I was reborn and married a villain, and I won by lying down

"My father-in-law has been walking in the palace for many years and knows everything by heart. I think he knows all the doctors in the palace."

Qu Yunchu continued to probe: "I think Eunuch Liu also knew that I was a close friend with the deceased Qu Tianshi. She was sent to Jiuyun Mountain since she was a child, and she has always been brooding about the death of her father Qu Jianghe. She didn't know that Eunuch Liu How much do you know about Dr. Qu?"

Hearing her mention Qu Jianghe, Liu Quan couldn't help but frown: "It's not that our family deliberately criticized Imperial Physician Qu. This person is indeed outstanding in medical skills, but he is too naive and straightforward. If you don't know how to be flexible while walking in the palace, how can you last long?"

Although Qu Yun was not happy when he heard this at first, Liu Quan's words were quite to the point and he did not wrong his father.

My father's temperament is really not suitable for being an errand in the palace.

Liu Quan raised his eyebrows and said: "Our family remembers that when Imperial Physician Qu entered the palace, it was the time when the fight for the right to inherit the throne was the most intense. I heard that Imperial Physician Qu was very close to the King of Jin and his mother-in-law at that time, but it was the late Emperor who resented it the most. The imperial physician interacted with concubines and princes, and it was precisely because of this that the imperial physician Qu offended the late emperor and was convicted."

After hearing this, Qu Yunchu did not dare to question the cause of his father's death.

As Liu Quan said, no one else can blame him for his father's death.

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu, for telling me all the palace affairs today, so I won't disturb you any more."

Qu Yunchu stood up and wanted to leave.

"Second Young Madam, please wait."

Liu Quan quickly stopped her, then took out the bank's banknote stub from his arms and handed it to her, and told her: "Second Young Madam, keep this ticket stub. It may be useful at this juncture. The Chen family Although it is not as good as when the Lu family was at its peak, the head of the Chen family also asked our family to bring some information. If the second young lady and the second master are of any use, please feel free to speak up."

"Thank you."

Qu Yunchu bowed deeply to him, looked at the banknotes, and thought about it for a moment before putting it in his pocket.

After leaving the Weaving Department and getting on the carriage, Qu Yunchu carefully counted the amount of money on the ticket stubs. At this time, he actually transferred 200 million taels of silver from Xiyuan Bank.

It was these 200 million taels of silver that allowed Lu Wenqian to successfully get rid of the Holy Lady, which was a good deal for him.

It's a pity that Lu Yanchao is too greedy and has the audacity to plan and make huge profits on Yanyin. This is simply impatient to live.

Throughout the dynasties, the most taboo thing for any king is not to have the two items of salt and iron controlled by others, touching the foundation of the country, the country, and even confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

He didn't care about life and death alone, but he ruined the entire Lu family and the business empire built by Lu Baisheng and Lu Wenqian. It was a pity.

Thinking of this, Qu Yunchu took out the banknote stub again, holding it in his hand and looking back and forth. Just when he was thinking about whether to return it to Lu Wenqian, Xitong suddenly appeared next to her.

Xitong snatched the banknote stub from her hand, glanced at it briefly, and suddenly showed an incredible expression: "Smelly Taoist nun, you are a Taoist man, how did you save so much money?"

"You come and go without a trace, and you don't say hello first when you show up."

Qu Yunchu rolled his eyes at him angrily.

"I just heard some new things. I happened to meet you and came here to talk to you."

Xitong reluctantly handed the banknote back to her hand and said meaningfully: "You must be very interested in this matter. Maybe I can keep the money in my hand for you."

"what for?"

Qu Yunchu asked.

"Then Lu Yanchao was hoarding salt in Quzhou. He just wanted to make some money, but he didn't expect it to cause a disaster. Taoist nun, have you ever thought about who will be the final beneficiary of this disaster?"

Xitong did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

Qu Yunchu had never cared about these things, but he also knew that the Lu family had many rivals in the business field, so he said: "The Han family of the four great imperial merchants has already fallen, and the Chen family does not dare to openly be enemies with the Lu family. , naturally the only one who can eat the giant Lu family is the Song family."

<divclass="contentadv">"You are smart."

Xitong smiled and said: "It is Song Chuyuan, the new head of the Song family. It was he who planned the disaster in Quzhou. I heard that he has now taken over the Yanyang Weaving Bureau. I am afraid that all the Lu family's industries will be destroyed." will be swallowed up by him.”

Qu Yunchu frowned: "Shopping malls are like battlefields. Soldiers must never be tired of deceit. Whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it is their ability to fall into the hands of others. I can't blame others. The only blame I can blame is Lu Yanchao who was too greedy and happened to fall into the trap. Falling into someone else's trap."

"I'm very pleased that you can take this matter so lightly. I'm afraid that you won't be so calm about what I'm going to say next."

Xitong added: "The Song family is not just a simple imperial businessman. The financial backer behind Crescent Academy is the Song family."

This news shocked Qu Yunchu.

Over the years in Tanzhou, her ears almost grew calluses when she heard people mention Crescent Academy. It was a force that many powerful officials and dignitaries were afraid of.

It's no wonder that the Song family has been able to go smoothly for so many years without the support of nobles in the palace. It turns out that they have a Crescent Party as their backer.

While Qu Yunchu was still thinking, Xitong pretended to be mysterious and asked her: "Stinky Taoist Sister, do you think who I met today?"

"If you want to say anything, just say it, but don't keep it secret."

Qu Yunchu urged impatiently.

"Tang Shun, the Minister of Household Affairs."

Xitong replied wisely: "This person secretly met Song Chuyuan, the head of the Song family, in Crescent Academy. There must be no good things for these two people to meet. The one the Crescent Party is most afraid of now is Zhang Jinnian. You and Lord Ghost King are returning to the Lu family at this time." , it will inevitably leave people with something to say, if Lord Ghost King wants to use Zhang Jinnian to restore the Lu family's status as an imperial merchant, I am afraid that he will play into his own ambitions."

Wouldn't that be a good way to bring down Zhang Jinnian?

Qu Yunchu was so excited that he almost spoke out.

"Stinky Taoist Sister, don't you also hope that Lord Ghost King and Zhang Jinnian will fall?"

Xitong suddenly realized that something was wrong and looked at her warily.

"how come."

Qu Yunchu smiled but said: "Second Master Lu and I are husband and wife. If something happens to him, can I forgive him?"

"I don't believe your nonsense."

Xitong curled her lips and said: "Stinky Taoist Sister, you have now eradicated the remaining forces in Sunset City. The Demon King of Devil's Cave poses no threat to you at all. Just for the sake of our friendship, let him live. I promise, he will be with you later." On the day he returns to the underworld, I will welcome him back to Jiuluo City and will never cause any trouble to your Xuanmen."

"I can't tell that you are quite loyal to him."

Qu Yunchu smiled and joked: "Aren't you afraid that he will continue to make things difficult for you?"

"After all, he is my old master. How can I just watch him wander into the world."

Xitong sighed: "Even if he is ruthless, I can't be unjust. I can't let the ghost world look down upon me."

After a pause, he continued vowingly: "As long as you promise to let the Ghost King return to the underworld safely, I hope Tong's life will be yours."

It was rare for him to plead with him in such a lowly manner. Thinking about it, he had indeed helped him solve many difficult problems since he met him. Qu Yunchu thought about it again and again, and finally compromised:

"As long as the Ghost King of the Devil's Cave does not harm the world, I naturally do not want to be his enemy."
