[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 82 [English]

Chapter 80 Betrothal Gift

This sparring session was particularly long, pushing the feeling of satisfaction further and further into the unfinished feeling after eating the marrow and knowing the taste.They are used to fighting in the dark, and as their love grows deeper, kissing can no longer be satisfying.The desires of the prime of life are honest to each other. This kind of sweet and sticky rubbing is a unique treat for lovers, because being next to each other for a moment is a luxury.However, the prison had many eyes and ears, so the kiss was just some kind of tacit compensation.

Xiao Chiye asked at the end of the kiss: “Where did you go?”

Shen Zechuan’s thigh rubbed against the side of Xiao Chiye’s leg as he sat. He breathed slowly and slowly, with a hidden temptation in his half-concealed eyes, and said, “Count the money.”

Xiao Chiye pinched his tongue and said, “Are you good at counting?”

Shen Zechuan laughed hoarsely and said, “You squeeze me so hard.”

Xiao Chiye was so excited by Shen Zechuan’s laughter that he raised his hand to steady his chin and said, “Hook him hard.”

Shen Zechuan’s collarbone was exposed from his unbuttoned collar, and the mark from where he was bitten last time was still there.He didn’t care at all, licked his bitten lips and said, “I want to discuss something with you.”

Xiao Chiye raised his he and said, “What a coincidence, I also want to discuss something with you.”

Xiao Chiye’s eyes made Shen Zechuan’s mouth go dry, and he said, “This year’s army rations will not leave Juexi until April. I want to use the Northeast Grain Horse Road.”

Xiao Chiye used his brain a little and knew what he was going to do, and said: “The military rations on the Northeast Grain and Horse Road will be escorted by the Libei Iron Cavalry themselves. No one will check along the way. It is okay to transport silver, but it depends on whether the elder brother agrees.”

“If this money is mine, the Crown Prince will naturally not agree to it, but if this money is yours, the Crown Prince will definitely agree.” Shen Zechuan raised his chin slightly, “I’m hiring you, Second Young Master, keep it for me.”

“I want to use such a small amount of money as a betrothal gift,” Xiao Chiye smiled and raised his hand to lift the food box to the table, “It’s hard.”

Shen Zechuan smelled the smell and said, “There is roasted fish.”

After saying that, he forgot about the betrothal gift and took out the chopsticks by himself.Xiao Chiye just watched him eat. Half of the bowl of rice was gone in the blink of an eye, and when the fish returned to the plate, only the bones were left.

Xiao Chiye actually doesn’t like to eat fish. When he was a child, his mother didn’t get married early, and the family didn’t like the pampering of the eight family members. Although he was served by his mother-in-law and maids, he had to eat by himself after he could hold chopsticks.He has a hot temper and likes to play with a lot of things. He doesn’t care about spending time picking out fish bones. If there are too many fish bones, he won’t eat much.

Xiao Chiye looked at him and said, “Does it smell good? It is said that the cook from Hezhou is harder to find than the imperial chef in the palace.” Shen Zechuan picked the thorn and fed Xiao Chiye a chopstick. Xiao Chiye tasted it and said, “It’s good.”

When Shen Zechuan was full, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, “What do you want to discuss with me?”

Xiao Chiye handed him the handkerchief and said, “I checked Xiangyun earlier and missed something. Xue Xiuzhuo bought a group of people in Xiangyunfang a few years ago and kept them in his house. I’m afraid even Xi Hongxuan doesn’t know about this.”

As expected, Shen Zechuan’s expression changed and he said, “He is not a person who keeps prostitutes privately. This kind of thing is rare in Ouhua Tower. This behavior is too abnormal.”

“Yes, it’s just abnormal,” Xiao Chiye leaned back in his chair, “I intuitively felt that this was the reason why Xiangyun bit me back.”

“He bought someone a few years ago,” Shen Zechuan gradually frowned, “If it is really to capture Xiangyun, then this move was arranged too early.”

“Why was Xiangyun captured because of this? Some chess pieces were played too early and may not withstand the wear and tear of time. I think he did this not only to capture Xiangyun.” Xiao Chiye sorted out the thread, “Your plan to assassinate is not something that he can predict in advance, so he will definitely be unable to guard against the subsequent development.”

Xiao Chiye groped through the messy threads like weeds one by one. His wolf-like intuition made him think that things would not be so simple.

“Impromptu,” Shen Zechuan suddenly straightened Xiao Chiye’s face and said, “You are right, Xiangyun’s line was not used by him to deal with you… Xiangyun’s perjury that time was just his push. The fact that he could throw Xiangyun out and use it so casually shows that Xiangyun is not important to him at all. He bought artificial intelligence for his reason, and Xiangyun is just a pawn in this reason, even heA chess piece that I can’t wait to throw away.”

“Then the key to buying people is…” Xiao Chi has a clear ambition.

“In the group of people he bought.” Shen Zechuan said softly.

The two people looked at each other, but fell into another unknown.Xiangyunfang is a brothel. Who in the brothel is important to Xue Xiuzhuo?

“He bought more than a dozen people in order to confuse people and make it impossible for people to tell who he was buying. Xiangyun definitely doesn’t know this either.” Xiao Chiye said, “I have to ask Xue Xiuyi to investigate this matter again. He is in Xue’s house and can come and go freely based on his identity. Xue Xiuzhuo can stop outsiders, but he is determined not to stop him.”

This news was indeed important, and Shen Zechuan couldn’t figure it out for a while.He touched Xi Hongxuan this time because he was afraid of Xue Xiuzhuo, who was also trying to manipulate Xi Hongxuan.As time goes by, instead of becoming clearer, this person becomes increasingly unclear.

“…There is still time,” Shen Zechuan seemed to be saying to himself, “Once you are anxious, you will be confused, and you will easily fall into a disadvantage. Since he has not made any move yet, it means that the time has not come, then you and I can take advantage of it. At this time, we are working in secret and in the light, and we will definitely learn something important by following the clues… Xi Hongxuan and Xue Xiuzhuo have been friends for many years, heEven if you don’t know about Xue Xiuzhuo’s prostitution, you will know something that others don’t know.Let me find out more.”

“After talking all over, I still didn’t tell the second young master everything.” Xiao Chiye refused to let him get off him, “How much money did you defraud him?”

Shen Zechuan came back to his senses, pursed his lips slightly, and stretched out four fingers.

Without saying a word, Xiao Chiye immediately clenched his fingertips and said, “Okay, it’s worth it, hurry up and apply.”

Shen Zechuan said: “It’s better to be more reserved, four million is too little.”

Xiao Chiye said: “You’re too lavish. The starting price is four million? If you are so good at making money, you will be willing to pay any prince.”

Shen Zechuan was amused by he and said: “I told him that Wei Huaigu wanted four million taels of silver, but he didn’t hesitate at all and didn’t show any embarrassment. This shows that four million is just a drop in the bucket for the Xi family.”

Xiao Chiye saw that he was happy tonight, so he stopped mentioning Xue Xiuzhuo’s matter, and said, “How much money the Xi family has, only he himself knows. Others can only see him.”They opened salt mountains to dig copper mines, and their business not only spread all over the country, but also went as far as overseas.Ordinary dandy’s play is to hold the top cards and play casinos, but Xi Hongxuan plays to open brothels and casinos. Donglong Yaxing is also his shop, and many ministers of the DPRK and China are involved in it. They all have land and business that are in his hands, so he has to give it to him.Face.This time I asked for four million taels. How much will I need next time?The Northeast Grain and Horse Road only runs twice a year. How to hide and spend so much money is a matter of course.”

“The Xi family’s treasury has never been broken into. It is safest to keep the money in it. No matter how you spend it now, it will not escape the court’s eyes. Your account of the 20,000 forbidden troops will have to be checked three times. If this money is not spent wisely, the second young master will have to be imprisoned pending trial.”

Xiao Chiye was really curious and said, “Was it spending money? It’s just for fun…Are you going to leave this money to Zhongbo?”

“We have nowhere to go for the time being,” Shen Zechuan saw that the time was almost up, and tied the buttons with one hand, “If the second young master is not a family member, how can he know how valuable tea, rice, oil, and salt are? There will be many places to use money in the future. Even if you can’t spend it for the time being, there is no harm in being prepared. Everything should be just in case.”

He The two of them were discussing other people’s family backgrounds together like this, with serious expressions on their faces. It was clear that they had tricked Xi Hongxuan.Xiao Chiye had to go back to the Kailing River. After saying a few words, he had to leave. He was in a hurry to see him in the air. After he was fed, he could no longer sit down.

When Xiao Chiye got on his horse, he thought of something else. He tightened the reins and said, “In the past two days, the chief envoys and cabinets of the six prefectures of Zhongbo have been drafted. Jiang Qingshan from the west of the country has been ordered to come to the capital to report on his duties. I guess he is probably the one.”

“I’ve heard of his name for a long time, and I remember that six years ago he was very courageous in handling the disaster relief work in the Thirteen Cities of Juexi.” When Shen Zechuan said this, he remembered that this person also had a good relationship with Xue Xiuzhuo, and couldn’t help but hesitate.

“Although he has a good personal relationship with Xue Xiuzhuo, he may not be Xue Xiuzhuo’s person. When he enters the capital, you can meet him for a while. He is not a child of a noble family, and he does not rely on a noble family to enjoy the coolness. You can use it or not, and you can decide by yourself when the time comes.” Xiao Chiye looked at Shen Zechuan standing on the steps and raised his hand to wave.

Shen Zechuan listened intently, but Xiao Chiye said nothing and only rubbed He’s hair with his palms.The guests were dressed in the snow, Ge Qingqing opened the door, and Xiao Chiye rode into the night.
