Chapter 073: There is still a bit of a gap in rank
Qiao Gaoshi was stopped as soon as he left Qiao's mansion.
"Virtuous nephew stays!"
The Qiao family has a big business, and there are many high-ranking officials, merchants, and families who are good friends with it, especially during this period of time, after Concubine Ci came to the throne, there were many more visitors who came to walk around and make friends.
But the Qiao family is not a generalization for everyone, and there are many people who are pawns for them.
For example, the person in front of him, although he called Qiao Gaoshi a virtuous nephew, in the eyes of the other party, he was just a vassal who could be used.
"Uncle Sun, the little nephew has something important now, can you talk about it another day?" At this time, Qiao Gaoshi's face was very bad, and he was completely enduring it so that he did not lose his demeanor.
After planning for a long time, he thought that the ambush had failed, and the elite soldiers he had asked for from his home were all wiped out. Not only that, but he sent people who were watching at the city gate back to report that Liu Fenggu's team had entered the city in good spirits and neatly, and there was no indication that he had just experienced a big battle.
The martial arts Elder Yin also disappeared and did not come back.
The gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides is so big!
Not only that, but the man he sent to inspect the battlefield afterwards reported that the place had been disposed of, and all the corpses had been burned to ashes, and it was impossible to count the number of people.
For their own dead soldier Qiao Gaoshi, they were confident that they would not leak any information, but those of the Zhang family and Elder Yin were not sure.
These are all hidden dangers, if Liu Fenggu is caught and made a witness, it will be a big trouble for the Zhang family's Qiao family.
The bad news is not only this, during this time he has been making a fuss about the collusion between Ye Lanjin and the Feiyan thief, and at the beginning things were all developing according to his plan, but gradually he was a little out of control.
Now that Mrs. Liu's affairs are all over the city, he always feels that someone is behind him.
In addition to the Zhang Mansion, which was really visited by the Feiyan thieves at the beginning, Qiao Gaoshi specially contacted four people who had purchased treasures in the Treasure Pavilion. They went to report that there was a thief in the house, and everyone would intentionally or unintentionally reveal the news that the treasure bought back by the Treasure Pavilion was stolen, which made people have to suspect Ye Lanjin.
The one who appeared in front of him at this time was one of the "lost owners".
Sun Wuxian's grandfather was a shopkeeper under the Qiao family, although he was not a house slave in the strict sense, but his descendants have also been headed by the Qiao family for so many years, as if they were attached to the Qiao family.
This Sun Wuxian is also a family with small assets in Linshui, he once bought a fine jade bracelet in the Treasure Pavilion, which was naturally "stolen" two days ago.
"Hyun... Young Master Qiao, something is wrong! Sun Wuxian also saw that Qiao Gaoshi's face was wrong, but the matter was urgent, and he had to say it. The Smoke Ink Emerald Bracelet has been stolen! ”
Hearing this, Qiao Gao was even more irritable.
Isn't this nonsense, the whole Linshui knows that the jade bracelet was lost, or the news that he personally sent someone for a walk.
I don't have time to rub around here, Qiao Gaoshi is in a hurry to go to the welcome building now, and the loss of the Lucky Beast Eagle in the city is a little unsettling in this sensitive period, and he vaguely feels that there is something related to it.
"Young master, it's really a loss this time!" Sun Wuxian's head was sweating, and he lowered his voice and said with a sad face.
Qiao Gao paused when he got on the horse, frowned and turned back.
"When?"
"I hid it in the dark compartment of the study last night, and when I went to look at it just now, I found that it was empty!"
"Damn..."Qiao Gaoshi scolded secretly, and ordered his subordinates to take the horse away, and took Sun Wuxian back to Qiao's mansion and went straight to the study.
"This sister is so kind, and it is fate to meet. It looks like I'm older than you, so why don't you call me sister? With a soft smile on her face, Su Di suddenly walked to Bai Lian's side, and reached out to take her hand.
Bai Lian was stunned by the woman's sudden enthusiasm, and there was a little accident in this stunned effort.
She suddenly felt her arm being tugged, and she was about to fall forward on her feet. Fortunately, she stabilized her body in time so that she did not fall in full view.
But there was a cry of pain in her ears, and when Bai Lian came back to her senses, she found that Su Di had fallen to the ground.
Bai Lian blinked innocently, and then suddenly reacted and squatted down in a bit of a panic, tears flowing faster than Su Di!
"Sister, are you alright?" Asked in a trembling voice in a whisper, Bai Lian's face was full of distress and concern, "This ground is so hard, is my sister hurt?" ”
Su Di was also a little confused by Bai Lian's reaction.
She hasn't said anything yet, how can this girl get into the play faster than her?!
"Sister... Girl, do you have any opinions about my sister, you, why are you pushing me..."Taking a deep breath, Su Di's face rose a little surprised and hurt, and said incomprehensibly and sadly.
Hehe, these routines are all leftovers of her play.
