Seeing that it was Chen Qiu, a trace of panic flashed on Ba Yang's face, and then he sat up straight and beckoned: "Master Chen is here, come and have a drink." Yanu, don't beckon Chen Ye to sit yet. ”

Chen Qiu's eyes were red, and he stared at Bayan and said, "Bayan, when will you pay me back?" ”

Bayan had already settled down, and said with a smile: "Master Chen, what I said is this, this money was invested in the Eastern Crusade of the Great Army, and now that the Great Army has been defeated, this money will naturally not come back." Master Chen, your eldest brother has a relationship with the queen, why don't you let him go to the queen? ”

Chen Qiu was so choked that he couldn't make a sound, and Yanujiao smiled and pulled him to sit down. Bayan poured a glass of wine and handed it to Chen Qiu, and sighed: "Master Chen, will you and I cheat you out of your money after many years of friendship, this investment is indeed an accident, who would have thought that the army would be defeated." Don't hide it from Chen Ye, although I can't compare to Chen Ye you, but I also invested all my family property into it, and now my sleeves are empty, I haven't eaten the last meal, I don't have the next meal compared to Chen Ye, you still have Uncle Chen, and you will recover in two years. This is too false, how dare you come here to spend it without money, Chen Qiu hid half of the money he invested in Bayang, and he held 100,000 silver coins, which was enough to squander in this life.

Under the persuasion of Yanu's coquettish words, Chen Qiu drank a glass of wine, opened his mouth to take the grapes stuffed by Yanu, and his face softened. Ba Yang looked at Chen Qiu with a little disdain, this Second Master Chen was actually a straw bag, if it weren't for his eldest brother's name and the strange goods in his hand, he would have been swallowed up and there would be no scum left.

Luo Na became the queen, the power of the Tule family leaned towards the opposition, the third son of Tulebu, the eldest son Tuleqing, the second son Tulean, and the owner of Bayan, Tulezan, was the youngest, but the official position was the highest, and he was the prime minister of Shasu Kingdom. As the saying goes, a person who has attained the Tao and a chicken dog ascends to heaven, and the people of the Tule family are all over the court, and the most striking thing is that Lang Luo, the guard of the Tule family, is now the general in charge of the army of Shasu State.

Bayan was originally not a member of the Tule family, but after Rona became the queen, he entrusted the way to the minister's mansion as a steward, and because of his diligence and dedication, he was gradually promoted to the second housekeeper. Of course, Bayan will not be satisfied with the butler in the prime minister's mansion, he wants to become a member of the court, and of course his hope must be pinned on the body of the great minister Tu Lezan.

As the second housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bayan vaguely knew that Prince Longgai was born to the queen and a Zheng person, and the big boss Chen of Xiang Yuxing was the eyes and ears of the Zheng people who stayed in Xinyi City, the queen took good care of the big boss Chen, and the Tule family often corresponded with him, Bayan even saw the big boss Chen and the general Langluo drinking together several times, and those dignitaries who wanted to fight the idea of Xiang Yuxing returned in frustration, which made Bayan more and more sure that the rumors were true. Boss Chen couldn't get stammered, and later Chen Qiu came, often haunting taverns and flower buildings, and Bayang soon became friends with Chen Erye, and the relationship established by eating, drinking, and having fun was sweeter than honey.

As a steward, the most important thing is to pay attention to the master's every move, Bayan found that the master seemed to dislike seeing the prince Longai getting older, this kind of thinking is easy to understand, the queen does not care about political affairs, the master is in power, and it is almost the same to say that it is a hidden lord of the country. When the prince is in power, this power will be withdrawn, and of course the prime minister will not. ”

Waiting beside the prime minister, Bayan found that the master had repeatedly persuaded the queen to postpone the return to the prince, but the queen was a little hesitant. This time, the Rong Mi National Alliance sent troops to Zheng Guo, and the prime minister tried his best to push it, and it seemed that the queen had a little dispute, and Bayan faintly felt that the prime minister seemed to want to cut off the Zheng people through the eastward invasion.

The money and food for sending troops were insufficient, and Bayan came up with the idea of raising money from the rich people to double it after the war, and with the consent of Tu Lezan, Bayan first found Chen Qiu and got 10,000 gold coins from him and handed it to the prime minister. Tu Lezan sneered: "Xiang Yuxing is really rich, just one person can take out ten thousand gold coins, if Boss Chen makes a move, there will always be one hundred and eighty thousand." ”

Ba Yang is good at listening, and he can hear his dissatisfaction with Xiang Yuxing from the words of the prime minister, of course such a good opportunity cannot be missed, and Ba Yang took away 10,000 gold coins from Chen Qiu in the name of fundraising, he is almost certain that the prime minister will not pay back the money to Xiang Yuxing, and he will definitely not care about the great minister who benefits from it.

The old man Tule passed away six years ago, and now the Tule family is the prime minister, and at the beginning of this year, the prime minister invited the two uncles to come, and Bayan took the opportunity to send tea to listen to a few words, and was scared into a cold sweat. The Great Prime Minister wanted to take advantage of the victory of the Eastern Crusade to seek the regent, and then depose Longai for reasons that his identity was unknown, and in the future, the Tule family would establish himself as the lord of the Shasu Kingdom.

After the fright, Bayan secretly thought about the possibility of Tulejia becoming the lord of Shasu country, the court and the whole court, including the army, were controlled by Tulejia, as long as he was ruthless to deal with the queen, the key was the people's will and foreign interference, especially the Qianglan country would not sit back and watch Tulejia usurp the throne, listen to the words of the prime minister and want to take it slowly, and take ten to twenty years to achieve the goal. Thinking about deposing the prince, Xiang Yuxing will definitely not be able to stay at that time, Ba Yang is eager to guide Chen Qiu to steal more silver, but Chen Qiu is suspicious of him and refuses to be fooled again.

Things soon changed, the Western Regions coalition army was defeated, the general Langluo came back with the defeated army, Bayan saw that the face of the great minister was gloomy, and he was angry at every turn, and a few people who didn't know the severity of the matter touched the mold and were killed. After losing the battle to ransom the prisoners, the treasury lost a lot of money, and the Rongmi Kingdom and the Huli Kingdom each found an excuse to extort a sum of money, and now the treasury is empty, and the big minister excuses that there is no money to ask the queen to stop the prince's pro-government ceremony.

The lord is worried about the ministers, Bayan looked at the drunk Chen Qiu, and felt that he could move his mind from Xiangyu's action, if he could take Xiangyu Xing down, the prime minister would definitely reward him, and a city lord should be able to get it. Thinking of this, Bayan smiled and said, "Master Chen, don't get drunk, go back and let the uncle bump into you and scold you again." ”

Chen Qiu scolded and said: "My brother won't care about me, he entertains friends at home and doesn't let me get involved." ”

Bayan asked, "Who is it?" Don't let Chen Ye know? ”

Chen Qiu was very drunk, and replied casually: "It's Zheng Guoren, and all of them don't look like good people." ”

Bayan rolled his eyes, he learned from the Great Minister Tulezan that the Chen soldiers of the Weiche State intended to invade Shasu on the border, and the general Langluo led 30,000 troops to the city of Geshalie to garrison, and the court sent Zuo Yichang Waha to the city of Boshi to mediate, and sent an envoy to the Qianglan State to ask for reinforcements. Ba Yang was thinking about whether the prime minister would take the opportunity to take down Xiangyuxing and fight again, and the prime minister was so worried about money and food that he couldn't eat well these days.

asked Yanu to pour Chen Qiu a glass of wine, and watching Chen Qiu stagger, Bayan smiled and said: "Second Master Chen, I have a way to make you the big boss of Xiangyuxing, I don't know if you want to." ”

Xiangyuxing is the top trading house in Shasu country, and only Xiangyuxing sells perfumes that are hard to find, Yanu's eyes lit up, leaning on Chen Han's arms and said coquettishly: "Master, in the future, the slave's perfume will look for you." ”

Chen Qiu touched Yanu's body, sprayed wine and said, "Xiangyu has become a master, you can take a bath with perfume." Yanu is good, don't move, let Ye Xiang one. ”

Ba Yang looked at Chen Qiu and Yanu frolicking coldly, his eyes flashed with a cold light, it was not good to move Xiang Yuxing, in case he slapped the horse's legs, the horse's hooves would trample himself to pieces, let Chen Qiu's straw bag be in front, what was there for him to bear, Xiang Yuxing was too big, he couldn't swallow it, if he swallowed it, he would always reward himself with some residues.

Signaling Yanu to withdraw with someone, Bayan looked at Chen Qiu who was crooked on the pillow and said, "Master Chen, you have lost 20,000 gold coins, Brother Ling will definitely not spare you." ”

Chen Qiu's wine sobered up for three points, and scolded: "Lao Tzu fell for you, you are embarrassed to say that if my eldest brother beats me to death, I will always pull you on your back." ”

Ba Yang poured a cup of hot tea for Chen Qiu to sober up, and said: "Master Chen, there is a saying in your country, no poison is not a husband, instead of letting your eldest brother beat you to death, it is better to find a way to take away Xiangyuxing, if the entire Xiangyuxing is yours, are you still worried about having no money to spend?" "Tule started as a businessman, and many of the slaves in the family can speak Zheng language, Bayan is smart and studious, and knows the languages of several countries.

This is the second time that Bayan has talked about Xiang Yuxing, Chen Qiu heard that Bayan didn't seem to be joking, drank the hot tea, sobered up a little, and sneered: "You talk about how to take Xiang Yuxing over, don't look at my brother's fat ball, I really don't have an opponent to fight with him." ”

Ba Yang didn't know the details of Chen Han, and he was very disdainful of Chen Qiu's cowardice, and said with a smile on his face: "Just now Chen Ye said that there was a gang of Zheng Ke at home, and now the city is arresting the spies, if Chen Ye goes to the city defense yamen to report Brother Ling's secret adultery and plot misdeeds, then Xiangyu Xing will not become Chen Ye's yours?" ”

Chen Qiu broke out in a cold sweat, shook his head again and again, and said, "No, then won't my brother be finished, I can't hurt my brother." ”

Picking up the grapes, Bayan peeled the skin slowly and methodically, and said: "Chen Ye, think about it, you can't hide the matter of stealing 20,000 gold coins for a long time, once you are found by Brother Ling, you will have to peel off the skin even if you don't die, and afterwards Brother Ling will definitely send you back to Zheng Guo, Chen Ye's brotherhood touches me deeply, but I don't know if Brother Ling is like Chen Ye." ”

Bayan's words were like poison in fine wine eroding Chen Han's heart, and he subconsciously picked up the wine jug on the table, threw off the lid and poured it into his mouth. There was a voice full of temptation in Bayang's ears, "Chen Ye, if you don't want to harm Brother Ling, you might as well say that Brother Ling was also deceived when you make a lawsuit, I will come forward to intercede at that time, Brother Ling can be released after a little hardship, and then Xiang Yuxing will become Chen Ye You, Chen Ye don't forget my benefits, give me some reward." ”

With a "clang", Chen Qiu threw the wine jug in his hand to the ground, his red eyes were like a demon possessed, "It's done." ”
