Chapter 445 Black Eat Black

"Dangtang, the daughter of a fourth-rank official family, appointed a businessman?" Zhu Feng couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Is family status not important anymore?
Mu Zhixu raised his eyebrows and handed over another piece of information, "You will know why after reading this."

After reading the ten lines at a glance, Zhuifeng let out a snort.

The magistrate of Shanhai City was surnamed Xu, who came from a poor family. His wife was the daughter of a merchant, and she had also taken a fancy to his future at the beginning, so she married his daughter to him to fight for the road to success.

Obviously, he does have this ability, and his character is really decent, and he has not abandoned his poor wife.

However, Mu Zhixu suspected that it might be because he was reluctant to part with the generous dowry and the Yue family's money.

Coincidentally, the wife of the prefect Xu and the mistress of the merchant are cousins.

As the two mothers make the decision, the obstacles to the marriage will be gone.

But Mrs. Xu ignored her daughter's persistence and rebellion.

After getting engaged, Ms. Xu accidentally saw Shang Xun, and she couldn't extricate herself from then on.

The merchant's mansion felt that he had lost his family, but he couldn't take the initiative to resign the engagement. After retiring Miss Xu, where could he find another daughter of a fourth-rank official.

A calculating light flashed across Mu Zhixu's eyes, "Pass a letter to Shang Xun."

Their cooperation can begin.

Zhuifeng knew at a glance that she was going to do something, and excitement appeared in her eyes.

Merchants should have a lot of money.

"By the way, send a letter to Su Qingyi as well. Once you find out that the merchant has given money to King Zhenbei, find a way to rob it." She is the best at cheating.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

Mu Zhixu didn't expect her to open her mouth, so she said so. Two days later, she received a message from Su Qingyi that at midnight tonight, the merchant would deliver a batch of grain and grass to King Zhenbei.

Mu Zhixu suddenly became interested, maybe the grain and grass could be sent to Pingcheng and Ancheng.

"Let our people check to see if Prefect Xu knows about this matter." Qin Ming was guarding Shanhai City and the Baicheng in front of Shanhai City. It would be bad if someone stabbed him in the back.

"If you find out, send a letter to General Qin." She wasn't sure if Qin Ming knew, but she had to be fully prepared.

"it is good."

Later, Shang Xun avoided people and came to the other courtyard, and Mu Zhixu met him in the front courtyard.

Shang Xun glanced at the yard, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Who would have thought that when he came back, he would become a guest.

"Okay, don't worry about the things you sent out on your own initiative." Mu Zhixu wanted to laugh.

There are so many misers in the world, and so is she, haha.

Shang Xun glanced at her speechlessly, and went straight to the point, fearing that he would be pissed off if he continued, "The food and grass news you said is true?"

"true."

"How do you want to do it."

"Let me make it easier for you." They were going to start between Shanhai City and Yuncheng, and the best section was a place called Luoxia Valley, where the terrain was steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

More importantly, it is the only way to go from Shanhai City to Yuncheng.

Originally, it was possible to pass through Baicheng, but the two armies are fighting, and the goal of passing through Baicheng is too big, not to mention that Qin Ming is not easy to fool.

Therefore, Sunset Cloud Valley is the only way for them to pass.

And even more coincidentally, Shang Yuchuan sent a message that there was a group of bandits in Luoxia Valley who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and the master behind the scenes was Shang Xun.

"Young Master Shang, it's really well hidden." She looked at Shang Xun meaningfully.

Shang Xun's expression changed, this is the thing he hid the most, where did Mu Zhixu know about it?
"Don't be nervous, we are partners now, I won't cheat you." Mu Zhixu smiled.

But he didn't know that her smile was like a devil in Shang Xun's eyes.

Shang Xun took a deep breath, looked at Mu Zhixu numbly, "You want me to take action?"

"That can't, don't worry, you won't be troubled, we do it ourselves, we just need a name and a place."

The corner of Shang Xun's mouth twitched hard, was he afraid that he would take advantage of him and get a piece of the action?
"...Isn't it a little too much? I take the blame, and you benefit from it?"

"You are also good. How about I help you settle the Xu family?" Mu Zhixu blinked.

Shang Xun looked at her suddenly, "It's a deal!"

It seemed that Mu Zhixu would regret it if he promised Mu Zhixu later.

Mu Zhixu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Miss Xu made you really unbearable?"

"If you don't know, then you are a pervert, oh no, you should have experienced it." He gave Mu Zhixu a hard look.

Otherwise, how would they know about the entanglement between the Xu family and him.

"Because of her, the mansion sees that my nose is not my eyes or my eyes." God knows that he has already pretended to be an idiot in order to hide his strength and bide his time.

Because of this weirdness, his disguise was almost in vain, and his success fell short.

This made the eldest son of the mansion even more embarrassed. Ms. Xu would rather run after an idiot than look back at him.

Seeing that Shang Xun's face was a little distorted, Mu Zhixu was too embarrassed to laugh at him openly, so he secretly laughed twice in his heart.

"That's fine then."

"How do you plan to solve the Xu family?" Shang Xun's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and for the first time he was curious about Mu Zhixu's identity.

"The Buddha said it cannot be said."

"...Forget about this, let me tell you some news." Shang Xun didn't bother to look at Mu Zhixu's inscrutable expression,

"what news?"

"There are already people outside the city breaking into the merchants' villages." He smiled gloatingly.

Their arrangement worked.

The merchant has several big villages outside the city, and there is a lot of food in them.

"Shengmi is kind to fight with Miqiu. It is impossible for merchants to give porridge every day. Once it is cut off, someone will take action." Mu Zhixu also laughed.

Let the merchants worry about them.

……

After Shang Xun left, Mu Zhixu immediately sent Su Qingyi a message.

She asked Zhuifeng to take people there to make sure everything was safe, and Zhufeng added two more guards to the house.

Two days later, the merchant's mansion!

The boy rushed into the front yard in a hurry, "Master, I'm not well anymore, something serious happened!"

"What's the panic, what's wrong? I'm fine?" The current owner of the merchant, Mr. Shang, was blowing his beard and staring, and almost didn't come up.

The boy didn't bother to beg for mercy, "Something happened to our caravan..."

When the people in the lobby of the merchant's front yard heard this, their expressions changed. Master Shang stood up suddenly, his expression changed drastically, "What did you say?! Which caravan has an accident? Tell me clearly!"

"The caravan going to Yuncheng had an accident in... Sunset Cloud Valley..."

"Sunset Cloud Valley?!"

"How is it possible? The people from Sunset Cloud Valley...have already greeted you."

Mr. Shang's face was gloomy, "It's not the first time that people from Sunset Cloud Valley have accepted our favor, how could they backtrack?"

"I don't know. Our caravan was robbed, all the grain, grass and goods were looted, and there are not many people alive..." The boy looked at it in fear and trembled.
