At this moment, the butler's voice came from outside the door,

"Madam, you have relatives from the capital to visit, and you are waiting in the living room at the moment."

"Relatives from the capital?"

A woman's voice came from outside the door, and there was a hint of surprise in it.

"I know, it's over!"

As the door was slowly pushed open, a figure dressed as a noble lady wearing a fox fur appeared in front of Yang Dong and the others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you've been waiting for a long time."

The noble lady raised her hand and asked the people in the family to add tea to Yang Dong and them, and then asked unhurriedly:

"A few distinguished guests are a little raw, but they have an old relationship with their father?"

After speaking, her gaze swept around the faces of Yang Dong and the others.

Yang Dong smiled and explained:

"Thanks to Lord Xu's care, our business in the capital was able to gain a foothold. But then it ...... When I heard that Master Xu had committed a crime, I didn't dare to come to the door rashly. ”

As soon as these words came out, the noble lady's face changed slightly, but she still smiled slightly and said:

"It's just some old things, and my father has cleared his suspicions."

"It's just that after that, a few distinguished guests never came to the door?"

Speaking of this, her eyes had already begun to glow with suspicion.

Yang Dong did not panic at all, and continued to explain to himself:

"Madame doesn't know, our original business was a little disgraceful, so we didn't dare to visit Lord Xu openly."

"Later, we secretly contacted Lord Xu several times, but we never got a response."

"It just so happened that at that time, Houjin and Da Zhou signed a peace treaty, and we went to Houjin to do business. When I returned to the capital, I heard that Lord Xu had returned to his hometown. ”

"Over the years, we've gotten bigger and bigger, but we've had occasional troubles. When I came to Jiangnan this time, I wanted to ask Lord Xu to come forward to help make peace, but I never wanted to hear such bad news. ”

"Please also mourn Madame."

"Si is gone, my father can have such an ending, and it is also his fate."

The lady said something inexplicable, then shook her head and asked:

"Now that my father has set foot in the west, I am afraid that you will have to run in vain on this trip."

When Yang Dong heard this, a helpless look appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, the little young woman sitting beside him couldn't help but speak.

"Dare to ask Madame, how did Lord Xu clear his suspicion in the case back then?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that her question was very unreasonable, so she hurriedly added:

"Don't get me wrong, madam, because what happened to Lord Xu back then was also related to the business we were waiting for, so I ...... it."

However, when the noble lady heard this, her face turned gloomy.

She glanced at the little young woman coldly, and said in a deep voice:

"When the Xu family had an accident, you were no more than twelve or thirteen, why did you care so much about your father's affairs?"

After speaking, she glanced at Yang Dong coldly and continued:

"Looking at your age, I'm afraid what happened back then has nothing to do with you. In that case, what is the purpose of your visit? ”

"Madame doesn't have to be so suspicious of me!"

Yang Dong spread out his hands, indicating that he had no malicious intent, and then continued:

"Madame doesn't know, this business was originally run by my father and their older generation, but the details are too troublesome in the future."

"All in all, it was because of the events of the year that it was related to the profit we gave to Master Xu, so Fang Cai asked one more question."

When the lady heard this explanation, the coldness and suspicion in her eyes dissipated a lot.

But she remained vigilant and asked:

"Back then, your business was still related to your father?"

"It's nature!"

Yang Dong nodded decisively and continued:

"To tell you the truth, we left 20% of the benefits for Lord Xu at the beginning, but it was just ...... That's it, now that you are the only descendant of Lord Xu, these benefits should also be inherited by you. ”

"Among them, there is a restaurant in the capital, which we plan to honor Lord Xu. Would you like to return to Beijing? ”

After saying this, he immediately stared at the noble lady's face, trying to see something through the other party's expression.

Sure enough, after the noble lady heard the restaurant in the capital, a look of greed flashed in her eyes.

But she quickly shook her head firmly, and said:

"I live very comfortably in Moonlight Town, and I don't plan to return to Beijing for the time being."

"If it's convenient, you can sell the restaurant and exchange it for money and send it to the house."

"By the way, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Dong heard that the noble lady was unwilling to return to Beijing, coupled with Fang Cai's calligraphy and painting, he had already guessed in his heart.

But on the surface, he still acted like this:

"Madame doesn't know, the wind has changed in the capital recently, and Lord Lin Shoufu has failed to rebel, and he has fled to Houjin."

"Originally, with Lin Shoufu under the cover, our business was barely operating. But after Lin Shoufu was gone, the government always came to us twice in three days to find trouble. ”

"So we want to ask Lord Xu to come out of the mountain and see if we can ......"

When the noble lady heard this, she couldn't help but believe it. So he asked rhetorically:

"Which yamen is bothering you? Let's hear it. ”

"It's the household department, and the county government ......"

Yang Dong's answer was fluent, which made the lady believe a little.

"Over there in the county government, you settle it yourself, it's just to spend some more silver."

"As for the household...... My father still has some connections in the household department, and when I repair a book, you can go back and wait for a few days. ”

After saying this, she seemed to remember something again, and added:

"For my father's restaurant...... Remember that when you have sold it, you will bring the money. I guarantee you a smooth sail for your business in the capital. ”

When Yang Dong heard this, a cold light flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

Now, he can almost be sure that there must be a mastermind behind the tax and silver case back then, who secretly controlled all this.

And through the confident remarks of the talented lady, it is almost certain that the mastermind behind the scenes is still in control of the court.

Thinking of this, Yang Dong only felt a chill in his back.

He never expected that in the capital, there was a force hidden even that he had never noticed!

"In that case, thank you, ma'am!"

Yang Dong arched his hand, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

The lady waved her hand and said casually:

"Don't worry, what my father could give you back then, I can also give it to you."

"Of course, if you have some other thoughts, I also have a way to clean you up!"

"Okay, go back and sell the restaurant as soon as possible, I'll wait for your news."

……

In the end, Yang Dong and his entourage left Chen Dahu's house without even having a meal.

The little young woman took a deep look at the house behind her, and a trace of grief flashed in her eyes.
