readx;? However, when Xiao Jiong listened to Mrs. Qiuguo's intention, the teacup in his hand was almost shaken off. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info(.. ）

"What did you say, ma'am?"

"Lord Fu Yin wants to be the master of the slave family!" Mrs. Yu Guo was charming, staring at Xiao Jiong with a pair of watery eyes, full of grievances, and I felt pity.

"Strange thing!" Xiao Jiong was rarely distracted for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "How can this woman be so ......?"

"Energetic!"

Xiao Jiong had also seen Mrs. Qiu Guo before, although he also felt beautiful at that time, but for people of his level, there was no shortage of beauty, so he didn't have too deep feelings.

But the current Mrs. Qiu Guo gave Xiao Jiong a sudden surprise.

The biggest feeling is vitality!

Of course, Xiao Jiong knew the age of Mrs. Qiuguo, and he had seen similar vitality in many young girls, and there was no shortage of young maidservants in his family.

But when the youthful vigor and the charm that had precipitated over the years blended together, Xiao Jiong couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"My lord, my lord......" Mrs. Yu Guo felt Xiao Jiong's gaze, she had seen many similar gazes.

But she also knew Xiao Jiong's identity before, and she could be looked at by such a powerful boss with such eyes......

Mrs. Qiu Guo was a little excited!

"Oh......" Xiao Jiong came back to his senses, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, taking advantage of the embarrassment just now.

"Ma'am, you mean you've been beaten?"

"Yes!" When it came to business, Mrs. Yu Guo immediately looked angry: "A gang of gangsters, who bullied the slave family and did not bring the guards out that day, actually humiliated and beat Mrs. Chaoguo, it is really an unforgivable crime!"

"Lord Fu Yin, you must be the master of the slave family!" Mrs. Yu Guo once again showed her own style without reservation.

However, Xiao Jiong is a long-standing boss after all, how could he be tricked again, put down the tea cup in his hand, and thought about what Mrs. Qiu Guo said just now.

"Little thug?" Xiao Jiong asked, "Where is the little thug?"

"Of course, it's in a courtyard in Dongshi!" Mrs. Yu Guo said indignantly: "I was humiliated that day, and the slave family also inquired in many ways afterwards, but there was no news. ”

"Pity me! I met these brutes again today!" Mrs. Qiu Guo casually made up nonsense: "I let the coachman follow all the way, and then I know where they live!"

"Fortunately, today's slave family is riding in an old carriage, so these beasts didn't notice!"

"The slave family got the letter, and immediately turned around and came to Lord Fu Yin!" Seeing that Xiao Jiong was still indifferent, as he spoke, Mrs. Yu Guo actually got up and bowed to Xiao Jiong, and cried at the same time: "I hope that Lord Fu Yin can be the master of the slave family!"

Xiao Jiong frowned, and through Mrs. Qiuguo's deliberately concealed words, he still roughly knew who the "little beasts" in the other party's mouth were.

"Xu Fan, ah......"

Xiao Jiong, who had just obtained the documents of the Ministry of Rites, actually didn't want to make extraneous branches, although he put Xu Chen together not long ago, and he also very much hoped to catch Xu Chen's handle, so as to force the other party to make concessions on the land of Ryukyu.

Behind Xiao Jiong is not only the Xiao family, the southern maritime trade has flourished for so many years, to say that the magnates of Chang'an are completely unaware, it is obviously impossible!

There are many industries in big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, not to mention others, even the sudden extra goods in the market in the past few years will definitely make them aware of it.

Even many families have been directly involved in the trade of the Silk Road, and these people are the most vigilant about the goods of the Western Regions on the market.

The maritime trade in the south has not been produced privately by underground workshops for decades, and there is no need for too deep understanding, only if someone goes to Yangzhou and Yizhou, it is impossible to hide the rise of maritime trade from those who are interested in investigating.

It can only be said that there are many surprises in their respective concepts, spheres of influence, industrial distribution, etc., and the big families in the north did not have a unified and large-scale targeted action before the seven sects and five surnames went south to Yangzhou.

In addition, the Southern Maritime Trade Group has a lot of power in the court, and it is huddled together, and when it encounters temptations and blows, its methods are clever in the past.

Out of trade-offs, the big families in the north did not take large-scale action until the Seven Sects and Five Clans took the lead in provoking the big storm that spread throughout the south.

After the rebellion in the south was completely put down, the families in the north, whether they knew it beforehand or not, had apparently noticed the super big cake of maritime trade!

However, even though the south has experienced war, the maritime groups still have a deep-rooted influence in the south, and it is not so easy to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth.

Although there are already people operating to let the seven sects and five surnames take the lead, and unite the northern forces to put pressure on the south and force the other party to hand over a certain share of the matter.

But after all, it's only in the making.

However, there are some big families in Chang'an, and suddenly in such a stalemate, they found a piece of virgin land that has not been developed!

That's Ryukyu!

It is difficult to say the specific reason, perhaps it has been discovered since Wang Ce began to move around Chang'an and rushed to establish the Ryukyu Domain, or perhaps it was the sudden resurgence of the Lu State Mansion that made many old nobles suspicious, and then began to investigate.

In short, after Xu Chen was identified as the envoy of the Ryukyu Festival, there were also many spies from large families who arrived in the Ryukyus along with the holy decree.

At that time, the Ryukyus, which had already begun construction during the counterinsurgency war, could not hide from these interested spies.

The news soon spread back to Chang'an, and the family behind it soon discovered that Ryukyu had better maritime trade conditions than Yangzhou.

A Yangzhou city, and an island with an area almost equivalent to the entire Guanzhong, on one side is a strictly guarded maritime group, and on the other side is just a group of yellow-haired boys.

didn't grab it directly, it was already a huge privilege that Xu Fan still had at that time!

The meaning of these families behind it converged on Xiao Jiong, whether it was the interests of the Xiao family, or taking the opportunity to integrate this group of veteran nobles, Xiao Jiong's attack on Xu Chen was understandable.

Xiao Jiong has never given up on this purpose, but there are priorities, and the most important thing at the moment is, of course, to safely survive the court turmoil after the prince's incident, and this turmoil has reached the most critical juncture.

Although it is still calm on the surface, in private, whether it is the three prime ministers of the political affairs hall, or the major families behind it, and even the crown prince who failed to rise and the angry emperor, they have done a lot of things.

The people of the flower house are arresting and killing people day and night, and the streets are quiet, because they never make a big move, even if they raid the house and exterminate the clan, it is only after the flower house has already done it that the people of Dali Temple or the criminal department go through the motions.

The emperor also seemed to be restraining his anger, and the three prime ministers were naturally making small moves for a long time.

What kind of solicitation, promises, and even marriages have been made!

In the face of such a chaotic situation, even Xiao Jiong, who has been through the wind and waves for a long time, is a little confused, and he can't see where the specific wind will blow.

In such an environment, Xiao Jiong will suspend his actions against Xu Chen, thinking that he should at least wait until after the imperial examination is completed.

After all, everyone knows that the results of this imperial examination will largely fill the power gap caused by this turmoil.

Since they can't see the situation clearly, they don't know how much they can save and how much they will lose, at least they must grab enough shares first, so as not to lose everything.

However, Mrs. Qiu Guo came to the door and opened her mouth to let herself take down Xu Chen, which ......

Looks like it's okay too!

Xiao Jiong, who had been thinking about it for a long time, suddenly became enlightened, and then came up with the same idea as Yang Guozhong: "Throw stones and ask for directions!"

And this stone is not thrown by himself, even if something happens, there is this stupid woman in front of him, if it runs well, not only can he take the opportunity to see the current situation a little, but he may also be able to take the land together.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Xiao Jiong, who had figured it out, immediately had an idea, and first motioned to Mrs. Qiu Guo to get up: "Madame, please get up, this official will let someone bring the suspect!"

"Huh?" Mrs. Yu Guo, who looked up, looked dazed, and forgot to wipe away the few tears that she had managed to squeeze out.

In this short tea session just now, Mrs. Qiuguo, who was kneeling on the ground, was inevitably apprehensive in her heart, and she didn't even have hope for Xiao Jiong.

After all, the other party is the prime minister of the dynasty, although she intends to cover it up, but in Xiao Jiong's hesitation, Mrs. Qiu Guo felt that the other party should have discovered the clues, so she thought that others had come out for themselves.

Although she is resentful, Mrs. Qiu Guo has no way to deal with the other party, such a title on her head is a joke in the eyes of others, if you really want to, people can easily invite one for their wife.

never expected that Xiao Jiong would agree to help him get ahead!

The joy came too quickly, and Mrs. Qiu Guo was a little stunned for a while.

Xiao Jiong was too lazy to take care of her complex psychological activities, and since the opportunity was sent to the door, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Come on, let the headcatcher come over!"

The head catcher is just a yamen official, lower than the ordinary county lord and the master bookkeeper, Xiao Jiong, as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion and the middle of the imperial history, sits in Chang'an as an important minister, and there is a difference of 108,000 miles between the small head catcher.

Therefore, Xiao Jiong didn't know that the head catcher of his yamen had changed not long ago.

The head catcher who walked in was an acquaintance of Xu Chen.

Haifeng, who was originally the head catcher in Jiaxing County, has replaced his boss a few years ago and became the new head catcher of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

And the original head catcher has become a victim of the student brawl case a year ago, and at this moment, I am afraid that I can't even find the bones.

"My lord!" Haifeng bowed to Xiao Jiong.

Xiao Jiong only glanced at Haifeng, and felt that this person's temperament was quite good, but he didn't think much about it, anyway, he wouldn't remember such a little person.

It's just that what Xiao Jiong never expected was that such a little person in front of him quickly made him remember it, and it was unforgettable!

"This is the Lady of the Holy Imperial Seal, and the lady was attacked by a gang of gangsters on the streets of Chang'an a few days ago......"
