After Steward Xun sent Qi Plateau away, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with this matter, so he quietly went out from Wan Shengxing's back door and secretly entered the Xiao Mansion.

After seeing Xiao Jingyuan, Steward Xun said quite uneasily: "Childe, I think the surname Qi seems to be a little ...... I kind of realized what we were going to do. ”

Xiao Jingyuan didn't say anything. Steward Xun whispered with some concern: "Actually, Gongzi might as well see him." Now that the silk market is coming, if he becomes suspicious, it will inevitably affect our affairs. If Gongzi sees him in person, reassures him, and asks him to run the silk market with peace of mind, it is not impossible. ”

Xiao Jingyuan said very indifferently: "Gu Xuesong is already on the Chaqi Plateau, if I see the Qi Plateau now, it is inevitable that Gu Xuesong will not know, won't even I be dragged into the water at that time?" At such a time, it is better to be able to see it without seeing it. ”

Steward Xun hurriedly said, "Childe is reasonable. ”

Xiao Jingyuan asked again: "By the way, didn't you say before that Qi Gaoyuan and Jing Qi met a few times?" How's it going now? ”

Steward Xun replied respectfully: "Since I warned Qi Gaoyuan, Qi Gaoyuan will never go to Wanyanfang again. In fact, the few times Qi Gaoyuan and Jing Qi met in Wanyanfang before, except for the first conversation, they just nodded and said hello at other times, and they were not plotting anything. ”

"You think I shouldn't be so careful?" Xiao Jingyuan said disdainfully: "As the saying goes, prevention is better than prevention. Even if they weren't plotting anything, they couldn't be allowed to meet again. If they don't hit them with heavy sticks as soon as possible, even if they don't have different intentions now, there is no guarantee that they won't have them in the future. ”

Steward Xun was obviously accustomed to Xiao Jingyuan's thunderous methods, so he just nodded a few times and didn't dare to raise any objections.

Xiao Jingyuan instructed: "In short, you still have to pay close attention to Qi Plateau, the silk weaving market is about to come now, and you must not let Qi Plateau do bad things at this time." Since you say that he may be aware of our plans, you should pay close attention to him, and if he has that kind of thought, you should deal with it as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Jingyuan took a long breath and said, "At the moment, nothing is as important as the silk market. When the silk market is over, I don't have to bother to hide from Qi Plateau anymore. ”

After Steward Xun received the order to go out, Xiao Jingyuan continued to sit in the room, and a man came out from behind the screen.

Xiao Jingyuan looked at the man and asked, "You finally returned to Meigong County, aren't you in a hurry to go home to see your family?" Isn't your wife about to give birth? ”

The man didn't think about it and said, "It's okay, let's finish the affairs of Childe's side first." ”

Xiao Jingyuan laughed and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you go back now, the surname Ning sued you to the government, cough There have been many cases in the government recently, and I don't have time to care about your little matter at all, so there has been no ruling." When you go back now, you can try to settle privately with the surnamed Ning and let him withdraw the lawsuit, so that the case will not hang endlessly. ”

The man said respectfully: "The reason why I can be here today is because of Gongzi's righteous rescue, and the matter of the lawsuit can only trouble Gongzi to worry about me." In the future, I will do my best to saddle the horse for my son and help him achieve great things. ”

Xiao Jingyuan showed a pleased smile and said, "You and I have achieved each other, and there is no need to say thank you." ”

Qi Gaoyuan staggered out of Wanshengxing, stared at Wanshengxing's plaque for a while, his expression was quite complicated, and he got into the carriage with the support of his subordinates.

The coachman asked him, "Sir, where are we going?" Go home? ”

Qi Gaoyuan said "um", and the carriage ran with a grunt, but not long after walking out, Qi Gaoyuan's tired voice came from the carriage: "It's better to ...... Let's go to the Chamber of Commerce again......"

The silk weaving market is tomorrow, and Qi Plateau has some last things to confirm.

Qi Gaoyuan didn't know that the reason why the surnamed Ning came over and said that kind of thing to himself was nothing more than to sow discord! But what can sow discord is not necessarily a lie......

Xiao Jingyuan has obviously returned, but why can't he see Qi Plateau? Qi Gaoyuan didn't dare to think deeply.

Or, in case, if it is really as the surnamed Ning said, the Xiao family has given up on Qi Plateau, who can Qi Plateau rely on? With such a big Meigong County, who can accommodate the Qi Plateau?

If it really comes to that time, I am afraid that there will be no more useless and helpless people in this world.

Silk Bazaar...... The only thing Qi Gaoyuan can do now is to ensure that the silk weaving market can be completed smoothly. In case, if Xiao Jingyuan hasn't given up on him, he will be able to regain Xiao Jingyuan's weight with this silk weaving market.

Jiucheng Lane is a well-known street in Liu'an County, and the Horse Chamber of Commerce is also located near Jiucheng Lane.

This colleague said a few words to Qi Gaoyuan, and these few words actually revealed information that made Qi Gaoyuan's face pale! Qi Gaoyuan was so frightened that he was in a mess for a while, and he didn't even go to the Chamber of Commerce, so he asked the coachman to pull him to Fuqiao Street immediately.

It was almost at the gate of Wanyanfang, and Qi Gaoyuan remembered that it was not dark at the moment, and it was not the time for Jing Qisu to come in the day. He was really upset, so he even forgot the time and ran directly to this side to find Jing Qi.

And this is Wan Yanfang, Qi Gaoyuan is looking for Jing Qi to talk about business, and talking about business in such fireworks seems like child's play.

It's all here, Qi Gaoyuan was not sober at the moment, he was stunned for a moment, but he still got out of the car and walked into Wanyanfang. Standing in the lobby of Wan Yanfang, I didn't know for a while whether I should wait here for Jing Qi to come, or whether I should go home first and come back later.

At this moment, Zhao Xiang'e happened to walk in from the east door of the lobby.

Zhao Xiang'e glanced at Qi Gaoyuan, and Qi Gaoyuan also glanced at Zhao Xiang'e.

Zhao Xiang'e nodded her head in greeting, and then walked through the lobby to the south, as if she was in a hurry. Qi Gaoyuan hurriedly walked towards Zhao Xiang'e, and stopped Zhao Xiang'e from behind: "Miss Zhao, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhao Xiang'e was stunned for a moment, and said: "Someone is waiting for me in the back room, it is a few horse merchants who came from other places to go to the silk weaving market, and Master Qi is still walking together, since this is the case, it is better for Master Qi to go over with me." ”

As soon as Qi Gaoyuan heard that there were several colleagues from other places in the backyard of Wan Yanfang, he couldn't help but jump his eyebrows, and then followed Zhao Xiang'e through the south gate of the lobby and walked to the backyard.

Zhao Xiang'e glanced at Qi Gaoyuan, Qi Gaoyuan's face was full of seriousness at the moment, and he seemed to be holding back a lot of words. Zhao Xiang'e lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "If Master Qi has Yaxing, why don't you go to Huanzhu Pavilion with me to take a look, the red chrysanthemums there are blooming just right." ”

Wanyanfang is one of the most gentle townships in Liu'an County, and countless literati and scholars often come here to be vassal. In order to satisfy the elegant tastes of those literati, the owner of Wan Yanfang bought a lot of land around it, and continued to expand Wan Yanfang, build pavilions and pavilions, and plant rare and exotic plants.

Money can make ghosts grind, and the owner of Wan Yanfang smashed a lot of silver, so that the back garden was not even inferior to the flower room of the flower master Liu Yiru. Throughout the year, there are flowers blooming here, which is breathtakingly beautiful, making this place like a fairyland on earth.

Wan Yanfang, Yan is not only a young and fresh beauty, but also these flowers that will never be absent.

Zhao Xiang'e took Qi Gaoyuan all the way to Huanzhu Pavilion and said, "What does Master Qi have to say to me?" ”

Huanzhu Pavilion here is stacked with green mountains, covering up and reflecting, the scenery that wants to talk about the rest is like the back garden of the official eunuch in the Fengyue script, and those guests who come here to meet their sister can also imagine that they are the amorous scholars favored by the eunuch in the script, so as to add more interest.

Qi Gaoyuan made a few rough inquiries, and learned that Jing Qi was already in Wanyanfang, and Zhao Xiang'e was just about to go over to Jing Qi's side, according to Zhao Xiang'e, Jing Qi was now drinking with several other horse dealers. As soon as Qi Gaoyuan heard that Jing Qi was drinking with a few horse merchants, his face was even more heavy.

According to Zhao Xiang'e, Jing Qi often soaked in Wanyanfang in the past few days, and he soaked all day, always with several horse dealers, as if he was talking about some business with those merchants. When Jing Qi and them talked about business, they never let their sisters listen, and Jing Qi often sent them out for a short time.

Qi Gaoyuan couldn't help but be more determined in the guess in his heart. Jing Qi is really looking for a way out!

Jing Qi had already negotiated a good deal with Qi Gaoyuan, and Jing Qi knew that although Qi Gaoyuan was the buyer on the surface, it was actually the Xiao family who was secretly manipulating the matter, but Jing Qi still had this kind of thought, could it be ...... Could it be that Jing Qi also sensed that Xiao was unreliable, so he was looking for a way out?!

The piles and piles are all confirming the worst kind of speculation in Qi Gaoyuan's heart!

But...... Qi Gaoyuan thought about it, in order to support himself to sit in the position of the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, the Xiao family also spent a lot of thought, and he did a lot of things for the Xiao family, if he fell, the Xiao family would lose the actual right to take charge of the business house in Meigong County, so ...... Therefore, it is impossible for Xiao Shi to give up on himself easily!

Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that the current silk market, if there is no Qi Plateau, the Xiao family will not be able to do things. Just for this silk market, Xiao will definitely protect him! Qi Gaoyuan wiped his face and hurriedly warned himself that the surnamed Ning wanted to sow discord, and he couldn't fall for the trick of the surnamed Ning!

At this moment, a few coquettish laughter suddenly came from behind the stacked greens-

"Alas, tell me, the one surnamed Qi is also old, why is he still so naïve?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you know? Even the guy surnamed Jing is planning to withdraw, and now he is busy throwing away the goods, and he plans to take the money and slip away. But the one surnamed Qi still believes in the boss, and does things for the boss wholeheartedly, thinking that the boss will definitely pull him, but he doesn't know that the boss is ready to sell him a long time ago! ”

"The boss is going to sell him? You tell me in detail. ”

"Do you know that the city boss is checking the surname Qi?"

"Yes! It's not a secret, everyone knows it. ”

"I picked up a guest a few days ago, and the guest has a distant relative who works in the city, I heard that someone greeted the city and asked the city to wait until the silk market to clean up the surname Qi!"

"What? How ruthless is it? Use that surname Qi to do things, but plan to sell him afterwards? Oh, that's a tragedy...... Alas, I have a little sympathy for the ...... surnamed Qi."

"What does he have to sympathize with? Isn't he stupid? He believed it when he was bluffed by the top, and when he was old and didn't have a long heart at all, he knew that he was loyal to his boss as a dog, but he didn't know that the boss was going to slaughter him and eat meat! ”

"Alas......" did not go on again, but this sigh was full of regret and sympathy.

Zhao Xiang'e frowned, coughed slightly, and a frightened voice came from there-

"Who's there?"

"It's still early, and there are few guests coming, how can anyone ......?"

"Don't say it, let's go, let's go......"

Zhao Xiang'e glanced at Qi Gaoyuan, Qi Gaoyuan's face was already pale, his eyes were blank, and he seemed to have lost all hope. Zhao Xiang'e said casually: "Master Qi, if you have finished asking, I will go to the wing room to serve the guests, or, if Master Qi doesn't mind, you can also come with me." ”

Qi Gaoyuan looked at Zhao Xiang'e, nodded in a trance, and suddenly said in surprise: "No, no...... I...... Can you help me get Jing Qi out, I want to talk to him alone. And stuffed Zhao Xiang'e with an ingot.

Zhao Xiang'e checked the ingots in her hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to earn Master Qi's silver." Master Jing is drinking with someone, maybe he is already drunk and unconscious, how can I call him out? Zhao Xiang'e said as Yin Yin looked at Qi Gaoyuan.

Qi Gaoyuan reacted, took out two ingots and stuffed them to Zhao Xiang'e, and said in a good voice: "Miss Zhao has great ability, she will definitely be able to ...... I'm sure I'll be able to meet the one on my own! ”

Zhao Xiang'e smiled and put away the three ingots.

After a while, under Zhao Xiang'e's arrangement, Qi Gaoyuan and Jing Qi met alone in a side room. Zhao Xiang'e walked out of the chamber, closed the door for Qi Gaoyuan and Jing Qi, and then turned around and left as if nothing had happened, but showed a smile.

The man hid well, hidden on the side of the house, no one would have seen it, but unfortunately the corner of the man's turban was hooked by a branch, which allowed Zhao Xiang'e to find the trace.

Speaking of which, that person has often come to Wanyanfang recently, and every time he comes almost at the same time as Qi Gaoyuan. The more Zhao Xiang'e thought about it, the deeper the smile on her face.

People who don't believe in each other will only be dog-eat-dog.

That night, Steward Xun received the news and learned that Qi Gaoyuan went to find Jing Qi, and he also talked about it alone. Prior to this, Steward Xun had already received news that Qi Gaoyuan suddenly ordered someone to temporarily detain the materials imported from Jingqi, and did not distribute them to those retail merchants who had already ordered goods from Qi Gaoyuan.

Steward Xun's face sank deeper than the night outside.
