Chapter 36: Cooperation
"Mother, you are really fighting today!" Zhan Yunxi blinked his wet cat's eyes, with a look of admiration and adoration.
Lin Wangge's jade finger tapped on Zhan Yunxi's forehead, "You little girl will also make fun of her mother." ”
"Mother~~~" Zhan Yunxi smiled flatteringly, like a clingy kitten.
"Okay, okay, it's so big, it's not in shape, who will dare to ask you in the future!" Lin Wangge laughed with a little melancholy on his eyebrows.
"Mother, how old am I!" Zhan Yunxi helplessly raised his forehead.
Lin Elegy's voice changed, skipped this topic, and only said: "Xi'er, what do you think of today's few people?" ”
Zhan Yunxi sat up straight, pursed his lips, and said: "Luo's family, born in the rivers and lakes, although she is a ruthless master, she has no great wisdom, judging from her performance today, she is not afraid, I estimate that the head of the Li family will marry her, and she should only value the Luojiazhuang behind her." Yang's family, intelligent, knowledgeable advance and retreat, knowledgeable and courteous, Zhang's, cowardly and timid, has no demeanor, but it is Feng's, but he is a very thoughtful, this kind of person is harmless on the surface, once he makes a move, he must have a perfect strategy, and it is difficult to deal with. ”
Lin Wangge nodded, agreeing with her statement, "You still have to let your father meet the real rulers of the three families before we can take further action." ”
Zhan Yunxi leaned against the wall of the car, "It's not in a hurry, those people won't do it easily, not to mention that I think they are more like wooing Dad, after all, even if there is no us, there is another Yunzhong County guard, isn't it?" ”
Lin Elegy looked at her daughter's indifferent appearance, her eyes were complicated, on the one hand, she was happy about her daughter's intelligence, and on the other hand, she was distressed that her daughter had to spend these thoughts at a young age.
In the Li family, a middle-aged man sat in the main seat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a good appearance, but unfortunately he was full of anger. Luo Yunshan sat next to her.
"I've seen them today, have you come up with anything?"
Luo Yunshan's face turned pale, and she said with some trembling: "No, no." ”
Li Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, squinting at her, obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Luo Yunshan trembled, and immediately said: "But, but I think Lin Elegy is too proud and flamboyant, and there is nothing worth noting." Luo Yunshan subconsciously ignored Lin Elegy's mention of the iron mine.
Li Tian frowned, although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. It seems that you still have to start with Zhan Mingxuan!
In the Zhou family, Feng Ping was waiting for a man with a kind face and a smile on his face to change clothes.
"How's it going?"
Feng Ping lowered her head slightly, "Lin Elegy is worthy of being the sister of General Dingguo, it is not easy to deal with, and Luo Yunshan didn't dare to refute a word today." ”
Feng Shi paused and continued: "And I estimate that Zhan Mingxuan already knows about the Li family's private mine. ”
Zhou Lei flicked his sleeves: "It's good to know, I originally wanted to quietly reveal it to them, but I didn't think they already knew, so let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, by the way, I remember, does Zhan Mingxuan still have a daughter?" ”
Feng Ping was taken aback, she didn't know what her husband meant, hesitated, and finally said truthfully: "I also saw that girl today, she looks good-looking, she is noble, she looks very well protected, and she is very innocent." ”
"Then let Feng'er approach her."
Feng Ping was a little unwilling, but she still bowed her head and said yes.
Zheng family. As soon as Zheng Yun entered the house, he saw his wife sitting in the high hall, walked a few steps quickly, came to Yang Duo's side, and asked with a courteous face: "Lady, are you tired today?" Have you been embarrassed by them? ”
Yang Duo glanced at him, and only looked at Zheng Yun's heart lake, "It's all going well, I don't think this Jing'an county lord is anything to get along with, and Luo Yunshan didn't take advantage of it at all today." ”
Zheng Yun put away his hippie smile, "No matter how they fight, don't involve us." ”
Yang Duo shook his head, "Do you really think we can stay out of it?" Even if we want to, the Li family won't let us go, let's think about which team to stand on as soon as possible! ”
"This TMD annoyance, the Li family has been suppressing us more and more in recent years."
"What? It's up to you to decide over there. ”
"Let's see, isn't it not that there yet?"
"You can count it."
At this time, a gentle young man with clear eyebrows walked in, "Dad, mother." ”
Yang Duo had a smile on his face, "Wen'er, you're back." It's earlier than usual today? ”
"Well, there is a sudden emergency at the master's house today, so let's come back as soon as possible."
"Tired? Go back and rest. ”
"Yes, the child is gone."
Yang Duo looked at the back of his son leaving with a spring breeze on his face, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Eh, husband, let me tell you, today I saw the county guard's daughter Cangwu County Lord, she is really a beautiful girl, and her temperament is also very gentle, even Chan'er's somewhat fearful temperament is very close to her, how about you let her be our daughter-in-law?" ”
Zheng Yun shook his head helplessly, how could his wife say something, "Madam, let's not talk about the identity of the family, she is the county lord of Cangwu who is the emperor's royal seal, how can she fall in love with our merchant family, and besides, she is only ten years old!" ”
Yang Duo glared at him unhappily, "It's also excellent for us Wen'er to learn, and when Wen'er gets the Jinshi, won't he be worthy of it?" Besides, I think the county keeper family also favors his daughter very much, and if the county lord likes our son, the county guard and the county lord will not disagree. ”
"Okay, well, what Madame says."
"It's pretty much the same, no, no, I'll go talk to Wen'er now."
Zheng Yun looked at the back of his lady leaving in a hurry, his mouth opened, and finally smiled helplessly and tolerantly.
After dinner, Zhan Mingxuan's family of four gathered in the study. Originally, Lin Elegy wanted Zhan Yundu to go back to rest first, but Zhan Yunxi wanted his younger brother to get in touch with these as soon as possible, and Zhan Mingxuan also agreed, after all, if they returned to the capital in the future, they would have to do these things, and it would be better to teach them from an early age than to be in a hurry in the future.
Lin Elegy recounted today's events on one side, and Zhan Yunxi added details on the side.
"In this way, in fact, these three families are not harmonious on the surface, and they do not interfere with each other!" Zhan Mingxuan concluded.
Zhan Yunxi supported his small chin with one hand, tapped the table with the other, and slowly spoke: "Dad, have you seen the heads of those three families?" ”
Zhan Mingxuan shook his head, "No, I checked some of the files left over from the past, and I also inquired about the situation of the previous county guards, and found that the previous county guards were in the same league as them, and some died due to various accidents." ”
For a while, the house fell silent and died unexpectedly? Where are there so many accidents, it's just a cover-up.
Zhan Yunxi lightly opened her red lips, "We have always regarded the Li, Zhou, and Zheng families as targets, but in fact, the Zhou and Zheng families are just ordinary merchants, and they just have to help them under the oppression of the Li family, so if we attack Huanglong directly, the Zhou and Zheng families will not pose a threat." What's more, my father is an official, and our family doesn't need to do business, so the Zhou and Zheng families actually have little influence on us. ”
Zhan Mingxuan nodded, feeling suddenly enlightened, he had been thinking about it all this time.
"What do you think we should do?"
"The Li family relies on force only, but where can this force compare to the army, the previous officials may not have found out about the situation of the Li family, but unfortunately the Li family was wiped out because the fold of the report could not be handed over. But that's not a problem for us, is it? Zhan Yunxi playfully tilted his head and winked at Zhan Mingxuan.
Zhan Mingxuan smiled gently, "That's right, I can play it directly to the emperor." ”
"So, our focus now is to find evidence of the Li family's private minerals, without evidence, even if the people of the entire Yunzhong County know that they are secretly hiding minerals, there is no way to punish them."
Zhan Mingxuan pondered for a moment, "But, Xi'er, once the Imperial City makes a move, the Li family may be killed!" ”
"Dad, there are thirty royal private guards by your side, and twenty secret guards by my side, plus Yin Li, there are about sixty people in total, and the government soldiers raised by the Li family are probably enough, after all, it is impossible for the Li family to dispatch so many people at once, if it becomes a small war, the Li family will definitely not survive."
"But there is still the support of the Jianghu people behind the Li family!" Lin Wangge said with some concern.
Zhan Mingxuan unfolded a map of Yunzhong County, "I sent Xiao Mu to check them, there are a total of six Jianghu sects in Yunzhong County, among which Hongfanmen, Luojiazhuang, and Hanshan factions are all related to the Li family, and the remaining Fumingzhuang, Jade Sleeve Pavilion, and Moqutang have a powerful appearance under the suppression of these three families. ”
"Brother Xuan, what do you mean; Unite with Fu Mingzhuang, Jade Sleeve Pavilion, and Moqu Hall to fight against Hongfan Gate? ”
"Hmm."
Zhan Yunxi lowered his head and thought for a moment, "This is not a bad way, but how to unite has to be further seen, it is not so easy." ”
Lin Elegy suddenly remembered Zhang Bi, so he asked, "Why don't you plot against Wu Baichang?" Aren't there still a hundred people under Wu Baichang? ”
Zhan Mingxuan and Zhan Yunxi glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"I almost forgot that there are a hundred people under Wu Gang."
"Dad, you've met Wu Gang, what do you think of this person?"
Zhan Mingxuan sank his face, "Wall grass, Wu Gang is very slippery, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not defect at a critical moment, this person is not easy to control." ”
Zhan Yunxi sneered with a look of "sure enough", "How can you bounce between those people for so long, if you are not tactful?" Looks like we're going to prepare for the worst. ”
Zhan Mingxuan nodded.
"Okay, it's not too early, go back and rest, these things can't be done in a short time."
"Yes, the child is gone."
After exiting, Zhan Yunxi took Zhan Yundui by the hand, preparing to send him back to the room first. Zhan Yundui had been silent in the study just now, and at this time, her little hand was holding her sister's hand tightly.
"Sister, isn't Yundui useless? I can't do anything, obviously my sister is the one who should be protected the most. ”
When Zhan Yunxi heard this, a warmth directly spread over his heart, lowered his head, touched his brother's head, and said comfortingly: "Twilight is still young, and when Twilight grows up, she can protect her sister." ”
"But my sister is only ten years old!" Zhan Yundu's voice was low, faintly choked.
Zhan Yunxi squatted down and took Zhan Yundui into his arms, "Twilight, our family is deeply favored by the emperor, so there will be more and more intrigues and tricks to face in the future, my sister is just a woman, no matter how much she is favored by the emperor, she can't do anything, but you are different, your main thing now is to study hard and take a fame test, so that you will have a foothold in the future and can protect your sister!" I let you know these things now, not to make you blame yourself, but to let you know the ugliness of this world in advance, so that you will not embark on an official career and be persecuted by others in the future, do you understand? ”
Zhan Yundui raised her head, her eyes were wet, but they were amazingly bright, "I know, I will protect my sister." ”
The sister and brother looked at each other and smiled, and the warm atmosphere flowed silently.
