"Little, miss. The girl named Xiangling had a pale face, and her eyes were full of guilt. But there is still a stubborn color: "It is the slave who has betrayed your trust, helped you supervise the Qingshi Branch, and used public power for private use." All this is the slave's fault, if you want to kill, cut off the slave's head, and the slave will never complain. ”

"No complaints?" The woman with a cold voice slowly got up, revealing her slender and proud delicate body, adding a little too much fat and losing a little too thin. A delicately made goose yellow lady dress sets off her delicate and extraordinary temperament. The eyebrows are like curved willow leaves, and the eyes are like deep gems. The pretty face is stuffed with snow, faintly revealing a trace of healthy ruddyness, and the jade lips are slightly crimson, adding a bit of clarity. It's really a rare stunning beauty.

"Can you betray my trust with no complaints?" The woman, with her long eyelashes, closed her eyes and sighed softly: "Xiangling, although you are my maid in name. Since I was a child, have I ever owed you half a penny? I have never been short of you in terms of resources in terms of arranging your teachers, masters, and resources. is called a maid, but in fact, it is not much different from some young ladies from big families. ”

"Miss, you don't owe the slave maid, it is the slave maid who has failed the young lady. Xiangling burst into tears and said in a panic: "If there is an afterlife, the slave is willing to make cows and horses for the young lady to repay the kindness of the young lady in this life and this life." ”

The beautiful woman had a deep disappointment in her eyes: "You really would rather die, don't you want to recruit the person you sold all over the iron armor? What kind of magic does Jiang Yu have? ”

"Miss!" Xiangling suddenly became frightened and inexplicable, knelt on the ground, whimpered and pleaded: "Please be merciful and let Brother Jiang go." He didn't know that this iron armor was carefully built by Wanjiabao for my Li Clan's personal guards. It was the slave maid, and the slave maid was worried about Brother Jiang's safety, so she made her own decision and sold it to him for two hundred gold sets. She also didn't expect that even if she was desperate and wanted to protect the person, she was easily found out by Miss, you must know that Miss just arrived in Qingshi Town today.

"Hmph, Xiangling, you underestimate the intelligence of our Li family too much. Although the Li family is a businessman, if the intelligence is not strong, how can it be a business?" Qingyan's beautiful woman sighed and said, "Although you kept things secret, you tampered with the account books. But in Miss Ben's eyes, there are loopholes everywhere. Thinking about Jiang Yu, but a mere ordinary man with no name, how can he make Xiangling so favored? We grew up together, and if I want your surname, I can't do it. For the sake of the relationship between you and me as sisters, I will let you go. You go and call that Jiang Yu, hand over the ten sets of iron armor, and accept my punishment. As for you, since you are willing to not even want his life for him, and even I am willing to betray you, it is impossible for you to stay by my side anymore. You can have a good time with him in the future, and break off with my Li Chamber of Commerce. ”

Xiangling was stunned, although she had always known that her young lady was soft-hearted, she never expected that she would let herself go after she betrayed and disobeyed her. Immediately, he kowtowed in surprise and joy: "Thank you, Miss, Bodhisattva, no, but Miss, I'm afraid you have misunderstood my relationship with Brother Jiang." Miss, do you remember what Xiangling's real surname is?"

"Huh, you, I seem to remember, also surnamed Jiang?" The Qingyan woman named Li Baobao suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is your brother, no wonder......"

"Uh, miss. The slave maid has no father or mother since she was a child, so she was brought to the Li family. Xiangling shook her head and said, "However, although Brother Jiang is not the slave's own brother. But the slave and maid really regarded him as their brother and relative. If it weren't for Brother Jiang's care and protection, the slave and maid, the slave and maid, would have died long before they went to the Li Mansion......"

Li Baobao was stunned for a long time, the reason why he was so angry before was that he originally thought that Xiangling had betrayed the interests of the family and provided for his lover. Unexpectedly, it was I who put this oolong on my own. But no matter what, Xiangling betrayed the interests of the family and sold what should not be sold, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable.

What's more, what made Li Baobao's heart uncomfortable was that Jiang Yu, who actually took advantage of Xiangling's relationship to take advantage of the Li Chamber of Commerce's branch? Doesn't he know that this will bring danger and trouble to Xiangling? The intelligence learned that this Jiang Yu seems to have recently followed a mysterious boss, and it is estimated that this iron armor is still at the behest of that mysterious boss.

"Hmph, dare to hit my chamber of commerce idea. Li Baobao was a little annoyed and angry: "How can I, Li Baobao, be so easy to fool? I will vomit out everything I want you to swallow." Of course, she wouldn't be so angry when it was a side matter, but this matter implicated her most trusted maid.

Unconsciously, poor Lei Qing suffered an unwarranted disaster. Without knowing it, he was hated by others.

......

But at this time, Lei Qing was also in his head. After searching the private secret room of the backing tiger, Lei Qing found something that gave him a headache. That is the backer of the tiger, and some letters exchanged with the Qingshi Branch of the Li Chamber of Commerce, although the content is hidden, the name and origin of the other party are also obscure. But after careful judgment, Lei Qing still deduced that this was almost a communication with someone from the Qingshi Branch. Although the other party repeatedly told that he wanted to burn the letters, it was obvious that Zhao Kun privately tried to leave the letters in order to get some handles. Save being used as a urinal, use it when you need it, and throw it under the bed when you don't need it. It's a pity that Zhao Kuo calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that it would be planted in Lei Qing's hands.

Raising a self-respecting man is considered an adult plan.

And the Li Chamber of Commerce is the biggest beneficiary of raising Kou's self-respect. Otherwise, how could they secretly fund Zhao Xuan, the backer, to let him develop and grow? Is it nothing more than to turn this radius of several hundred miles into a mineland for ordinary merchants?

It can not only lower the shipping price of mountain people in remote mountainous areas, but also almost monopolize the business of fur mountain treasures within a radius of several hundred miles. It's really killing two birds with one stone, and it's easy to calculate. If the rest of the small merchants want to do things, they must pay a lot of fees under the name of the bluestone branch, and they have to pay a visit to the thieves. Even then, there is no such thing as absolute security. Otherwise, Jiang Yu did things according to the rules in a good manner, why would he be robbed? If he was not there that time, Jiang Yu would have become a tragedy.

But he directly picked the Tiger Gang, and also occupied the Tiger Gang, and incorporated the younger brother of the backer Tiger. In this way, what will the behind-the-scenes inspirers behind the backers do?

All kinds of reasons made Lei Qing feel a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger. As an enemy of the Li Chamber of Commerce, it is undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car.

Of course, there is no turning back from the bow. Since things have been done, it is useless to regret them. What can be done now is to figure out how to deal with this. But thinking about it, Lei Qing didn't have much of a clue. The first is to negotiate with the Qingshi Branch, and use some of the evidence at hand that will damage the reputation of the Li Chamber of Commerce to reach a secret consensus. Even if it is a little wronged, it is okay to temporarily replace the position of the backer.

If this doesn't work, you'll have to run away with your men. Anyway, the purpose of Lei Qing's trip is to send Qianqian to Wanjiabao. See if you can find a place to live in Fort Vanguard. If not, turn around and go to the Iron Cavalry.

With his own identity, he has a friendship with his father, who has never met him, and the boss of the Iron Cavalry Regiment, and it is more likely that his surname will give him a foothold. When the time comes, it will be slowly trying to develop. Even if it is dependent on the development of the Iron Cavalry, it is indispensable.

As for the first batch of subordinates who lost their surnames and worked hard to get them, they fled by themselves? What's more, if you can't really establish your own team and power, you will be someone else's dish at any time. No matter how high the cultivation is, the lone ranger will not help, just look at the fate of the thief. If there are thousands of troops under the command of the thief saint, even if Leng Yuewu is more powerful in cultivation, can he be driven around like a dog?
