Chapter 3: Wolf Ambition
"I heard that this field belongs to the right disciple?"
"Yes, this disciple has a few talents in charge of the right disciples, and he is a character. ”
As soon as Xian Qi thought of the 100,000 acres of fertile land he saw from the mountain down the mountain every day, he was curious about this person.
"Is it a character?!"
"But Captain Pontus doesn't like this right-handed master very much!"
Not to mention that if Ao Ziyan wants Cheng Jia to compete with him for the position of Yin, let's just say that Zhou Jinghua and Cheng Jia's marriage contract, plus the disaster relief case, the Zhou family is full of doors......
This pile, piece by piece, counted, if it weren't for this Cheng Jia in the middle, his good Lord Yueshan could have died innocently in vain?
Ruo Ao Yuejiao's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of coldness, Xianqi's dagger turned casually between his fingers, and a strange edge flashed under the faint candle light.
Xian Qi saw that Ruo Ao Yuejiao didn't like Cheng Jia and immediately changed his words, "This eastern suburb is about to be harvested in autumn, according to the news that Xian Qi has not reported to the court, if the adults ignore this batch of grain, he can only eat the yellow lotus dumbly at that time, and there is nowhere to complain." ”
After a pause, "I just heard that the princess is also in this eastern suburbs, and I am afraid that if she robs this batch of grain and grass, it will inevitably alarm the East Palace." ”
Xianqi looked at the man on the main seat and said hesitantly.
He is just a businessman, in business, Yue Jiao promised to help him regain the power of the Xian family, and he naturally helped Yue Jiao to give advice and recruit troops.
"Don't say it's just a move to the East Palace Lady, you have to remember that what Captain Bendu wants is that if Ao Ziyan dies in the north, he will never be able to return to Chu!
The dagger in his hand fell heavily, and with a "click", a whole fine mahogany round table was reduced to waste wood under the dagger in his hand.
"Yes, String Seven understands. ”
Xianqi bowed his head to take orders, and then picked up the short dagger that fell to the ground with his big hand.
However, it doesn't matter if a princess of Chu dies or not, and a Zheng Guo person dies.
He was just afraid that Yue Jiao wouldn't dare to make a move!
This Yue Jiao and Ruo Ao Ziyan's father and son's feud......
But when he saw the rare fertile land in the eastern suburbs in a hundred years, he always felt that this Cheng Jia and his Xian family seemed to be from the same Guanzi family, but he never heard his father say that Guanzi had given the book "Guanzi" to others again.
After Yuejiao left, the wild dog walked into the house with a cat's waist and reported, "Childe, Miss Qing'er has successfully mixed with Cheng You's apprentice, but it's just ......"
"Just what?"
Xianqi frowned secretly when he heard this.
Now, if it weren't for the lack of powerful people under his hands, he wouldn't be so restrained, and he could completely swallow everything in the eastern suburbs alone.
"It's just that after Miss Qing'er got on the boat, now that the big ship has sailed away, the subordinates don't know how to assist Miss Qing'er, so they came back to ask the son. "The wild dogs also knew that they were always incompetent, but there was no way, they were originally just outcasts, then slaves, then thugs, and now they also do part-time work.
"Is there anything unusual on the docks, or anything special?" asked String Seven.
"Something special?" the wild dog thought for a moment and replied, "We found that there are a lot of Vietnamese people on the dock over there, but fortunately, Miss Qing'er can speak Yue, so she was immediately favored by that Su Cong and transferred to the big ship...... However, I heard from the local people that these Yue people were helping Cheng Youtu build a dock, and then the subordinates of this wharf found that this place is not small by moving bricks during the day, and the scale is only smaller than the scale of our Xian family's wharf in Zhifu (Yantai) in Qi State, but the subordinates see that there are many big houses to be built, especially on the side of the wharf, in addition to the one that drove away, there are also three big boats parked. ”
Speaking of this, the wild dog paused, "Childe, it is the first time that the subordinates have seen such a large ship, each of which is three stories high, twenty zhang long, and five zhang wide, just like a behemoth. ”
"How is that possible?"
Hearing this, Xian Qi reprimanded lightly, with a look of disbelief, "My Xian family's cargo ship in Qi Guozhifu is only two stories high, and this is already the largest cargo ship in various countries. ”
"The slave swears, you ask Ah Wu and they have seen it too!"
The wild dog was secretly bitter in his heart, he was just inquiring about the news, and telling the truth what he had seen and heard.
Hearing this, Ah Wu stepped forward and said, "Childe, you must believe the words of the minions, we have all seen it with our own eyes, and then we also watched one of the big ships carry Miss Qing'er away, what is it called 'Crossing Number'!"
"The Crossing?"
Xianqi frowned secretly, he always felt that he had heard of this name.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
However, so many people have seen it with their own eyes, this pier, he is going to take a look for himself, maybe there is really some great secret art hidden there, this eastern suburb really makes him more and more curious......
A watermill that has never been seen before.
Never-before-seen greenhouses.
And huge ships that have never been seen before......
On the second day, in the big house of Ruo Ao Mansion, Ruo Ao Ziliang called Yue Jiao, who had returned all night, early in the morning.
"What have you been busy with lately? I heard Jinghua say yesterday that you didn't return all night?" Ruo Ao Ziliang said with concern.
"These days, because I have taken up the position of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, I have more things on my hands, and I am only back now. Yue Jiao said with a rare and gentle expression on his face.
"Don't be too lucky, there are some things that should be left to the people below to do, so leave them to the people below to do. Ruo Ziliang patted his son on the shoulder and asked him to sit down, "Did you have dinner that morning?"
Yue Jiao nodded, glanced at the housekeeper who was standing on the side, and said coldly, "Then it's bothering the housekeeper." ”
"The eldest prince is polite, and the slave will go down to make arrangements. ”
When the butler heard this, he withdrew from the study, and wisely took all the people who were waiting in the study out.
"By the way, I will retire after this year for my father, what about you...... Our big house will definitely rely on you to support us in the future, so my father wants to transfer you to my side, and I plan to hand it over to others to do things like the forbidden army's vigil. Ruo Ao Ziliang slowly said his plan.
"Father, do you want to transfer the child to Sima Mansion?" Yue Jiao asked with a frown when he heard this.
"Yes, now that Sima Zuo is old, my father wants you to familiarize yourself with the operation of Sima Mansion as soon as possible, and my position will be left to you sooner or later. Ruo Ao Ziliang nodded and explained.
"But the child feels that now that he is under the grace of the king, if he leaves suddenly, I am afraid that the king will be inconvenienced. Ruo Ao Yuejiao postponed, his big fists clenched, I don't know why Ruo Ao Ziliang suddenly mentioned this matter to him today.
And what he has always wanted is not the position of Sima, but the position of Ling Yin, which originally belonged to their big house.
"You can give this to a proper deputy, just bring him up, what about being a father? I also want to enjoy Qingfu as soon as possible, and you and Jinghua will also start our big house as soon as possible, and you don't have to work so hard......," Ruo Ao Ziliang said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you for your concern. ”
Ruo Ao Yuejiao thanked him.
"By the way, Jiao'er, my father forgot to ask you before......"
Ruo Ziliang's words suddenly changed and asked, "Where did the Wang Wan slave you gave to the king last time come from? "Afterwards, he did ask the relevant departments to investigate, but he didn't find out the transfer of such a large number of slaves, if it was purchased locally from Yingdu, then a small number of people would be asked at once, and Fu Yin would definitely report it.
"This ...... It was a group of homeless people who were homeless and willing to follow the children, so the children took them in so that they could be assigned to work on the farm under my Ruo Ao family's house......"
Ruo Ao Yuejiao was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that it had been almost a month, Ruo Ao Ziliang suddenly asked about it again, and then he could only say hard.
Such a large number of slaves, if it is said that they were soldiers bought from other countries.
That would be even more of a sin than that.
"It is a big crime to confinish the homeless people without permission!"
Ruo Ao Ziliang was shocked when he heard this, and then the teacup that was drinking tea fell, and he made a loud noise, and started a fire at Ruo Ao Yuejiao, "How dare you do such a thing!"
"Father, I just saw that our big house was weak, so I wanted to add more manpower. Yue Jiao clenched his fists and looked at Ruo Ao Ziliangdao, who was rarely angry.
"When is there a shortage of people in our big house, why don't I, the head of the house, know?"
Ruo Ziliang stood up angrily and asked.
Ruo Ao Yuejiao didn't say anything, just knelt down straight on his knees in front of him.
If Ao Ziyan was still scolding, he suddenly paused, and his stunned eyes widened as he looked at his son who was kneeling on his knees, and for a while it seemed that he couldn't speak a thousand words.
Yue Jiao kowtowed to the sin and said, "The child later knew that this was wrong, so I sacrificed all these homeless people to the king, wanting to make amends, and ask my father not to be angry about this matter......"
"You...... How could you do such a daring thing!"
"The child only listened to the nonsense of the people below for a while, so he did such a thing, and he will not dare to do it next time. Yue Jiao knelt down and promised.
"Say, whoever instigated you to do such a thing, I will kill him immediately!"
"If I can't keep such a wolf ambition in the Ao clan. ”
"Sooner or later, he's going to get into trouble!"
Yue Jiao's big hands clenched on the ground when he heard this, did his father think that this was called "wolf ambition"?
If Ao Zi is very good-natured, he looks at his son who is kneeling in front of him, but he also believes that his son will never be able to do such a bold thing, there must be some bold slave behind him who instigated the religion to be confused for a while.
Afterwards, Ruo Ziliang punished a cadre of the Blue Wolf Pavilion and others, and found out a staff member who planned for Yuejiao and killed him to make an example of his friends, and at the same time ordered someone to beat Yuejiao fifty boards, and he couldn't get out of bed for ten days.
When Yin Zi heard the news of the return from the people in the big house, he just sneered, "Big brother, I still have too good a heart, I know such a lie, and I can believe it, but it's just a scapegoat casually introduced......"
