Although Yin and Chen looked worthless and useless, Jiang Heng's face remained calm.

"Miss Meng, is Cui Yusheng really so important to your Meng family? Is it worth spending such a huge sum of money to save him?"

No matter how rich the Meng family is, one million taels of gold plus grain, grass and lambs still have to move their muscles no matter what.

Is it worth it to be an outsider?

Meng Xian said frankly: "You don't have to worry about this. The Cui family is also a wealthy local in Jiangnan. Not all of this money comes from my family."

Before she came to Beijing, part of the large box of banknotes specially sent by the Cui family was paid to the public account of the Meng family, and the sisters made up some more from their own private rooms, which amounted to one million taels of gold, which they could barely manage. .

As for grain and lamb, this is what she added;

The Cui family's pasture and granary are famous all over the world, and the two elders of the Cui family would certainly not have any objection to using part of it to save their son.

Jiang Heng felt entangled for the first time.

There is no doubt that this is a piece of fat meat,

One million taels of gold,

Plus grain and lamb…

It's no wonder that Yin Jiazhi and Chen Yan were excited and jealous, almost holding their heads and howling to force him to agree.

"How is it? The young marquis will definitely make a loss in this transaction." Meng Xian asked again.

Jiang Heng put his left hand into a fist and put it to his lips. He coughed lightly, his throat rolled with difficulty, and he couldn't say the word "no".

Meng Xian knew that the deal was concluded, and he was happy to give this young prince, who was respected by thousands of people, a step up.

"The Marquis of Wu'an has guarded the border for the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years. He has lived in poverty at the border and has no regrets. He has no regrets even when his body is wrapped in horse leather. His achievements are shining and his hard work is great. However, the imperial court has repeatedly deducted military pay, money and food. Thinking about it, it is really embarrassing for the young Marquis."

"This money should be regarded as a small token of the Cui family and the Meng family's dedication to serve the Hou Mansion on the battlefield and ensure the safety and contentment of the people of Zhou Dynasty."

Chen Yan was secretly speechless, this girl really dared to speak.

But think about it, if you can be the richest man in Jiangnan and have been in Jiangnan for many years, the Meng family cannot be just an ordinary wealthy family.

Speaking of this, Jiang Heng himself felt that he was being pretentious even if he refused to be reserved.

"Ms. Meng is sincere. Jiang thanked Miss Meng on behalf of all the soldiers."

Meng Xian nodded slightly and smiled calmly, her voice was soft and clear,

"Thank you so much, young Marquis, for your help. Meng Xian is waiting for good news."

.

Yin Jiazhi and Chen Yan had lunch and dinner at the Hou Mansion. It was not that they had a good relationship, but they were forced to stay by Jiang Heng to discuss how to rescue Cui Yusheng.

Yin Jiazhi was holding a toothpick in his mouth, talking and laughing freely, looking like a swinger.

"We, as a family, have never been involved in prison matters. Now we agree to save people. What are you going to do?"

Jiang Heng stared at the information in front of him that he asked his personal guards to inquire about. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Baili."

"My subordinate is here."

"You lead a team of people to visit all over the capital to collect accusations against Shen Yu. If there are any evidence or witnesses that would be better, collect them together and protect them. Remember, act quietly and don't let the news leak out."

Baili raised his hand and accepted the order: "Yes."

"Are you planning to use these to confront Duke Shen's government?" Chen Yan guessed.

Jiang Heng held the pen and made a fuss, while saying calmly: "Dali Temple is Bu Yan's territory, and Bu Yan is Shen Guogong's confidant. You can't get any benefits from head-on confrontation, you can only outsmart him."

Yin Jiazhi raised his brows and said word by word, "What do you mean by outsmarting me?"

Jiang Heng smiled solemnly and said nothing.

"What on earth do you want to do? Pang Kun, another general under Duke Shen, is in charge of the household department. Any money you want must go through his hands."

"Are you still harboring illusions about those people in the imperial court?" Jiang Heng said coldly.

Yin Jiazhi was speechless for a moment.

"Otherwise, what can we do? Is it possible that..." At this point, he propped up his chin and leaned closer, and continued in a volume that could only be heard by the three of them, "Is it possible that you don't want to rebel?"

"Rebellion is out of the question for the time being, but in terms of money, the court's three melons and two dates are enough for what we can do. It's better to find another way out as soon as possible."

Chen Yan was quick-witted and figured it out in an instant, "Do you want to lend a favor to the Meng family so that you can ride on this golden mountain in the future?"

Yin Jiazhi was simple-minded and sneered when he heard this, "I'm asking for something from you this time, so I rushed to give you money and gifts, and I said it nicely. After the thing is done, if you ask for money again, do you think I can get along with you?" Take care of you?"

Jiang Heng looked gloomy, "Why don't businessmen need to manage the government?"

"It's definitely necessary. No matter if you don't care about jail time or customs, no one can punish you."

Jiang Heng: "..."

The events of the day ended with Yin Jiazhi being kicked out of the Hou Mansion.

.

Meng Xian returned to her house in the capital. Meng Wan had already been waiting there looking around. Seeing her return, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "How is it? Did the young marquis agree?"

"I agreed, and we agreed to go to the house to discuss it in detail tomorrow."

The stone hanging in Meng Wan's heart finally fell to the ground, "How many days can he say it will take?"

Meng Xian looked serious, "My grandfather and father over there in the prison have used money, so Brother Cui will not suffer any consequences for the time being. However, this matter concerns the Duke's Palace and is backed by the Queen. Although the young Marquis is not afraid of power, he must still have to work hard to deal with it." Ichiban.”

Meng Wan sighed softly, "With the background of the Shen family, this matter will definitely not be easy. Although we are considered very wealthy in Jiangnan, there are many relatives of the emperor and nobles in the capital. Agricultural, industrial and commercial, the young Marquis must be a little bit proud of his uncle for being willing to meet you."

Meng Xian half agreed and half disagreed with this statement, "It should have been out of uncle's face at first, but later on I was tempted by the temptation of money."

"But the reason behind his temptation is not that he is greedy for money, but that the imperial court withholds military pay and the needs of the soldiers; alas. It is really not easy for the young prince to meet such an emperor and such a court."

Meng Wan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard his sister's pitiful tone and asked, "This is the first time I've heard you speak so highly of someone you've only met once. What's wrong? Do you like him?"

Meng Xian has been doing business with her father for many years, and has long since stopped showing emotions or emotions. However, the topic of men and women still made her cheeks turn a little red. "You, a sister, don't have a proper face. We just met each other once." , who do you think I am?"

"Isn't it rumored that this young prince looks like a dragon and a phoenix, extremely handsome? Hey, is he really that good-looking in person?" Meng Wan said, half curious and half joking.

Meng Xian was helpless, "Sister, have you forgotten why we came to the capital this time?"

Meng Wan: "..."

"Brother Yusheng is still in prison, why are you involved in these things?"

"So what?" Meng Wan didn't think it was important. "He is just a brother from a noble family. You are my biological sister. No one can tell which is more important."

"...I'm sleepy. Let's go back and lie down for a while." Meng Xian suddenly ran away. This kind of topic must not be discussed in depth, otherwise it will be an unreasonable disaster.

I don't know why her sister, who is young and doesn't have a husband yet, likes to watch her and her second sister so much.

Really,

Wouldn't it be better to think of ways to make more money while you have the time?
