In the courtyard of the Shen family in Dongshan, King Ping's middle finger was against the head of the Mofu housekeeper in front of him.

"Mo Daoxuan hasn't already agreed to accept Miss Shen as an apprentice, how can he behave like that in front of the Hou Mansion?"

It is related to the great cause of the restoration of the emperor, and the king of Ping, who did not dare to slack off in this trip to Qingcheng, also had the intention of doing a good job in his private heart, so as to accompany everyone in the capital to have a good time. Originally, he had already negotiated with the Shen family, just waiting for an opportunity to destroy the Hu family, and transport the gold and silver mountains in the Hu family's treasury back to Luoyang to accompany him. With this big money, my father will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and he should be the first to make a success in the future. At that time, with the status of the mother concubine in the heart of his father and the glory of his grandfather's family, he will be the best candidate to inherit the throne.

Driven by such a strong interest, the king can't help but care. Yesterday at noon, he was hung on a tree in the valley for two hours, and when he was finally rescued, he had already peed his pants, and he had nightmares with last night, and he woke up with a sore back. But when he heard the farce in front of Hu's house, all the discomfort was swept away.

The in-laws came to the door in public to make trouble, half of the people in Qingcheng were watching the excitement, and the Hu family, who caused public anger, saw that it was not far from the end.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to mention how refreshed he was, he only felt that he was already wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, wearing a crown of the Son of Heaven, and ascending the dragon chair to dominate the world.

When he heard that Mo Daru, who lived in Dongshan Beiye, was going out, he was almost sure that the matter was nine out of ten, after all, it was something he personally ordered in the name of his father. But he never thought that it was his most confident point, but at the most critical moment, he turned back, making all his previous plans fall short.

"He doesn't know how much he has broken with his words!"

In a fit of rage, King Ping stepped forward and grabbed the butler's arm, wanting to learn what Lu Jingyuan did to him yesterday, and threw the person to the tree in a dashing manner. But I tried again and again, until the pain of tearing came from the tiger's mouth, and the person in front of him still didn't move. On the other hand, he was so tired that he was panting, his erect abdomen squirming up and down, and his brocade clothes shimmered dazzlingly in the sun.

"Your Highness is angry." The housekeeper of Mofu took out a letter from his chest and presented it with both hands, "Before leaving early in the morning, the master handed over this thing to the villain, saying that if His Royal Highness King Ping is angry, the villain can retreat after presenting this thing." ”

Grabbing the envelope, King Ping waved his hand casually to signal him to step back, and opened the envelope and looked at it at a glance.

Mo Da Confucianism is brilliantly written, a letter is neat and neat, but the meaning is very simple when translated into the vernacular. He promised the Emperor Taishang to accept Shen Moci as an apprentice, and this thing has been done. However, he did not promise that he would not accept others again, so it was his freedom to accept whoever he wanted, and King Ping couldn't control it.

Then he felt the heart of his deceased wife, and for the rest of his life, he wanted to stay away from the flashiness and do his studies with peace of mind, and he didn't want to be involved in the rights and wrongs of the world. If King Ping had to interfere more, he had also known a lot of things over the years by the grace of the Emperor Taishang, and he might not know what to do.

If the first half is so angry that people's teeth itch, the second half directly makes people swallow it hard.

"Mo, Dao, Xuan!" King Ping almost squeezed these three words out between his teeth, "Shameless villain, this king will definitely make him discredited." ”

King Ping was so angry that he smoked, but fortunately, the staff who followed him still had some sense.

"Your Highness, for the sake of today, it is better to complete the Emperor's entrustment first. A treacherous villain like Mo Daoxuan, when he succeeds in the future, why not let him be ruined. ”

"But now the Hu family is as stable as Mount Tai, and this king is helpless."

"With all due respect, Your Highness is noble and has a noble status, so why do you need to do it yourself."

Following his words, King Ping remembered Aci's persuasion yesterday. In the two hours since he was thrown into a tree by Lu Jingyuan, he has been thinking about what forces are available around Qingcheng. There is no endless road, and in the end, he really came up with such a one.

This person is none other than Wu Youliang, a fellow acquaintance who is in charge of many affairs such as salt, grain, theft, and river defense.

Tongzhi is only a five-grade official, and he is subject to Tongzhi's jurisdiction in political affairs, and he is considered a second-in-command in the local area, and the sky is above the people's heads. But this official position fell into the eyes of King Ping, who came out of the imperial city and was accustomed to seeing first- and second-grade officials.

What really caught his attention was this person's background, Wu Youliang was born poor and illiterate, and even his name was changed after joining the army. The reason why such a vulgar military man can achieve the same knowledge of the five products in Daxia, which is full of talents, is inseparable from the support of his superior, Guangping Hou Luda. More than ten years ago, the Marquis of Guangping guarded northern Xinjiang, and Wu Youliang was his personal guard. Whenever a Tatar attacked, he would charge boldly before his lord, and on two occasions he even blocked arrows from his flesh.

It was this loyalty that made Guangping Hou regarded him as a confidant, and he was transferred to the wealthy Jiangnan after several promotions.

Of course, King Ping didn't know in such detail, he only knew that Wu Youliang was from the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army had always been controlled by the Marquis of Guangping. When Princess Ning'an married Guangpinghou, the eldest son was Lu Jingyuan. It's just that he has another love in his heart, and he doesn't look down on his son-in-law in every way. If Qingcheng's matter is successful, it will be a great credit, and Guangping will not want to see this scene.

After thinking about this, King Ping called God to help me, and even sent someone to the state city.

"Has the messenger ever returned?"

The staff arched his hand and said, "I just came back before a stick of incense, and I am waiting outside." ”

Without further ado, King Ping could call someone in, and that person brought back Wu Youliang's message.

Wu Tongzhi said that this is a major matter of the imperial court, and everything is subject to the holy ruling, and it is inconvenient for local officials to interfere. He also said...... "Come and take a look left and right, the voice is an octave lower," Wu Tongzhi looked at the sky in the west, and sighed with emotion. ”

The capital is in the north, and the capital is in the west, and there is a meaning of "the sun and the moon shine together...... The staff was the first to figure it out.

"Your Highness, Wu Tongzhi only said that he would listen to the Holy Judge, but he didn't say which His Majesty would listen to."

"Oh? You mean......"

"Guangping waits for the town to guard the north, and the money spent every day is astronomical, and it is far from enough to rely on the silver allocated by the household department."

It seems like this...... King Ping nodded, and he frowned at the thought of another point, "But in this case, wouldn't we have to give away a large sum of silver?" ”

This idiot, the staff secretly scolded in their hearts, and now Shang and Guangping are watching from the sidelines, where did he get the confidence to swallow this silver tael alone.

"Miss Shen's side has failed, for today's plan, we can only use Wu Tongzhi to be involved first, and get through the difficulties in front of us first. After all, Wu Tongzhi is an official appointed by His Majesty, and he must be afraid of doing such a thing, but how to deal with Yin Liang does not depend on His Highness's intentions? ”

King Ping's eyes lit up, "You go in person, and now tell Wu Tong to know the sincerity of this king." ”

While King Ping and his staff were discussing, in Hu's study, Lu Jingyuan also informed Hu Jiuling of the purpose of the trip.

"Levy salaries?" Hu Jiuling only felt that his eyes lit up.

He always remembered the rebirth of Ah Yao, and when he remembered that his beloved daughter had suffered so much in his previous life, his heart was like a knife.

During this time, he also thought of some ways to suppress the Shen family's business, not to belittle the Shen family, nor to blindly reduce prices and other means to harm others and himself, but to improve the Hu family's silk village itself. Since he was eight years old, he was thrown by his father to the silk village, from the most basic picking mulberry and silkworm raising, to drawing silk and reeling, and then weaving, printing and dyeing, etc., he knows every process of silk and satin. The Hu family's standards for silk are already very strict, but in recent days, he has raised the standards to a higher level. Do not have silkworm leaves with insect eyes, pay special attention to jumpers when weaving, and the water temperature should be more uniform when printing and dyeing......

Not only are the requirements stricter in the weaving process, but also in the sale: the cloth sold should be considered to shrink in size, and the face should be smiling when someone enters the store...... All kinds of cumbersome rules directly listened to the guy's eyes as mosquito coils, shouting that this is to honor the customer as his own father.

In order to achieve this, he added a lot of new equipment, and increased the monthly money for the guy, and lost a lot in a short period of time. But this has attracted customers from the Shen family, and the quality of the cloth will definitely attract repeat customers, so it is a good strategy to stick to it for a long time. In fact, he has wanted to change for many years, but he has never been able to make up his mind.

But the silk village is a real industry, and the Shen family has a lot of property, and there are fewer customers, so it will not hurt them in a short time.

He has been looking for a way to make the Shen family hurt his muscles and bones, and he hates it so much that he even has some dark thoughts. For example, he burned down the Shen family's treasury and bought his subordinates to mix some other things in the printing and dyeing recipes, and he was too familiar with the silk village, and he had countless ways to make the Shen family's flesh hurt, but these ideas were immediately rejected by him after just thinking about it a little.

For no other reason, he is not alone, he has a daughter. He can't do those things that have no conscience and make people poke their backbones, he wants to be upright and be the father who makes A-Yao proud from the inside out.

What's more, he didn't believe that he couldn't think of a way, and he made the Shen family deflated openly.

It didn't take a few days for an opportunity to come to your door.

"Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, although there are many silk merchants in Qingcheng, those who have a lot of money don't know how many. But businessmen are profit-seeking by nature, and they are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and Hu has a plan. ”

"Master Hu said to hear it."

Lu Jingyuan actually had an idea in his heart, he had experienced a more complicated situation in his previous life, and the matter of Qingcheng was not complicated for him. But against Hu Jiuling, he always unconsciously made three more solemn points. After listening to him, he was glad that he had been a little more careful.

Hu and Shen have been competing for many years, and Hu Jiuling's attitude can be imagined; And because of what happened to that girl in his previous life, he didn't have a good impression of the Shen family. In this matter, the two wanted to go together, and the method was roughly the same, but some details were different. Compared with what he thought before, Hu Jiuling's few points seemed to make the Shen family more bitter and unspeakable.

"This plan is very good, so I will follow the words of Master Hu."

In the study, the future Weng son-in-law made a big plan to trap the Shen family in a few words, and as the culprit, no, it was A-Yao, who the two of them wanted to protect together, but they fell into a dilemma.

In the hall of the Hu family that entered later, Mo Daru and Master Kukai, who had finished grooming, sat left and right, and looked at her with expectant eyes.
