Chapter 412 Negotiating a Business with King Yu
Shen Ruzhou stood up to greet him generously, and replied with a smile on his face: "Exactly. I want to sell a piece of information to King Yu. It's not expensive, only 500 taels."
King Yu had just sat down and immediately jumped up when he heard Shen Ruzhou's loud mouth, "Why don't you go and grab it? What kind of information is worth 500 taels?"
Just kidding, as if his money was blown by the wind.
Shen Ruzhou Chengzhu held his chest, leaned on the back of the chair, and said calmly: "Don't worry, King Yu. Since I dare to ask for such a price, I have such valuable news to tell you."
"Prince Yu, do you think the news that can give you a severe blow to Xiao Chenyan is worth 500 taels?"
Shen Ruzhou's snake hit seven inches directly spoke to King Yu's heart.
Sure enough, the next moment King Yu lost his previous anger and became interested. He asked impatiently, "What's the news? It would be worth it if it really makes Xiao Chenyan embarrassed."
Shen Ruzhou's eyes flashed, and he felt that the 500 taels of silver were already in his pocket.
"The imperial court wants to purchase a large amount of grain and transport it to southern Xinjiang, and in these few days, time is very urgent. If you buy the grain now, King Yu, you will definitely make a lot of money by selling it when the time comes..."
"This king is not short of money." Before Shen Ruzhou could finish his words, he was coldly interrupted by King Yu.
Shen Ruzhou was not upset. After all, he was a white wolf with nothing to show for it. How could he blame the wolf for having a bad temper?
"Don't worry, Prince Yu. Listen to me. The emperor will definitely appoint Xiao Chenyan to do the grain trade in southern Xinjiang. You can use this to make a fuss and reap the benefits."
"It's a good idea, but is the information accurate?" King Yu was obviously moved and curious about the authenticity of Shen Ruzhou's information.
Shen Ruzhou didn't hide it, and said directly: "That day, Xiao Chenyan approached the Southern Xinjiang envoy Mo Ru about exchanging food for marriage. I was right next to him and heard it with my own ears. There was no way it was false."
"No wonder the eldest princess's complexion has improved a lot in the past few days. It turns out that Jianing's marriage was cancelled." Prince Yu murmured to himself, but in the end he still felt uneasy and asked one more question, "Why did Miss Shen betray Xiao Chenyan? After all, you are still a couple."
Shen Ruzhou suddenly felt speechless. Why was King Yu so annoying? He kept asking endless questions, but for the sake of 500 taels of silver, he still endured it and patiently explained: "It's not that you don't know that Xiao Chenyan spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife. If he has reached the point of divorce, I will naturally not wish him well, I wish he would be unlucky every day."
Hearing this, King Yu thought it was quite reasonable. He also thought that Shen Ruzhou had already hooked up with Bei Xiuyan, and felt that it was reasonable for her to betray Xiao Chenyan.
For the first time, King Yu felt that Shen Ruzhou was not an ordinary person. She could walk between Xiao Chenyan and Bei Xiuyan at the same time. He was afraid that she knew many secrets.
King Yu immediately ordered the housekeeper to bring 500 taels of silver notes, and expressed his intention of long-term cooperation, "Miss Shen, if you have any reliable information in the future, please sell it to me. The price is negotiable." King Yu said He seems to be very wealthy. As long as he can ascend to the throne, spending a little money is nothing.
Shen Ruzhou put the 500 taels of silver notes in his arms and smiled from ear to ear.She readily agreed to Prince Yu's proposal.
Anyway, she already knows the methods Xiao Chenyan used to deal with King Yu in the previous life. In the future, she can sell some information to King Yu from time to time. This will not only add trouble to Xiao Chenyan, but she will also make money, so why not do it.
Suddenly, there was a rush of gong sounds outside, "The water is leaking, the water is leaking..."
The guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a fire in the backyard. Go and have a look."
King Yu's face was full of anxiety, he didn't bother to entertain Shen Ruzhou, and hurriedly ordered people to put out the fire.
Shen Ruzhou was about to leave after receiving the silver. As soon as he walked out of the study, he met Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing saw her expression as if she saw a ghost, and her face suddenly turned pale.She had searched all over Prince Yu's Mansion in the past few days but could not find Shen Ruzhou, so she concluded that Prince Yu had hidden her in the secret room in the backyard. She originally wanted to burn her to death with this fire, but she didn't expect that she would come out of the study from came out.
"Why are you here?" Mu Wanqing pointed at Shen Ruzhou and asked sharply.
"What's wrong with me here? Of course King Yu invited me here." How could Shen Ruzhou know that Mu Wanqing's mind had already taken so many twists and turns in the short moment when the two of them collided head-on.
Mu Wanqing cursed secretly in her heart, "I'll catch you, I'll catch you, and I'll say please" so brazenly.
She was sure that Shen Ruzhou was trying to escape and immediately ordered the maid to arrest him.
Qiu Ying was the most loyal and was the first to rush forward. Unexpectedly, Shen Ruzhou had been prepared. He took out the silver needle from his sleeve and stabbed Qiu Ying unconscious with a clean movement.
When the other maids saw this, they no longer dared to act rashly. They looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.
Shen Ruzhou's face lit up with pride, he turned around and swaggered out of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Mu Wanqing gritted her teeth in hatred, but the guards had no choice but to go to the backyard to put out the fire. At this time, there were only these few maids around, and they were really useless.
After leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, Shen Ruzhou was in a hurry to hand over the remaining money to Shopkeeper Chen, but did not notice that Xiao Chenyan was outside the mansion.
He was very happy to see Shen Ruzhou come out intact. Wanqing really did what she said and rescued Shen Ruzhou so quickly.
He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Ruzhou, "Thanks to Princess Yu, you were able to escape smoothly this time. You must thank her properly later."
These words made Shen Ruzhou explode on the spot, "Xiao Chenyan, you must be mentally ill, I just came out after I was knocked unconscious by the person who came to arrest me."
As he spoke, Shen Ruzhou showed the silver needle on his fingertip, with blood beads hanging on it.
Xiao Chenyan didn't argue. He didn't care why he came out now, as long as he was fine.
"Let's go back to the other courtyard with me. I was negligent before, but I will definitely protect you in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ruzhou pushed him away and said solemnly: "I won't go with you. I've already prescribed Grandma You's medicine. You just need to give her the medicine according to the prescription. After one month The medicine is guaranteed to cure the disease.”
Xiao Chenyan said: "You were kidnapped by King Yu's people two days ago. Fortunately, there was no danger. I don't know what dangers there will be in the future."
Hearing Xiao Chenyan mention King Yu, and thinking about the information he had just sold, Shen Ruzhou felt a little guilty, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chenyan continued, "It is safer for you to stay with me, and I will feel more at ease if you personally take care of Aunt You."
After hearing this, she finally understood a little and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Then he raised his eyebrows and replied: "In my opinion, staying with King Wu Cheng is the most unsafe, so I won't bother you with my affairs."
There is something wrong with Xiao Chenyan. He has been showing great courtesy to him recently, but Shen Ruzhou doesn't care about him.
Here, Xiao Chenyan seemed not to have heard Shen Ruzhou's words. Looking at Shen Ruzhou's thin face, his eyes were full of heartache, "Ruzhou, you have suffered in the past two days, and I will definitely compensate you well."
Shen Ruzhou gave him a big look. She was obviously so haggard because she had to take care of Bei Xiuyan. However, since Xiao Chenyan said she wanted to compensate, she had no reason to refuse, "In that case, let's compensate with money. I will also Don’t ask for much, just 500 taels.”
Shen Ruzhou reached out and took the opportunity to blackmail.
