Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 144: A plan to draw fire under the cauldron

Yan Mo crouched at the door of the back hall and eavesdropped. When he heard that Bei Sheng didn't ask him to deal with troubles, but to do big business, he felt a little happy.

But if you go in at this time, doesn't it prove that you lied?

Turning his eyes, he thought of an idea, turned around and ran towards the stables behind.

Bei Sheng found a corner to sit and wait, and she did not interfere with the business in the store.

Hearing the neighing of a horse from the backyard, the boy hurried in.

He came to Beisheng and said, "Second girl, our boss is back."

Bei Sheng smiled faintly: "Your boss came back so quickly!"

The boy said: "As soon as I chased him out, I saw our boss's carriage coming back. He said that he had forgotten something important. He told the girl about the second girl, and our boss told her to wait upstairs. , he will change his clothes and come.”

Bei Sheng followed the boy upstairs. The boy prepared the tea and then left. After a while, Yan Mo came, breathing heavily and looking like he was tired from all the work.

He oops a few times, sat across from Bei Sheng, and said: "Second girl is coming today, so I should have sent someone to announce it yesterday. I would have been waiting for her earlier. A letter came from Runing, saying There is an important batch of goods that I need to repair in person, and I almost missed the girl's business."

Beisheng listened, but did not expose his lie. He only took out the box hidden in his sleeve, put it in front of Yan Mo, and said straight to the point: "Here is 150,000 taels. Take the money and go to Runing first." , buy a sick horse at a low price. Then pretend to be a horse dealer, go to Baoding, and sell these sick horses to King Leping at a high price."

Yan Mo only thought it was some big business. When he heard this idea, he suddenly laughed out loud, "Sister, why did you catch King Leping alone? There are many sick horses in the slaughterhouse, but how can you guarantee Leping?" Will the king take a fancy to these sick horses and be willing to pay a high price for them?”

Bei Sheng took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Mo, with a glint of pride in his eyes as he said: "This is the prescription. If you feed the horses according to this prescription, they will all be alive and well when they are in the hands of King Leping." .”

Yan Mo was really scared, and his hand trembled as he unfolded the prescription, including ginseng, Codonopsis root, Radix Pseudostellariae, Acanthopanax senticosus, musk, camphor, Scutellaria baicalensis, Nux vomica...

Although he didn't understand pharmacology, he saw a prescription for a great tonic.

These medicinal materials are not cheap. In order to deceive King Leping, Xu Beisheng really risked his own life.

Yan Mo folded the prescription and put it into his sleeve, and said calmly: "I don't know if King Leping had offended you in his previous life, causing you to harm him again and again."

He guessed correctly, King Leping had really offended her.

If Xiao Yi hadn't rebelled and succeeded in his previous life, Nan Yin would not have become Xiao Yi's queen, and Xu Beisheng would not have died at Nan Yin's hands.

Beisheng lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and said: "I am helping Dajing, not for personal gain. Since King Leping went north, the people in the north who were already in dire straits have become even worse!"

"He is already recruiting troops and preparing to raise his troops. If his soldiers are riding sick horses, then the war will begin and our Xu family army will die less."

Yan Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled when he looked at Bei Sheng, "The second girl has a deep mind, which I never understood from the beginning to the end, but you and I are close friends, so don't say such high-sounding words in front of me."

Seemingly feeling that he had said too much, Yan Mo added, "I won't ask too much about the girl, but I still have to ask clearly about business matters. How much does the girl plan to earn this time?"

Beisheng counted five and said: "I want at least this number. If Boss Yan can sell it at a higher price, the extra number will belong to Boss Yan."

Yan Mo's eyes suddenly widened. One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver turned into five hundred thousand taels... Xu Beisheng was still bold enough to think and do!

If he also wants to profit from it, then he must be more courageous than Xu Beisheng.

Before the matter was done, Yan Mo was already covered in sweat. This was even more timid than the previous two times when he had defrauded King Leping of money.

He never dreamed that Xu Beisheng could use the same trick on King Leping three times.

With trembling hands, he hid the box containing the banknotes in his sleeves, stood up and said, "Without further ado, I'll leave today!"

Bei Sheng also stood up, saluted Yan Mo, and said respectfully, "Thank you."

Yan Mo's legs were sore when he went downstairs. He gave a few simple instructions to his men and hurried towards the back hall.

Beisheng bought two taels of tea at Eryatang before leaving. With an unconcealed look in his eyes, he boarded his carriage.

The girl participating in the selection of the Crown Princess will enter the palace this evening. She wants to enjoy the rare freedom outside the palace for a while longer, so she and Lu Zhuwanyue plan to stroll on the street for a while before returning.

Xiao Xun arrived in the capital today, and Lang Zhuo and other cabinet ministers came to the city gate to greet him early in the morning.

Xiao Xun was supposed to arrive in Beijing two days ago, but he was stopped by local officials on the way and sued King Leping for what he did in the north, so he was two days later than expected.

There was a continuous drizzle in Beijing, and Xiao Xun's mood was also accompanied by the cold wind.

Just thinking that Bei Sheng has entered the palace makes him feel a little better.

When he arrived at the city gate, he saw a group of ministers greeting him, so he got off the carriage and asked the others to go back first. He and Lang Zhuo went to inspect the camp outside the city.

Ignoring the drizzle still falling in the sky, the two rode off.

Lang Zhuo originally wanted Xiao Xun to rest for half a day before going, but Xiao Xun insisted on going immediately, so Lang Zhuo had no choice but to comply.

Xu Jiajun, Zhao Jiajun, and other troops all looked at them one by one before walking back.

The drizzle had stopped, and Lang Zhuo was talking about Marquis Gaoyang's attempt to win over Duke An. However, Xiao Xun's mood did not seem to be affected by King Leping's rebellion anymore, and his appearance was much clearer than when he first entered the capital.

Xiao Xun turned to look at Lang Zhuo and said: "All the way from Beijing to Baoding, and then from Baoding back to the capital, I heard a lot about Xiao Yi. It gave me a headache, but after listening to your Excellency, After reporting and checking the situation in each major camp, I felt much better."

Lang Zhuo smiled faintly, "I am not worried about the rest of the affairs. The only one I am worried about is King Sheng Le. Yesterday I met with the Holy Lord. I plan to send an envoy to Sheng Le tomorrow to discuss the marriage with King Sheng Le."

He reported everything that happened in the court yesterday to Xiao Xun.

But when he heard Lang Zhuo's suggestion that Princess Shengle come to the capital to run for the crown princess, Xiao Xun couldn't help but tense up, "My lord, the plan is a good one, but if I really have to ask that princess to be the crown prince in the future, I..."

Lang Zhuo reined in the horse a little and walked slower, saying: "This is just an excuse. How could the Crown Princess of Dajing and the future mother of the country be the daughter of Sheng Le? Even if His Highness falls in love with her, the ministers will not Agree. But in order to convince King Shengle, His Highness still has to show his sincerity."

Xiao Xun finally took a breath and nodded silently.
