Xue Ling was curious about what kind of big man was coming from Xiao Zhi's side, so he pretended not to know anything, and deliberately came to the yamen to take a walk, which was called "inspection work", which Xiao Zhi also thought of, but the prince is now settled in the inner courtyard, and he doesn't plan to let Xue Ling see the prince at this time, otherwise the next scene will be meaningless.

"Lord Xiao, has anything happened in the Yamen recently? The Guo family has also been deeply rooted in Lihong County for many years, and the official is also very worried about what kind of revenge Lord Xiao will suffer in the future! When Xue Ling said this, he looked so concerned and caring, I don't know how kind he really thought.

Xiao Zhi is also familiar with this kind of person who sees people and talks about people, and there are more people in Kyoto City who are more hypocritical than Xue Ling.

"Thank you so much Lord Xue for your concern." Xiao Zhi said with a smile, and then asked Xue Ling to sit down first, and asked, "I don't know what the adults think about the official errand recently, or what are the shortcomings, and I hope the adults can give more advice." "Who wouldn't say pretty things? The two of them were talking to each other.

Xue Ling frowned, and then said with a smile: "Lord Xiao's words are serious, this county order of Lihong County is not good, but Lord Xiao has just arrived and can get the reputation of the people, which is something that no one else can do, it is really terrifying!" "Xiao Zhi obviously wants to talk to him, Xiao Zhi is a smart person, he suddenly visited, could it be that he really cared about his subordinates?

Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "Lord Xue has been in Shuobei Prefecture for many years, and he naturally understands more than the lower officials, so I still hope that Lord Xue can mention more in the future." ”

After talking around a few times, Xue Ling also didn't have the patience to continue to talk to Xiao Zhi, so he said, "Is there someone from the yamen?" I haven't heard of any visits lately! "And he can bring so many regular troops, even the Qincha should not have such a big battle.

Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "It's coming, it's just ...... It's also inconvenient to say. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xue Ling hurriedly asked, "What's inconvenient about this?" If Lord Xiao needs help, I can also help you! ”

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "It's really inconvenient to say, Lord Xue should not ask, if something happens, I can't bear it." ”

Being said by Xiao Zhi, Xue Ling felt that this matter might be more serious than he thought, Xiao Zhi was also from Kyoto City, and he had seen the world, but he was so cautious, was he really unable to bear it, or was he still playing tricks?

But Xiao Zhi didn't say it in detail, he couldn't ask anything, so he wouldn't be here to spend it, so it was better to go back quickly and let people check what big names had come to Shuobei recently.

Sending Xue Ling away, Xiao Zhi smiled, this Xue Ling soon knew what the one inside was doing, and he also guessed what Xue Ling would do after that, but now he didn't plan to do anything to Xue Ling, and he couldn't do anything, a Guo Linjiang is so difficult, Xue Ling will only be more difficult to do.

Here Xi Hongdou came out of the kitchen, and now she can't go out, and she is also idle at home, so she directly found the ingredients to make a big pot of steamed cakes, which she hasn't made for a long time, and when she smells the fragrance again, Rue Xiang can't stand it first.

"It's so fragrant!" Rue Xiang said that Xi Hongdou also made this steamed cake when she first lived in Xiao's house, but then she was busy, so she never did it again, and when she saw her again, she was almost drooling out.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly picked up a piece for Ruxiang, and then picked up a few plates, and asked Rue Xiang to give everyone a point, and kept two plates for himself, one plate was reserved for Xiao Zhi, and the other plate had to be honored by the prince.

When Xiao Zhi returned to the room, he smiled when he saw the steamed cake on the table, if it weren't for Xi Hongdou's insistence, he really wanted Xi Hongdou to be at home all the time, and it was good to have nothing to cook and eat.

Xi Hongdou said: "What did the prince say? She guessed that Cao Guan's side also gave a "slander", and she didn't know if the prince would be interested in suppressing bandits.

Xiao Zhi said: "The prince is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions now, and he will definitely take care of it, otherwise your grain will not be transported, and his mission to Lingbei will be smashed. "He has no available troops, and now he relies on the two thousand guards brought by the prince, where are those rabble bandits?

Xi Hongdou was a little worried, so he asked, "Will it be just temporary?" The prince's soldiers can't always be stationed here, and when they leave, these bandits will resurge and resume their old business, and I'm afraid they will be busy in vain. ”

"As long as it can be dispersed, those who go to be bandits are nothing more than rushing for money, a group of bandits, how can there be any morality? When the time comes, I will come to dig out the old nest, and when the time comes, those bandit leaders will be poor bastards one by one, who is willing to follow them to beg for a living? Xiao Zhi said: "And I have to find a way to make the city guard in Xue Ling's hands for my use, and the prince came at the right time, although things will not be too smooth after that, but this is also the only chance." "If you miss the opportunity, as soon as the prince leaves, he really won't be able to set up any stage.

Although Xi Hongdou didn't know all of Xiao Zhi's plans, he still trusted Xiao Zhi, and since he decided to do it, he would definitely go all out.

On the other hand, Xue Ling began to let people inquire, everyone who was related to the imperial court, even if they were passing by, had to pay attention, and finally heard that the prince was going to Lingbei Prefecture for disaster relief, and then thought of Xiao Zhi's conservative attitude that day, and concluded in his heart that the person who went to the yamen was definitely the prince.

"Oh no, this is even worse than a private interview with Weifu!" Xue Ling said, and he lives in Xiao Zhi's, in case there is any slander, which makes the prince feel that there is something wrong with him, and if he can't get it, he will really lose his black yarn hat!

"Master, what should I do?" Master Zhao asked, he is a "dog-headed military advisor", and now that he meets such a big person, he has no idea what to do.

Xue Ling said: "I can only stand still, just don't know anything!" After speaking, he also instructed Master Zhao: "Tell the people below, don't do anything about being caught in pigtails, who has to do something amazing at this time, it will really lose your head!" ”

Master Zhao hurriedly went to do it, Xue Ling's face was really not good-looking, Xiao Zhi was digging a pit for him! But just waiting, I'm afraid it's useless, and now I have to take the initiative to make Xiao Zhi dare not talk nonsense!

Here, Sister-in-law Liu finally recruited a full man, so she took Xi Hongdou to learn the craft. Xi Hongdou set up the charcoal box at home, from how to cut the meat skewers, and then how to bake them all taught, and then let the two guys practice, the two guys are also quite clever, and they learn very quickly, but there are also roasted ones that are not very good-looking, so they were taken to the table by Xi Hongdou, and they can eat meat quickly, regardless of whether the roast looks good or not.

The two guys studied for an afternoon and finally became a teacher, but the prince was also moved by the smell of meat in the courtyard, but because of his identity, it was not easy to go over and join in with others.

Xu Min accompanied him this time, and said: "Lord Xiao's daughter-in-law is not stupid, the prince is not impatient." Sure enough, at dinner, Xi Hongdou roasted a large plate and asked Liu Fu to send it over, and the prince felt better.

"This spice should be used by the nobles, and it is amazing that it is used to make food." The prince said as he ate.

Xu Min said: "There is also a stall of the young grandmother of the Xiao family in Kyoto City, and the common people can afford to eat, not limited to the aristocracy. ”

The prince was surprised: "Can the common people afford it?" That's not a low price, right? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Grandma Xiao Shao grows her own spices, and the cost is naturally low, so the barbecue shop in Kyoto City is the only one, and no one else can do it." Xu Min said.

The prince thinks it's magical, Xiao Zhi's daughter-in-law has also heard of it, and everyone knows about stepping on the nail board to sue the royal court for the Xiao family, but now I see, Xiao Zhi's daughter-in-law is really not an ordinary person.

After the meal, Xi Hongdou began to calculate, the guy has already led the meeting, and it will be open for trial operation from tomorrow, and she can't come forward in person, so it all depends on Sister-in-law Liu to support it first.

The next day, Sister-in-law Liu was trembling all day long, and as soon as the barbecue stall came out, she was always worried that the people of the Guo family would come to make trouble again, and if she ran into the stall again, she and the two guys would not be able to resist.

Xi Hongdou was also worried, so he still pretended to be a servant and went to the shop to have a look. Business is not bad, some people have already started to buy kebabs, and some people think it is novel, they have never seen or eaten it, and they are all waiting and watching. It wasn't until it was dark that the stall was closed, and there was no chaos, and Sister-in-law Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Guo Linjiang heard that Xi Hongdou's rice shop was open and the business was good, but his face was not good, and he couldn't rob people under house arrest, and he also made his family's business prosperous, which ...... What a slap in the face!

The porter hurried over at this time and said, "Master, Master Zhao is here, saying that he wants to invite the master to Taishou Mansion!" ”

Guo Linjiang snorted coldly: "This old fox is very powerful with the mud, and he doesn't do anything practical!" "Otherwise, Guo Xiaochun wouldn't have died!

The housekeeper persuaded: "We can't afford to be provoked if we are too guarded." "Shinong businessmen, businessmen are the lowest, even if they are rich, in front of the officials, they are nothing, and they can't offend that Xue Ling at this time.

"Tell Master Zhao that I'm coming." Guo Linjiang asked the porter to reply, thinking about what Xue Ling thought.

When Guo Linjiang arrived at the Taishou Mansion, Xue Ling said in a thoughtful manner: "This is really a big incident, Guo Yuanwai, that Xiao Zhi has moved a big rescue, and it is estimated that the first one is to attack your Guo family!" ”

Xue Ling's idea is simple, now that the prince is here, he is not easy to do, even if it is not aimed at the prince, as long as there is a move, it is easy to be suspected that it is not good for the prince, so this matter still has to let the Guo family go!
