The name Qi Wang is very familiar to Liu Ke.

She didn't expect that Qi Wang at this time would be a shopkeeper of the Shunqing Tea House under the name of the Chu Prince's Mansion.

Zhu was talking endlessly about this Qi Wang's various disobedience to the discipline of the government.

Liu Ke's thoughts returned to the time when Yan Chu divided the world in the previous life-

In Boling County in November of that year, the weather was freezing and dripping into ice!

The cold wind swept through people's skin like being slashed by a knife, piercing the heart.

In the meeting hall of the Marquis of Boling, the half-height auspicious elephant Ruyi four-legged smoker is constantly wafting out of the fragrant warmth.

Liu Ke sat on the main seat of the conference hall and coldly swept over everyone present.

The entire chamber was silently pin dropping.

Outside, the snow was falling, and goose-feather snowflakes were rolling in the wind, falling to the ground like a ballet in the air.

"I heard that the batch of cotton clothes was sold to the Chu State?"

Liu Ke's voice was not very loud, but it was cold like ice beads mixed in the snowflakes outside, knocking on everyone's hearts, making them shiver from the inside out.

At this time, the shopkeeper Duan, who was standing at the front tremblingly, couldn't help but feel very remorseful in his heart.

At this time, there was someone outside: "Master Hou is back!" ”

Qi Siren, Marquis of Boling, was twenty-six years old at that time, with a bit of elegance in his beauty and health, because of his meritorious service to the society and his versatility, he was very favored by today's saints.

However, after the Qi family joined the company, the family's industries were still operating.

Qi Siren is not a business material, he has been in charge of Liu Ke since he got married, and these industries have been expanding in Liu Ke's hands in an orderly manner, and now there are more than double the income compared to ten years ago.

Therefore, Qi Siren, who has been spending money lavishly. In terms of business, he also obeyed Liu Ke's arrangement convincingly.

It's just that when the original King Yan established the country, Qi Siren was named Marquis of Boling, but Liu Ke was still the same as before, she was in charge of everything, and Qi Siren gradually couldn't stand it.

When Liu Ke heard that he was back, the expression on his face became a little more solemn. But. Still slowly stood up.

Qi Siren walked into the conference hall with a cold air, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he knew that Liu Ke was angry because of the batch of cotton clothes.

He waved his hand at the foreign stewards who were standing in the chamber and did not dare to breathe. With a dry smile on his face, he said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go down!" ”

When the people heard this, they said. couldn't help but secretly glanced up at Liu Ke, and saw that Liu Ke didn't say anything to stop him. They came out one after another.

After Liu Ke waited for everyone to go down, he said angrily: "How can it be okay? What if that batch of cotton clothes was bought by the Chu Imperial Court? ”

"It's going to be so coincidental there, besides. I have already checked, Qi Wang is an ordinary merchant in Chudi. ”

Qi Siren replied with a forced smile on his face.

In this matter, he was already at a loss. So when he was questioned by Liu Ke, he became a little shorter.

"Ordinary merchants!?" Liu Ke said to Qi Siren so thoughtlessly. I didn't know what to say, "What kind of ordinary merchant would buy so many cotton clothes, more than the business of selling cotton clothes to make money, why did he spend so much money to resell cotton clothes?" Tell me about it! ”

Qi Siren faced Liu Ke's aggressiveness, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but come up: "How about I just sell that batch of cotton clothes to Chu State?" The imperial court did not prohibit trade with the state of Chu, why can others sell it but I can't sell it? This time, I made 20,000 taels! When have you ever done such a big business. ”

Liu Ke didn't want to quarrel with him, let alone explain anything to him, she just wanted to keep her comfortable life.

I don't want to push the Qi family into the abyss because of Qi Siren's stupid behavior.

Now that the Liu family is in a slump, all she can rely on is the Qi family, so she has to do her best to protect the Qi family.

Liu Ke took a deep breath and said, "I have already ordered someone to recover that batch of goods." ”

Qi Siren was anxious when he heard this, and shouted at Liu Ke: "Why are you? ”

"With you being the Marquis of Boling personally appointed by Emperor Dayan, and with the war between Yan and Chu is about to break out, I can't let you do a foolish thing that will ruin the Qi family because of a small loss!" After Liu Ke said this, he felt a little stuffy in his chest, and involuntarily pressed it gently.

Qi Siren sneered: "What do you know, why didn't I see that the war between Yan and Chu was about to break out, and now the saint is thinking of the old relationship with the king of Chu, and he will not use force with the Chu State at all, otherwise how can there be the current Chu State, and he will be wiped out as early as when Rong Yi is about to break out of control, and he will wait until now." You see how many people are making the wealth of the Chu State, why can't I? ”

Qi Siren yelled at Liu Ke and shook his hand and went out.

After Qi Siren left that day, he brought Liu Zhen back.

In those years, Qi Siren had a lot of indoor and outdoor rooms, and Liu Ke only turned a blind eye.

But she never thought that Qi Siren would bring Liu Zhen back and cross the clear road.

At this time, the Liu family has been defeated, after the rebellion of the king of Yan ascended the throne, the Liu family in the previous dynasty as officials did not descend to Yan, Liu Jiafu in the chaos of life and death is unknown, Liu Hao and Liu Ming self-deprecated to the people, resigned and returned to their hometown.

Fortunately, King Yan was lenient and did not condemn the Liu family.

It's just that the Liu family has been getting worse day by day since then.

Over the years, the men of the Liu family have died more and lived, and only the women and children of the family remain.

Liu Zhen and her biological mother Zhu depended on each other, but the Qi family became a prominent family in Boling at this time.

Therefore, it is understandable that Liu Zhen has the intention to make Qi Siren small.

It's just that within a few days, Qi Siren was imprisoned by the emperor.

That Qi Wang is also wanted.

Fortunately, Liu Ke found out early and pushed the business away early, otherwise Qi Siren's fault would have been even greater.

Rao is like this, or Liu Ke's barefoot kneeling to the palace gate to express his feelings moved the emperor Rong Shuo at the time, and Qi Siren was only dismissed, but not knighted.

After this incident, Qi Siren seemed to have seen some things clearly, and scolded Qi Wang for a few days.

I am not as interested in Liu Zhen as I was before.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Zhen is dissatisfied with herself.

It was also Liu Ke who was a little underestimated, she never thought that Liu Zhen would be so bold, and she actually pretended to be sick and lured Liu Ke to her room, and directly smothered herself on the bed with a pillow.

Liu Ke has been married to Qi Siren for many years, but he has not added anything else, but he has added a body of illness, and he does not leave his mouth on weekdays, and he is Liu Zhen's opponent at this time.

When Liu Ke woke up in the struggle, he found that he was in the meditation nunnery.

In the end, she can be reborn, and this Qi Wang is a temptation.

"Sister-in-law, do you think this Qi Wang should be replaced?" Zhu's words interrupted Liu Ke's thoughts.

Liu Ke put down the hand holding his head, and said embarrassedly: "What did my brother and sister say just now?" ”

Zhu sighed and said: "I told my sister-in-law, this Qi Wang has no ability but thinks he is pretending to be big and holding a shelf, should we change him?" It's just that, although I am in charge of the family's feed, but in the end, the name is not right, and these guys outside are not easy to change, but now I have a sister-in-law, I can rest assured. ”

When Liu Ke heard this, he sneered silently in his heart, Zhu is letting herself come forward to be a bad person, and she herself is hiding behind and please, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

And judging from the events of the previous life, it is very likely that this Qi Wang is Rong Yi's person.

Rong Yi must have a purpose in pressing Qi Wang in Shunqing Tea House, and she doesn't think she will do such a thankless job.

However, Liu Ke did not reject the Zhu family in person, but said to the little servant who recorded: "You quickly write down these words of the princess of the county, and I will go to Shunqing Tea House another day to see how many heads this Qi Wang has." ”

After listening to Liu Ke's words, Zhu was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I don't need to remember, my sister-in-law just needs to replace him." ”

"You have to remember, if you don't remember clearly, I'm afraid I'll forget about this stubble in a few days." After Liu Ke finished speaking, he told the little guy again.

After the little guy memorized it, Liu Ke ordered Yuye and Wanqiu to put away the thick stack of papers he had memorized, and said, "Brother and sister, there should be nothing to do today, then I will take these things to review first, and come back to learn from you tomorrow." You'll have to come tomorrow! ”

Zhu hurriedly stood up and watched Liu Ke leave, before sitting in his seat with a smile.

At this time, Liu Ke is a woman who is ignorant of the world, ignorant of human affairs, and has never seen the world, so she is not afraid at all.

Liu Ke took the stack of things and looked at them while returning to his yard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Rong Yi came out from the inside, and said with a smile: "How about it, today's harvest seems to be not small." ”

Liu Ke put the stack of things in Rong Yi's hand and smiled, "See for yourself." ”

Rong Yi roughly flipped through and was puzzled: "What kind of mess is this, what are you doing with this?" ”

"I won't tell you yet, I'll tell you in a few days." Liu Ke saw that Rong Yi's face seemed to be happy, and asked, "Didn't you go to the camp today?" Why did you come back so early, did you encounter something good? ”

Rong Yi pulled Liu Ke into the room, "There are two things, which one do you want to hear?" ”

"I don't know which two things are, how do you choose?" Liu Ke cried and laughed, "You're dizzy with joy." ”

Rong Yi looked up to the sky and smiled: "First thing, the emperor heard the testimony today, although he only listened to half of it and did not insist on the last, but this shows a problem, the emperor's health is improving." ”

"What about the second thing?" Liu Ke asked.

Rong Yi tidied up his clothes and said seriously: "The second thing, I have been promoted by your father-in-law." He was promoted from the subordinate escort to the lieutenant of the Zuo Daying Infantry Army, and he can enter the palace to listen to the government in the future. ”

Liu Ke pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "In the future, I will be close to the emperor, and the responsibility will be greater." ”

Rong Yi nodded and said, "You're right, I said I would change your mind and face for you." ”

"You weren't a big traitor in the first place, so you said something to change your mind." Liu Keyi frowned.

Just as they were talking, Liu Kun suddenly broke in from outside. (To be continued)
