How do you call it? Xiao Mo asked politely when he saw the visitor.

"My name is Zhang Quancai, and I came to talk to the head of the Xiao family about the attack on the Li family's courtyard on the order of the Grand Governor."

Zhang Quancai is right, he used to be a guy at the Chengnan Inn in Taiyuan Mansion, he joined Red Peony as early as two years ago, and now he is the person in charge of the party.

In the past, the shopkeeper could speak well, but now he no longer needs to flatter others, although he is young, he gives people a calm feeling.

"This is a misunderstanding." Xiao Mo said directly.

"We already have the evidence, you see that this is the identity tag left by the assassin, and we have determined that the sign is from a shop of the Xiao family." Zhang Quancai said.

Zhang Quancai's speech was more rigorous, the brand was from the Xiao family's shop, but it did not say that it must be from your Xiao family, and Li De also doubted whether this person was really from the Xiao family.

Xiao Mo looked at the sign, the identity of his own shop was naturally known, and there was no reason to refute it, so he said to the housekeeper next to him: "Go and check the identity of this person, it is related to the reputation of the Xiao family and must be investigated." ”

"Yes." The butler took the sign and left immediately.

It didn't take long for the housekeeper to hurriedly trot back and whisper a few words in Xiao Mi's ear, and saw that Xiao Miao's face was not very good.

"After waiting for a long time, we have checked that person did work as a buddy in the Xiao family's shop, but he was dismissed from the house a month ago, and he just sent someone to his home to investigate, and the neighbor said that this person did not live here a month ago, and under careful questioning, this person is not a local person, saying that he came to a relative, and found the original owner to know that the house was temporarily borrowed by that person with money, and it is a relative relationship to outsiders, which is really a disaster."

"The head of the Xiao family sent me to explain the situation, if the Xiao family can provide favorable evidence, then the misunderstanding will be solved logically, but if someone wants to show love, this is not a wise move."

Zhang Quancai's words have a strong threatening meaning, the Youzhou forces do not have such strength now, and if they change their attitude, they may really lose their prestige.

"I believe that the Metropolitan Governor is wise, otherwise he would not explain the matter so frankly, our Xiao family is responsible for collecting evidence to prove innocence in order to resolve the misunderstanding, do you think this is good?" Xiao Mo said.

Zhang Quancai came over to clarify the situation, not to embarrass the Xiao family, the attitude of the head of the Xiao family is already very face-saving, and this matter is basically half completed here.

"Master Xiao, if there is a misunderstanding of what the Metropolitan Governor means, can you speak alone?" Zhang Quancai said.

Xiao Mo looked around the housekeeper and nodded, and the housekeeper immediately left the room.

"Now can you tell me what the Metropolitan means?" Xiao Mo is a smart person, since he came to negotiate and did not use the power of Youzhou to oppress the Xiao family, he also has to give face with this.

He also wanted to know what the Governor wanted to tell him.

"The Metropolitan Governor means that since this matter is a misunderstanding, it is better to plan it, I don't know if the head of the Xiao family is willing to act in this scene." Zhang Quancai said.

Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, and nominally fell out with Li De to let the people hiding in the dark stand up, but it is not difficult to calculate the plan, once he cooperates with Youzhou, then the Xiao family may not be able to be an enemy in the future.

He thought of their scheme, and in addition, the Xiao family was acting together with the Zhang family to seize the economic market, and the cement was not to prevent the Li family, and it seemed that it would not be good for them to do these things after they cooperated.

The Xiao family also needs to have financial support, and on the one hand, it is not a good thing to face the oppression of the Youzhou forces that have been enemies with it early.

On the other hand, it is necessary to negotiate with partners, if there is a mistake in the middle, then the Xiao family will lose partners, these things are in front of him, how to choose is really a difficult problem.

"Okay, since most of the governors have said so, my Xiao family will definitely cooperate."

Xiao Mo finally made a decision, he is still more inclined to cooperate with Youzhou than the Zhang family, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are not decorations, if he offends the Zhang family for this, then the worst plan of his Xiao family is to directly serve Li De.

When the time comes, no one will take him, and the plan can still continue, but in a different way.

"In that case, then the next thing ......"

Zhang Quancai said the plan that had been prepared a long time ago, and Xiao Mo listened to the plan to prepare next.

After half a month, it was rumored that the Xiao family had a conflict with Youzhou forces because of business matters, and Youzhou needed the Xiao family to compensate for the cement matter, and the compensation reached 500,000 yuan.

The news spread quickly, even if the business of the restaurant in winter was brought to such a lively by such news, several restaurants in Gangneung have launched hot pot sets.

It is to spend a fixed amount of money to buy a hot pot package, and the situation is similar to the previous hot pot express in Chang'an, but the hot pot launched by the restaurant this time is what they have spent money to join.

Consistent money can eat a rich meal, the variety of ingredients is rich in many people have not seen, Gangneung has a hot pot main store, and other hot pot stores are franchisees.

The winter in Gangneung has set off a habit of eating hot pot, and as soon as the restaurant is lively, there will be more news, and the hearsay news is still true.

"Do you know that the Xiao family wants to compensate 500,000 yuan to Youzhou?" The good man asked the person next to him.

"500,000 yuan, I may not be able to see so much money in ten lifetimes, will the Xiao family really pay?" Many people's hearts have dropped to the point that the Xiao family is rich, but 500,000 guan may not even be able to take out so much money at once.

"What do you think, that's 500,000 guan is not 50,000 guan, how can the Xiao family take it out, I heard that the Xiao family master is sick for this matter now, and I also heard that if you don't exchange the money for Youzhou before the beginning of spring, you may have to send troops."

"Ah, then wouldn't we suffer with it, haven't the soldiers and horses of Youzhou always loved the people very much, how could they be like this."

"You're right, the premise is the people of Youzhou, are you?"

"Now the Xiao family may have to lose all the property, I don't know if I can do it, if I send the people of the Xiao family to join the army, alas, I don't dare to think about it."

"No, don't they have such power?" Someone questioned.

"Why not, don't you know, Youzhou didn't listen to the imperial court's orders a long time ago."

"Don't talk nonsense, do you know why, it's because the imperial court doesn't have the ability to take Youzhou, and the vanguard will keep the Turks out of the Sui State, so the sixteen states of Youji are obtained, and the imperial court doesn't provide them with food, grass and salaries, so you have to obey the dispatch?"

"You have a point."

"Shhh, don't talk about state affairs, now Your Majesty is in Jiangling and is carefully arrested, and his life will be gone."
