Four people sat down around a round table.

Lu Chengfeng thought about it and said: "Young Master Zhou, how can you find a compromise on this matter? Blood jade is an extremely rare item, and it has been hard to find one for so many years. It was not her intention to break it—— "

Cheng Yao held her down: "I said it has nothing to do with me—"

Lu Chengfeng said: "I know."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were taken aback.

Cheng Yao said: "Know that you still have to pay?"

Lu Chengfeng said, "I have to pay."

Zhou Fang became interested, and he also wanted to know, if it was as Cheng Yao said, would Lu Chengfeng really compensate him for the loss?

Lu Chengfeng looked at Zhou Fang: "Young Master Zhou, make a satisfactory price, as long as this matter can be exposed."

Xie Jiuxiao frowned unconsciously, and secretly glanced at Lu Chengfeng while stretching.

Others may not be able to detect it, but Xie Jiuxiao can best perceive her emotional changes. This person——

Zhou Fang was hindered by Lu Chengfeng's embarrassment and didn't want to hold on to it, and he couldn't swallow Cheng Yao's breath, so he hesitated for a while.

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "4 taels, how about it?"

Zhou Fang frowned: "It's not about money."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said: "I know that the Zhou family has a lot of money, so a mere 4 taels will definitely not be taken seriously. It's just Mr. Zhou, A Yao and I met when we were young. Although she is a bit of a fool, she never treats me I'm lying, there may be some misunderstanding among you, it's just that there is no way to study all of this, why don't we take a step back, what do you think?"

What Lu Chengfeng said is actually very reasonable. Blood jade is an extremely difficult item to find. It is really difficult for Cheng Yao to find an identical one. What's more, Lu Chengfeng has already spoken, so there is really no need to hold on.

Cheng Yao frowned, and opened her mouth to speak, Lu Chengfeng looked at Zhou Fang with a slight smile, quickly covered her mouth with his right hand, and Cheng Yao's words were blocked.

Lu Chengfeng took a look, the warning was not too obvious, Cheng Yao resentfully let it go.

Zhou Fang only thought about it for a while, and out of various considerations, he nodded: "As you say."

Lu Chengfeng nodded, then looked at Xie Jiuxiao: "You heard me, give me 4 taels."

Zhou Fang raised his hand to stop it, and looked at Lu Chengfeng: "Miss Lu—"

He turned his gaze to Cheng Yao: "It should be her who gave the money."

Lu Chengfeng said: "It's the same for her and me."

"It's not the same." Zhou Fang raised his eyebrows, his eyes darkened slightly: "If you give it, it is equivalent to Jiuxiao's giving. Jiuxiao pays the 4 taels, which is no different from the 4 taels I pay myself."

"Second brother isn't—"

"You don't talk yet."

Lu Chengfeng withdrew his hand and said, "I understand what Mr. Zhou means, but—"

She looked at Xie Jiuxiao, smiled inexplicably, and said, "It's just that Jiuxiao is in charge of the money here, and I don't have a single coin on me."

Zhou Fang stared silently.

The atmosphere became a little weird.

Zhou Slow smiled slowly: "Miss Lu, you were famous when you were young, and I often heard about your deeds in Shanxi. Now there are rumors in the city that you want to build a batch of bows and crossbows. I'm a businessman, forget it Roughly speaking, these batches of crossbows need more than [-] taels to be made, and the imperial court cannot allocate this money to you, so where do you plan to get the money from?"

Lu Chengfeng was silent.

Zhou Fang said: "You have to have a source of money for making these crossbows."

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't help saying: "Second brother, Chengfeng is rich."

Zhou Fang said, "Are you rich?"

He looked at Lu Chengfeng with the usual smile of a businessman: "Miss Lu, these two words are a big taboo. The Lu family was completely ransacked. You spent 200 taels a month in Yanjing. Where did you come from?" Conjure these 10,000+ taels?"

He paused, reached out to bring tea, and said, "Accepting bribes?"

When Lu Chengfeng and Cheng Yao heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they both thought of something.

Cheng Yao said: "Of course not."

Zhou Fang said: "I believe it is naturally not the case, and the court naturally does not think that you will do this. Then who will the money fall on in the end?"

All three looked at Xie Jiuxiao.

Zhou Fangdao: "Everyone knows that Xie's family is rich, but everyone knows how big brother Xie loves Jiu Xiao. In addition to the fixed pocket expenses, he also buys him a land and floor shop every year. Coupled with the years of Xie's family, the money is immeasurable. I believe that Miss Lu is rich, but if someone else came to ask you, how would you answer? If the Lu family stayed behind, then the one who was implicated should be the official who ransacked the house at the beginning, and the death penalty. If it was not left behind by the Lu family, then your Where does the money come from?"

Lu Chengfeng's eyebrows were sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Lu Chengfeng can't be rich."

Zhou Fang said: "You want to make a nun. Since the imperial court has not allocated military funds, the only one who can get more than [-] yuan at once is the Xie family. The Xie family donated a new crossbow to Subei, which is still very popular. The discolored Qingqi, what will he think when this matter reaches the emperor's ears? Even if the emperor doesn't think too much, can others let this opportunity go? The marriage between Miss Lu and Jiuxiao can be settled safely, how many unknown dangers exist in it? Presumably you know better than I do, you can't get rid of this trick, and it's hard for everyone to talk about it, and when the time comes, the Xie family will be stuck in another predicament."

Lu Chengfeng really didn't expect this. She didn't have any plans for the 800 million taels given by Fan Jie at the beginning. Later, when she met Siying in Ding'an City, Lu Chengfeng came up with the idea of ​​rebuilding Qingqi, which coincided with Xie Yunqian in the morning. It was mentioned once before that he was asked to pay attention to the war horses. Perhaps it was because of the money. After passing Huya Pass, Lu Chengfeng was careless and put the matter of bows and crossbows on the agenda in advance. Things went so smoothly that She ignores the hidden dangers that come with these afterthoughts.

After figuring out this hurdle, Lu Chengfeng looked downcast and remained silent.

Cheng Yao said in a low voice: "I was wondering why Li Zhaozhong didn't move after such a long time, but now it seems that he has seen this layer and wants to kill him with one blow."

Lu Chengfeng breathed heavily and silently, and looked at Zhou Fang with indifference: "Young Master Zhou reminded you rightly, I really did not think about this matter."

Zhou Fang nodded: "Miss Lu is polite. In private, she calls me Second Brother. That's what I should do."

This sentence can be regarded as rounded up just now.

Lu Chengfeng laughed and said kindly: "Second brother."

Cheng Yao raised her eyebrows, and her impression of Zhou Fang changed a little. Zhou Fang felt her gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, thought for a moment, and said to Lu Chengfeng: "But there is something I still want to say."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Please tell me."

Zhou Fang pointed to Cheng Yao: "The 4 taels must be paid by herself."

Lu Chengfeng was about to tell him the truth, but Zhou Fang said, "I know she has no money."

He looked at Cheng Yao, revealing a hint of calculation with unknown meaning: "So you let her follow me for a few days."

Just as Lu Chengfeng was about to speak, Cheng Yao slapped the table: "Sure! This is a good deal!"

Cheng Yao looked at Lu Chengfeng: "Don't waste your time, just follow what he said, I just don't go back to the camp these days, and I'll take care of him."

A bad premonition rose in Lu Chengfeng's heart, and he wanted to persuade Zhou Fang to think about it, but when he saw the sparks flying between the two, he thought for a while and said nothing.
