C517 Delayed funds

At this time, in the industry of Fengyang City, where the Xiahou Family was located, the uncle and nephew were doing their best to see through each other.

The two of them were not waiting for the feast of the Taotie, nor were they waiting for the elegant beauty who welcomed them when she wanted to refuse, nor were they waiting to welcome some mysterious and illustrious grand character.

They were actually waiting for a pigeon. Yes, they were waiting for a pigeon.

From Xiahou Junyu's point of view, waiting was definitely a type of suffering, and especially on the eve of victory, it was even more so.

However, in the face of 'torment', he was helpless because there were many things that he couldn't control. The only thing he could do was to continue waiting and enjoy the torment.

"Fourth uncle, it's already been more than ten days. Why haven't the silver taels arrived yet?" Xiahou Junyu's face was filled with anxiety and impatience as he grumbled to the middle-aged man beside him.

"Nephew, how am I supposed to answer your question? I'm just as confused as you are. Aren't I just waiting like you?" The middle-aged man that was called "Fourth Uncle" spread out his arms and answered innocently.

This' fourth uncle ', Xiahou Bochao, was the fourth oldest in the Xiahou Family and had never shown his strength before, but he was an extremely shrewd individual. Because he did not participate in the internal strife of the Patriarch Xia Hou Bo Wen and Second Brother Xiahou Boyuan, he was kicked out of the capital's Xia Hou Clan.

However, what no one knew was that other than this cunning and lecherous Xiahou Bochao, he also had great ambitions for power. In his heart, he knew that no matter if he went to Clan Master Xia Hou Bo Wen or Second Brother Xiahou Boyuan, what awaited him was only cannon fodder.

Besides, even if the faction he chose won the final victory, what good would that do him? It was not what he wanted to be above thousands of people. The feeling of relying on the breath of others would make him go completely crazy. What he wanted more was to be above tens of thousands of people.

But as time passed, Xiahou Bochao started to feel that it was getting less and less. Although the two major groups in the clan were fighting internally, they did not have any intentions of killing each other, but this kind of fight, which did not go up or down, became more and more intense in Xiahou Bochao's eyes.

Just when he felt that his life's dream was about to crumble, a person actually came to his side like the heavens descending, and the cunning Xiahou Bochao's first reaction was to know that her chance had come!

As long as he could successfully grasp this opportunity, it was highly likely that his big brother and second brother would be completely kicked away and he would be the Patriarch.

"Fourth Uncle, have you really sent a letter asking about this? Why hasn't there been any reply for so long? " Xiahou Junyu frowned, the eyes that stared at the sky seemed as though they could pierce through the sky in an instant, as he continued to ask.

"I've made it, I've made it long ago. Plus, I've already sent it the eleventh time yesterday. I'm sure there will be a reply in these two days' time!" Should we wait? " Xiahou Bochao also had a face full of doubt and bewilderment, but he opened his mouth to explain.

His nephew being in such a rush, Xiahou Bochao knew that he was actually even more anxious. If he could settle this matter well, not to mention the conditions that his nephew had promised him after his rise in status, even his prestige in the clan would increase along with it. These were all conditions that would allow him to compete for the position of Patriarch in the future.

It was even very likely that he would be able to return to the imperial capital, and return to the core authority of the Xiahou Family. Thus, he could not wait any longer.

However, something went wrong at this time. The huge sum of money that was originally set to arrive in the Fengyang City within ten days, had yet to arrive and his numerous letters to the clan were like stones that sank into the ocean. There wasn't even a single reply! This forced Xiahou Bochao to think about the problem from the bottom of his heart.

"I can wait, but can the people from Surveillance Council wait? Now that they are all gone, how will this show go on? " Xiahou Junyu's face was filled with anger, with a hint of resentment.

"Nephew, do not worry. Actually, it is not important if the people from the Surveillance Council's capital are or aren't here! It doesn't really matter if they do or not! " Although Xiahou Bochao was unhappy in his heart, he did not show it on the surface and continued to persuade his with a smile.

"If they're not important, who is? Why doesn't it matter? Don't you have a brain? What's more, I want to show those people in the academy how powerful I am, and make them dare to look down on me! When I become the Principal, I will definitely let them have a taste of their humiliation! " Hearing Fourth Uncle's persuasion, Xiahou Junyu was immediately angered, he almost wanted to point at his Fourth Uncle's nose and start cursing him, but even so, his tone was not good, and seemed to be questioning him unreasonably, at least this was not the attitude that a junior should have towards a senior.

"Nephew, please let me finish!" Xiahou Bochao was a very shrewd person. Upon hearing his nephew's rude attitude, he made people smile, this kind of attitude could not be done by just anyone, but the people who could do it were either especially hypocritical or especially sinister!

"Hm!" "If you have something to say, then fart!" Xiahou Junyu said casually.

"This matter's most fundamental starting point is to help you get to the top. Is that correct?" A stern look flashed past Xiahou Bochao's eyes, but he quickly recovered and slowly asked.

"That's right!" But what does this have to do with the people of Surveillance Council being here? Wouldn't they be able to witness my abilities and methods here? " Xiahou Junyu nodded and replied.

"My dear nephew, the people of Surveillance Council are not fools. Don't tell me that they do not find it strange? If they couldn't find any trace of silver in the tens of thousands of people, how could they let a kid like you find them? If they were to carefully investigate the flow of funds within the family, they would naturally know what is going on with the silver here! " Xiahou Bochao asked playfully.

"This ?" What kind of good idea does Fourth Uncle have? " After Xiahou Junyu heard these words, he didn't know what to say anymore. According to the development of the situation, it was possible for such a thing to happen.

"This is the reason why I said that it wasn't important if the people from the Surveillance Council's Capital are there or not! And I think it would be better for our plan if they weren't there! " Xiahou Bochao replied with a smile.

"Fishing in troubled waters?" Xiahou Junyu seemed to have thought of something?

"That's right, I will be starting a high-profile project here. Let people know that I need to spend a lot of money to conceal the real purpose of the family funds transfer!" Without the presence of our own people, we can make the details even more concrete! Furthermore, without them, isn't there still that relieving stroke from the Surveillance Council branch? " Xiahou Bochao smiled and nodded as he continued to explain.

"That's right, fourth uncle is indeed thoughtful!" Xiahou Junyu couldn't help but exclaim as he felt like he could see the sun through the clouds.

"No, no!" Actually, Nephew is in the middle of a plot. We just need to let the people far away in the capital know about this! As long as these five hundred thousand silver taels could be handed over to relieving stroke, even if the Principal knew the role of the clan in the family, it didn't matter. The important thing was that the Emperor would think that you were a good candidate! At that time, even if the Headmaster is troubled, I'm afraid he can only cover for you! " Xiahou Bochao modestly waved his hand, as if he was a scheming advisor.

"Fourth Uncle's brilliant!" Xiahou Junyu flattered continuously, as if he had already forgotten his Fourth Uncle's attitude when he was speaking to him earlier.

"So, Nephew need not be impatient for this moment. We only need to wait for the silver taels to reach Fengyang successfully and we will carry out the plan according to the original plan!" Xiahou Bochao concluded.

"Alright, let's do it! Fourth Uncle heard two days ago that you bought a few pretty young maids. "Hehe!" Once he was troubled, Xiahou Junyu's lustful and restless heart could no longer hold it in. With a mischievous smile on his face, he moved closer to Fourth Uncle and rubbed his hands as he spoke to Fourth Uncle.

Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you, remember not to spoil it. Last time, those that were broken by you and sent to the brothel were not taken by anyone, so I threw them on the street and let them fend for themselves. This time, after I enjoy it, I'll let you deal with them! Even though Xiahou Bochao's heart was filled with contempt, on the surface he still had to politely respond.

Of course, Xiahou Bochao was not that at ease at all in his heart, he had always enjoyed it himself, but now he wanted his nephew to use it first, and wanted to use it second-hand. The most important thing was that the pretty girl from last time was played around by his nephew, and he did not even have a second hand, which made him extremely angry, and if not for him relying on this nephew of his in the future, he would have been kicked out of the house.

"That's no problem. How about we uncle and nephew together?" Xiahou Junyu suggested with a lewd smile.

"This... "Isn't that good?" Xiahou Bochao was moved by his nephew's suggestion, but felt that it was too reckless, and not something that a senior should do.

"Twin dragons play with the phoenixes! But it's a different story! " Xiahou Junyu instigated again with great experience.

"Hehe, you sure know how to play. Let's play together!" Young nephew, please wait a moment. I will have a few more people arrange this. If we, Twin Dragons, were to come out, we will at least have a few more phoenixes to play with! "Haha ?" Xiahou Bochao also changed his obscene smile. Seems like the shamelessness in his heart had obtained a brilliant victory.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle!" Xiahou Junyu also laughed.

They did not know that at this time, the Xiahou Family's capital family was in a state of extreme anxiety. They were also having a headache about the huge sum of five hundred thousand gold.

Before this, Xiahou Boyuan who was mainly responsible for this matter thought that it was not a very troublesome matter, at most, it was a little cumbersome.

It was unknown where this force had gotten in the way, but the funds that could have been extracted easily became difficult to move forward in. There were even some places where there was no way to transfer any of the funds.

Moreover, this hidden force seemed to have a plan in mind. Where he had just transferred the funds, there would be a large amount of money injected into the place. It was a fast and ruthless annexation. It was simply too frightening.

However, Xiahou Boyuan who had stayed in the business world for so many years still could not figure out who the enemy was. The only thing he could do was tear down the east wall to repair the west wall.
