Shen Nan was confused.
But he felt that nothing good would happen if Chu Ze came.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that we are short of money. Does Mr. Shen understand that?"
Chu Ze raised his eyelids and looked at him, his fingertips tapping his knees every now and then and nodding lightly. Matching his casual tone, Shen Nan felt frightened.
what is this?
Fishing enforcement?
Bringing two princes with him is a bit too much.
Shen Nan cursed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Master Chu, we don't have much money, this..."
Even if he had it, he wouldn't dare to take it out.
If Chu Ze gives him a personal gain, then he won't even have room to argue.
Shen Nan had a headache.
I don’t understand what Chu Ze wants to do.
Chu Ze clicked his tongue and said, "Master Shen misunderstood. We didn't ask you to bribe us. What we meant was that we still need one hundred thousand taels of silver to build the West Lake. As the prefect of a state, you must be able to handle it." Bar?"
"..." Shen Nan was even more speechless, "Sir, these one hundred thousand taels..."
"Sure you can, right?"
Chu Ze didn't give him a chance to refuse at all, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a hint of coldness.
Shen Nan: "..."
Even if this doesn’t work, it has to work.
"How long will it take?" The words of rejection rolled around Shen Nan's lips before swallowing them.
Chu Ze said: "20 days."
"20 days?" Is this time calculated in days?
And it doesn’t look like the water canal can be completed in 20 days.
Shen Nan thought of something——
Fujian has suddenly become turbulent in the past few days, restricting the entry of outsiders.
Especially Ryukyu people.
Yesterday, he also heard that Yuekang had detained several Ryukyu people.
Shen Nan didn't know the specific reason yet, but he told Shen Nan directly that the matter was probably related to Chu Ze.
And it’s also related to the one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Shen Nan didn't refuse anymore.
He said: "Okay, I'll take care of it now."
He still couldn't come up with one hundred thousand taels, but Bai Qingwen must have a way.
Chu Ze was satisfied when he saw that he agreed.
"Then I have to rely on Master Shen for this matter."
Shen Nan smiled: "Mr. Chu, you are very polite. We should handle the matter you have given us, no matter what."
This is beautifully said.
Chu Ze nodded with a smile, and then left with Zhu Xi and Zhu Di.
After leaving the door, Zhu Di asked Chu Ze: "Is this possible?"
"Why do we think this is so unreliable?" Zhu Feng also felt that this matter was unreliable.
Shen Nan is not from the same group as them.
Asking him for help is like asking a deaf person to ask a blind person for guidance, it is purely unreliable.
"We think that Shen Nan will probably go to Bai Qingwen. You also know Bai Qingwen's attitude towards you. Do you think he will help you?" Zhu Xi crossed his arms and looked at Chu Ze.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Chu Ze, but that Chu Ze's ability to handle this matter is really unreliable.
Chu Ze leaned leisurely against the wall of the carriage, listening to the two men analyzing him with all their heart.
After they all finished speaking, Chu Ze replied casually: "Then he can go find him."
Zhu Xi and Zhu Di looked at each other strangely and said, "What do you mean?"
Listening to Chu Ze's tone, it seemed like he was looking forward to Shen Nan going to Bai Qingwen.
"Hey, tell me honestly, do you have other arrangements?" Zhu Ping moved his butt towards Chu Ze, winking, and looking a little hopeful.
Zhu Di also looked at Chu Ze, wanting to hear what he had to say.
When Chu Ze saw both of them sitting over, he also sat upright.
He leaned forward and said, "What we mean is, we don't expect Shen Nan."
"?"
Zhu Xi and Zhu Di didn't understand even more.
"No, you don't count on Shen Nan, then why are you going to find him?" You still have the attitude that if you don't do it for us, we will do it for you.
this……
What's the reason for doing this?
Zhu Xi couldn't figure it out.
Chu Ze didn't intend to explain to them, so he just raised his fingers towards Zhu Xi and whispered in his ear.
After saying that, Zhu Xiang's eyes lit up.
He turned his head and looked at Chu Ze in disbelief: "Are you sure?"
"It's a done deal."
Seeing that Chu Ze was so confident, Zhu Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go do it." After that, he stopped the carriage and jumped out.
Looking at Zhu Xi's back walking further and further away, the doubts in Zhu Di's eyes became more and more serious.
"What did you say to him?" Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Chu Ze in confusion.
Chu Ze smiled mysteriously and said, "The secret must not be revealed."
Zhu Di: "We can't say it either?"
"No, if you say it, it won't work."
"..."
When Chu Ze returned to Guanyi, Zhao Si had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Chu Ze coming back, Zhao Si quickly stood up to greet him: "Master, you are finally back."
Chu Ze kept walking and continued walking inside.
He glanced briefly at Zhao Si and said, "Looking at you smiling so happily, it seems you have sorted things out?"
"Of course, who are you? You've already gone out in person and haven't taken care of me yet. How dare you say that I'm your follower?" Zhao Si patted his chest and not only praised himself, but also praised Chu Ze. Ichiban.
It can be said that no one is disappointed.
Chu Ze smiled and didn't take his cleverness seriously.
They walked into their yard and into the house, and Chu Zecai continued to ask: "Tell me what you have learned."
"Kang Cheng is more guarded against us than against thieves. The boy next to him just barely put two eyes on me." Zhao Si complained at first, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "But still I got some useful information from my inquiry. Sir, guess who Kang Cheng is going to see today?"
Chu Ze glanced at Zhao Si, who was winking at him, and thought about it for a moment, and a name came to his mind.
"Bai Qingwen."
"Oh! I am the master, I guessed it without even using any hints!" Zhao Si was so excited that he seemed to be the one who guessed it.
He clapped his hands and said, "Yes, it's him."
Chu Ze: "..." There is no need to praise him so much.
In fact, Kang Cheng didn't know many people in Fuzhou, and Bai Qingwen was the only one who had the financial resources to spend so much money.
The most important reason was that Bai Qingwen had a bad relationship with him.
As long as he uses it properly, Bai Qingwen can be his weapon.
Thinking of this, Chu Ze looked solemn.
He suddenly looked at Zhao Si and asked, "Have they reached an agreement today?"
"...I don't know." Zhao Si shook his head sincerely, "But we saw Kang Cheng and Bai Qingwen leaving the restaurant one after another. They looked like they didn't know each other. If I hadn't tricked it out of the boy's mouth, I wouldn't even think of any connection between them."
Chu Ze clicked his tongue.
Zhao Si looked at Chu Ze like this and asked doubtfully: "Master, is there something else about Xiao Jiujiu that we don't know about here?"
