"Yesterday, he went again...?"

In a spacious study, Xie Yan had two plates of fruit and a small jug of wine in front of him, waiting for someone to come.Before the guest arrived, he picked up a book and read it, and he didn't know if he read it or not.

A servant a few steps away bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes, I heard from the eunuchs that he was not stopped at last night's banquet."

Xie Yan didn't speak, just flipped through his book.He didn't ask anyone to leave for a long time, and that person didn't dare to leave. He lowered his head and didn't forget to look at his master's reaction. It took a long time before he heard Xie Yan leisurely throw out a sentence: "Same as before, stayed all night?"

The servant said firmly, "One night."

"Go and receive the reward," Xie Yan closed the book, "thank you to those father-in-laws in the uncle's residence."

The servant turned around and went out. After a while, Zhang Shenxiu arrived.

"The others didn't arrive?" Zhang Shenxiu looked around, saw the fruit on the table, and took one to eat.

Xie Yan poured the wine: "Today, it's just you and me."

"Business or private?" Zhang Shenxiu was not very happy. He had agreed to take a rest today, but Xie Yanfei had asked him to come here. If it wasn't for the Chamber of Commerce, he would still be at home with Liu Jiao, looking at a newly engraved book together. Jin Ping Mei.

"On business," Xie Yan said cryptically, "Take it easy, I called you to Nanjing to make money."

Zhang Shenxiu didn't intend to talk about Liu Jiao with Xie Yan, it was for no other reason, Xie Yan always held a pessimistic attitude towards the things between them.Zhang Shenxiu didn't like it, he always had a hundred times confidence in what he wanted.

"What's the matter with Zhejiang?"

"Well," Xie Yan brought him a glass of wine, "If all goes well, the ship will be ready for departure in July."

"How long will you be going this time?"

"According to the speed of the boat, it will take about a month."

Zhang Shenxiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and drank the wine: "Apart from you and me, who else will go with you?"

It could be seen that Zhang Shenxiu was unwilling to leave. He had concerns in his heart and only wanted a stable life.Xie Yan hesitated for a while, pushed the plate of fruit forward, frowned and sighed: "I'm afraid... I won't go with you."

"Why?" Zhang Shenxiu looked up, but didn't pinch the plate of fruit.

Xie Yan made it clear: "You know, why did I suddenly decide to come to Nanjing?"

"There is money to be made, and there are people to rely on." Zhang Shenxiu didn't even think about it, and she was angry, and she didn't want to say Chang Xi's name.

"I can make money in Songjiang, and I can rely on him, just because of this, I don't have to come to Nanjing." Xie Yan paused, showing the wry smile that Zhang Shenxiu is most familiar with: "He wants me to be under his nose." Only when he works, can he feel at ease."

Having said this clearly, what else can Zhang Shenxiu say, Xie Yan will never leave Nanjing.After thinking about it, he still asked, "Do I have to go? Can't someone else?"

Xie Yan shook his head abruptly, and looked at him solemnly: "Shu Zhou, you are the person I trust the most. At this time, you must not... must not be affectionate."

"I know." Zhang Shenxiu turned her face guiltily, and said in a very soft voice, "I'm just asking, so I won't refuse."

"Listen to me, if this business is completed, we will have more than tens of millions of dollars in our hands. I will open up the joints with the Duke, and then, you and I will no longer have to travel around for the rest of our lives." Xie Yan looked Looking at him, he was helpless: "Think about it, if you don't take risks, one day you lose this wealth, and will anyone still want to be with you?"

Zhang Shenxiu stopped talking, and at this moment Xie Yan handed him a letter, signaling him to open it: "A letter from Zhejiang."

The envelope was quite thick, he took it, glanced at the previous page hastily, and when he turned to the second page, his face suddenly changed: "Weiqing!"

"Ah." Xie Yan answered him vaguely.

Zhang Shenxiu stood up abruptly, grabbed Slanting Eyes by the collar, the strength shook him completely.

"You're working for Japanese pirates again!"

The legs of the chair were raised high, then fell with a bang, and the leaves suddenly fell from the ground.

Xie Yan stabilized the table, not daring to look at Zhang Shenxiu, hurried to the door, looked out twice, closed the door, and scolded: "Hush your voice!"

"Are you aware of being afraid at this moment?" Zhang Shenxiu stared at him, "You are afraid of shameful things!"

Hearing this, Xie Yan met his gaze: "They are Han people, not Japanese pirates."

Zhang Shenxiu was annoyed: "Plundering fishermen along the coast, smuggling and killing people, aren't they counted as Japanese pirates?"

Xie Yan changed his rhetoric, and earnestly grabbed Zhang Shenxiu's trembling hands: "Shu Zhou, what can I do, that time, their knives reached my neck!"

Suddenly, Zhang Shenxiu stopped speaking.What Xie Yan was talking about was that at the end of last year, more than a dozen businessmen in the chamber of commerce secretly went out to sea for smuggling, and were kidnapped by Japanese pirates at the pier.

After all, smuggling is a serious crime, Zhang Shenxiu didn't have the guts, so he never went with Xie Yan, but he escaped that disaster, but Xie Yan was the only survivor of what happened that day, he had no way of knowing.Later, when we went to Nanjing together, we were also in a daze, eating wine whenever we could, flattering everyone we met, making friends with some nobles and scholars, but we didn't know any other secrets.

"That time you went to sea, what happened?"

Xie Yan sighed, "I can't explain this matter in one or two sentences."

Zhang Shenxiu was displeased: "Wei Qing!"

"You must know...for the sake of years of love, don't say it...don't." Xie Yan closed his eyes, rubbed the center of his brows a few times, and said: "The caravan was deceived by Japanese pirates that day, thinking that It was a group of merchants who brought them into the port..."

Zhang Shenxiu's pimples popped out: "So—so they broke into Nanjing all the way?"

Xie Yan looked dignified, no trace of falsehood could be seen, and nodded.

"how dare you……"

"How could I have known in the first place!" Xie Yan frowned, gritted his teeth, and turned black and white: "They took money, did things for others, and let a pack of hungry wolves in. I didn't find out until they were all killed, but I can't run now!"

"Later, Duke Chang sent troops to suppress it, and I was saved. I told the truth and saved my life." Xie Yan looked listlessly at the closed doors and windows.

"Wait," Zhang Shenxiu said vigilantly, "What does this have to do with your work for them?"

"That time," Xie Yan said dejectedly, "I had dealings with them on the accounts. I was threatened by this, and I lost my head on both sides. This time, I have to do this business. Besides, they also took real money of."

"It's real money... You can't go with them!"

"I was also forced to be helpless!"

"Forced and helpless!" Zhang Shenxiu jumped up: "Then you drag me into the water? Dugong has opened the door for us in the salt transportation, how much more do you want?"

"How much do I want? I am not the only one who contributes to the salt transportation, and the money distributed to the subordinates is far more than you know! Besides, if this business is completed, why do you have to run around in the future? Why bother?" Separate from your...you, that...and him again?" Xie Yan persuaded earnestly: "Think about your big family... think about Liu Jiao."

Thinking of Liu Jiao, Zhang Shenxiu was startled.Liu Jiao...has always been extravagant, usually coaxing him, how could he not want thousands of dollars?What's more, all the outfits are decorated with East Sea pearls and South Sea cat's eyes, and the silk and satin all over the body took half a year's needlework of Suzhou and Hangzhou embroiderers to produce one.

If he struggles like this, no matter how big his family business is, he will lose it.

Besides, the family also asks him for money from time to time. His father is old and his aunt is pretty. To be hollowed out.

Seeing his hesitation, Xie Yan secretly compared a number to him: "When things are done, we will stop seeing each other. We are going to each side of the road."

Looking at those fingers, Zhang Shenxiu was suddenly dazzled, and asked in a daze, "Eighty, eighty thousand?"

"No."

"One hundred thousand?"

Xie Yan still shook his head.

Zhang Shenxiu swallowed hard: "Hundred...ten thousand?"

Xie Yan didn't speak.

"Qian... no... Weiqing..."

Having said that, Xie Yan already had a plan in mind: "There are still ten days, Shuzhou, you go back and think about it before making a decision."

Zhang Shenxiu already had the answer in his mind, but he still stammered, pretending to be very annoyed: "I know, I know."

He walked back full of thoughts, and along the way someone led him the way, and when he got out of Xie Yan's house, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his mind was full of Xie Yan's words.

After it's done, will they really be able to make their way to the sky in the future, each side going?Zhang Shenxiu didn't understand that what Xie Yan said just now was somewhat true or false, but he still believed it and silently agreed.

Xie Weiqing has always been like this, for the sake of profit, she will do everything she can.But what about himself?Isn't it because when you see a little money, you throw your life on it, regardless of the name before and after your life.
