Directly north of Fenzhou City, there is a mansion compound located here, covering an extremely wide area and deep courtyard. In the previous dynasty, it was built by the emperor Youxing, and then it was transferred to the Fenzhou festival to make it a house, and then the dynasty changed hands several times, from the official to the private, and more to see Tuoda.

Now this mansion is the family property of the Qiao family in Fenzhou.

Qiao's contemporary head of the family, the old lady Qiao Yongqian, was leaning on the soft collapse of the study at this time and closed her eyes to recuperate, a beautiful maid knelt under the collapse and knocked her legs, while the other was half-sitting on the edge of the collapse, with her legs as a pillow, and her hands helped the old man to touch her temples, and the weight was just right. What's even more surprising is that the two maids with very outstanding postures are not only a pair of pairs of people with nine points of similar appearance, but also their clothes are open at this time, and the snow-white skin is dazzling and dazzling in the candlelight, and the smell of incense is overflowing, which is even more charming.

Qiao Yongqian, the old lady of the Qiao family, is over eighty years old this year, although he is over the age and has long been weak, but he loves the snow-white chest muscles of the girl, and the twin sisters in front of him are the most proud collection of the old lady.

There was a slight knock on the door, and a middle-aged man slowly pushed the door in, and walked to the front of the collapse, his face was indifferent, ignoring the gorgeous scenery in front of him, and bowed down and whispered: "Old lady." ”

Old Lady Qiao didn't move, and only replied with a "um" word.

The man hesitated for a moment and continued, "It is reported that King Yan is in Fenzhou City at this time. ”

Old Lady Qiao opened her eyes suddenly when she heard this, stared straight at the man, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Really?" ”

"It should be true, our people heard Zhang Shiru kneeling and shouting His Royal Highness, and recognized that the person who guarded it was Yuan Gong of the Xuansoap Army."

The old lady couldn't lie down when she heard this, sat up with the support of the maidservant, frowned and asked, "Tell me." ”

The man 1510 told what happened at the gate of the county ya, from the Xuansoap Army crushing the man in black to Zhang Shiru bowing to His Royal Highness the prince, everything was explained one by one.

The old lady's brows became tighter and tighter, and the two maidservants stood aside with their hands down, not tidying up their clothes, not caring at all about the presence of others.

The man lowered his head and smoothed his eyebrows, his face was as usual, just waiting for the old lady to show him.

The old lady paced for a long time, finally stopped, stretched out his hand to smoke on the carved gold incense burner, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The man seemed to be very respected by the old lady Qiao, and he did not hesitate at all when he heard the words: "Back to the old lady, the student thought that the prince of Yan Wang appeared in Fenzhou, which should have been an opportunity for my Qiao family, if His Royal Highness the prince was entertained well, it would be very beneficial to open up the political channels in Youzhou, but this time the prince suddenly visited, and I don't know why, and I happened to witness the fact that Lord Hu of Zhizhou deducted the pension, and even fought with Geng Long, I am afraid that if I come forward at this time, I am afraid that I will leave a bad impression, and the Qiao family should withdraw from the matter, but I don't know, Continue to take the road of Youzhou Political Division. ”

The man glanced up at the old lady, paused slightly, and continued: "The young master Qisheng here of the Youzhou Political Secretary has been dredged for a long time, and now it is beginning to bear fruit. ”

The old lady was noncommittal, just looked at the incense lingering in a daze, and said slowly: "This is wrong, the Qiao family on the side of the political secretary has spent a lot of thought and spent a lot of silver taels, but every time it is a hot face touching a cold buttocks, the military and political Yan King of Youzhou is determined, and the upper and lower officials are ironclad, and it is very difficult to go." It's also strange that the old man was only optimistic about King Qin's rebellion against the northern barbarians and went south, and he didn't pay attention to Youzhou, but now he has lost the opportunity, and the old man's vision is short. If the severed limb continues, it must be urged with fierce medicine, and we cannot look forward and backward and miss the opportunity. ”

"As for what will happen to this son, what does it matter to me? It's just a pedal, what my Qiao family lacks now is not the business in Youzhou, and now the chaos is gradually rising, it's hard to say whether the person in the capital can sit still or not, my Qiao family is heavy on the three parties, and it is not bad for this illegitimate child. Besides, since Lu Yuan established him, there will definitely be his truth, the troubled times in the world are my prosperous times, and time is not waiting for me. ”

When the man heard this, he said that more than 20 years of Qiao Mansion staff career had made him see a lot of the foresight of Old Lady Qiao, and he also knew that this dynasty Jin merchant held the crown with the courage and ambition of swallowing elephants with snakes. In the early years, the Qiao family in Taiyuan Mansion was still a very small business, although the food and clothing can be said to be worry-free, but the prospect is bleak, until Qiao Yongqian was thirty years old as a concubine in charge of the Qiao family, first desperately poured all the family property to hoard sandalwood to dig the first pot of gold, and then went to Liaodong alone to monopolize the local medicinal materials business for five years, and then through the dynasty to support the private merchants to open a silver number, Yonghui in the early years of Pengyue's rebellion, Qindi rice prices rose sharply, Qingzhou Huitong Canal digging and other thousand years of good opportunities, spread good fate, make friends with political elites. Old lady Qiao has been working hard every step of the way, walking on the cliff for more than 40 years, and one wrong step is the abyss, and finally brought the Qiao family to the most top-notch position among the super-rich businessmen in the dynasty.

Now, although the eighty-year-old ancestor of Qiaofu has handed over many of the Qiao family's businesses to the descendants of the family, he still controls the Qiao family's profits, the most influential, and the most widely implicated.

The fine sandalwood mist coiled around the old man's fingertips, as if he was holding the blade of authority in his hand, and the old lady continued: "Does Wei'er know about this? ”

When the man heard this, he was a little weak-hearted, and said, "I don't know yet, but I will come to tell the old lady when I get the next news." ”

Old Lady Qiao frowned when she heard this, and said sharply: "Mistake! You can go to Fengyi Tower, if Lu Rong has arrived, then take the opportunity to act, as for Hu Deshao, if you can protect it, it doesn't hurt if you can't abandon it! ”

The man replied and was about to turn around and go out, but he heard the old lady behind him say again: "Tell Wei'er that Princess Yan is better than the daughter-in-law of the Huo family." ”

While Lu Rong pushed open the door of Fengyi Tower, he sneezed heavily.

Reaching out and blowing his nose, Lu Rong patted Zhang Shiru on the shoulder and carefully wiped the residue on his hand.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was very busy, and when he heard the sound of pushing the door, he looked up and saw that it was Zhang Shiru, who was powerful in Fenzhou City, and hurriedly turned out of the counter, bowed down and said hello: "Ouch, Lord Zhang, are you okay?" ”

Where did Zhang Shiru dare to answer without permission, without saying a word, Lu Rong stepped forward and said with a faint smile: "Okay." ”

The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at Lu Rong without a trace, and found that his eyes were very raw, but his years of experience in business had already made him learn to watch people put down dishes, so he hurriedly turned sideways to meet Lu Rong and said, "This son, Lord Zhang, let's go to the second floor to sit at the table?" ”

Lu Rong looked around and said with a smile: "What about the third floor?" ”

"Ouch, I'm so sorry Childe, the third floor is full." The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Shiru with his side eyes, wanting to see the eyes of this Tongzhi Lord and measure what level of immortal it was, but he saw a few more people coming in at the door of the restaurant, and it was a few soldiers of the Xuansoap Army escorting the big man.

The big man was already a little decadent because of excessive blood loss, and he couldn't see the blood stains in a black power suit, but the strong smell of blood came to his nose, which was even more abrupt and clear in this restaurant full of fragrant food. Behind him, there was a stout and fierce warrior who grabbed the big man's hair, pulled it hard, and scolded angrily: "Stand up straight!" ”

"Geng Long? Lord Zhang, is this going on? The shopkeeper swallowed and foamed, and his voice became more humble.

"You know him?" Lu Rong looked back and asked.

The shopkeeper nodded straightly, Geng Long is a big man who fought to the death with Lu Rong, this person has a name in the underworld and white road in Fenzhou, how can the shopkeeper of Fengyi Building not recognize it.

Zhang Shiru watched his nose and nose on the side, and did not reveal any expression to the shopkeeper, along the way, he wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by Lu Rong's "I will talk about it when I arrive".

"And do you think he deserves to die?" Lu Rong smiled.

Where did the shopkeeper dare to speak casually, only repeating "Childe said he laughed" in his mouth.

Lu Rong stopped going around in circles and asked with a smile: "Lord Zhizhou Hu is on the third floor?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded busily, and said, "Here, Gongzi Rongxiao's communication?" ”

Lu Rong didn't answer, with a slightly playful smile, he looked back at Zhang Shiru, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Zhang Shiru froze his eyebrows, snorted at the shopkeeper, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”
