Xiao Rui touched his nose and smiled a little awkwardly.

It's not that he doesn't know that those deceitful words are not clever, but at that time, he hurriedly passed by the door of the Xie family's old mansion, and suddenly saw that the Xie family got on the boat and was about to drive away, most of them were going in the direction of the Xie family's corner.

The few grain boats that came out of Huzhou City, I don't know how many spies. In order to prevent the news from leaking, Jin Shanwei and the others must strictly guard each other, and then screen them afterwards, and the two sides will naturally have conflicts. For the sake of the overall situation, even if the military people on the Huzhou side are offended, the commander will not hesitate to do so. Anyway, when the robbers are caught, no matter what the people in Huzhou Mansion think, the official can only be grateful to Jin Shanwei.

At that time, they chose a suitable section of the river, there were few boats, and there were no pedestrians on both sides of the river, so the brothers calculated the time, set up checkpoints there, intercepted the passing ships, and sent people to keep watch along the coast, just waiting for the grain ships to enter the trap. The Xie family's boat didn't know it, and suddenly drove over, if it happened to collide, would it be better to intercept it or not? intercepted, it will inevitably offend a local family like the Xie family, and hurt the face of Xie Pu and Zhushan Academy; If the news leaks, their actions may fail, and who can be held responsible?

Xiao Rui felt that more things were better than less, and he would rather coax the little girl than stop the Xie family's boat. In a hurry, he couldn't think of any flawless excuses, so he had to make up a random one.

At that time, he still thought that although this excuse was not very appropriate, it was enough to deal with an ordinary smart woman. Waiting for the idle boudoir girl, when she heard that there were extremely vicious homeless people who wanted to rob and kill her, she was already frightened and panicked, where did she have the leisure to study his words carefully? Even if she could figure out the contradictions afterwards, Jin Shanwei would have already done the right thing. Where did he think that Xie Mulin noticed that something was wrong on the spot?

But Xiao Rui didn't feel too surprised. As early as when he first met this girl, he knew that she was a keen person. Otherwise, how could she carefully discover the conspiracy of the Cao family when her home was copied, her father was in prison, and the family was in danger, and she didn't say a word, and endured until she saw her father when she visited the prison, and then revealed the inside story? He was also confused, he underestimated this girl too much, and he turned out to be ugly.

Although he was a little ugly, Xiao Rui was not angry. It was he who was not kind, and he scared the little girl first, no wonder she choked him in turn. However, there is one thing that he still has to explain: "I'm not just scaring you, our people really found out that the robber did intend to attack the Xie family, and there are similar rumors on the Lin family's side, and they want to borrow the power of the old lady in the second room of your Xie family to attack the Cao family." The Cao family is powerful, the middle palace is stable, and the status of the prince is not so easy to shake. It seems that there is no plan to abolish it today, if the Lin family wants to succeed, they naturally have to win over the heroes of Conglong, otherwise, what can they do with their relatives alone? ”

It can be seen that almost all of the dragon heroes are high and powerful, and they are loyal to the emperor, and they just listen to the emperor's will for the ownership of the prince's position. Even if you really want to fight for the dragon's merit again, you have to look at the bias in the emperor's heart before you can make a choice. Now it is true that the emperor is dissatisfied with the queen and the crown prince, but Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince have no other advantages except for being favored. Lin Zhaoyi is serious and hasn't even earned a concubine position, can they lower their bodies and take the initiative to show goodwill? Even if you want to invest, you have to show sincerity from the second prince and the Lin family first. Therefore, most people are still in a wait-and-see state, and they have no intention of falling to the second prince. On the Lin family's side, they naturally had to find another way to win them over.

It's just that this method of wooing is too good for me. Xie Mulin felt that the people of the Lin family were very good at death, and he was very willing to fulfill their wish to die.

Xiao Rui provided several pieces of information, what kind of remarks someone made at a certain time and place, and who was present at the time to prove it; Someone did something at a certain time and place, just to help the Lin family calculate the Xie family; What is the origin and identity of so-and-so, what is the relationship with the Conglong Gongchen faction, and what news about the Song family has been provided to the Lin family...... And so on and so forth. Through this information, the Song family could easily find out that the Lin family had a conspiracy, and if her father's protégés and old friends intended to retaliate, they also had a basis.

Xiao Rui also told Xie Mulin a secret he heard from his family, saying that Jiao Wenying, the emperor's trusted envoy Jiao Wenying, had rejected the second prince's solicitation not long ago, and reported the matter to the emperor, so that Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince were scolded by the emperor. Therefore, the Lin family is now using this method of tricking people to win over the Conglong heroes, but they are afraid that they don't have good intentions, maybe they want to borrow the power of the Cao family to attack the Conglong heroes in turn. With the temperament of the second prince, he can't do this kind of thing.

The Cao family is actually also a member of the Conglong Gongchen Group, but as a relative, he has always been domineering, so he has a mediocre relationship with other Wenchen generals. In addition, there are also Xiao Guifei and Empress Cao competing for favor in the palace, and Xiao Mingde, the general of the Zhuguo Kingdom, is very popular in the meritorious group, so the Cao family disdains to associate with other people. If the Cao family and Jiao Wenying, the protégé of the Song family and others face each other, and split from the internal strife of the Dragon Gongchen Group, the Lin family will have the opportunity to be the fisherman in the battle between the cranes and mussels.

Xie Mulin listened, and only felt that the second prince and the Lin family behind him were stupid, thinking that they were the center of the world, and they only needed to win over people once, and they had to bow down, otherwise they would not give him face, and he would have to take revenge? This was the case with the Zhao family before, and now the same is true with Jiao Yintai, and the second prince is only a half-grown teenager, so he exudes such a strong aura of Wang Ba, aren't you afraid that you will be ruined in the court? With such an IQ, what position and what kind of heir do you fight? The child is not sensible, why do adults still follow him to mess around?!

Xie Mulin only felt angry and funny, and glanced at Xiao Rui again: "Xiao Ergongzi's family is also from the dragon, right?" Why don't you tell your relatives and friends about this, but instead pass me on the message? I reported the matter to my grandmother, and then my grandmother wrote a letter to the deceased in Beijing, and made a few turns, which was time-consuming and troublesome. ”

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly: "Miss Xie, we also have a lady in our family, and my mother also has a prince, and my father will avoid suspicion in many things, and he doesn't want outsiders to misunderstand." Now that the Cao Lin family is competing with each other, it is a matter of storage, how dare our Xiao family interfere in it? ”

If you can't meddle openly, you can only do things behind your back, right? Xie Mulin still didn't believe that the Xiao family was so innocent. Otherwise, so many people from the surrounding guards can be dispatched, why is it Jinshanwei where Xiao Jiazi is located who came to catch thieves near Pingwang Town?

As soon as Xiao Rui opened his mouth, he directly revealed the trickiness behind the robbery. is so frank, could it be that he wants to use the relationship between the Song family, Jiao Yintai and Xiao Mingde as both Conglong heroes to win over the first two who were calculated by the Lin family? The Song sacrifice wine has passed, but Jiao Yintai is gaining momentum!

Xie Mulin quickly opened the topic: "There is nothing going on the river, right?" I want to send my grandmother back to the clan land. In this old mansion, I will leave a few people to listen to the orders. If the adults of Jinshanwei need it, they can stay here until they leave, and the wounded heroes can also recuperate here. ”

Xiao Rui was stunned, remembering that he did plan to mention the wounded to the Xie family about borrowing land to recuperate, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Xie Mulin had already brought it up, and couldn't help but be a little sneering: "Thank you so much, girl." The Xie family is so gracious, and Jin Shanwei is grateful. ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "I don't need them to be grateful, as long as Xiao Ergongzi speaks, he is less calculating." ”

Xiao Rui laughed dryly, knowing that he was revealing again.
