I am a ruler in troubled times

The envoys sent by Prince Rui were eventually kicked out of the City of Rare Goods.

When Song Peiyu arrived at the Dongliang envoy's residence, it was already a mess, only the garrison with weird faces remained.

Not only did Lu Jihe have the envoys of Dongliang thrown out of the strange goods city, but he also wrote a gorgeous but full of sarcasm article on the spot and threw it in the faces of the envoys of Dongliang, asking them to take it back to Prince Rui of Liangzhou .

The Dongliang envoys were full of humiliation, but they had no choice but to put away the article.

Because they understood that Prince Rui's anger was concentrated on the Rare Goods City, so they could be dealt with lightly.

Song Peiyu heard the content of Lu Jihe's article from the mouth of the garrison.

Before throwing the paper full of handwriting on the faces of the Dongliang envoys, Lu Jihe asked Chunya to read the article aloud in public.

Garrison can remember the content of the article, not because of his good memory, but because Lu Jihe's article... is so memorable.

First, he ridiculed Prince Rui of Liangzhou as a poor man who couldn't even get 500 taels of gold.

He also told King Rui of Liangzhou that Qihuo City had given him a chance, but he didn't grasp it, and even tried to replace the fake with the truth, and beat Qihuo City back.

I don't even think about where the strange goods city is. How could it be possible to make brass ingots for a mere 500 taels of gold?

In the end, he told Prince Rui that because of his rogue behavior, Qihuo City planned to send the Dongliang military prisoners to the official mine for five years.

After five years, those captives will be released back.

Seeing the enraged Lu Jihe, the envoy of Dongliang discovered that after the gold had turned into brass, his mind, which was so angry and anxious that it was not clear, finally started to work again.

They suddenly realized that since they woke up from a coma and found that the 500 taels of gold had turned into brass, it meant that they had failed this errand.

It is their worst decision to make things big in a hurry.

No, this is a conspiracy by Odd Cargo City, and they cannot avoid it.

From today onwards, the wealthy merchants in the Odd Goods City will all know that Prince Rui of Liangzhou is an untrustworthy villain who uses brass instead of gold.

When these wealthy businessmen return to their own countries, this matter will be known to more people.

The envoys of Dongliang, who believed that it was the ghost of the Qihuo City, stopped making trouble, took the letter from Lu Jihe and left Qihuo City with a face full of humiliation, and hurried back to Liangzhou.

By the time Song Peiyu rushed to the city gate again, it was too late. Not only did the envoys of Dongliang disappear, but Lu Jihe also left long ago.

Song Peiyu wasted no time again.

The jokes made by the envoys of Dongliang spread throughout Qihuo City as quickly as possible, and the wealthy businessmen who originally planned to go to Liangzhou also changed their minds because of this.

Or stay in Qihuo City for a few more days, wanting to see the follow-up development of the matter before making a decision.

Or directly change the original plan and go to other places.

They are businessmen, and it has long been instinctive to seek good fortune and avoid harm.

Who knows if Prince Rui finds out that there is nothing he can do about it, will he use these merchants who have close contacts with the strange goods city as a punching bag.

Hearing what Shengwang said about the reaction of the merchants in the city to this incident, Song Peiyu smiled and didn't take it too seriously.

He is more concerned about the Liangzhou merchants who are locked in the dungeon, to be precise, the Dongliang merchants.

In the investigation of Commander Weiwei, the Mu clan and the Dongliang businessman were most involved.

In contrast, the members of the Mu clan were more involved, but easier to investigate.

This person came to Yu County after Song Peiyu and Chong Yi returned to Xianyang last year, and Murong Jing, who was in Yu County, also returned to Xianyang.

After the news of Concubine Zhuo's restoration came from Xianyang, Commander Wei Wei met people from the Mu clan by 'accident', and their contacts gradually increased.

During this period, the members of the Mu clan promised many things to Commander Weiwei, which also proved that he can influence the descendants of the Mu clan who are far away in Xianyang.

Commander Wei Wei half-pushed and stepped down, and took the initiative to reveal many secrets to the Mu clan.

The members of the Mu clan reciprocated, and also said many things that should not be said to Commander Wei Wei.

The two tacitly used this method to deepen their connection with each other.

After all, Commander Weiwei is the official of the third rank of the imperial court, and Song Peiyu can forcibly put him under house arrest with the help of the East Palace Order. Before Xianyang's order comes, interrogating Commander Weiwei will inevitably leave a clue.

Therefore, Song Peiyu only arrested and interrogated all the cronies of Commander Wei Wei, and then put other people involved in it under house arrest.

It's a pity that the news that those cronies know is limited, Song Peiyu still doesn't know the whole process of Wei Wei's communication with the Mu clan.

Fortunately, members of the Mu clan are also 'guests' in Qihuo City.

After arranging Commander Weiwei and members of the Mu clan to be neighbors in a house separated only by iron bars, and then asking the people who served them to tell the two of them every day who came to the Qihuo City as a 'guest', Song Peiyu could There is a good harvest.

Judging from the current situation, it is very hopeful that before Xianyang's decree arrives, the intersection of Commander Weiwei and the Mu clan will be clear.

The Dongliang businessman is Song Peiyu, who was attacked by bandits and returned to Yu County. He asked Wei Wei and Zuo Tongzhi to investigate the safety between Qihuo City and Weiwei. , Those bandits confessed that their news came from Weiguo businessmen who had settled in Yu County.

This Weiguo businessman is actually a Dongliang businessman.

Or to put it more bluntly, it was a secret work sent by Prince Rui to the Zhao country to collect news from the Zhao country and send it back to Dongliang.

After catching the Dongliang businessman, Song Peiyu immediately sent people to a nearby official mine to find a dead slave who had a sextant resemblance to the Dongliang businessman.

Yinbao dressed the dead slave so that it resembled the Dongliang merchant, and then poisoned the slave in front of the Liangzhou merchant. Taking advantage of the dead slave's numbness but not dying, he tortured the dead slave He even had moles on the body of the dead slave that were exactly the same as those of the Dongliang businessman.

When the death slave died completely, Yin Bao glanced at the Dongliang businessman hiding in the most corner of the prison with a livid face, and said to the guard beside him, "Throw Wang Hai to the mass grave."

The Dongliang businessman who hugged him silently shuddered.

Wang Hai is the name he walks in Yu County.

Zhao Guoren What does this mean?

It's a pity that Yinbao didn't try to solve Wang Hai's confusion at all. He stood there meaningfully and looked at Wang Hai for a long time, then turned and left.

From then on, until he was taken to Qihuo City, Wang Hai never saw anyone who specifically interrogated him.

There is only one bowl of water and three bowls of half-cooked beans every day, and even the food delivery person can't speak to Wang Hai.

At the beginning, Wang Hai was just worried, but as time went by, he even had the illusion that the person who died in front of him that day was himself.

Under tremendous psychological pressure, Wang Hai took the initiative to beg his guard for three days, and at the moment of complete despair, he saw Yinbao again.

Yinbao didn't waste much effort, and learned from Wang Haikou the whole process of his coming to Zhao from Dongliang.

Wang Hai was originally a traveling merchant, he was somewhat related to the housekeeper of Prince Rui's residence, but he had almost no contact in the early years.

It wasn't until after he became rich that he wanted to go further and deliberately went to build a relationship with the housekeeper of Prince Rui's Mansion, Wang Hai and his distant relative didn't really get close.

From then on, when Wang Hai went to various places to do business, he would deliberately bribe local officials with gold and silver, collect various information and send it back to Dongliang, in exchange for Prince Rui's trust and rewards.

In just a few years, Wang Hai's wealth has multiplied dozens of times.

Not long after the completion of the Qihuo City, Wang Hai received a new order from Prince Rui's Mansion, asking him to pretend to be a merchant from the Kingdom of Wei, go to Yu County to settle down, and find a way to collect news from the Kingdom of Zhao and send it back to Dongliang.

Wang Hai has no way to reject Prince Rui's House, even if deep down he is unwilling to take this risk, he still has to obey the arrangement of Prince Rui's House.

He first went to Weiguo to stay for a while to confirm his identity as a businessman in Weiguo, then passed through Qihuo City, and then went to Yu County.

I have to say that Wang Hai is lucky. When he goes to different countries to collect information, he will appear in front of the public with different identities.

Wang Hai had been to Zhao State to collect information before, and he also used the identity of a Wei State businessman at that time, so the process of settling in Yu County was very smooth.

After Wang Hai settled down, Murong Jing had already left Yu County, and the original forces in Yu County were competing with the forces left by Murong Jing. Make a relationship.

"Then Commander Weiwei made that trash go round and round by Wang Hai, and six or seven of Weiwei's ten low-level officers could be involved?" Lu Jihe slapped the handwritten paper on the table, He reached for the medicine bottle on his sleeve.

Yin Bao nodded silently.

After Wang Hai received a different view from Wei Wei's commander, it was as easy as drinking water to get close to the officers belonging to Wei Wei's original forces.After all, no one will feel that money bites their hands.

And they all held the command to make themselves do something cheap for Wang Hai, so how could they blame us for it. ' Thoughts.

Song Peiyu reached out and tapped twice on the paper covered with handwriting on the table, "Is there anyone left behind by Murong Jing?"

"Yes, but the number is much smaller than Wei Wei's officers." Yin Bao replied in a low voice.

Song Peiyu nodded, but felt relieved.

If there is nothing wrong with the people left behind by Murong Jing, he still has to wonder if Wang Hai hasn't been persecuted enough, so that Wang Hai still has the guts to lie.

He held the densely packed paper with names in his hand, and looked at the paper below.

There are only three lines of words on this piece of paper, and a name, but the content is more blood pressure than the piece of paper full of names.

Yuxian Dianshi is also a member of King Rui of Liangzhou.

Fortunately, when Song Peiyu attacked Wei Wei's commander, he never let the people in the county government of Yu County intervene, and all the movements were kept in Wei Wei.

Because Murong Jing used to sit here, the county magistrate of Yu County always couldn't hold back when facing Wei Wei.After he tried it twice, seeing Song Peiyu's firm attitude, he no longer persisted in understanding Wei Wei's changes.

Later, the commander of Weiwei and members of the Mu clan were placed under house arrest, and even Wang Hai, a businessman from Dongliang, was taken to Qihuo City for interrogation.

Lu Jihe leaned back on the chair with no expression on his face, let Chun Ya put the forehead mop on his head honestly, and said weakly, "If you hadn't sent a message to General Murong in time, let General Murong After counting the soldiers, stay in Mo County first, don't rush to Yu County, I am afraid that the news of Zhao Guo's mobilization of soldiers and horses has already spread throughout the nine kingdoms."

At this time, a large number of soldiers and horses were suddenly mobilized, and any fool knew what was going on.

Besides, Prince Rui is not stupid, otherwise he would not have made Yu County like a sieve in a short period of time.Even if he is stupid, his subordinates and staff will not all be stupid.

Prince Rui could not prevent Zhao Guo from sending troops to defend the country, but he was able to rob Zhao Guo's good fat together with others.

Song Peiyu shook her head slowly, not complacent about it.

It is a good thing to find out now that Wei Wei Dianshi is the person of Prince Rui of Liangzhou.

Song Peiyu was thinking about how to make the most of this news.

Let people go to the gate of Jiexian County in Liangzhou to yell and scold, and frequently provoke Prince Rui of Liangzhou.

Apart from wanting to take revenge on Prince Rui of Liangzhou for sending someone to snatch the Qianjin Mirror, he even planned to attack Song Peiyu and take Song Peiyu away as well.

It was also because they wanted to confuse the Wei people by taking advantage of their long-standing conflict with Prince Rui of Liangzhou.

If we can make good use of the canon history of Yu County, we might be able to lead the matter of Murong Jing's deployment of troops to King Rui of Liangzhou, but we can't really force King Rui of Liangzhou to the point of dispatching troops and fighting with Zhao Guo regardless .

It is really difficult to grasp the proportion.

Because there are other arrangements for the canon history of Yu County, Song Peiyu only asked Wei Wei's list to be sent to Jiang Tongzhi.

Let Jiang Tongzhi not rush to investigate, so as not to cause panic and unnecessary twists and turns.

Just send someone to quietly watch those people, and don't let them make trouble before Murong Jing arrives in Yu County.

As for the canon history of Yu County... also keep an eye on it first, and don't rush to deal with it.

Song Peiyu and Monk Lu Ji can hold on here, waiting for the best time.

Master Dong on the other side couldn't bear it anymore, not only sent people to find Taojiao and Suyue who were in Song Peiyu's courtyard every day, but also ran to the Eighth Prince every day.

In addition to encouraging the eighth prince to dream of being an emperor, he also urged the eighth prince to invite Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe.

After Prince Rui of Liangzhou sent someone to send a reply letter to Qihuo City.

Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe only paid attention to Mr. Dong.

Mr. Dong was very eager, completely different from his calmness when he first arrived in Qihuo City.

Informed him to come to discuss matters at three o'clock, and he arrived at the main hall as soon as he arrived, his forehead was covered with fine sweat stains, shining under the hot sun, which showed how hurried he was.

People outside didn't dare to stop Mr. Dong, but Jin Bao didn't have such worries. He strode out of the gazebo and blocked Mr. Dong right in front of Song Peiyu's door.

"Why did Mr. Dong come in such a hurry, but the person who reported the letter said the wrong time?" Jin Bao had already calmly blocked Mr. Dong while speaking, and even took out the clean handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Mr. Dong.

Master Dong didn't take Jin Bao's handkerchief, and directly wiped it on his forehead with his sleeve.

He looked at Song Peiyu's door through Jin Bao's shoulder, without hiding the eagerness in his eyes.

Seeing that Jin Bao didn't move away or come in to report, Mr. Dong immediately took out a pouch from his sleeve and stuffed it into Jin Bao's hand, and said in a low voice, "The person who reported the letter told me it was three quarters before the end of the day, but I have some embarrassment and want to go ahead." Tell Mr. Song, is Mr. Lu still here? Please pass it on to me."

Jin Bao quietly weighed the weight of the purse and the shape of the contents.

It doesn't look like a gold and silver nude, but it looks like a gem, and it's not small.

After Mr. Dong discovered Jin Bao's secret actions, contempt flashed in his drooping triangular eyes, but without saying a word, he also tore off the koi jade pendant from his waist, and stuffed it into Jin Bao's hands.

Jin Bao did not refuse anyone who came, but he still did not let go. He smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go in and see if the master is awake. Or you can wait in the flower hall first, and the master will see you after a short rest." ?”

Master Dong came straight to Song Peiyu's room, originally to save time, how could he agree to wait in the flower hall?

He insisted on waiting at the door, and deliberately stood in the sunniest place.

Fortunately, his dedication was not in vain, Jin Bao quickly opened the curtain with a smile on his face, and let Master Dong go in.

After standing in the sun for a long time, when he entered the room, he suddenly felt the cold air coming towards him, Master Dong shivered subconsciously.

Song Peiyu was sitting on the kang table waiting for him, Jin Bao didn't back out, and stood beside Song Peiyu, packing things quickly with his hands and feet.

Master Dong greeted Song Peiyu, and glanced at Jinbao quietly, and found that Jinbao was putting gold ingots into the box.

The gold ingots were not the usual weight of one tael, two taels, five taels, or ten taels, but it looked like three taels, and the two corners were quite sharp.Judging by the size of the box, it should be about 500 taels in total.

Master Dong's eyes suddenly flashed.

Although there is no difference in the length of gold in each country, the gold ingots refined by each country have more or less unique characteristics.

For example, the gold ingots in Liangzhou are rare in threes and twos, and the two corners are also sharper than gold ingots in other countries.

At this delicate time, no more than 500 taels of gold suddenly appeared in Song Peiyu's room, and they were all the standard only in Liangzhou.

It's hard for Mr. Dong not to think too much.

When Song Peiyu noticed Master Dong's gaze, the smile on his face froze suddenly, and he scolded, "Why don't you be quicker and serve tea to Master Dong?"

Jin Bao was reprimanded by Song Peiyu for no reason, and looked up blankly, but he didn't find any clues, but he didn't dare to express his grievances, so he could only speed up his movements silently.

Song Peiyu's gaze had already moved away from Jin Bao, and he explained to Master Dong, "I wanted to take this time to take a nap, but I really didn't feel sleepy, so I asked someone to take an inventory of the account books from the previous few days."

Master Dong doesn't believe it, who needs the master to count the money himself?

And since it is an account book, what about the most important account book?

Even if Jin Bao had put away the account books before he entered, at least the brush holder and inkstone would be left behind.

But there was nothing on the table.

Song Peiyu clearly took advantage of no one, secretly... secretly counting ingots?

Thinking of the appearance of Lu Jihe who was so enraged by the envoys of Dongliang that day that he rushed out of the door, the smile on the corner of Mr. Dong's mouth became more sincere.

He was worried about Taojiao and Suyue, two unworthy things, and he couldn't find any useful news.

Unexpectedly, he just met Song Peiyu, and discovered Song Peiyu's unknown hobbies and secrets.

Yin Bao came in through the curtain and served tea to Song Peiyu and Master Dong respectively.

Jin Bao quickly locked the box, and looked at Song Peiyu hesitantly.

Song Peiyu tapped her foot almost invisible.

Jinbao immediately moved the locked box to Song Peiyu's feet, handed over the key to Song Peiyu, and then left with Yinbao.

Song Peiyu stepped on the box containing the gold ingots, put the key into her purse, and then restored the calm and gentle smile on her face.

Master Dong, who had a panoramic view of everything, felt that Song Peiyu was nothing more than that at the beginning, but now he secretly laughed at Song Peiyu in his heart.

With so many lucrative deals and [-]% of the proceeds from the Rare Cargo City, Song Peiyu will never be short of money.Why is it that for these external things, the slightest bit of reservedness of the family is ignored.

Sure enough, it was something born by a concubine, and after all, it is difficult to become grand.

Mr. Dong was thinking about something, and there was some emotion in his eyes, but he didn't notice it. Instead, he looked at Song Peiyu beggingly, waiting for Song Peiyu to ask him.

Soong Peiyu pretended not to see Master Dong's clumsy disguise, and followed Master Dong's thoughts understandingly, "Why is Master Dong so embarrassed, but why are you worrying about something?"

Master Dong lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I want to ask Master Song for something."

"Huh?" Song Peiyu picked up the teacup, and wanted to look at the light green tea soup inside to wash his eyes, but suddenly thought of another light green thing, and immediately lost the intention to continue passing the ladder to Mr. Dong.

The already not warm atmosphere in the room froze completely.

After all, Mr. Dong, who still needs something from others, couldn't hold back his anger, "I want to ask Mr. Song to help my emperor solve the hidden danger. After the matter is completed, my emperor will definitely thank you."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Song Peiyu was so choked that she grabbed the corner of the table and coughed violently.

Mr. Dong didn't expect Song Peiyu to have such a reaction, and the aura of being overwhelmed suddenly dissipated.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Mr. Dong was about to pat him on the back, but Song Peiyu quietly avoided it by putting the teacup back on the table.

He looked at Mr. Dong in surprise, "What did you... just say?"

Master Dong's eyes flickered, and he repeated what he said just now, but his momentum was sapped for no reason, showing a guilty conscience that he didn't realize.

Song Peiyu gave Mr. Dong a cross in his heart, where did he come from, and it turned out to be empty? !

He shouldn't have been led away by Lu Jihe, and he should have suspected the truth of the fact that Mr. Dong is the new Weihuang's brother-in-law.

If it wasn't for Wei Huang's brother-in-law, how could he be the chief ambassador with such a mental capacity.

Master Dong was confused, and Song Peiyu could only follow him. He pressed the position three inches below his wrist, silently counted three numbers in his heart, and whispered, "You mean to kill the Eighth Prince..."

Song Peiyu made a gesture of wiping her neck.

This is the method Chong Yi taught Song Peiyu, as long as you pinch this position, your face can turn pale quickly, but unfortunately it only lasts for a few breaths, and it doesn't work every time.

It is enough to deal with Mr. Dong.

Sure enough, after seeing that Song Peiyu was more panicked than him, Master Dong quickly recovered. He nodded and began to complain to Song Peiyu, "I also know that this is not fair to King Shou, but the current situation of Weiguo can no longer bear it." Live any turmoil."

Song Peiyu leaned on the soft cushion, coordinating with Master Dong's clumsy acting in a bored way.

"Since the death of the regent and the Hussar General, Wei Jing has fallen into unprecedented chaos. If His Majesty hadn't stepped forward at the most critical moment, Wei Jing doesn't know how long Wei Jing would be in chaos."

"Your Majesty expended all his efforts and energy to finally stabilize Wei Jing, but it is still not worthy of the word 'blood'." Lord Dong wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and glanced at Song Peiyu quietly.

Song Peiyu showed a disappointed and unwilling expression in cooperation, staring straight at the teacup on the table.

Seeing this, Mr. Dong rubbed against Song Peiyu again, wishing he could cross the table and whisper into Song Peiyu's ear, "Your Majesty named the Eighth Prince as Longevity King, but the adults in the court are still unwilling to let His Majesty take the throne." Also give it to the Eighth Prince."

Speaking of this, Master Dong's heart was really angry, and his voice was more angry than before, "They are so sincerely thinking about the Eighth Prince, why has no one ever mentioned to welcome the Eighth Prince before His Majesty remembered the Eighth Prince?" Still heading?"

"Brother-in-law cares most about loyalty, and he also agrees to give up the throne to the eighth prince, but he can't just think about himself, he must also think about his sisters and nephews, and those who helped him put down the rebellion. Since ancient times, he has been on the throne and lost it What good will happen to the person with him? Even the people around him, most of them have no bones left."

"Besides, the eighth prince has no ability to govern the country, and it will cause chaos in Weijing. If he returns to Weiguo, won't everyone pay countless costs for their efforts, and it will be wasted overnight!"

……

Song Peiyu half-lidded her eyelids to cover the look in her eyes, and quickly analyzed Master Dong's words.

Except for a few places where the logic is worrying and inconsistent, most of the language has been carefully crafted.

Most of the time, Mr. Dong's reaction was in line with the language, but occasionally his reaction was very rigid, probably because he was reminded when to show what kind of expression.

It's a pity that not only did she fail to comprehend it, but she also forgot the words on the spot and played it casually, so that...Song Peiyu had to half-close her eyes to listen.

In short, the Eighth Prince must not return to the Kingdom of Wei, but it cannot be done by the people of the Kingdom of Wei, so Lord Dong begged Song Peiyu, and promised that after the matter was completed, Emperor Wei would definitely reward Song Peiyu generously.

After Master Dong finished speaking, Song Peiyu immediately raised his eyelids and said seriously, "This is a matter for your Wei country. As long as you don't deal with it within the territory of Zhao State, I will just pretend that I haven't heard these words. Master Dong will leave first. Well, Lu Jihe is coming soon."

Master Dong got up, but did not leave according to Song Peiyu's words, but knelt in front of Song Peiyu, held up his facial features that were almost wrinkled, and begged, "Please help us, it's just a matter of raising your hand for you, But it can save many people in Weiguo from being displaced. No matter what the superiors are, these people are always innocent."

Song Peiyu squeezed her palms and turned her head to look away.

Someone gave Master Dong a lesson in advance.

Lu Jihe also helped him press the questions yesterday.

"It's all about life and death. They were born in Weiguo and Weijing. This is their fate."

After saying that, Song Peiyu wanted to get up to see off the guests, but Master Dong hugged her legs tightly.

"Master Song! Your Majesty is willing to give you the gold mine in Tong County!"

Song Peiyu turned her head to look at Mr. Dong. Although she didn't speak, anyone who looked at her looked excited.

After a long while, Song Peiyu suddenly sneered, "The gold mine is in Tong County, how can you give it to me? Could it be that I move to Weiguo?"

"You can send people to mine, or I will personally escort the ore to Qihuo City every year." Mr. Dong said without thinking, obviously well prepared.

Unfortunately, Song Peiyu finally shook her head firmly and called Jin Bao and Yin Bao to come in.

Master Dong could only let go of his hands unwillingly.

When he faced Song Peiyu alone, his attitude could be as low as dust, but he couldn't be so shameless in the presence of other people.

When Master Dong's figure disappeared completely, Song Peiyu immediately took off his robe and threw it on the ground, frowning and whispering, "Go and tell Lu Jihe that when Master Dong talks about welcoming the Eighth Prince back to the Kingdom of Wei, we will The price is set above the bottom line of the envoys of the defending country."

The Eighth Prince must not be allowed to return to the Kingdom of Wei easily.

Judging from the attitude of the new emperor of the state of Wei towards the eighth prince and the means of dealing with the eighth prince, he is by no means an idle person, and he must not be given the opportunity to deal with the eighth prince to completely stabilize the state of Wei.

No matter how extravagant Mr. Dong said, he could only fool a fool.

Mr. Dong didn't do anything to the Eighth Prince immediately, except that the palace protected the Eighth Prince tightly, and the Eighth Prince stopped eating or drinking when he saw Mr. Dong approaching, it was also because Mr. Dong didn't dare to gamble.

Mr. Dong dare not have anything to do with the murder of the Eighth Prince.

At the same time as receiving the reply letter from King Rui of Liangzhou, Song Peiyu also received the news from Weiguo.

Wei Jing is now controlled by two major forces.

One of them is the new emperor of Weiguo, and the other is Da Sikong.

The reason why the new emperor of Wei was able to win the game and ascend to the throne was due to his great-great-grandmother, who was the aunt of the old emperor of Wei.

After the royal family of the Wei State was basically reunited in the imperial tomb, he licked his face and said that he had the same blood as the royal family of the Wei State, so that he could get more people's support.

Da Sikong, who did not have the royal blood of the Wei Kingdom, set his sights on the Eighth Prince who was far away in the Zhao Kingdom.

I don't have royal blood and I can't compete with you, but I can find someone who is more qualified than you to be superior by blood.

If it wasn't for Da Sikong's pressing step by step, how could Emperor Wei take the initiative to welcome the eighth prince back and plant hidden dangers for himself.

Now Emperor Wei is afraid that the eighth prince will return to Weijing and be pushed to the throne by Da Sima to replace him.

And he didn't dare to let the envoy directly kill the eighth prince, he couldn't be tainted by the crime of killing the eighth prince, so Emperor Wei had to find someone who could take the blame.

After this person kills the Eighth Prince, even if he doesn't tell the world that he killed the Eighth Prince, he still has the courage to leave iron-clad evidence to let the world know that the Eighth Prince's death is related to him.

After observing the strange goods city for a long time, Mr. Dong set his sights on Song Peiyu.With Song Peiyu's background and status, the crime of murdering the Eighth Prince was completely posing no threat to him.

Lu Jihe can do the same thing.

But judging from the matter between Qihuo City and Prince Rui of Liangzhou, Lu Jihe's temper was too irritable, and he didn't give anyone a chance to settle things down.

The most important thing is that Lu Jihe's appearance of making a fuss is too scary, and Wei Huang, who is walking on eggshells in Weijing, must not be able to bear it.

On the contrary, Song Peiyu not only had a milder temper, but was also caught by Mr. Dong as a 'handle' and 'weakness'.

Beside him are Taojiao and Suyue who are not very favored, but managed to get in anyway.

So, Song Peiyu immediately became the best candidate in Master Dong's eyes.

Song Peiyu guessed that Mr. Dong came to him early on purpose, and the original idea was just to test whether he was easy to buy.

If he finds that he is as elusive as Lu Jihe, he will settle for the next best thing and focus on people like Sheng Wang, the commander of the Qihuo city garrison, and the deputy commander of Wei Wei.

There is no need for a specific person to take the blame for Emperor Wei, as long as the merchants in the Qihuo City believe that it was Zhao Guo's attack or the omission of the City Lord's Mansion, the news will naturally spread in the shortest possible time.

In addition, the envoys sent by Wei Guo are not only Mr. Dong, but there must also be people from Da Sikong. As long as the people of Da Sikong don't get caught by Mr. Dong, Emperor Wei will accept it.

When the time comes, Emperor Wei will only need to splash ink and swipe his pen to give the Eighth Prince the title of emperor or prince, or even be stingy and only willing to add the title of prince. He can't find any fault with the people he handles.

Emperor Wei's greatest crisis was over.

Just now, Mr. Dong seemed to be begging Song Peiyu with every word, but he had dug a big hole for Song Peiyu in secret.

If Song Peiyu had the idea of ​​holding the eighth prince in his palm because of the importance that Emperor Wei attached to him, in order to threaten Wei Huang and Da Sikong, and seek profit in the country of Wei, he would just step into the trap set by Wei Huang.

Da Sikong wanted the Eighth Prince to go back because he wanted to use the Eighth Prince to deal with Emperor Wei, rather than agreeing with the Eighth Prince to become the emperor from the bottom of his heart.

When someone wants to use the Eighth Prince as a threat to harm Da Sikong's interests, Da Sikong will abandon the Eighth Prince without hesitation.

It is not even ruled out that under the threat of Zhao Guo, Wei Huang and Da Sikong were relieved with tears, and joined hands to fight against foreign enemies, finally stabilizing Wei Guo completely.

If things really developed to that extent, Zhao Guo became the second famous joke in Kyushu after Yan Guo 20 years ago.

Judging from the current situation, as long as Lu Jihe asks for the redemption money of the Eighth Prince above the bottom line of the envoys of the State of Wei, and keeps the Eighth Prince in Zhao State, Master Dong can only ask Song Peiyu for his share.

The redemption silver that Lu Jihe asked for was above the bottom line of the envoys of the State of Wei, about [-]% more. It would not make Zhao Guo a joke for Da Sikong and Emperor Wei to settle their suspicions, but also stimulate Weihuang and Da Sikong of the State of Wei keep it up.

Da Sikong of the State of Wei would certainly not mind adding a little more money, so he could take the Eighth Prince back as soon as possible, overthrow the Emperor Wei, and coerce the Emperor to order the princes.

Emperor Wei would not mind adding a little more money to solve the eighth prince's confidant problem forever, and completely secure the throne of Weiguo.

Song Peiyu just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

See which fish is willing to take the bait, and take the initiative to open the gate of Yi County for Zhao Guo.

Lu Jihe was still so unreasonable, first he demanded a lot of price, the sky-high price he offered not only frightened the eighth prince, but also made the envoys of the state of Wei embarrassed.

After the envoys of the State of Wei lost their senses, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe easily got out of the bottom line.

Lu Jihe reluctantly begged the envoys of the State of Wei to lower the price, and finally asked for 20 taels of gold, and refused to retreat at all.

Song Peiyu lowered his head and sipped his tea, secretly thinking that Lu Jihe's sense of proportion was excellent.

He estimated that Weiguo Chaotang had prepared about 15 taels of gold to redeem the Eighth Prince.

20 taels of gold is one-third more than the bottom line of the envoy of the state of Wei.

It sounds like a lot of difference, but this was the first negotiation, which left room for the envoys of the Wei Kingdom to continue bargaining and renege on their debts by various means.

Among the envoys of the State of Wei, neither the Emperor Wei nor the Grand Sikong of the State of Wei would give up easily.

After sending away the bewildered Eighth Prince and the envoys of the Wei Kingdom who had their own concerns, Song Peiyu took out the letter from King Rui of Liangzhou and asked Lu Jihe to write a reply.

Lu Jihe refused, he shook his head expressionlessly.

Since his external image has become more and more irritable and irritable, Lu Jihe has cultivated himself in private, and he has never seen the aggressiveness he had in the early years.

And Lu Jihe has a very clear understanding of himself.

"I'll write back to him again, and he may directly summon soldiers and horses to call over overnight."

Chun Ya and Jin Bao in the corner immediately lowered their heads, and their shoulders trembled suspiciously a few times.

Song Peiyu couldn't help but smile too.

Lu Jihe's mouth... indeed has this ability.

Since Lu Jihe was unwilling, Song Peiyu did not force him.

Prince Rui of Liangzhou expressed very calmly in this letter that he was completely unaware of the fact that the gold from the Dongliang envoys from the Qihuo City had been turned into brass, and was very surprised.

Then he skipped this matter directly, saying that he was willing to pay another 500 taels of gold to redeem the Dongliang Army who was still in Qihuo City.

But this time, the Dongliang envoys will not enter the strange goods city again.

Prince Rui hoped that the city of rare goods could verify the gold outside the city, and then immediately send the prisoners out of the city.

This is a depressing and embarrassing letter.

Song Peiyu tilted her head and thought for a while, she readily agreed to Prince Rui's proposal of Liangzhou, and implicitly said that Prince Rui's letter came just in time, and one day later, the Eastern Liang Army prisoners of war would leave for the official mine.

I hope that after Prince Rui takes Dongliang Army back, he can restrain his subordinates and stop doing things that cause people to misunderstand.

Finally, Song Peiyu apologized specifically for Lu Jihe's reckless behavior.

Standing beside Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe watched Song Peiyu write, polish, and re-copy the letter from beginning to end, and said suspiciously, "Are you deliberately mentioning me to make Prince Rui angry?"

"No." Song Peiyu shook her head solemnly, "I'm just reminding Prince Rui to send more soldiers and horses when redeeming people, and don't let the previous situation of meat buns beating dogs happen again."

Lu Jihe immediately said, "You are the one who hit, and the 500 taels of gold is with you."

Song Peiyu looked at Chong Yi who suddenly appeared behind Lu Jihe, and gave a meaningful 'hmm'.

Forget it, he doesn't care about Gouzi with its own brightness.

Lu Jihe immediately noticed the subtlety in Song Peiyu's attitude. He was about to say something more when he heard a voice behind him, "Take care of everything during the day, don't delay it until night."

Although I know that Song Peiyu can appear at any time
