"Master...Master...there is an urgent letter!"
Five days later, Cui family in Xianyang City.
The butler waved an urgent letter and hurried into the yard.
"Uncle Cheng, what's the letter? You're so anxious!"
In the yard, Cui Cheng was yawning, sitting on a stone bench and basking in the sun, asking lazily.
Ever since Xiao Zhengtai's barbecue restaurant opened, the business of their restaurant has plummeted. Gradually, there was not even a single customer left!
Even his group of friends ran to the opposite side, saying that this was the most delicious food in the world!
If he wasn't afraid that his father would find out and break his legs, he would also want to try it!
Now that the restaurant is out of business and he has lost a lot of money to his father, he doesn't dare to ask for money to go to the brothel again, so he has to stay at home and do nothing!
"I don't know, this is an urgent letter, and... it was shot at the door by an arrow!"
If it was just an urgent letter, the housekeeper wouldn't be so panicked.
The key is that this arrow was shot by a sharp arrow, which is terrifying!
The Cui family has never had any contact with the world. How could someone send a message with a sharp arrow for no reason?
Could it be that bandits are extorting money, or that some gangster wants to attack the Cui family?
Thinking of this, Cui Chengcai was so frightened. He explained a few words in a panic, and then hurriedly ran into the house!
Now the leaves are withering and yellowing, autumn is coming soon, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge.
Coupled with the lack of business in the high-priced restaurant, Cui Jingtong's health became even worse and he didn't leave the house for several days.
Eating, drinking and urinating are all done in the house.
As soon as I walked in, the stinky smell in the house hit my nose!
There is no way, Cui Cheng is the housekeeper, even if he doesn't want to get in, he still has to get in, and this is the money he earns!
"Master, master...?"
Seeing Cui Jingtong's languid expression, not knowing whether he was asleep or passed out, the housekeeper called softly.
"Um?"
After receiving the response, the housekeeper felt relieved and continued: "When I just went out, I found a sharp arrow stuck in the door panel, and this urgent letter. I didn't know what the content was, so I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly sent it. Got it!"
Cui Cheng was afraid of being scolded for disturbing his master's sleep, so he quickly explained.
"Urgent letter? Or was it the one stuck in the door panel with a sharp arrow?"
After hearing this, Cui Jingtong struggled and sat up with the help of the housekeeper.
"Yes, sir, please take a look!"
The housekeeper hurriedly thrust the letter into the master's hand.
Cui Jingtong had been lying in bed for many days, and he had no strength. He tore open the letter tremblingly, glanced at the content briefly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on the master's face, the housekeeper suddenly felt something strange!
Cui Sheng hid at the door curiously, wanting to eavesdrop on what was inside.
If there is any danger, he might as well protect himself first!
But there was no movement for a long time after entering, which made him anxious. He didn't know what was going on inside!
I was afraid of getting scolded if I went in rashly, so I could only wait patiently!
"Sir, what did the letter say?"
"Do you know the Xiang clan of old Chu?"
Cui Jingtong smiled and did not answer the question.
"The Xiang clan? Um...could it be that they are the general of the Chu State, Xiang Yan's clan?"
Although the steward was just a commoner, after the Qin soldiers returned from their victory, the whole process of the attack on Chu had spread quickly.
Especially in Xianyang, the rumors among the people were even more evil, and everyone was praising Wang Jian's prowess.
It was because of this that he learned that there was a general in Chu State named Xiang Yan!
"That's right. After Xiang Yan's death and the fall of Chu, the Xiang family moved around. Now they have settled in Pengcheng, preparing to unite the nobles of the six countries to fight against Qin!"
Cui Jingtong did not hide anything and told the housekeeper all the contents of the letter.
Nowadays, the Cui family is in dire straits, many servants have left, and the remaining ones are old people, and he trusts them more!
As everyone knows, these old people can't find any decent jobs when they go out, and they don't have the energy to farm, so they can only continue to hang out here and make money every day!
Cui Jingtong's body was deteriorating, and his brain was not as flexible as before. He also directly mentioned this matter of losing his head!
“Anti…anti…anti…anti…anti Qin?”
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, the housekeeper's feet softened and he almost fell to the ground.
The lips don't obey the command and are stammering!
"People are against Qin, what are you afraid of?"
Cui Jingtong rolled his eyes and became angry.
"Then...then this letter?"
Cui Cheng always felt that the letter stuck in the door panel by an arrow must be something good, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a matter of losing his head.
"Now that Xiang Yan is dead, the Xiang family has moved to Pengcheng, ready to rebel. However, that boy Ying Feiyu always comes up with some weird things, which makes Da Qin develop rapidly, causing our business to plummet, and at the same time making them unable to do anything. I started, so I thought of a way...!"
After a pause, Cui Jingtong continued: "The Xiang family has concluded that this year will be a cold winter, and wants to join hands with us to purchase the furs of Da Qin. When natural disasters come and the people complain, they will rebel and have a greater chance of winning!"
"Master, but...but this will help them, and we will make no profit!"
The housekeeper has always been by Cui Jingtong's side, and has also absorbed many businessman habits.
But he will not do anything that is not profitable!
"Hmph! Who said there is no profit...?"
Cui Jingtong snorted twice, "That kid suppressed us everywhere, leaving our Cui family with no way to go. When the rebellion against Qin succeeds, that kid will become a prisoner and have a hard time. By then, we will be the great heroes. In the future Are you still worried about having no business?"
"But...but what if it fails?"
The butler's heart was beating fast.
He is an ordinary citizen, and he has never thought of participating in the rebellion!
I thought I was being targeted by bandits or something, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a rebel!
This is much scarier than bandits!
"Failure? Even if we fail, it won't do anything to us!"
"We just contributed some money, there is no need for us to show up, no one will know!"
"Besides, even if they fail to raise an army, we still have the fur in hand!"
"In the coldest months of winter when furs are in short supply, we will definitely be able to sell them for a good price. Not to mention recouping the original investment, we can still make a huge profit if we don't even save the money!"
Thinking of this, Cui Jingtong suddenly became energetic and could sit even without leaning on the bed.
"Dad! This is a good idea. Autumn has just begun and furs are not expensive. If we sell them in winter when people can't buy furs, we will definitely make a lot of money. By then our family will be rich again!" "
At this moment, Cui Sheng, who had been eavesdropping at the door, suddenly rushed in with a grin on his face.
During this period, the restaurant had no business, and his father refused to give him pocket money because the family's business was sluggish.
It’s so bad that he hasn’t been to Yichun Courtyard for half a month.
A few days ago, he bumped into Miss Liu Cui, who had been accompanying him before. Now she was snuggling in the arms of another rich man, smiling lightly.
This made him angry, so he exposed his arms and rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up and argue.
Unexpectedly, Liu Cui didn't even look at him, but said that if she didn't want to accept the guests, she would take the money!
