After being rejected by Zhao Xiaoxi, who had an excellent posture and sincere words, the fat official really couldn't cool his face. He struggled for a long time before he went out with a group of people, and when he left, he also told Zhao Xiaoxi to take the initiative to visit.

What is rare is that these people obviously came for Xu Linhuan's disappearance, but they didn't mention it when they came, which shows that this time they went to the ready-to-wear store to "understand Xu Linhuan's disappearance", which is a real pretense.

As soon as they left, Zhao Xiaoxi hurriedly summed up with Granny Bai and Xiao Jingrui: "I have to hurry up to meet Prime Minister Le." ”

"At this moment, you can't go." Granny Bai shook her head, and her tone was solemn: "Shen Chaoge is scheming, maybe he has already sent someone to watch us in secret." If you go now, there must be big trouble. ”

What's that going on? Zhao Xiaoxi's heart was in turmoil, and he sighed: "I haven't heard of the two prime ministers in the DPRK before, but it's good now, no matter what you do, you can't be alone." Granny Bai, is there any holiday between these two people? Just like An Lingzi and the eldest lady of the Wu family in the past, they don't get along with each other when they die old? ”

"Almost." Granny Bai nodded, knowing everything and saying everything: "They are competing not only for business, but also for power. A few years ago, Shen Chaoge was racing horses in the wild, fell from the back of the horse, and broke his hip bone, so that he became a cripple. With such a damaged body, he can still be on an equal footing with Le Beiqi in the court, and this person's ability cannot be underestimated. ”

Since he became a cripple, Shen Chaoge has been in the mansion for 365 days a year, basically for 300 days. How can a big official who can endure loneliness, darkness and a city government be an ordinary person? The more Zhao Xiaoxi thought about it, the more scared he became, and he almost trembled.

"So what should I do? If I hadn't communicated with Le Beiqi in advance, he would definitely think that I would have cooperated with Shen Chaoge for the sake of silver. At the end of the day, don't they both have to deal with me? Hey, what I'm doing is a small business, where can I stand the tribulation of these two big guys? ”

"It's not that bad." Granny Bai was extremely confident, no matter what happened, she felt that it didn't matter and could be solved: "Instead of going to Le Beiqi, it is better to find Gu Xiangting to discuss." ”

What's that? Gu Xiangting? It's okay for that person to eat black and eat black, but if he is allowed to deal with the senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee, I am afraid that he will be powerless. Zhao Xiaoxi smiled helplessly: "Gu Daguan may still have a bit of status in the rivers and lakes, but once it involves the imperial court, I'm afraid that he is also powerless, right?" ”

"The Gu family and the Le family are friends in the world." Granny Bai pointed out a clear path for Zhao Xiaoxi, poured a bowl of tea, and smacked twice: "It's not good for you to come forward to explain to Le Beiqi, but Gu Xiangting can." As long as you let the right minister know that you were forced to negotiate with the left minister, he will not blame you. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly realized.

But...... When did Granny Bai know everything about this? Zhao Xiaoxi always thought that Granny Bai was just a little familiar with some things in the capital, but who knows, she knows all the ways of the three religions and nine streams.

is really a capable person, Zhao Xiaoxi is completely convinced at this time.

The three of them had lunch together, and Xiao Jingrui and Zhao Xiaoxi went to the rookie post station to find Gu Xiangting together.

He was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and when he saw Zhao Xiaoxi, he was quite surprised. Although he has several ears to report to God, he has been wandering around the northwest during this time, and he will only be in the capital in the next two days.

"Why is Little Lady Zhao so free?"

"In the past two days, those rumors in the capital have been flying all over the sky, haven't the officials Gu heard about it?" Zhao Xiaoxi didn't believe in this evil, spread his hands, and shrugged: "Someone wants to pour dirty water on us." ”

"The Xu family?" Gu Xiangting laughed in a low voice, half contemptuous and half disdainful: "This kind of trick, few people will believe it." Granny Bai is a smart person, she has always known what to do and what not to do, kidnapping Xu Linhuan? It's a shame that they can say it. ”

Look, this is called wisdom, this is called brain. Zhao Xiaoxi arched his hand at Gu Xiangting, admiring it very much: "If everyone understands things like Gu Daguan, I won't be annoyed." ”

"Xu Zhi has indeed had a lot of forces behind him, what's the matter? Got you in trouble? ”

"It's not Xu Zhiji, it's Shen Chaoge, the left minister." Zhao Xiaoxi lowered his voice, and just wanted to tell Gu Xiangting about the ditches and ditches here, but he was quickly pulled to the back room by the man.

"Little lady Zhao, this is in the capital, and you have to beware of the wall at all times." Gu Xiangting glanced at the people on the side.

This person should be Gu Xiangting's cronies, and the tacit understanding between the two is as high as 90%. Gu Xiangting gave him a look, and that person knew what to do. first made a pot of tea for Zhao Xiaoxi and them, and then hurried out of the house and brought them the door by the way.

"Yes, yes, it's my negligence, it's my negligence." Boss Zhao Xiaoxi was embarrassed and touched his nose: "I'm also in a hurry, you say, I've already made a deal with the right minister, how can I still talk about business with the left minister?" But if I go to Yuefu at this time, it will be really risky. I thought about it, Gu Daguan and Youxiang are old acquaintances, if they can help me convey this, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. ”

Li'er is this Li'er, but this matter is too tricky, and it is really difficult to handle. Gu Xiangting has his own thoughts, his identity is very secret, and he can't let others know about it.

If he was exposed to Shen Chaoge's nose, he was afraid that no matter what he did in the future, it would be very difficult. Everything is for the long term, Gu Xiangting thought about it carefully: "Little lady Zhao means that Shen Chaoge also came to you to talk about business?" ”

"Yes, it was through a chubby Jingguan'er. Originally, I was going to see him today, but I was afraid that the right minister would misunderstand, so I excused myself. But no matter what, in the past two days, I will definitely visit Zuo Xiang in person. ”

"That chubby Jingguan'er is Shen Chaoge's lackey, surnamed Bai, called Baishuang."

Hoarfrost? It's such a strange name, and Zhao Xiaoxi's focus was easily diverted. Before she could ask, Gu Xiangting continued: "Don't worry, little lady Zhao, you just have to go to the Shen Mansion in the past two days." As for the Lejia side, I can explain it to you. ”

"Thank you, thank you." Zhao Xiaoxi was really grateful, and arched his hand at Gu Xiangting: "Seeing that the rookie post station is so well taken care of by Gu Daguan, I am very grateful." Now it's time for Gu Daguan to bother dredged up, and when this matter is over, I will invite you to have a drink. ”

"No need." Gu Xiangting shook his head, after seeing Xiao Jingrui's eyes that wanted to kill, where did he dare to let Zhao Xiaoxi invite him to drink? Speaking of which, doing business with Zhao Xiaoxi is indeed a huge benefit.

Now that Shen Chaoge, the old fox, also wants a piece of the pie, even if Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't tell him about it, Gu Xiangting won't let the situation develop.

It was still very early when he left the rookie station, Zhao Xiaoxi and Xiao Jingrui walked together in Xianlin Lane, which is a famous snack street, and there are Qixi balls sold on it. This thing tastes weird, and not many people like it. But Granny Bai likes to eat it the most, sometimes as a side dish, sometimes as a small snack.

These days, Granny Bai has been splashed with dirty water, suffering and suffering, and Zhao Xiaoxi has been unhappy in his heart. Thinking in my heart, I could make up for some of them, so I took a long detour and specially bought Qixi balls.

When he went back, Zhao Xiaoxi talked to Xiao Jingrui about what had happened in the past few days, and a trace of joy appeared on his face: "Although it is really annoying to be targeted by them, does this also mean that our business has indeed done quite well?" Even the left and right phases are looking for us to cooperate! ”

Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi so optimistic, Xiao Jingrui smiled in a low voice: "It's good that the lady can think like this, speaking of which, although Xu Zhiji is not very powerful among the people we work with, he knows a lot of people, and what he wants to do to us is too simple." ”

It's a shiver to think about.

But Zhao Xiaoxi didn't seem to be afraid, and he looked like "the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth": "You said that they actually wanted to attack Granny Bai this time, did they go astray?" Thinking crooked? ”

"After all, Granny Bai did have a conflict with Xu Linhuan this time, and besides, Granny Bai is doing things for us in their eyes. No matter what Granny Bai did, we can't get rid of it. ”

This seems to be a method of fighting cattle across the mountains? For a while, Zhao Xiaoxi actually had a feeling of fighting in the ring with others.

On the third day, Zhao Xiaoxi prepared a decent thing and went to see Shen Chaoge.

is different from what he imagined, this Shen Xiangguo's mansion is very simple and low-key, and it looks not much different from the Xu family.

But nine times out of ten, this person is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, in order to make the big guy feel that he is incorruptible or something, he makes this kind of style to show others. Maybe there are several very luxurious villas in the capital, Zhao Xiaoxi and Xiao Jingrui followed the old housekeeper behind the road, and wore flowers and willows all the way into the study.

This study room is quite stylish, there are at least thousands of ancient books in it, as well as calligraphy and paintings, potted plants, and several bottles and cans that look more expensive. Zhao Xiaoxi only glanced at it, and then didn't look at it anymore.

After waiting for a stick of incense, I heard a gurgling sound, and when I looked out, a man sitting in a wooden chair was pushed into the door.

The chair he sits in is similar to that of a wheelchair in the 21st century, but all of it is made of wood. It's probably been used for a long time, and the piece of wood on the handle already has a layer of glaze.

The person sitting above looked like he was only in his early forties, very well maintained, and his eyes were like eagle falcons, scorching and shining, staring straight at Zhao Xiaoxi. That square face has a blue-gray color that is different from ordinary people.

This person doesn't look like a character from a rich family at all, and he doesn't have any blessings at all.
