Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

The reason why Chu Mo told Cui Yingying that he was fighting Da Zhou was not only to show off his muscles, but also to test the other party's reaction and to find out the control of intelligence by the woman in front of him. intensity.

Sure enough, after hearing Chu Mo's words, although Cui Yingying looked surprised, there was not much emotion in her eyes except surprise.

Thinking about it, the other party should have known for a long time that the force that destroyed Goguryeo and attacked the Zhou Dynasty was in the same group as the pirates lingering along the coast.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo rolled his eyes and spoke again:

"These are just some of our vanguard troops, just used to test the military strength of the Tang and Zhou Dynasties. If Mrs. Cui is interested, with your relationship with Chu Mo, it is not impossible for the two of us to cooperate."

Cui Yingying's eyes flashed when she heard that she could cooperate, but she quickly covered it up.

"Want to cooperate with me? What benefits can I get?"

"What benefit does Mrs. Cui want?"

Chu Mo asked instead without answering.

"I said that I want to get back together with Chu Mo and get back on good terms with each other. I wonder if you can help me, sir?"

Cui Yingying looked at Chu Mo with a charming smile.

After Chu Mo pondered for a moment, he pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"I'm afraid I can't help you with this. After all, this is a matter between you and your husband. It's your family matter. As an outsider, if I get involved, it will definitely get people talking."

Although Chu Mo did not agree, Cui Yingying heard the intention of matchmaking from the other party's mouth.

After all, this was the first time that the other party admitted that he and Chu Mo were husband and wife, and it was the other party who proposed that they want to cooperate.

It is not difficult to see that the barbarian in front of him may also want to use his identity to consolidate his position in front of Chu Mo.

Thinking of this, Cui Yingying's eyes flashed with pride, and then she asked softly:

"Mr. Marco Polo, I have a question to ask you. Please tell me the truth."

Seeing how solemn Cui Yingying was, Chu Mo immediately cheered up:

"If Mrs. Cui has anything to say, just say it. I will definitely tell you everything."

After hearing the other party's promise, Cui Yingying also asked solemnly:

"I wonder if you, sir, can tell me if my husband has any other women close to him now? How many children do he have?"

Chu Mo was stunned when he heard Cui Yingying's question.

In just a moment, he thought of the other party's plan, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

This stinky bitch still refuses to change her ways.

Previously, he had taken a fancy to his own property, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and seduce himself, so as to achieve the purpose of occupying his own property.

This time he is even more ruthless and wants to use Cui Sichu, his son, to take away everything he has.

Although he was sneering in his heart, Chu Mo couldn't see it at all on his face. Instead, he said with a warm face:

"Mrs. Cui, to tell you the truth, if I hadn't met you, mother and son, during this trip to Chang'an, and found out about your relationship with Brother Chu, we would all have thought that Brother Chu was not a womanizer."

"For this reason, we have been worried for a while about Brother Chu's future heirs. Now it seems that we have worried too much. Brother Chu probably hasn't met anyone he likes in these years."

Cui Yingying was so happy when she heard Chu Mo's answer.

According to what the other party said, Chu Mo has never been close to a woman for so many years. So, she is his only woman, and his son is his only heir.

Does that mean that as long as he regains Chu Mo's understanding and gets back on good terms with him, everything about him from now on will be his.

Thinking of this, Cui Yingying could no longer conceal the fire of desire in her eyes. She looked at Chu Mo with a little shortness of breath and said:

"Sir, you just said that you came to Chang'an this time to send everyone from Duke Wei's mansion out of Chang'an. I wonder how things went? If you need anything, just ask. "

"Hey, Mrs. Cui, this matter is actually very simple. We were almost done with it, but we encountered some problems with you halfway through."

Hearing Chu Mo's words, a look of uneasiness flashed across Cui Yingying's face.

She naturally knew what the other party meant.

"Sir, what happened before was all a misunderstanding. Our family no longer knows each other. If you want to do something else, just ask. I, Cui Yingying, will definitely not shirk the responsibility."

"Now that Madam has spoken, I won't be polite."

With that said, Chu Mo revealed his plan to bribe the steward of the Prince's Mansion and ask him to help open the city gate.

After hearing Chu Mo's plan, Cui Yingying couldn't help but take another high look at the barbarian in front of her.

She never expected that after the other party knew clearly about the grievances between Chu Mo and the Prince's Mansion, he would let people get involved in the matter of being a steward of the Prince's Mansion.

When she heard that the other party actually wanted to take 1000 million taels of gold and bribe the other party, Cui Yingying immediately noticed something fishy.

Not to mention 1000 million taels of gold, even 1000 million taels of silver, that's not what he, a small steward of the Prince's Mansion, can think of.

"Sir, is the person who bridged the gap for you a trustworthy person?"

"What does Mrs. Cui mean by this? Is it possible that you think there is something fishy about this matter?"

Chu Mo looked at Cui Yingying in confusion and asked.

"I wonder if sir, you know the purchasing power of gold and silver in our country today?"

"Don't talk about using these 1000 million taels of gold to buy a steward to open the door for you and let people go. You just take the 1000 million taels of silver, go to Tai Chi Palace, meet Li Shimin, slap the money ticket in front of him, and let him open the door. , I would like to send Duke Wei and his family out of the city, I’m sure Li Shimin won’t refuse.”

Having said this, how could Chu Mo not understand what Cui Yingying meant and knew that he must have been tricked by Zhou Xiaohai.

I just didn’t expect that in today’s Tang Dynasty, 1000 million taels could bribe His Majesty the Emperor?

In fact, what Chu Mo didn't know was that since Chu Xin occupied half of the country in the north, the coastal area in Lingnan became Yang Hongyu's bag, and Qiwang, the fifth surname, controlled the entire business of the Tang Dynasty, making the country The Tang Dynasty's tax revenue was declining day by day, and the state treasury was unable to make ends meet year after year. The Tang Dynasty's economy was already on the verge of collapse.

Nowadays, Li Shimin needs money everywhere and cannot find money everywhere.

If the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes hadn't been so powerful that there was nothing they could do for the time being, Li Shimin would have wanted to wield his butcher knife, chop them all down, and then take their wealth back to the national treasury.

Seeing that Chu Mo didn't speak, Cui Yingying turned her eyes and said:

"If you, sir, can trust me, then you might as well bring all the family members of the Duke of Wei to my Cui Mansion to settle down temporarily. After I send someone to the palace tomorrow to meet the saint, I will definitely be able to bring justice to the Duke of Wei."

"When the time comes, it's up to you, sir, to decide whether you want to go or stay."

Hearing that Cui Yingying was so confident in persuading Li Shimin and exempting everyone in Duke Wei's government from punishment, Chu Mo couldn't help but look at this woman.

So he nodded and said:

"Then there is Mrs. Lao. I will go and bring them to Cui Mansion."

After saying that, he winked at Yang Ying.
