Chapter 246 Upper Strategy

Looking at Cui Yuan, Lin Huazhi raised the corners of his mouth: "Your Excellency, if I knew who wanted to harm me, I don't think I would have asked you yesterday. My lord, although I'm just a woman, I'm serious.

"Do you think I'm telling you a joke? Lin Huazhi, you know what I mean.

But Lin Huazhi shook his head: "Your excellency, please say something. There is no need to do this. If you were me, do you think meeting in this way is to say these boring words?

Cui Yuan half squinted: "I know you don't like me, and I..." After a pause, Cui Yuan continued, "It's okay, no need for everyone to continue to install. You don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. Aren't you just afraid that I will stab you again afterwards?"

Lin Huazhi nodded generously: "Yes, what my lord said is very true. I'm really afraid. Unlike adults, I don't have an imperial concubine above me to protect me. Do you know that Cui Yuan is uneasy and kind-hearted and wants to trap her first so that she can be the wrongdoer?

Cui Yuan sighed, "Lin Huazhi, won't you miss me at all?"

"Good? What's good about adults?" Lin Huazhi made a clear attitude and wanted her to be the first bird.

Cui Yuan had no choice but to take a look at Lin Huazhi and whispered a name in her ear.

Lin Huazhi frowned and asked for a long time, "How sure are you?"

"Half and half." Cui Yuan saw Lin Huazhi's disbelief and continued, "I can't understand many things, so I'm not very sure."

Lin Huazhi looked at Cui Yuan. How credible are his words? What if Cui Yuan is lying to her? From the first time Cui Yuan met, Lin Huazhi knew that he was not credible, so he had to think carefully about what Cui Yuan said before coming to a conclusion.

Cui Yuan seemed to know that Lin Huazhi did not believe in him. During Lin Huazhi's consideration, he did not say anything. Lifting the curtain and looking outside, Cui Yuan said, "I'm here, get out of the car."

After getting out of the car with Cui Yuan, Lin Huazhi found her standing in front of a yard, very quiet around and no one could be seen.

"What is this?"

"In one of my other courtyards, no one has always come because of the secludedness. It's a good place to talk. Cui Yuan explained and took Lin Huazhi into the yard.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances. It is elegant and clean everywhere. The servants are only equipped with two people. An old man guards the porter's house, and the other is a 40-year-old aunt who is usually responsible for cleaning and cooking.

After a brief look, Lin Huazhi teased Cui Yuan: "Isn't this the yard where you used to hide in the golden house?"

Cui Yuan smiled and didn't explain, but he didn't say no.

Lin Huazhi is not interested in Cui Yuan's private life, and she is not interested in further information when she sees that Cui Yuan does not speak. The two entered the room one after the other. There were several rows of bookshelfs in it. It was probably the so-called study. The aunt sent hot tea and retreated out. Lin Huazhi looked at Cui Yuan pouring a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of him and said, "Since you have doubts, why don't you report it to the official?"

Just in the carriage, Lin Huazhi was thinking about this problem. With Cui Yuan's ability, even if he is not fully sure, he can solve the matter quietly by himself, and there is no need to tell her. But now Cui Yuan obviously wants to pull her into the water, or wants to borrow her hand for some purpose.

Don't blame her for thinking too much. In fact, Cui Yuan is too unreliable. Summarizing the previous relationship between the two is nothing more than being used and being used. There is no good relationship between her and Cui Yuan at all. It was because of this that Lin Huazhi had to think more for fear of accidentally falling into the trap again, so that her loss would be great.

Cui Yuan took a sip of tea before saying, "We are not outsiders. Some words are hard to say. But in front of you, I'm not afraid to tell the truth. In this case, if I misjudged, not only will it cause trouble to others, but the most important thing is to affect me. The second reason is that the other party is a calculating person. I'm afraid of frightening the snake. At that time, the other party will fight for both sides. Shouldn't I suffer losses?

Lin Huazhi laughed and said, "It turns out that the adult has calculated well in the morning. In other words, the adult was afraid that it would affect his official career, so he took me with a knife. But my lord, I'm more afraid than you. I have no power and no power. The other party is not a kind master. What should I do if the adults force people to give me an operation?

Cui Yuan will calculate others, won't others calculate him? Lin Huazhi couldn't help but be angry when she saw Cui Yuan talking only for his own sake. She is not a fool. Although she has some doubts in her heart, at present, she has no loss. Why should she listen to Cui Yuan?

Obviously heard that Lin Huazhi was unwilling to cooperate, Cui Yuan continued to persuade him: "Don't make a conclusion earlier. Since I came to you, I will not wrong you. Although Zhao Cailing won the first place in the silk-making conference, I'm afraid you won't be able to make money in the future if you only have an empty name. The premise of Sun Zhengming's cooperation with the Zhang family is that the Zhang family promises to lend him money, otherwise Sun Zhengming's nature will not accompany you to pour those cloths in Beijing.

Lin Huazhi's face turned cold: "Is this threatening me? Then I'm not afraid to tell the truth to the adults. Even if Cailing only has an empty name, it won't affect me to make money. It's just a matter of more money. What does Sun Zhengming have to do with the Zhang family? I'm not from the Zhang family or the Sun family. Why should I care? My lord, you are a smart person. You should know that it is useless to threaten me with Zhao Cailing.

After being laughed at by Lin Huazhi with a strong gun and stick, Cui Yuan still looked indifferent. He said, "Lin Huazhi, I'm not threatening you. Although you are in the name of an imperial merchant, if I really want to suppress you, I can take away your reputation as a merchant. I'm saying this to you now. First, I want to cooperate with you, and second, I'm helping you.

Lin Huazhi couldn't help sneering: "Help me? What can adults do for me? When did you help me besides threatening me?

This sentence is more lethal than any previous sentence. A suspicious red appeared on Cui Yuan's face. Hearing him cough, Cui Yuan said seriously, "Lin Huazhi, I know you have been investigating the cause of Chen Suyue's death. Maybe I can give you a clear answer to what you want to know."

Lin Huazhi was stunned. What did Cui Yuan just... say?

Seeing Lin Huazhi's face, Cui Yuan secretly took a long breath. Sure enough, she had to hit seven inches to hit the snake: "It is said that Chen Suyue died in an accident. In fact, Chen Suyue died of poisoning. She was poisoned by a very special poison - 'Butterfly Dance Dust'. Lin Huazhi, you should know that I'm not lying to you.

Cui Yuan can say the four words "butterfly dance dust", which shows that he has made great efforts. There is no secret in this world. Since Lin Huazhi can be investigated, there is no reason why Cui Yuan will not do the same thing, just...

After a long silence, Lin Huazhi suddenly smiled: "Your excellency, you are so painstaking that you must let me face to face with that person. What on earth do you want?"

A trace of complicated things flashed quickly in Cui Yuan's eyes, but he just said indifferently, "Lin Huazhi, I said before that I have my concerns. Maybe you don't understand now, but I believe you will understand one day with your cleverness.

Lin Huazhi didn't say anything. In fact, the last condition proposed by Cui Yuan really moved Lin Huazhi. Looking at Cui Yuan, Lin Huazhi was still hesitant to believe him.

Cui Yuan has something to be afraid of, and she also has something to be afraid of.

Can you believe that?

I don't know how long it took, Lin Huazhi sighed quietly and slowly opened his mouth, "Lord Cui knows so many things, can you give me a hint?"

Cui Yuan showed a slightly strange smile on his face and slowly spit out three words: "Peng Fugui."

Is this? Lin Huazhi is puzzled and sounds like a person's name, and it sounds very familiar. She asked Cui Yuan, "Who is this person? Do you know each other?"

Cui Yuan shook his head: "I don't know him, but... maybe you know him."

Who does she know? Lin Huazhi is confused. Although she is not as smart as Lin Yuyang, she is not so forgetful that she can't remember the people she has met. But after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't find a person named Peng Fugui in her memory.

"What exactly is it? I dare not make a conclusion yet. Two days later, I got some news, and I will send someone to tell you then. Cui Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Lin Huazhi, although I am not good, I will not take other people's lives at will. Please understand my inaction, and I will send someone to protect you secretly and never let you get hurt.

Lin Huazhi said, who was not very interested, "It's naturally a good thing that adults can send people to secretly protect me, so that I can at least feel relieved." Why did he say that it was the right thing to send someone to protect her? Lin Huazhi just couldn't get used to Cui Yuan's calculations against her.

Seeing that Lin Huazhi was slightly tired, Cui Yuan turned around and took a cloak from the soft couch behind the screen and surrounded her. Lin Huazhi was shocked and a little unaccustomed, mainly because Cui Yuan's behavior was very abnormal to her.

"Pay attention to your body when it's cold."

Cui Yuan didn't say it was okay. As soon as she said it, Lin Huazhi felt a little stiff. After thinking about it, she did not return her cloak to Cui Yuan. Instead, she tightened it and looked up at Cui Yuan. She said, "I was going to go to the Du family, you..."

"I'll take you there."

Slightly stunned, Lin Huazhi was surprised. Cui Yuan was really too abnormal. The so-called "extreme things must be reversed". Lin Huazhi said to himself, isn't all this designed by Cui Yuan today?

After looking at Cui Yuan again for a while, Lin Huazhi said with no expression, "Let's go. I've been out for a long time."

When he arrived at the Du family, Lin Huazhi did not drive Cui Yuan away. Instead, he asked Master Du for mandala flowers in front of him. This favor was originally intended to be recorded on Cui Yuan. Once it was for Cui Ting, Cui Yuan's eyes couldn't help but brighten when he looked at Lin Huazhi.

After coming out of the Du family, Cui Yuan asked, "Where are you going now?"

Looking at Cui Yuan, Lin Huazhi said, "I'm a little tired. Take me home." Then he closed his eyes and sat aside, keeping a distance from Cui Yuan.

......

The first thing Lin Yuyang did when he went home at night was to find Lin Huazhi.

Lin Huazhi was reading the account book. Lin Yuyang sat opposite her and was not in a hurry to open his mouth. Instead, he brightened the candlelight on the table.

Looking up at Lin Yuyang, Lin Huazhi said, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yuyang looked at her with a smile and nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as I got home today, I heard an interesting thing and rushed over to have fun with you."

"Oh, what's the happy thing?" As if he knew what Lin Yuyang was going to say, Lin Huazhi put the brush in his hand aside and raised his chin to look at Lin Yuyang.

"I heard that you took Cui Yuan's carriage when you came home this afternoon?"

"Yes, it was delivered to the gate, and many people saw it."

"What is this?" Lin Yuyang's eyes were sharp and pointed to the cloak hung on the hanger by Lin Huazhi and asked.

Looking back, Lin Huazhi honestly said, "That's Cui Yuan's cloak."

"Oh..." Lin Yuyang dragged a long voice, suddenly approached Lin Huazhi, stared into her eyes and asked, "Don't you have an affair with Cui Yuan?"

Lin Huazhi laughed: "Just because of a cloak, do you suspect that there is something wrong with me and Cui Yuan? Lin Yuyang, you are usually very smart. Why did you become stupid?

"No wonder not?" Lin Yuyang sat upright and said, "Cui Yuan is quite good. If you like him, it's acceptable for me to be my brother-in-law."

Lin Huazhi is funny: "No, I still want to live two more years."

"Then you are with him?" Lin Yuyang didn't understand, and Lin Huazhi didn't seem to be perfunctory.

Lin Huazhi asked, "Have there been any changes in the court recently?"

Lin Yuyang was stunned, hesitated for a while, and whispered, "Sister, have you heard anything?"

As soon as she raised her eyebrows, Lin Huazhi knew that Lin Yuyang had something to say. Thinking that Lin Yuyang often went to Lord Meng's Mansion recently, she suddenly thought of a possibility and quickly whispered, "Is Your Majesty going to abdicate?"

Lin Yuyang stared at her for a quarter of an hour, then blinked and said, "I didn't say anything."

Isn't this a lie?

Lin Huazhi couldn't help sneering. She also wondered why Cui Yuan was so abnormal today. No wonder. Now think about it carefully, there is no reason for Cui Yuan to occupy all the advantages. Courtesy and reciprocity are the best strategy.

She suddenly had a good idea.
