The atmosphere in the room seemed to be very harmonious.

It's like in a house, the ladies are gossiping.

Xu Qinghuan stretched out his fingers and clasped them, and the sleeve arrow fell from his arm.

The woman couldn't help but say, "You're really not afraid." ”

Xu Qinghuan raised his face: "You don't mean to kill us, so naturally we shouldn't threaten each other like this." ”

The woman couldn't help but say: "Looking at the young lady who is obviously a rich and noble family, how can she look like a businessman from us, who has been exposed to the wind and sun outside all the year round, has seen a lot, and is not afraid of anything." ”

That's thanks to the previous life, as the wife of an ambitious man, I haven't seen any danger, when I was in the northern Xinjiang, I was still talking about a glass of wine one moment, and the next moment I showed my sharp blade.

After experiencing it a few times, she is extremely alert, and if the other party shows murderous intent, she can detect it almost immediately.

And just when she said the words of the White Dragon King, what she saw in the expressions of the woman and the maid was indifference and defensiveness.

The White Dragon King has created enough momentum for himself, that is, the followers will subconsciously respect when they hear the "White Dragon King", even if they deliberately cover it up, they will show more or less clues, not to mention that she suddenly mentioned it, so that they did not have any preparation, so that she was more sure that her previous judgment was not wrong, this woman is a maritime businessman.

The woman looked out the door and ordered, "Stand down." ”

When the nursing home outside heard this, they slowly dispersed.

Xu Qingan has been paying attention to the movements around her, even if the woman speaks like this, she still doesn't dare to relax at all.

The woman and Xu Qinghuan looked at each other: "I am a maritime merchant in Changzhou, and people who know each other on weekdays call me Seventh Lady, and this eldest lady can also call me like this." ”

The Seventh Lady took a sip of tea and said, "The eldest lady caught Xie Yun and mentioned the White Dragon King, it seems that she knows a lot about the affairs of Changzhou." ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "Madame must know about the Zhang family's smuggling case. ”

The Seventh Lady put down the teacup in her hand and immediately realized something, she looked at Xu Qinghuan for a moment, and then looked at Xu Qing'an next to her: "You are the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyi's Mansion?" ”

When she came back from a business trip, she heard that Zhang Yucong was detained by the imperial court, and the smuggling of the Zhang family and the White Dragon King was revealed, and the maritime merchants in Changzhou were all happy, but she didn't think so, the court was still the court, and most of the Zhang family's defeat this time was also because of the conflict of interests.

What she was really worried about was who would take over Changzhou after the Zhang family left.

The Zhang family is profiteering, what are the people who succeed the Zhang family?

Sure enough, Xie Yun came forward and began to encircle the maritime merchants and the big clans in Changzhou, and there were already rumors in Changzhou, and this time the Zhang family's smuggling case was successfully investigated, all of which were the credit of Xie Yun and those big clans.

Seeing that Changzhou was going to war again, I don't know what the situation was, and after being forced by the Zhang family over the years, the strength of many maritime merchants was not as good as before, and they could no longer withstand the slightest turmoil, so some people began to be ready to move, wanting to attach themselves to Xie Yun and others, and someone would take over Changzhou in the future, and they would have a place to live.

Businessmen inevitably interact with the government, and she is not one of those Confucian who strictly abides by etiquette, she also uses silver to inquire about news, bribe officials, and judge the gains and losses of interests, otherwise she will not be able to gain a foothold.

But she knows that because of temporary interests, she is casually attached to others, and she may have endless disasters in the future, giving her life to others, driving by others, against her own will, and it is better to be a beggar on the street than to end up like this.

Xie Yun looked dignified, she didn't do a few things on the surface, she could only use some means behind her back, she always felt that this person had ill intentions, and she was afraid that it was more dangerous than Zhang Yucong, who was greedy for money.

She persuaded the familiar maritime merchants not to make a decision easily, but they seemed to have made up their minds, and at this time the news of Xie Yun's wife's death came out, this incident came too suddenly, she always felt that there was something strange in it, and sure enough, Xie Yun's younger brother found something suspicious when he came to mourn, and invited the yamen to conduct a door-to-door autopsy, and determined that Xie Yun's wife was poisoned and died.

This Xie Yun is quite famous in Changzhou, and he has a very close relationship with his wife on weekdays, no one suspects Xie Yun, but she thinks that this matter is Xie Yun's doing, so people secretly stare at Xie Yun's every move.

After Xie Yuan left Changzhou, Xie Yun also quietly followed with people, there was such a big thing in the Xie family, and the spiritual shed at home had not been removed, but Xie Yun had such a move, obviously he had scruples about Xie Yuan, she suspected that Xie Yuan had evidence in his hand and could expose Xie Yun's positive eyes.

As she had guessed......

What she didn't expect was that Xie Yun was imprisoned so quickly, and everything was done so simply, not to mention Xie Yun, she, a bystander, hadn't come back to her senses yet.

The Seventh Lady lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, Xu Qinghuan didn't bother, let alone deny the Seventh Lady's speculation.

The Seventh Lady raised her eyes for a while: "I want to thank Miss Xu, Xie Yun was arrested and imprisoned by the imperial court, and the people of Changzhou also know his true nature, and those who have always admired him can also turn back." ”

Xu Qinghuan didn't answer, but said, "How much does the Seventh Lady know about the White Dragon King?" ”

The Seventh Lady said: "I have been trading on the sea for a long time, and I have heard of the names of these pirates, and the White Dragon King has been quite prestigious on the sea in the past two years," she paused for a moment when she said this, "I returned to Changzhou in a hurry this time, because I heard that the White Dragon King recruited pirates at sea and attacked Changzhou with him." ”

Xu Qinghuan was somewhat surprised, she had talked to Song Chengxuan about this matter before, and deduced that the White Dragon King would never expose his strength before the start of the war.

Unless, the White Dragon King made other arrangements, these were just his means to confuse Da Zhou.

A little pirate, who dared to calculate Da Zhou like this, who gave him the confidence.

Xu Qinghuan suddenly thought that from the beginning, she seemed to have ignored one point, the White Dragon King stirred up such a storm in the capital, and someone needed to arrange it carefully.

In the past, she thought that the people behind Wang Yun were using the White Dragon King to make trouble, but she didn't think about whether there was collusion between them.

What can Zhang Zhenren find out when he goes to Taiping, and will it be dangerous?

"Seventh Madam," Xu Qinghuan said, "Since you are suspicious of Xie Yun, do you know what Xie Yun is doing in Taiping?" ”

The Seventh Lady pondered carefully: "I just heard that some maritime merchants quietly went to Tai'an's house, which can be regarded as avoiding trouble." ”

"In this way, it seems that Taiping should be very chaotic, there are so many people who go suddenly, and it is not easy for the government to verify the household registration, in case anyone is mixed in, it will be difficult to find out for a while."

The Seventh Lady was stunned: "Miss Xu is afraid that there will be people from the White Dragon King mixed in." ”

Yes, everyone's eyes are on the sea, who will pay attention to the Taiping Mansion at this time, if she really guesses it, it can prove that the people behind Wang Yun have colluded with the White Dragon King.

Or maybe they are people in the same boat at all, and this time they should join forces inside and outside, holding Changzhou in their hands, and if this is the case, she may be able to catch them all at once.

……

The Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Su Kun came out of the study and walked straight into the main house.

The eldest princess of Huayang had just finished freshening up, leaning on the couch to read a book, and under the light, her side face was even more moving, and Su Kun stood there silent for a long time.

The eldest princess of Huayang had already discovered Su Kun, and seeing that he had not spoken, she raised her eyes: "Why is the husband standing there?" ”

Su Kun smiled slightly: "I thought I could accompany you more when I came back this time, but I didn't expect to leave again after receiving the order." ”

The eldest princess of Huayang was stunned: "Where are you going?" ”

Su Kun said: "The emperor ordered me to go to Changzhou to supervise the war. ”
