The big merchants in Huang County are the Xia family, the Cheng family, and the Liu family, and the Xia family and the Cheng family have always been more competitive in shipping, and the Xia family has suppressed the Cheng family in terms of the number of ships and the volume of cargo transportation in recent years. There is part of the credit of Castle Peak Business here, because the owner of Castle Peak Business is Xia Chongxiao of the Xia family.

However, the Cheng family is not inferior to the Xia family everywhere, in terms of sea freight, the Xia family is not as good as the Cheng family, and although the Cheng family's generation has a mess like Xiao Qi, there are also geniuses like Cheng Zimu. Cheng Zimu's ability to do business is on par with Xia Chongxiao, and his methods are ruthless and decisive, where he likes the business business, it is said that there is nothing that cannot be taken, it is said that the Cheng family has him, and he should not be reduced to the point of selling the land.

Xiao Qi rarely mentions family matters, I don't know if he wants to marry Xia He this time, is it related to the Cheng family's business problems?

Lan Yi rubbed her brows, digesting the news brought by Wang Linyuan.

Zhou Weiji, who had finished grooming, saw Lan Yi's thoughtful look, and asked worriedly, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

Lan Yi put her hands on her cheeks and raised her eyes, "Wei Ji, what kind of person is Cheng Zimu?" ”

Hearing Lan Yi mention Cheng Zimu, Zhou Weiji's eyebrows moved, and he carefully looked at Lan Yi's expression, "You didn't see the process of self-shepherding?" ”

"No, Brother Xia and Xiao Qi rarely mention him, I only heard that he has a lot of means, and his ability is not bad." Lan Yi then asked, "Lin Yuan came over today and said that there was a problem with the Cheng family's business, to the point where they wanted to sell Zhuangzi to fill the hole. I always feel a little strange, the Cheng family is also a big wealth. How could it be that all of a sudden, they wouldn't be able to sell it with much fanfare, even if they had to sell it. Wouldn't that further affect business? Cheng Zimu shouldn't have thought of this. ”

Zhou Weiji turned off the lights and lay down, holding Lan Yi in his arms, "Cheng Zimu is not easy to mess with." ”

It was the first time Lan Yi had heard Zhou Weiji describe a person like this, and she couldn't help but be more curious about Cheng Zimu, "Why is he not easy to mess with?" ”

Zhou Weiji twisted her little nose, and Lan Yi slapped his hand. Ever since this guy told himself that he could see at night, he had to pinch his nose several times every time he talked about a problem at night! Look at her angry little appearance. Zhou Wei was extremely hot-mouthed but said very seriously, "This person is quite scheming, ruthless, and very good at taking advantage of the weaknesses of others. One one. I know you and Cheng Zige have a bit of friendship. But as he himself said, you don't want to get involved in this matter. ”

Cheng Zige is Cheng Xiaoqi's name.

Lan Yi lowered her eyes, although Zhou Weiji was a macho guy, he rarely controlled her, but let her do what she liked. This time, he clearly said the word "don't", which shows his worry.

"Okay." Lan Yi responded softly.

Zhou Weiji's heart was relieved when he heard this, and he closed his eyes and explored her fragrance with his nose.

Lan Yi trembled at his fiery breathing. Tudding him reminded, "Not for the past few days......

"I know......" Zhou Weiji said. The big hand moved to her lower abdomen to warm her.

Feeling the heat on his waist, Lan Yi staggered a little embarrassedly, "It's just a little cold, it's not uncomfortable, you better go to sleep in your own bed, you must be tired when you come back so late today." ”

"Not tired." Zhou Weiji's right hand gently stroked her slender arm, "The people sent by the imperial court to inspect the grottoes have arrived, so they didn't come back until dark." ”

When the people sent from above arrived, Zhou Zhixian didn't dare to slack off, everything from official affairs to accommodation and food had to be arranged, and Zhou Weiji was naturally busy.

Lan Yiming's eyes opened, "Who is here?" Have you been to the grotto? ”

"The leader is Ma Rong, a member of the water department." Zhou Weiji knew that Lan Yi was concerned about this matter, so he explained, "The Ministry of Water is one of the four divisions of the Ministry of Industry, and is in charge of rivers and canals and water supervision. In addition to the Ministry of Water officials, one other person was escorted over. ”

The grottoes are also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Water, and it is reasonable to send a member of the Ministry of Water to investigate. So who will be the one who was escorted over, Lan Yi guessed, "The one who was escorted over won't be Tuoba Xiaozhi, right?" ”

"It's him." Zhou Weiji's thick eyebrows were calm, and his eyes were staring at the wooden ceiling of the roof, "Although I was escorted over, I didn't wear shackles." ”

Escort is Ma Rong's words. Tuoba Xiaozhi was not dressed as a prisoner or an exile prisoner, but in a civilian cloth robe, standing calmly among more than a hundred officers and soldiers. Zhou Weiji could see that although more than 100 officers and soldiers were guarding the front and back, left and right, it was not difficult to escape with the kung fu of Tuoba and filial piety.

"Tuoba Xiaozhi is here because he is familiar with the situation in the grotto, so he asked him to be a guide for the water department?" Lan Yi was a little puzzled, it is said that such a thing is not enough to let Tuoba Xiaozhi come, "Didn't you capture some people from the grotto at that time, and those who escaped from the grotto to Salmon Island were not all killed, right, just take a small leader over?" ”

This is also a point that Zhou Wei is extremely puzzled about, Tuoba Xiaozhi is a fierce general in Xiazhou, if he hadn't begged for medicine and poisoned from Liang Jin at that time, he would have to spend a lot of trouble to suppress this person. Such a fierce general can be returned to the Great Zhou Ying is also sent to the border to kill the enemy to make up for his merits, why did the imperial court send him to the Ministry of Water to come here, but he is still dressed in cloth.

"I'll know about this in a few days."

Lan Yi instinctively thought of the inscription on the graphic stone in the grotto: Swear to defend the territorial sovereignty of the motherland, Ji Cheng Wuzhi.

"Wei Ji, if he is the one who carved on the black stone map, he will definitely go to see the stone in the grotto, and you should pay attention to his reaction when the time comes."

They had already changed the stone, and if it had been carved by Tuoba, he would have found it.

Zhou Weiji's eyes turned sharply, "I'll pay attention, but whether he carved it or not, it doesn't make a difference." ”

Regardless of whether he is from another time and space like Lan Yi, he is only Tuoba Xiaozhi now. Zhou Weiji thought of the tragic battle situation and the mountains full of corpses at that time, and he was wary and jealous of Tuoba Xiaozhi.

If he dares to make a move, Zhou Weiji will be ruthless.

Lan Yi felt his emotions and said in a low voice, "Wei Ji, you have to protect yourself. ”

"I will." Zhou Weiji's arm tightened slightly, "I'll get up early tomorrow and dig up the hemp yam on the back slope first." It's inconvenient for you to take Xuan'er alone, leave the work in the field for a few days, and I'll do it again after a few days, and I'm not in a hurry to go into the mountains to chop firewood, and the firewood at home is still enough. ”

Lan Yi knew what he was worried about, so he obediently responded, "If it's too late, just stay in the city and don't come back, don't worry, it's okay at home." ”

How could she not come back, Zhou Weiji kissed her forehead, "Sleep." (To be continued.) )
