A few days have passed in a flash, and many things have happened in the meantime.

Shangguan Shaoyang, under the persuasion of Empress Dowager Zhong, took over the will of Emperor Jingxi and went to the border pass of Suzhou to lead troops to suppress bandits.

Cao Youzhi brought Zeng Sanye's son back to the ancient city, and did not give Zeng Sanye any help, so that Zeng Sanye was directly sentenced to death for murdering his uncle Zhong Tinghao.

One after another, Wang Xuanxin was also convicted and exiled to the border in the name of an accomplice, and was used as a military household.

Wang's mother and daughter could have stayed at the border pass, but Zhong Xuanlan disliked them for being too capable of tossing and sent them together.

Only Lu Quan and He Li were left to live in the ancient city grange.

When this matter came to an end, Zhong Xuan suddenly changed from there.

Huo Shangyu's business, with the cooperation of Zhong Zuo and Zhong You's two brothers, the cargo of the three major ships capsized in the Su River, and all of them sank into the river, causing heavy losses.

The grain transported from the ancient city to Nanliang was robbed by Zhong Zuo and others, and by the way, he blamed the prince of Nanliang.

Huo Shangyu suffered huge losses, the mystery in his heart became bigger and bigger, and he became more and more uneasy about Zhong Xuanli, and began to send people to stare at him step by step.

This night, Zhong Xuanli was plotting with the people who were staring at him to give Huo Shangyu an unforgettable gift.

In front of the Eight Immortals table in the room, Zhong Xuanli crossed Erlang's legs, knocked on the melon seeds and said, "Stingy, what do you say we want to give Huo Shangyu as a parting gift?" ”

This stingy, no, Xiao Qi is the person sent by Zhong You to protect Zhong Xuanli, because after Zhong Xuanli teased the secret guard on the tree, Xiao Qi took his place and guarded the big tree outside Huo Shangyu's study.

It didn't take long for Huo Shangyu to send Xiao Qi to keep an eye on Zhong Xuanli's every move, and then it was convenient for the two of them to pass on the news, and it also gave them the opportunity to communicate from time to time.

So there is the current scene.

Xiao Qi sat opposite Zhong Xuanli and gave Zhong Xuanli an idea: "Young master, how about I send a fake message to Huo Shangyu for an assassination?" ”

Zhong Xuanli shook his head, it was definitely not enough, he had been in this place for nearly two or three months!

Xiao Qi said: "I want to lie to him again and rob him of all his money." ”

Zhong Xuanli pursed his lips and shook his head disapprovingly, didn't he rob it once last time? Didn't he finish grabbing it last time, he thought it was impossible, Zhong You's goods would definitely not leave anything for Huo Shangyu.

Xiao Qidao: "Why don't you let him be chased all the way back to Nanliang like last time?" ”

Zhong Xuanli touched his chin, thought about it, nodded with a smile, and shook his head again.

This can be had, but it's still a little less.

Xiao Qi frowned, thinking about what Zhong Xuanli meant, and said after a while, "Young Master, what do you want?" ”

Zhong Xuanli threw the melon seed shell to the ground, grabbed another handful of melon seeds and continued to swallow them, and only after eating the melon seeds did he say, "I think so!" ”

Zhong Xuanli stopped halfway through speaking, wanting to continue eating melon seeds.

Xiao Qi stretched his neck, approached Zhong Xuanli, waited for his answer, and saw his movements, so he moved the plate to the side, not letting him continue to grab the melon seeds: "Young master, you hurry up, time waits for no one." ”

Zhong Xuanli pouted: "You go and tell him that I am going to let Zhong You come and visit his courtyard again the night after tomorrow, and follow Zhong You and them away." ”

Xiao Qi shook his head disapprovingly, wasn't this exposed in advance?

Zhong Xuan left and said, "You go quickly, and then you take me away tomorrow night." ”

Xiao Qi shook his head, this place is heavily guarded, he doesn't have the ability to take this person away, if something goes wrong, his life is not enough to compensate, Zhong You will definitely skin him alive.

Zhong Xuanli patted Xiao Qi's shoulder: "Don't worry, Young Master Ben's martial arts are also easy to use." ”

Xiao Qi's head fell straight down, young master, don't blow it, if you are good at martial arts, how can you stay here for so long, not to mention that when you were still in Kyoto City that day, Zhong Fu couldn't trap you in it for two or three months!

Zhong Xuanli saw that Xiao Qi didn't believe him, and there was still a hint of contempt in his eyes, and he said unhappily: "Stingy, Young Master Ben will prove it to you, hum, do you think Young Master Ben can't leave, that Young Master Ben is unwilling to leave, and he wants to be a spy for Zhong You to stay, otherwise, Young Master Ben will leave early." ”

Xiao Qi pouted as Zhong Xuanli pouted, and said suspiciously: "Really? ”

Young master, there is a price to pay for bragging, don't lie to your subordinates, your subordinates are timid.

No, he has to find a way to inform Zhong You, in case the young master really acts, it will be difficult to do.

Zhong Xuanli patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and assured, "Really, it's more true than pearls." ”

Xiao Qi already had an idea in his heart, and said inconspicuously: "Okay, my subordinates will go down and figure out the route, and we will leave tomorrow night." ”

Zhong Xuanli nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi felt that he had nothing to talk about with Zhong Xuanli, so he left in a flash.

What they didn't know was that there was another person outside the courtyard staring, and it didn't take long for their every move in the house to be reported to Huo Shangyu.

Huo Shangyu decided to stay put, waiting for Zhong Xuanli and Xiao Qi's actions, and also decided to fight back.

It turned out that this afternoon, he received a secret letter, this letter is very special, it was brought through the dart game cooperated by Zhong Xuanlan.

In the letter, Prince Mobei informed him that Zhong Xuanlan arranged for someone to pretend to be a bandit to rob his goods, and also robbed and killed the person sent to deliver the letter, so that the secret letter had not yet arrived, so he must be cautious.

It's a pity that this letter is a little late, and he has already lost a lot, but now that Zhong Xuanli is still in his hands, he can still recover his losses.

The two sides were calculating each other, and they didn't know who could make a better move, but what Huo Shangyu didn't know was that Zhong Xuanlan had already joined forces with the Zeng family to do things in the Southern Liang Imperial City, and he also sent people to keep an eye on his small courtyard, so that he would receive the news later.

Here, Zhong Xuanlan looked at the income of the last month, with a smile on his face, yes, these are enough to make up for the loss of her sleepy period.

Wang Xuannian poured Zhong Xuanlan a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Lan'er, what's going on?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan put down the account book, took the tea, took a sip, and replied: "I have made a lot of money this month. ”

Wang Xuannian was a little puzzled, hasn't the Zhong family been shrinking in the past month, how can this be used to make money.

"Lan'er, does the firm really make money?"

Zhong Xuanlan nodded.

Wang Xuannian hesitated for a moment and asked, "The Zhong family is shrinking, where can they make money?" ”

"Uh," Zhong Xuanlan paused, she was so happy and stupid, she actually forgot about it, could it be that the sentence of being stupid for three years of pregnancy was going to be confirmed to her?

No, Zhong Xuanlan shook his head, he never believed that this matter would be confirmed to her, but she trusted Wang Xuannian too much and forgot the origin of this silver coin for a while.

Yes, that's it!

Zhong Xuanlan said with a haha: "Isn't it like it's been shrinking, but now that it's making money, can I be unhappy!" ”

Wang Xuannian asked, "Is this really the case?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan hurriedly nodded: "Husband, you don't believe me?" ”

Wang Xuannian saw that Zhong Xuanlan was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Believe, whatever Lan'er says, I believe it." ”

"That's good!"
