Invincible son

Chapter 255 254 [Chen Xizhi]

For some reason, Pei Yue's deeds of showing off at the Hibiscus Banquet were not publicized.

Except for Qin Xu, the imperial envoy, all those who were qualified to attend the banquet last night were given hints, so the two poems that Pei Yue presented and his feat of being selected by Nine Huakui at the same time were only circulated in a small area.

The person with such a strong means is naturally the governor Xue Tao. Perhaps after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to eliminate Pei Yue's influence as much as possible instead of betting on an illusory common enemy.At least until the civil unrest in Dongqing is quelled and the ownership of the Lingzhou coal mine is resolved, the two imperial envoys must rely on him as the governor of Lingzhou.

But no matter how tyrannical Xue Tao was, after Pei Yue brought Lin Shuyue out of Qiujiang Tower, the whole Xingyang City quickly spread the anecdote about this affair.

Since the Hibiscus Banquet last year, many gambling houses in the city have offered odds, betting on who can be Lin Shuyue's first guest to enter the curtain, attracting many low-grade gamblers.After the imperial guard of honor arrived in Xingyang, within a few days, many people bet on Qin Xu, a romantic envoy, but no one paid any attention to Pei Yue, who lived reclusively, so that Pei Yue's odds were as high as [-] to [-].

Yesterday afternoon, several major gambling houses received large sums of bets, all of which were bought on Pei Yue, with a total of 10 taels. After the hibiscus feast, these gambling houses had to pay a staggering 200 million taels!Except for one of the gambling houses with a deep foundation, who took out the money to settle the accounts, the others couldn't afford the loss at all, so these gambling houses changed their owners in the blink of an eye.

In the manor in the east of the city, Chen Xizhi looked at the several contracts on the table and said with a faint smile: "Although I hate Pei Yue very much, for the sake of the money he helped me earn, I can let him die in the future." Have fun."

A kind-hearted middle-aged man stood in front of the table, and sighed after hearing the words: "Miss, this game has been set up since two years ago. Those gambling houses opened this handicap under our inducement. In fact, they don't know that everyone Lin Go up. As long as the timing is right and the lady tightens the thread, they can only give up the property."

Chen Xizhi said indifferently, "Anyway, if you're idle here, you're just idle, and you can just make some money. You can slowly sell these gambling houses, and the money will be transferred to the head office of the Taiping Bank in Kyoto through the previous channels."

The middle-aged man said seriously: "This subordinate understands."

As early as December of the third year of Kaiping, Chen Xizhi met with the successor of the Western Wu Dongshan Wang's Ba Dao in this manor. From then on, she began to pave the way for Lin Shuyue to become an oiran. The young lady buried such a button without making a fuss, and took several big gambling houses in Xingyang City into her pocket in a calm manner.He thought of the rapid development of the Chen family's industry in the west in the past two years, and he couldn't help feeling a little awe in his heart, because the young woman in front of him still had many such seemingly idle tricks, which might bring unexpected gains at any time.

"Miss, everyone Lin has been brought back to the imperial envoy's office by Pei Yue."

"Look again."

The middle-aged man looked puzzled.

Chen Xizhi frowned slightly and said: "Lin Shuyue is not the kind of stubborn woman, not to mention that I can't say that I am so kind to her, I just helped her. The most important thing is not to underestimate Pei Yue, if you think He is young and does not have a city mansion, so he will definitely plot against you repeatedly. In fact, I just wanted to put another eyeliner beside him, after all, this brat is extremely cunning, and he manages himself like an iron bucket."

The middle-aged man hesitated and said: "My subordinates remember that Miss once hinted that a line was established with Pei Yue last year."

Chen Xizhi picked up the white porcelain cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "That man is one of his personal soldiers, but he can't be used by me. At that time, it was only through him that I found out Fang Rui's whereabouts. The land of bones. You don't quite understand what Pei Yue means to those soldiers with mud legs. If you are too eager, it will be counterproductive. This chess piece takes a long time to cultivate, but once it succeeds, Pei Yue will inevitably bear a huge burden. In fact, if the Fang family hadn't come forward in person, I wouldn't take the risk to use this hard-won pawn."

When Fang Rui was mentioned, a glint of haze flashed in her eyes, and then turned into an ancient well.

As for the Fang family son in the back, it refers to Fang Yuntian, the son of Fang Xie Xiao, the leader of the Southern Zhou camp and the Duke of Zhenguo.

Before the new year came in the third year of Kaiping, the news of Fang Rui's death spread back to Southern Zhou. Fang Yuntian decided to bring back the bones of the Pingjiang Fang family disciples who were sent to Beiliang.He personally found Chen Xizhi and asked her to find out where Fang Rui's bones were buried, and then in September of the fourth year of Kaiping, he finally took advantage of Pei Yue's unpreparedness to bring those people's bones back to Nan Zhou.

The middle-aged man naturally knew these secrets. He shook his head and sighed: "The Fang family contributed a lot to the matter of Hengduan Mountain. After all, Miss owes them a favor. It's better to pay them back as soon as possible. It's just a pity that a boy from the Pei family suddenly appeared Disturb the lady's plan, otherwise Wang Pingzhang will face a dead end, and maybe he will reveal what happened back then."

There was a hint of hatred on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "If someone who does not have enough weight to stand up, Liu Zheng can continue to be his good emperor, daydreaming about unifying the world."

Chen Xizhi looked at his slightly ferocious face, and sighed softly: "Uncle Nong, don't call yourself a subordinate in the future."

The middle-aged man shook his head resolutely and said, "Miss, etiquette cannot be broken."

"After Uncle Yu left, there aren't many old people around me anymore."

Chen Xizhi's eyes were melancholy, and his tone was very sad.

The middle-aged man was stunned. He thought of the man who held an iron rod like an iron tower, but in the end he had to commit suicide in Hengduan Mountain because of Pei Yue. Anger and sadness were mixed in his heart, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

Chen Xizhi turned his head and looked at the summer scenery outside the window, clasped his fingers tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his tone was slightly erratic: "Master told me back then, you should not be too paranoid in life, and sometimes you need to learn to let go. But like you, Uncle Nong, like you Uncle Yu, like the uncle who is still struggling in that purgatory in Kyoto, you have given so much, how can I give up? How dare I give up?"

She withdrew her gaze, with no sadness in her eyes, and asked expressionlessly: "Master said he didn't recognize me as a disciple, and Ye Qi said that she didn't have a senior sister. Aunt Leng felt that I killed too many innocent people. Could it be true?" Did i do something wrong?"

The middle-aged man said word for word: "No one can do better than Miss."

"maybe."

Chen Xizhi put away that emotion very quickly, and picked up a piece of paper from the table, on which were written commonly used characters combined that no one could understand. She personally stuffed the letter into a simple envelope, and handed it to the middle-aged In the man's hand, he said softly: "Send it to the capital, and it must be handed over to Tianzi No. [-] himself."

"Yes."

"Notify the person in Qingyu Mountain that he must be careful recently. If Pei Yue sees through Lin Shuyue's origin and intentions, he will definitely stay in the imperial envoy's office and pretend to play every night to paralyze me. But if he doesn't see through, then He will definitely not stay in the yamen, and if he wants to bypass Xue Tao's restrictions and promote briquettes in Lingzhou, he will definitely take those horse bandits first."

"Miss, although Pei Yue has five hundred soldiers from the southern battalion around him, it seems like he can't touch those horse bandits."

"I've paid close attention to him for the past two years. You don't understand this kid's character. He never puts all his strength on the surface. There must be a fist hidden under the surface. Don't forget, his connections in the military Very wide."

"My subordinates remember it."

"There should also be chaos in Linqing. We can't let the money we spent before go to waste."

"Yes."

"That's all for now. Tomorrow, I'm going to the west. In Xingyang City, all our people will be submerged under the water surface. No one will move rashly without my order."

"Yes."

The middle-aged man left the study with the weird secret letter. Chen Xizhi picked up the teacup and blew on it lightly. The clear tea revealed her cold and sharp face.

"Ah."

She chuckled in a complicated tone.
