After coming to this world, Ma Chao has seen many merchants, and they have their own demeanor: the merchant style in Liangzhou is fierce, the caravans are all carrying knives and arrows, riding fast horses, drinking in big bowls, shouting loudly, and when they are in friendship, they go away with their hands without frowning; Jizhou has always been the richest, and the businessmen raised are like Zhen Mi, elegant and tolerant, sincerity first, and always have good etiquette when talking to people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Confucian businessman; The merchants of Chang'an have the most atmosphere of the previous life, they are shrewd and capable, skillful, neither humble nor arrogant, or sleek, or rude, but doing business is doing business, making money while also raising a good popularity, and natural wealth is rolling.

But when Ma Chao saw the person in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly. The guy in front of him, who claimed to be the uncle of the Mu Yang clan, did not have a sideways face or vulgarity, but his two pairs of eyes always flashed from time to time, as if they were immediately calculating other people's pockets, and the speculative atmosphere was extremely strong. This feeling made Ma Chao very uncomfortable.

"Are you Mu Bai?" Ma Chao saw that this guy was not panicked in Chang'an Prison, but suddenly became a little interested.

"The villain kowtows to the general and the general's wife!" When the man saw Ma Chao come in, he knelt down when Ma Chao spoke.

Ma Chao glanced back and forth at his outfit, and was a little puzzled: before coming here, he deliberately changed into a not very high-grade clothes, let alone a marked splendid robe. This Mu Bai came up and worshipped, obviously feeling that he was in a high position. I have to say that this guy's ability to recognize people is still a little bit.

However, this is actually Ma Chao's opinion of Mu Bai. Ma Chao is now the King of Yong of the Han Dynasty, and he has experienced countless swords, guns, and swords on the battlefield and in the court, and his body taste and bearing have long been filled with the calm and wise of the superior who is as immobile as a mountain. Only his own share of origin had been retained in his previous life, so most of the time he didn't notice it.

"You guy, your mouth is quite fast, it must be because of this mouth that you have coaxed a lot of Hongnong officials and opened the door to you for convenience, right?" Da Qiao smiled, intentionally or unintentionally revealing his face with only a phoenix tail bun. Then he looked at Ma Chao, as if to say: It seems that in the future, I still don't want to comb my bun at will, so as not to misunderstand.

Diao Chan on the side saw that Da Qiao was almost secretly sending autumn waves to Ma Chao, and said in his heart that it was impossible not to be angry. Therefore, she also stepped forward, different from Da Qiao's gentle whisper, but said with a frosty face: "Mu Yang's clan uncle? Not bad...... It's a pity that Mu Yang has been imprisoned because of you, your clan uncle is really close to him, and he hurts people so deeply. ”

For the second daughter's exquisite performance, Ma Chao really didn't know what he felt in his heart. Although this kind of bridge is not uncommon in the backyard, Ma Chao still feels chills all over his body - look, didn't Mu Bai, who was kneeling on the ground, also start to break out in a cold sweat? This must be because the prison environment is so gloomy......

"It can't be!" After Mu Bai heard Diao Chan's ridicule, he suddenly raised his head: "Although my nephew is not a general, he definitely has more power than a general!" On that occasion, I saw with my own eyes that the county lieutenant would kowtow to my nephew, and more than 50 county soldiers in the county would follow my nephew's butt of 500 cavalrymen and eat ashes......"

Diao Chan nodded when he heard this, and then leaned into Ma Chao's ear and whispered: "This person's identity should not be bad, Mu Yang came to Chang'an for two months of training, and his achievements are remarkable." The ugly brother arranged for him to join Hongnong and copy a family that was plotting to rebel, presumably it was at that time that this person had an intersection with Mu Yang. ”

Ma Chao didn't react much, before coming here, he probably guessed that this person's identity was true. None of the family members of a high-ranking member of the imperial court dared to openly declare their identity and collude with officials in a mere county or county, and this kind of thing was too damaging to their identity and lacked technical content. Only a special force such as the Shadow, which is mysterious but not dignified and organized by the imperial court, will be known to passers-by by those who have a heart. And this clan uncle is even more of a distant one who is almost unrelated to each other.

In this way, Mu Yang will not have many elements involved in the case. This is in line with Ma Chao's expected judgment, and the nature of the case is much simpler. As a result, when he arrived here, Ma Chao was ready to turn around. But then Da Qiao suddenly asked Mu Bai: "I'm curious, a simple guy like you will just talk to Mu Yang and recognize the relationship." As for the later openly, he openly created momentum, secretly colluded with officials, and then opened shops and bullied peers, and finally developed to the point of stealing and taking human life like a mustard. Among them, there should be someone who instigates and guides you step by step, right? ”

Strictly speaking, Da Qiao's words can already be regarded as an inducement to confess, but what is strange is that as soon as this sentence came out, Mu Bai, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to think of something: "It's the Liu family!" It was the master of the Liu family's knife and pen who taught the villain to do this, and the stupid things that the villain did were all instigated by that bastard. said that I encroached on the copper mountain iron mine, but these copper mountain iron mines are taken care of by the Liu family, and the income is divided fifty-fifty. The villain didn't dare to do this at first, and he didn't think he was a businessman. But I can't stand them pouting again and again, and finally it became like this...... Also, the Li Qiu family was not forced to death by the villain, it was all the sins of the Li family! ”

After Mu Bai said this, he burst into tears and regretted not being at the beginning. Ma Chao also feels it now, this guy is a big fool who is smart on the surface, but is actually too stupid to be stupid. The kind that was instigated by those profiteers and strong, and carried all the black cauldron on their bodies. It really achieved the supreme state of being sold by others and helping others count the money.

However, this is not a big problem, anyway, Ma Chao has a plan in his heart, and it doesn't matter how he commits the crime. The important thing is, why did Da Qiao glance at Diao Chan again when he finished saying this?

"Sister, it seems that the Liu family is very suspicious. This matter involves shadows, do you need to send other shadows to investigate the Liu family to see if there are any spies from other forces who use this mode to spy on the Ma family's intelligence? ”

Ma Chao frowned when he heard this, feeling that his temples hurt a little, but he didn't dare to show it. lest the two of them rub themselves at the same time - that kind of gentleness is really unbearable......

And Da Qiao's words this time were really too much, and the probability that there were shadows of other princes' spies behind the Liu family was too small. What's more, whether there is or not, Diao Chan will take the initiative to send the Shadow to investigate. But this time, Da Qiao was kind enough to remind her, but in fact, it revealed that she coveted Diao Chan's subordinates to have control over the entire shadow.

Yes, Ma Chao knows that she used to be the most clever intelligence leader under Sun Ce, and her ability can completely support an information network system independently. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the post station introduced the shadow system, and she was the first to propose. And then there are a series of strategies such as military reform, business recovery planning, etc., which also have her participation - if Ma Chao does not have Diao Chan, Liu Yue, Lu Qiling and other wives, Ma Chao feels that he will definitely hand over a lot of power to her.

But the two met when the dust must have settled, and she did not experience the most dangerous and difficult time with Ma Chao at all, nor did she condense the trust of Jin Jian during that time. Even, in the previous life, there was a period of unbearable past that neither of them wanted to mention. This time, she gradually showed stronger and stronger abilities, which only made Ma Chao's heart more and more entangled: with her, she didn't trust her at all; No, there are really some ways of thinking, and only she can resonate. The only result is to trap her in Chang'an for no reason......

It's a pity that he is still a woman, not a man who worries about the world and plots ambitions. She will not smear the Ma family for the sake of her ambitions or glory and wealth. What she wants is something that Ma Chao doesn't dare to give at this time - love that goes beyond trust.

As a result, it has caused a dead knot that can never be untied in the backyard of the Ma family: Ma Chao has also tried, and after more than a year of getting along, his wives and Da Qiao naturally have some affection, and he also tried to slowly see if the two are still possible. But the result of the matter was too unexpected for Ma Chao, compared to Liu Yue and Lu Qiling, who had very deep contradictions before, the backyard of the Ma family was also ground into an iron plate, but Da Qiao, who settled in peacefully, could not be integrated with the daughters-in-law of the Ma family anyway, and there was nothing real or real, but the atmosphere of faint polite refusal became more and more intense.

Therefore, Diao Chan's answer was just a shallow smile: "Miss Xie Qiao reminds me, I will pay attention to this......"

It's better not to fight than to fight. Da Qiao could only smile regretfully, and there was no more to say.
