(Thank you Huang Xian Ge Bin Bin Qi Qi Scarecrow for voting for the precious monthly ticket, thank you.) ）

The first step was completed, Zheng Xunrui didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the next step was to directly interrogate the leader of the Sanyin Gang, of course, this was not his whim, through guò's analysis of many materials, he found an interesting phenomenon, that is, the Shanyin Gang seems to be the base camp identified by the Cao Gang, and there are a lot of fights and even secret fights between other Cao Gangs, all for the sake of turf and interests, etc., these contradictions are basically coordinated by the Sanyin Gang, and the efficiency of successful coordination is very high, If the Cao Gang dares to directly argue with the Sanyin Gang, the outcome is often miserable.

In addition, the connection between the Sanyin Gang and the official scholars and merchants is very close, although other Cao Gang is also in contact with the official scholars and merchants, but there are few direct contacts with the governor's office, these things are generally done by the Sanyin Gang, and the prestigious scholars and merchants are basically directly connected with the Sanyin Gang.

Zheng Xunrui is keenly aware of these situations reflected in the materials, Cao Yun's shady operation has been running for many years, with its own defense system, or fixed rules, and officials, scholars, doctors and businessmen are also cautious, and will never contact all the Cao Gang personnel generally, and their interests will only be realized by a very small number of people.

The San'in Gang is the key, once this breakthrough is opened, they will be able to truly control the scholars and merchants in the south.

The leader of the Shanyin Gang is a scholar, and he is a scholar with a meritorious reputation, and he is a student of Huai'an Mansion, which has been confirmed. It's not easy to get behind it.

Therefore, Zheng Xunrui wants to personally interrogate the leader of the Sanyin Gang, he wants to pry open this person's mouth and get what he wants, this process may be very complicated and requires wisdom and patience.

It is precisely because of such thoughts. Zheng Xunrui did not rush to interrogate the leader of the San'in Gang.

When Yang Aizhen entered the Donglin Book House, there was a strange look on her face.

Yang Aizhen will also not be blocked, after the soldiers waiting outside the door saw Yang Aizhen coming, they had already flashed to the side, they were the family members of the governor, if they still stupidly came forward to ask, it was wrong with their heads.

Zheng Xunrui has no objection to his family coming to Donglin Book House to find him, he is not as rigid as some people, and no family member can enter his office. What is not allowed to inquire about the affairs of the Governor's Palace, etc.

Seeing Yang Aizhen's strange expression, Zheng Xunrui was also strange.

"Aizhen, what's the matter?"

"Husband, my mother is here in Huai'an."

Zheng Xunrui didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a while, before he understood what Yang Aizhen said, and why Yang Aizhen's expression was so strange.

After Yang Aizhen married Zheng Xunrui, her identity has completely changed. The names have been changed, and it should be said that it has nothing to do with the Qinhuai River. Besides, any Qinglou woman who came out of the Qinhuai River, once she got rid of her original identity, would never mention the past, and she was unwilling to let anyone know, on the one hand, she was afraid that she would be despised by others, and on the other hand, she was unwilling to discredit her husband's family. And Zheng Xunrui's identity is different, he is already a high-ranking official of the second rank of the imperial court, a dignified governor of Caoyun, if outsiders know that among his wives, someone used to be a Qinglou woman. The impact is certainly not good.

Thinking about these things clearly, a smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

He doesn't care much about such things, a person can't completely decide his origin, but he can work hard to change his fate, as for those who like to talk behind their backs, either they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, or they are pedantic readers, these people's opinions don't need to be particularly cared about.

"Oh, Mother Xu is here, has she already arrived in the backyard?"

Yang Aizhen nodded, her expression became relaxed, she didn't see the slightest contempt and disgust from Zheng Xunrui's attitude, which made her the most relieved.

"Mother Xu is here, and she is a distinguished guest at home."

Zheng Xunrui stood up as he spoke, packed up the paperwork on the table, and prepared to leave the bookstore.

"Husband is still busy with official business, go to the backyard, mother can wait."

"Aizhen, this is not hospitality, Mother Xu came from afar, and there is an unusual relationship between you and me, if you are neglected, it is my fault."

Xu Fo's family was waiting in Yang Aizhen's room.

Several years have passed, Zheng Xunrui's identity has changed dramatically, he is already a high-ranking official in the imperial court, holding heavy power, Xu Fo's family came to visit this time, and his heart was apprehensive, after all, she is just a Qinglou woman, on the surface, she is the shopkeeper of Shengze's homecoming, but this identity is disgraceful in officialdom, she has adopted Yang Aizhen before, although when Yang Aizhen was given to Zheng Xunrui, she did not receive a penny of silver, which is considered a favor, but this is a taboo thing and needs to be kept secret.

Xu Fo's family came to visit this time, and she was forced to do so, she didn't know if she would be able to see Zheng Xunrui, and she came to Huai'an Mansion City to keep it secret, and she didn't let anyone know, and she lived in Huai'an Mansion City for three days before she found an opportunity to contact Yang Aizhen.

When Yang Aizhen appeared in the bedroom again, Xu Fojia's face was a little pale, but when she saw Yang Aizhen's expression, she knew that she could see Zheng Xunrui.

"Mom comes with me, and my husband is waiting in the study."

"This is so abrupt, is it delaying the adult's business?"

"Mom, don't think about it so much, my husband heard that my mother was coming, and I immediately went back to the backyard."

Entering the study, Xu Fojia was cautious, and when he saw Zheng Xunrui smiling, his face finally had a bloody color.

"Mother Xu is a distinguished guest, how can she come to Huai'an, and she doesn't greet in advance."

"The slave family doesn't dare, the slave family is bothering the adult."

After Yang Aizhen made tea, she turned around and left the study, Yang Aizhen, who was smart in ice and snow, knew very well that Xu Fo's family came to visit, there must be something to discuss, and she still had to avoid it, if it was not a big deal, Xu Fo's family would tell her directly, but she never said it, so it can be seen that Zheng Xunrui needs to be found.

After Yang Aizhen left the study, Zheng Xunrui's face was a little stricter.

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Mother Xu won't come to Huai'an lightly, this time I came, there must be something, I might as well say it openly and honestly, if I can help, I will spare no effort."

The reason why Zheng Xunrui is a little stricter is also to control his own thoughts, I haven't seen him for a few years, the charm shown by Xu Fojia is more mature, this mature atmosphere is not possessed by Wen Manshan and others, this is the breath of seeing the sea, and it has a stronger temptation for men.

Xu Fojia was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"When the adults say so, the slave family is welcome, the slave family is here to intercede for a person."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, did not speak, in fact, he vaguely guessed, from Nanjing to Huai'an, more than 400 miles, there is nothing special, the Xu Buddha family will never come lightly, the Xu Buddha family is a smart person, it is too late to avoid it at this time, how can it be possible to come to visit publicly.

"The slave family is interceding for a person from the Cao Gang, and this person is Xu Jikuang, the leader of the Shanyin Gang."

Zheng Xunrui's brows furrowed slightly, he never imagined that the Xu Fo family would actually intercede for Xu Jikuang, the leader of the Shanyin Gang.

"Oh, what is the relationship between Mother Xu and Xu Jikuang, if it's convenient, please tell me."

"Xu Jikuang is a distant cousin of the slave family."

Zheng Xunrui's face showed a meaningful smile, Xu Fojia and Yang Aizhen are from the same place, that is, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, but Xu Jikuang is from Huai'an, although they are both surnamed Xu, but the two are far apart, if it is said to be a relative, the possibility is not large, this is not hundreds of years later, the flow of people is so frequent.

"Does Mother Xu have any scruples, it's hard to tell the truth, Mother Xu's plea, I must consider it, but I also have to know the reason, otherwise I can't say it."

Xu Fojia's face flushed slightly.

"The adult is aware of everything, and the slave family is willing to tell the truth, but the slave family has a request, that is, I hope to be able to meet Xu Jikuang, and I also ask the adult to fulfill it."

Zheng Xunrui's eyes became deeper, he didn't interrogate Xu Jikuang for a long time, just thought of the people and things that might be involved behind Xu Jikuang, and now Xu Fo's family intercedes for Xu Jikuang, which has revealed the tip of the iceberg.

Don't underestimate the ability of the Xu Buddha family, although it is said that he is in the Qinhuai River, but there are a lot of dignitaries and nobles who can be contacted, it can be said with certainty that the Xu Buddha family came to intercede, not its original intention, there is someone behind the instigation, the person who instructed it, knows the relationship between the Xu Buddha family and him Zheng Xunrui, which has shown that the person who commanded the person is not simple.

Zheng Xunrui didn't speak for a long time, and Xu Fojia's expression became nervous again.

"Xu's mother's request, I can't refuse, I agreed to this matter, but there are a few words, I want to say that in front, Xu Jikuang is not simple, a famous scholar, willing to become the leader of the Cao Gang, this is not something that ordinary people can do, I arrived in Huai'an, the Cao Gang has done it, involving many people's nerves, Xu's mother was entrusted by others, came to intercede for Xu Jikuang, I am afraid that it is one of the links."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Xu Fojia couldn't help nodding, obviously approving.

"I agreed to Xu's mother's request, Xu's mother also has to think about me, when I see Xu Jikuang, persuade a lot, some things can not be done, once you do it, you will have to pay the price, it is best to say it quickly, explain the reason, if Xu Jikuang is not willing to say anything in front of me, then I have no way to treat it kindly, I am afraid that I will live up to Xu's mother's plea."

Xu Fojia stood up and made a blessing salute to Zheng Xunrui.

"What the adults mean, the slave family understands, and the slave family will definitely persuade Xu Jikuang, don't worry."

"Okay, Mother Xu, let's prepare, meet Xu Jikuang tomorrow, half an hour's time, it should be enough." (To be continued......)
