Walking into the study, Yu Ge's face sank.

He reprimanded his son in a low voice: "What's the matter? I can't even sink the seven emotions? ”

Yu Jingxiu disagreed, smiled at his father, and a little mystery appeared in his expression: "Dad, you will be happy when you know it......"

Yu Ge raised his eyebrows.

Yu Jingxiu said: "Xiping Hou handed over the letter, saying that Zhao Ling had sold illicit salt in the past......" The words did not speak, and his eyebrows were already dancing.

"Oh!" Elder Yu Ge couldn't help but look uplifted.

Selling smuggled salt is a serious crime, let alone a military attache guarding the border who sells smuggled salt......

"Tell me more about it, what the hell is going on?"

"Isn't Xipinghou Shizhen Liangzhou?" Yu Jingxiu said with a smile, "The caravans that do business with Dashi have to pass through there, some of them are so steep that they look profitable, and they often rob those caravans when they pull the pole to stand on the mountain, and the Marquis of Xiping has drawn some strong martial arts people in his own guard to form a horse team, which is usually responsible for protecting the safety of the passing caravans, and occasionally meets the owner who can afford the price to help be a bodyguard." Over the course of a year, it is also a lot of income. ”

After He Fu arrived in Zhangye, his eyes turned red when he looked at it. The caravans that passed through Jiayuguan were gathered together, and a rule of one out of twenty was set, and the General Military Office sent troops to protect the safety of these caravans. After all, He Fu is the chief official, and he occupies the name of righteousness. In this way, Xipinghou's horse team was unprofitable. There happened to be a guy surnamed Feng, whose ancestors were smuggled salt, but he had done a lot of noise over the years, and in his generation, he gradually bleached. Because both families have the surname Feng, this Feng Yin and the Northwest Hou are the same surname, somehow, they climbed to the Xiping Hou and recognized their relatives. The Xiping Hou family has a great cause, and these days are difficult, so it is inevitable to think of other ways. The idea hit this person surnamed Feng. ”

"The man surnamed Feng is not ambiguous, saying that as long as Xipinghou sends the same capable person to help the town and town at that time, the principal and head will be counted as his, and he patted his chest and promised to pay 200,000 taels of silver to Xipinghou a year." As he spoke, he sneered, "Otherwise, where would Xipinghou have the money to go to Kyoto?" ”

Elder Yu Ge nodded, slightly surprised, and muttered: "No wonder some people show the law by example, it turns out that the income from selling smuggled salt is such a big ......"

Yu Jingxiu smiled: "Dad, you don't have to worry. Zhao Ling didn't have that much money - he had only sold private salt for three years, and at the beginning, he didn't have much capital, all of which he relied on ruthlessness, plus he had a wide hand, and in the third year, he opened up the situation, and suddenly couldn't do it, that Feng Laosi still wondered, and later learned that he was willing to join the army......"

Yu Ge Old Feng let out a soft "um" lightly.

Yu Jingxiu could feel that Yu Ge Lao's heart was relieved.

He continued to laugh and said, "Since I introduced the eldest son of Shen Ge Lao to the second son of the Xiping Hou family, although He Fu has not let go, he has been a lot more polite to the Xiping Hou. This time, I asked the second son of Xipinghou about Zhao Ling, and he was very enthusiastic. I also asked me if I wanted to help, and said, the Feng family and Zhao Ling are the head of Feng Laosi's brother Feng Laosan died at the hands of Zhao Ling, and later Zhao Ling joined the army, and the officials became bigger and bigger, and the people of the Feng family have been worried, he can come forward to encourage the people of the Feng family to testify......" Speaking of this, he looked straight and said, "Dad, I heard that the people who sell smuggled salt are ruthless people who can draw their swords for a few taels of silver, then the Feng family and Zhao Ling are opponents, and they are definitely not ordinary grievances, maybe the Feng family wants to be close to Xiping Hou Fan, It is to prevent Zhao Ling from taking revenge on the Feng family after he gets ......"

"There's a lot of truth in your words." Old Yu Ge bowed, "You send a competent person to meet this Feng Laosi - hearing is false, seeing is believing." If you really want to use him, just rely on the second son of Xiping Hou......" he said in a tone, "I'm afraid that the strength is still a little insufficient!" ”

"That's what I thought too." Yu Jingxiu said, showing a hesitant expression, "However, Zhao Lingsheng is thick, just a smuggled salt seller is a thing of the past, I'm afraid it is not enough to bring him down, at most it will only hurt a few words." After a few days, the emperor's anger will pass, and maybe he will be restored...... Instead, it startled the snake...... It's better to work on that Feng Laosi......"

The son can have such an opinion, Yu Ge's eyes lit up: "Tell me, what kind of exercises?" ”

Yu Jingxiu said in a low voice: "Isn't Zhao Ling in the Xuan Mansion now?" Listening to the tone of the second son of Xiping Hou, Zhao Ling didn't have much silver in his hand, but you know the official's money...... If you are used to eating fish and meat, and then let him eat vegetables, who can stand it? It's better to ask someone to come forward to vouch for Feng Laosi, so that he and Zhao Ling can turn their rivalry into jade silk. First, we can let him know our methods and be afraid in my heart, and second, we can take this opportunity to pull Zhao Ling into the water...... If it happens, then find a way to impeach Zhao Ling for the crime of 'taking the lead in the army', the two cases will be launched at the same time, he is the person saved by the emperor, in the emperor's heart, he is the emperor's person, if such a thing happens, if it is not for this crime, just for this face, the emperor will definitely punish him for his crime......"

A smile slowly appeared on Yu Ge's slightly grim face: "When the Dragon Boat Festival is over, Xipinghou will definitely send someone to send New Year's gifts, you can entertain Xipinghou's second son when you arrive!" ”

That is, the father agreed with his idea.

This affirmation of his ability made Yu Jingxiu unable to help but express joy between his eyebrows.

He bowed his hand to his father: "Daddy, don't worry, I will not let others suspect me." ”

Elder Yu Ge didn't make a sound, just patted his son's shoulder with relief, and turned around and walked out of the inner room.

Yu Jingxiu smiled and went back to the house.

Fan was lazily leaning on the big pillow and watching Mo Zhen and the two little maids do needlework for her unborn child.

Seeing her husband come back, she hurriedly sat up: "I'm back!" ”

"Don't get up!" Yu Jingxiu sat beside her with a smile and shook her hand, "How are you today?" Are you okay? ”

Fan smiled and nodded.

Mo Zhen said: "It's not that aunt yet, seeing that the young grandmother is pregnant, for fear that the young grandmother will detain her, she repeatedly asked the mother in the sewing room how to make her summer clothes, which made the mother confused, and thought that the young grandmother had other instructions and found the young grandmother here." The young grandmother used to be looking at the night pearl you gave to the young grandmother, but the young grandmother went to Aunt Wu again, and sent the maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law all over the yard......"

"That's it!" Fan Shi only opened his mouth at this time to drink the ink seal, "Why are you talking so much?" Managing the inner courtyard was originally my business, and the young master was busy outside, and finally returned home, and you still said these little things to bother him...... Do you want to change places to work as an errand? In the end, it was already very powerful.

Mo Zhan hurriedly knelt down, but his eyes glanced towards Yu Jingxiu: "Young grandmother, the slave doesn't dare to talk anymore......"

Yu Jingxiu saw Fan's maid asking for help from him, and felt that it was because Fan took care of him, so he couldn't help but feel happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this little thing...... I talked to my father for a long time, and my throat was about to smoke......" The last sentence was said to Fan.

Fan's "oops" sounded, and hurriedly instructed Mo Zhen: "Don't go and pour tea soon!" ”

Mo Zhen smiled in response.

Yu Jingxiu said, "The Wu family came to you for clothes?" I see that she is usually silent...... Could it be the maid and mother-in-law next to him......

Fan Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was sour, and he said with tears: "Am I still wronging her for not being ......" Without saying a word, tears had fallen.

"No, no." Yu Jingxiu hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "That's how I asked!" Don't get me wrong! ”

Fan Shi wiped his tears with him, and said in a choked voice: "I also know that Aunt Wu is an honest person, otherwise my mother would not have picked her and put her in our house, but this person will always become ......"

Yu Jingxiu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with some displeasure: "Forget it, don't talk about this matter......"

The Wu family is also a beauty, just because the person was sent by Mrs. Yu, so Yu Jingxiu doesn't like it very much... Fan knew that her goal had been achieved, and seeing that Yu Jingxiu was unhappy, she immediately changed the topic: "What are you talking about with your father?" Actually said that his throat was dry? ”

"It's about Zhao Ling...... Yu Jingxiu naturally wouldn't be wary of Fan's family, he was proud that his idea was adopted by his father, and the words blurted out, and he felt that it was a little inappropriate, so he immediately stopped the topic and said with a smile, "It's all messy things outside, and you don't know if you say it!" ”

Fan was bored, and said with a smile: "Xianggong told me, I won't know!" He said, "Who is this Zhao Ling?" ”

"A martial artist." Yu Jingxiu pursed his lips, his expression showed a little disdain, and when he looked up, he saw Mo Zhen coming in with tea, he took the tea cup, and said, "Haven't you heard from your mother-in-law yet?" ”

Fan was pregnant, and Mrs. Yu personally wrote a letter and sent it to Mrs. Fan.

"Counting the days, there should be a reply in the past two days......" Fan Shi responded, and suddenly thought that a few days ago, she seemed to hear someone mention that there was a war on the Xuanfu side, and she couldn't help but say, "That Zhao Ling, is it the chief soldier of Xuanfu?" ”

"With him, he can also be the chief soldier of Xuanfu?" Yu Jingxiu sneered, "It's just a guy who wiped Mo Yi's ass!" ”

Fan Shi became more curious when he heard this: "Who is Mo Yi?" Why did you say that this Zhao Ling wiped his ass? ”

"You don't care about these things." Yu Jingxiu didn't want to say this, so he smiled and picked a winter melon candied fruit with a toothpick and handed it to Fan's mouth, "Your responsibility now is to take care of the fetus, don't think about other things!" ”

Fan smiled and ate the candied fruit, but his curiosity did not diminish.

The next day, I sent Mo Seal to inquire.

When Mo Zhen came back, his face was a little pale.

"Young grandmother," she said in Fan's ear, "that is called Zhao Ling, the deputy chief soldier of the Xuanfu, because of his skill in following the dragon, he is only twenty-four or five years old this year, and he is already a third-rank general." She said, pausing in her tone, "I heard that his wife...... The surname is Fu. ”

Fan was shocked: "Who are you listening to?" ”

"What about people out there?" Mo Zhen said, "Saying that Zhao Ling has made a great contribution this time, then the Fu family is afraid that he will be sealed!" ”
