Chapter 248: Selling information and making a fortune
After arranging matters at home, Wen Yan rushed to the capital early the next morning.
Qingchuan said that he would set off in three days, and if he didn't go to the capital, he would set off for the northern border.
Ying Zhilin helped Wen Yan put the baggage on the carriage. "I've been studying a lot these days, and I want to eat some snacks from Shiweizhai."
Wen Yan frowned slightly.
Why does Ying Zhilin's tone sound like she's acting like a spoiled child?
No, I must have heard it wrong!
Wen Yan made a 'reassured' gesture towards him, then turned to Pei'er and said, "Let's go."
Two or three carriages drove out of the village together.
One of them belongs to Wen Yan.
The other two were the ones that Uncle Tian used to send Lady Jingmian to Huaying Town.
Passing by the village entrance, Ying Ximei suddenly rushed out.
"Ah—" Pei'er hurriedly stopped the carriage and said angrily, "You're looking for death! If you don't want to live, don't drag us to be buried with you!"
Ying Ximei snorted at Pei'er: "Wen Yan, come down, I'll get enough money..."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Wen Yan's face appeared from the window.
Ying Ximei immediately ran over and took out a purse to show her off: "Here, I've got the money ready. Go and find out where Brother Xiyan is. I want to know this afternoon, or you won't get a penny of this money."
Wen Yan said: "I heard the news a long time ago."
"Then tell me quickly, where is Brother Xi Yan now?"
Wen Yan spread his hands: "Silver."
"What if I give you the money and you act like a jerk and refuse to tell me anything?"
"Don't you have any self-awareness?" Wen Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You guys are as hard to deal with as a dog-skin plaster. I can't even get rid of you, so how dare I get involved with you.
Forget it, since you don't believe me, then go find out the news yourself."
Wen Yan lowered the curtain: "Pei'er, let's go."
"No, no, no, how can you be so stingy that you can't even take a joke.
Here, the silver is for you, tell me quickly." Ying Ximei presented the silver bag with both hands.
Wen Yan took the bag and tossed it to make sure it was the right weight. Then he said, "Meng Xiyan went to Jinyang Prefecture to provide disaster relief. He's now the prefect of Jinyang Prefecture. When he returns from disaster relief, he'll rise to prominence, from a junior general to a senior general."
My vision is really good!
Ying Ximei smiled secretly with joy.
Wen Yan asked Pei'er to drive the carriage and leave.
After reaching Shangguan Road, Wen Yan separated from Uncle Tian and the others.
Wen Yan and his companions arrived in the capital around noon.
After they found an inn to stay in, she sent someone to Bo's house to inform Qingchuan to meet at "Yidianmo".
at the same time.
In Songshan Village, the Laoying family.
A scream came from Mrs. Qiao's room: "Ah... my silver! The house has been robbed, someone come quickly!"
Ying Ximei huddled in the room, trembling. "It's over, it's over! I found out so quickly! Will I beat me to death?"
She wouldn't dare go out even if she was beaten to death.
Until Mrs. Qiao started shouting that she wanted to report to the police.
Ying Ximei had no choice but to go out and confess.
When Mrs. Qiao heard that the money was taken by Ying Ximei, she was so angry that her face twisted.
Ying Ximei was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Wen Yan took Pei'er to have lunch and was about to go to "Yidian Mo".
Suddenly, you encounter soldiers clearing the way, which means a distinguished person is passing by.
Wen Yan quickly pulled Pei'er aside to avoid the situation.
soon.
A low-key procession of carriages arrived.
Wen Yan instantly recognized the logo on the carriage.
It was Concubine Gong's carriage.
After the Chinese New Year, she went to stay in the palace for a while. Now it is the hottest time of the year, why did she come back?
The capital is so hot. The concubine is old. Can her body withstand it?
At this moment, the curtain was lifted from the inside.
Revealing the old lady sitting inside.
The old lady had a head full of silver hair and a face full of traces of time, but still a kind face.
Maybe he noticed Wen Yan's gaze.
She turned around and her eyes met Wen Yan's.
Concubine Gong's eyes softened and she nodded slightly at her.
Wen Yan hurriedly bowed and saluted, not daring to look up again.
Qingchuan arrived quickly at the private room on the second floor of Yidianmo.
After Su He finished serving tea, he left.
"When are you leaving?" Wen Yan asked.
"We have to leave early tomorrow morning. We have a lot of goods this time, and we need to sell them all and return before winter sets in and the snow accumulates."
“Winter comes early in the North. It’s already July, and there are less than two months left. It’s really a bit stressful.
I'm sure you have a lot to do before you leave, so I won't keep you any longer."
"Everything I want to buy is written down here." Wen Yan took out a list and placed it in front of Qingchuan.
She patted a box beside the table and said, "This contains the money I used to buy supplies, but I need you to take them to the border and exchange them for silver.
Of course, I won't let you work in vain. Twenty percent of the money you exchange will be your reward, and the rest will be exchanged for goods."
Qingchuan was curious about what she brought.
I opened the lid of the box a crack and was instantly dazzled by the jewels and precious stones inside.
"You want to replace all these things?" There are quite a few high-quality items inside.
Wen Yan whispered, "I stole this from a bandit's den on the road. No matter how valuable it is, I wouldn't dare spend it in Dayong. I can only ask you to take it to the northern border and deal with it."
"Okay, leave these things to me. I promise to do them beautifully for you." After Qingchuan said this, he hesitated for a moment, took out a brocade box from the stool next to him, and handed it to Wen Yan.
"Is it for me?" Wen Yan took it curiously.
The box was so heavy that she could hardly hold it.
"It's so heavy, it can't be some precious mineral!" Wen Yan became more and more curious. After opening it, she found that there was a huge piece of white jade inside.
The white jade is flawless, oily and smooth, and is a piece of high-quality seed material.
This size is more than enough to carve a jade Buddha or a jade bottle.
Wen Yan immediately closed the box and pushed it back with great effort: "No reward without merit, I cannot accept such a valuable item."
Qingchuan said, "That's not what you said when you lent me several thousand taels of silver."
Wen Yan: “…”
It seems that she has no choice but to accept this jade.
"Then it will cost you money."
After separating from Qingchuan, Wen Yan originally wanted to go to the general's mansion to ask his stepmother for the key, but Jing Mingmei came looking for him.
Several people returned to the box.
"Jiang Rouer couldn't wait to climb onto Huo Yaoxing's bed.
I battle wits and courage with her every day to stop her from getting close to Huo Yaoxing, but it makes me so tired.
When will they be able to fulfill their wish? " Jing Mingmei slumped in her chair, looking tortured and drained of her energy.
Wen Yan covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Now is not the time, I can only ask you to be patient for a few more days."
Jing Mingmei wailed, "This is so frustrating. I feel so aggrieved. Why don't we change our tactics and follow my methods?"
"Don't do that. We can start in a month or so."
If you think about the scene of Huo Yaoxing and his son turning against each other, wouldn't that help you endure it for a few more days?"
"I..., I will endure it!" Jing Mingmei clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
