Zhou Jingxuan's words immediately made the two Xie brothers feel the same.

The same is true for them. If there were direct concubines like other families, then the Xie family should have given his brother two days.

However, his father and clan members often praised Xie Cheng, saying that Xie Cheng was the hope of the Xie family.

But what about the two brothers?

They obviously work very hard, no worse than Xie Cheng.

Already a bit drunk, when he heard Zhou Jingxuan's words, Xie Yu slammed the table, and the loud sound seemed to scare Zhou Jingxuan.

He blurred his eyes and looked around in horror: "What's going on!"

Xie Yu chuckled: "It's me. I just listened to Brother Jing's words and felt aggrieved."

"Obviously Brother Jing is the legitimate child of his original wife, so his status is naturally not comparable to that of a concubine."

"They can only see that lowly person, they are so blind!"

Xie Yu seemed to be speaking to himself and his brother.

After hearing that Zhou Jingxuan was in a similar situation to them, I felt a little closer to Zhou Jingxuan and felt that they were all in the same boat.

"Brother Jing, don't worry, our ore is of excellent quality, even if it is made into jewelry, it can be sold at a high price."

The two chatted for a while, and finally Xie Yu and Xie Jian negotiated a lower price and finally reached a contract.

Zhou Jingxuan first gave him 500,000 taels of silver today.

After the contract was written, he gave the deposit of five hundred thousand taels.

The two Xie brothers saw that Zhou Jingxuan was able to take out the deposit without any hesitation, and they became even more convinced that Zhou Jingxuan was a wealthy businessman, perhaps an extremely wealthy one.

After the contract was written and the deposit was paid, the two Xie brothers pretended to keep Zhou Jingxuan. Zhou Jingxuan put his arms around Jiang Si's waist and said with a sleazy look on his face: "Thank you two good brothers."

"I won't stay today. I have to go back and give my wife a shoulder massage."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow we will meet again."

After saying that, he smiled, and both the Xie brothers understood what he meant.

Zhou Jingxuan put his arms around Jiang Si and got into the carriage. The drunkenness on his face disappeared instantly, and his eyes were clear and there was no hint of drunkenness.

Xie Jian and Xie Yu, who were standing at the door of Xie's house, also turned around and entered the house after Zhou Jingxuan got on the carriage.

Although their cheeks were flushed, they didn't look like they were drunk at all.

Most of the Xie family's business is discussed at the wine table, and his two brothers have a very good drinking capacity.

How could he get drunk after just a few drinks?

It is easiest to figure out someone when they are drunk, so once they find someone they feel good about, they will do so.

Once a person is drunk, no matter how cautious he is, his heart will not be on guard at this time.

Telling the truth after drinking is not just talk.

Xie Yu and Xie Jian had no doubt that Zhou Jingxuan was not drunk, because the wine served was brewed by someone specially hired by the Xie family, and ordinary people could easily get drunk.

They had just made people drink a lot, and they were absolutely sure whether the other person was drunk.

A trace of pride appeared on Xie Yu's face: "Brother, this person named Jing is not bad."

"I gave these five hundred thousand taels as I asked."

"I guess he has a rich family. If we can cooperate with him for a long time to introduce famous families from Jiangbei, then my father will never think that we are inferior to that bastard."

"And his situation is similar to ours, so he will definitely not be won over by that bastard."

As soon as he said this, Xie Jian thought about it carefully and realized that this was feasible.

It is definitely better to have long-term partners in business.

But he didn't want to think simply like Xie Yu, he had to take another look.

He was silent for a moment and responded: "We will wait until the order is completed first."

In the evening, when they heard that Chen Shi was rebuilding Heyuan Pass with money, the two Xie brothers who were eating suddenly couldn't eat anymore.

Others don’t know where the money comes from, they don’t know yet.

You don’t need to think about it to know that this money most likely belongs to their Xie family!

Xie Jian took a deep breath: "It's really too much!"

"It seems it's time for us to teach them a lesson."

The next day, An Yi was assassinated.

It's just that that level of assassination poses no threat to An Yi.

After the failure, a sneer appeared on Xie Jian's face: "He is indeed the regent. It would be strange if he could be assassinated so easily."

Xie Yu looked a little anxious at the side: "What should we do now?"

"There is absolutely nothing we can do against him, not just assassination, nor anything else."

"Now the people in Heyuan Pass regard him as a god."

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and used the Xie family's money to gain a good reputation. He was so powerful!

A glint flashed in Xie Jian's eyes: "Don't worry, let him be happy for some time first."

A vicious idea slowly formed in Xie Jian's mind. If this move were to come true, even the people in Heyuan Pass would die a lot.

But so what, the life and death of those people had nothing to do with him.

The more people who died, the better. The more people died, the more Zhou Jingxuan could not escape his involvement.

From that day on, the Xie family kept their peace. An Yin was still wary of their second assassination, but who knew that they would not succeed after that one attempt.

An Yi felt that the Xie family gave up completely when they saw that the assassination was not working.

Until ten days later, something big happened.

It rained heavily that day and hundreds of people died.

There were only three or two survivors.

They said with red eyes that Zhou Jingxuan asked them to dredge the area, which caused the landslide.

But Anichi didn't do it at all, nor did he order any of these things.

This was clearly a deliberate labeling.

When Zhou Jingxuan found out, he immediately thought of the Xie family.

He knew that this was a trick used by the two brothers Xie Jian and Xie Yu.

Rumors gradually began to spread in the city that the regent did not care about the lives of the people for the sake of political achievements.

Some people even shouted for him to get out of Heyuan Pass. There is no need for such selfish people here.

These were unarmed people, and they moved the countless dead bodies to the government office and left them there.

Not only An Yi didn't dare to come out, but anyone in the government office would be splashed with swill.

But facing this group of people, they couldn't take action. If they met a few bandits, they would kill them. But if they took action against these people, it might arouse public outrage.

Chen Shi curled his neck and hid in the government office and sighed secretly. He had been in the officialdom for so many years, but he couldn't understand the intrigues involved.

But so what if he knew it, would he explain that it was none of the Regent's business?

He would definitely be beaten to death, and hundreds of corpses were placed outside.

The most shrewd thing the Xie family did was that the person who sent the message also died.

The remaining people alive are not from the Xie family at all.

This killed the regent.

At this time, Zhou Jingxuan was sitting in the room, with a man wearing coarse clothes kneeling in front of him.

There was a lot of stubble on his chin, but he was in good spirits.

His voice was filled with excitement: "Your Majesty, Pei Xuan, has met the prince!"
