Chapter 337
The carriage turned off from Hongtan Lane, walked to Tingchao Tower, and then returned to Tongfu Inn where Yunzhuo and Xie Jie stayed.

When Yun Zhuo got off the carriage, Wen Lu happened to be walking outside, and when he saw Yun Zhuo, he saluted.

Yun Zhuo nodded and asked him, "Where is Mr. Xie?"

"I'm talking with Mr. Zhou on the second floor."

"Then have they had lunch?" Yun Zhuo asked again.

"Ate."

Only then did Yun Zhuo turn her head, and ordered Qiu Xing to take down the dishes she had packed from Tingchaolou and instruct the cook to simmer them on the stove, and then serve them out in the evening.

After giving the order, she went upstairs and returned to her room, but did not bother Xie Jie and Zhou Zhengkun.

"The matter of Linyao, I should have told my husband earlier, but it was delayed by something these days, so I moved it to today, and I specially invited my husband here, and I also wanted to ask him, do you know this person?"

In the room, Xie Jie slowly opened a picture scroll, which showed a scribe in green clothes, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, covering most of his face, but revealing a pair of fierce eagle-like eyes, his lower lip, nose and chin, All hidden in the shadows.

When Zhou Zhengkun was looking at the picture scroll, Xie Jie was not idle, and told him his purpose of coming to Yao: "It is thanks to A Zhuo, if she hadn't discovered the abnormality, I would not have ordered someone to pay attention to it." Check and find out the secret."

"A group of Hu merchants stayed in Linyao in the name of delayed goods. Later, our people discovered that the goods in the hands of these Hu merchants turned out to be black iron."

It is never necessary for smart people to explain too clearly. Zhou Zhengkun nodded after he mentioned a few words: "I understand what Master Xie means."

In the business exchanges between the two countries, it is common for goods to be stagnant, but it is not a simple matter that the goods are mixed with black iron.The emperor had long ordered to strictly control the salt and iron, but now the Hu merchants dared to bring black iron into the country, making it clear that they did not take Emperor Ye's order seriously, and the meaning behind this was intriguing.

Of course, at this juncture, it doesn't matter what it means.The important thing is whether there are people in Daye who dare to disobey the emperor's order and trade black iron with the barbarians. If there is such a thing, a hat of treason cannot be taken away.

But for such a big matter, why did Xie Jie bring Yun Zhuo here?Even though Yun Zhuo is resourceful, he is not as wise as Xie Jie.What's more, she can't lift her shoulders or lift her hands. If something happens, it will be difficult to save her life.

Zhou Zhengkun thought with downcast eyes, and then heard Xie Jie sigh: "It's just that this matter is of great importance, we must not startle the snake, and the other party is also alert, and hides well these days. Although I intend to wait for the rabbit, I am also afraid of this cunning rabbit's three holes, Teach me to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain, I wonder if Mr. Zhou has a good plan?"

After Zhou Zhengkun thought about it, he understood what Xie Jie meant.

I'm afraid that the worry in my heart is false, but the truth is that I want to try his depth.

Thinking of this, he chuckled and said, "It's not a good strategy, I can only say that the army is dangerous. I think so, since Hu Shang has black iron in his hand and has stayed in Linyao for many days without leaving, it must be Relying on the rare goods, you want to sell them for a price. Since Mr. Xie wants to muddy the water in this pool, why don't you come out in person, release the news that you want to buy Xuantie, and lure the snake out of the hole?"

Xie Jie's face remained unchanged: "Mr. Zhou is too modest."

He thought about it in his heart, and naturally knew that this was not an excellent strategy, but Zhou Zhengkun was able to come up with such a method in a short period of time, which was really rare.

Zhou Zhengkun had already said that this was a dangerous military operation, but after he finished speaking, he realized that it was too dangerous. After all, if he was a little careless, he might be caught by others. If he didn't reveal his identity at that time, his life might be in danger. So after Xie Jie finished speaking, he added: "However, in my opinion, Mr. Xie should be calm. Although it is useful to take risks in the army, it is a bit risky after all. You might as well lure it slowly."

Fearing that Xie Jie would ask him for his great ideas again, Zhou Zhengkun hurriedly complimented him very presciently: "Master Xie must be resourceful and resourceful, he must have made plans a long time ago."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help wiping his sweat again: It's okay, it's okay, it's a good thing he reacted quickly, otherwise he would follow Xie Jie's routine of saying one sentence to trick someone, and he would be thanked if he couldn't say ten sentences. Hsu was buried in the pit.At that time, it is not certain that the fame of the first life will be ruined in his hands.It can be seen from this that the ancients were sincere and never deceived me, no matter when they act first, it is the most reasonable thing in life.

"Mr. Zhou's praise." Xie Jie was as steady as an old dog in the face of his compliments, very calm, "After all, I'm a late student, so I need to ask Mr. Zhou to help me a lot. I don't know the person in this painting?"

Zhou Zhengkun had glanced at it before, making sure that no one he knew had such eyes. Now when Xie Jie asked again, he squinted his eyes for a long while before shaking his head and said, "I don't know This person."

This was also expected by Xie Jie, he didn't look disappointed, and chatted with Zhou Zhengkun for a few more words, and then the conversation between the two was interrupted by Wen Lu's knock on the door.

Zhou Zhengkun then thoughtfully said: "Since Mr. Xie still has something to do, I won't bother you. Your excellency is very good at chess, it suits my taste. Next time your excellency is free, you can play against me again."

"Since the gentleman said that, then I will not be polite. If I have time some other day, I will definitely come to talk to my husband. I heard that the autumn scenery of Linyao Songchun Lake is very good. Why don't we make an appointment at Songchun Lake some other day?" Xie Xie Hsu got up and sent him outside the door, and at the same time did not forget to make a chess appointment with him.

Zhou Zhengkun thought for a moment: "Songhua Nianjiu Chunshui Jiancha is a good name. Yes."

While the two were talking, they walked outside the door, Zhou Zhengkun stopped, turned his head and bowed to Xie Jie: "Master Xie has something to do, so I will send you off without trouble, and please stay."

Xie Jie stood with his hands behind his back, nodded and said, "Sir, go slowly."

Wen Lu stood at the door and watched for a while, but he really didn't understand what was worth cherishing between the two stinky chess baskets with three moves and one regret.After waiting for the people to leave, he followed Xie Jie into the house and told him what he had seen and heard all day.

"I heard that the Xizhou Pavilion was demolished by the people of Duanwang Mansion early this morning. It is said that the Xizhou Pavilion has been built for a long time, and it is in disrepair. It is a dangerous building. Most of the people who go in and out of the Xizhou Pavilion are celebrities and nobles. I can't afford it."

"And Miss Yun Si went to the banquet today and said..."

Wen Lu held back, but couldn't hold back her smile: "She told the noble ladies in Linyao that she married a small civil servant, and now that civil servant is ungrateful, but after only two months of marriage, she already despises her in every possible way..."

"It's not that the subordinates said that Miss Yun Si's story is too fake, that is, in Linyao, if it were placed in the capital, no one would believe it. She has always been the only one who is mean to others. When will anyone dare to hate her?"

Xie Jie closed his eyes, suspecting that Wen Lu was sincere in embarrassing himself: "Could it be that you forgot that her nominal husband is me now?"
