"What happened, why do you have to come to us so late at night?" Chu Ze put on some clothes and walked out with a yawn.
The person who hadn't slept well had a tone of complete impatience.
Fang Yu immediately stood up and said, "Sir, it's urgent."
He quickly told Chu Ze roughly what happened before, and then recounted his guesses.
Chu Ze stopped yawning and muttered: "This guy moves pretty fast."
"Yes, so now the common people can only come and ask Mr. Chu to tell you what we should do next. We are still far short of one hundred thousand taels. If Bai Qingwen is asked to collect one hundred thousand taels of silver, we will not be able to compete. There's room." Fang Yu was worried and seemed even more anxious than Chu Ze.
Chu Ze waved to Fang Yu and motioned for him to sit down first.
"Don't worry, Bai Qingwen wants to raise money, and we can't stop him. Come on, let's have a cup of tea first." Chu Ze poured a glass of water for Fang Yu and pushed it in front of Fang Yu.
Fang Yu: "...can you still drink tea at this time?"
"That's right. It's so late at night and I won't be able to sleep after drinking tea." Chu Ze put the tea cup to his mouth. After hearing Fang Yu's words, he put it down again. He called the guards and asked them to start again. Prepare a pot of water.
Fang Yu: "..."
Is this what he meant?
He was obviously talking about Bai Qingwen. How did Mr. Chu interpret this to mean that he would not let him drink tea in the middle of the night? !
Fang Yu didn’t understand!
Chu Ze, on the other hand, was calm, as if nothing happened.
He even gave Fang Yu a glass of water.
Fang Yu said again: "..."
"Sir," Fang Yu couldn't sit still, raised his hand to cover the mouth of his tea cup, looked at Chu Ze with disapproval, and said, "Please allow me to say something offensive. Now is not the time to drink water. You should think about it first." I think Bai Qingwen will do it."
When Chu Ze saw the other person covering the mouth of the tea cup, he didn't insist on adding water to him.
Chu Ze put down the teapot, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then raised his eyes to look at Fang Yu: "Then can you stop it now?"
Fang Yu: "...No."
"But we don't have to give him the seven thousand taels he wants!" Fang Yu added excitedly, "Seven thousand taels is not much, but it can also be delayed for some time. Your Excellency can use this time to make some preparations."
"That's it. Since you are delaying time for us, what should we be afraid of?"
Chu Ze's words were so obvious that Fang Yu was shocked.
He looked at Chu Ze in disbelief, his eyes widening because he couldn't believe it.
"You, you..." Fang Yu didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.
Too complicated.
He was busy there for Chu Ze, constantly planning.
As a result, Chu Ze was in trouble here!
And he also told him - "Isn't it you?"
If you have him, you won't have to worry about anything, so he just becomes the shopkeeper? !
He, the person in charge, has a do-it-yourself attitude, so what the hell are they doing?
Fang Yu opened his mouth several times and almost blurted out curse words.
Chu Ze: "...the expression on your face was so dirty that it blurred our eyes."
Fang Yu looked at Chu Ze deeply, and his hand on his hand tightened continuously.
If possible, he would rather curse people with his mouth.
"Okay, don't be aggrieved. We didn't say we didn't care about this." Chu Ze looked at Fang Yu's expression of gritted teeth and laughed without conscience. He patted Fang Yu on the shoulder and comforted him, "You Just keep the money and don’t give it away, we’ll take care of the rest.”
These words sounded much better than before.
But Fang Yu was still worried.
He said: "Sir, Bai Qingwen only gave us two days."
"Well, just leave him alone for a few days and just put it off." Chu Ze said easily.
It was so relaxing that Teacher Fang Yu wondered if he hadn't told Chu Ze before how important Bai Qingwen was in the local area.
He said he would remove the Fang family from Fuzhou, and he would definitely do what he said.
Fang Yu, on the other hand, had no room for resistance at all.
"We understand your concerns, but don't worry, he won't be able to think of you for the time being." Chu Ze comforted him again.
Fang Yu's expression became strange: "Seriously?"
"Of course, we still have to rely on you to raise money for us. Before the money is raised, how can we watch you being plotted by others?" Chu Ze remained calm, as if this matter was not worth mentioning at all. Even what he said sounded so ruthless and cold.
But this attitude actually made Fang Yu feel more relieved.
They were not from the same camp, but they met because of some things.
Between them, it is better to talk about interests than about feelings.
On the contrary, it makes people feel more at ease.
Fang Yu's heart also calmed down.
The emotions that had been clouding his heart dissipated, and Fang Yu could see Chu Ze's expression clearly.
Fang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Looking at your determination, could it be that you have already made preparations?"
"Preparation is out of the question. It's just a mistake." Chu Ze didn't want to go into details, so he changed the topic, "By the way, did anyone see you when you came here?"
"Probably not." It was already midnight and there were no pedestrians on the street.
When he arrived here, he secretly contacted Chu Ze's entourage.
I didn't see anyone else when I came in.
Chu Ze said "hmm" and said: "That's fine, it's getting late. We'll send someone to take you back. Anyway, remember what we said, procrastination, do you understand?"
"clear."
"That's good." Chu Ze snapped his fingers behind him, and Zhao Shifa, who had been following Zhu Ping everywhere, walked out of the shadows, "Send him back and don't alert anyone."
Zhao Shifa: "Yes."
Fang Yu stood up and said goodbye.
The two disappeared into the courtyard, and Zhu Xi and Zhu Di also came out.
They also listened in the room just now.
I was too lazy to come out and join in, so I didn't come out and just listened in the room.
After Fang Yu left, the two of them came out.
They sat down next to Chu Ze and said, "Bai Qingwen's movements are quite fast. It seems that he really scratched his sore spot this time."
"That's right."
Zhu Xi reached out and knocked in front of Chu Ze: "Hey, the fourth child has told us what happened during the day. Are you really planning to go?"
Zhu Di didn't really want to go.
But Chu Ze had already pulled him on, and it was too late for him to get off the boat now.
He told Zhu Xi about it, firstly because it was impossible to hide it, and secondly because he wanted to use Zhu Xi's words to persuade Chu Ze.
At this time, Zhu Xi spoke, and Zhu Di also supported him: "That's right, we always feel that this matter is not very reliable, so let's forget about it. Anyway, isn't there the second brother who is investigating this matter? There are second brothers and Zhao Shifa. Could it be that Are you afraid that you won’t be able to get their evidence? Why involve yourself in it?”
"That's right." Zhu Xi answered.
Hearing this, Chu Ze glanced at the two of them and said disgustedly: "What do you think we think?"
