Cloud City.

Shao family.

Shao Xiaoling looked at the urgent letter from Maicheng, and she muttered, "Is this not a blessing?" ”

Shao Qi, who was beside him, asked, "Family Master, is it bad news?" ”

Shao Xiaoling said in a deep voice: "Maicheng Wharf, I won't let you go." ”

"Don't let you go?"

Shao Qi was a little surprised.

"Maicheng County ordered Wu Luo to write a letter, saying that an order was issued from above to strictly investigate the waterway."

"What can I do then...... Shao Qi hurriedly exclaimed, "Ours are all big ships." ”

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if the people build a big ship with more than three masts, they will cut off their heads and show them to the public, and the whole family will be filled with troops.

And the Shao family's ship happens to be a three-masted.

It was really inconvenient to transport goods by small boat, so the Shao family secretly built a big ship and dotted up and down.

Who hasn't taken the benefits of the Shao family from these docks?

People also turn a blind eye to the Shao family's big ship.

But now he suddenly said that the top should strictly inspect the waterways.

If the Shao family is a little careless, they will have to fall to the ground.

Shao Qi felt that the matter was a little serious, and he hesitated: "Family master, if the upper authorities have to strictly investigate, it is not only the Maicheng Wharf that cannot go, but also the other wharves that cannot go!" ”

"This law is for fear that someone will go to sea to do business......," Shao Xiaoling muttered, "I only transport darts in the Yangtze River area, and I was originally safe, but who knew that this disaster would come." ”

Shao Qi sighed and said, "Family master, presumably the imperial court is afraid that someone will sail into the sea. But in any case, this is a disaster for the Shao family. ”

Shao Xiaoling nodded and said: "Switching to a small boat is time-consuming, laborious and costly, and I don't know how long this turmoil will pass." ”

She stood up, walked back and forth in the house for a while, and said sincerely to Shao Qi: "Shao Qi, my father always said that there was Wolong in the past, and there is Shao Qi today. He compared your talent to Zhuge Liang and said that you are the biggest hole card hidden by my Shao family. I'm confused and flustered right now, why don't you come and tell me, what does this mean? ”

Shao Qi analyzed: "Don't worry, the head of the family, think about it first, who is the person who sent the letter?" ”

"Wu Luonian."

"Who is this Wu Luonian?"

"Maicheng County Order."

"What is he capable of?"

Shao Xiaoling pondered: "His father has a good relationship with Liu Jin. ”

"Master of the family, you think, there is no letter from other places, but only Wu Luolai has a letter, what does this mean?"

Shao Xiaoling sighed and said, "Of course I don't know, don't sell it, tell me quickly." ”

Shao Qi said with a smile: "Wu Luonian has connections in the capital, so he will learn the news in advance." He is writing to you right now, on the one hand, to show off his ability and to appear that he is better informed than others. On the other hand, he wants to tell you that if you give some benefits, maybe he can help you tide over the difficulties. ”

"So that's ......," Shao Xiaoling said in surprise, "Is this true?" ”

Shao Qi nodded and said, "Of course, why would he just send a letter?" ”

"No wonder my father wants you to assist me......" Shao Xiaoling said with emotion, "With you by my side, why should I worry that the Shao family can't be rich?" ”

Shao Qi waved his hand again and again, full of wry smiles: "Don't say anything about the head of the family, Shao Qi is not interested in being Zhuge Liang, he just wants to be by the side of the head of the family and assist with peace of mind." The strength of the Shao family is my wish. ”

"Tell me, then, what should I do next?"

"Set off for Maicheng...... Shao Qi said seriously, "Family Master, I guess Wu Luonian should just write to you, what does this mean?" ”

"Huh?"

"Although the Shao family is the most powerful force in the vicinity, it is inevitable that there will be competition. In the Yangtze River area, there are other forces that move darts, but each one is not as good as my Shao family. But together, they are no small force. ”

"yes, they're a headache for me."

"It's different now...... Shao Qi said with a smile, "If Wu Luonian only communicates with the Shao family, we will give Wu Luonian some more benefits and urgently change it to a small boat." Wait for a strict investigation from above, and other forces will be dealt with strictly, only my Shao family is as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Shao Xiaoling slapped the table excitedly, but accidentally used an inch of strength and collapsed the table, she said excitedly: "The Yangtze River area, my Shao family is the only one!" ”

Shao Qi touched his beard and said with a smile: "The child can be taught." ”

"I'll get ready to leave now, and you will go with me!"

Shao Xiaoling hurriedly ran out, while Shao Qi walked to the door and looked at the sky.

He muttered to himself and sighed with emotion: "Soldiers, treacherous ways." Life is like chess, if you are not careful, you will lose all the games. Although the head of the family is a hero, he acts recklessly and does not know strategy. I only hope that my strategy of smiling and arrogant through the ages can be exhausted, work hard, and plan a great cause for the head of the family. ”

Dadong Mountain.

Wu Luonian held the wine glass and asked Master Zhao, "Next, what should I do?" ”

"Shao Xiaoling will definitely ......come," Master Zhao said with a smile, "I wrote to her, saying that the waterways should be strictly inspected." As the head of the Shao family, she will definitely come to investigate the information in person, and I will set up an ambush halfway. ”

"How?"

"Find someone to pretend to be a thief and take her down. After letting the thieves pretend, they learned that she was Shao Xiaoling, and shouted that her friend Zhang Xiaolei had discovered a silver mine in Dadong Mountain and made a fortune, so Zhang Xiaolei used the silver mine to ransom! ”

Wu Luonian said seriously: "What about after that? ”

After that, Zhang Xiaolei had no master, so he could only come to the adults for help. And then we went on and so and so ......and so and

"I understood it before, but what does it mean to be so, so, and so? What is the deep meaning hidden in these simple eight words? ”

"It's just that we haven't thought about it yet, everything will wait and see, and act when the opportunity arises, anyway, Shao Xiaoling is in our hands, are you afraid that there is no way?"

"That's right! By the way, where are the bandits hiding? ”

"My lord, I have hidden the bandits in the Feiyun Slope between Cloud City and Mai City......"

In front of Feiyun Slope.

This time, Shao Xiaoling traveled and didn't dare to be discovered by other dart forces, so she only hurriedly brought Shao Qi and a few dart masters.

"Master of the house, there is Feiyun Slope ahead...... a dart master said, "Feiyun Slope is often infested by bandits, I heard the sound of chopping bamboo next to me, and I wanted to ask about the situation." ”

"Go ahead."

He dismounted and walked into the bamboo forest for a while.

Not long after, he saw a farmer and asked the man, "Brother, we are going to cross Feiyun Slope, is it safe over there?" ”

The farmer replied, "If you see a gang of bandits hiding in Feiyunpo in the morning, you might as well go to the left and walk through a forest to get around Feiyunpo, but it will take you half an hour longer." ”

"Thank you."

The dart master hurriedly came back and reported the situation to Shao Xiaoling.

After Shao Xiaoling heard this, she nodded and said, "Then, let's take a detour." ”

"Let's ...... slowly," Shao Qi said with a smile, "Let's go to Feiyunpo." ”

"Oh? Why go? The dart master asked.

Shao Qi sighed: "Don't you think that the bamboo farmer appeared too coincidentally?" ”

"What does Seventh Brother mean?"

"Soldier, treacherous, he gave you a trick to attack the west, but you didn't even see such a shoddy method."

"Is that so?"

"Hahaha, young man, learn more!"
