"The county yamen summoned Chen Rong and other people who had land transactions with my Xu family......"

"Lord Yuan Jie, the prefect, has entered the county ......"

Although the person was not in the county office, the news over there still came back to Xu Ying as soon as possible, which made his face unconsciously have a little more smug smile: "Very good, it seems that this madman and Yang Zhen are planning to take advantage of Deng Bo's matter to completely make things bigger!" It's a pity, they wouldn't have thought that we had already dealt with it, and this time they would just shoot themselves in the foot! ”

"The third master is wise! If you hadn't arranged it earlier, we would have been passive this time. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But now, not only can they not hold our guilt, but they will let Yuan Zhifu grasp the mistake, even if they can't move Yang Zhen, the brocade guard, to pacify it, but it is easy to take the opportunity to win the madman county order. Xu Lide hurriedly agreed, and at the same time felt a little relieved in his heart.

Previously, because of a moment of anger, Xu Ying had already moved to kill those two people, and even planned to use the power that she could not use hidden in the shadows. In this regard, although Xu Lide did not dare to object, he was also very worried in his heart, after all, this kind of thing is not a joke, once something goes wrong, even if there is a powerful existence like the Xu family, it may not be able to protect itself.

And now it seems that they can take advantage of the other party's negligence to take down the madman county order of Yu Wenbin in one fell swoop, so the third master breathed, so naturally there is no need to take this risk again.

"That madman has repeatedly embarrassed us, and this time he even kicked his nose and cheek to cure my Xu family's crimes, and I want him to know who has the final say here! As for Yang Zhen, as long as he goes to Neiying, he can't afford to be an outsider! Xu Ying's face also showed some rare smiles. In fact, it is himself, and he knows very well how risky his previous decision was, once those guys are caught by mistake, it will inevitably bring great trouble to the Xu family, and it is always a good thing to be able to eradicate the thorn in the eye in a proper way.

After a pause, he said: "Tell someone to continue to keep an eye on the county government, and once that madman is taken down, report to me in time." I'm going to see what happens to him! ”

"Yes! The little one understands that our people will definitely send the news back as soon as possible. Xu Lide hurriedly agreed. I was afraid that there would be any omissions, so I bowed my hand to Xu Ying and walked out, wanting to instruct my subordinates a few more times to make them more snacks.

But as soon as he walked to the door of the hall, there was a dull coughing sound outside, and an octogenarian slowly walked into the gate of Xu Ying's small courtyard on crutches with the support of several attendants.

As soon as he saw the appearance of the arrival, Xu Lide's movements were stunned, and then he bent down very respectfully and saluted: "I've seen the master!" And the other servants around him all knelt down in response, and pressed their foreheads to the ground, not daring to even look at anyone.

The only ones who can make these Xu family slaves look like this, and don't even dare to take a breath of air, are the real masters of this family, the former head assistant of the Ming Cabinet, the young master Xu Jie, and Xu Shaohu.

Although he looks a little trembling now even walking a few steps, if no one is around, he is likely to fall to the ground, but this kind of prestige formed by living in people for a long time and controlling state affairs can still make the surrounding Xu family members and others be in awe and dare not look up.

It was his son Xu Ying, who was also stunned when he saw his father's sudden arrival, and hurriedly came out to salute: "Meet my father." If the father has any orders, just ask someone to recruit his son over, why come over in person......" As he spoke, he glanced at a few house slaves who accompanied Xu Jie.

In the face of his son's respect and concern, Xu Jie just snorted, didn't pay much attention, and walked towards the hall by himself, even if his son wanted to step forward to help, he was dodged away without a trace.

This time, Xu Ying's heart suddenly tightened, knowing that her father was angry with herself: "Could it be that he knew about the previous things?" ”

It wasn't until he entered the hall and sat on the chair that Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief and sighed softly: "Old man, after walking such a little way, he was short of breath, no wonder they all said that seventy-three eighty-four, the king of Hades did not recruit himself." It seems that the old man is not far from this day! ”

"Father...... You will definitely be able to live a long life, and your old body can be strong......" When Xu Ying heard her father suddenly say such things, her face changed in fright, and she quickly knelt down and persuaded her.

"Heh, the old man is still a little self-aware, he has lived so long, some people can't hate me to death? They wish I was dying, and they didn't have to be restrained all the time. Otherwise, why do they dare to hide from the old man and make their own claims now, and even mention it afterwards? Xu Jie glanced at his son meaningfully and said softly.

Although he said this very lightly, it was almost no different from thunder in Xu Ying's ears, which made his face turn pale all of a sudden, and after being stunned for a moment, he kowtowed vigorously and said: "Father, it is the child who is not filial, and the child should not have something to hide from you!" Obviously, his father already knew something, and of course he had no possibility of hiding it, so he could only admit his mistake.

Xu Jie's old eyes stared at the top of his son's head for a long time, and then he sighed slowly: "You can get up." And you, all of you, arise and speak! Even Xu Sanye knelt down, and of course the other slaves didn't dare to stand anymore, so they all knelt on their knees.

Xu Ying stood up nervously, but her eyes didn't dare to face her father, she just lowered her head and waited for her father's reprimand. I just waited for a long time, but I didn't see Xu Jie speak, so he only said tentatively: "Father, the child really shouldn't hide from you in some things, but after all, this is just a small matter, the child thinks that it is not too late to talk about it after the matter is completed, and I don't want to disturb your ......father's tranquility."

"A trifle? Let me ask you, have I told you several times before, telling you not to embarrass Nazhi County Yi Wenbin? But what have you done now? Thinking about fighting with him, you actually asked the prefect Yuan Jie to help, are you afraid that others will not know how powerful our Xu family is in Jiangnan, and you are afraid that those officials in the DPRK and China will not find an excuse to attack? Xu Jie asked coldly.

"This ...... This is completely because the madman is too pushing, and the child can't bear it, so he came up with this decision. Father, don't you know, he actually wants to make a fuss about land sales, and he even took the initiative to find many people, wanting them to testify against our Xu family. If we don't fight back, this madman will become more and more excessive, and no one knows what he will do next! ”

"You're really right! With just a seven-grade county order, what ability can he have to pose a threat to us? Even if you add another Jinyi guard's appeasement, at most they will be entangled in some small issues, you just have to bear with it and retreat, and they will naturally have nothing to do. It's good for you, as the person in charge of my Xu family, but like a ruffian on the street, as soon as you are attacked, you want to fight back, and you also pull the prefect to fight with them, which will only make things bigger and bigger, and will only bring us new trouble, don't you even understand this truth? Xu Jie rebuked angrily.

Xu Ying opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't dare to argue again. He knew very well that his father had always behaved in a way that was to brake with static. In a seemingly harmless retreat, the enemy was crushed. At the beginning, he used this kind of forbearance to defeat Yan Song, who was arrogant and arrogant, and under one person.

It's a pity that he, Xu Ying, as a son, did not inherit his father's hand of overcoming rigidity with softness, and under the attack of Lu Wenbin one after another, he finally couldn't bear to take the initiative.

Looking at his son's somewhat angry face, Xu Jie sighed lightly: "It's also my fault for not being able to teach you well, plus our Xu family has been accustomed to responding here over the years, so you have developed such a temper." It was just a small thing, but because of your decision, it got bigger and bigger. I'm afraid that after today, even in Beijing, there will be people who will pay attention to our Xu family! ”

Xu Ying didn't dare to refute, so she could only bow her head and kneel. But his attitude has already been put out, which made Xu Jie's brows furrow: "So far, don't you know what is wrong?" In fact, it's not too wrong to just borrow Yuan Jie's hand to deal with Yi Wenbin, but you have made another plan, and that is a big mistake. ”

"Ah......" Xu Ying's face suddenly changed, and her body trembled. I didn't expect that even this matter would be known by my father.

As soon as Xu Jie's gaze turned to the others, those people retreated very interestingly, giving up this hall to the father and son.

Xu Jie lowered his voice slightly: "In fact, I was not optimistic about you when you wanted to engage in overseas trade, after all, the imperial court forbids the sea, and once it is investigated, the results are unimaginable." But children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I, the father, can't control you for a lifetime, so I acquiesced. But I didn't expect that you were getting more and more bold, not to mention sending people to the sea, but also having contacts with the people of the Japanese country, and even collecting a group of people for your use - don't think that you are doing it secretly, there are some things that the old man doesn't say doesn't mean that I don't know.

"Although the old man is dissatisfied with these things, he has not broken it, and I think you may have your own thoughts. This time, you are too bold, and you actually thought of using these guys to deal with Jinyiwei and the imperial court and county orders! Do you know what this kind of thing means to our Xu family once it is noticed? In the end, Xu Jie's old eyes suddenly shot out two terrifying rays of light, covering his son firmly.

And Xu Ying was pale and couldn't say a word. Only then did he know that everything about himself was under his father's nose, and it was obvious that this time he was too presumptuous, so his father would come out to interfere.

Just when the father and son sat and knelt, not knowing how to continue, Xu Lide rushed to the front of the hall with some eagerness: "Master, third master, something happened......
