's mansion and had seen those smelting furnaces.

Now there is no war, and the need for iron ore is not so urgent.

Most of them were still beaten into daily necessities for the daily needs of the boss.

After all, ordinary people can't afford porcelain.

Although porcelain is beautiful, the cost of burning paper is much higher than that of ironware.

What's more, it is fragile and easy to wear.

An iron plate can last at least ten years, but if it is porcelain, it may be shattered in the next moment.

"Anything else?"

Xu Laosi asked.

"Why did you steal one of the lady's silver ingots? ”

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I want money!"

Xu Laosi said.

The people who say it calmly.

"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. ”

Liu Ruiying preached to Xu Laosi again.

After all, a sword cultivator with the entire sea in his eyes, in Liu Ruiying's eyes, should not steal silver no matter what.

"Do you think I look like a gentleman? I'm not even a villain. At least a villain is still a human, but I can't be an adult for a long time. ”

Xu Laosi smiled and said.

When you say this, it's either a joke or a self-deprecation.

But Xu Laosi stated it so calmly, without any emotion.

It doesn't seem to be his own, it's someone else's story.

"But you went back today. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

He still spared no effort and wanted to help Xu Laosi find a way back.

"Because I have this!"

Xu Laosi spread out his left hand, and a burst of golden light appeared in his palm.

It is a gold ingot issued by the "God of Wealth" today.

"For those who want money, isn't more money better? Where is there a reason to pay it back......

Liu Ruiying said.

Xu Laosi did not answer again.

He silently drank the last sip of wine in the bowl and ate the last bite of dried tofu.

Then he stood up, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, nodded slightly at Liu Ruiying, and walked out of the door.

These laborers are gathered in groups of three or five.

He was the only one who always came and went.

It has been the same since the first day Liu Ruiying came here, and it has not changed.

I don't know if he had any friends in the past, but here, he didn't even have anyone who could talk and joke.

How sad should a person who has no friends feel in his heart?

Even if he doesn't say it, Liu Ruiying can feel it.

Friends are always warm.

If you don't have friends, you can't even share your happiness if you don't talk about how to deal with it.

A gust of wind came out through the door, causing Liu Ruiying to close his eyes.

After the wind passed, Liu Ruiying found that there was some grit in his mouth.

He took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth and prepared to spit it out.

Unexpectedly, when rinsing my mouth, when the grit came into contact with the water, it was a little sweet.

Liu Ruiying doesn't like sweets, but at first glance there is such a taste in his mouth, but he hooks him again

Find something sweet to eat.

"Lady, what sweets do you have here?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Sweets? haha...... What sweet tooth would you like to eat?"

The proprietress put down her glass and said.

"Anything that tastes sweet is good!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"I used to make some sugar cakes from time to time when I was in a good mood. In the end, I was the only one who ate it, but I couldn't sell it, so I didn't do it. If you want to eat sweet, I have coarse grains of granulated sugar here. But it's a bad taste...... You might even be able to lather your mouth. ”

The proprietress said.

"Is there one?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

The proprietress was stunned, walked to the shelf behind the hall and took a bag and threw it to Liu Ruiying.

The coarse grain of sugar was packed in a burlap bag.

The earthy yellow linen cloth is extremely rough to the touch, not to mention how good the sugar inside is.

But Liu Ruiying wants to eat some sweets now.

Obsession comes together, no matter what, I can't suppress this thought.

The seal of the burlap bag is sewn densely with white thread.

Liu Ruiying groped for a long time before finding the location of the thread.

Pulling the thread with his fingernails and pulling hard, the burlap bag opened up.

It's true that it's sugar, but it's a little yellowing......

Liu Ruiying pinched out a handful, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, but there was a pungent earthy smell.

I don't know how much time has passed since this burlap bag was placed on the shelf, and the wind, sand and dust gradually eroded the burlap bag and penetrated into the sugar inside.

Over time, the sweet sugar was stained with earthiness.

If the two most different tastes are mixed together, they are really unique in the world.

If you eat it directly in your mouth, you will be nauseated......

"If only there were fried chestnuts with sugar!"

Liu Ruiying muttered to herself.

After saying this, he himself was shocked!

"I don't know where they left Bogulou and where they went......"

Liu Ruiying thought in her heart.

It is also a kind of happiness for a person to have thoughts and concerns.

After all, there is no need for anyone to worry about the emotions that have been separated for a long time.

But it is necessary to keep the thoughts and worries around you in mind often.
