Chapter 214 The Emperor Is Seriously Ill

During the trip to Rongfu, Xie Yan and Rongzhi became closer and closer.

Dozens of carats of tea were sent to Rong Mansion one after another, attracting the attention of many people.

"Forty thousand taels of silver?"

Gu Ning opened his eyes wide and hooked his fingers to make up.

What a good guy! Those dozens of cargoes of tea are just ordinary goods. It’s too much for 400 taels to sell, but when they arrive at the market, they can be increased by a hundred times! No wonder these merchants are flocking to tea!

Her cute look made the gloom in Xie Yan's eyes clear away.

"That's right." Xie Yan nodded, "Although Rongzhi gave up a lot of profits to make friends with the Mei family, he could still earn at least 10,000 taels of silver from it."

"If you pay taxes, you have to pay half of the silver. No wonder they are so rampant!" Gu Ning held his chin and said thoughtfully, "These tens of thousands of taels of silver are enough to make them take risks."

When Gu Ning said this, his eyes shone: "They aren't just satisfied with your dozens of cars of tea, right?"

Xie Yan smiled helplessly: "You can't hide anything from Ning'er."

Facing Gu Ningqing and Lingling's eyes, even if Xie Yan wanted to hide it, he had to tell the news he had obtained in the past few days.

"A dozens of carats of tea can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, so they will naturally target the thousands of acres of tea gardens in the Mei family. Rong Zhi will not mention this next time." Xie Yan smiled sarcastically, "Even Fang Chenghai has begun to inquire about the news from General Cai."

Gu Ning blinked and whispered: "Then our plan..."

"It's already ready." Xie Yan nodded, "Several powerful teams under General Cai have secretly arrived in the city. General Cai needs to refuse Fang Chenghai several times before he can completely let him put aside his suspicion."

After hearing this, Gu Ning leaned lazily on the soft collapse and whispered: "This matter can finally be resolved."

Next, it's time to work on her big business.

Gu Ning's eyes at Xie Yan changed instantly.

Her eyes made Xie Yan think of some scenes for no reason, and his ears instantly turned red.

"Ninger..."

Xie Yan's cold tone seemed a little ambiguous in the quiet study at this moment.

Gu Ning seemed to have not seen the lust in his eyes, smiled and moved closer to him.

"I heard that the snow scene in Beidu Prefecture is the most beautiful. When the matter is settled, you should accompany me to enjoy the scenery."

With Gu Ning like this, how could Xie Yan not agree to her request?

"good."

Xie Yan's tone was still indifferent, but he looked at Gu Ning's long and narrow phoenix eyes with obvious doting.

Ten days later.

Rong Zhi walked into the Fang Mansion with great strides, sat on the chair without hesitation, and drank tea in big mouthfuls.

Seeing his appearance, Fang Chenghai frowned: "I didn't tell you that if there is nothing to do, you don't have to come to the door!"

In the Northern Protectorate, his every move will be noticed by those interested. If the spies are not cleaned up and these things are sent to the emperor, he will not have any good ending!

"General Fang, why are you so worried?" Rong Zhi spread his hands without hesitation, "You and I know that as long as our plan is successful, that a large amount of silver will be sent to the capital, we will be the Dragon Master..."

"Be careful!" Fang Chenghai's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Rongzhi, this is not the place where you talk nonsense!"

Seeing Fang Chenghai being so cautious, Rong Zhi rolled his eyes and said perfunctorily: "I won't say it."

After saying that, he came to Fang Chenghai again and complimented: "With General Fang here, I will fight wherever you point! We want to be rich together!"

Rong Zhi had only silver in his eyes. Although Fang Chenghai had become accustomed to it, he was still unhappy: "Okay, just know these things and I know them. There is no need to say anything else."

Hearing this, Rong Zhi smiled proudly, lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "General, I have already done it. As long as you give me the order, I will buy a large amount of tea from him immediately!"

"Just such a big move will inevitably attract General Cai's attention." He hesitated, "You and General Cai..."

"Cai Zhuo is sinister and cunning, and he will not say it clearly no matter what!" Fang Chenghai's eyes suddenly became cold, and his tone became impatient. "I'm thinking of a way to pull him into the group. You can hold on to the Mei for the time being."

Seeing Fang Chenghai showing impatience, Rong Zhi didn't dare to say much, but muttered, "That family surnamed Mei is born in a family, and everything is very demanding and tricky. I don't want to serve him for a moment! General, you have to work harder and be sure to open up General Cai's barrier! Otherwise... even if we can get a large amount of goods from Jiangnan, we can only pile them up in our hands and cannot sell them!"

"I understand!" Fang Chenghai's face turned pale, but he could not hear what Rong Zhi said.

As Rong Zhi said, even if he was targeting the 80,000 soldiers in Cai Zhuo's hands, he would still pull Cai Zhuo into his team. What's more, if Cai Zhuo could participate, their actions on the court would be much more convenient.

Rong Zhi saw Fang Chenghai hesitant, and he was obviously moved by himself and was secretly happy.

If he can get a stable source of goods and deduct what he has to hand over to Fang Chenghai, he can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every time, and sell it several times this year...

Thinking of this, Rongzhi's breathing became rapid.

"General Fang, if you can't convince General Cai, you might as well find another way!" He suggested, "Don't it be said that General Cai obeyed his wife's advice? Mrs. Cai likes jewelry the most. You might as well act on her preferences and start with Mrs. Cai. The wind blows by the pillow..."

"Okay!" Fang Chenghai interrupted him sternly, "I know everything you said, but Cai Zhuo is too cautious and only wants to help us act behind our backs and is unwilling to participate in our plan. In this way, he will have a way out, and our people must not have a way out!"

"Do you understand?"

Fang Chenghai said word by word, his tone was extremely cold and harsh.

Rong Zhi was shocked and saw a huge murderous aura in Fang Chenghai's calm eyes. He quickly lowered his head and never dared to act like a careless look again.

"You're right!" Rong Zhi said flatteringly, "If you have a way out of our field, you will inevitably feel timid. Once you have timidity, you will not be able to complete so many plans! General Fang is very insightful!"

"Stop flattering here." Fang Chenghai said unhappily, "It's better to have more contact with Mr. Mei, the Mei family behind him..."

"Yes, yes!" Rong Zhi said repeatedly, "Young man, go and talk to Mr. Mei!"

Seeing Rongzhi trot away, Fang Chenghai finally couldn't suppress his anger and slapped the table with a palm.

The loud noise made the servants who served the Fang family shudder.

Then, after seeing Fang Chenghai hurrying into the carriage and instructing the servants to go to Cai's mansion, they immediately understood.

As everyone knows, although Fang Chenghai and Cai Zhuo are both officials in the Northern Protectorate Office, one comes from a noble family and the other comes from a poor family. They have different opinions on many things, especially in recent years, the differences between the two have become increasingly greater, and almost to the point where they have to argue every time they meet.

Since I went to Cai’s Mansion, I must have encountered some trouble again.

On the carriage, Fang Chenghai felt his eyelids beating constantly. He pressed his eyebrows, but he could not relieve his inner worries.

Halfway through the way, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the confidant brought an exquisite brocade box to Fang Chenghai.

"General, this is the jewelry specially sent by Rongzhi."

Fang Chenghai snorted coldly when he heard this: "Whenever he is in these things, he will be more attentive than others."

"Rongzhi is more profitable and capable of controlling people. If he doesn't want anything, you should worry!" said the confidant, "According to his subordinates, you might as well listen to his advice and go to Cai's Mansion to try it. If it is really useful, our plan will be more than half successful!"

"I know." Fang Chenghai waved his hand and leaned against the soft couch, but he felt indescribable fatigue in his heart.

In the past few days, the ominous premonition has become increasingly severe.

The capital is peaceful,

But in the imperial city, it is covered with clouds and everyone is in danger.

"The emperor fainted!"

"All the imperial physicians were called to Tai Chi Hall!"

These news quickly spread to various palaces as if they had wings. Even Fengyi Palace received a lot of similar news.

The queen knelt in front of the Buddha, muttering the sutras. Suddenly she paused her hand, and the Buddhist beads that were originally held in her hand fell to the ground and scattered all over the ground.

In an instant, the queen covered her chest and felt an ominous premonition.

At this time, a little eunuch walked in, and his thin body was almost covered by layers of curtains.

"Empress, the emperor fainted!" The little eunuch's voice was faint, "It seems that the situation is not very good, all the six ministers have gone to Tai Chi Hall!"

Hearing this, the queen stood up.

There was sadness and excitement in her eyes, and many emotions emerged one by one in her eyes: "He... the deadline is coming?"

"It's not clear yet, but looking at the faces of the ministers, it's probably not good." The eunuch thought for a moment and whispered, "The Queen Mother said, let you be ready."

The queen's eyes suddenly became cold. She held her hands tightly, and her sharp nails poked several extremely deep marks on the palm of her hand, but she did not feel the pain at all.

Soon, she calmed down: "No matter what happens in Tai Chi Palace, you can't take action. Be sure to stare at the other princes and those Shangshus! If there is any abnormal movement..."

"Kill without mercy!"

"yes!"

At this time, the heavy smell of medicine in the Tai Chi Hall could not hide the strong, bloody smell.

Most of the Shangshu were over fifty years old and their temples were gray. They looked anxiously in the curtain, and their hearts were very anxious.

Before the crown prince was established, the emperor fainted. If there was any good thing... then the Chu State would be bloody!

Thinking of this, several Shangshu's eyes shone with tears.
