Chapter 670: Xue Ren wants to do the opposite, the way of a merchant
"Is the information accurate?"
"It's just a guess, but I think there is a high probability that no one in this world would dare to verify the news in front of him. That would not be seeking verification, but a death wish."
Speaking of this, a sarcasm flashed across Xue Ren's face.
"But even if it isn't, then he definitely has such a presence under his hands."
Indeed, the information he got now was all his own speculation, but he felt that this result was extremely close to the truth.
"Second Uncle, whether this matter is true or false, this matter must not be spread to the ears of a third person."
"That's natural."
Xue Ren did not refute, but nodded with a solemn look on his face.
If it weren't for this critical moment and there were all his relatives in the room, he would never have mentioned this matter.
"Especially eldest brother, if Brother Qi finds out about this, I'm afraid no one in the entire capital can protect you."
Baochai took a deep look at Xue Pan. She knew that her eldest brother liked to drink too much. He also liked to brag when he drank too much. He said everything he should say and shouldn't.
It should be noted that trouble comes from the mouth. No matter whether Jia Qi is dead or alive at this time, the people in the Hou Mansion are not just decorations. If they take action, they will probably be ten times more ruthless than Jia Qi. Jia Qi may still think about it a few times.
They share the love of incense, but those people have nothing to do with either the Jia family or the Xue family, so naturally they will not consider showing mercy.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Is that that kind of person?"
Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by his biological sister, Xue Pan couldn't help but retort.
Hearing this, Xue Baochai's eyes did not see any ripples, and he was still looking at Xue Pan.
Not that kind of person?
It is said that one's nature is easy to change but hard to change. If Xue Pan had self-awareness, then he would not be called Xue Pan.
"Brother, this matter is of great importance. No matter the palace or the Marquis Mansion, they will not let it go unchecked. When the time comes, they will use swords and swords, and I am afraid that the Xue family will be wiped out by them!"
"It's been a while since I've been in the capital. What is the behavior of these people in the capital? You should know. Is what I said, sister, right? My brother should also know!"
"Even if what happened back then is true as my second uncle said, and he was the culprit, we can't have the slightest intention of revenge at this time."
"The Hou family has a great cause and can mobilize too many forces. Now, the Xue family is temporarily living in the Jia family. It looks like a good place, but in fact it is like a tiger."
"Even the Duke's Mansion, which has its back on the imperial concubine, I'm afraid it won't dare to provoke them."
"The fate of Zeng Shutang, the prime minister of the current dynasty, serves as a warning to others. The emperor spoke eloquently and issued an imperial edict to barbarize the ten tribes!"
Hearing this, Xue Panpi nodded with a smile.
"I know, I know, I'll just pretend I haven't heard this from now on."
Aunt Xue did not object to Baochai's suggestion. Not to mention the current decline of the family, even before, when Mr. Xue was still there, the Xue family could not defeat the current champion Houfu.
The difference between the two mansions is not a few thousand taels or tens of thousands taels of silver, but a huge difference between heaven and earth. The Hou Mansion does not even need to deal with them personally.
After hearing Xue Pan's words, Baochai sighed softly.
As for whether the other party listened to it or not, she was no longer able to care about it. Regarding this matter, it was not wrong to say that she had no complaints in her heart, but she knew very well that what her brother had done in these years was worth a thousand dollars.
Even if he is cut into pieces by a sword, he should be killed and executed.
Now, Jia Qi is kind enough to them by being able to save them many times regardless of their past grudges.
After a while, Baochai asked again: "What do you mean, second uncle, we won't leave this time?"
Xue Ren nodded and replied: "The way of doing business is nothing more than gambling. Back then in Jinling, our Xue family was considered to be the only one with unlimited glory. Now it is getting worse day by day. Now we can only defect to
relative......"
Speaking of this, even Xue Ren, who has experienced ups and downs, felt a little embarrassed on his face. What is the difference between seeking refuge with relatives and those who are fighting against the autumn wind?
"During my time in the capital, I have not been idle. I have purchased some things and purchased some property. Now everyone in the capital is in danger. Countless people want to leave. There are many properties in the streets and alleys that want to sell.
The price is as low as cabbage price..."
Hearing Xue Ren's words, everyone in the room was shocked. The second master of the Xue family was actually thinking of buying real estate at this time.
"Second uncle, isn't this too risky?"
Baochai hesitated for a moment and then gave a reminder.
After all, no one can guarantee that the Duke of Dongping will not come in. By then, those house deeds will probably be just a piece of waste paper. At that time, the money they spent will undoubtedly be in vain.
And even if they can't get in, there's no question whether those thunderbolts will be thrown in. If those kind of things are thrown in, those houses are on the ground with no shelter, and the probability of being destroyed is too high.
Xue Ren sat on the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly. He had naturally thought about what Xue Baochai thought, but anything, a high-yield thing, would naturally be accompanied by risks.
What is considered at this time is a person's courage and vision. It is precisely because he believes that the court will not lose this time, so he feels that this is an extremely cost-effective deal.
If this matter can be accomplished, the Xue family may be able to rise to great heights.
"Baoqin, tell me, is this worth doing?"
Xue Ren looked at his daughter. After all, Baochai had not experienced too many accidents and was subconsciously resistant to risks. Xue Baoqin was different. She had traveled all over the country with him and had seen a lot of wind, frost, rain and snow. He wanted to hear about his daughter
Views.
"this......"
Bao Qin was a little hesitant, but after she thought for a moment, she spoke again.
"Worth a try!"
"Nowadays, everyone in the capital is in danger, and the prices of these things will be lowered invisibly. Some people are eager to sell them, and the prices will even be outrageously low. Not everyone has the confidence to face the menacing rebels.
Most people still cherish their lives."
"The first one who decides not to leave right now is that the family is powerful and has back-ups. Even if the rebel king of Dongping comes in, they have the means to leave. The second one is like us who feel that the capital will not lose.
Those people can’t get in either.”
"But no matter what, we will not purchase real estate at this time. This gives us an opportunity. However, this transaction is too big and we cannot do it with our family's strength. We need a solid and reliable ally.
"
"Of course, there is a possibility of losing money in this transaction. With a small gain, you will naturally have to bear the corresponding risks. This is what you should do. Once successful, maybe the Xue family will become the richest man in the capital overnight..."
