An hour later.
Hongxi Feixing hurried back with a look of surprise on her face, as magnificent as ever.
"How's it going?"
He Pingan had a calm look on his face. He had already expected this. Seeing Hong Xifei's expression, he knew that the matter was half done.
"He agreed."
Hong Xifei answered.
"It's just that he opened his mouth wide and asked for one hundred taels of silver..."
"One hundred taels of silver?"
He Ping'an frowned. He didn't lack anything in terms of skills and instruments. Instead, he only had a dozen or so taels of silver.
I got it by touching Chen Biao's body.
"Well, the thing is like this, I usually meet with him in an uninhabited quiet room..."
Hong Xifei recounted the meeting between the two exactly as it happened.
Colonel Hu's name is Hu Yong, and he is a small leader of the Colonel who guards the Drug Testing Department.
He has some authority and usually spends a lot of money. Five years ago, he was introduced to Wu Fan. After a while, he agreed to help Wu Fan do something.
Wu Fan was also very wise. After Hu Yong helped him send Hong Xifei in, he gave Hu Yong a house in Shengpingfang in the east of the city.
Today, after Hong Xifei met with Hu Yong, she mentioned that she wanted to send someone away, but Hu Yong did not refuse.
It just puts a lot of difficulties in place, such as strict supervision by the general banner, reports from colleagues, etc.
At the end, when I saw that the atmosphere was almost complete, I said that I was a little short of money recently...
It's so similar to asking for help in Blue Star in my previous life. I refused for various reasons, but it wasn't just for this little thing.
Hu Yong even specifically mentioned that if there are two people, they can get a 20% discount.
"Buy one and get one free."
After hearing this, He Pingan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Wait, that's not right."
The messages of He Ping'an receiving Zhang San's letter and Hu Yong sending the two of them were carefully recalled in his mind. An invisible thread seemed to connect these two messages with Wu Fan.
"So that's it."
After a while, he suddenly smiled.
"I said that something would happen to Brother Zhang's mother sooner rather than later, but it happened at this time."
"It turns out that it was Wu Fan's plan."
"Wu Fan?"
"Aunt Zhang's matter is still related to Wu Fan?"
Hong Xifei tilted her little head, unable to figure it out.
"Otherwise, you think that Hu Yong can agree to you so easily today and buy it at a 20% discount?"
He Pingan smiled.
This little fairy is quite charming with the way she tilts her head...
"Then what is Wu Fan trying to do?"
Hong Xifei tilted her head, still unable to understand.
"Of course they want to trick us out and then kill us all."
He Ping'an's words made Hongxi Fei as clear as waking up from a big dream.
"So that's the case, then why does Hu Yong still need to collect money? Why don't you just let us out?"
Hong Xifei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed to have discovered a loophole in He Pingan's logic.
"Half truth, half lie, that's what makes it real."
"Besides, if Hu Yong takes the money, he may need to hand over part of it to the General Banner, and then distribute part of it to his colleagues. This is a long-term solution. Even if the matter is exposed, the General Banner will help carry it out."
"Oh, I see."
Hong Xifei nodded and continued: "No wonder my master said before that all the people of Daxuan Kingdom are extremely cunning. It is true."
He Ping'an shook his head and said with a smile: "There are people of all kinds in the world, and it's not all like this."
"You'll understand later."
How could this happen? Compared to the people of the Daxuan Kingdom and the people of the Blue Star in their previous life, their intrigues and intrigues were simply not on the same level.
It's just a small office with five or six people, all with different personalities.
Crouching dragons and phoenix chicks might be hidden around them.
If you, a little goblin, are allowed to go to Blue Star and you are not sold, how can you give me money?
Hong Xifei's small brain seemed unable to fully digest it. After a while, she continued to ask: "Sir, is Brother Zhang still out?"
"Go, of course."
He Ping'an smiled and said, there is no benefit to Zhang San staying in this drug testing department. Now that he can go out, it is naturally a good thing.
"Ah, Wu Fan must have set up a dragnet outside. Isn't Brother Zhang going to die if he goes out?"
As soon as Hong Xifei finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that she was not questioning the young master's wise and mighty decision. She was so frightened that she stuck out her pink and slender tongue, which was really cute.
He Ping'an usually looked soft and charming when seeing Hong Xifei, but now he suddenly saw another side of her, which actually had a different flavor.
Who says cuteness is nothing compared to sexy?
"Master?"
Hong Xifei stretched out her hand in front of He Pingan and waved it, interrupting his reverie.
"Well......"
"That's a good question. I was just thinking about the answer."
He Ping'an replied seriously.
Upon receiving his praise, a hint of joy appeared on Hong Xifei's pretty face.
"If only Zhang San went out alone, they wouldn't kill him."
"Instead, I will arrest Zhang San and use him to threaten me out."
He Pingan analyzed: "Their purpose is still to kill me."
Ever since his predecessor fell into prison, He Ping'an has been thinking about whether the captain who suddenly appeared in prison was related to Wu Fan.
The original intention was to let He Ping'an's predecessor enter the Drug Testing Department, but he died within a year and a half.
Who knew that after the death of his predecessor, He Pingan would suddenly jump in line.
Wu Fan thought that He Ping'an's predecessor was not dead, so naturally he felt uneasy.
So he sent Hong Xifei to kill him, but in the end, Hong Xifei was conquered by him.
After three years of silence, Chen Biao of the Marquis of Yongchun was sent, but failed again.
This time, it took five years to investigate clearly the relationship between He Pingan and Zhang San, as well as the conflict between Zhang San and the Li family back then. Only then did they take action, just to lure out He Pingan and Zhang San.
"It's really hard work..."
Hong Xifei couldn't help but sigh that after such a long time, she finally caught up with He Pingan's train of thought.
"But, sir, what should I do with the money?"
Hong Xifei is very curious about knowledge.
He Ping'an suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this.
As the saying goes, a penny can't make a hero. Regardless of the hype he just analyzed, the problem of money cannot be solved.
Zhang San has been working in the drug testing department for the past few years, and all his family's savings have been wiped out.
He turned his eyes and moved from Hong Xifei's chest to her waist. There was a purse hanging there, embroidered with a phoenix bird spreading its wings and looking back. The peony flowers and leaves on the background were sparse and bright, which was exactly the painting of a phoenix wearing a peony.
"Sir, this won't work."
Seeing He Pingan's eyes gleaming, Hong Xifei covered the purse around her waist and waved her hands quickly.
"Xi Fei, don't be so stingy."
He Ping'an pressed forward step by step.
"Sir, my family has saved so much money over the years."
Hong Xifei resisted, her eyes full of prayer.
"Xi Fei, you are all mine, so this little money is nothing."
"Lend it to me first and return it to you later."
He Pingan began to promise empty promises.
"Sir, you said you would return it to the slave family later."
Seeing that he had finished talking, Hong Xifei reluctantly took off her purse from her waist.
"Sir, these ninety taels of silver are the entire property of the slave family. You must return it to the slave family."
Hong Xifei was still a little worried.
"Oh, this small amount of money is not trivial to your young master."
"Do not worry."
He Pingan patted his chest and confirmed.
Hong Xifei curled her lips. A person with only a dozen taels of silver still dared to say that his ninety taels of silver were small change. However, he curled his lips and handed over the purse.
Seeing that she no longer resisted, He Pingan reached out to pick it up.
"Xi Fei, let go, why are you squeezing so tightly?"
