Chapter 408: Opponents
Cheng Jingzhou smiled: "Don't worry, what we can think of, I believe that Master Du can also think of it." ”
Cheng Jingzhou is right, at this time, Master Du is sitting in the study and pondering, what kind of person can have such a great ability, not to mention finding these bitter masters at once, but still arranging things so carefully.
Du Zhixing's first suspicion was Cheng Jingzhou.
"I think it's that Cheng County Commander who wants to take our Du family to Liwei."
Master Du was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It won't be what he did." If he goes out and encounters this kind of thing, he may take care of it, but he is in the county office, someone takes the initiative to complain, and it is not a family, Cheng Jingzhou does not need to do it on purpose. ”
Du Zhihe also nodded: "I don't think it's him, either." Cheng Jingzhou is a smart person, he knows our relationship with the county lord of Jiahua, how could he take the initiative to stumble us? Before Qingzhang, it was an order of the imperial court, and if it was done well, it was also meritorious and could be rewarded. But this kind of thing, he did it is also thankless, and this case clearly involves the former county commander who has been transferred, if he reports it truthfully, there will inevitably be another transfer from the ministry. ”
Master Du agreed with the second son's statement.
Cheng Jingzhou has no reason to do this.
But if it weren't for him, there would be only two of them who could become opponents with them in Feng County.
Which one is it?
Master Du's eyes moved, and he called his entourage in.
"If there is anything else you two haven't settled, hurry up and make it clear, and I will immediately arrange someone to deal with the aftermath."
Du Zhihe also thought of something, and immediately set off to walk out.
Only Du Zhixing's reaction was a beat slower, and then he also thought of the other party's plot against them, and it was very likely that there would be a follow-up move.
At this time, it is impossible to think about the tough end, and you can only take the silver and mediate one after another.
Fortunately, most of them are no problem, whether it is buying land or buying a house, there is a contract before, so I am not afraid.
The father and son went through these properties one by one, and then thought about whether they had offended other nobles recently, and after making sure that they had not provoked new enemies, they went to sleep with peace of mind.
However, Master Du secretly sent someone to investigate.
The three bitter masters have all been compensated, and he doesn't believe that the people behind the scenes will not show up.
Master Du also knew that if the other party could set up such a situation, he would definitely not be a person who was in a hurry, so he only arranged for someone to follow Sun Er, and the one who got his small yard, and the other one was not found for the time being, so he had to give up.
Master Du can have today, it is not that he has no means at all, and in a few days, things will have an eyebrow.
"Master, the little one saw Master Liu today, and before he arrived at the door to welcome the guests, Sun Er took the initiative to welcome him out, and nodded his head, obviously to please Master Liu, and he looked a little grateful."
Grateful?
Master Du realized something, and snorted coldly: "It's good that our Du family has suffered such a big loss!" If this revenge is not avenged, how can my Du family gain a foothold in Feng County! ”
Cheng Jingzhou didn't send anyone to keep an eye on Sun Er, but it didn't take long for him to know that the supporter behind Sun Er was Master Liu.
This Mr. Liu is a local businessman, don't underestimate him as just a merchant, his backstage is hard.
The back of the Du family is the county lord of Jiahua, and the big backer behind this old man Liu is the Xiangjun Palace.
Master Liu's master is the former king of Xiangjun, and after Li Xing inherited the county king's mansion, he has not sorted out these stewards for the time being, or rather, he has not had time to replace these people, but everyone is not stupid, and they have to go to the new master to show their loyalty first.
This Master Liu is not the steward of the Xiangjun Palace, he has the ability, more than ten years ago, he sent his sister to the Xiangjun Palace, and it didn't take long for him to become a favorite concubine of the old county king, that is, the concubine of the current Xiangjun King.
This favorite concubine also has some ability, and within a few years, she gave birth to a daughter to the king of Xiangjun, and with a child, she can finally gain a foothold in the backyard, even if it is a daughter, it is always better than those lonely and helpless women.
Liu's favor in the county palace is only a few years, when her daughter was still a child, she fell out of favor, until later the old county king went to pray for blessings, the county palace was inherited by Li Xing, the old princess remembered that there was such a number one person in the backyard.
Liu's daughter is still young, and she herself is beautiful, so the old princess is the master and moves to another courtyard.
In that courtyard, there are all the little wives of the old county king.
The main thing is that they are all in the same house, which is really inconvenient.
If the old county king is still living in the mansion, it will not be an exaggeration.
But he was not there, and Li Xing and these 'concubines' were almost the same age, which was really inappropriate, so the old princess made such a decision.
Although the Liu family fell out of favor, but she gave birth to a good daughter, just moved to another courtyard a few days ago, she was unexpectedly favored by a noble son, and then inquired, only to know that it was a person from the Xiangjun Palace, which was supported to come to the door to propose.
Li Xing discussed it with his princess and felt that it was feasible.
The other party is the son of the general's mansion and has already been married, so Li Xing's sister-in-law can only be a concubine when she marries.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
What about the royal family?
Those of humble birth still have to be concubines.
Anyway, it is also a family affair, and the General's Mansion is also a family of powerful people, so Li Xing relieved himself and took the mother and daughter back to the mansion to take care of them.
Although she is a concubine, she is also a concubine of the Xiangjun Palace, so it is naturally impossible to solve the problem with a small sedan chair.
Therefore, the date was set seriously, and then the old princess came forward and gave this concubine the title of a side room.
That is, the so-called side lady, generally speaking, this is second only to the main lady, once the main lady is gone, the side lady can rightfully become the next lady.
Because of this, this old man Liu's backer fell for less than a month, which is equivalent to another one.
I heard that this old man Liu took the initiative to prepare a lot of dowries for his niece, which on the one hand flattered the general's mansion and his niece, and on the other hand, it also saved a lot of expenses for the Xiangjun Palace, which naturally fell into Li Xing's eyes.
This kind of behavior of rushing to give silver, Li Xing is still happy to meet it.
Cheng Jingzhou looked at the various things that Master Wu helped investigate, and became more and more curious about this old man Liu.
"It can't be seen that he has a grudge against the Du family. And the king of Xiangjun and the county lord of Jiahua should not have a holiday, what is going on? ”
Master Wu shook his head, how did he know.
Cheng Jingzhou looked at the message above, and soon, he noticed a name.
