Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 456 Secret Letter
Xie Jue frowned, thought for a while, got up and said, "Let him wait in the study outside, and I'll go there."

Tang Bing responded outside.

Xie Jue turned around, lightly rubbed Su Yue's head and said, "Yue'er rest first, I'll be back in a while."

Su Yue nodded.

Xie Jue smiled, turned around and left.

Steward Gong bought a big courtyard in Quanzhou long ago, but both Xie Jue and Su Yue still liked the original small courtyard, and they also lived here this time.

Although the outer study room has an outsider, it is actually in the front yard, just across a moon gate.

When Xie Jue arrived, the person from the Lin family had already been ushered into the wing room. Seeing him coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Third Lord."

Xie Jue nodded with a smile, sat down on the chair, and said, "What's the matter with your lord?"

The person who came here was the second housekeeper of Lin's mansion, and he was also a person with face in Quanzhou mansion. Seeing Xie Jue like this, he felt displeased, but he pinched his own palm instead.

He actually forgot that this person is not just a sea merchant anymore, but this person has a third-rank official position. Although he is dismissed, even if he sees the prefect of Lin, he has to be greeted by the prefect of Lin.

He is a servant...

After thinking it over clearly, the visitor's face was full of respect, and he said: "Our lord has a letter, let the little one hand it to the third master."

Xie Jue nodded slightly, and the guard next to him stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

The visitor honestly took out a letter sealed with wax from his pocket, and put it in the guard's hand. The guard held it in both hands, and handed it to Xie Jue, so that Xie Jue could see the wax on the letter clearly.

Xie Jue nodded.

The guard withdrew his hand, picked up the small silver knife on the table, stepped back slightly, and then used the silver knife to pick off the wax.

Pulling out the letter paper, the silver knife casually slashed across the letter paper. After waiting for a while, the guard respectfully handed the letter to Xie Jue.

After receiving the envelope, Xie Jue pulled out the letter paper, opened it and asked, "How is your lord?"

"Thanks to the third master, it's all right." The visitor lowered his head, paused for a moment, and said with an even more respectful expression: "The day before yesterday, Madam also came back from the capital."

"That's it." Xie Jue said with a smile, and at the same time quickly glanced at the content of the letter, a hint of coldness appeared on the corner of his lips, and said: "Reply a letter to your lord, saying that I already know, This year, I will not go to sea from Quanzhou."

"Yes." The visitor hurriedly replied, although he nodded, his body did not move.

Xie Jue glanced at him, and said to the guard: "It just so happens that this one is here, you can take back the newly prepared copy for the magistrate this year."

As he spoke, he held the empty envelope between two fingers and handed it to the guard.

While responding, the guard took out two slips from his cuffs and stuffed them into the envelope. After sealing the envelope, he handed it to the person who came, and said at the same time: "Please take care of things, follow me to pick up the things."

Only then did the visitor say hello repeatedly with a smile on his face.

When he was outside, the guard took out a jiaozi from another cuff, leaned slightly, and stuffed the jiaozi into the hands of the visitor.

Only then did the visitor realize that the envelope was probably for the prefect Lin, and he peeked at the hundred-peat banknotes in his hand, was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed the guard out.

After the room became quiet, Xie Jue picked up the envelope again, and said to Tang Bing slowly, "First, Yue'er also said that he was afraid that the Ninth Prince would be unfavorable to me."

Tang Bing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xie Jue unfolded the letter paper so that he could see it too.

Tang Bing looked at it with his head, and frowned unconsciously.

It was written on the letter paper that Mrs. Lin brought a letter from Madam Lin, the old man of the prefect Lin, saying that a very noble person asked him to check a man named Xie Jue. Qian, I am afraid that he will take the fleet to sea again this year, so the prefect Lin must stop this person from going to sea, no matter what method is used, this person cannot be allowed to go to sea again.

"Why?" Tang Bing asked after thinking for a while.

With Xie Jue's current financial resources and subordinates, he doesn't need to go to sea by himself at all, and he can still earn huge profits, and this year he didn't think about taking a boat to sea by himself (he wants to get married), even if he promised Lin Zhifu not to go to sea, there would be no loss .

But, why did this nobleman stop Xie Jue from going out to sea?
Is it to keep Xie Jue in Song Dynasty?still……

"Mrs. Lin has stayed in the capital since she sent her daughter to Beijing." Xie Jue tapped the letter paper with a finger, and said with cold sarcasm: "I'm afraid she doesn't know what I have done in the past few years." what?"

Tang Bing looked at him, not understanding.

How did it come to Mrs. Lin?
"So, this person's original intention is probably that he doesn't want me to go to sea to make money." Xie Jue said flatly.

Don't let him go to sea...

If it is said that it would be bad for him to want him to stay in the Song Dynasty, this is a bit unreasonable. Now that he is wandering around, the prefect Lin does not know his whereabouts. How can he find him as the Ninth Prince?

Moreover, he also specifically mentioned that he made a sum of money last year.

When he returned from Baghdad last year, he brought back a huge amount of wealth, but those gold jewels and the most valuable spices all disembarked early, and even the people at the port didn't know how much they had.

His property in the Song Dynasty is already very large, but it is all scattered in the hands of Zheng Qijiangliu and others. Outsiders don't even know how rich he is. The amount registered in the department.

Calculated, even the Shibo Secretary can only see his profits of about a few million guan, while the prefect Lin, I am afraid that the information he gets is only 400 million guan.

Besides, Mrs. Lin has never returned after sending her daughter to Beijing, and the relationship between the prefect Lin and the Fang family is not good. It is impossible to tell about the fact that he has been accepting bribes from him and being threatened by correspondence with the third prince. Naturally, she will not Tell them how much money Xie Jue made.

So, it wasn't Madam Lin who said, how did the Ninth Prince, who has been living in Shuzhou, know that he made a fortune last year, and why did he want to prevent him from going to sea again?
The Ninth Prince is sure that he will make money when he goes to sea, so he doesn't like it?Or do you want to seize his fleet?
But if you want to seize his fleet, you shouldn't say that in the instructions given to the prefect Lin.

Or, the Ninth Prince knew that as an abandoned prince, he still didn't have the ability and strength to let Zhifu Lin help him seize the ship, so he stopped him from going to sea first, cutting off his money.

Just in case he made more money and was more powerful!

correct!Xie Jue clenched his hand tightly, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "He doesn't want me to continue to be strong!"

"Don't want the third master to continue to be strong?" Tang Bing said softly, his face changed: "Could it be possible, he knows about the master..."

Speaking of this, he shook his head again and again: "It shouldn't be, how could he know?"

Xie Jue laughed coldly, and said: "No matter what his thoughts are, this one is really not a simple character. Now it seems that he knows me far better than I know him. Inform Mr. Gu to send the best and cleanest people to wait to be sent to the Ninth Prince's Mansion."

When the small courtyard in Quanzhou started to move, a low-key convoy was slowly heading for the capital on the distant Bozhou official road.

A man quickly approached the largest carriage in the convoy, leaned over the window and said, "Master, Mr. Fang said that the letter has been delivered, and it is a message for Mrs. Lin."

Someone inside hummed, and then the window opened a thread, a jade-like finger rested on it, and tapped lightly.

The people outside quickly rode away, giving way to the window.

The person inside turned his head slightly to look out, and let out a slight smile.

Xie Jue, his sudden wealth started when he went to Baghdad this year. If he can't even go to sea this year, then can he still become the king of the East China Sea who is so rich?
