Chapter 175: Bet with Han Fei
In the newly built mansion of Marquis Xue Yi, Ji Wuye had a secret meeting with Marquis Xue Yi with the Emerald Tiger who had just returned from Nanyang.
The original meeting place was his mansion, but last night Jing Wei and Wei Zhuang not only burned it down, they also blew up the door, so they had no choice but to come to Xue Yi Hou's place.
"The gold coins in the secret room of Jubao Pavilion were stolen. The Qin envoy was also killed outside the royal city. The King of Han ordered me to capture the remnants of Baiyue and hand them over to Qin before the new Qin envoy arrives. Tiger, you speak first."
Jade Tiger wiped his sweat. He was only going to Nanyang for two days to deal with the business there. How could so many problems happen? Although he was only responsible for running the Jubao Pavilion and not guarding it, he had to be punished for such a big mess.
"General, I took inventory of the remaining money in the Treasure Pavilion this afternoon. Apart from what was burned, the remaining gold coins and gold cakes are worth about 15,000 gold coins. According to Tiger's speculation, Tianze and Liusha took away at least 400,000 gold coins worth of property."
"Okay! Let's get to the point!"
Ji Wuye interrupted Emerald Tiger's chattering in annoyance.
Jade Tiger continued tremblingly, "To transport all this wealth, at least twenty carriages are needed. So many carriages gathered in one place will attract a lot of attention. Although there are many caravans coming and going in Xinzheng, they are easy to search."
The Blood-Robed Marquis, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Not long ago, we received news that the West Gate Guardian Wang Gang was found in an unnamed courtyard. The West City Gate Guardian Deputy General Su Feng was captured by Han Yu's adopted son Han Qiancheng and executed for colluding with the remnants of the Baiyue. And the South Gate Guardian Zhao Si allowed five carriages to leave the city last night. General, the city guards you manage have many loopholes!"
Ji Wuye snorted coldly: "Su Feng is Han Yu's man, Zhao Si has been wavering, I didn't expect him to surrender to Zhang Kaidi."
The emerald tiger shuddered, wondering why he hadn't come back for two days. Han Yu opened the quicksand and Baiyue all joined forces.
No wonder the general and the marquis are in such a mess. These people together are enough to fight against the night.
Ji Wuye looked at the Emerald Tiger and said, "Tiger, those nobles who invested money in the Treasure Pavilion are now in your hands."
Jade Tiger was gloomy. With so many nobles, if one of them failed, he would be pushed out and killed like a pig. He didn't think Ji Wuye would take care of him after so many years of friendship.
"Tiger understands."
His mind worked quickly. The gold coins in the Treasure Pavilion were not a small amount. Ye Mu's entire net worth was estimated to be less than 500,000 or 600,000 gold coins. How could he prevent these nobles from pursuing him?
After talking for a while, Ji Wuye calmed down. Since he could sit in this position, he was definitely not a brainless idiot.
"It seems that Liusha has already moved the gold coins outside the city. What Lao Hu said is correct. So many gold coins require a lot of carriages to load. With the royal city as the center, search the area within a radius of 20 miles. We must find the hideout of Tianze and Liusha!"
The Blood-Cloaked Marquis drank the red wine in the bronze goblet in one gulp.
"I will lead the team myself this time!"
Jade Tiger's fat face twitched. He knew the character of the Marquis very well. The Marquis took the initiative to lead the troops, which meant bloodshed. If he didn't see the enemy's blood, Tiger's mouth twitched when he thought of this. He would bleed heavily.

Zhang Kaidi said solemnly: "Since Queen Mother Xia, Han has had close relations with Qin. Now that something like this has happened, the king is deeply uneasy and worried that the relationship between Qin and Han will break down. He specially asked me to bring a small gift and entrust it to Master Chengjiao to deliver to Xianyang."
Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "I am in Xinzheng, so I know that this matter is not the fault of Han State. Don't worry, Prime Minister. Cheng Jiao will write a letter and send it to Brother Wang tomorrow to explain the facts."
Zhang Kai breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, thank you, Lord Chang'an."
"Prime Minister, you don't have to be so serious. Han Fei and I are good friends, and Zifang is also my friend. In terms of seniority, you are of the same generation as my grandmother. You are embarrassing me by being so serious."
Zhang Kai said cheerfully: "Changan Jun is young and promising. Please give me more guidance in the future. I will not disturb Changan Jun and the Ninth Master's leisure time. I will take my leave first."
After saying this, he exchanged glances with Zhang Liang and nodded. Zhang Liang naturally understood that his grandfather wanted him to stay.
After Zhang Kaidi left, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed. After all, an old man here would always make young people feel restrained unconsciously.
Then the music and the dance~
Nongyu slowly played the piano music, while Liwu and Jingwei sat beside Chengjiao.
"Now Xinzheng is blocked by Ji Wuye, and all vehicles passing through will be searched. This time, the King of Han asked me to send gifts to build relations, which is also an opportunity." Han Fei nodded after hearing what Cheng Jiao said: "Indeed, after our planning, Ji Wuye will focus on the area around Xinzheng. In addition, this is something that my father specially sent, so it will not be searched."
Cheng Jiao: "I have promised the property obtained by Tianze to the farmers. I will pay for this. Zi Nu, how many gold coins do you have now?"
"There are 284,300 gold coins in Xinzheng, and 157,500 gold coins in Lanxiu Villa, a total of 441,800 gold coins."
Zi Nu has already placed the gold coins in secret locations throughout Xinzheng. Only Wei Zhuang and she know that there are still 150,000 gold coins in Zi Lan Xuan that have not been transferred in time.
Han Fei did a quick mental calculation: "According to the 30:70 split, Master Cheng Jiao should get 392,600 gold coins."
Cheng Jiao wanted to find a pen and paper to do some calculations, to give the ancients a little shock of modern addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but he was shocked by Han Fei. He actually encountered the legendary monster.
"The money Tianze gets will not exceed 50,000 gold coins. This time, not only did Zi Lan Xuan help, but Brother Wei Zhuang's Qi Jue Tang also contributed a lot. Brother Han not only gave advice, but also did it himself. Zi Fang even took the initiative to lobby the Prime Minister. If I take another 70%, it will not be good."
Zi Nu chuckled and said, "You have also contributed a lot, why are you being reserved now?"
Cheng Jiao shook his head slightly: "I was just talking nonsense. As for the specific matters, without the cooperation of Han Fei, Wei Zhuang and others, it is impossible to carry out the action. After all, Xinzheng is not Xianyang."
Han Fei smiled and asked, "How do you plan to divide it, Master Cheng Jiao?"
Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "It's still 30% to 70%, but I'm willing to take out 50,000 gold coins to make a bet with Brother Han."
Han Fei was stunned. He didn't know why Cheng Jiao was betting so much money. Fifty thousand gold coins were enough to pay several months' salary for an army of 100,000.
"Please speak, Master Cheng Jiao, but please make it clear that the bet cannot be too difficult."
Cheng Jiao looked at Little Red Riding Hood like a big bad wolf: "It's not difficult, on the contrary, it's very easy."
Zi Nu asked curiously, "What?"
"If Brother Han is forced to leave Korea, I hope he can come to me first."
Zi Nu blinked: "That's it?"
"Well, that's it."
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Lord Chang'an is so kind and righteous that he has taken great pains to give Brother Han 50,000 gold coins."
Han Fei smiled bitterly and said, "You don't think highly of me? Although Quicksand is not as good as Nightfall, with so much money, it won't push me into despair."
Cheng Jiao said softly: "Brother Han, I can only tell you to think more."
Zhang Liang and Han Fei looked serious, knowing that Cheng Jiao had something to say. These 50,000 gold coins were not easy to take. Cheng Jiao asked Han Fei to find him, and the underlying meaning was to let Han Fei do something for him. We were all friends here, and some things were not easy to say.
Cheng Jiao knew that Han Fei would be held hostage in Qin in a few years, so he offered 50,000 gold coins, which seemed a lot, but was still too low for a talent like Han Fei. If Zheng Ge knew that he could buy Han Fei's service with money, he would have just given him 500,000 gold coins.
