Sheng Lingyun was not as anxious as Xu Yunxi, straightened his clothes and sat down indifferently, "I can only say that the time has not come, wait patiently." ”

"I don't know how Ziyan and they are doing?" Xu Yunxi sat down and said again.

"Who are you worried about?" Sheng Lingyun asked meaningfully, and didn't look at him, just at the boatmen who gathered together to drink and play.

Xu Yunxi was dumbfounded, he naturally cared about everyone.

Qiao Yiling and the three of them returned to Yanyu Villa all the way and reported all the situation to Nie Changnan, Nie Changnan originally wanted Yan Lan to go undercover, and his views were the same as Yan Lan's.

So Xiao Ziyan worked with Yan Lan to help him contact the three jade villages he had acquired, and implement the plan of the Flame Returning Knife in advance.

It has been more than a month since the Heroes Conference, under the leadership of Nie Changnan, Yanyu Villa is thriving, and has been recognized by Jiang Xiaotian and several elders, and the various sects have received a lot of patronage, and there are no complaints, so Nie Changnan easily passed the test conditions for the position of the owner of the village, Jiang Xiaotian then retreated to Jiang Mansion with confidence, no longer asked about the affairs of the villa, and only secretly investigated the Golden Lotus Sect.

A day after Qiao Yiling came back, he made a few plates of snacks and went to visit Jiang Xiaotian.

Jiangfu is an old Yun mansion purchased by Jiang Xiaotian in the early years, in the suburbs of Fenglai City, it is somewhat similar to Zhoumen, but because there are fireworks here, it is classical and elegant, not dead and cold.

The servant invited Qiao Yiling into the door, and Jiang Xiaotian was tending to the flowers and plants in the garden, "Mr. Jiang, the junior Qiao Yiling has come to disturb you." Qiao Yiling walked towards Jiang Xiaotian with a snack.

Jiang Xiaotian saw that her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was smiling, very much like her own daughter, and liked her in her heart, "Come, Yiling, this journey is okay, have you been injured." ”

Jiang Xiaotian led Qiao Yiling to sit in the small pavilion in the garden, and Qiao Yiling took out a snack for him to taste, "Well, my daughter also likes to eat this purple glutinous cake." ”

"Mr. Jiang, where are your wife and daughter?" Qiao Yiling saw that there was only one owner in the huge mansion, which could be described as lonely.

"In the countryside, it's too peaceful and quiet, not as disturbed and entangled here."

It turned out that Jiang Xiaotian had long seen through the rivers and lakes like the depths of the sea, because he was in the limelight when he was young, he offended a lot of people, he originally had a son and a daughter, but his son was unfortunately killed by gangsters when he was eight years old, this is his eternal regret, so after becoming the owner of the village, he sent his wife and daughter to a remote place to protect them, waiting for his abdication to go back to the family reunion and share the family.

Qiao Yiling was greatly touched after listening to his story, Jiang Xiaotian has never done anything evil in his life, he is humble and peaceful in dealing with people, and he is highly respected, but even if he is a hero, there will still be people who will not accept the stab in the back, who is going to reason with this, how sad it is to win the reputation but lose the flesh and blood of the dearest.

So my father suddenly retired when he was famous, and he had seen a lot of such things and wanted to protect his home.

"Which lady is Yiling, how can she be involved in the rivers and lakes?" Jiang Xiaotian saw that she was delicate, and there was a hint of playfulness in her demureness, this is a pampered daughter, there is no barbarism in the rivers and lakes, she must be from everyone's background.

"My father is Qiao Qianming, and I ran out of being naughty and playful." Qiao Yiling was ashamed when she said this, Jiang Xiaotian endured the painful separation in order to protect his wife and daughter, and his father also washed his hands and retired for the sake of the safety of the family, but she lived up to her father's good intentions, and she was involved in the storm, and she was really unfilial.

Jiang Xiaotian knew what she was thinking, stroked his beard and said with relief: "Well, indeed, you do have your father's heroic spirit in your eyebrows." But you don't have to be embarrassed, which young man doesn't have a bit of blood, the rivers and lakes are passed down from generation to generation, and it can't be a lifetime for me to wait for the old man to mix and mix, I can experience more when I am young, and I have no regrets when I am old, don't you say! ”

Qiao Yiling nodded, yes, she really didn't want to spend her life like this.

"Besides, in this world, men are in charge, taking the limelight, and now they can inject fresh blood into the rivers and lakes, and they are still heroines who do not lose to men, which is so gratifying, you can't let others look down on you." Jiang Xiaotian enlightened him like this, Qiao Yiling thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and the two chatted happily.

In the end, Qiao Yiling stayed here for a few days, Jiang Xiaotian was worried that there was no one to talk to, so he readily agreed, although Qiao Yiling had other purposes, she sincerely respected Jiang Xiaotian.

On the other side, Yan Lan and Xiao Ziyan have already united the three major jade villages, because the Flame Knife has limited manpower, so nominally they belong to the Flame Knife, but in fact they are still managed by themselves, but they need to supply the Flame Knife jade resources on time and ship them by the Flame Knife, which is the leeway that Yan Lan left for them and for himself, which is why he is so confident to leave the Flame Knife directly. Because since the flame knife has three special suppliers, it has begun to slack off on mining new jade, Yan Lan took the opportunity to remove Xu You's position, and now Xu You is living an addiction to being the head of the house, and he doesn't want to surrender his identity and return to his old business, but he doesn't know that this is the biggest life of the flame knife.

Now they only need Nie Changnan to arrange a business for them, and everything can go smoothly. However, before Nie Changnan could find a suitable merchant partner for them, an unknown huge list was passed to Xu You.

In order to establish a reputation in the flame knife as soon as possible, Xu You decided to take over the business, and it didn't take long to receive the full amount of silver, Xu You was flattered, and immediately passed the word that the three major jade villages would come up with the corresponding quality and quantity of supply before fifteen.

The three masters hurriedly sent someone to send a message to Yan Lan, everyone fell into silence, and they didn't even know the details of the object of buying jade, if they made a mistake rashly, no one could afford to have an accident, and they would smash the flame knife signboard, but if they missed this opportunity, then the flame knife would have confidence, and if they wanted to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle in the future, they were afraid that it would be even more difficult.

"Let's take a chance!" Yan Lan made a lot of determination, although the future was unknown, he vaguely felt that this matter was related to the silver-faced man, but it was not good to tell everyone.

"Good!" Nie Changnan breathed a sigh of relief, success or failure in this move, it depends on whether God blesses Yanyu or when it is a big difficulty.

So the three jade villages began to mine, and there were still five days before the delivery date, Xu You counted that the days were sufficient, and he enjoyed this wealth with Ling Su with peace of mind. The two also deliberately sent their disciples to Yanyu Villa to visit Yan Lan, pretending to inadvertently reveal this business, and specially selected some sour people to say, Yan Lan only smiled on his face, it didn't matter, but in fact, his heart was full of contempt, and he was happy to help him count the money when he died.

And so the plan unfolded.

On the last two days of delivery, a jade village was suddenly looted by robbers, another because the mine collapsed unexpectedly, goods and people were trapped inside, and their lives were still in danger, and the last mining qualification had problems and was ordered by the government to stop work, however, all this was not Yan Lan's original plan.

Their plan was indeed to rob the goods, but it was made by Yanyu Villa, so that the goods were in their hands, and they could fill the gap at that time, but now, everything was disrupted, and they began to be anxious in the face of sudden changes.

Of course, Xu You and Ling Su were more anxious than them, seeing that there were only two days to hand over the goods, and now the three of them had an accident, like a man-made and natural disaster, and they couldn't find a good reason to suspect it, and their eyebrows were swirling.

Xu You had no choice but to write to the buyer, but the buyer had no mercy and only replied that "if you don't deliver the goods on time, you can only sue the government." When the buyer paid the full amount before, it was clear that if the goods were not delivered on time, they would be compensated ten times the silver, where did the flame knife have so much savings, even if he lost money, if he sued the government, he would be revoked from doing business, wouldn't this end up with both people and money!

Xu You and Ling Su had no choice but to ask for help from Yanyu Villa with their faces in their faces, and the villa naturally wanted to be a good old man, scraping together less than one-tenth of the goods for them, and then wrote back that "love can't help". Xu You was so angry that he tore the letter to shreds, how could he only get this point with such a large source of goods and contacts in the villa, obviously he had the intention to see their jokes. When he joined the villa, he said well, blessings and hardships are shared, and now everyone is in the same boat, but they want to clean up, this must be Yan Lan's idea, but it is not easy to argue, otherwise the villa will take back the goods in anger and sit idly by when the buyer goes to court.

In the end, Xu You, with the contacts he had accumulated over the years and the inventory of the villa, only made up a small half, no way, everyone's business has been circulating, there is not much idle jade in his hand, and the main ones he buys are all high-quality goods, which is even more embarrassing. Xu You is so busy that he is not working, and the buyer will pick up the goods tomorrow, what should he do now?

At this time, Ling Su retreated from the crowd, leaned into Xu You's ear and whispered: "Master, for today's plan, we can only shoddy."

"What!"

"Let's find some ones with similar colors and put the good ones on them, even if he finds an expert to inspect them, he will only take one or two pieces at random, so many goods are difficult to inspect all of them, ordinary people can't see the good or bad with the naked eye." Ling Su was a thief, and he thought he had come up with a good plan.

Xu You rubbed his hands in distraught, and thought for a long time before squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, "That's it, hurry up, avoid ears and eyes, but don't leak the news." ”

So the flame knife was busy all night and finally made up the whole goods, the next day, the buyer came on time to pick up things, was a pot-bellied businessman, with an old gentleman, the old gentleman symbolically picked up two pieces of jade on the surface of the box to take a closer look, and then did not forget to praise two sentences, "This jade is round and moderate, fine and bright, it is a good thing!" ”

"That's good, Master Xu, you have to make sure that all the goods here are first-class, otherwise something goes wrong, and your ten heads are not enough to compensate." The merchant shrewdly scared Xu Youyou into saying a few words, testing whether he had done anything.

Xu You's palms were full of sweat, and he promised with a hard mouth, "Although there was an accident in my door two days ago, you can rest assured that we are using the good goods stored in the old to replenish it for you, only better, don't dare to deceive." ”

"So be it!" The merchant summoned his servants to pack the boxes and went all the way out of the city.

Xu You and Ling Su breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on their heads with their sleeves, and returned to the room to rest with their legs weak.

At this time, even Yan Lan and they couldn't sit still, I don't know what method Xu You used, they really got together so many goods, and Yanyu Villa barely got together half of them after vigorously collecting them, and gave one-tenth of the flame knife, which is already the limit, but it was actually resolved by Xu You, and there must be something greasy in it.

After waiting for two more days of news, there was still no movement, Xu You and Ling Su relaxed and gradually returned to their previous appearance. And Yan Lan and the others were unexpected, secretly hated that they were too late, and even hated Xu You and Ling Su for not being amazing, but hiding a thousand-year-old way.

However, things still took a turn for the better, on the day when Xu You and Ling Su held a celebration meeting, in the midst of the excitement, the government sent people to arrest the principals of the flame knife, including Xu You and Yan Lan, naturally because of the jade fraud case, and what is even more serious is that this batch of jade was actually supplied to the imperial court!
