Pick up a female emperor as a wife

Chapter 280 Taken the bait!

"When daybreak comes, just follow me to visit Yuwen Yan's residence!"

Qin Chuan replied.

When he was chatting with Yuwen Yan in court yesterday, even though Ouyang Xun was very good at concealing his emotions, he could still detect his anxious look.

It can be seen that Ouyang Xun was very afraid that he would get close to Yuwen Yan.

Qingyue nodded thoughtfully, and the two of them wandered around the street and had breakfast.

Qin Chuan went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the servants of the prime minister's residence saw Qin Chuan, they immediately put away their usual condescending attitude. When they learned that Qin Chuan was here to visit Yuwen Yan, they nodded and bowed and hurried forward to report.

Yuwen Yan was also quite surprised by Qin Chuan's sudden visit.

He had no intention of welcoming him, but instead called Yuwen Ming over.

"Ming'er, what do you think is the purpose of Qin Chuan's sudden visit this time?" Yu Wenyan asked while eating morning tea.

"My Lord Prime Minister, Qin Chuan came to you to enhance his image as a corrupt official!" Yuwen Ming said without hesitation.

Yu Wenyan's eyes showed admiration, and he continued to ask: "Why does he want to enrich the character of a corrupt official? Isn't it good to create the character of an honest official?"

"Qin Chuan is an official only for profit. He can only accept bribes to his heart's content when others think he is a corrupt official.

And if he creates an image of an honest official, who would dare to give him a gift?"

Yuwen Ming replied calmly: "However, the painting you gave to King Qinchuan to seek pleasure last time.

Wang Xunhuan has always been the person the royal family is looking for.

If Qin Chuan is asking you about Wang Xunhuan this time, it means that he is the emperor's man.

Everything that has just happened will naturally be overturned."

"Okay! Not bad!"

Yuwen Yan was very satisfied.

He really wanted to say that he was worthy of being his son and worthy of having his blood in his body.

But he didn't say it in the end.

At present, he still cannot allow a bastard born to a brothel girl to inherit everything from him.

Let everything remain as it is.

"Then you should welcome Qin Chuan here now, and remember to show him enough respect.

Although this person is an official only for profit, the more he does it for profit, the more he will be able to turn the tide in the officialdom in the future. It will definitely be beneficial for us to stabilize the situation if we can make friends with him!" Yuwen Yan arranged.

"Here!"

The effort of a stick of incense.

Qin Chuan was brought to Yu Wenyan by Yu Wenming.

He also took the initiative to walk out of the room to greet Qin Chuan.

However, the fact that he did not come outside the mansion to greet him this time was enough to show that he was still maintaining his status as prime minister.

Qin Chuan didn't care about these. Anyway, he came here today just to use Yuwen Yan to scare Ouyang Xun and his son.

But when he saw Yuwen Ming, he felt very strange.

Isn’t it said that all the men in Yu Wenyan’s mansion have become eunuchs?

Why does Yu Wenming still have a messy beard?

Yuwen Yan seemed to see Qin Chuan's confusion, and took the initiative to introduce: "Sir Qin, this man is my nephew. He is quite intelligent. If he passes the imperial examination and enters the officialdom in the future, I hope Sir Qin can take care of him."

Qin Chuan pretended to be terrified and said, "Prime Minister, what are you talking about? I still need your help to take care of me!"

Look at Qin Chuan's humble attitude.

Yu Wenyan felt that Qin Chuan was a man of great adaptability and was definitely a great character.

If he is not the emperor's man, it will definitely not be wrong to make friends with him.

He laughed loudly and took the initiative to invite Qin Chuan to play in his mansion. Qin Chuan naturally would not refuse.

During the whole conversation, the two of them only talked about love and romance, and did not mention any official affairs at all.

It was not until after lunch that Qin Chuan chose to leave.

Qin Chuan never mentioned the matter of Wang Xunhuan during the whole process, so Yuwen Yan and Yuwen Ming had already determined that Qin Chuan was not the emperor's man.

This time he came just to use Yu Wenyan to enrich his image as a corrupt official.

Little did he know that there were too many gifts. When counting the birthday gifts, the painting sent by Yuwen Yan was put away by Qin Chuan as an ordinary painting, and he didn't even remember who Wang Xunhuan was...

"interesting!"

Although being used by Qin Chuan, Yu Wenyan did not feel the slightest bit of anger.

He was able to become the head of officials from between the seven powerful families, so his means in officialdom must be extraordinary.

Qin Chuan's tricks did not pose any danger to him at all.

He just thought what Qin Chuan did was interesting.

Then he instructed Yuwen Ming: "Find a few experts to follow him and see what Qin Chuan will do next and who he will meet."

"Here!"

Yuwen Ming immediately summoned the masters in the mansion and followed Qin Chuan secretly.

With Qin Chuan's hearing, he could naturally hear their conversation clearly.

"interesting!"

With a light chuckle, Qin Chuan continued strolling on the street as if he hadn't noticed anything.

Less than two quarters of an hour.

Qin Chuan saw Ouyang Xun and Ouyang Long appear in his sight.

These two probably received the message passed on by their spies.

Fearing that he would be won over by Yuwen Yan, he took the initiative to come forward.

The same is true.

When Ouyang Xun saw Qin Chuan taking the initiative to talk to Yuwen Yan yesterday, he felt something was wrong and decided to give Qin Chuan an offer directly.

Just now he received the news that Qin Chuan went to visit Yu Wenyan's mansion.

Ouyang Xun was like an ant on hot pot.

He was so impatient that he couldn't wait to visit Qin Chuan's mansion.

When Qingyue saw the father and son coming, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but she quickly suppressed it.

He stood in front of the two of them and said, "Hey, what do you want to do? Don't you know that our Master doesn't want to see you?"

There were many people around, but no one dared to watch, and they all ran away.

It can be seen that Ouyang and his son have long been notorious in the imperial capital.

Without the people watching, Ouyang Xun felt less pressured. Otherwise, if he was blocked by a little girl in the street, his reputation would be damaged if he did not show his divine power!

He now had the attitude of asking Qin Chuan for help, so he didn't dare to get angry. Instead, he sincerely apologized and said, "Sir Qin, all the mistakes we made before were our fault. Today, we two came to see you just to get your forgiveness. We, father and son, will not tell lies.

Our Ouyang family has been doing business for generations and has considerable wealth.

If Lord Qin is willing to forgive us two, we are willing to give him one million taels to express our gratitude!"

One million taels!

He is indeed very wealthy.

But even Ouyang Xiu'er could scrape together five hundred thousand taels of silver.

Ouyang Xun was the Minister of Works. The amount of money he embezzled and accepted in bribes must have far exceeded this figure.

Qin Chuan pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "One million taels? Who do you think I am, Qin Chuan?"

Ouyang Xun initially offered one million taels, so his reserve price was naturally not one million taels.

Seeing that Qin Chuan was not satisfied, he raised the price again: "One million and five hundred thousand taels! How about we be close friends?"

Qin Chuan cursed in his heart.

It was so easy to take out one million and five hundred thousand taels!

You have to know that at that time, Nangong Wan was almost forced to abdicate in order to raise 500,000 taels of military funds.

But he could easily come up with a huge sum of 1.5 million taels!

It seems that while he was fighting with Lin Shishi, the Blood Guards still hadn't found where their real property was.

Qin Chuan still pretended to be dissatisfied: "Do you think I, Qin Chuan, am a greedy person?"

"Is two million and twenty thousand feasible?" Ouyang Xun quoted again.

Qin Chuan shrugged again: "I've said before that I'm definitely not that kind of person."

"Two and a half million taels!" Ouyang Xun began to grit his teeth.

It can be seen that this is almost his limit.

Of course, this so-called limit does not mean that he only has this much money. This limit is just the limit of the money he is willing to pay for Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan shook his head again.

Ouyang Xun and Ouyang Long's faces became increasingly ugly.

It seemed that two and a half million taels was the highest price they had in mind before they came.

They also secretly cursed Qin Chuan in their hearts.

You have to know that when they wanted to win over officials, they only offered a few hundred or a few thousand taels.

If they were not sure that Qin Chuan could take them to see the immortal.

They were absolutely unwilling to spend millions of taels to win over an official.

It can be seen that matters concerning immortals have always attracted them.

They thought it was a great opportunity for them and their son to dominate the world.

How could they let it go?

After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Master Qin, I, Ouyang Xun, am willing to pay three million taels to express my apology. Please accept it, Master Qin."

Three million taels!

This damn official is really rich.

Qin Chuan also knew that this was his limit. If he continued to increase it, it would only force them into a desperate situation.

They are still needed to quell the crisis created by the Lingshen Organization.

Qin Chuan immediately pretended to be moved and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir Ouyang, you are very good at judging people.

The three million you gave really touched Qin's heart!

Lord Ouyang, from now on, you and I are brothers!"

Qin Chuan then stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Brother, please accept my humble respect!"

Ouyang Xun and Ouyang Long felt their hearts were bleeding.

Three million taels!

In return, Qin Chuan said, "Brother, please help me..."

Even so, Ouyang Xun pretended to be excited and shook Qin Chuan's hand: "Good brother, from now on, we are brothers!"

As he said that, Ouyang Xun kicked Ouyang Long and said, "Long'er, what are you still standing there for! Hurry up and call me uncle!
