I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 421 For your own good

 Unless one day he has no choice but to offend Ye Qiu and others.

 Otherwise, it’s best to be polite.

Otherwise, if you rely on the Grand Master’s methods and leave some hidden wounds on yourself, you won’t even know how you died.

 “Commands are out of the question,”

Ye Qiu put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "You must have heard what the prince said just now. Do you know what it means?"

Jiao Zhong was very surprised.

 I didn’t expect Ye Qiu to care so much about Ye Chen!

 Moreover, I will also ask myself!

 This is something I didn’t expect.

He thought for a while and said, "Master Ye's apprentice Tian Sixi is engaged in development outside the city. Master Ye Chen invested one million taels of silver for it yesterday, saying that he would actively support Prince He's strategy of large-scale development outside the city."

“He invested one million taels of silver in Tian Sixi?”

Ye Qiu frowned and said, "You are so brave."

 He has already broken up with the Ye family and rarely inquires about the Ye family's affairs.

 However, he knew the situation of the Ye family. Although he had made some money as a supplier to Sanhe over the years, it was still very difficult to come up with one million in cash at once.

 The most important thing is that if there is a loss, the Ye family will be in a situation of no return.

 He doesn't think his brother is a fool.

 Just making this decision is a bit confusing.

Jiao Zhong smiled and said, "Master Ye Chen is certainly not stupid. The prince said that what he did was money laundering."

 “Money laundering?”

 Ye Qiu is very unfamiliar with this word.

Jiao Zhong explained, "Master Ye Chen is now the patriarch of the Ye family, and he does everything himself. However, the behavior of the elders in the Ye family always makes people feel chilling. Ye Chen naturally wants to set up his own business one day.

But the Ye family has a huge business, and Ye Chen cannot be happy to share it equally with other clan members.

So he took out the Ye family's money by investing in real estate. Finally, he recorded the family's money as a loss in the accounts and secretly put it into his own pocket.

Tian Sixi is Mr. Ye's apprentice. He will naturally agree to all Mr. Ye Chen's requests and there is no reason why he should not cooperate. "

"I see,"

 Ye Qiu nodded and said, "It seems that you know quite a lot."

Jiao Zhong smiled and said, "How do I know so much? I just repeated what the prince said."

Ye Qiu thought for a while and said, "Then the prince is not satisfied with Ye Chen?"

"of course not,"

Jiao Zhong smiled and said, "The prince is just surprised that Mr. Ye Chen is so smart and has learned how to launder money."

 Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "Not good, not good."

Jiao Zhong smiled and said, "What do you mean, Master?"

 I can make a trip for you. "

Ye Qiu said loudly, "If I see him tomorrow, I will definitely kill him."

Jiao Zhong wanted to say something else, but found that Ye Qiu had drifted away.

 The curfew time in Ankang City is coming soon. Except for the lively brothels, everything in the city is very quiet.

No one dares to walk casually on the street, otherwise he will be caught by the Jingying or Ankang City police, and he will inevitably be slapped with a stick, or even be sent to a labor camp!

 The only exception is outside Ankang City.

In order to promote the development outside Ankang City, Prince He personally ordered that there will be no curfew in the new city less than five miles away from the city wall of Ankang City!

 The so-called new city is not considered a "city" in the eyes of people in Ankang City.

Although the houses are lined up in rows and the streets are wider than those in Ankang City, how can it be considered a "city" because there are no walls?

 In the eyes of many people, any place without walls is considered a "market town" and "countryside".

No matter how beautifully built and beautiful this place is, no one from Ankang City who has experienced the war disaster will buy a house here and settle down here.

 But the Sanhe people don’t care.

Baiyun City has no walls, but it is still a big city.

 More importantly, they were used to cities without walls.

Here they can come and leave as they please without any restrictions.

It’s like being in a city, where you are restricted everywhere and have no freedom.

If you want to bring goods out of the city, you have to open the city gate.

 So, most of the people here are Sanhe people.

Then the Jingying camp began to be stationed here, schools were built here, banks were opened here, and the supply of houses here began to exceed demand.

 There are more and more Sanhe people here.

 The nobles and wealthy people in Ankang City have found out something about it.

The Southern Barbarians from Sanhe all know how to carry a sedan chair. They claim to be knowledgeable, so how can they not give Prince He face?

 Many people have invested money to buy mansions here, but they are not worried about the security here, so not many people live here.

However, with the passage of time, merchants are no longer willing to enter the city and settle here directly.

 Brothels, inns, and theaters are becoming more and more lively, and there is no curfew here, and the lights are brightly lit for miles around.

Ye Chen sat on the chair holding the wine glass and glanced at the drunken Tian Sixi sitting opposite him, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Tian, ​​your business is getting bigger and bigger. It is said that both the prince and the prince have noticed it. , the future is limitless.”

 “Where, where,”

After hearing this, Tian Sixi suddenly opened his eyes and waved his hand towards the woman who was rubbing his shoulders behind him. When the woman stepped back, she said with a smile, "I can't compare to you, young master. My master is the prince." The famous person next to you, he is just a biological brother like you. To put it bluntly, as long as you don’t offend Mr. He Jixiang, Chen Desheng and other elders, who in Ankang City would dare not give you face? "

 The envy in the words cannot be concealed.

 He was born a bandit.

It is true that Ye Qiu is his master, but Ye Qiu has to look at him seriously, right?

 His master did not kill him, which was a blessing for him!

How dare he expect his master to take care of him?

 Ye Chen is different!

 That's his master's biological brother!

To put it bluntly, as long as Ye Chen doesn't rebel, no one will dare to touch him!

Have a lifetime of fun!

 “Shopkeeper Tian’s words are very polite,”

Ye Chen sat up straight and poured wine for him. He smiled and said, "My brother is also your master. You talk like this, as if he has a small belly. My brother will probably be unhappy after hearing this."

If Tian Sixi hadn't come forward on his own initiative, he would never have imagined that Tian Sixi would be his brother's apprentice!

 And his brother was actually a “sword-wielding scholar” who was once famous all over the world!

 “Don’t dare, don’t dare,”

Tian Sixi smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not what I meant. In terms of closeness, naturally you are closer to my master.

 I am his apprentice. The master asked the apprentice to die, and the apprentice had to die. "

If he refuses to die obediently, according to his master's temperament, his whole family will have to die.

 He suddenly regretted getting married!

Not only did he have a wife and concubines, but he also had children!

 His children are all his concerns.

 For the sake of his children, he is willing to die.

 None of this is a big deal.

“Tian shopkeeper, come here, I won’t say much more, I’ll keep everything in mind.”

 Ye Chen raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"please!"

Tian Sixi also drank the wine in the glass, then emptied the glass with the rim of the glass facing down.

Ye Chen said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Tian, ​​I will arrange for the delivery of 150,000 taels of silver tomorrow. Please count it by then."

"this"

Tian Sixi said in confusion, "Didn't we agree a few days ago that we can just go through the motions? What do you mean by sending money here? I'm really confused by you."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's not the Ye family who joins the team this time, but me, Ye Chen. Naturally, I, Ye Chen, can make real money by joining the team."

"ah"

Tian Sixi frowned for a long time and did not react. After a while, she smiled and said, "In this case, thanks to Mr. Ye for being so considerate, Mr. Ye can rest assured that he and the prince are right. Real estate is violence, and there is no possibility of losing money!"

In a few days, Mr. He Jixiang will send all the prisoners here to undergo labor reform. By then, we will not even have to pay for labor, and we will only have to take care of two meals a day. "

“Master Bian Jing is in Ankang City, so he doesn’t have to be a prisoner of labor camp to build roads?”

 Ye Chen said in confusion.

 “Building roads?”

Tian Sixi smiled and said, "That requires money. The poor people in the household department can run away with rats. These days, Prince Yong'an and the prince's orders are confiscating homes everywhere. If we can get the money, this road can almost be repaired." "

Ye Chen said curiously, "Both Qi Yong and He Jin are now under the law. One is the prime minister of a country, and the other has power over the whole country. How come there is no money?"

Tian Sixi burped loudly, then shook his head and said, "How can we know this?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Tian, ​​you're not drunk yet."

 Speaking, he continued to pour wine for him.

Tian Sixi looked around and said cautiously, "Master Ye, you are my master's younger brother, so naturally you are not an outsider, so I will tell you the truth.

Mr. Xie Zan, as you know, he went straight to Jizhou as soon as he arrived in Ankang City. The meat sent by Pork Rong was poisoned a few days ago, and three of his employees died.

 Some people say that this is the work of Jizhao'an. In fact, you and I both know in our hearts that if it is really the matter of Jizhao'an, it is impossible for Mr. Xie Zan to come to Jizhou in person. "

Ye Chen said in a deep voice, "Jizhou is He Jin's hometown."

Tian Sixi nodded and said, "Yes, after the officers and soldiers of the Military and Horse Division were taken away by Master Xie Zan, he and the prince established a new patrol office in Ankang City, and Jiang Yi directly served as the first infantry commander.

Now this Ankang City is our own. "

Ye Chen smiled and said, "You have said so much, but I still don't understand."

Tian Sixi said, "After the prince entered the capital, Pan Duo took charge of the imperial guards. He Jin was allowed to leave Ankang City and go to Jizhou. Pan Duo's people were watching.

It goes without saying that Pan Duo is loyal to the prince, but the people under him dare not say it, otherwise Qi Peng would not go directly to the capital this time to personally cleanse the imperial guards and shadows. "

 “He Jin is not dead?”

Ye Chen frowned.

 “I don’t dare to say this,”

Tian Sixi smiled and said, "I don't know whether He Jin is dead or not, but it's too abnormal."

 “You two, you are too noisy if you are still up in the middle of the night.”

Tian Sixi choked and drew his sword.

Although he is not a high-ranking official, the mansion is heavily guarded and no cat or dog can break in at will.

At this moment, someone suddenly appeared. There was only one reason for this: the other person was highly skilled in martial arts.

Just as he turned around, he heard Ye Chen say, "It turns out to be Commander Jiao. I haven't seen you for a long time. If you don't mind, please sit down and have a drink together. What do you think?"

Tian Sixi then raised his head and found that the person who suddenly appeared in front of him was Jiao Zhong, the commander of the palace guards.

He knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Commander-in-Chief!

 The fact that an adult can come to think about the little man's house really makes him shine. "

 Ye Chen’s biological brother is Ye Qiu. You don’t have to kneel down when you see Jiao Zhong.

 But not Tian Sixi!

 He was born a bandit, so he had to perform meritorious deeds for his crimes. How could he dare to act wantonly in front of Jiao Zhong!

Jiao Zhong ignored him and looked directly at Ye Chen and said, "Master Ye, you have too many things to worry about these days."

After Ye Chen heard this, he leaned over and saluted and said, "Thank you, Commander Jiao, for your kindness."

 He is Ye Qiu’s younger brother!

Jiao Zhong dared to talk to him like this, it must have been entrusted by his brother.

Jiao Zhong said with a smile, "It is a good thing for Mr. Ye to do business, but he is still young after all. As soon as the summer in the north is over, the weather has become cold, and the ground is freezing. If something happens to Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye must be in trouble." Must be heartbroken."

“There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having children.”

Ye Chen suddenly sighed and said, "If something happens to me, I will be the sinner of the Ye family."

No matter how stupid he was, he still understood the meaning of Jiao Zhong's words.

Jiao Zhong smiled and said, "Young Master Ye's words are very kind."

 “I will go back to Sanhe now.”

 Ye Chen looked at Jiao Zhong while saying this.

Jiao Zhong nodded and said, "This is the best thing."

Ye Chen didn't expect Jiao Zhong to reply so simply. After being stunned for a long time, he sighed and said, "That's it. I'll say goodbye."

His brother didn’t like him staying in Ankang City.

 He knows his brother.

 Since you are not allowed to stay, you definitely cannot stay.

 For myself and for the Ye family.

"grown ups."

From beginning to end, Tian Sixi didn't say a word. After Ye Chen left, he looked at Jiao Zhong blankly, not daring to take a breath.

 If Jiao Zhong is displeased, his death will be in vain.

The other party is the commander of the guards!

 Having the power of life and death!

Jiao Zhong took the wine glass handed over by Tian Sixi, sniffed it first, and then took a sip, "Mom, it's amazing to be rich, to be able to drink such good wine."

Tian Sixi hurriedly said, "If you like it, I will send you a few jars tomorrow."

Jiao Zhong neither nodded nor shook his head. He just said, "Be careful when doing things, and don't be too impulsive."

 “Please follow your instructions!”

Tian Sixi said sincerely.

Jiao Zhong thought for a while and asked, "Have you seen Cao Xiaohuan these days?"

 “Reply to the Lord,”

Tian Sixi said cautiously, "I haven't seen Mr. Cao Captou these days. It is said that Mr. Chen came to Ankang City, and Cao Captou entertained him on his behalf."

Jiao Zhong said in surprise, "Master Chen?"

Tian Sixi said happily, "Sir Chen Xinluo."

“Isn’t he in Jiangnan? Why did he come to Ankang City?”

Jiao Zhong’s face became increasingly gloomy.

"grown ups,"

Tian Sixi lowered his head and said, "This is what Lord Jixiang means. I don't dare to speak nonsense."

"If you dare to say another word, believe it or not, I will chop you up directly?"

Jiao Zhonghen said.

Tian Sixi hurriedly said, "Recommended by Lord Shi Quan, Lord Chen Xinluo is officially appointed as the chief arrest officer of the Three Laws Division!"

 He was really afraid that Jiao Zhong would cut him off with the knife in his hand.
