Chapter 360: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf (2)

Qu Xi's eyebrows lowered and she didn't say a word, although she didn't answer positively, but silence was acquiescence. Qin Baichuan gasped, but finally reacted...... Yes, yes, Splendid Villa is the lifeblood of Quxi, she won't hand it over to the Hundred Flowers Workshop, how can she send it to Xiao Yu's mouth in vain? Besides, if you want to rely on Xiao Yu, Qu Xi will not take such extreme measures as marrying him!

Qin Baichuan licked his lips that were a little dry due to the accident, Qu Xi's attitude towards Xiao Yu in the study teahouse had made him half angry, Qu Xi at that time was clearly not confessing to Qin Baichuan, but once again using his reaction to strengthen Xiao Yu's mind, and then achieve her goal of killing Xiao Yu! Qin Baichuan stared at Qu Xi in a daze, he was shocked to find that this woman's methods were far from being as simple as he thought, and he still underestimated her in the end!

"Have you seen enough?" Qin Baichuan stared at Qu Xi for a long time at the tea time, no matter how indifferent Rao is Da Zhuangzi is, he couldn't stand his hot gaze.

"Pretty." Qin Baichuan gave a thumbs up, and he didn't know whether to say that Qu Xi was beautiful, or that he was playing beautifully: "Master Qu, I just want to know...... You and Xiao Yu joined forces to deal with Cheng Yangtian, Xiao Yu is not a fool, he must have taken precautions against you......"

"That's what I called you to the mansion for." There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Qu Xi said: "Whether to go or stay, you decide for yourself." ”

Qin Baichuan shrugged his shoulders, the baby wife gave him so many surprises, where did Qin Baichuan still have the intention of leaving, and honestly returned to his seat.

The door of the side hall was pushed open, and the figure at the door flickered, led by Lu Yuanxing, who was wearing an official uniform but not wearing an official hat, followed by Xiao Yu, Ma Zhi, Uncle Hu, and Sun Dahai under Cheng Yangtian. Lu Yuanxing once recognized Qu Xi as his niece, but now it is obviously inconvenient to call him a personal friend on this occasion, so after he came in, he smiled at Qu Xi: "Master Qu Zhuang." ”

"Lord Lu." Qu Xi didn't dare to hold it up, and got up to salute Lu Yuanxing.

Lu Yuanxing nodded, his originally solemn face showed a smile after seeing Qin Baichuan, he preemptively hugged his fist at Qin Baichuan, saluted and said with a smile: "This mansion is on official business, and I failed to greet Mr. Qin's big drive in time, please don't be surprised." ”

Qu Xi frowned, Xiao Yu's face was strange, Ma Zhi and Sun Dahai were also a little puzzled, no matter how powerful this surnamed Qin is, he is just a rising star in Jiangling, and Lu Yuanxing, as the Yin of Jiangling Mansion, has a good relationship with Qin Baichuan is nothing more than being able to make a little more money, he doesn't need to salute Qin Baichuan as a dignified Yin, right?

"Lord Lu is polite, the grass people can't afford it." Qin Baichuan smiled casually and avoided his body.

"I've heard Xian Xian say that when Wangjiang Tower reopened, Mr. Qin's methods were astonishing. However, due to his official position, it is a pity that the government cannot be present in person. Lu Yuanxing shook his head helplessly, as if he was full of guilt for Qin Baichuan, and he didn't even pay attention to the strange gazes of others. They didn't know, but Lu Yuanxing knew that this time the emperor personally issued a holy edict, ordering Jiangling Mansion to open up the way of speech, learn from the people's suggestions to get rich in one city and one place, and even sent Lord Lu to Jiangling as a messenger, and secretly ordered Qin Baichuan to participate in supervision, how could he not lower his posture?

Of course, he knew these things in his own heart, and it was impossible for him to announce them in public. After greeting Qin Baichuan, Lu Yuanxing stood up straight, took out his official authority and said, "Mr. Qin, there are some official affairs handled by this mansion, and they have trespassed. ”

"Lord Lu, please." Qin Baichuan pointed to the main position.

"Please." Lu Yuanxing strode onto the stage, waved his hand at Qin Baichuan, waited for Qin Baichuan to sit down before he sat down, and then said to Qu Xi and the others: "You all sit down, this mansion has something to ask." ”

"Yes." Although he didn't know why Lu Yuanxing would be so respectful to Qin Baichuan, Qu Xi and the others didn't think too much, after all, after all the calculations, in the end, it still depended on how Lu Yuanxing decided.

"Master Qu Zhuang, Xiao Gongzi, I have read your papers, and I have asked the tainted witness Sun Dahai's confession." Lu Yuanxing took out a thick stack of papers from the wide sleeves of his robe and put it on the table, everyone was waiting for Lu Yuanxing's next words, but Lu Yuanxing was silent, with a light in his eyes that had already understood everything.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Qu Xi's face was expressionless, and although Xiao Yu's face was a little restless, he never spoke, Lu Yuanxing sighed and said, "It seems that the two of you are determined to drive the Cheng family out of Jiangling." Lu Yuanxing's heart was awe-inspiring, when the Cheng family entered Jiangling, Xiao Yu handed him a silver ticket and let him go all the way, he still felt strange at the time, now look at it, shopping malls are the same as officialdom, and there is no blood in killing.

"Lord Lu is not right to say this, it's not that we want to drive the Cheng family out of Jiangling, it's just that they are at fault." Even in the face of Jiangling's parents, Qu Xi still had that cold look, and he didn't even mean to open his mouth at all, Xiao Yu couldn't help but say: "Our contract is clearly signed, this tripartite alliance is very important, and it wants to build a century-old enterprise, but the Cheng family secretly uses this method...... Of course, arsenic can add color to cinnabar, but this kind of behavior is simply a matter of carelessness for human life, how can the Xiao family be with the Cheng family? ”

Lu Fuyin sighed lightly, then Cheng Yangtian is not a fool, how could he do such a thing? That Sun Dahai answered like a stream when he asked, obviously he had been prepared, if he said that he was not an internal ghost, he would not believe Lu Yuanxing if he killed him. However, this kind of shopping mall dispute cannot be used on a large scale, even if it is interrogated again, there will be no different results, plus there is still the shadow of Qin Baichuan in this matter, Lu Yuanxing does not dare to dig deeper.

"If you insist on doing what you do, then I have nothing to say." Lu Yuanxing flipped through the contract, handed it to the official behind him, and said, "What I can tell you now is that if you ask for it, the government can immediately arrest Cheng Yangtian and confront him on the spot." ”

Qu Xi and Xiao Yu didn't speak, only heard Lu Yuanxing say again: "It's just ...... From a personal point of view, this is not recommended. No matter how despicable Cheng Yangtian is, after all, he is Cheng Jiuxing's descendant, and his descendants will go to the court, after this matter reaches Lin'an, Cheng Jiuxing will inevitably lose face. ”

Although Da Song said that the Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people, but this is just to fool the common people, not to mention that the punishment is not a sergeant, even if the descendants pass the court, it will be a huge shame for this official family. Which of these retired ministers can not have few relatives and friends in the court? Things are really out of control, not to mention that the Splendid Villa and the Medicine Pavilion are self-defeating, even if he travels far away, he can't eat and walk around.

"Then with Lu Fuyin's meaning, how should this matter be handled?" Qu Xi said in a deep voice.

"Judging from the evidence currently in the possession of this government, if the two of you insist on asking that the Cheng family not be given a chance to reform themselves, and the government will investigate and deal with it impartially, then Cheng Yangtian will be expelled from Jiangling, and even the government can issue an injunction, and within ten years, the Cheng family will not have any business moves in Jiangling."

Qin Baichuan grinned secretly, Cheng Yangtian must have done evil in his life, he was dug such a big pit by Qu Xi, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and even the Cheng family had no chance to make a comeback within ten years, just like depriving political rights in modern times.

"That's the final outcome of the trial, but the government suggests that it is best for the three parties to meet once, and if the final opinions cannot be unified, it is not too late for the government to intervene." Lu Yuanxing suggested.

Qin Baichuan nodded, civil litigation is probably the same, first out-of-court mediation, if everyone is satisfied, then withdraw the lawsuit, if any party is not satisfied, it is not too late to hold a trial. Maybe Lu Yuanxing also has his own private plans, if he can solve the problem without going to court, and if the Cheng family wants to find trouble with Lu Yuanxing afterwards, he can also shirk it.

"Your Excellency." When no one spoke in the side hall, someone outside the door said. Everyone looked up, but saw the head catcher Du Bo walking in in civilian clothes, and nodded to Qin Baichuan, Du Bo did not speak to him on official business, but hugged his fists at Lu Yuanxing and said: "According to the instructions of the adults, I have been to the Hundred Flowers Workshop, and the owner of the Cheng Workshop should be on the way." ”

Everyone in the side hall frowned, obviously Lu Yuanxing went to invite Cheng Yangtian in a private identity It was not in their expectations. However, this is fine, after all, it is in the Jiangling Mansion, and the evidence is conclusive, so Cheng Yangtian can't make any waves.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the government does not want to push this year's case to next year, so it has made its own claim." Lu Yuanxing stood up and said, "You are waiting for Master Cheng here, you can talk about everything calmly and slowly, this mansion is not here to get in the way, so we are waiting for your final decision." ”

Saying that, Lu Yuanxing hugged his fists at everyone, and invited Qin Baichuan to drink tea and talk alone, after being politely rejected by Qin Baichuan, Lu Yuanxing did not force it, and left the side hall with Du Bo and a cadre of officials.

"Childe ......" After Lu Fuyin left, Sun Dahai, who had a ghost in his heart, had a complicated expression and said worriedly.

"What? Regretted it? Xiao Yu clenched his fists.

"I've done everything, what's the use of regretting?" Sun Dahai gritted his teeth and said: "After all, I have been in the Cheng family for so many years, and the old owner and the young owner are good to me, so ...... see him at this time."

"You and Cheng Yangtian are just master and servant, I am friends with him, and the owner of Qu Zhuang is even more small with him, you think you have no shame to see him, what should I do with the owner of Qu Zhuang?" Xiao Yu sneered.

"Brother Xiao is right, friends are always friends, and small hair is also small." Xiao Yu's voice fell, and Cheng Yangtian's unique creepy slender voice came from outside the door. Qin Baichuan raised his head, Cheng Yangtian was wearing a bright red outfit, although his face was a little pale, but with a smile, the housekeeper Ding behind him walked in unhurriedly with two gift boxes in his hands.
