"Xu Zhen is the current helmsman of the Songjiang Xu family, and he is highly valued by Xu Huating, if Xu Dengying is not lying, then there is only one reason why he was grounded......"

"Is it because of you?" Li Yan appropriately interrupted Zhang You, although her tone was questioning, her expression was very sure.

"That's right, in the eyes of these Jiangnan giants, I am Your Majesty's spokesperson, and the huge profits from overseas trade make them try their best to prevent Your Majesty from getting involved, this is the fundamental reason for our antagonism, Xu Zhen, as the speaker of the Songjiang Xu family, should never fall to me, even if there is only this tendency, Xu Huating must nip it in the bud."

"In this way, Xu Dengying told us the news, and his original intention was to show favor to you, but it's a pity that he is cunning and cunning, and he is unwilling to show too much before the situation is completely clear, so he pretended to say this unintentionally, right?" Li Yan gradually followed Zhang You's train of thought and said.

Zhang You nodded: "That's right, that's what it means." The Xu family he represents is different from the Songjiang Xu family, and it does not belong to the vassals of the Xu family of the Duke of Wei, in fact, it is in its own vein, but it is the smallest among the four major families, and it is normal to survive in the cracks and be cautious. Saying a smile, he said confidently: "Sooner or later, one day I will let him come over willingly, but when I wait until that day, I am willing to take him in, but I have the final say." There are pros and cons to the two-Beijing system, these guys are used to their own pattern, and they have long forgotten what their surname is in this world, but today is different from the previous emperor, but he is an ambitious, wait for it, and there is a good show to watch. The only thing I'm curious about now is how they're going to stop me from building an ocean-going fleet and setting it on fire this time. If that's the case, I have to let Qi Jiguang lead the troops to level his Songjiang Xu Mansion! ”

"You just blow it, Xu Huating has been in charge for many years, the branches are lush and deep-rooted, and now there are countless businessmen in Jiangnan who snort, you dare to commit the Songjiang Xu family, you have to make a big mess, when the time comes, you will be the scapegoat, Your Majesty will be the first to kill you in order to calm the anger of the public." Li Yan knew that Zhang You was just talking, but she was also a little worried, and couldn't help but analyze the pros and cons for him, she knew Zhang You too well, don't look at the appearance of politeness and harmlessness of people and animals, if you really want to go crazy, it is really done with everything.

"Lao Xu, what are you doing here?" Running into Xu Wei head-on, with a stack of official documents under his arm, Zhang You asked with a smile.

Xu Wei glanced at him and said angrily: "It's not all the good things you found for Lao Tzu, I knew that I was so busy, and I didn't leave Shanyin with you when I said anything." "He has a perverse personality and is not sophisticated, but his ability to handle political affairs is very powerful, otherwise he would not have been cited as a confidant by Hu Zongxian, the governor of the southeast. Such a talented person naturally couldn't let it go, so as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, Zhang You recommended him to Xing Shangzhi.

As mentioned above, the Nanjing garrison eunuch is equivalent to the representative of the emperor's official face, and the military and civil affairs of Jiangnan all have the right to interrogate, known as the close minister of the Son of Heaven thousands of miles away, and it is never an exaggeration to describe it as powerful.

In the past, Xing Shangzhi had always relied on the housekeeper Shen Weijing to deal with these trivial matters, but now that he has Xu Wei, he is naturally entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"Stop, Lao Xu, this is not what you dreamed of, don't get cheap and sell well." Zhang You directly debunked Xu Wei's hypocrisy, and he could see that although this duke was dissatisfied, his spirit was very refreshed, and he obviously liked this kind of work very much.

Xu Wei is the kind of donkey, the more he follows him, the more he looks down on him, and he eats Zhang You's set the most, and he smiled when he heard the words: "Stinky boy, has anyone said that you are particularly annoying?" Lao Tzu is also a talent, so can't he save some face for Lao Tzu? ”

"How much is face worth? Can it be eaten as a meal, or can it be drunk as a drink? Let me say, this is the most useless thing in the world. ”

Xu Wei was slightly stunned, and laughed: "That's right, the old man has read countless people in his life, and he is still the most appetizing for your kid...... Where are you two going? I heard that I was drunk again last night, it's not that Lao Tzu is laughing at you, a manly husband can't even deal with a little wine, it's really not as good as a girl! ”

"Do you want to accumulate some virtue in your mouth?" Zhang You rolled his eyes and briefly said about Xu Dengying's visit, and as soon as the words fell, Xu Wei said: "It seems that Xu Huating is in a hurry, and he is going to change his strategy against you, you should be careful, this duke has a good appearance, but in fact he is not a good stubble, what he is best at is to hold back, and then wait for the right time to kill with one blow, I think back then, didn't Yan Song's father and son also be deceived by him?" ”

"I know, what kind of official document are you holding here?" Zhang You didn't want to talk about it too much and changed the topic.

"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers...... According to the official document reported by Dongting County, this year's rain is heavy, and Dongting Lake is very silted, and it has been dredging for fear of affecting next year's transportation. ”

"Cao Yun is a big deal, hurry up and hurry up with your go!" Zhang Youdao.

Of course, the old man understands the importance of Cao Yun, but I heard that Gonggong Xing said that he had allocated silver twice in the early stage, one million taels each time, and now he came to ask for it again...... Hmph, the officials below are flying and doggy, a bunch of ghosts, just right, aren't you the commander of the Jinyi Guard, send someone over to check, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that all the silver is used to dredge Dongting Lake. ”

Zhang You nodded: "Okay, I have already sent a letter to Jingshi, let Li Miao lead Wang Erzhuang and them over, it is estimated that they will arrive in a few days, and they will do this first after they arrive." ”

Xu Wei bowed his head and left satisfied.

Back at his residence, Zhang You glanced at the deed on the coffee table, and said to Li Yan with a smile: "It's okay left and right, why don't we go and have a look?" ”

Li Yan didn't know what she thought, her pretty face was slightly red, and she nodded: "Okay, didn't Xu Dengying say that someone has been cleaning it up, and you can live in it if you move in?" Let's go and see first, and if you need anything, you can buy it as soon as possible. ”

The place referred to by the deed is on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, it is a typical garden-style building in the south of the Yangtze River, covering a wide area, under the leadership of the gate, it turns around, the pavilions and pavilions, the winding paths are quiet, the environment is very elegant, the important point, Xu Dengying really did not lie, there are indeed people who have been cleaning up, there is no barrenness, it is rare that every room is fully furnished, and the bedding is brand new.

"I don't think someone has been cleaning up, but in order to give you gifts, I deliberately found someone to clean it up, right?" In the small building by the pond in the back garden, Li Yan leaned on the railing on the second floor and looked at the Dongting Lake in the distance, and said with a smile.

Zhang You was noncommittal, and looked back and signaled to the "guide": "You go down first, let's rest here for a while." ”

The middle-aged man had already been instructed, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he bowed down and retreated.

Zhang You listened attentively, and heard the sound of footsteps going downstairs, until there was no more sound, then he laughed evilly, walked quickly behind Li Yan, and hugged her into his arms.

"Yikes!" Li Yan exclaimed, but it was very short, because the second half of the voice had been blocked back by Zhang You's mouth*......
