Chapter 57: Conspiracy
The back house of Chao Guoxiang, the second son of the city guard, has been quite unquiet recently, either there are concubines crying to him that they can't sleep at night, or many concubines are frequently sick, and what's more, there is a concubine he has always loved for an unprovoked miscarriage.

Chao Guoxiang couldn't find out the origin of those strange things in the backyard, but he didn't think about it, but he heard a lot of rumors when he was visiting the Spring Tower.
"Look, isn't the one in front of you the second son of Lord Chao?" these words came from the mouth of one of the three people who were around a small round table and were bowing their heads and talking privately.
The strange thing is that the three of them seem to be speaking in a low voice, but the voice is just right to reach Chao Guoxiang's ears.
"It's him, I didn't expect him to have the strength to visit the flower building, it's really ......" "How can I say this, I look at him and look like he is alive?"
"You don't know this, right, but I heard that he only accepted the daughter of the Jin family as his thirteenth concubine a few days ago, and his good life has just begun...... "Listening to the voice, you can also feel that the person who spoke must have a gloating look on his face at this time.
Chao Guoxiang was confused and annoyed in his heart, with his identity as the second son of the city guard, there were people who dared to arrange him in private, and he just wanted to step forward and question, but he saw that the three people ran away as if they were ghosts.
"his grandmother's legs, it's been a lot of strange things lately!" Chao Guoxiang couldn't help but curse secretly, seeing the bustard's mother walking towards him with a sneer on her face, she barely suppressed the anger in her heart at the thought of meeting the beautiful girls in the Spring Building right away.
It's just that when he was playing with the girls in Tongchun Building, he also heard a lot of rumors about his new concubine's room, although the girls said it vaguely, he still felt that there was something to be said: the daughter of the Jin family was born with a husband, and all the men who combined with her would inevitably be riddled with bad luck and disasters.
If it were in the past, Chao Guoxiang might still laugh at this nonsense, but if you think about it, since the woman who entered the Jin family entered the mansion, it seems that there are really a lot of things going on in his back house......
Chao Guoxiang had doubts in his heart, and his father Chao Jie's situation was not much better than him. I don't know who secretly handed over a secret letter with his land house overstepping, accepting bribes, relying on the strong and bullying the weak, etc., to the hands of the Yizhou Assassin Shi, originally he only needed to 'discuss' with the Assassin Shi to solve it, but this time the Thorn Shi seemed to be determined to get along with him, and he said that he would report his charges to the court, but he was so anxious.
It's not that Chao Jie didn't think of using strong means to force Thorn Shi to listen to him obediently, but although Thorn Shi was far inferior to him, he directly obeyed the orders of Dr. Yushi, and he didn't have the courage to offend Dr. Yu Shi who was a first-class official for the time being. It's just that he didn't fall for the crime before, but the stabbing history has always turned a blind eye, but for some reason this time he insisted on biting him.
The thorn is soft and hard, and Chao Jie can only think of erasing some of his crimes, the first of which is accepting bribes. Chao Jie, who was leaning on the soft chair in his study, touched his gray long beard and sighed, it seemed that there were some things he had to give up......
In the computer room of the Su family, Su Qingyuan was frowning and thinking about a batch of newly made brocades.
In order to succeed in being included in the emperor's army of merchants heading to the Western Regions, heroic adventures alone are not enough. It is said that this time the emperor wanted to send these merchants to sell the goods rationed by the Shu court, and if he could not win an advantage in the goods, he was really not sure that he would be able to win against those rich merchants with deep roots and strong backgrounds in all parts of Shu State. In order to carry out his plan, it seems that he must first start with the goods.
Just thinking about it, Su Minghui had already walked into the house with a happy face.
"Master, the news has been spread according to your orders, and then, just wait for Chao Guoxiang to expel the daughter of the Jin family from the house, and those merchants can relax and unite with you to fight to bring down that ...... in one fell swoop."
"You need to be cautious until things are settled. Su Qingyuan replied in a deep voice.
Su Minghui agreed, "It's just that the master is so sure that those concubines in Chao Guoxiang's backyard will work together to deal with the daughter of the Jin family?"
"In fact, the women in the back house are no different from people in shopping malls, officialdom or even battlefields. It's just doing things for their own interests, either by themselves or not, so that a group of people, after having a common enemy, will form some kind of subtle tacit understanding, and spontaneously cooperate against that person without explanation. These things will be understood when you have a wife in the future. ”
Su Minghui couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, in fact, he still couldn't understand the deep meaning of his master's words, but he didn't plan to continue to study this issue in detail, but expressed another of his doubts: "We have used a lot of methods recently, Jin Mantang can't not hear the wind at all, if he jumps over the wall in a hurry and makes some unpredictable measures, what should he do?"
"You also said that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, if he is forced to be in a hurry, the things he does will not be as meticulous as before, I hope that he will do something quickly, so that the people we have installed in the Jin family will pay more attention. ”
After staying in the Su family's computer room and shop until sunset, Su Qingyuan took a few high-level martial arts guards to the Xu Mansion.
Led by the doorman to the Xu family's meeting hall, Su Qingyuan saw the person he wanted to see on this trip.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law. Su Qingyuan folded his hands together, and respectfully sat on the sandalwood chair on the left and right, and the two of them saluted.
"A virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to be polite. Xu Jinliang smiled all over his face, looking very close to Su Qingyuan, but he didn't mention his concubine Xu Lian in half a sentence.
Ma raised his eyebrows and glanced at his husband, with a faint sarcasm in his eyes, this person had said Su Qingyuan in front of him before, but when he met people, he completely changed his appearance, such a character is really disgraceful, but it is very applicable in officialdom.
"I heard that the relationship between my father-in-law and Lord Liang is getting closer and closer, I am afraid that my father-in-law's name will soon appear in the list of official promotions, and the son-in-law will congratulate my father-in-law first. A little heart, not respect. Su Qingyuan snapped his fingers in the direction of the door as he spoke, and immediately several people carried a heavy box into the house, and quickly turned around and left after putting down the box.
There was no need to open the lid of the box, and the Xu couple also knew what would be in the box, and the smile on Xu Jinliang's face couldn't help but thicken.
"The virtuous son-in-law is so polite, but I don't know how to ...... as a father-in-law"
Su Qingyuan saluted the two again, and his tone was sincere: "Jin Mantang must have heard of the father-in-law's various actions, and this time the son-in-law came not only to congratulate the father-in-law, but also to hope that the father-in-law can put more effort into helping the son-in-law appropriately." ”
Although the official position of the county commander is not big, Xu Jinliang's power is far greater than what he shows on the surface, and with his help, Su Qingyuan is more handy in doing many things.
"The virtuous son-in-law said this is to see the outside, we are a family, where can I say what to say whether to help or not, your affairs, how can I not be unreasonable. ”
Looking at the half-human-tall box beside Su Qingyuan, Xu Jin's conscience could not hide his joy. The son-in-law has a request, and he wants to help both public and private......
