You Hongyuan opened the invitation, and sure enough, the money that fell was Zhuolu Trading Company, and he didn't look closely, and handed it to Master Bai casually, "What did I say, Mr. Bai, they are here with Buddha's feet, haha, it's just that they are also a thief, invite me to the banquet, hum, you still want to talk to me about the conditions." ”

"My lord, this invitation is a bit strange, and it doesn't matter if it's a date, just say that you'll send someone to inform them when it's settled, and besides, the place of this banquet is also quite strange." Master Bai looked at it carefully, and first discovered something unusual.

"Oh, aren't you welcoming guests? Whose restaurant is it? You Hongyuan asked, as for the day, he didn't pay attention to it, so it must be better for him.

"Not in town." Master Bai shook his head and said, "Xiaowangzhuang, which is more than ten miles outside the city, said that it was someone who greeted him on the official road, my lord, this Zhuolu Trading Company wouldn't do anything, right?" ”

"How dare they?" You Hongyuan smiled proudly, even if he held a banquet outside the state capital, it was also the center of a state, under his own nose, the soldiers of the squad and the servants could be sent by him, besides, there were still their hostages in his hands, and he was afraid that what would happen to this Zhuolu Trading Company?

"Hey, my lord, on the back of this invitation, there are two words, which are very strange, or... Take a look? Master Bai handed the invitation back to You Hongyuan.

"What..."You Hongyuan only said two words in his mouth, as if he was stuck, his eyes looked at the back of the invitation fixedly, and the two small words were "Zhilian".

After only being in a trance for a short while, You Hongyuan jumped up as if his butt was burned by fire, "Someone!" ”

"What's the matter, sir?" Chang Sui listened to his unkind tone, and quickly rushed into the study.

"Where's the porter? Get him for me, and send someone to the backyard to see if Madame and Son-in-law are there? "You Hongyuan's wife is not here, and it stands to reason that the concubine cannot be called a lady, but this woman gave birth to a son to him, and her status is very high in the inner house, so she has long been called Mrs. in a grand manner.

"My lord, have things changed?" Master Bai came to You Hongyuan's side and asked in a low voice.

You Hongyuan is hard to speak, "Zhilian" is the name of his concubine when she was a child, and people who are not close to her can't know it, and now this nickname openly appears on the invitation given to him by Zhuolu Trading Company, what happened, he doesn't know, he is terrified, but it involves privacy, but he can't tell Master Bai clearly, so he is so anxious to go around in the study.

Master Bai observed his words, wisely closed his mouth, stopped talking, and only stood quietly aside.

Chang Sui came back quickly, hurriedly walked into the study, and whispered a few words in You Hongyuan's ear, You Hongyuan's face became even more ugly.

The concierge also arrived, knowing that You Hongyuan lost his temper, he knelt down before entering the study, "Master, are you looking for me?" ”

You Hongyuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, but he couldn't lose his position in front of his subordinates, "Let me ask you, where is the person who sent the invitation, do you remember his appearance?" ”

As soon as the porter said the appearance of the person who sent the post, he would close the city gate and ask the whole city, as long as this person did not ride a horse, it would be too late.

"Hahaha..."In the alley not far from the gate of You Mansion, Ma Er, Niu Wu and Xu Jiu laughed and fell.

"Xu Jiu, it's really yours, how did you come up with such a trick?" Niu Wu asked.

Xu Jiu pouted, "This idiot, no one in this area knows, who doesn't know, Niu Wu, you have been hiding in the welcome for a long time, so you have never heard of it." ”

It turned out that there was a madman in this area of the state capital, his parents died early, his mind has not been opened, except for eating and sleeping, he doesn't know anything else, his name has been forgotten, he is called an idiot, relying on the alms of the neighborhood, and picking up some garbage everywhere, he has actually lived to the present.

Xu Jiu just promised to give the idiot a piece of cake, so he asked him to send the invitation to the gatehouse of Youfu, and now he was holding the cake, and he had long since disappeared.

Niu Wu was despised by Xu Jiu, but he was not annoyed, but praised, "Your kid and your good friend have made a great contribution this time, and it is your good friend who has taken people out, and you know the name of You Hongyuan's concubine, or you are good, that is, the trick of sending invitations is also thought up by your kid, this time, we can have a long face in front of the proprietor, and it is all thanks to you." ”

Xu Jiu's good friend knew the name of You Hongyuan's concubine, and when he discussed the strategy the first night, he told Ma Er that it was only Song Xiance that after the matter was completed, as soon as he saw Ma Er, he took out the invitation.

"That's it!" Xu Jiu was proud.

Ma Er was a little worried, "You Hongyuan won't be able to find our lords, so he will be angry with that idiot, right?" ”

"No, he can't afford to lose that man." Xu Jiuhun didn't care, "You Hongyuan is also a serious civil official, if he is as knowledgeable as this idiot, even his colleagues and subordinates, as well as his bosses, will look down on him, and in the future, he will not be able to raise his head in Baoan Prefecture and nearby Xuanfu and other places." ”

"If our You Tongzhi really arrests the idiot, maybe it will be a good thing." Niu Wu suddenly said faintly, "After entering the cell, the government can manage two meals a day, which is better than him being helpless on the street." ”

When Ma Er heard this, he fell silent, and even Xu Jiu, who had been nervous, also quieted down.

"Let's go." Niu Wu broke the silence, "Xu Jiu, didn't you kid say that the little guy who lives in your Tianzi room has a relationship with us, why don't you take advantage of my free time now and go to cross him?" ”

"That's a good dare, I'm still worried that a person can't show it, Second Brother Ma, what about you?" Xu Jiu asked.

"Let's go together, my task here is to stay in the city and keep an eye on You Hongyuan, but since there are sons and daughters to serve," Speaking of this, Ma Er poked his head out of the alley and glanced around, the idlers on the street, the tea customers in the tea shop, the wine customers in the wine shop, among these people, there are their own brothers who are staring at You Mansion without a trace, "I'll be lazy and go to play with you." ”

"Bang!" In the study of You Mansion, You Hongyuan kicked the concierge over, and before he could understand his hatred, he kicked a few more times before he scolded, "I think you are not as good as an idiot." ”

The porter couldn't say that he was bitter, and the idiot threw the invitation at him and ran away, what could he do with the idiot, and when he saw that the invitation fell on Zhuolu Trading Company, he didn't dare to delay and sent it in, but the result was not pleasing to him.

Master Bai on the side had already guessed what was going on from You Hongyuan's series of actions, You Hongyuan's concubine and only son were tied up by Zhuolu Trading Company, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the cycle of Tianli is really not deceiving, one report and one report.

After You Hongyuan was a little relieved, he persuaded, "My lord, how to deal with Zhuolu Trading Company, it's better to make a plan earlier." "But I didn't think about dealing with an idiot at all, and no one could afford to lose that person.

"What else, I can only change people with them." You Hongyuan gasped and sat back in his chair, both sides were holding each other's people, but Zhuolu Trading Company was much more important, and he didn't dare to joke with his son's life.

It's not that he didn't think about mobilizing the army and soldiers to capture the Zhuolu Trading Company, but not to mention the cumbersome procedures for mobilizing the army, he is not very relieved about the combat effectiveness, and since the other party blatantly said the location, there must be no fear, the vicinity of Xiaowangzhuang is empty, but I am afraid that as soon as the army is dispatched, they will flee.

"Mr. Bai, I'm in a state of turmoil right now, so I'll work hard for you to set the day, the sooner the better, and then arrange for someone to inform Zhuolu Trading Company." You Hongyuan said weakly.

"Dare to disobey." Master Bai should leave in a hurry.
