Chapter 302: Winning over Master Xue
"What!?"
When Chen Yuanyuan heard Mu Qingqing's words, she was stunned!
Someone paid a large sum of money to bribe the villagers of Zhoujia Village and several surrounding villages! ?
This...isn't this too much!?
"Sister Qingqing, how do you know these things?" Chen Yuanyuan looked at Mu Qingqing in shock.
Hearing this, Mu Qingqing smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Sister Yuanyuan, news of these things has already been received from Zhoujia Village, but I was afraid that you would be too anxious, so I didn't tell you."
"I see."
Chen Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Chen Yuanyuan immediately asked, "Sister Qingqing, do you mean that Zhang Ze is trying to find a way to investigate the situation in the village and get the formula for honeycomb charcoal?"
"Then...can the village withstand it?"
Chen Yuanyuan thought of the methods used by these powerful people and her face was filled with worry.
"It's okay. Yan'er is in the village, so nothing will happen."
"What's more, those who really come into contact with honeycomb charcoal and the core people in the village are all Jiang Chen's confidants. They are not so easy to be bribed~"
Mu Qingqing smiled calmly.
Jiang Chen has been running Zhoujia Village for such a long time. If someone can infiltrate so easily, then it would be better for him to abandon Zhoujia Village.
However, Mu Qingqing is not worried about Zhang Ze now, but... Xue Wenyan.
They learned from those who were bribed that someone asked them to investigate Zheng He's situation.
This person was obviously bribed by Xue Wenyan.
Xue Da and the others didn't know about these situations.
It seems that Xue Wenyan has already begun to doubt the Xue family.
Moreover, he never let go of his suspicion of Jiang Chen.
In addition, Zhang Ze has been pestering Xue Linglong recently.
If Xue Linglong can't control herself and is succeeded by Zhang Ze, then... Xue Wenyan will most likely side with Zhang Ze.
By then, things will be difficult!
……
It's easy to get rid of Xue Wenyan, but... the relationship between Xue Wenyan and Xue Sanye, and between Xue Sanye and Jiang Chen...
Mu Qingqing felt helpless when she thought about this.
Although she can see some things clearly, it does not mean that she can make decisions for Jiang Chen.
At the same time, Mr. Xue San was drinking alone in an inn in Luzhou County.
It has been a month since he came to Luzhou County.
During this month, he stayed at home and rarely went out.
Apart from drinking every day, he locks himself in the room.
"Jiang Chen, did you really do this?"
"But... why are you doing this?!"
"Why!"
Mr. Xue San raised the wine jug and took a sip. The spicy wine flowed down the corners of his mouth.
Two days ago, Xue Wenyan once again went to see Mr. Xue Sanye.
This time, Xue Wenyan's implicit meaning was that he wanted Mr. Xue San to help him investigate the matter of Zheng He!
Mr. Xue San naturally knew what this meant.
But, between Jiang Chen and Xue Wenyan, who should he choose?
If Jiang Chen was replaced by someone else, Mr. Xue would definitely choose Xue Wenyan without hesitation.
But Jiang Chen...that's his sworn brother!
Jiang Chen helped him a lot.
And the most important point is that Mr. Xue San felt that... Jiang Chen... did nothing wrong in these things!
Except for the fact that Jiang Chen killed Xue Bin.
Of course, the premise is that this is true!
Therefore, Mr. Xue San became even more miserable.
For a moment, he really didn't know how to choose.
Just as Mr. Xue was drinking to drown his sorrows, there was a knock on his door.
"who!?"
When Mr. Xue heard the knock on the door, his face suddenly changed!
……
"Haha, Brother Xue, it's me, Zhang Tao!"
From outside the room, a flattering voice was heard.
"Zhang Tao?"
Mr. Xue frowned slightly.
He seemed to have heard of this name...
I remembered!
He is the follower of Eunuch Zhang’s adopted son!
The other party, how come to find him! ?
Mr. Xue San came to the door with a frown on his face.
"Brother Zhang, you came to see me for something?" Mr. Xue asked, forcing a smile.
"Hahaha, Brother Xue, I just happened to pass by here, so I wanted to come and have a drink with you!"
"You look like you're drinking too. How about... let's drink together?" Zhang Tao said with a smile on his face, holding a pot of wine.
"No need, I've finished drinking. If you have nothing else to do, Brother Zhang, please go back!" Mr. Xue said indifferently.
He wouldn't drink with just anyone.
What's more, this Zhang Tao definitely didn't just happen to pass by!
The other party must have come to find him on purpose!
He has been troubled enough recently because of the matter between Xue Wenyan and Jiang Chen.
I don't want to get involved in other things anymore.
"Haha, Brother Xue, you can have a few more drinks after you finish drinking!"
"My son, I have something to tell you!"
Seeing Mr. Xue Sanye's aloof look, Zhang Tao quickly mentioned Zhang Ze.
When Mr. Xue heard Zhang Ze, his expression changed slightly.
"Please come in!"
Even though Mr. Xue Sanye did not have a good impression of Eunuch Zhang's adopted son, he tried his best not to offend him.
After all, someone of Zhang Ze's level was not someone he could offend casually.
……
After arriving in the room and sitting down, Zhang Tao poured a glass of wine for Mr. Xue Sanye.
"Brother Xue, you've been drinking a lot. What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Zhang Tao asked with a smile.
"Haha, what could I have on my mind? I just love wine!" Mr. Xue smiled faintly.
"Hahaha, a wine lover? What a coincidence! The wine I brought today is really good!"
"Come on, let's have a drink first!"
Zhang Tao said this and raised his glass.
Seeing this, Mr. Xue San had no choice but to raise his glass.
After one glass of wine, Zhang Tao poured another glass for Mr. Xue Sanye.
He also asked Mr. Xue San with a smile on his face: "How is it, Brother Xue, this wine is good, right?"
"Yes, it's strong enough!" Mr. Xue nodded.
"Hahaha, Brother Xue likes it. I'll get it for you later!"
"Come on, let's have a drink!"
Zhang Tao said this and raised his glass again.
But this time, Mr. Xue did not raise his glass. Instead, he stared at Zhang Tao and said, "Brother Zhang, you just said that the Second Young Master has something to tell me. I wonder... what it is!"
When Zhang Tao heard what Mr. Xue San said, he also put down his wine glass.
He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Xue, to be honest, ever since my master met you, he has been thinking about you and thinks you are a talent!"
"He said it's a pity that you're serving as a lowly yamen runner in a small place like Jinchuan County!"
"I wonder if Brother Xue has any intention of entering the imperial court!"
"Um!?"
When Mr. Xue San heard this, his eyes suddenly shocked!
What does this Zhang Ze mean?
Are you trying to win him over?
"Haha, thank you Master Zhang for your appreciation. I, Xue Lao San, naturally also want to enter the court, but... I don't know what I can do for Master Zhang!"
