Seeing that Liu Yi was about to explode, Xiao Yijie stopped him and said: "Master Ye is right, let's not mention this for now, Xiao suddenly thought of something to ask Sir, "

Chapter 38Layout

Ye Ping said politely: "Master Xiao, please tell me."

"The disaster funds allotted by the emperor can be used to buy grain, please ask Lord Ye to entertain the rice merchants in the city tomorrow in the mansion, and the general and I are new arrivals, please please inform me."

After Ye Ping listened, an unknown smile rose from the corner of his mouth and said: "No problem, this matter is on me."

After a so-called dinner party, the two strolled back to the inn. Liu Yi said inexplicably, "Why did your lord stop me just now? Just tell him that you have the holy decree, and it will be fine to prevent him from opening a position."

The people in the suburbs were poor, so they abandoned their homes and went out to flee. The restaurants in the city continued to operate as usual, and the rouge shops and silk shops did not see depression. Obviously, it was not just because of the lack of food.

Xiao Yijie shook his head, and said: "He insists on not allowing the opening of the warehouse, there must be something tricky in it, even if he is contradicted by the imperial decree, he must try his best to evade it, the disaster is so serious that he cannot afford to delay. Now I suspect that he is in Secretly cooperating with various grain stores to stockpile them in order to earn ill-gotten gains by increasing the price of rice, and when we meet those rice merchants in the city tomorrow, everything will naturally be revealed."

Yaluge, the largest brothel in Wutong, looks like a grand building from the outside, but it is magnificent and lively when you enter the inside.

"Hey, this young master is so handsome, what kind of girl do you like?" The old bustard lightly put on light makeup, not looking kitsch.

Shaking the paper fan lightly, Xiao Yijie said: "Prepare a side room for me, and prepare good wine and food." Then he took a step forward, took out the jade pendant from his bosom and quietly handed it to the old bustard.

The old bustard hid the jade pendant in his palm and carefully identified it, then handed it back respectfully: "My lord, please follow me upstairs to the wing."

When he arrived at the wing room, Xiao Yijie took out a letter from his bosom, and said, "Please pass it on to the owner of the jade pendant for me, you must be quick."

The old bustard nodded, carefully hid the letter in his arms, and hurried out to make arrangements.

In the blink of an eye, on the second day, Ye Fu sent someone to deliver invitations, and Xiao Yijie and Liu Yi attended the luncheon on time.

In the banquet hall, all kinds of delicious food and wine are placed on the table, which is very attractive.Xiao Yijie was dressed in a green uniform with dark patterns and a silver crown with hollow sun patterns on his head, which gave him a bit of official prestige. Ye Ping, who was sitting in the main seat next to her, inevitably lost some of his color.

"Lord Xiao, this is Nie Yuanwai, this is Zhao Yuanwai, this is Mei Yuanwai," several people saluted together, "they are the bosses of our several grain stores in Tongzhou."

Xiao Yijie saluted one by one, then got up and held up the wine glass and said: "Xiao first toasts to all the staff, the prosperity of Tongzhou is indispensable."

"Your Excellency Xiao is so polite. Your Excellency has come all the way. I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time." Zhao Yuanwai flattered him.

Officer Nie next to him continued, "Don't worry, my lord, we will sell the food to you at a slightly lower price than now. As for the difference in price, it can be regarded as my kindness to the two lords."

"That's right, Lord Xiao and General Liu have worked hard all the way, that's what they should." Member Wai Mei hurriedly agreed.

Ye Ping was on the side but smiled and said nothing, Xiao Yijie laughed and said, "Oh? I don't know how the outsiders plan to sell it?"

There was a bit of contempt in Ye Ping's eyes, this Xiao Yijie was pretending to be noble at first, but in fact he was just a person who was greedy for money, so he spoke first: "Master Xiao, what are your plans?"

"What's the market price now?"

"Thirty coins for a bucket." Ye Ping opened his mouth, and the others dared not answer. Their current price is actually only twenty coins, but this is already four times higher than before.

"Then how about giving it to Xiao at the price of twenty cents a bucket?" She deliberately turned her head to look at Liu Yi, and he nodded cooperatively.

Ye Ping smiled so that the frown at the corners of his eyes deepened, and he said decisively: "Friendship!" He raised his wine glass first, and the other three raised their glasses afterward, "Master Xiao, General Liu, I will toast you two, and wait for the food to come out of Chang'an." Are you afraid that you won’t get rich? Haha!”

Everyone had a plan in their minds, and Ye Ping and his team were very happy seeing that this was almost a lucrative business deal. They toasted the two of them in turn, and the atmosphere became lively for a while.

After drinking the wine in the glass in one go, Xiao Yijie said: "Master Ye, the silver is in the warehouse, how about paying when the grains of the others arrive? Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the superiors."

The money was in his treasury, and he was worried that others would not be able to take it, Ye Ping readily agreed: "Of course, I will send someone to deliver the two adults' share."

After drinking for three rounds, Ye Ping sent someone to drive them back to the inn. Xiao Yijie said goodbye to him. He was already staggering when he walked, and his steps were weak. The carriage stopped in front of the inn. Liu Yi supported her all the way back to the inn. room.

As soon as the door of the room was closed, Xiao Yijie's eyes immediately became clear. She straightened her clothes, sat down on the chair, and said, "This Ye Ping is really colluding with the rice merchant Lang. Before we get the evidence of his corruption Need to stall for time."

Liu Yi nodded and asked, "Are you sure you can get the evidence?"

"Although you can rest assured, general, I will definitely get it before I go back to my command, but right now I am worried that our troops are not enough, and I hope the general will go to the Jiangzhou camp to transfer troops in person."

Seeing his confident smile, Wang Zhong did not doubt him and said: "Okay, I will set off now. It will take me two days to reach Jiangzhou by myself, and five or six days, at most seven days, to go back and forth with soldiers and horses. I will definitely come back." ."

Xiao Yijie had deep sword eyebrows, and said: "Be careful in everything!"

Liu Yi stood up, boldly said: "I know, you should be careful in everything."

Jiangzhou, named because it is located on the south side of Bojiang River, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. When the first emperor of Yunguo was not unified, Yunguo and Yeguo, among the five kingdoms in the world, were bounded by Bojiang.After the reunification, the first emperor changed the original territory of Ye Kingdom to Jiangzhou, and established the Jiangzhou Camp to be stationed here all the year round. Borrowing troops from there is the fastest way.

It was night, Yaluge sent a carriage over, led by a young servant to go upstairs, Xiao Yijie pushed the door and entered, Liu Zhishan was wearing a blue dress and a purple apron, sitting upright in a pear tree carving. On the chair with auspicious cloud patterns, it is charming yet elegant.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, come and sit."

"The Flooding Sect really deserves its reputation. It actually collected the evidence I wanted so quickly."

Liu Zhishan didn't know how to explain it, and she didn't understand why she rushed over when she received the news. She traveled day and night without stopping, and she just shortened the original four-day journey to two days.

"The spies under the door are already investigating, and there is something in the door, so I came here early."

Noticing her dodging eyes, Xiao Yijie said strangely: "Since the sect master didn't bring what I wanted, why did you ask me to come?"

Liu Zhishan couldn't think of the reason, so she said bluntly, "Can't I invite you to dinner?"

Xiao Yijie spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Okay, then eat." The behavior of the head of the Flowing Devouring Sect is too weird, and she doesn't bother to guess.

After drinking at noon, Xiao Yijie's belly was empty at this moment, she was really hungry, she enjoyed the food, and suddenly sighed: "The wine and meat of Zhumen smell bad, the road is frozen to death, God is really unfair."

How many refugees outside the door are still hungry, but they can enjoy the delicious food in this magnificent place. If they hadn't met the master and hadn't suffered so much, would they still be little beggars on the street?

"You are a 'rich family' and not that 'frozen bone', what is there to sigh?" In Liu Zhishan's world, there is only self-interest and no sympathy.

Xiao Yijie smiled and said: "What the sect master said is true, but if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Wouldn't it be good to let everyone live a good life?"
