Chapter 279 Huo Xiu’s Secret
“Huo Xiu is known as the richest man in the world, so why can’t his wealth be revealed?”
At this time, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had left. Shi Xiuxue originally wanted to jump out and talk to Hua Manlou, but the master was beside her, so she still didn't dare. As for winking with Hua Manlou, Hua Manlou couldn't see her. !
Dugu Yihe, Su Shaoying and the other three women have already embarked on the journey back to Emei.
The person who asked the question was Ma Xiuzhen. Although they were not very old, they had traveled a lot and had experienced a lot, but this case was still beyond their understanding.
So she couldn't help but ask, "Back then, your wealth had already been divided, so why did he have to kill you and Boss Yan?"
Dugu Yihe sighed, "Since this matter has been settled and the Jinpeng Dynasty has passed away, there is no harm in talking about some things."
Ma Xiuzhen and the three girls nodded repeatedly, and Su Shaoying also opened her eyes wide, ready to listen to the story.
"Back then in the Jinpeng Dynasty, Yan Liben... also known as Yan Tieshan, was the general manager of the royal treasury." Dugu Yihe said, "I was the general, and Huo Xiu was the Sikong of the dynasty."
"A civil servant, a military general and an internal eunuch, plus Shangguan Jin, an elder of the royal family, it is quite complete." Su Shaoying praised him as extremely qualified.
“Is the jewelry business his old profession?” Shi Xiuxue asked.
Ma Xiuzhen smiled and said, "He is actually a guest of the palace?"
Su Shaoying said, "If the country can be restored with this wealth alone, the Jinpeng Dynasty will not be destroyed. Of course, it will need help."
In addition to being an invincible opponent with martial arts, the general's style and magnanimity also helped a lot.
He is the person in charge of the royal treasury, and his eyes are extremely vicious. The authenticity and value of jewelry cannot be escaped from his eyes. Isn't the jewelry business his old profession? "
Speaking of this topic, Dugu Yihe is also a little proud. He led the art caster, halfway up the mountain, and was able to sit all the way to the head of the Central Plains sect. It is indeed something to be proud of.
“The Jinpeng Dynasty fell, and you all know how we kept our names anonymous and dispersed our wealth to the Central Plains.”
Dugu Yihe shook his head and smiled, "I am a martial artist, and there was still hope of returning to the country back then, so I did not follow Yan Tieshan and Huo Xiu to the north. Instead, I settled down in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, where I practiced martial arts, made friends, and worshiped I joined the Emei Sect, thinking that if I ever send my troops south, it would be more convenient, and maybe I could make some friends."
"So he doesn't want to restore the country even more." Su Shaoying said, "After the country is restored, he will still be a slave. How can he feel like he is the master of the country now?"
“So the three of you are actually free.” Su Shaoying smiled.
When the women heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Later, the prince was unwilling to return to the country... Well, he didn't say this clearly, but it was all about delay, but we already understood it." Dugu Yihe said, "So Yan Tieshan started doing his old job. "
"Yes." Dugu Yihe nodded, "But this prince was pampered since he was a child. He came to the colorful world of the Central Plains with a large amount of wealth, and he no longer had the ambition to restore the country."
Dugu Yihe also smiled and said, "So his jeweled pavilion grew bigger and bigger. Rich families from Guanzhong, Hebei and even the Central Plains came to buy things from him. Even the princes such as King Qin, King Jin, King Taiping, and King Antai came to his house to buy things. All the princesses come to the pavilion to buy."
“That’s almost it.” Dugu Yihe said with a smile.
“He is the internal treasury manager of the Jinpeng Dynasty.” Dugu Yihe said, “Although the Jinpeng Dynasty is only a small country, it is located in southern Xinjiang, where there are a lot of pearls, gems, jade, jade, etc.
“I didn’t expect you to become the head of Emei.” Sun Xiuqing couldn’t help laughing.
Dugu Yihe said, "A large part of this wealth was actually used to bribe the Central Plains Dynasty to ask the emperor to send troops to help us restore our country."
Dugu Yihe nodded, "That's true."
In fact, he is not like this. A general from a small southern barbarian country is indeed inferior to the head of the Emei faction.
“What about Huo Xiu?” Su Shaoying asked. "Huo Xiu..." Dugu Yihe pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed.
"He turns out to be Sikong, and his status is higher than that of you and Boss Yan." Ma Xiuzhen said, "No wonder he has become the richest man in the world, but what does it mean that his wealth cannot be seen in the light?"
Dugu Yihe said calmly, "Just because he is Sikong, his heart is higher than mine and Lao Yan's."
Su Shaoying raised her eyebrows and understood, "So he wants to have a chance in the court?"
Dugu Yihe looked at Su Shaoying, nodded and said, "Not bad."
“But he didn’t break out.” Su Shaoying said.
“He is from a small country, and outsiders, who would really trust him?” Dugu Yihe sneered, “But he forced himself into that circle. Although he got some promises, he also tied himself in.”
“Could it be that…”
"He is indeed the richest man in the world. In terms of wealth alone, he has more money than Yan Tieshan and I. But a lot of that money does not belong to him, but is managed by him." Dugu Yihe said, "He wants to make money for some people , to get what you want.”
“Who are they?” Ma Xiuzhen couldn’t help but ask.
"I don't know." Dugu Yihe shook his head, "But it's just those people."
“That’s why the wealth cannot be seen in the light.” Su Shaoying said.
"That's right." Dugu Yihe nodded, "So although Huo Xiu has the reputation of being the richest man in the world, no one knows how much or what his assets are."
“But since the wealth cannot be seen in the light, how dare he claim to be the richest man in the world?” Ma Xiuzhen asked.
Dugu Yihe did not answer, but looked at Su Shaoying.
Su Shaoying thought for a while and said, "Because he needs the reputation of the richest man in the world, so that the people who work with him can trust him and save a lot of trouble when making money."
Dugu Yihe nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, that's exactly it."
“Then why did he plot against you and Boss Yan?” Sun Xiuqing asked.
Dugu Yihe frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, "I don't know either..."
“Maybe it’s because he lost money.” Su Shaoying said.
Dugu Yihe and Ma Xiuzhen all looked at Su Shaoying and heard Su Shaoying say, "He assassinated you and Boss Yan clearly for your and Boss Yan's wealth."
Dugu Yihe nodded, "Not bad."
"Why is he anxious to ask for your money?" Su Shaoying said, "It can only be because he is short of money. I didn't know why he was short of money at first, but after you said this, I can figure it out."
Ma Xiuzhen's eyes lit up and he continued, "Because the money is not his own. He made deals with those people and helped those people make money, so if he loses money, he will be in big trouble."
Sun Xiuqing said immediately, "That's why he set his sights on you and Boss Yan. Once you die, he will be able to receive your wealth in the name of the Jinpeng Dynasty's legacy."
The largest jeweler north of the Yellow River and a large landowner in Sichuan. This wealth is enough for him to survive the economic crisis.
Shi Xiuxue finally understood, "That's why you said that no one can get Huo Xiu's wealth. Once Huo Xiu dies, those people will naturally get their wealth back."
Dugu Yihe thought for a while and nodded, "That must be it."
