Helian sat in the middle of the room, in front of him was a book of "Pouring Jade", Mr. today asked about the four seasons of scenery and play, she suddenly remembered that this book, it was from a previous thoughtful woman, she couldn't help but find it to read carefully, but this book has been on the desk for half a moment, but she has not opened it for a long time.

There were footsteps outside the door, followed by the voice of the maid: "Miss, things are a little bad." ”

Helian Youfang was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses and stood up suddenly, "What's bad?"

The maid was taken aback by her eager attitude, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Zuo'er is back, he said that at the side gate of Xiaoyao Garden, he saw an old mother surnamed Fang, who went in and out twice, and then was taken away by the fourth lady's people. ”

"What?" Helian Youfang wondered, "What mother's surname Fang?"

The maid said: "The maid doesn't know, it's just that Aunt Fang is the sister of an old mother in the eldest lady's courtyard, and she was originally tending to flowers and plants in the big garden, but she doesn't take care of the place in Xiaoyao Garden, I don't know why I went there today." ”

Helian Youfang's face had changed, and he asked tightly, "What else?"

The maid hurriedly said: "Xiao Zuo'er said that there are still people who have been following him, he didn't find it at first, but then he saw that Aunt Fang was taken away, and someone came to look for him, he heard the sound, and quickly took the path and ran back to report the news." ”

Helian was cold in the secluded room, and after thinking about it before and after, she knew that she had fallen into a trap, and her face was extremely pale.

"Miss!" Seeing the great change in her demeanor, the maid couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Helian Youfang pushed her away, shook his head, and said through gritted teeth: "I never thought that Helian had such a thief in the family today!"

The sky was already dark, and the two sides of the steps leading to Yong'an Hall were lit with bright lights, and step by step, there were people looking at it from miles away, and this brilliance could be seen.

Xu Changling stood by the Qianxian Pond in front of the main hall of Yong'an, alone, and there was no half of his entourage on the side.

Old Madame Helian was helped in, she was already a little out of breath, she was quite old, and she walked such a long step, and after entering the hall, she also waved away her entourage, stepped forward and saluted, and said, "The old man has seen the regent." ”

Xu Changling raised his hand slightly and said, "The old lady is an elder, so she is really polite." ”

His voice echoed through the vast hall, so empty that there was no emotion to hear.

"The old man heard that the regent had returned to his house and was asking to see him. ”

The old lady was listening to the fourth lady's reply to the important matter, and when she heard this, she was already angry, but when she saw that the regent had sent someone to invite her, and his internal and external arrangements were impermeable, how could he allow others to do small things?

I didn't think that Xu Changling suddenly smiled, he looked around the Yong'an Hall, it was extremely quiet, and thousands of lights were buried in this deep ancient courtyard, he said slowly: "Back then, the queen lived alone in the Piran Palace for five years, and no one went to visit, after the lonely king returned to Beijing, he saw a palace person who served her death, she said: Before the queen died, there was a saying, 'The world is ruthless, what am I!' What does the old lady think?"

The old lady stumbled and almost fell, but Xu Changling just looked at her quietly without any movement.

Presumably, in the old lady's heart, she is just a lofty idol who has brought glory to the Helian family, and what she thinks does not matter. He seemed to be speaking faintly, but the old lady could hear the sorrow in his words, which was his mother and her daughter.

"No!" the old lady said in a hurry, almost tearing her heart.

"Yes!" Xu Changling said heavily: "In the old lady's heart, your daughter and grandson are just stepping stones to maintain the glory of the Helian family. ”

"You!" the old lady pointed at Xu Changling, trembling constantly, "The regent is serious. ”

"Yes...... Hehe......" Xu Changling chuckled, "King Gu is the regent of Jinhua Kingdom, please be rude old lady." ”

The old lady's fingertips trembled, and after all, she sighed heavily and lowered her arm, "The old body has no way to teach, and today's affairs in the mansion will definitely give the king an explanation." ”

Xu Changling squinted his eyes slightly, but said: "The northern cities, adjacent to the Guanwai, the army defending the city are all the armies of Helian, Liang, Pang, Tu Yu and other clans, the Liang clan has been in charge of the seal for more than 40 years, and the three armies of the adjustable pupil road are as far as Kunlun and beyond, I don't know how the old lady feels about this?"

The old lady was shocked, she suddenly looked up at Xu Changling, and said: "This is the foundation of the four northern cities, the Liang clan is loyal, and it can also be ruthless to the regent!"

Liang's is the surname of the old lady's birth, if Xu Changling moves the Lun Taizhang, it is to draw the backbone of the Liang family, how can the old lady not be surprised?

Xu Changling smiled and said, "The old lady's loyalty, the price is really difficult to pay. ”

"Changling ......," the old lady sighed heavily, "the north is also your foundation. ”

Xu Changling raised his sleeves and laughed, and said: "The old lady is wrong, she is the son of the Xu family, the north and south of Jinhua, inside and outside Zhongzhou, are all my roots!" The power of his words can almost reach heaven and earth, and his posture is as high as the banner of the wind.

The light in the old lady's eyes was a little cloudy for a moment, yes, she was wrong, he could wave the throne in his hand without any nostalgia, how could he really regard the so-called forces in the north as a thousand weights, what he wanted was definitely not what was in front of him!

"What does the Lord Regent want to do?" she had to say.

Xu Changling raised his eyebrows and said: "The old lady must know very well how many hidden fields and properties the Helian family has, how many shops that have not been taxed, and how many benefits that the northern surnames have not spit out......

The old lady really couldn't stand on her feet this time, she held on to the cane with both hands, and almost put all the strength of her body on the Nanmu, which was no more than an inch thick, and said: "Changling, taking the advantage of people is tantamount to killing people, and there are still few people who have died for this since ancient times? ”

Xu Changling chuckled and said, "No, I want to ask the old lady to do something." ”

"What's the matter?" the old lady stared at him.

Xu Changling said: "The old lady can secretly know about them, so she said that the empress wants to reorganize the northern tax customs. ”

The old lady frowned.

Xu Changling said with a smile: "Compared with using their own profits, I charge them some interest, it should be much more comfortable, does the old lady think that now, the Liang family's Luntai seal is not so difficult to give up?"

The old lady was frightened for a moment, Xu Changling must be imperative for the military and political affairs in the north, she is old, she is really exhausted, she closed her eyes and nodded, "Old body, obey the regent's order." ”

There was a commotion outside the gate, and the old lady got up and asked, "Who is it?"

A waiter who entered the room had a look of embarrassment on his face, "It's the eldest lady, and I will definitely ask to see the regent." ”

The old lady frowned and wanted to reprimand, but Xu Changling said, "Let her in." ”
