Kuai Chuan: What to do if you madly criticize beauties who refuse to be cannon fodder

Chapter 499 The Cannon Fodder Vase in the Manipulative Article (12)

Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Lai took Xiao He to the tea house under the pretext of having something to do. The interior decoration of this tea house is exquisite and unique, and it looks like a place for refined scholars to chat and play the piano.

For a pot of tea, the cheapest one costs eight taels. Add a plate of peanuts, exactly ten taels.

It's similar to some modern luxury tea and play shops, specializing in slaughtering big grievances who don't lack money.

Jiang Lai drank his tea, then waved to the waiter.

But at the age of fourteen or fifteen, his eyebrows and eyes are still very immature. He should be just an apprentice and has been learning crafts from his master.

Xiao He approached him and said a few words to him, then stuffed a purse into his arms, and came back to ask Jiang Lai after finishing.

"Miss, why are we doing this?"

Jiang Lai continued to drink the expensive tea, speaking slowly.

"Know how to catch a mouse in a hole?"

"do not know."

"Put a fire in the hole, and the mouse will come out without any effort. At that time, as long as it blocks the exit, you can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Xiao He was ignorant, and didn't know why the lady said these things.

Suddenly the next second, there was a terrified scream from the backyard.

"Come on someone!! It's flooded!! It's flooded!! Come and put out the fire!!"

Immediately after a burst of thick smoke from the backyard, seeing this scene, the guests in the lobby rushed out one after another, and the distinguished guests in the private room upstairs were even more desperate for their lives. When they saw the thick smoke pouring in from the window, one or two got up one after another. run outside.

When they came, the side door in the backyard was where the fire broke out, so they couldn't leave. They could only go out through the main door.

Jiang Lai was already waiting outside, smiling at those people who had fled from the private room in embarrassment.

Turning around, after making sure that the people on the painting boat had a full view of those people's faces, they waved to Xiao He, and left here silently along the crowded crowd.

In the painting boat, Chu Yunci looked at the few people who came out of the teahouse one after the other, his bright red lips curled up slightly.

"Uncle Huang, it seems that my eighth younger brother has won over many people in the court behind your back."

The middle-aged man sitting across from him was dressed in a dark purple robe, and looked out with fiery eyes. He was the emperor's only younger brother, King Yongzhao.

"You brought me here today just to show me this good show?"

Chu Yunci smiled.

"Nephew dare not, inviting you here today is just to reminisce about the old days. I intend to show you a good show, but obviously God is helping me, so I don't have to do it myself."

As he spoke, Chu Yunci raised the curtain, glanced lightly at the familiar figure in the crowd, and smiled softly.

"My eighth brother is very ambitious. If you want to support him as a puppet, be careful of being backlashed in the end."

"So? Support that trash like you?"

"I don't support anyone. I'm just a bystander. No matter who becomes the emperor, if he wants to lay his mind on me, then it depends on what happens to Chu Yunxuan."

Chu Yunxuan, he wants to be emperor, yes.

But if he wants more than the throne, then let him get nothing, continue to roll back to that imperial tomb, and never think about having a bright future in his life.

King Yongzhao looked at his nephew, and his back couldn't stop getting chills.

If his legs were intact, the court would have been settled a long time ago, and it would be impossible for him to have the current seizure of the heirloom.

In terms of intelligence and strategy, my second nephew is better than anyone else, but unfortunately, he is disabled.

It is impossible for a person with a disability to inherit the country, not to mention that there are so many brothers who are coveting him before and after him.

"It's getting late, the king is going back."

"Uncle Huang, go slowly. Oh, by the way, the whereabouts of the silver for disaster relief in Hengxian County, Xifu, and the appeasement department that transported the silver are still missing. Did Your Majesty send you to find this person?"

When King Yongzhao heard this, his eyes immediately became more cautious and gloomy.

"It's true that the court can't hide all the big and small things from you."

"Heh... It's been half a month, and I saw that Uncle Huang couldn't close the case for a long time, so I helped you out, and now I've caught him, and I've asked all the questions I need to ask.

But how to deal with this person next, I think it still has to be decided by the emperor. "

Hearing this, King Yongzhao's back stiffened. He pretended to be calm, but how could he hide these changes from Chu Yunci's eyes.

"Uncle Huang, don't panic, I'm here to look for you, just to give you a chance."

"Whether this person is entrusted to His Majesty or to you depends on the performance of the emperor's uncle."

"So, today's scene was indeed beyond my expectation, and it really made Uncle Huang understand his current situation."

After three sentences, Chu Yunci put down the teacup.

"It's getting late."

"What do you want me to do? Just tell me, do I have any other options now?"

Chu Yunci smiled.

"Uncle, uncle, you are a prince and already have countless gold and silver, why are you still thinking of greedy for disaster relief silver? Tell me, if your majesty finds out about this matter... But people are not sages and sages can do nothing, your nephew Son, I am short of money recently, and I still need a soldier..."

King Yongzhao's back molars were about to be crushed.

Chu Yunci was blatantly threatening to blackmail, but he couldn't do anything about it.

All the witnesses and material evidence are in his hands. If the emperor finds out about this, he may not even be able to keep his throne.

"You and my uncle and nephew are deeply in love. Uncle Huang can still help with these things."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, it's getting late, please come back, Uncle Huang."

Jiang Lai was walking by the lake, Mrs. Taishi had already been unable to walk in the last tailor shop.

At this time, the boat by the lake slowly approached the shore, and a man in black walked out of the boat, and bowed to the river.

"Eight Imperial Concubine, my master has something to tell you, please board the boat and discuss it in detail."

Jiang Lai waved his hand.

"Who is your master? I don't know him."

The man frowned, looking embarrassed.

At this moment, the curtains of the painting boat were raised, revealing Chu Yunci's fair and charming face.

"What? I haven't seen you for a few days, so I don't know you anymore?"

When the man spoke, his voice was slow and low, and the light in his eyes was far from friendly, and even a little threatening.

With his appearance, he must be a gangster boss in modern times, the kind who will be sentenced to death if caught.

Xiao He, who had no knowledge, was so frightened that his hairs stood on end.

Of course she has never met the second prince, she only knows that the man in front of her looks very dangerous.

"Miss, let's go."

Jiang Lai patted her hand.

"You run first, I'll be behind."

Of course Xiao He didn't leave. Although she was scared, she still pointed at Chu Yunci's nose and shouted.

"You know that this is the imperial concubine and dare to be so unreasonable! Believe it or not, I ordered you to be arrested!"

The loud sound attracted the attention of many people around.

Chu Yunci's face darkened, he stared at Jiang Lai with heavy eyes, and slowly lowered the curtain to reveal only half of his face, with his thin lips parted.
