Wang Shunu looked gentle and elegant, stroked his three-inch long beard lightly, and said with a gentle smile: "You and I have been friends for a long time, don't know when we will meet again today, if you miss it, you will regret it forever." While smiling, While pouring tea for the Xue Xun brothers, he showed an approachable attitude, which was completely different from the attitude he had high above the city tower that day.

Look at what this compliment said, it really is a scholar.Xue Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "Xue is a merchant. It would be worthwhile to get such a comment from your lord."

"Oh, in a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to call you an adult anymore." Wang Shunu sighed.

Xue Xun praised that Wang Shunu really had a channel, and he already knew that the imperial decree of Beijing's denunciation had come down.

"What is your lord talking about? There are promotions and ups and downs in the officialdom. It's normal. The whole army will fight again. My lord is civil and military, and Xue has always admired him. Please take care of yourself and don't get discouraged."

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, so what can I say. Mr. Xue, you don't need to persuade me. Everyone says that you have sinned against the officialdom. Now that the dust has settled, the old man has settled down, so it's okay to go back to the hometown and rent three or five acres. Paddy fields, also taste the days of working in the pastoral fields."

"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan, just listening to Mr. Wang's words, I can faintly hear the pastoral song in my ears."

As the two came and went, the more they talked, the more polite they became. Xue Yue couldn't help holding up his teacup to cover his uncontrollable white eyes. He was really lying to the coffin—a ghost.Just listening to the two talking, I thought they were bosom friends, who didn't know that they were beaten into bad dogs two months ago.Uncle Wang's overlord of Hangzhou City refused to let go, causing the Xue family to lose several hundred hardcovers, Xue Xun wished he could eat him raw.Xue Xun also contributed a lot to Wang Shunu's reprimand, waving the flag and shouting and beating the side drums, fanning the flames and creating dissension.

The two tried to talk politely, as if whoever opened the mouth to talk about the business first would admit defeat. In the end, Wang Shunu, who was asking for others, couldn't help it. If he had a way, why would he break the contract and stop Xue Xun and his party.

"Hey, I have been traveling in various places for many years, and I can't wait for the fallen leaves to return to their roots. I have never been attached to the official position, fame and fortune, but I can't bear to let go of the city of Hangzhou that I have guarded for more than ten years." The news has already been delivered to him, the Secretary of General Administration is well-deserved, the prince is wronging the country!Wang Shunu lamented.

"Your Majesty Wang is self-effacing. If you are reluctant, you can stay in Hangzhou. There is no rule that senior officials must return to their hometowns. If you live here, no matter who takes over as the magistrate of Hangzhou, you must ask your senior for advice." Uncle Wang In the early years, Nu rotated around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he stayed in Hangzhou for nearly ten years, and his power was deeply entrenched. He wanted to be the actual controller, and it didn't matter whether he was in the court or in the opposition.

"No, I'm old, and I still have to go back to my hometown to be safe. The young and the young are away from home and the boss is going back. I don't know if the children can still hear the old man's accent when I go back." Wang Shunu sighed three times, and his posture was very in place. : "The old man is reluctant to part with this Hangzhou city, but he can only part with it. If he can't find a good master for him, the old man's heart hurts."

Owner?Xue Xun's eyes lit up. Could it be that Wang Shunu is going to exchange his influence in Hangzhou City for something?After the heartbeat, thinking of the current situation, the light in Xue Xun's eyes went out again, and he couldn't get it off.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, the imperial court will send a new magistrate. Even if Lord Wang wants to go back to his hometown, he has to wait for the handover before leaving. You are just thinking about it." Xue Xun persuaded hypocritically. The county magistrate, but for Wang Shunu, he would rather be an official than bow down in front of his former subordinates.

Wang Shunu didn't care about Xue Xun's evasion, and said with a smile: "I always heard that Mr. Xue is self-deprecating as a businessman. Don't you be tempted by such a good deal? It's not your style to be so cautious. You are a hero who dares to refute imperial edicts." figure……"

"My lord Wang is overrated. Xue is indeed a mere merchant. He is not a hero. Don't make fun of me, lord Wang."

"Mr. Xue, you and I have known each other for a long time, Wang also advises you, if you have a place to stay, you won't lose those hundreds of subordinates."

Xue Xun shook the teacup in his hand suddenly, and Wang Shunu touched his sore spot, why Xue Xun didn't want a piece of land, he thought, he wanted to die like that, but Hangzhou couldn't do it.

"Even if Mr. Wang mentioned a flower, Xue didn't dare to ask for it. General Shan Zuo was still watching. If you have ambitions to make money, you have to spend money with your life." Why doesn't Xue Xun want this famous flower? In a prosperous town, he could not afford the price Wang Shunu wanted, nor could he bear the coercion of Shan Zuo.Xue Xun squinted at Wang Shunu, not knowing what the old guy was up to, but he also warned him to be careful, don't let the lion open his mouth and splash dirty water on him.The Xue family came from the Secretary of General Administration, and they are good at spying and assassination. Xue Xun was playing with a dagger studded with gems on his waist, and his eyes were warning.

Wang Shunu stroked his beard confidently, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xue, the old man is not a greedy person. Looking at Jiangnan, only the husband has this ability. The old man is not a temptation, and he doesn't want much..."

Wang Shunu stretched out his fingers and gestured, and said, "20 taels of silver."

20, why don't you grab it!As it was a matter of life and death for the Xue family, Xue Xun could only grit his teeth and pay 2 taels of silver, 20, which was a year's tax in Hangzhou, enough to cover the lifetime expenses of the four to five thousand members of the Xue family.Don't look at the fact that the Xue family is known as a million-dollar royal merchant, but a million refers to family property and output value, but it is impossible to come up with 5000 liquid cash, okay?

Xue Xun twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Lord Wang's tea is very good, Xue thanked you, it's getting late, so let's take my leave." Xue Xun didn't even plan to pay back the price, the goods are not what he can ask for, the money is his Can't afford it, what else to talk about.

Xue Xun made a gesture to leave, but Wang Shunu put down the teacup leisurely, Shi Shiran said: "Your Majesty intends to transfer to Beijing."

"What!" Xue Xun didn't yell out, but screamed in his heart, back to Beijing, just kidding, there is no single-left suppression here in the south of the Yangtze River, it's not overwhelming, Wang Shunu, who used to be a "loyal official" like Wang Shunu, will rebel Yes, once left alone, the whole Jiangnan will be in chaos.Not to mention the covetous Qianxiang Kingdom, they were defeated, but didn't they also defeat the imperial army before?Who can guarantee that they will not kill their carbine.

"The White Dragon Sect in Gyeonggi is rampant. It once attacked the capital, blew up the city wall and rushed into the inner city, and was beaten back by the Northwest Army temporarily transferred to guard. Now that the West Man is attacking the border, the Northwest Army is about to retreat. The capital is empty again. It is." Wang Shunu explained the cause and effect, and said: "Shan Zuo made meritorious service and returned to Beijing to be rewarded, which should be justified."

Three generations of emperors have been passed down since the founding of the country, and the imperial guards in the capital have long been corrupted. Being a royal guard of honor is a beautiful appearance. Let them kill the enemy, let alone compare with the Northwest Army, which has been fighting against the Western Man all the year round, and it is even worse than the local army. Bloody, after all, is it still possible to suppress bandits and train troops in the local area?

Now the emperor is also in a hurry to go to the doctor, so he can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. The capital is too important, and if the capital falls, the entire Daqing Dynasty will really be over.

Not daring how important the capital city is is not a reason to go to Beijing on the left side. Ximan is a serious problem, isn't Qianxiang?You can't be on high alert just because the grassland people have a history of invading the Central Plains, and relax because Qianxiang has always been a vassal state.Can't you transfer other generals?Isn't it okay to draw a lieutenant general who is good at fighting?What must be done to take away Zhenshan Taisui on the borders of various places.

Xue Xun did not make any comments on the emperor's insane behavior, and now he is sure that he and the crown prince are indeed father and son.

"White Dragon Cult? The Little White Dragon King?" Xue Xun asked back. The Little White Dragon King is currently hiding on Poyang Lake. I don't know why the names are so similar.Xue Xun can now see that the officialdom has its own communication system, even if it is controlled by the General Secretary, Xue Xun does not know that the emperor intends to transfer the leftist party to Beijing.Xue Xun knew that some bandits had attacked the capital, but he didn't know that it was organized by the White Dragon Sect.Sure enough, there is still a gap. No one in this world is a fool.

"Who knows? It might be a coincidence." Wang Shunu spread his hands and pretended to be stupid, "The word "Bailong" really has something to do with the surname Qi. The White Dragon Sect attacked the capital. Heaven prison; the Little White Dragon King also killed Qi Wei in Nanchang."

"Master Qi Wei unfortunately sacrificed his life for the country? I never heard of it." Xue Xun pretended to be surprised.

"There has been no news for so long. It makes no difference whether he is alive or not. When the Little White Dragon King occupied Nanchang, he deserved to die. If he suddenly came back to life now, Qi Guogong's mansion, which was not implicated at the beginning, will now be dragged into the water and closed. He wasted rice and grain in the sky prison, and went directly to the vegetable market." Qi Wei lost Nanchang City, and his family members were sent to prison on the spot. The government is in prison, if Qi Wei comes back to life, it will really add fuel to the fire, let's finish playing together.

Xue Xun didn't express any opinion on this, but said: "What kind of duke, minister, prince, they are all too high and high, and they are not something that Xue's family and merchants can interfere with. It's getting late, and Xue has to hurry. Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your hospitality."

"Business can't be benevolent and righteous. Mr. Xue once told me that there is no business that cannot be done in the world. The old man thinks so deeply, and I will give this sentence back to the husband. One month, I will wait for one month, if you still don't change your mind, the old man will Never force it." Wang Shunu was not a stalker either, Xue Xun repeatedly expressed that he was meaningless, but he did not force him, he let people go without hesitation, very gracious.

Xue Yue has always regarded himself as a decoration, and after listening to it for a long time, he held back his opinion and waited until he boarded the boat and returned to his own territory, before asking: "Brother, if Shan Zuo is really going to be transferred, Hangzhou is a treasure land. My Sea ships have not sailed far, we have ports and routes, and we can radiate the surrounding area, so it would not be cheap to control Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"That's why I didn't agree. We'll see if we don't go alone for a month." Xue Xun said innocently.

"But you categorically rejected Wang Shunu..."

"Wang Shunu's heart-to-heart talk must have been with me alone. Now he is asking for something from me, so his attitude is naturally low. When it is confirmed that he will be transferred to the left, he will return to his high position. Maybe he will increase the price by then. "The things in the officialdom are similar to doing business, but the packaging is a little more glamorous.

"20 pieces of soil to seal the king is not too expensive." Xue Yue, the younger brother of the local tyrant, muttered.

"You, it's not like you haven't been in the Central Plains before. This is different from the emphasis on contracts outside. Big fists are the boss. If you don't plow the city of Hangzhou, who dares to use it at ease. Wang Shunu said that the handover will be handed over, who Do you know if he has left behind?" Xue Xun rolled his eyes and said.

"Then what should we do now? Shall we send a message to the ship?" Xue Xun asked.

"Let's go, go to Nanchang, let me know for a while that is the Little White Dragon King, see if he can kill me?"
