The general's wife through time

Chapter 148: Take the fork in the road

Xue Tang had nothing to ask Qin Lu and Mu Xian to do at this time, and he knew that these two people knew the rules and would not cause trouble, so after they entered the room, they were ignored.

In response to Mo Bai's words just now, Xue Tang sneered back, pointed to his forehead intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "I'll come to you, Boss Mo, will you dare to accept it? Aren't you afraid that I will tear you down first and then tear down the Mo family?"

Speaking of this, Xue Tang raised his eyebrows, and then continued: "It's a pity that Boss Mo will never have the chance to take me in in his lifetime. Because Qin Shuanyuan's belly should be bigger than yours, even if I demolish the General's Mansion, he I won’t divorce my wife. At most, we can make peace with each other peacefully. After the divorce, we may still be friends. If Boss Mo can’t live anymore, he can come to me. I will talk to Qin Shuanyuan and let him For my sake, don’t make things worse for you. Maybe he can give you a position as a pawn when he’s happy. After all, courageous heroes appreciate talent.”

Xue Tang said this to irritate Mo Bai, but he also said this because he guessed Qin Mingyuan's personality based on today's meeting.

After listening to Xue Tang's words, Mu Xian's distorted mind finally returned to its normal position, and he understood that Mo Bai was deliberately stimulating Xue Tang.

Qin Lu secretly poked Qin Shuanyuan in his heart and said: Did you see it? Madam took it out on herself, no one else was needed. Moreover, Madam’s words were even worse. She deliberately and secretly mentioned the incident of beating Mo Bai unconscious in Ruyi Building that night. Mo Bai should have a headache just thinking about it!

Mo Bai: "..."

He does have a headache.

He felt that the best way to meet a smart, sharp-tongued, and martial-arts woman was to stay away, but for some reason, he would interact with Xue Tang every once in a while. Don't like this intersection.

Xue Renyi and Li Ying were both dumbfounded.

How dare Xue Tang talk to Mo Bai like this?

Mo Bai is an imperial merchant and the brother of the crown prince’s concubine!

Qin Huangyuan's life or death is still uncertain, and even if Qin Huangyuan is at home, he can't provoke Mo Bai! Offending the royal family, isn't this looking for trouble? What if Mo Bai gets angry and takes care of the Xue family too?
Xue Tang didn't want to continue to waste time on these unnutritious issues. Isn't Mo Bai careless? Then she'll let you have some snacks.

She pointed to Aunt Xie on the ground and said to Mo Bai calmly: "Your shopkeeper Xie and this woman have brought 90,000 taels of income to the Xue family in three months. How can I compare with you, the head of the family?" So generous!”

"No, no, Master Mo, we don't have..." Aunt Xie shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Ninety thousand taels?" Mo Bai was obviously confused, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt even more violent.

"You are cheating and swindling outside, and you are using money from the Mo family to pave the way. You are very good!"

Are these people trying to die themselves and dragging the Mo family along with them to be buried with them?

Mo Bai's face darkened, and the knife flew over. Aunt Xie shrank her neck in fright and did not dare to speak again. There were only two words left in her mind: It's over.

He didn't even know that such a large amount of expenditure had been leaked through a sieve in his Mo family?
Mo Bai was still lucky just now, thinking that it was just shopkeeper Xie who didn't dare to cause trouble in the Mo family that he came out to help Pei Jian secretly in the name of the Xue family. He would beat the person and hand it over to the Yamen to explain it to him, and then he could get it all. , But now, things are hard to say. If all this money was spent from the Mo family, how could the Mo family easily get rid of the arms case?

Xue Tang knew that this must be shopkeeper Xie's own initiative, but she was not very concerned about where the money was taken. What she cared about was: "shopkeeper Xie expanded Xue Renyi's business for three months. I will give Xue Renyi 30,000 taels of income every month. Which part is the payment for cloth and cotton and which part is the stolen money from smuggling arms? Boss Mo, please sort out the money. Then the Xue family will return all the stolen money or hand it over directly to the Yamen. As for the Xue family We will discuss the mental losses of being deceived in detail later.”

"I have the contract I signed with Shopkeeper Xie here, as well as the previous contract for selling cloth and cotton. Comparing the two, I can quickly calculate the price difference. The difference is the stolen money. Wait, I will get the contract right now." Xue Renyi looked at it. Seeing the scene in front of me, my IQ finally returned a bit, and I quickly went to the study to get the contract.

Li Ying had already stood up and sat blankly on the side, looking at Xue Tang with a particularly dazed expression.

She felt that this was not her daughter, but someone else.

In the night wind, Kaiyang heard a comfortable breathing. He also opened his eyes. How could a person like the general feel so comfortable after just a few words?

"Let's go!" Qin Huangyuan lowered his voice. After saying that, his figure flashed and completely disappeared into the night.

This woman is very smart and considerate in her work. As for Duan Jingchen and Mo Bai's covetousness, Qin Mingyuan is no longer worried now. He believes that this woman's vision of people does not look down on those two crooked melons and bad dates.

Two figures quickly shuttled through the forest.

Kaiyang couldn't help but ask: "General, don't you want to look at it anymore?" "We have to rush back as soon as possible, and we can't waste any time."

Not only were the violent white tigers on the ship, but also the ashes and souls of those soldiers. It was necessary to ensure that they could return home safely. Of course, the dozen or so Qin family troops and the black butterfly shells on the ship could not make any mistakes.

"But since the general has come specifically to see Madam, he doesn't want to waste time on a few cups of tea."

"When did I come all the way? I was just dropping by."

Kaiyang's voice suddenly dropped and turned into a murmur, "It was really a smooth road, but it went completely in the opposite direction, and it also led to a fork in the road..."

In the main house of the Xue family, Xue Renyi quickly calculated the price difference. Eight thousand taels were the income from cloth and cotton, and the remaining eight thousand taels were stolen money.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Xue Tang.

Have you made up for it? Can his daughter forgive him for those harsh words he said impulsively? He will definitely act more carefully in the future.

Xue Tang was not in the mood to care about Xue Renyi at the moment. She picked up the contract and accounts, read them ten lines at a time, and handed them to Mo Bai.

Mo Bai glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to return the eighty-two thousand taels. This is my spiritual compensation for the Xue family. As for how to explain to the government in the future, if I still have to hand over the stolen money, I will make up for it myself." , I will handle this matter personally, and the Xue family will never be implicated in the future."

"it is good!"

Following Xue Tang's voice, Shangguan Xun's voice clearly reached everyone's ears, and as soon as he finished speaking, people had already walked into the house.

Everyone in the room, except Xue Tang and Lu Rui, were all shocked.

Mo Bai looked at Xue Tang in astonishment.

Xue Tang spread his hands and said calmly: "No way, it's timed out."

Lu Rui quickly explained: "My wife sent someone to find Mr. Shangguan before she came here, and agreed with Mr. Shangguan on a time. If the prisoner has not been sent to Jingzhao Mansion after that time, Mr. Shangguan will think that my wife is here. If things don’t go well, officials will come with them.”

Aunt Xie, who was paralyzed on the ground, was just sweating coldly. Now when she saw the official, her eyes darkened, and there was a bang in her head. If she fell into the hands of Mo Bai, her life would be worse than death, then it was true that she fell into the hands of Shangguan Xun. There is no future, she already feels the breath of death.

Xue Tang's voice was still unhurried, and every word he said was very serious, "...I have reached an agreement with the leader of the Mo family. The people of the Mo family deceived the Xue family. The Mo family paid 82,000 taels. The two of us The family has become private. If the Xue family needs to cooperate with the case and provide evidence in the future, Mr. Shangguan said that the Xue family will fully cooperate. Mr. Shangguan also asks you to find out who is involved in this matter and how to avoid it. City gate search, to whom will the goods be delivered to the north, and how will they be delivered to the Tatar military camp? "

Shangguan Xun nodded.

He really wanted to find out, follow the clues, and find out the sales channels for smuggled arms.

He secretly marveled. Others would only be miserable if they were cheated, but Xue Tang was able to seize key clues and advance the progress of the arms case. He felt like he had received a divine assist.

Mo Bai gritted his teeth.

Is this because Xue Tang shouldn't waste time before telling him? He wasted his time teasing Xue Tang, that's why he timed out, and that's why Shangguan Xun came to him.

Originally, he could send people to the government, and Shangguan Xun would be somewhat polite to him. Now, he also became a suspect.

He looked back at Xue Tang.

How could this woman handle such a matter so methodically and with so much experience?

Fuck, how many people have you tricked before to gain experience?
