Xiao Ting gently lifted the lid of the tea pot, stirred it in the heart of the tea-red soup with iron chopsticks, and then struck it lightly, and the tea foam churning on the water surface immediately swung into the water, and a pleasant iron trill sounded for a long time.

Gao Xianzhi knelt on the blanket, his eyes were pleasing to the eye, he was really a good hand at making tea, but unfortunately, I don't know if I can leave a life in the future, speaking of which, the contest between these two young people has just begun.

Li Siye is a person who is rude and brave in appearance, and looks like a hard-working and brainless goods. But this is a deceptive appearance, and there is cleverness and cunning hidden beneath this man's bravery, and his ruthlessness is not the kindness of a woman. Although this Xiaoting city is deep enough, his city is easy to see.

He was still looking forward to which of these two ferocious animals would win.

After the tea boiled three times, Xiao Ting took out the charcoal, scooped out the first bowl in the pot with a teaspoon and set it aside, and then scooped out the second bowl and presented it to Gao Xianzhi.

Gao Xianzhi accepted it peacefully, took a sip of the tea bowl, and couldn't help but admire: "Zhong Jian's tea ceremony skills are getting more and more exquisite. ”

"I've won all the awards."

Gao Xianzhi tasted tea slowly, and suddenly asked him, "What is the price of leather goods in Qiuzi City?" Has it ever fallen down? Didn't Li Siye want to use the cotton jacket and quilt to sell at a low price of 1,000 pieces each to suppress the leather goods in the market? ”

Xiao Ting was secretly proud in his heart, but he pretended to be sorry and said: "Li Siye is indeed a talent, but unfortunately his mind is not right, he can't protect it with words and coaxing, the two thousand cotton jackets and quilts have already been sold, but the price of leather goods has not been reduced." This is enough to show that he is just selling goods, and parity is just a pretext. ”

Gao Xianzhi shook his head and retorted suspiciously: "But as far as I know, Li Siye's padded jackets and quilts in the market are all sold at cost price, although he failed at parity, his heart is still sincere." ”

"Gao Du Hu didn't know, a certain has long heard the price of cotton in the market, but eight dollars a catty, this kind of thing in addition to the Persian carpet workshop purchase, the rest of the people do not know its value, Li Siye in the green ridge self-cultivation, its price is even lower. A quilt is only six or seven catties of cotton, and the material is less than fifty yuan, and the quilt he uses is a linen cloth made in Guazhou, a horse is only four hundred yuan, and a linen cloth can make three or four sets of such quilts and cotton jackets. Even if even the labor is counted for him, the cost of a quilt is only one hundred and seventy yuan, and he sells it for four hundred yuan to parity, which is already considered to be profitable! ”

Xiao Ting slandered Xingtou, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he simply came with a fatal blow: "Gao Duhu, according to my secret visit, this Li Siye pretended to sell cotton jackets and quilts at a low price in order to deceive the Anxi Duhufu, but in fact, he sent someone to buy it back, and sold it at a high price at twice the price, and he was insatiable." ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded lightly, Li Siye and Xiao Ting each had their own opinions, and they were all suing about price hikes, which was-for-tat, and there was no ambiguity, and one of the two of them must have reversed right and wrong. Instead of watching them act in front of them, it is better to add fuel to the fire and intensify the contradictions.

He twisted his whiskers lightly and thought about it.

"What"

"How can it be!" Gao Xianzhi stroked his beard lightly, and slapped his right palm heavily on the desk: "If this Li Siye is so bold, how can he be spared!" Since his behavior is so bad, why don't you report it directly to Laiduhu, arrest him and punish him severely!" ”

Xiao Ting pressed the smugness in his heart, although framing Li Siye had reached the last step, he still needed to wait for the store to sell all the quilts and jackets, and collect the funds back to confirm, before he could launch the final blow.

He put down the tea bowl in his hand, crossed his hand and said: "Gao Duhu, this matter should not be rushed, and the evidence needs to be conclusive, I think it is not too late to report it after the investigation is confirmed again." ”

"How can such a thing be delayed! In case he reins his tracks after he succeeds, can you still grab his braids, as long as there is a suspicion, he will be arrested and then investigated and convicted!"

Xiao Ting couldn't help but admire in his heart, Gao Du Hu deserves to be Gao Du Hu, and he really made a decision resolutely, but he couldn't learn it...... He said hesitantly: "After all, this guy is treacherous and cunning, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to catch the snake and be bitten back, so I'd better wait for the evidence to be conclusive before reporting it."

In fact, his subtext is that after he sells all the quilts and cleans up the traces, he will point all the evidence and guilt at Li Siye, and it will not be too late to do it.

"Why cower young people! As long as you are sure that it was indeed Li Siye's doing, I, Gao Xianzhi, will fully support you!"

Now that Gao Duhu has already said this, if he hesitates to shirk, it will be too shameless, anyway, according to his plan, Li Siye will definitely die, why not start a war in advance and give him an end?

"Okay, let's go to the capital to report to the capital to ask for help, and quickly send someone to arrest Li Siye!"

"You go first, I'll be there later!"

Gao Xianzhi stood at the window and looked at Xiao Ting's back as he left in a hurry, and nodded with satisfaction, the two tigers competed, and they must both show their edges in order to distinguish between right and wrong. One person attacks and one person defends, what kind of struggle is that, only when both of them show their teeth to fight and bite, that is called joy.

Lai Yao was sitting in the study, rubbing his hands together on the top of the charcoal basin to roast the fire, Xiao Ting was already standing outside the door and reported: "Humble Xiao Ting, I am here to see Du Hu."

"Xiao Ting came back so soon."

Xiao Ting didn't answer Lai Yao's question, but directly bowed to the fork and said: "Come to Duhu, after these quilts and jackets shipped by Li Siye were sold out in the Qiuzi market, they appeared in the market again today, and they were resold at twice the original price, which can be called unscrupulous!" Therefore, it is determined that this is a ploy by Li Siye!"

When Lai Yao heard this, he was immediately angry, and said angrily: "What a Li Siye!" Teasing Hondu Protector like this! Send someone immediately, no! Immediately order the Imperial Guards! Get him here! Pontus is going to be interrogated in person!"

Gao Xianzhi was late, standing aside with his hands on his chest and not making any remarks.

Xiao Ting glanced back at Gao Xianzhi, and found that he had a posture of watching a play on his face, and he always felt that something was wrong, but now that the arrow was on the bow, he had to send it.

"Whoa!"

He immediately went to the capital to protect the guards to give an order, and thought about the possible situation in the store on the way, the guy and the shopkeeper are his henchmen, loyal and will never betray, even if it is tortured, they will splash dirty water on Li Siye, this is his confidence, so Li Siye will definitely die.

The leader of the guard who was on duty in the mansion today gave a bow after seeing Xiao Ting: "Xiao joins the army."

"What about Lu Qian?"

"Go back to the army to join the army, the Lu Brigade rate is not on duty today, it's time to go home."

Xiao Ting scolded: "This dog thing, when you don't use him, you shake in front of your face all day long, and when you can use him, you don't know where to go!"

"Just go for you! Arrest Li Siye to the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion! He was to be interrogated in person. ”

"Well, let's go!"

The brigade immediately gathered a team of more than 60 people and personally led the team to the pavilion, and when they arrived at the pavilion, they found that Li Siye was not here. learned from the pavilion post that Li Siye was with Cao Zhengqing, who had joined the army, and he immediately led his troops back to the Facao Office and the Warden Department of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

Li Siye had just finished his interrogation and was waiting for the doctor from the Warden Department to treat the prisoner, and the bloody straw was not good in front of Du Hu after all.

A group of soldiers suddenly poured in at the front door, and the brigade led by the brigade was dressed in iron armor and strode in with a horizontal knife on his waist and hips: "Li Shou can catch it"

Li Siye heard someone calling, and walked out of Fa Cao's duty room and replied, "I'm here."

The brigade leader arched his hand and said: "Come to protect the order, order me to take you to see him, let's go, Li Shou captures the envoy!"

Li Siye is not good, if it is just a rumor, why bother to bring troops here, this is because he is afraid that he will run away.

Cao Zhengqing hurriedly came out and asked: "What's going on, why did you take Li Siye away?"

The brigade leader saluted Cao Zhenqing with his crossed hands and said: "The lowly position is only acting on orders, and I don't know the reason."

"It's okay, Lao Cao, it just so happens that I will also go to report this matter to the Duhu, you will go later, and after the doctor has finished bandaging these people, he will take them to the Duhu Mansion."

He holds the victory in his own hands, and he is not afraid of any changes.

"This brigade leader, please lead the way."

A moment later, Li Siye was taken to the front of the main hall of the Duhu Mansion, and when he looked up left and right, Du Hulai Yao was kneeling in front of the tiger screen in the main hall, his face was as blue as copper, and his face was full of anger. Gao Xianzhi knelt on the right side of the screen, holding his hands on his chest as steady as a big bell. Xiao Ting sat on the lower right, looking up with his head held high.

This posture did seem to have changed, and he still bowed calmly: "The lowly Li Siye will come to protect the capital, and the senior deputy will protect him."

Lai Yao asked in a deep voice: "Li Siye, you promised me that as long as you put the quilts and cotton jackets you brought into the Qiuzi market, you can force these profiteers to reduce the price of leather goods, what is the result now?"
