Chapter 775: Wealth
Since returning from the North Garden, Xiao Fengchai has not received any guests, and that night, Liuren Lane is the most lively time, but she asked the maids and daughters-in-law to rest early.
Meng Mingshu paced back and forth anxiously in the living room, looking up at his woman from time to time, and asked in a frightened tone, "How is this possible?"
Xiao Fengchai's face sank like water, and when things came to this point, even she felt troubled, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, in fact, there were signs before, but I didn't particularly care, as soon as the Dragon King sent someone to say it, I understood a little, and when I went to visit today, I rubbed something off his forehead. ”
Meng Mingshu stretched out his right hand, and a layer of white paint was stained on his index and middle fingers, which he had already shown, but it had not been wiped off, and the color had become lighter.
"My father would never wipe these things. ”
"The question is...... Who's behind it?"
"Jinpeng Castle, it must be Jinpeng Castle, what the Dragon King said is right, Dubu King wants to embezzle all the property of the Meng family, but I am afraid that my two younger brothers will be more auspicious, and even I ......" Thinking that his most trusted bodyguard was the person from Jinpeng Castle, Meng Meng shuddered.
Xiao Fengchai was much calmer than him, "You forgot, it's not just the Jinpeng Castle family who are good at disguise, Xiaoyuetang and the Dragon King are all masters of this way. ”
Meng Mingshu, who originally thought that the matter was very clear, was vague again, "That's right, but this is Biyu City, the place where Jinpeng Fort calls for wind and rain." ”
"Hey, don't you think that since the Xiaoyaohai fiasco, Jinpeng Fort has converged a lot? Now tens of thousands of Beiting troops are stationed in Tongtian Pass, and it is still uncertain whether they are enemies or friends, but Biyu City has opened its door, and it is probably not just the Dubu King who has the ability to call for wind and rain. ”
"Then what should I do? One wrong step will make the Meng family collapse. ”
"Act on the opportunia. ”
Xiao Fengchai's composure made Meng Mingshu also calm down, he stopped pacing back and forth, and looked at her affectionately, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do, if the main messenger is Jinpeng Castle, the first thing I will do is to divorce my mother-in-law at home, marry you, and let you be an upright Mrs. Meng." ”
Xiao Fengchai smiled slightly, "If this word spreads, people will think that all the conspiracies were planned by the two of us." ”
Meng Mingshu got excited, sat on the chair, pondered for a while, and said to Xiao Fengchai, "Have you found out? Now I am the head of the Meng family." ”
Xiao Fengchai nodded, with an appropriate look of encouragement on her face, and then said softly like persuading a child: "Just think about it, don't say it, just with this sentence, you may get into big trouble." ”
Meng Mingshu suppressed the excitement in his heart, "How will you deal with the Dragon King later?"
"I'll talk to him, you try not to talk, in case things change later, you can put the blame on me, so that there is a buffer, and it is more important than anything else to protect you. ”
Meng Mingshu felt that this was really a good idea, and he didn't feel despised at all, but was so grateful that he even forgot about his jealousy of the Dragon King for a while.
Await...... There are almost no husbands in the south city, Liuren Lane is an exception, some guests have to pinch the time, and go back before the north city closes, the second watch gong sounds, and after a while, a man walks out of Xiao Fengchai's bedroom.
Seeing the Dragon King who called himself "Gu Shenwei", Meng Mingshu's brows furrowed, "Mrs. Xiao's bedroom is one of the most difficult rooms in Biyu City to enter, Your Excellency is very familiar with it, it seems that the windows here need to be carefully checked." ”
Meng Mingshu and Xiao Fengchai have already discussed and will not expose the true face of the Dragon King for the time being.
"Well, it's going to have to be checked. ”
Meng Mingshu remembered Xiao Fengchai's instructions, glanced at her, and stopped talking.
Xiao Fengchai put on a layer of light makeup, noble and elegant, supported the table with one hand, rested on his lap with the other, and said in a businesslike tone: "Messenger, please take a seat." ”
Gu Shenwei sat on the chair opposite the two of them, knowing who the negotiation opponent was tonight.
"The dragon king's habit is to speak straight and never waste time beating around the bush, is the same with the messenger?"
"Time is of the essence, so it's best to have something to say. ”
"May I ask first?"
"Of course. ”
"How did Your Excellency know that Meng Yuzun was transferred? I remember that when we first met, you didn't seem to have such a statement. ”
"Because I also just found out, I happen to know that Meng Yuzun has practiced martial arts, and he is not weak, but this one in Bodhi Garden has heavy steps, not like a person who practices martial arts. ”
Xiao Fengchai glanced at Meng Mingshu, she had never heard that the rich man Meng Yuzun would endure hardships and practice, Meng Mingshu nodded slightly, indicating that this was indeed the case, in fact, he only learned about it after the death of his eldest brother, and he was also taken aback at that time.
"Is the real Meng Yuzun alive or dead, does Your Excellency have any news?"
"It's hard to say, as far as I know, there is an underground palace in Bodhi Garden, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Meng Yuzun was locked up below. ”
This is another thing that Xiao Fengchai has never heard of, and after receiving confirmation from Meng Mingshu, she said: "It seems that Jinpeng Fort is really going to attack the Meng family." ”
This is not a question, Gu Shenwei did not answer.
"It's easy to borrow money, but it's hard to repay it, what guarantee does the Dragon King have? Is it just a promise?" Xiao Fengchai continued to ask.
"It's not just a promise, but also the power to operate together, if the second son of Meng is willing, he can serve under the Dragon King and manage the financial power, not only the gold and silver of the Meng family, but the wealth of the entire Dragon King. ”
Meng Mingshu felt that he had to speak, "Then I'm not openly making enemies of Jinpeng Castle?"
"You can also designate the people you trust the most to do it. ”
"It's a viable option. Xiao Fengchai regained the right to speak, "But no matter what, the safety of the second brother is the most important thing, do you have a plan?"
Meng Mingshu stopped talking, which was one of the issues he was most concerned about.
"If Second Prince Meng is willing to join the Dragon Army, he will naturally be protected in the strictest way, if he wants to stay in Biyu City, I will let the matter of 'borrowing money' have nothing to do with him, and Jinpeng Castle will protect him when the time comes. ”
"The money is gone, will Jinpeng Castle still protect me?" Meng Mingshu couldn't figure out the reason.
"Yes. Gu Shenwei said with certainty, "What Jinpeng Fort wants is money, without money, there is no need to kill the people of the Meng family, in addition, only if you are alive, Jinpeng Fort can justifiably snatch back the wealth of the Meng family." ”
Meng Mingshu pondered for a while, the Dragon King was good at bewitchment, his words sounded very reasonable, but they might not really be realized, "I want to stay in Biyu City and let ...... Feng Chai manages the Meng family's money. ”
Jinpeng Castle still looked solid, and Meng Mingshu didn't want to throw himself on the other side too early, so he had to prepare for both.
"I'm a woman. Xiao Fengchai reminded flatly.
"Isn't there a lot of female officers under the Dragon King? There is also an army of female soldiers, and if others do it, you will do it too. ”
"We'll talk about that later. Xiao Fengchai was not particularly interested, "I am living comfortably in Biyu City, what are I going to the barracks to mess with a group of stinky men?" Let's get down to business, how does the envoy plan to 'borrow money' so that Jinpeng Castle doesn't suspect the second brother?"
Meng Mingshu had forgotten Xiao Fengchai's reminder, and said first: "Actually, I have experience before, I will hand over the specific situation of the merchants in various places, and the Dragon King will send people to rob it, but it is difficult to do it in Biyu City, but the big head is here." ”
Gu Shenwei had already thought of an idea, "Robbery is a way, and there is another trick, fake Meng Yuzun has been violent in the past six months, and he has caused a lot of grievances......"
Meng Mingshu said hatefully: "Jinpeng Fort is preparing for the anti-guest, if it goes on like this, the Meng family will all die and no one will sympathize." ”
"So if there are one or two betrayers at this time, it shouldn't be a surprise. ”
Meng Mingshu suddenly realized.
The negotiation continued, but there was no particularly important topic, half an hour passed, Gu Shen got up and was about to leave, Xiao Fengchai said softly: "Second brother, you can go back too, if you really want me to take care of the money for you, you have to distance yourself from me from now on, so as to eliminate the suspicion of Jinpeng Castle." ”
Meng Mingshu was reluctant, "You don't have to start so early, right?"
Xiao Fengchai glanced at the "Dragon King's Messenger" who had not yet left, "Time is not much, if we knew this, we should have kept arguing." ”
Gu Shenwei went first and went outside to meet Nie Zeng.
After a while, Meng Mingshu pushed open the door and walked to the street, with an angry face, and strode towards the house of another notekeeper, and the entourage guarding the door understood that the pair of enemies who had just reconciled quarreled again.
Gu Shenwei waited for a long time, until the hustle and bustle of Liuren Lane gradually dissipated, and he returned to Xiao Fengchai's house.
Xiao Fengchai sat in the bedroom, propped up his hand, stared blankly at the beating wick, indifferent to the man who sneaked in again, and said as if talking to himself: "Things are always unsatisfactory, it would be nice if the Dragon King was a few years older, or I would be younger." ”
Gu Shenwei knew that he was recognized, and he didn't deny it, "Why?"
"Then you won't think I'm too old, and I'm qualified to compete with a little girl like Shigongzi. Xiao Fengchai turned his head to look at him, smiling rather than smiling.
"I prefer Xiao Fengchai when I was in the Dragon Court. ”
At that time, Xiao Fengchai was awe-inspiring, but now she is completely different, "Hehe, Longting is too unfamiliar, I can't show my ability, but this is my home......"
"You are the most seductive woman I have ever met. ”
"The Dragon King has won the prize. ”
"But you're just human. ”
"It's still not comparable to 'the world'. ”
Gu Shenwei nodded.
"I understand, it's just a pity, I've read countless people, but I haven't touched a hero, the dragon king is a real hero. ”
Gu Shenwei had to admit that when this woman wanted to please someone, it was always easy, "You have a Meng Mingshu, I think it's enough." ”
"He?" Xiao Fengchai showed a slight hint of disdain, "The Dragon King thinks that the 'world' is more important than women, my heart is not so broad-minded, as a girl, I think money is more important than men." ”
"How much do you want to share?" asked Gu Shenwei.
"The old rules, two percent. Xiao Fengchai put away the seductive look on his face, "I helped the Dragon King get all the wealth of the Meng family, and only took 20% of the fee." ”
"The deal between the 'hero' and the girl. Gu Shenwei sneered slightly.
"The 'hero' won't disagree, right?" said Xiao Fengchai with a smile.
Gu Shenwei never regarded himself as a hero, he was an unscrupulous avenger.
Leaving the small building again, Gu Shenwei and Nie Zeng quickly returned to Lu Qiying's mansion, three days had passed, and the people he sent out were waiting for the first report of the harvest.
