167: C167 Copper Coin

C167 Copper Coin

In the end, Leng Yueling gave up the idea of going to jail.

Of course, this was what she said.

Eldest Imperial Princess did not know whether to believe it or not, but that night, she sent over 20 palace maids to surround this palace tightly.

The beautiful name was that it was too lonely. She wanted Leng Yueling to accompany her for a little longer, so she let her stay here.

This made Leng Yueling could only helplessly smile bitterly, and her face was full of worry and anxiety.

Eldest Imperial Princess narrowed her eyes and looked at her. Then she grinned and reached out to scratch her nose. She said, "I also don't know what's good about that kid."

Although her expression was smiling, her voice had a trace of trembling.

Xiao Yun did not know that the beauty he was thinking of had almost rushed into the prison.

He calmly stayed in the cell.

Waiting... The arrival of some people.

Inside was a package containing all kinds of information from the aristocratic families. There were also Shangguan Qing'er and the others who investigated the things that he had instructed them to do.

At the same time, they were also waiting for Pei Zhongren.

And this Pei Yanluo was finally unable to hold his temper any longer. He had come to find him.

When he sat opposite of Xiao Yun and saw Xiao Yun's calm and relaxed expression, he instantly understood that Xiao Yun had been waiting for him for a long time.

He cursed himself for coming too early, but he still couldn't help but say, "You knew this old man would come?"

Xiao Yun let out a laugh. "I am of the same generation as Elder Leng. Do you think it is appropriate to call yourself this old man in front of me?"

"You!"

Pei Zhongren was extremely angry, but he did not want to flare up. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Xiao, don't go too far. Don't forget that you are still a prisoner!"

This sentence of Young Master Xiao was Pei Zhongren's biggest concession.

Xiao Yun did not insist. He smiled and said, "I already know why you came today. It's nothing more than those subordinates. You want to protect them, but you also feel that you can't protect your official position. Once you lose your official position, their lives will also be lost. So you're in a dilemma and don't know what to do now. Right? "

Pei Zhongren was stunned for a moment, then he let out a heavy sigh.

Xiao Yun suddenly said, "Don't think of yourself as such a high and mighty person. In fact, you are thinking about protecting yourself more than anything else. If you want to protect their lives, you can use your position now. Transfer them to the border, or even to other countries to be spies. He could also let them bring their family along. As long as he tried hard, he would be able to find a way. You can always think of a way, but if you do... He would really be thrown to the opposite side of His Majesty, and he would be doomed forever. So you don't want to do it at all. Am I right? "

Pei Zhongren suddenly raised his head and looked at him seriously. His face was filled with disbelief.

He wanted to refute.

However, he found that he had no strength to refute.

In the end, he could only sigh. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I spent several decades, risking my life, risking my life to obtain this wife and Yin Zi. How could I possibly want to give up?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Look, this conversation is much better. Everyone should be honest with each other. Don't hide your thoughts. This is the best way to communicate. Don't always think about protecting yourself. There will always be some time when you need to dig yourself out. Put it in front of others. "

"I don't know if you're praising me or insulting me"

"Of course you're praising me. You'll know when you get to know me more."

"I don't want to get to know you more."

Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "During this period of time, they have taken good care of me. To be honest, they might have done something wrong before. They also have ways to die, but they can't die here. That's why this method is free for you. "

"You have a way to solve it? "

"There is a difficult solution. There is a simple solution. Which one do you choose?"

"There are two other methods?"

"That's right. A difficult method can be implemented once and for all. A simple method is easier to implement, but the effect is not too outstanding, but it also has an effect. Which one do you choose? "

Pei Zhongren thought for a while and said, "I choose the simple one."

" Oh?"

Xiao Yun was obviously stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "You are indeed Elder Leng's disciple. That is correct."

"Did I choose the wrong one?"

"No, I chose the right one."

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Actually, the simple method is very simple. Just follow my instructions and buy a few medicines."

"That's it?"

"That's it for the time being."

"... " Alright!"

Pei Zhongren did not continue asking. Instead, he asked someone to buy a lot of herbs that Xiao Yun wanted.

Then, Xiao Yun concocted three types of herbs in front of him.

Then he said, "These three herbs, as long as you think of a way to put them in front of His Majesty, this matter will be settled."

"This..."

Pei Zhongren gritted his teeth. He actually held the three herbs and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Xiao Yun quickly stopped him and asked with a smile, "Why don't you ask me what these three herbs are for?"

"You can say it if you want to."

"Uh... it's really like that."

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "These three medicines are all poisons, and are much stronger than arsenic and other medicines. Furthermore, they will not be detected by the silver needles."

"Ah? It's over? That's all? "

" What do you think? "

Xiao Yun said, "His Majesty only needs to know that there are a lot of poisons in this world. The poison that silver needles can determine is really very little. He will not think about the silver needles anymore, ___ said. Won't your matter be fine? "

"Hmm?"

Pei Zhongren was stunned for a long time before he turned around.

Yes, since there were a lot of poisons, he and the others might only know how to prevent the silver needles from testing the poison. Compared to all kinds of poisons in the world, what was it?

So, wouldn't the matter really be resolved?0

He looked at the three types of poison in his arms, somewhat fearful, but also somewhat fortunate.

After a while, he said, "Actually, this method is not simple."

That's right. Even the most famous doctor would not be able to concoct the three poisons just like that.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "At least to me, it is simple. To you, isn't it also simple?"

Pei Zhongren finally smiled.

His smile was extremely carefree.

The way he looked at Xiao Yun also changed.

He even knew that he was wrong, just like what his teacher had said. There were some people in this world that couldn't be offended, not just because they had a very deep background. Or perhaps it is... The other side is really powerful!

After waiting for a day, Pei Zhongren came again.

He didn't say anything and just brought some food and wine. After having a meal with Xiao Yun, he left.

Xiao Yun knew that once the matter was settled, he wouldn't be punished, and those jailers wouldn't die.

The relaxed and carefree expression on the table was truly something no one could falsify.

After waiting for another day, Shangguan Qing'er finally came.

"Young Master, the matter that you asked me to investigate has some progress!"

" Oh? Tell me about it."

" In the past two years, the copper coins have indeed increased a bit. I heard from the people on the street that just a year ago, a steamed bun could sometimes be sold for two copper coins. But this year, one copper coin is definitely enough to buy two steamed buns. The changes are actually very big! Why is it that no one can sense such a huge change? "

Shangguan Qing'er had a puzzled expression.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This is because those people do not have any savings. They do not have any surplus in their hands. Similarly, they seldom borrow debts. They use up as much as they earn. They also earn the same amount of food to support their families. Although the copper coin was a little less in his hand, as long as the food he carried home did not change... They could not feel any changes. Besides, what can they do when they see changes? Isn't life still normal? "

" Hmm... that's true. "

Shangguan Qing'er pouted and said, "But I heard that the copper coins in the black market are more expensive. Now, some people are buying things with food and the copper coins are less and less."

"This is stockpiling."

... "A stockpile?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "If you know something, it will definitely become more valuable in the future, and now it is not very valuable. Do you want to use it first, or do you want to save it up?"

"Of course it is more worthwhile to save it up!"

"Yes, many people think so, so this copper coin is saved up."

"That's right..." Shangguan Qing'er chuckled. She was obviously a woman in her twenties. Recently, she had become more and more like a child and lacked the cold and mature aura from before. It made Xiao Yun feel that she had changed into another person.

He couldn't help but think that this fellow couldn't have worn it too, right?
