Almost as soon as Wen Hang lay down on the bed, a servant knocked on his door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"My lord, my lord, something happened."

A servant stood in front of the door and said anxiously.

"Something happened?"

Wen Hang was startled, then hurriedly climbed out of bed and went up to open the door.

"Huzi, what happened?" Wen Hang couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, Master Xiao, Master Xiao and his son are all dead." Huzi said quickly.

"Master Xiao?"

Wen Hang couldn't help but ask: "Which Mr. Xiao?"

"Sir, who else could it be, Mr. Xiao?"

Hu Zi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Of course it is Master Xiao, the minister, and his son Xiao Ziyan is also dead."

Wen Hang's heart skipped a beat, and then asked: "Who is the murderer? What happened? Have you caught him?"

Hu Zi said: "It is said that Master Xiao recruited a family minister named Zhu Jiachuan. He killed Master Xiao and his son, and then took away the bank to collect the tickets."

"Zhu Jiachuan?"

Wen Hang frowned slightly, as if he did not expect that the murderer would be a family minister recruited by Xiao Han.

When Huzi just heard the news about Xiao Han and Xiao Ziyan's death, the first thing he thought of was Su Yu, whom he had just met not long ago.

After all, Su Yu and Xiao Ziyan just had an unpleasant incident in Jiaofang Division, and Su Yu did have the motive for committing the crime.

Even if it wasn't Su Yu, it was at least possible that he paid for the murder.

However, since this matter was done by the family minister recruited by Xiao Han, it must have nothing to do with Su Yu.

Moreover, Su Yu had only joined the Zhenwu Division for a few months, so he might not be able to kill Xiao Ziyan with his own strength.

"Sir, now that Mr. Xiao is dead, his position as minister is now vacant."

Huzi chuckled and said, "This is your opportunity, sir."

Wen Hang couldn't help but was startled, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "You are thinking too simply. I am still far away from the position of minister. There may be a chance for my official position to be further improved, but absolutely

It is impossible for my official position to be promoted to the position of minister, alas, why am I telling you this, you don’t understand even after I tell you."

"oh."

Huzi scratched his head and said with a smile.

Wen Hang waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, so you should go back and rest early."

"OK."

Huzi nodded, then turned and left.

Looking at Huzi's leaving figure, Wen Hang couldn't help but have a strange light in his eyes.

The position of Minister of Rites was something he never dared to think about.

However, due to Xiao Han's death, a series of personnel changes will inevitably occur, and the position of chief executive above his head may be vacant.

This was something he didn't dare to think about in the past, but maybe it could become a reality now.

He has even begun to figure out how to move the relationship around so that he can have the opportunity to sit in the position of boss.

Just lying on the bed, Wen Hang calculated it carefully in his mind, and couldn't help but shook his head secretly:

"It's a pity that I only have more than a hundred yuan crystals in my hands at present, but there are three people competing with me for this position. These three guys have all been rooted in their respective positions for many years, and their pockets are bigger than mine.

It’s too much, and with the little money I have, there’s really no way I can win.”

"Unless I can get a thousand yuan crystals in a short time, there may be a 60% chance."

"It's just a thousand yuan crystals and a total of 20,000 taels of silver. Where can I get so much money in such a short time?"

"well"

Just when Wen Hang closed his eyes and was about to rest, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he suddenly remembered something.

"I'm so confused. Why didn't I think of such an opportunity to make money?"

"Master Su from the Hundred Households of the Zhenwu Division, isn't he going to redeem himself for the courtesan Mei Ji?"

"The reason why I quoted 20,000 yuan crystals before was because Xiao Ziyan relied on his father's status to make a big deal."

"Now that he and his father are dead, it's not up to me to decide how much ransom I offer?"

"Master Su will inevitably give me a sum of money when the time comes."

Thinking of this, Wen Hang couldn't help but look extremely excited.

Su Yu redeemed Mei Ji, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

By tomorrow, the person responsible for this matter will be someone else, and he will no longer have any chance to make money.

Now Mei Ji's body deed is still in my hands and I haven't taken it to the Ministry of Etiquette.

Thinking of this, Wen Hang hurriedly climbed out of bed, then called the coachman at home and went straight to the direction of Jiaofangsi.

When the clouds and rain in the wing suddenly stopped, Mei Ji could no longer bear the challenge and fell into a deep sleep with a slight frown on her face.

"Dong dong dong"

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows. At this time, who is still coming to visit?

The colorful and exquisite dice landed on the clone's body, but there was no way to use his spiritual sense to detect the people outside.

Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Xiangxiang."

Xiangxiang's little face turned red, and then she said quickly: "An adult from the Ministry of Etiquette said he wants to see you."

"Master from the Ministry of Etiquette?"

Su Yu couldn't help but be startled, then put his clothes on his body, got out of bed and opened the door.

When he opened the door and walked out of the yard, Wen Hang, whom he had just met not long ago, appeared in front of him again.

"Master Wen?"

Seeing Wen Hang, Su Yu couldn't help but be startled, why is this guy here?

"Haha, Mr. Su, we meet again." Wen Hang chuckled.

"Master Wen is here at this time. What's the matter?" Su Yu said.

He didn't have any objection to Wen Hang.

After all, he is just a small person serving in the Ministry of Rites, so it is naturally impossible for him to offend the son of the Minister of Rites, the most powerful person in the Ministry of Rites.

"Haha, Mr. Su, I came here again because I want to talk to Mr. Su about Meiji's redemption."

Wen Hang chuckled and said: "In my opinion, Meiji's ransom price of 400,000 taels of silver is indeed lacking in consideration."

"After I went back and thought about it carefully, I felt that one hundred thousand taels of silver should be enough for Meiji's redemption."

"I wonder if Master Su thinks Meiji's ransom price is set at 60,000 taels, is it acceptable?"

"If Mr. Su feels that this price is still a bit high, we can discuss it further."

Sixty thousand taels?

Su Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Compared with the previous redemption price of 400,000 taels, this was simply a broken bone.

But he immediately understood Wen Hang's purpose of coming to Jiaofangsi again.

Presumably, this guy already knew about the death of Xiao Han and his son.

And since Xiao Han died, he naturally no longer needed to pay Xiao Ziyan's debt, but took this opportunity to make as many friends with Su Yu as possible.

After all, in the Zhenwu Division, a man from a hundred households is already a very powerful person.

Of course, Su Yu also realized that if he came to discuss with him at this time, he might be thinking of getting a kickback.

Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "The price quoted by Mr. Su really flattered Su."

"Okay then, let's set it at sixty thousand taels of silver."

"I wonder if Mr. Wen has brought Mei Ji's body contract with him."

Wen Hang smiled and said, "I've already brought it over."

It seems that he is really well prepared.

Su Yu cursed in his heart, and then said with a smile as usual: "Master Wen, wait a moment, I will go get three thousand yuan crystals."
