Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 154
After hearing what Cui Shuang said, Yuan Youchun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Commander Cui, why did you help that kid speak up?"

Although what Cui Shuang said is true, can the emperor commit the same crime as the people when he commits a crime?

Although He Jinwu is not the emperor, he is his adopted son. What is his relationship with Qu Shuai?
Therefore, with this relationship, could He Jinwu die just like that?

Cui Shuang frowned: "I'm not speaking for Chen Mo. I'm standing on the side of justice. From a fair point of view, there is nothing wrong with what Chen Mo did. On the contrary, it's you, General Yuan, who turned this matter upside down." , trying to deceive Qu Shuai."

Hearing this, Yuan Youchun's face darkened. As Qu Shuai's adopted son, he didn't have to look at Cui Shuang's face, and his rank was higher than Cui Shuang's, so he directly asked: "Is that boy Chen Mo following him?" What did Commander Cui say? Did Commander Cui get deceived?"

"Then what General Yuan said, do you think this commander is targeting you?" Cui Shuang glared at Yuan Youchun. If he hadn't talked to him like this because he was his handsome adopted son, Cui Shuang would have left long ago. People.

"I dare not, but Jin Wu's death cannot be forgotten like this?" Yuan Youchun said.

"General Yuan is questioning Commander Qu's decision?" Cui Shuang's tone was slightly cold.

When Yuan Youchun saw that Cui Shuang didn't give any face to him, he immediately stopped flattering him and said, "I think this is not Commander Qu's decision, but Commander Cui's decision for himself, right?"

"Presumptuous." Cui Shuang slammed the table, but he really couldn't do anything to Yuan Youchun, and said: "I have already told you, believe it or not."

After saying that, Cui Shuang was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and left.

After leaving the restaurant, Cui Shuang's face turned completely cold when he saw that Yuan Youchun didn't chase him out to explain or apologize. He stopped staying and left Qingting County with his people.

on the way back.

The bumpy loess road, coupled with the poor suspension effect of the carriage, and the continuous bumps, made Cui Shuang, who was already in a bad mood, think of what happened in Qingting County, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

I feel that there is a huge difference between Yuan Youchun and Chen Mo.

Two days later.

When he returned to Xia Lin, Cui Shuang didn't even go back to rest. He went straight to Yang Minggui and told Yang Minggui the matter.

Because he accepted Chen Mo's benefits, he naturally spoke highly of Chen Mo. And when Yuan Youchun was very angry, he naturally tried his best to put on small shoes for him, saying:

"According to the investigation by his subordinates, Chen Mo did not deceive Qu Shuai. He is indeed poor. The so-called fine salt is extracted from coarse salt. For every kilogram of coarse salt, you can only get three ounces of fine salt. , In addition, many materials are used to refine fine salt, and the coarse salt sold to him by General Yuan is higher than the market price. After deducting the miscellaneous costs, the profit is not high.

Moreover, his subordinates discovered that General Yuan sold tens of thousands of kilograms of coarse salt to Chen Mo alone, but only five thousand kilograms of coarse salt was reported to Qu Shuai. "

Compared to Yuan Youchun, Yang Minggui believed in Cui Shuang more. After all, the latter was always by his side. Although the former was his adopted son, he was in a free-range state.

After hearing this, Yang Minggui's face darkened slightly: "This is what happened."

"My subordinates told General Yuan that this was the end of He Jinwu's matter and that this matter was your decision, Commander Qu. However, General Yuan didn't believe it and said that He Jinwu's death could not be in vain and that he would never end his relationship with Chen Mo." Cui Shuang said.

Yang Minggui frowned.

Xu Mu on the side didn't care about this matter. He just said: "So, this fine salt thing is true?"

Cui Shuang nodded: "Chen Mo said this was just a small business, so he didn't tell Qu Shuai. After I told him that Qu Shuai needed fine salt, he immediately told me how to refine coarse salt into fine salt. He killed his subordinates and took no money from them.

But I said that Qu Shuai was a person who knew rewards and punishments clearly, so his subordinates made the decision privately. If this method was true, they would sell the copper to him at a price lower than [-]% of the market price. "

After speaking, Cui Shuang took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yang Minggui.

Although the price originally told Chen Mo was [-]% lower than the market price, Cui Shuang did not solve the price of coarse salt for Chen Mo, so he could only reduce the price of red copper.

Yang Minggui didn't understand much, so after reading it, he handed it to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu actually didn't understand it very well, but it was easy to verify. Just follow the above method and try it.

The method Chen Mo wrote on the paper can be called nanny teaching, but he was afraid that the other party would not understand it.

The next day, according to Chen Mo's method, fine salt was actually extracted from coarse salt.

Of course, it's not as white as the fine salt we get from Pingting County, and it's a little less than three ounces.

But Yang Minggui, Xu Mu, and Cui Shuang didn't think anything of it. After all, as novices, they were able to achieve this effect after refining it for the first time, which shows that Chen Mo's method is true.

Although it is only [-]%, it is still more profitable than selling coarse salt.

Moreover, Yang Minggui's sales channels are much larger than Chen Mo's. He can even sell to the capital Tianchuan.

This profit is simply unimaginable.

Now let alone the death of his adopted son, even if his adopted son died, he would not be a little sad after getting this method of refining fine salt.

"Shuai Qu, with this method, the construction of the Heavenly King's Palace can be speeded up a lot." Xu Mu said.

"That's right, that's right." Yang Minggui said to Cui Shuang: "Your decision is right. I will naturally make rewards and punishments clear. Let's do this. Don't forget about it. Tell Chen Mo that he will come to buy red copper in the future. I will sell it to him at a price lower than half of the market value."

"No." Cui Shuang cupped his hand and said immediately: "Shuai Qu, where is General Yuan?"

Yang Minggui thought for a while, and when he was about to answer, the soldiers below came to report that Bai Su, the deputy commander of General Yuan, had arrived.

Xu Mu said: "Commander Qu, since Chen Mo didn't deceive you, it's time to give General Yuan a beating."

Yang Minggui nodded.

...June [-]th.

The divorce period was getting closer and closer. Chen Mo temporarily forgot about the unpleasantness during this period and started talking about concubinage.

Originally, he was just taking a concubine, but Chen Mo didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He just went to pick up a bride and go through the motions without setting up a table.

But just two days ago, someone got married in the city, held a banquet, and collected a lot of money.

Chen Mo thought, he might as well hold a banquet himself, which would make the Yi family feel respectable, make Yi Shiyan feel that he was valued, and secondly, collect a round of contribution money.

Although Chen Mo didn't say this explicitly, after all, you come to the wedding banquet, so you can't come empty-handed.

Others didn't think about it, they just thought that Chen Mo was doing this to give the Yi family face.

On the road from Yi's house to Yi's courtyard, red lanterns have been hung on both sides of the street in advance.

The wedding banquet was scheduled to be held in the Yi family courtyard, so after Chen Mo received the bride at the Yi family, he could just go straight to the Yi family courtyard.

The city is already immersed in a festive atmosphere in advance.

When Yi Shiyan heard the news, he couldn't stop smiling all day long.

I thought that after entering the door, I must serve Chen Mo well.

Yi Qianchi even wondered if the dowry was a little too little.

Outside the city, the brave guards have temporarily stopped training for the past few days and are patrolling outside.

Because the grain in the fields was about to be harvested, Chen Mo and Yuan Youchun had conflicts. They were afraid that the other party would cause trouble, so they took precautions in advance.

Most of these fields are guarded by brave guards, so they are particularly careful when inspecting them. After all, if there is a disaster, they will be the ones who suffer the most.

In Dadong Lake, due to the extremely high price offered by Chen Mo and the fact that he actually paid for the fish he caught, as soon as the news spread, some old fishermen even regarded fishing as their job. Stay at Big Hole Lake just to catch the kinds of fish that are released.

But this kind of spiritual fish is so rare that you may not be able to catch one in more than ten days.

But as long as you catch one, you can eat and drink for a year.

As a result, some people sneaked into the controlled area of ​​​​Qingting County to make arrests.

……

Yamen, in the wing room in the backyard.

"Recipe, Shining."

"When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family."

"."

"When my son returns home, it will be a good time for his family."

"This is my new poem, what do Zhiqing think?" Chen Mo sat next to Xia Zhiqing, placing his hands on the table with the guzheng, supporting his head, and staring at Xia Zhiqing's profile with a pair of deep eyes. .

Xia Zhiqing's eyes were fixed. After reading it carefully, she realized that it was very good. However, the meaning of this poem was that a woman would get married and have a son early. It was obviously not written for her.

Thinking of Chen Mo's intention to take a concubine in a few days, Xia Zhiqing did not answer Chen Mo's words, but asked: "Is this written by the county magistrate to Miss Shiyan?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, the 21st is when Xiaolu comes in. What do Zhiqing think of this poem? Will Xiaolu like it?"

Hearing that the young man really did it for another woman and asked her if other women would like it, Xia Zhiqing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and said, "It's okay, but not as good as last time." Guanju."

"That's right." Chen Mo straightened up and said, "I wrote it specifically for Zhi Qing. My feelings were poured into it, but this poem doesn't have that."

Hearing this, Xia Zhiqing's heart trembled. Was he saying that he liked her more than Yi Shiyan?
Since there is no emotion, why would you let the other person in?
At this moment, she suddenly thought that Yi Shiyan was the daughter of a noble family.

Did he accept Yi Shiyan just to win over the Yi family?

"Stop talking nonsense." Xia Zhiqing was a little confused and ignored the young man.

On the other side, Xia Zhining bit her red lips, feeling a little unhappy.

She felt that Chen Mo's attitude towards her in the past two days was not as good as before when she first had her period.

She thought of Chen Mo asking her to help him with her mouth the night before.
He did it on purpose.

Isn't it just that I refused to help him, so that's why?

Seeing her sister's suddenly shy look, Xia Zhining felt a little worried.

At this moment, Chun Hong's voice sounded outside the wing: "County Magistrate, Commander Sun is looking for you and says he has your letter."

ps: In the previous chapter, the price of red copper that is lower than half of the market price has been revised and changed to [-]%.
