"It's just two boxes of snacks, and that's all you can get." Jiang Qin also had a disgusted face.

Smack.

Zhao Mei picked her fingertips, and the dim sum fell to the ground.

Thinking that she was still angry, Zhao Mei stepped on the snack box twice, and a lot of dim sum dregs fell out of the deformed outer box, Zhao Mei stomped her feet in disgust, and followed Jiang Qin to the study in the front yard.

The two stood respectfully outside the door of the study, patiently waiting for the little servant to report, and then entered the study one after the other.

Old Man Zhao and Fifth Master Zhao were whispering something, and after the two of them entered, Old Man Zhao raised his head and asked, "People are gone?" ”

"Father, Qiao Lixi is gone, most likely to go to the Gao family."

"The Gao family?" Old Man Zhao said contemptuously, "Qiao Yixi thinks the Gao family can help? That old fox has waited for so many years, and finally waited for the Gu family to fall, and now he is thinking of a way to include the power of Chaotianmen in his bag, how can he help the Gu family? The Gu family is completely finished this time. ”

Zhao Mei's eyes lit up.

The Gu family is over, Chaotianmen is the world of the Zhao family, she is the daughter of the Zhao family, and she is the eldest lady of Chaotianmen.

Qiao Lixi?

Oh, what the hell is she!

"Father, what about us?" Zhao Wuye asked anxiously.

As soon as the Gu family fell, the biggest forces in Chaotianmen were the Zhao family and the Gao family, although the imperial court made a guarantee, but the people of the two families knew that it was just officialdom, and if they really wanted to gain a firm foothold, they had to rely on force!

Thinking of Lord Qincha's private words, Old Man Zhao did not breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, the Gao family must have heard it, the court just wanted to give hope to the two families, an illusion, thinking that what they did was supported by the court, and the open and secret struggle between the two families became more and more intense, and the court just profited.

How can it be so good!

Old Man Zhao smiled calculatedly.

The Gu family has been guarding Chaotianmen for so many years, and the strength of the Zhao family is not good, so let's not talk about it, now the Gu family is finally not good, and the court wants to come to get a piece of the pie, hehe, the appearance is too ugly.

Regardless of whether the Gu family is calculated or blamed, this is an opportunity.

"Don't worry, the imperial court hasn't finally sent the Gu family, there must be some arrangements." Old Man Zhao said with confidence.

"But father, the imperial court dragged on and didn't raid the house, in case something happened on the way,......" Zhao Wuye asked worriedly.

There is no house raid, no verdict, and there are too many variables.

Old Man Zhao chuckled, "The human and material evidence are all there, and the imperial court has sent the minister over again, what else will happen?" I guess the court is looking for an opportunity. You also know how much influence the Gu family has in western Sichuan, as soon as the Gu family copies it, the situation here will be chaotic, the imperial court has to stabilize the situation, and there are many follow-up problems, all of which must be arranged before they can take action. This time, the court acted too quickly, and many things were not handled well, but ......"

Old Man Zhao glanced around and said slowly: "No matter how strong the Gu family is, it is just a ruffian hooligan, and he wants to rebel just by relying on that bit of weapon that has been discovered, who will believe such an excuse, so I have to find someone to back it up." ”

"Father, what do you mean ......" Suddenly thinking of something, Zhao Wuye's eyes lit up.

Old Man Zhao raised his eyes, did not keep silent because of the presence of a woman, on the contrary, because he was about to make his wishes come true, the previous caution was a little lax, and he talked about it: "The elder of the three dynasties of Zhenyuan Marquis, and the god of war of the dynasty, although the emperor reuses Zhenyuan Marquis, he can be more afraid than trust, the higher the prestige of Zhenyuan Marquis in the people, the deeper the emperor's jealousy of him." ”

"So this time, ......" Fifth Master Zhao looked at Old Man Zhao without saying anything.

Old Man Zhao nodded tacitly.

Those with a keen sense of smell can see the cattiness in it, but they don't know how big a fuss the court is going to make about this matter.

If you want to move the Marquis of Zhenyuan, it is not just a small planting that can be done, the war in southern Xinjiang is imminent, and there is no general in the army who can replace the Marquis of Zhenyuan, why is the court doing this?

Retracting his sluggish emotions, Old Man Zhao said: "These are just my guesses, what the court is going to do, it's a matter of the court, and we have arranged it here?" ”

looked at Zhao Wuye.

Zhao Wuye's expression froze, "Father, please rest assured, everything has been arranged here." ”

"That's good," Old Man Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "Prepare first, the Gao family's side will do it before us." ”

After Qiao Yixi came out of Zhao's house, she did go to Gao's house, and she also only stayed for a cup of tea before coming out, and then went back to the rented courtyard directly.

This time, Mama Feng also came with her, and Qiao Yixi simply asked her to arrange housekeeping, and she and Mama Shen were busy with the Gu family's affairs outside.

After the meal, Qiao Yixi looked at the book in her hand boredly, and Angelica came in quietly, "Miss, Gu Gongzi is here, at the inn." ”

Calling the former master like this, Angelica means that there is no sense of disobedience.

Qiao Yixi frowned, this guy really came.

When she asked Rice Cake to do errands, she didn't deliberately hide it from Gu Jinzhen, not only because Rice Cake was Gu Jinzhen's person, but also because this matter was very important, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Gu Jinzhen, so she told him in advance to let him know in his heart.

As a result, this guy really wanted to get involved.

"Miss......" Angelica thought for a while, and explained for the former master, "Gu Gongzi must have something important to come over." ”

Qiao Yixi nodded, "Then tonight." ”

After getting Qiao Yixi's accurate reply, Angelica breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know if it's because Qiao Yixi arrived at Chaotianmen, the progress of the imperial court seems to have accelerated, and after the Gu family's assets were sorted out, they were all emptied, and the Yang family and the Li family's maiden family also suffered the same thing.

After a day of stopping, Qiao Lixi and Mama Shen went to the official mansion.

To Qiao Yixi's surprise, the one who summoned her was actually the legendary Lord Qincha who saw the head and the end of the dragon!

Qiao Lixi took a closer look, she was in her early forties, her thin body was no different from the uncle on the street, and the only thing that made people feel uncomfortable was those eyes.

How so?

Qiao Yixi thought about it seriously.

Those eyes were not very aggressive, so at first glance they didn't seem to think anything, but the slimy feeling was very uncomfortable and reminded her of snakes.

Qiao Yixi is not afraid of snakes, but she doesn't like the cold touch, the feeling of no temperature, which makes people feel worried.

Lei Nan only glanced at Qiao Yixi contemptuously, and then asked condescendingly, "I don't know what Miss Qiao is doing when she comes here today?" ”

Ask while knowing the answer.

Qiao Yixi cursed in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "Lord Lei, the folk girl wants to ask about the Gu family. ”

"Miss Qiao, the matter of the Gu family, the official can't say too much, what you see now is what the Gu family deserves," Renan said in a tone of voice, "As for the back, it depends on Your Majesty's decision, after all, this is a great crime of treason." ”

Officialdom old fritters.

Qiao Lixi pursed her lips with disdain, but her face was a little anxious, "Lord Lei, the maiden wants to ask, the minnu's grandfather's family ...... Can the capital be exempted? ”

Lei Nan glanced at Qiao Lixi faintly, "It depends on whether Old Man Gu is worthy of cooperation, Miss Qiao also knows that this case is quite tricky, Old Man Gu has been like this and has not spoken, the official can't finish the case, can't find the person behind the scenes, can't close the case, and Old Man Gu's family has to stay in prison all the time." Moreover, today's saint is strict in governing the country, and he will never allow such a thing to drag on, if Old Man Gu doesn't open his mouth all the time, and the saint has no patience, then ......"

In the words that want to stop talking, there is a strong sense of worry and murder.

Qiao Yixi was obviously frightened, and immediately turned red, "So, what can that folk girl do?" ”

Lei Nan looked at Qiao Yixi in embarrassment, "The official understands Miss Qiao's feelings, but Old Man Gu doesn't cooperate, and the official has no choice, if Miss Qiao can make Old Man Gu confess, then the rest of the matter will be easy to solve." Old Man Gu is not the main offender, and as an accomplice, he bears much less guilt and responsibility. ”

Obviously, Qiao Yixi was moved, thinking seriously about Renan's words.

"Actually, on the mastermind's side, the official has some eyebrows, and he just needs to find someone to cooperate and act in a play."

"What play?" Qiao Lixi asked with concern.

Lei Nan pondered for a long time before saying, "It stands to reason that the official can't tell you these things, but for the sake of your filial piety, the official will reveal a little." Although the people of the Gu family were locked up, the people in charge of contact were let out, just waiting for the people over there to take the bait. This matter is very important, the people over there want to cut off the Gu family's internal line, but they haven't found a chance to start, this time, the person in charge of the contact in the middle finally persuaded the people over there to meet and solve the remaining troubles of the Gu family, for example, the correspondence and account books that we have not found. If we can seize the opportunity and catch the turtle in the urn, then the Gu family can get rid of serious crimes. It's just that the people over there are very cautious, and if they want to see someone who can speak to the Gu family, the official has also hinted to your grandfather and two uncles, but they ......"

looks like he hates iron but not steel.

Qiao Lixi grabbed the last straw and took the initiative to say: "If the adults believe in the people's daughter, please let the people's girl go." ”

Seeing that Lord Qincha still couldn't make up her mind, Qiao Lixi was anxious, "Does Lord Qin have any concerns?" ”

"Miss Qiao, it's not that the official doesn't trust you, it's just that this matter is extremely dangerous, although I don't know who the other party is, but the other party is extremely vicious, and the official is worried that the other party will kill people! After all, if something happens to the Gu family, they can't save it, and the best way is to ...... Cut the grass and eradicate the roots! If it weren't for the fact that the official believed in Old Man Gu's personality, he didn't want the Gu family to decline from now on, and he wouldn't think about helping the Gu family. ”

"The folk girl is grateful for the hard work of the adults, the folk girl is a member of the Gu family, and it is very suitable for the folk girl to come forward in this matter, and the folk girl also wants to help her grandfather's family clear their felonies."

A dark light flashed through his eyes, and Renan finally nodded, "In this matter, do you want to prophet old man Huigu?" ”

"No," Qiao Lixi said stubbornly, "In this matter, the folk girl can call the shots!" ”
