Infinite Script Killing

The capital city is the capital of the world. From the perspective of outsiders, there are more than three capital cities.

If you pay more attention to things, there will be more officials and rich businessmen.

Pay attention to this thing... To put it bluntly, it is caused by too many rich people making trouble.

Just like the bowl of plain noodles in front of Mr. Chen.

The white noodles don't even have a layer of marinade, but the cost of making this dish is only two taels of silver.

crazy? ?

If you take two taels of silver to a roadside noodle stall and tell the boss to cook white noodles for two taels of silver, the boss will wonder if you are trying to commit suicide.

This is the truth, but this plain noodles is not something you can eat on the streets outside.

This noodle is made from fine chickens, bled and dried, ground into powder and mixed into white flour.

The soup used to cook the noodles looks like boiled water.

However, this soup is actually a broth made from more than ten kinds of ingredients and large bones, fed slowly over a slow fire.

It looks as clear as water, but in fact it tastes delicious. Let alone cooking noodles with this soup, if you blanch a piece of Chinese cabbage, it is also extremely delicious.

What Mr. Chen likes to eat most is this bowl of plain noodles. He happily slurps it into his mouth, no matter what toppings are sprinkled on it, and what other things are sprinkled on it are just a waste.

While we were having a good time, we heard someone from outside reporting that our future uncle-in-law, Ma Hongwen, was here.

When he heard about Ma Hongwen, Chen Yuanwai's heart skipped a beat. To be honest, he was not sure about this uncle. After all, the name Ma Hongwen was famous in the capital.

Otherwise, at such an old age, why wouldn't they even have a matchmaker at their doorstep?

Mr. Chen was willing to marry off his own girl. He seemed to be a noble man, and was often used as a target.

But in my heart, I just want to keep the stability of the whole family.

After all, he had offended this boy in front of the Peach Blossom Temple. The old god seemed to be praising him for his good luck and meeting a noble person that day.

However, if you listen carefully and think about it, you will understand that this is not a compliment, but a warning.

After much thought, Chen Yuanwai gritted his teeth and gave away the apple of his eye. If he had a choice, how could he push Miss Qing into the fire pit.

Facts also proved that his choice was correct. It didn't take long for Ma Qi to become the admiral of the Nine Gates.

Coupled with the power of the Xiang family, these two families have joined forces, one controls the imperial army, and the other controls the world's soldiers and horses. I am afraid that no one except the current emperor and the empress dowager Cisheng can offend these two families.

So when Chen Yuanwai heard that Ma Hongwen was coming, he felt conflicted and happy at the same time. He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and went out to greet him.

Fortunately, the stinky face that worried Chen Yuanwai surprisingly did not appear on Ma Hongwen's face today. Not only did it not appear, Ma Hongwen also bowed to him respectfully, which made Chen Yuanwai feel flattered.

Not only did Xu Tong smile cordially, but he also brought a large cart of gifts to Mr. Chen. People who didn't know better thought he was here to propose marriage.

Chen Yuanwai hurried forward to greet him, took Xu Tong's hand and walked into the house cordially.

The maid served fragrant tea, and Mr. Chen couldn't help but ask for help.

After finishing the polite words, Xu Tong didn't show any politeness and directly explained his intention.

When he heard that Xu Tong wanted to borrow money, Chen Yuanwai's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm and he asked with a smile, "I wonder how much my nephew wants to borrow?"

"Borrow as much as you can."

Xu Tong held the tea bowl and said with a smile.

The corner of Chen Yuanwai's mouth twitched a few times, and his words were more powerful than a lion speaking directly.

You don't know how much you can borrow. If you borrow less, your uncle will lose his temper, but he can do anything.

After much thought, Chen Yuanwai was a well-known and wealthy businessman in the capital, and he had already made a mental decision in a short period of time.

"Hehehe, they are all from my family, borrowing them is too polite."

Then he called the accountant and asked in front of Xu Tong: "How much cash is there in the house?"

The accountant casually took out the account book. As Mr. Accountant, as long as the master calls himself, it must be about money, and the account book must be carried with him.

Open the ledger and take a look.

"Master, our family currently has two hundred and fifty-four thousand three hundred and twenty-seven taels of silver and twelve coins."

After finishing speaking, he put the account book on the table.

The accounts above are written clearly and clearly, which shows that the professionalism of Mr. Chen Yuanwai, the accountant, is beyond doubt.

"Is there any payment due this year?"

"Yes, our silk and satin factory needs to allocate 300 taels of silver, the bank needs to allocate 3,000 taels of silver, and the monthly payment of the workers at the port needs to be settled, which is about 200 taels..."

The accountant marked the places that needed to be allocated one by one.

A rough calculation shows that almost four thousand taels of silver will be allocated.

"Okay, allocate the remaining 50,000 taels now. I need it urgently."

After saying that, he ignored the horrified expression of the accountant and turned to Xu Tong and said: "My dear nephew, we only have so much cash in cash. You should take the emergency first. When next spring comes, I will take back the silver from several places. I can still make more money." It’s no problem to scrape together tens of thousands taels for you.”

I have to say that Chen Yuanwai's approach is not clever, but it is more straightforward. Look, I have shown you how much money my family has. Now I have lent you almost all the money in my family.

Who wouldn't be grateful?

Even if Xu Tong could tell that Chen Yuanwai's act was deliberately done for him to see, he still couldn't turn a blind eye as he should cooperate with his performance.

Immediately he congratulated: "Thank you, my father-in-law."

The word "father-in-law" made Chen Yuanwai instantly feel that the money was worth spending.

The next process was much simpler, including eating and listening to music. During this period, Xu Tong's young lady from the Chen family also came to accompany him. Xu Tong looked at it seriously this time and thought to himself: "This guy Ma Hongwen is really destined to die." OK."

Although there are no details in the script, judging from Ma Hongwen's situation, as long as the Ma family relies on the Xiang family, even if the Datong Dynasty dies, the Ma Hongwen family will still live happily.

It can be said that in troubled times, a sure winner in life.

"master!"

At this moment, a servant came over and whispered a few words in Chen's ear. Although the voice was very low, it could not be hidden from Xu Tong's ears.

"Master, something happened outside. I don't know what happened. There was a sudden rat trouble. Fortunately, there was no damage to our house. But I heard that many granaries were stolen, and even the chicken feather house was also damaged. There was a commotion, and some people were bitten by rats."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanwai just nodded and sent the person away.

Xu Tong continued to listen to the music as if he was at ease.

Only when it was getting late did he stand up and say goodbye.

"Master, you gave him so much money, this money..."

Mr. Accountant waited for Xu Tong to leave, then walked up to Mr. Chen with a grimace and complained.

"What are you afraid of?"

Chen Yuanwai curled his lips nonchalantly: "His father asked me for nearly 800,000 taels of silver last time. I have no intention of getting such a lot of money back. Fifty thousand taels is nothing."

When the accountant heard this, he immediately lost his temper.

The most powerful man in the family, how could he dare to say anything wrong? He just feels sorry for her. Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount of money.

Seeing the bitter look on Mr. Accountant's face, Chen Yuanwai smiled instead: "For one tael of silver, you can go to Gongdelin and order a table of food, but if you use one tael of silver to buy a knife, you can eat it every day." Got free meals.”

When the accountant heard this, he was thoughtful for a moment.

"But this knife... is too expensive."

"Good goods are not cheap but cheap goods are not good. A peerless knife is worth it no matter how expensive it is. When the world becomes chaotic and you don't have a knife, you will just become meat on the chopping board."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Mr. Accountant nodded and walked out holding the account book. After walking outside the door, he shook his head and smiled: "Can the Datong Dynasty still be in chaos? I think the master is really old."

On the other side, when Xu Tong returned home, it was already late at night.

The doorman should have fallen asleep at this point. Xu Tong could have just climbed over the wall and entered, but he still knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened.

It's just that the person who opened the door was not the Ma family's guy, but the old man Wenyuan, the god of the house.

"came back."

"Well, I'm back."

"Come in first."

Xu Tong walked in the door and followed the old gentleman.

"You were not at home a few days ago. Where did you go?"

"I went out on business with Mr. Gong Jing."

Xu Tong replied. As he spoke, he walked to the front, pushed open the door of the private school, walked into the room and was about to light the lamp. Behind him, Mr. Wenyuan frowned: "No, I always feel that the light is too dazzling recently, so I won't light it." stop."

But Xu Tong didn't stop, he still took out the match and lit the lamp.

There is a sentence in his mouth: "Yesterday the bright moon shined on the old people, for whom does the new light shine at night."

"Huh??"

Mr. Wenyuan was startled and couldn't help but mutter a few words repeatedly: "Whose poem is this? Have you never heard of it?"

"I don't know either. I happened to see it written like this in a book."

As Xu Tong spoke, he closed the lampshade, and a dim light suddenly illuminated the room. Mr. Wenyuan looked at the lamp and couldn't help but turn his head.

Xu Tong took a deep breath. After all, the most important part of his plan still lies with this old gentleman.

After thinking about the lines in his mind, he quickly entered the state of mind.

Mr. Wenyuan was still wondering where the poem just came from, when he suddenly heard faint sobbing coming from behind him.

Looking back, I saw Xu Tong lowered his head and his shoulders were shaking slightly, and occasionally he could hear sobs.

"Son, you man, what are you crying for?"

Mr. Wenyuan sat down with his back to the light, took Xu Tong's arm and expressed concern.

"gentlemen!"

Xu Tong raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop:

"That day when my husband called me, I just thought it was a hallucination after drinking, and it was caused by missing my husband too much.

It wasn't until I heard Mr. Gongjing talk about the underworld that I realized that although Mr. Gongjing was dead, his spirit was immortal.

Now that he is a god in heaven and earth, although Hongwen is happy, he knows that if he enters the divine way, taking a step back will lead to an abyss, so how dare he hide it from him. "

"Um!"

Wenyuan was startled, and immediately his face darkened.

Seeing this, Xu Tong hurriedly said, "Sir, if you don't believe it, look over there."

Wenyuan followed the direction of Xu Tong's finger and turned around, only to see a huge mirror standing there. Under the light, she saw only Xu Tong's figure in the mirror, but she did not see herself.

When Mr. Wenyuan saw this, his eyes widened. He walked to the mirror in disbelief and saw that there was no reflection of himself in the empty mirror.

There was a thunder in my mind, and I heard the sound of the suona and bursts of crying. The image of myself lying quietly in the coffin flashed in my eyes.

He sat down on the chair and was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized: "I am dead!"
