One Hundred and Eighty-Two: Life without Love (1)
Xu Ke is very clear about his ability, and one person's energy is limited, it is impossible to cover everything, even if he can, it will take an unimaginable time and energy for ordinary people. Compared with the final result, the investment cost is too high. The loss outweighs the gain.
Now there is a Meng Hun, which means that he can get away from complicated and trivial things and have more time to study books.
Although the Liu family is not considered a top gentry, they have quite a rich collection of books, and those slips of letters were unimaginable to Xu Ke.
In the past, he could truly love a volume of slips like a treasure, and eagerly studied and pondered them over and over again.
Now facing a whole "treasure house", he has to spend so much energy doing things that he is not good at, can he not feel sad?
It's all right now, Meng Hun took over some things, it's too late for Xu Ke to be happy, and naturally he doesn't care about his husband's jokes.
It's just...Xu Ke still has some doubts in his heart, when did his lord take Meng Hun down?
Although he knew that this person was very good at deceiving people, but Meng Hun had seen the world before, so why was he so easy to swindle?
While Meng Hun was going to settle down with some brothers, Jiang Pengji glanced at Xu Ke and spoke angrily.
"Why are you looking at me like a trafficker?"
Xu Ke sighed, "Mr. Lang's ability to persuade people is not comparable to those of human traffickers? It has only been a long time, and this Captain Meng Hun was subdued by Mr. Lang in a few clicks... Really, Bing Your speed is so fast that there is no time for Ke to react."
As an accountant, he also needs time to make arrangements, okay?
As the "chief coach", Meng Hun must live in a spacious place, not much good, the most basic cleanliness is still required.
The previous batch of servants who were bought had already been divided into several groups, and they formed familiar small circles with each other.
At this time, the few subordinates brought by Meng Hun who were suddenly airborne, if they can't handle it well, what should they do if there is a rift between everyone in the trilogy?
Not to mention these things, Xu Ke will always send someone to prepare bedding and clothes for them, and the kitchen dinner should also be prepared for the airborne few people, right?
It came so suddenly, without any prior notice, he suddenly had the illusion that he was the housekeeper.
In other words, which accountant will take care of so many messy trivial matters?
The corners of Jiang Pengji's mouth twitched when she heard that, what Xu Ke said was as if she had done something to Meng Hun.
"It's probably the fate of heaven, just like I can meet Xiaoyu, I should also meet Meng Hun."
Now it's Xu Ke's turn to be silent, even though it's been a long time, but...he hasn't forgotten the details of what happened that day!
Speechlessly glanced at Jiang Pengji, Xu Ke whispered to her, "Since Coach Meng surrendered, wouldn't that Meng Ting..."
"That's right, I've got the letter from the bamboo slips." Jiang Pengji raised her lips suddenly, "That Meng Bin...hehe, it's also thanks to his sharp eyes when he was reincarnated, otherwise, with his brain, I really don't know if he can grow up alive. !"
Impressive IQ!
To be able to give birth to a son with such a low IQ, and to raise his son into such a waste, Meng Ting's parents are hard enough.
Xu Ke asked, "I don't know how much food you want?"
"More than five hundred stones...Meng Ji filled it out by himself,
But I think this number is too small, how many people can eat? "
Jiang Pengji snorted, she was not a beggar, she just wanted to give away a few hundred shi of grain, so she was too underestimated.
Xu Ke also said, "More than five hundred shi is indeed a little less. Anyway, the Meng family is not short of food, so we just need two thousand shi. Not to mention that the food delivery team set off from Mengjun to Hejian. Consuming rice is also a huge number..."
During the conversation between the two, they increased the originally set five hundred shi rice grain to two thousand shi, which was so arrogant that it deserved a beating.
"It's just, how does Mr. Lang plan to deliver this letter to Mrs. Meng?"
Xu Ke wrote a blackmail letter from the "kidnapper" with his unusual left hand. The content stated that Meng Yi was in his own hands. If he wanted to redeem him, he could follow the letter. He would replace him with rice and grain, and he would not accept bribes of gold and silver. , Be sure to deliver the rice within x days of receiving the letter.
Of course, the kidnappers were blamed directly on Meng Hun's head.
I have already broken with my old club, and I can do it a little harder.
Hearing this, Jiang Pengji chuckled lightly and said, "What's so difficult about this question? We don't need to send someone to send the letter all the way to the Meng Mansion in Meng County. We just need to put this thing in the room of the gambling house." The woodshed will do.”
Xu Ke almost threw the brush with his left hand, how could his husband be so capable?
The other party knows everything, and always feels that his brain is redundant and unhappy.
"Why is Mr. Lang so determined?"
"Meng Ting mixed into Hejian County after he got rid of his subordinates. In other words, when those subordinates were looking for people, there was a high possibility that they would take a detour. It is very likely that the time to arrive in Hejian County will be a day or two later... More importantly, there was no trace of Meng Yi's retinue last night, so I guess they should arrive tonight or tomorrow night at the latest."
It doesn't matter whether he is one day late or two or three days late, this is not the point, the point is that after those followers arrived in Hejian, the first stop must be to go to the firewood room of the gambling workshop to search for traces of Meng Yi. Naturally, two obvious letters will be seen.
"If those subordinates knew that Meng Que was dead, they would not dare to send the letter back for fear of being investigated by the Meng family. They might disperse and flee for their lives. But if they are not sure whether Meng Que is dead? Then the result will be completely different. gone."
Jiang Pengji continued leisurely, "When they see the blackmail letter sent by the kidnappers, they will think that the kidnappers are profitable, and Meng Ting is still alive until their greed is satisfied. In this way, they will definitely use their lives to save money. Send the two letters back to Cangzhou Meng County as quickly as possible, so as not to waste time and make Meng Ting suffer more, and after rescuing the person, maybe he can make a great contribution."
The meanings of Meng Ting's death and life are completely different.
If he died, the Meng family would have to pay for their lives regardless of whether it was Meng Ji who threw off his subordinates by himself.
If he was alive, even if the Meng family cleared up the charges of ineffective supervision of the subordinates, Gu Nianmeng's behavior would double the compensation to the subordinates.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Pengji was just plotting those followers to risk their lives to deliver the two letters safely to Mrs. Meng.
Xu Ke: "..."
Jiang Pengji couldn't help laughing when she saw the loveless expression, "I know why you asked in such detail, aren't you looking forward to my doubts asking you back, and then you spout the same content... right? ?”
Mr. Lang, we can still have friendship if we see through it or not, but now...the friendship is over! (To be continued.)
