When Bai Xiaonan and Xie Yu talked about his father's arrest before, Xie Yu felt that someone should be behind the matter.
Now that Yu Hua said this, Xie Yu was even more sure of his guess.
As for why Cao Jian wanted to trouble Xie Jin, he should have been implicated by Xie Yu.
Xie Yu used a move to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron, directly igniting General Yu Xiao's anger, and finally burned it on Cao Jian. It's strange that Cao Jian doesn't hate Xie Jin.
If he could hold back until now, then Cao Jian could be considered tolerant enough.
By the way, Cao Jian is also Bai Xiaonan's enemy. Although Xie Yu promised to avenge Bai Xiaonan, he never thought he would confront Cao Jian so soon.
Xie Yu quickly ran through the whole thing in his mind, and he had an idea in a moment.
He smiled at Yu Hua: "Uncle Yu, since this matter will fall on Cao Zhizhou in the end, then I will go and talk to him. But you also said that my father's matter... may be harmful to him. I have some influence. So I also want to use my uncle's identity to use it."
"When I meet Cao Zhizhou later, I said he is your nephew, is that okay?"
Yu Hua nodded: "Of course there is no problem with that. When is my nephew going to see Cao Jian? Do you want me to help you make an appointment with him?"
"That's... no need! Just ask uncle to write a letter of recommendation for me!"
Seeing that Xie Yu made such a simple request without even having to step forward, Yu Hua suddenly felt that he was not helping enough.
Seeing that the girl next to him, Yu Wenjun, was about to get up to "replenish his tea" again, Yu Hua quickly said: "That's great! I'll ask Wenjun to accompany you. With her here, the effect is better than me writing a letter of recommendation. Do you think this is okay?"
Xie Yu looked at Bai Xiaonan next to him, then at Yu Hua, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"
Yu Wenjun suddenly laughed.
…
When Yu Wenjun accompanied Xie Yubai Xiaonan out of the Yu Mansion, the smile on his face never faded.
Xie Yu looked at Bai Xiaonan, who looked blank, and said with some guilt: "How about... you go back first?"
I thought Bai Xiaonan would have a temper with him.
Unexpectedly, she nodded directly: "Okay! Then be careful."
When Bai Xiaonan said the word "be careful", he enunciated it a little too hard and glanced at Yu Wenjun next to him.
Xie Yu immediately received the full meaning of this "pun".
He hurriedly expressed his position: "Don't worry, I promise I won't let you down!"
After Bai Xiaonan rode away, Yu Wenjun asked, "Why did she leave? Aren't you going with her?"
Xie Yu shook his head: "She's in trouble! It's not convenient to follow her. By the way... When we go back to Cao Zhizhou, don't mention anything related to Baishi Village."
"Why?"
Yu Wenjun was a little confused.
"No reason."
"oh!"
Yu Wenjun actually accepted Xie Yu's perfunctory explanation. This shows that the way of thinking of a woman with a love brain really cannot be understood by common sense!
…
When they arrived at the gate of Zhizhou Mansion, Yu Wenjun and Yan Shi revealed their identities.
Not long after, the waiter welcomed the two into the house.
After sitting in the middle hall for a while, Zhizhou Caojian came over.
"It turns out to be Wenjun's niece. Why did you remember to come find your uncle? Huh? This is..."
Yu Wenjun quickly stood up to greet him, and then introduced Cao Jian: "This is my cousin Yu Xie. I came to see my uncle this time at the invitation of my cousin!"
Xie Yu also quickly stepped forward to greet him: "I've met Mr. Cao!"
After being polite, Cao Jian asked Xie Yu: "Are you Wenjun's cousin? Then Mr. Yu Qian, the right minister of the Ministry of War of this dynasty, and you are..."
"He's also my uncle..."
Xie Yu picked up the tiger skin without any pressure.
A friendly smile suddenly appeared on Cao Jian's face: "Haha, it turns out you are a descendant of Mr. Yu's family! Those are not outsiders, sit down quickly!"
After letting his servants serve tea, Cao Jian asked about Yu Qian's current situation.
How could Xie Yu know this?
He could only talk casually: "Everything is fine, uncle. He is just worrying a little too much about me recently."
"Oh? What's the matter with my dear nephew that I can't handle?"
Cao Jian showed a curious expression.
Judging from the expression alone, it is exactly what an elder should look like when he cares about his younger generation.
Caring without being fawning, being distant without being overbearing!
The proportion is really just right.
Xie Yu suppressed a few slang words used by Cao Jian's family, and finally put on a smile similar to Cao Jian's and said: "It's not that my family thinks I'm worthless, I'm already in my weak years, and I can't even start a family and start a career!"
"Hey! In today's world, there are many people who have achieved nothing in their early years. But you can't say that they have no future! How could you know that they are not late bloomers? Are they just waiting for a chance to make a big splash?"
Cao Jian is indeed a scholar, and his comforting words are like a spring breeze.
Yu Wenjun next to him looked numb.
She had long known that Cao Jian was hypocritical in his words.
But she didn't expect that Brother Xie, who she thought was tall and upright, was also so talented, even if he was talking about nothing!
In fact, Xie Yu was also filled with resentment.
He felt that if he kept talking this kind of nonsense for a while, he would definitely vomit.
For the sake of his own mental health, he decided to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
"Actually, I came to see Mr. Cao this time to do some business. I searched around in Yingzhou and finally found a good deal!"
"What deal?"
"Sell coal!" Xie Yu said with a smile, "The demand for coal in the capital is increasing day by day. As far as I know, last winter, the amount of charcoal used in the capital reached more than 20 million kilograms! Of course, among them, the main burning Charcoal! But charcoal is expensive and far less cost-effective than charcoal!"
"So I contacted a quarry here and cooperated with the owner. I contacted the buyer and he was responsible for producing the charcoal! So far, I have helped him contact the business of two million kilograms of charcoal!"
How did Xie Yu get this data?
Of course I got it from Zheng Laohu when he was chatting with him.
"This is a good thing!" Cao Jian said with a smile, "If my nephew can really make the people in the capital have access to charcoal fires, then there will be many fewer people who freeze to death this winter. This can be regarded as a good deed!"
"But... there is a shortage of people!" Xie Yu finally brought the topic to employment.
He said that now we are not short of orders, but we are still short of workers digging coal.
So he hoped that Cao Jian could help and coordinate some labor prisoners to work in the quarry.
Hearing this, Cao Jian suddenly showed a troubled expression: "This... doesn't seem to be in line with the rules!"
Labor prisoners no longer have human rights, but their labor force also belongs to the state. Even if it is not used, it cannot be used for personal profit.
Otherwise, it will definitely be a big trouble if someone finds out.
Cao Jian also understood that his favor would not be in vain. But he really doesn't like this business and this little money!
Twenty million kilograms sounds like a lot, but what if you buy it all into charcoal?
That's 20,000 taels of silver.
I spent a lot of money up and down, and then divided it up. I only got a few thousand taels, and it was still a winter's profit.
It can't satisfy Cao Jian's appetite.
As soon as Xie Yu saw Cao Jian's expression, he knew what he was thinking.
Xie Yu secretly sneered in his heart, I'm not afraid that you are greedy, but I am afraid that you have a small appetite!
The hole has been dug for you, it’s just waiting for you to jump in! As long as you dare to jump, Bai Xiaonan's revenge will be half avenged!
