Fast Time Travel: The Posture of the Female Supporting Counterattack

Chapter 25 The Merchant's Daughter (25)

Dajing Palace.

It was already late at night when Duan Yuhe came, and the emperor was still reviewing papers in Yuge, Duan Yuhe bowed to the emperor: "I have seen the emperor."

With a gentle smile on the emperor's face, he felt helpless when he heard Duan Yuhe's words: "Yuhe, I have told you many times, you don't need to be polite when you see me!"

From the generation of Grandpa Duan, the Duan family has held Dajing's most mysterious Black Guard in their hands. They are responsible for protection, assassination, intelligence, counter-espionage and other tasks. It can be said that there are Black Guards behind all the shady things. shadow.

If the emperor didn't trust the Duan family, how could he put his wealth and life on the Duan family.

"Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be broken, and a subject will always be a subject."

"Well, it's up to you, sit down." The emperor shook his head.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duan Yuhe sat down next to the emperor, "The clear sky found me today and asked for all the information about Beiyuan."

"So she's about to start taking action? Yuhe, how sure are you in this matter?" The emperor put away the smile on his face, and Duan Yuhe proposed to use the Lan family, especially Lan Xi, to find Beiyuan craftsmen. , he felt a little strange.

There is no doubt that the Lan family is a good businessman, but it is unbelievable that the Lan family is still a female class, and the craftsmen from Beiyuan are recruited. At present, there is no effective way, only a dead horse can be used as a living horse doctor .

"Your Majesty, regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, at least now I can let go of the investigation of the spies. Xi Yao will never think that we will let a woman come forward to do this."

Duan Yuhe still kept his hand and did not disclose all the information in his hands. Lan Xi's eldest brother and two control all the business of the Lan family. Lan Xi would be involved in every decision. If he reported the truth now, it would inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Smart people, especially smart women, have always had bad endings. It is time to employ people, and no one is more suitable for this job than Lan Xi. It would be a pity if Lan Xi died before this matter was over. up.

"I'm here today, and I have one more thing to report to you."

"Oh, what else?" the emperor asked.

"I have promised Lan Xi that everything can be done cheaply within half a year, so please, Your Majesty, please tell those who want to get involved in the Lan family's business, not to make any moves."

"I will tell you to go on, and you can't relax at the Lan family." Duan Yuhe reacted as soon as Duan Yuhe opened his mouth. What does this emperor do? Without him speaking, who dares to take over the Lan family's property, even if he wants to swallow the Lan family, he can only be an emperor.

"I understand."

at the same time.

Lan Xi was flipping through the dossier Qingkong brought from Duan Yuhe. The information about Beiyuan recorded in the dossier was only a few pages longer than what she had collected.

These few pages record the time, quantity, and category details of each Beiyuan transaction or barter.

After reading these files, Lan Xi understood. No wonder Duan and Hehui were in such a hurry. Of the dozens of transactions with Beiyuan, as many as eight were with Xiyao, while the number of transactions with Dajing was only three times. .

Doing business is similar to falling in love. The more you come and go, the better the relationship between the two parties will continue to increase. Maybe that coincidence will lead to a relationship that will be a step closer.

Judging from the timing of the transactions, there are also regularities. There will be a huge amount of transactions in Beiyuan almost every 3-5 years, and the types of transactions are grain, cloth and other necessities of life.

Other than that, there was no other information about Beiyuan. Seeing these things, Lan Xi felt a headache. How should he do this?

To lure someone into the water, you must first find the weakness of this person. Apart from the necessities of life, there is not even alcohol on the transaction list. Are all those people in Beiyuan saints who have no desires and no desires?How can you fight without a seven-inch snake?
"Master, it's almost the third update, you'd better rest soon." Shi Mo brought a bowl of lotus seed soup to Lan Xi. Since leaving the general's mansion, the master has been holding the file in his hand and looking over it most of the time. It says She can recite everything by heart, and I really don’t know what else there is to see in these things.

Lan Xi scooped up a spoonful of lotus seed soup and put it into her mouth, then suddenly asked, "Is the moon silver going to be distributed tomorrow?"

"Hmm." Shi Mo nodded.

"Qingkong, Qingtian and Qingtian have also paid out together. The two of them have 100 taels of moon silver per month." Lan Xi ordered.

Shi Mo was taken aback when he heard Lan Xi's words: "Ah, master, do you have two of them too?"

The master has always been generous to those who follow him, and the monthly silver given out is three times more than that in other mansions. There are thick red envelopes for visiting the door during New Years and holidays. These two spies actually still have monthly silver. The sky-high price of money that ordinary people can't earn for most of their lives, you say it is irritating or not.

Seeing Shi Mo's appearance, Lan Xi was amused: "Are you envious or jealous?"

"Master, why should I be jealous, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't dare to think about the amount of money I have every month." Si Mo said stubbornly.

"Well, that's good. I originally wanted to give you a salary increase, but now it seems that it's not necessary."

"Master, I'll make your bed." Shi Mo knew that Lan Xi was teasing her. Although she didn't like Qingkong and Qingtian in her heart, she could let her come and go without a trace like the two of them. She can't even sleep on a tree. As long as these two can protect the safety of the master, 100 taels of silver is nothing in the future.

Lan Xi put down the bowl and wiped her mouth, "Tomorrow morning you and Qingtian will collect this month's debt together."

"Okay, master." Shi Mo put away the bowl and backed out.

"Clear sky."

"Master, do you have any other orders?" Qing Kong's voice came from the corner of the room.

Everyone in the capital knew that working for the Lan family was well paid, and it was more difficult to dig out gossip from the servants of the Lan family.

The high requirements of the Lan family's wages are also harsh. In addition to being innocent, there are also many restrictions, such as not having bad habits, not revealing trivial things about the Lan family, not going to the streets to drink or go to flower houses, etc. Even so, I don't know how many people crowded their heads and wanted to come to Lan's house to do business.

Qingkong did not expect that she and Qingtian would also be paid wages, 100 taels a month. Thinking about when the two of them were secret guards, they only had [-] taels of silver a month. Sure enough, poverty still limited her imagination.

"Tomorrow, you go to the Duke's Mansion again and ask for a list of people involved in the transaction between Dajing and Beiyuan. Just say that I want to talk to these people. What is the content of the conversation?"
