"How is the Gu family now?" Qiao Yixi asked.

Xiao Wu said: "Miss Hui, the Gu family is now strictly forbidden, and everyone, from the master to the subordinates, is under house arrest. All the people of the government were guarding the door, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. ”

"House arrest?"

So serious?

If there is simply a problem with the goods, the entire Gu family will not be implicated, let alone the government.

Sure enough, the little guy continued: "Miss, the little one went directly to the Gu family when he arrived at Chaotianmen, because he couldn't enter the door, so the little one carefully inquired about the news." It is said that contraband was found in the transported goods. ”

"Contraband?" Mama Shen sneered, "The Gu family has been dominating Chaotianmen for decades, and the government has not checked the Gu family's ship for a long time, but it is tightly checked above, and it is polite to the Gu family to go through the motions at Chaotianmen Wharf." ”

"This time it's the prefect who is leading the team."

Mama Shen was even more disdainful, "He has received a lot of benefits from the Gu family over the years, and he is even more polite to the Gu family, this time someone supports him, and his waist is stiff!" ”

Qiao Yixi looked at the little girl.

"Miss, that's the case, a few days ago, the prefect got a notice from the above to strictly investigate the people and goods entering and leaving Shuzhou, saying that there are wanted criminals and contraband entering and leaving Shuzhou, the prefect took the officers and soldiers to go through a scene in Chaotianmen, and the wanted criminals were not caught, but contraband was found. As Mama Shen said, the prefect and the Gu family are good friends, so they didn't embarrass the Gu family, but only put all the people under house arrest in the courtyard, waiting for the people of the court to interrogate. ”

"People from the court?"

"Yes, miss, the imperial court sent Lord Qincha to interrogate, because the goods transported by the Gu family are all weapons."

"Weapons!" Qiao Lixi laughed angrily, "Is this slandering the Gu family to rebel?" ”

"Miss Hui, the little ones have all been inquired, and the formal interrogation has not yet begun, and the prefect put all the people under house arrest when he searched for weapons, and he has not had contact with the people of the Gu family, so he has not said a word of superfluity."

"He's smart." Qiao Yixi teased sarcastically, "Have you found out who is the consignee of those goods?" ”

"Miss Hui, no."

And so it was.

Qiao Lixi was not surprised at all.

If you really want to find out who consigned the goods, you won't let the Gu family take the blame.

But who exactly changed the goods?

The Gu family has been operating at Chaotianmen Wharf for decades, how could they make such a low-level mistake?

Each batch of goods will be inspected once when it is received, and it will be inspected once after boarding, at least two strict inspections, and no strange goods will be found.

Don't say that it is impossible to transport contraband blatantly, it is impossible to carry it in the goods, the only thing that can frame the Gu family is that the goods have been exchanged, it is an internal thief, and it is a betrayal of the inside and outside!

What is the purpose of the other party?

Replace the Gu family?

It is not without reliance that the Gu family can become the first tyrant in western Sichuan, and such a clumsy trick to frame the Gu family is inevitably too conceited.

It's strange that here, such a trick that can't be put on the table actually succeeds!

The government's temporary inspection time was just right, and the Gu family didn't even have time to react and deploy!

The Gu family's decades of heritage in Chaotianmen were so easily contained?

No, not easily.

Qiao Yixi frowned.

It seems like a clumsy trick, but every joint works together seamlessly.

Whether it is the connection of time or the card position in each link......

It can only be said that this is a design that has been painstakingly and laid out for a long time.

The more inconspicuous the trick, the more "accidents" can sometimes be created.

Although the prefect did not move the Gu family, the Lord Nachincha ......

Qiao Yixi asked, "Have all the people who stayed over there been arranged?" ”

She sent a few people to Chaotianmen to inquire about the news before, and in addition to the one who came back, there should be two or three people over there.

"Miss Hui, it's all arranged, because I don't know what movement will be, so now everyone is temporarily dormant and doesn't dare to make big moves. It's all the news we hear from the streets. ”

Qiao Yixi nodded.

At this time, what I am most afraid of is to startle the snake, since it is spread from the streets and alleys, it is known to everyone, whether it is true or not, in short, it is the other party's crime to make the Gu family sit on the ground.

It's easy to know the other person's intentions.

Qiao Lixi turned the teacup in her hand and thought: The most eye-catching thing about the Gu family is nothing more than the hegemony of Chaotianmen, which is really lying down and counting money.

Even before the end of the year, the rebuilt Shu Road was also opened, but in the end it was not as good as the waterway, for their own safety and convenience, the people of Shuzhou still like to take the waterway, so even if there is an official road, the Gu family has not made less money.

The imperial court couldn't find an excuse to grab the gate of heaven with the Gu family.

Although the Gu family is the first tyrant in western Sichuan, they are good citizens who keep to themselves, they should pay a lot of taxes and silver, and they have a good relationship with the previous officials.

So, you can only take risks and frame the Gu family?

If it is the meaning of the imperial court, then it is troublesome.

Qiao Lixi understands the truth of the tree, the Gu family has been kind and charitable over the years, and has made good connections, even a few cousins are also actively doing learning, striving to fight in the career.

A family without a background is like this, either relying on nobles to support them, or working their own.

Thinking a little far, Qiao Lixi retracted her loose emotions.

"You rest for half a day, and Ming'er will go back to Chaotianmen and pay close attention to the situation over there."

"Yes, miss."

After the little maid withdrew from the room, Mama Shen said worriedly, "Miss, you say, who would be so bold and frame our Gu family?" ”

"It's either red-eyed or jealous, but I don't know what the attitude of the imperial court is this time, and what is the purpose of the minister? If we can talk, then there is hope, if not...... That's trouble. Now, the most important thing is to find out who consigned the goods, as well as the thieves in the Gu family. ”

If there is a culprit, the responsibility of the Gu family will be small, even if the court does not show mercy, the Gu family will not suffer much damage.

There weren't many people who could use it in her hands, so she thought about it and finally handed it over to the rice cake.

As the most powerful secret guard by Gu Jinzhen's side, and often helps Gu Jinzhen do shady things, the Gu family's affairs are the most suitable for him to deal with.

Then Qiao Yixi asked people to go to Zhuangzi again, and secretly told Qiao Xingbang the news, so that he could be on guard.

Gu Jingshu's delivery date is approaching, and there is no way to make any mistakes.

……

North Courtyard.

Qiao Jinwen put away the letter sent by the capital, thought about it, and said to Mama Xue: "Before, you put away all the things I asked you to put away?" ”

"Miss, don't worry, the old slaves are all hidden."

Qiao Jinwen nodded reassuringly, "Those things are very important, they are related to whether our four rooms can inherit the Qiao family's property, and we can't make any mistakes." ”

"Miss, don't worry, those things are hidden by the old slave."

Qiao Jinwen confirmed again and again before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Those things are all evidence that Qiao Xingbang is a wild species, and she will not take it out unless she has to. It was not safe to put on her body, so she handed it over to Mama Xue.

Xue Momo and Mama Jiang are both her mother's dowry grandmothers, especially Mama Xue is her grandmother, and she is the most protective of her, those things are placed in Mama Xue, and Mama Xue will not peek.

"Miss, Gu Gongzi is going to Chaotianmen this time?" Mama Xue asked cautiously.

Qiao Jinwen shook her head regretfully, "This time, the imperial court sent someone over, and Jin Xuan will follow His Royal Highness to Southern Xinjiang." ”

"Southern Xinjiang? It was a barbarian place, and the old slave heard that those barbarians were particularly fierce. ”

In the latter words, Mama Xue didn't dare to say it, for fear of her crow's mouth.

Qiao Jinwen was not as fuss as Mama Xue, "With the Marquis of Zhenyuan watching, there shouldn't be an accident, and besides, it's not like you really want to kill the enemy." Jin Xuan said that he just accompanied the Third Highness to the southern Xinjiang for a walk, and waited for the Marquis of Zhenyuan to win two battles, and the battle achievements were counted on the head of the Third Highness, and the Third Highness would come back after establishing his prestige in the army. ”

"That's good," Mama Xue patted her chest and said, "As long as Gu Gongzi is not in danger, miss, do you want to send something over?" ”

Mama Xue knew about Qiao Jinwen and Gu Jinxuan, not to mention that she also got Xue Tao's instructions to mention Qiao Jinwen on the side to ensure that she could be a qualified good wife and mother.

Qiao Jinwen shook her head, "Jin Xuan and His Royal Highness went over together, and it didn't affect me to send things alone." He knew that I had this heart, and he specially told me to wait for his good news. When he comes back from the war, he will tell Mrs. Dingguo about our family affairs. ”

"Congratulations, Miss, Miss has finally been able to see the moon!"

"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, it's early." Qiao Jinwen was shy, saying modest words in her mouth, but in her heart she was determined to win!

Gu Jinxuan's family affairs are afraid that they have already been decided, and she is powerless to change this, so it is better to plan well than to be in the period of Ai Ai.

As long as she can enter the gate of the Dingguo Mansion, who said that she would be crushed by his wife?

Touching her lower abdomen, the smile on Qiao Jinwen's face deepened, mothers are expensive by their sons, as long as she can give birth to the eldest son, who will be the Hou Mansion in the future, not necessarily!

"Miss, there has been no movement in the East Courtyard for the past few days."

"What can she do?" Qiao Jinwen said mockingly, "Now, my father is taking care of the textile factory, and the long house has long been vacated, wait, in a few days, Qiao's house will be completely four-room." ”

"The lord and the lady have endured for so many years, and they can finally get what they want."

Qiao Jinwen sneered.

Look at the current long house, a wild seed, a sick seedling, a fool.

Tsk, that's true......

"Let people look at Gu Jingshu's Zhuangzi, and the time must be taken well." Qiao Jinwen lowered her voice.

"Miss, don't worry, the old slaves have all been arranged." Mama Xue's voice was more cautious than Qiao Jinwen's.

The Qiao family's current industry is not only limited to Shu brocade and Shu embroidery, as long as it can make money, including restaurants, tea, porcelain, and even rice grain, the Qiao family is involved, but Shu brocade and Shu embroidery are the foundation of the Qiao family.
