Chapter 6

18days ago Xuanhuan Novels 6
You have never worked in the palace and don’t know the way in the palace. Cai Jingzhong said: In our palace, the focus is on bullying the superiors and not hiding the subordinates. As long as you can make your master happy, no matter how you do, it will not be a mistake.

Wang Hui said: I am stupid. Can I do anything wrong as long as I am happy?

Look, you haven't turned around now. Cai Jingzhong said earnestly: Do you think Ah, will the master be happy if you act recklessly below? Surely not, then you can only work hard and not dare to act recklessly? Then what is the spirit of the eunuch?

Wang Hui smiled and said: I've made my father-in-law confused

This matter is difficult, and simple. In short, just take the role of arbitrary behavior. Either you can guarantee that this matter cannot be reached in the master's ear. The master doesn't know at all. No matter what you did, it is equivalent to not. This can be covered or covered, or it is because this matter is transmitted to the master's ear. He is not angry. Instead, he thinks that you can see clearly when you are doing it. Just like the Marquis of Fuping, he just made such a big mess a few days ago. The King of Jiangdu was so angry that he almost killed him. The emperor's face was not good-looking, but why did the emperor still favor him?

Wang Hui's eyes rolled, and Hou Fuping was rude to the King of Jiangdu. Could it be that the emperor was instructed?

Half right, Cai Jingzhong said: The emperor succeeded to the throne at a young age. Those princes were old and old. Just like looking at a baby, Mr. Zhang was rude to the King of Jiangdu. In fact, it was to show the difference between the king and the ministers. Mr. Fuping was not blind. Can't he see the car of the King of Jiangdu? It was because he saw it that he insisted on doing this clearly and told the princes that no matter how old you are or how high your seniority is, the emperor is the minister of the emperor, and the emperor respects you because he is affectionate. If you don't respect you, you are the princes. Mr. Fuping still doesn't pee your pot. So you are right. Mr. Fuping did this just in line with the emperor's will. The reason why Mr. Fuping said half of the mistake was because this matter did not require the emperor's instructions at all. If he couldn't even understand the emperor's intentions, wouldn't Zhang Fang be favored by the emperor for nothing?

But for Zhang Fang offended the Empress Dowager and the princes for such a trivial matter, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?

Although you are extremely smart, you are still worse than your husband. Cai Jingzhong said: When doing things for your master, how can you care about gains and losses? Being petty in small accounts is enough, smart enough, but less generous.

Wang Hui bowed in embarrassment, thank you for your advice

Cai Jingzhong nodded and pointed out: How can you please the master? There are more ways to deal with it here...

Wang Hui poured tea for Cai Jingzhong, and asked her father-in-law to give advice.

Take our master as an example. First, we are thin-skinned and want to be a bitch, but we always want to set up a archway; second, we are not so sarcastic, and we want to eat more and eat more, but we are afraid that others will be hungry. In short, we are abusing good people to deal with such masters. We pay attention to the word "grab". Isn't he unable to hold his archway? You should first help him establish a archway, and then stand beautifully. If he doesn't want to sell, he will be embarrassed. Wouldn't he be too hungry? First, you should take the pot into the house and let the master close the door to eat. If you can't see others, wouldn't he be together?

Cai Jingzhong took a sip of tea. In short, there are five words to pay attention to: make the master, the bitch, be happy to set up the archway, eat meat with confidence, earn money with peace of mind, and sleep with peace of mind...

Shi Changshi Cai said this, isn’t the master useless?

How could it be useless? What's wrong with being a good person? Cai Jingzhong said: If your master wants to be a good person, you can follow his thoughts and let him be a good person follow him. There is no harm

What if you do something bad with kindness?

Then we will do the bad things first, so as not to accidentally cause bad things to be humiliated by the Lord's holy wisdom

Wang Hui asked repeatedly, Cai Jingzhong answered like a stream, and never kept his own personal experience. He gave all his experience over the years, which made Wang Hui admire him and praised him from time to time.

No wonder the big mink can stand on a high place and beloved

Cai Jing Zhong waved his hand humbly, and then the words changed. Besides, being abusive is not an idiot. Our master is a little soft, but he understands in his heart that the most important thing is to have vision. With this alone, he is better than others than you and me.

Wang Hui said: Big Diao has apologized

Cai Jingzhong waved his hand. Cai was not humble, but knew that he could not meet Cai's years in the palace. He had seen many noble people, only this master, which made Cai really want to climb on the dragon and attach to the phoenix.

Wang Hui's eyes flashed slightly, "Climbing the dragon?"

Cai Jingzhong smiled slightly, said nothing more, put down the teacup, picked up the hat from the side of the mat, and floated away

…………………………

At the same time, Cheng Zongyang was completely unaware that Eunuch Cai had already prepared a archway and was preparing to provide it to him personally. He was still working hard for the Chamber of Commerce's plan.

The small hall was full, Cheng Zongyang sat in the main seat, Yun Cangfeng was sitting opposite him, and a white silk was hanging on the wall in the middle, with the rough terrain of Luodu painted below the two. The left head was Ban Chao, Kuang Zhongyu, Gao IQ, He Yilian; the right head was Cheng Zheng, Wu Sangui, Ao Run, and Feng Yuan on the side seat, and a soft couch was specially placed. The opera with a silver mask seemed to be sleeping lazily, lying on the couch

Cheng Zongyang pointed to a small flag on the map and pointed it, and then said: Yesterday, Brother Cheng took another forage yard. At present, we have controlled 80% of the forage supply in Luodu, which is far exceeding the expected target. This first credit is Brother Cheng's.

Cheng Zheng stood up and said: I dare not be

Has the staff been arranged?

Cheng Zhengdao: Mr. Yun San has sent two shopkeepers to take over

Although Cheng Zheng also has some people, the layout of the Chamber of Commerce has expanded too quickly, and its personnel configuration is difficult. Due to the transfer of industry, a large number of people are idle and they are veterans who have been doing business for many years. The two sides hit it off. Cheng Zheng is responsible for the expansion, Yun Cangfeng sent someone to take over, and the cooperation between the two parties is perfect.

Without further ado, we can't wait any longer. From tomorrow, the price increase of the forage farm in our hands will start with concentrated feed, the bean cakes will rise by 10%, and every ten bunches of hay will increase by one copper baht. Cheng Zongyang said: You must control the rhythm, the first wave of price increases should be slow, the rhythm should be stable, and always pay attention to market reactions.

Yun Cangfeng is the highest in the hall, regardless of identity, status or wealth, but he did not show off at all. After he finished speaking, he nodded and said: I understand

Cheng Zongyang secretly gave a thumbs up, Brother Yun was enough to give face

Ban Chao said: After the price of forage rises, we might as well act and prepare to prepare for some forage at the city gates everywhere. We should not need to be too large. We should mainly create the momentum, and we should let people know that Luodu forage is in full swing. It is best to let the surrounding counties hear the news and calculate the money for the forage in advance.

Good idea! Cheng Zongyang praised: Luodu has limited transportation capacity. If you transport more fodder, you will transport less other goods.

Cheng Zheng touched his hands and said: Sure enough,

Land transportation is nothing more than chariots and horses. We only need to control the feed and allow the freight to increase the shipping fee. The water transportation is cheap and large, which is the real big head. I took it for granted before. Cheng Zongyang pointed sideways and asked the head of Luoshui to explain.

Everyone looked at it, He Yilian took a secret breath, stood up and saluted everyone first, and then said: Water routes are different from land routes. Since Luoshui will stop sailing due to shallow water before heavy snow, most merchants will complete their cargo before heavy snow. Now is the time when the water transports the most cargo...

After the initial nervousness, He Yilian spoke more and more smoothly. She first introduced the situation of Luoshui shipping, the share of the Luoshui gang, and the personnel that can be mobilized, and then said: According to the instructions of the head of the family, from tomorrow, we will make excuses to stop the sailing of cargo ships with more than 1,000 materials, and use small boats and bamboo rafts to transport them roughly. The entire Luoshui will reduce the transportation volume by 20% and increase the transportation cost by 10%

Wu Sangui said: What if someone robs the business?

He Yilian smiled sweetly, I want to ask for help from you

Cheng Zongyang said: Lao Wu, this matter is left to you, no matter whether it is inside or outside, if someone is not convinced, you will be beaten to the end.

Wu Sangui whispered: Yes!

The matter of water and land transportation is temporarily arranged like this. Cheng Zongyang made a final decision and said: The second thing is to exchange for high IQ. Leave this matter to you to do. Find more friends and fight together to exchange the gold baht in our hands into copper baht.

High IQ said in confusion: Master, the copper zhu is heavy and takes up space, and it is not convenient for luck to Ah

Have you ever seen Luodu Jiushi? Cheng Zongyang said: People's transactions are basically copper zhu, and there are very few silver zhu. What you have to do is to reduce the flow of copper zhu a lot. Artificially, money shortage. As for the copper zhu that is exchanged, don't worry, it all exists in the Tao's money house. I have already agreed with Tao Hongmin that after this part of the money zhu is put into the warehouse, it will no longer be circulated in a short period of time.

High IQ said: Is there a limit?

First, let’s exchange 100,000 gold baht to see if the copper baht on the market is less than 200,000 guan. How much fluctuation will be. In addition, various businesses, whether it is forage yard or water transportation, all those who can charge copper baht will be charged.

What is the maximum redeem?

Try to have a shortage of copper baht as much as possible, and it can be exchanged for 1,900 to no more than 1,800, and the proportion of this part cannot exceed half a percent.

OK! Gao IQ said: I'll find someone to do it!

The third thing... Lao Kuang, it depends on you

Kuang Zhongyu stood up and saluted

You made a sound of wind, saying that someone secretly transported weapons to Luodu, and how to make a sarcastic move, how to make a sensation, and then you can find a group of weapons from the car entering the city. As for the mastermind, or the remnants of King Zhao; or the princes who secretly had rebellious ambitions; or the ambitious relatives of the foreign country... The more confusing the goal, the better the better... the more confusing the goal is, the more confusing the better the better

Kuang Zhongyu said loudly: I understand

Brother Yun, I have to work hard for you

Yun Cangfeng said: It's okay to just say it

You take out money and buy land and real estate everywhere, and make the momentum as big as possible. The more anxious you seem, the better Luodu, these powerful people will definitely try their best to raise prices. Cheng Zongyang said: How to arouse their greed and let them raise prices according to our rhythm depends on Brother Yun's ability

Yun Cangfeng smiled and said: Don't worry! Don't spend a penny, just talk, and the price of fields around Luodu will rise sharply. I like it the most.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: As soon as the calculating order was released, they would know who was the one who suffered the loss in the end.

Yun Cangfeng laughed when he heard this. He was excluded a lot in Han Dynasty and was now forced to sell most of the industries under his name. It was impossible without resentment. He couldn't wait to see the faces of those people in the future.

Cheng Zongyang said: In short, one word: increase! Everyone tries their best to raise the prices of department stores. As the saying goes, there are only three things. There must be at least three waves in this round of price increases. Every time it rises to a time when others think it will not rise again. After three more waves, most people will get used to the price increase.

After saying that, Cheng Zongyang specifically said: "The Drama Hero, what do you think?"

Ju Meng opened her mouth wide and laughed in a hoarse voice: Such a good opportunity to make money makes me tempted... Do you want me to grab a ticket?

This idea is good! Make a point of safety and increase costs. Cheng Zongyang thought and said: The goal of grabbing does not have to be big, but it must have enough impact...

Ao Run said: Take those scholars Ah!

Feng Yuan said unhappily: Those scholars are poor, civil and military, and most of them are poor, so why are they robbed them?

Just steal them! Cheng Zongyang said: Those scholars can speak with their mouths and communicate with each other. They spread widely and quickly enough, and their goals are not conspicuous. And they have less than a few dollars to rob them, let alone others?

Feng Yuan disagrees, it is because of the lack of money that makes him die

Ao Run comforted: If you have nothing to do, we will only rob Luodu from you. If you return home, we will not rob Luodu anyway. They have all come to Luodu. I will find a college to make some money.

You said lightly...

Ban Chao said: If you don’t work, let your lord pay a sum of money and put it in various academies to subsidize the robbed scholars. He added: Anyway, everyone is poor, and subsidies do not necessarily cost money, and food and bedding are good.

Feng Yuan said: What if you grab a rich one?

Ban Chao said with a smile: Just think of the rich and the poor.

Feng Yuandao: What if someone mixed up the subsidy?

The more subsidies, the more powerful you get. You can use only a little bit of food and bedding to create the momentum. This business can be done better. Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Feng Dafa, if you can't bear it, you can leave this subsidy to you.

Feng Yuan looked around and said, let me first, I will tell you if you are really robbed and I don’t care if you are really poor. As long as I am really poor, I will give it to Ah

Everyone laughed and said: Give it, let it be, let it be said that it was robbed.

Although there were many talks during the meal, all the experts were present. They were extremely efficient in just half an hour. Everyone had finished their discussions and they dispersed, leaving only He Yilian in the hall.

He Yilian looked at the owner who was looking at the map, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Cheng Zongyang picked up a pen and marked the picture, and said: Why? Haven’t you discussed this?

In the past, I always arranged seats in the gang. Whoever was in front of me would speak louder and louder. This was the first time I met me...

Is it strange?

The master is full of talents, and the servants are beyond the reach of the world. No one is careful, but it is like a family sitting and talking.

Cheng Zongyang laughed and said: Otherwise, they all call me the head of the family.

As he said that, he took a step back, touched his chin with one hand, and looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

He Yilian looked at the white silk map. The marks of the owner's new work seemed to be randomly distributed. Some were in Beim, some were in Luodu City, some were far away in Yanshi, and one was on the top of Xiangshan Mountain in Yique.

Cheng Zongyang suddenly said: What do you look like?

Uh... He Yilian's words are a bit scattered and she can't tell at all

Forget it, I can't see it either. Cheng Zongyang sighed and said angrily: This bird man...

Cheng Zongyang threw down his pen, go and let Chang Bo let go of it

Out of vigilance towards Wei Gan, the two old men are now detained separately, and Wei Gan is very compatible, but he can't find any more content from his mouth Yan Junping is still silent. Facing Cheng Zongyang's inquiry, he didn't even take the corners of his eyes. If it weren't for the sake of his fellow men who were probably cheated by Lao Yue, Cheng Zongyang wanted to beat him.

Lu Jingyuan went to Shouyang Mountain, and the only one who was in charge here was Siming Xin Cheng Zongyang who brought two pots of good wine. While pouring it for the fourth brother, he also talked about the past few days of running around, especially the guesswork about the slogan.

Siming listened silently, with a cold expression, but he couldn't help but feel slightly moved when he heard that he had faced six jade tablets.

What I wonder now is that since Shuai Yue has set up so many clues that only the Xingyue Lake brothers know, why don’t he give the jade token to you directly but leave it to Yan Junping for safekeeping?

Simingxin thought for a while, then shook his head

Cheng Zongyang had a bowl of wine depressedly, and he had to wait for Brother Lu Wu to come back.

…………………………

Before dawn the next day, news came from Luoshui Wharf that during the night sailing last night, three large ships of thousands of materials were stranded, blocking most of the channel. One of them was even more unlucky. The hull capsized and all the cargo was drifted. According to the Luobang sailor involved, the reason for the stranding was that Luoshui entered the dry water period early and the water level dropped. This accident was entirely due to natural disasters.

But after dawn, news came again that residents, fishermen and passengers along the Luoshui coast provided a lot of evidence to prove that the current water level in Luoshui was not abnormal. Even if there was, it was no more than the thickness of a palm. Facing the doubts, the Luobang He Dajia, who had disappeared from the public eye for a long time, made an announcement publicly and withdrew his previous remarks, saying that the cause of the accident is currently under investigation, and at the same time said that he would end his vacation and go all out to investigate the cause of the accident, giving the cargo owner and the people an explanation.

According to a senior boatman, the cause of the accident has nothing to do with the water level. It is mainly caused by the continuous increase in the amount of sand coming from the Luo River and the long-term growth of sandbanks at the bottom of the river.

Five years! It's been five years! The waterway of Luoshui has not been dredged! How much sand is Luoshui coming every year? Has her surname calculated it? Just talking about stranding, there were more than ten stranded accidents two years ago, and more than twenty last year, and those that were not disclosed have to be doubled! The stranded accidents are more than one year, but what about the senior management of Luoshui? They don't care about this, spend all their time and drink and dance every day! With the working attitude of Luoshui, it is accidental, and accidents are inevitable! The sailor surnamed Xu, who is unwilling to open his name, said angrily, I know that the girls are unreliable!

After the accident, in order to avoid causing greater losses, the ship led by the Luo Gang hurriedly announced that a safety line was set up more than 100 miles downstream of Luodu, and all ships with a capacity of more than 1,000 materials would be suspended. The cargo on the ship was first transported to Yanshi Wharf by shallow bottom, and then entered Luodu by land. If you want to fly directly to the Tianjin Wharf, the number of ships that can be used is smaller, and the time cannot be guaranteed.

Luoshui has many accidents of stranded ships every year. Both the officials and the people have expected this year, but the suspension of flights is a month ahead of schedule. It is the peak of shipping, which still makes relevant parties panic.

The most sensitive sense of smell is always the merchant who has been suspended from sailing. As soon as the news came out, the freight rates of Luodu's carriages rose sharply. In Yanshi City, there were even more cars and horses. Almost half of Luodu's transportation capacity came to make a business, almost crushing the dock.

Luodu has a population of millions, and the daily amount of food, pigs, sheep, and vegetables is extremely large. However, compared with luxury goods such as pearls, jade, spices, brocades, etc., the price of grains and vegetables is low, and ten trucks of grain cannot match the freight rate of half a truck of brocades. Therefore, the originally limited transportation capacity is rushing to chase various expensive goods with high freight. Even if the food in the city is transported by barges, it is randomly piled up on the dock.

The officials were all staring at the imperial edicts and closely following the actions of the emperor after he took power, and had no time to pay attention to it. The merchants in Luodu all seized this god-given opportunity to raise prices, and made excessive profits from freight to selling prices in an almost carnival manner. The people in Luodu only regarded the news that the Luoshui was stranded as a topic of discussion between the market, and by the way, they complained about the increasingly expensive prices on the market.

So just as everyone was completely unaware of it, a completely artificial economic crisis was becoming more and more serious. Its destructive power far exceeded Cheng Zongyang's expectations, and even became the fuse of the drastic changes in the Han Dynasty, which cast a thick layer of blood on the political situation of the entire Han Dynasty.

However, at this time, the initiator of the crisis felt very good, especially after Cheng Zongyang discovered that this time the flight was suspended and he had a hard time, he felt even more comfortable.

Lao Tian from Guangyuanxing was so anxious that he was angry. Tao Hongmin said: All three stranded ships were from Guangyuanxing. One of them was overturned. The several managers who were escorting the goods have not been found yet. Most of them are in danger.

Cheng Zongyang said: What does Guangyuanxing do?

It's just a grocery store, it's just a little bigger. Tao Hongmin said: Guangyuan Store operates bulk goods. After being shipped to Luodu, it will be distributed to local merchants. Although it has overturned a ship this time, the end of the year is approaching. Some of Guangyuan Store's goods have been suppressed for half a year. It just happened to take the opportunity to sell them out and catch up with the suspension of the airline and price increase. They can't pay much

Tao Hongmin smiled and said: Brother Cheng quietly cut off the transportation of Luoshui, which is such a good method!

It was nothing more than spending money to bribe the Luo Gang. Cheng Zongyang said: I have covered all the money they paid.

Compared with future profits, that little shipment is only a drop in the bucket

Zhao Moxuan, who was fishing at the bow of the boat, suddenly said, Cheng Zongyang raised his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned.

Their ships were moored on the shore of Luoshui in the west of the city. At this time, smoke and dust were rolling on the avenue. First, dozens of iron cavalry galloped, and then two rows of well-clad infantrymen. An official riding a horse took the lead. He held a festival in one hand and a roll of yellow silk edict in the other. His black official uniform had a chilling and murderous aura, like the god of death.

Behind the officer was a prison car, and a guru in a rosy dress locked in the wooden cage. The prisoner had his head hanging down and his messy hair was scattered, as if he was unconscious, looking back. In the middle of the team were one prison car after another, like a long snake, and there were more than ten executioners outside the team. They were wearing dazzling red blood-colored tops. Even in winter, one side of their shoulders and half of their black-haired chests were exposed. They wore thick cowhide wrists on their wrists, and a ghost-headed knife in their hands. The sharp edges were sharpened. At the end of the team, there were a group of idle people watching the fun, following behind, with thousands of people in a row.

The convoy stopped in a flat wasteland next to the shore. The official turned over and dismounted, walked to a high place, planted his scepter on the ground, unfolded the edict and read a few words, then raised the edict with both hands to show the edict in all directions.

A moment later, the official gave the order, and the soldier immediately split the wooden shackles that were nailed to the prison van, dragged the prisoner to the riverside to kneel down, pulled his hair, exposed his neck, a executioner spitted into his palm, holding the heavy ghost-headed knife in both hands, and lifted it high above his head.

The official raised his hand and waved it hard. More than ten executioners shouted loudly at the same time. Amid the screams of the onlookers, a sharp sword light slashed down, and then the blood splashed

More than ten heads rolled down, and the headless corpse was gushing blood and spurted. The executioner grabbed the head and displayed it for a week. Several officials took the wooden slips to check and engrave it, and then threw it on the car.

There were more than a hundred prisoners, but only more than ten executioners. Then another group of death row prisoners were taken over. The executioner kicked the headless corpse away, freeing up the place where the death row prisoners were pressed to kneel on the ground, with their faces facing down, their hair was pulled and their necks were exposed.

The official waved his hand, the big sword fell, everyone exclaimed, and his head fell to the ground...

As this scene continues to repeat, the corpses in the field are becoming more and more yellow sand and dry reeds are dyed red by blood.

Cheng Zongyang rubbed his forehead with one hand, his expression stiffly across the inside. The dead aura had faded a lot, but the cold breath still made him instinctively feel a little uncomfortable. Cheng Zongyang is not a rookie who has never killed anyone. In the moment of life and death, he would never be lenient when he should be killed. But when he witnessed this large-scale execution, he still felt a little compassion. He didn't know who the prisoners were, nor what crimes they committed. He just instinctively felt a little unbearable for the death of similar people.

It's really bad luck, just in time to execute the criminal

Tao Hongmin muttered, and was about to put down the bamboo curtain, but Zhao Moxuan uttered again

Cheng Zongyang had already turned around and didn't want to see it, but he turned his head back when he heard the sound, but saw that the executed prisoners were not only young and strong, but also white-haired old men and even women.

Zhao Moxuan frowned and said: Clan punishment?

Cheng Zongyang was shocked and could not bear to look closely. At this time, he quickly looked at the shore with his eyes.

The execution is coming to an end. Among the last group of death row prisoners who were taken up, there is even a woman holding a baby. The woman was crying and begging to raise the baby executioner, who had already been killed with blood. He turned his face and raised the big knife.

Cheng Zongyang felt a passion surge from his heart, and he came out of the cabin without thinking.

The ghost-headed knife roared down, and at this moment, a broken bowl flew out of the crowd and hit the knife heavily. Then a beggar with a messy hair and beard rushed over like a bird, picking up the baby and sweeping it into the reeds

The onlookers screamed in surprise. The official hurriedly ordered. The soldiers rushed over, sweeping away the reeds, and bending the bow to shoot into the reeds. The woman stared at the reeds blankly. Suddenly, she burst into tears, but the crying was filled with joy of liberation.

Then the big knife fell and the cry stopped abruptly

The official shouted loudly, sending people to hunt down the robbers while asking people to search for whether there are any accomplices in the crowd.

The idle man who was watching immediately scattered birds and beasts, but more than ten young men stayed there. Before the soldiers retreated, they even stepped forward to collect the bodies.

The Han Dynasty was buried again, without special edicts. Even if the crime of rebellion was committed, relatives and friends were allowed to collect the bodies. After all, the person was dead. It would be unkind that the official also turned a blind eye to ignore it, not to mention that one of them was robbed. Even if he wanted to pay attention, he didn't care about it.

The beggar came and went quickly. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace in his arms. No one even saw his appearance clearly. Cheng Zongyang could see clearly on the boat. Brother Lu Wu was covered in dust and even his beard was stuck in a hurry. He could not hide it from anyone who was interested. Moreover, he was holding a baby and did not dare to go into the water. He relied on his extraordinary body skills and snaked against the river bank. Although the cavalry could not see him, as long as they chased along the river bank, they would definitely catch up.

Cheng Zongyang took a deep breath, snorted into the water, and secretly prayed that he would not have cramps. If Brother Lu came to save him again, it would be better to drown him.

To his surprise, the river water did not have the biting chill as expected, but a faint warmth.

It was Wen Luo Ah Cheng Zongyang muttered in his heart and intercepted Lu Jing.
