Chapter 297

Fang Xie didn't know how Zhuang die left his sight. When he recovered, the team escorting the prisoners had passed a long way. He looked in the crowd, but he couldn't see the figure of the woman. Among the prisoners, there was sadness and despair.

Fang Xie subconsciously walked forward, trying to find the woman.

His arms were held by people. They were very broad and thick hands.

Fang Xie looked back and saw Wu Yidao he was going to see.

Wu Yi stretched out his hand from the crowd, took Fang Xie's arm, and then shook his head slightly. At this time, he struggled out of a very strange feeling. He was shocked at the bottom of his heart, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had no feelings with Zhuang die. Even if he sympathized with the woman, he could not be so confused. The trance just now almost made him do something impulsive.

If Wu hadn't helped him, maybe he would have rushed over at this time.

"I... what's the matter?"

He asked.

Wu Yidao pointed in a direction, and then walked out slowly. Fang Xie took a deep breath and squeezed out the crowd behind Wu. The two men walked behind the crowd and left the street leading to the entrance of the vegetable market and the gate of hell. Turning an alley, Wu Yidao walked into a teahouse. Fang Xie came to the teahouse. There is a house under construction opposite.

East 18th Street

Wu Yidao, dressed in an iconic royal blue robe, sat down in the window seat and casually ordered a pot of top-quality tea with four kinds of dried fruits. The owner of the teahouse knew Fang Xie but didn't know Wu Yidao. However, from Fang Xie's attitude, it was inferred that the identity of the advanced must be very bad, so he entertained in person and was very warm.

Fang Xie sat down opposite Wu Yidao and looked out of the window.

Opposite is the house under construction in full swing. I can't see the original decadent appearance. The dilapidated houses and courtyard walls have been pushed to the ground, and the residual bricks on the ground have come out. Since these days, the progress of the project has been very fast, and basically everything that should be cleaned has been cleaned up.

Early spring is a good time to start construction. The remuneration of craftsmen is higher than before, so their enthusiasm is also higher.

Wu Yidao looked at the busy scene over there and smiled: "I saw that place many years ago. I always wanted to buy it but didn't do it. It's not because of the rumors of immortals and ghosts, but because the street has become more and more deserted. Even though the land is very cheap, I can't afford to do any business. Even if the investment is small and there is no profit, it's meaningless. If I want to do no business here, I can't build a workshop You're dead. "

Fang Xie smiled: "I've been idle for so many years. Aren't you waiting for me to buy it?"

"But the money for the land is mine."

Wu Yi picked the corner of his mouth, and Fang Xie couldn't help but give him a white look: "you account for the majority of the income of the garment workshop."

"Forget it"

Wu Yi shook his head: "I really didn't see this small money. Now you already know that the decline of goods is your Majesty's industry. The reason why I dared to give you such a large sum of silver at the beginning is that I'm not afraid there are any loopholes in the book to be found out by your majesty, because the silver is not mine or the decline of goods."

"Whose silver is that?"

Wu Yidao nuzui toward the entrance of the vegetable market: "Your gold master has several days to be cut off... The money I gave you is the money I have to keep. All the officials who are under the king's Yi deserve the dividends. These people are very astonishing in their money in the world, and the amount of dividends they have has the final say. They are dead, and the capital is filled with the goods and becomes the money of their majesty. I left a part of that bonus and gave you a small part. "

"That's how the silver came..."

Fang Xie sighed, "you intercepted their silver before the incident. No wonder they want to kill you."

Wu Yidao shook his head indifferently: "anyway, they are sure to die. The silver in their house should be filled into the national treasury. The silver in the commercial firm belongs to your majesty. It would be foolish if I didn't leave some dividends. Therefore, you don't need to be grateful. This silver should be rewarded to you in private for your majesty."

"I wasn't grateful."

Fang Xie skimmed his mouth.

Wu Yi smiled: "in fact, I didn't say anything because I felt a little vulgar."

He took a sip from his tea cup and said, "you know your majesty doesn't want you to intervene in the matter of goods going down all over the world. You know that saving me may get you involved, but you still came... This silver is my thanks, although you haven't helped anything. Isn't it vulgar to say so?"

"I just like this vulgar."

Fang Xie smiled, but there was some helplessness around his mouth.

"What were you going to do just now?"

Wu Yidao saw the difference in his smile and asked in a solemn tone: "do you want to save the woman named Zhuang die from the prisoner's team? And then give her a bright future? Then she will be grateful to you and give birth to children and carry on the family line for you?"

"I... didn't think so much."

"She didn't deserve to die."

After seeing Fang Xie, Wu Yidao said faintly, "she told everything she knew in prison. Many torture tools in the prison of the Ministry of punishment are useless. Not only did she know and say much about Prince Yi, but also the dirty activities in the crescent building. Moreover... The origin of this woman is a little strange."

"She said she was an orphan from Jiangnan."

Fang Jiedao.

"Yes, she is an orphan."

Wu Yi looked at Fang Xie and asked: "Before entering the crescent tower, a family in Jiangnan saw her pitifully and took her in. The family had a daughter, a few years younger than her. She liked the family's own daughter very much. She coaxed her behind her back every day, just like her own sister taking care of her sister. Later, one day, her adoptive parents went out and told her to take care of her sister. When they came back, they were disappointed See Zhuang die who has become a tearful person. "

"The biological daughter of that family accidentally fell into the well and drowned."

Hearing this sentence, Fang Xie's pupils closed fiercely.

Seeing Fang Xie's expression, Wu Yi nodded slightly: "have you guessed?"

Fang Xie swallowed and spit, a little bitter.

"Because their own daughter died, the couple naturally loved and cherished her more. They took care of her in their hands and never asked her to help when working in the field. When she was 13 years old, she was cheated by a Jianghu guest passing by their village, promised to take her around the world, and then left her in the wilderness. When she was desperate, she begged for a fare with her body as a fare A merchant took her back to his village, but the merchant took her to DIDU and sold her. "

Wu Yi sighed: "these are what she said. When she was in prison, she told everything she knew like crazy. She even wanted to change her body for a way of life and begged the jailer to let her escape."

"Is she pathetic?"

Wu Yi asked.

Fang Xie nodded.

"Does she deserve to die?"

Wu asked again.

Fang Xie was silent for a long time and nodded again.

"She said you were an accomplice of Prince Yi."

Wu put this sentence together at the end.

Fang Xie took a deep breath, then smiled: "she has been cheating for the rest of her life, and she is still cheating at last. Maybe she cheated herself when she looked at me and said those words."

……

……

"I'm not looking for you because of Zhuang die."

Wu Yidao looked out of the window with a lazy tone: "I just happened to pass by and see it, but I didn't expect that your mind can be so fragile sometimes. Zhuo Buyi also praised you as the most determined person he has ever seen, and even his illusion may not have an effect on you. Now it seems that Zhuo Buyi has gone away."

"Maybe"

Fang Xie shook his head.

When he saw Zhuang die, his heart was really fragile. Maybe it was because he had been recalling the warmth of his previous life, so that the coldness brought to him by the world was temporarily forgotten.

"If you are so easy to make mistakes, you'd better not go to the southwest to see Luo Yao."

Wu Yidao took his eyes back from the window, looked at Fang Xie and said, "Your Majesty asked you to go to Yongzhou. Do you really think it's just because of the long princess's marriage?"

"Someone once told me that your majesty believes in Luo Yao."

Fang Xie answered.

Wu Yi smiled and said coldly, "no one should tell you who your majesty believes in. Others are just speculating about your Majesty's mind. The reason why someone told you this before is that you haven't reached the height of knowing another aspect. In other words, an insignificant little man is not qualified to know any secrets."

Fang Xie was silent. He knew that Wu Yidao was right.

"I don't mean to tell you what Luo Yao is thinking. I want you to know what you should see... Where are the soldiers coming from when your majesty wants to march to the west? The garrison of Gyeonggi can be adjusted by 30% at most. There is never less than 200000 troops in Chang'an important place. If you adjust 30%, the garrison of Gyeonggi will be less than 200000. Other guards The soldiers have their own duties. Your majesty can't transfer all the soldiers, so you can't transfer the county soldiers and the box soldiers of the royal palace. "

"Luo Yao has been expanding his army all these years. There are no less than 300000 left avant-garde soldiers! Your majesty wants to use them, but I don't know if Luo Yao will be dissatisfied. If you force Luo Yao, do you think this person will do anything too much? You know that the control of the imperial court in the southwest where Luo Yao is located is unimaginable lower than that in the northwest where Li Yuanshan is located. Isn't Luo Yao Like Li Yuanshan, what have you prepared in the southwest? "

Wu Yi sighed: "Your Majesty is worried not only about the happiness of the long princess, but also about Luo Yao's taking the opportunity to separate the southwest roads of the great Sui Dynasty. Luo Yao is domineering in the southwest. The four officials are like his family ministers. His control over the southwest is more worrying than Li Yuanshan's control over the northwest."

"Your Majesty wants to use Luo Yao's soldiers as one of them. It's the other to investigate whether he has anti heart."

"If so, the court would rather give up the northwest than the southwest."

Wu Yi drank all the tea in the cup: "in the bitter and cold land of Northwest China, the imperial court needs to dispatch assistance every year. But once the rich land of fish and rice in Southwest China is separated by traitors..."

"Do you know why your majesty sent you?"

Without waiting for Fang Xie's answer, Wu Yidao said seriously, "because you are a low status, because you are a newcomer to the imperial court, because you will make Luo Yao despise you... Only when your opponent despises you can you have a chance."

"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm dying to go to the southwest?"

Fang Xie sighed: "if Luo Yao really had a bad heart, would I be the one who cut off his head and offered sacrifices to the flag?"

"If you're unlucky, yes."

Wu Yi patted Fang Xie on the shoulder, pointed to the opposite house and said solemnly, "don't worry, if you die, your industry is very small, but I will take care of it for you."

Fang Xie said, "I don't have any guilt and guilt about spending your money now, thank you. Don't you have any more words to remind and give advice on my upcoming adventure of life and death?"

Wu Yidao stood up to leave, smiled and said, "good luck, nothing else."
