Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 71 Injustice
Li Xiang raised the flagon in his hand and said, "I'm not drunk, not talking drunk."

The corners of Xie Jue's eyes twitched, and he looked at Li Xiang's subordinates who were automatically backing away, nodded to Xie Qi, and then walked into the door.

Xie Qi closed the door and guarded the door by himself.

"I told you earlier that when I come back this time, I won't run the boat again." Li Xiang got down from the window rail and closed the window.

Go to the table and sit down.

There was no trace of drunkenness on his face.

Xie Jue also walked to the table and sat down. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured Li Xiang a glass of water.

"Some of my people are already old, and they can't run the boat anymore. They have made some money over the years. This time I will divide it up and let them go back to retire." Li Xiang drank the water in one gulp. , said: "But there are still some young and strong people who can still run. Besides, you also need skilled sailors and boat masters. You are familiar with the two boats I brought this time. Those who have not boarded the boat, I will Let me introduce you, and if you take it for a run, your heart will be satisfied."

"Why?" Xie Jue asked softly.

Li Xiang had thought of closing the mountain before, but he didn't tell him, that is to say, he had made arrangements for his subordinates, why did he say this so suddenly now?

About Miss Biao, Li Xiang didn't think about that at all, so he didn't know, but knowing it, it's not difficult to deal with stepmother and younger brother.

Just because of this?impossible!
"Hehe." Li Xiang chuckled and said, "You're just too smart, be careful how fast you think."

Xie Jue didn't speak, just looked at him.

Li Xiang sighed lightly and said: "I originally thought that you are still young now, and I was afraid that you would not be able to suppress those people, so I wanted to accompany you to the Three Buddhas again, and take care of those who are not on the boat this time. , so this matter is not in a hurry, but I have something urgent to do now, if it is not done well, I may not be able to come back, so before I leave, I want to arrange things well. "

Xie Jue raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

Li Xiang said helplessly: "It's not because of that stinky bitch and that bastard, those two people..." His eyes were a little red, Li Xiang turned his head slightly, then turned back and said: "To deal with those two people, Fei It’s nothing, I’ve already asked, that brat has been obsessed with gambling for more than a year, and he has almost lost everything in his hands. Although I let him take care of my shop, he can’t move, he just pays for it in private With some silver taels empty, the family is already separated, I just need to do some tricks, and they can't eat and go around."

Xie Jue nodded, still did not speak, but poured him another glass of water.

Li Xiang unconsciously raised his lower lip, and said: "I have already started to collect my property. By the way, I have seven farms, two in Suzhou, two in Huzhou, one in Shaoxing, and two in Lin'an. 25 mu, there is also a big village in Wuzhou, with [-] mu of land, and [-] mu of nearby forest, and a mountain forest near Hangzhou, with a radius of more than ten miles. If you want, I will give you a total of [-] guan, but I will exchange it for gold."

Xie Jue had seen the taxes and land rents on Liangzhe Road, and knew that Suzhou, Huzhou, Shaoxing and Lin’an are the most fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land rent per mu is considered to be the highest. Moreover, these places have more people and less land. Thousand-acre farms are considered big villages, and their land prices are more expensive than elsewhere.

If there are five to eight acres in other places, then there are ten to twelve acres in these places, and the [-] acres is already more than [-] acres, not to mention the Datianzhuang in Wuzhou and the vicinity of Hangzhou. forests.

Moreover, the price is not a problem, the problem is that these industries are willing to give up, so Li Xiang really does not plan to come back alive...

Therefore, the stepmother and younger brother must not be left behind for cheap.

"Master Li, money and gold are not a problem." Xie Jue also poured himself a glass of water, slowly turning it in his hand, and said, "But, you have to tell me, what are you going to do?"

Li Xiang was silent for a while and then said: "It's better not to know."

Xie Jue smiled lightly and said, "Master Li, you and I have walked on the edge of life and death together, and I took over your garden property and there are people, so I am responsible for it. If you don't tell me, I won't be prepared at all." none……"

Li Xiang turned his face slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

"Back then, I took my father's boat out to sea. The boat was broken and was not repaired. After going out, I encountered a big storm and blew me off the course. I worked so hard to bring back a batch of spices. In the end, I heard the bad news about my cousin. At that time, I was so sad that I fainted. Someone wanted to take the opportunity to swallow my batch of spices. It was someone who managed to keep my batch of spices. Otherwise, I would have lost everything at that time. "

Li Xiang drank his saliva and said slowly: "Later, that Juren won the Jinshi, and got the favor of his boss, and was sent to Liangzhe Road as a transfer envoy. You also know this time, let's run the boat, don't look at it The benefits are great, but the risks are also great. I can earn tens of millions by running a boat, but I may lose all of it on the next trip. Even if I come back safely, if I meet a greedy person, I can get it. I don't know how much I can get, thanks to his secret help all the time, at least, I haven't been cheated or bullied these years, but in these years, he has never taken any benefits from me. , send something fun to the wife and son."

Xie Jue frowned slightly.

The transshipment envoy of Liangzhe Road, if I remember correctly, should be Bai Shi. When he left last year, he was still in position and was not implicated.

"That man is just a fool." Li Xiang sighed and said, "The imperial court sent a new Shibo envoy, and he even told me to leave Quanzhou, but he told me that the Shibo envoy's approach was wrong. In August last year, he was escorted to Beijing on the charge of the former prince's remnants, and he was arrested along with his wife and son."

"You are going to save him." Xie Jue said calmly and firmly.

"Yes, I'm going to save him, even if I put in all my money and my life, I will save him!" Li Xiang's tone was also calm, but with irreversible determination.

After looking at him for a long time, Xie Jue nodded and said, "Master Li, if you trust me, I will teach you a way to save them without your life or all your property."

Li Xiang was surprised, and then overjoyed.

Before opening his mouth, Xie Jue said again: "However, it is only to save their lives. It is impossible to let the lord come out innocent, so you have to make sure that the lord is willing to listen to you." It's not for the sake of Mingzhi, courting death."

Li Xiang: Uh, this is a bit difficult.

Seeing Li Xiang's embarrassed expression, Xie Jue smiled slightly, and said, "At most, Lord Bai will not be convicted, but after that, Lord Bai will hide his name."

Li Xiang thought for a while, and said: "I'll try to find a way, as long as he can be rescued, his little son is only ten years old! Tell me how to do it."

Xie Jue smiled slightly and said, "Has Master Li forgotten Liu Qi?"

"But, would Liu Qi be willing to help?" Li Xiang was overjoyed at first, and then asked with a bitter face.

Liu Qi said he was an imperial merchant, but he was actually just a businessman. I don't know how much background he has, but a businessman, who is willing to do such a risky thing.

"I just heard from you that that lord was escorted to Beijing last August?" Xie Jue asked after thinking for a moment.

Li Xiang nodded: "Yes, I went to ask my acquaintances in the yamen today. There is a mansion newspaper in the yamen. They said that they had not seen the news of Mr. Bai's conviction. I guess Mr. Bai should still be alive, so I want to enter Let's go to Beijing."

Xie Jue fell silent, circling the teacup with his fingers.

In fact, when he first heard Li Xiang say that Bai Shi was arrested in August last year, he knew it.

Three years ago, the prince's treason was actually an unwarranted crime, but since the emperor killed his own son, how could he let go of those ministers who were too close to the prince, so that the emperor even suspected his own son? Therefore, those ministers must die.

However, the emperor didn't want to be involved too much, because too much involvement would make people feel that the prince died unjustly.

Therefore, no one else moved, and the court still whitewashed the peace.

If Bai Shi hadn't submitted the letter, maybe the people above wouldn't move him, at most they would demote him and transfer him to a poor place during the three-year assessment.

It's a pity that Bai Shi just doesn't turn his head...

Being held by someone to rely on that matter.

But now, there should be several princes in the capital who are fighting for power, staring at each other wearing small shoes, and at this time, if you mention the prince too much, I'm afraid you will violate the taboo of the emperor.

Moreover, after all, Bai Shi is not the core figure of the Prince's family, and there are not many things that can be grasped by others.

Therefore, Bai Shi should be locked in a big prison now, and there is no way to convict him.

As long as you use a little ingenuity, you can fish people out.

It's just that what he has to consider is how not to get himself involved.

After turning his fingers around twice, Xie Jue said slowly: "Master Li, I still have some borneols and agarwood, you take [-] catties each to Beijing, go directly to Liu Qi, tell him your story, just say , you, Master Li, are not ungrateful, as long as you can save Mrs. Bai’s family, and say that you are willing to give him the spices at the official joint purchase price, you can also promise him that in the future, you will sell all the spices you get at sea to him at half price.”

Li Xiang's expression changed.

Xie Jue raised his hand slightly to stop him from speaking, and continued, "Liu Qi will help you out with an idea. Maybe that idea is rascal, but it's good if it can save someone."

The borneols that Xie Jue took off the boat were both second-class and first-class. Liu Qi gave the second-class 85 guan a catty, and the joint purchase price, the second-class was 55 guan a catty. Just like this, there is a gap of [-] guan .

Plus agarwood.

There is always a price difference of 80 guan.

The money cannot be used by Liu Qi to rehabilitate Bai Shi, but it is possible to get it alive.

For example, perform a feigned death, or simply drive Bai Shi crazy first, you can't force him to convict a lunatic, and then get rid of the relationship, and he can get out.

As long as people are alive, there is hope.

Li Xiang nodded and said: "I see, I bought the [-] spices, and I will pay as much as Liu Qi pays."

Xie Jue smiled slightly and said, "Master Li, it's easy to talk between us. I bought those fields of yours. As for the people, let's do Sanfoqi together again as you said, but I suggest you find a way to give away this garden. To the current Liangzhe Transshipment Envoy."

Seeing that Li Xiang's face changed slightly, Xie Jue continued: "You have to make people think that you are flattering the current transfer envoy."

Try to put aside the relationship with Bai Shi, in order to better protect Bai Shi.

(Of course it doesn't involve me)
Li Xiang pondered for a while, understood what Xie Jue meant, and sighed: "I know, in fact, my cousin liked here back then, but she wanted to be with me. Unfortunately, I didn't understand what she meant at that time. Now... "

He didn't accompany her, didn't protect her well, and didn't even avenge her. What's the point of keeping a garden now?
