Shaoming Mansion, Cao's family, came an uninvited guest tonight.

The woman came with a horse, a capable but noble outfit, the end of the robe perfectly showed her pretty figure, a pair of long legs were particularly eye-catching, she came alone, a snow-white tall horse, with a vermilion saddle reins, very eye-catching.

The Cao family started in business, although it is not said to be dominant, but it is also a rich and noble family in this Shaoming Mansion, and there are more nobles sent to it on weekdays, and the porter is more confident than the average rich and noble family.

"Please pass through, Qingzhou Li Jinlan came to visit Cao Zhengye and Boss Cao."

When the porter heard this, his eyebrows jumped, the Cao family's business route mainly relies on the Yagong River waterway business in Qingzhou, the people in the rivers and lakes, the Cao family can not know any masters on the list, but they will definitely know Qingzhou Li and Pan, because these are the ones who control the entire Yagong River waterway.

I couldn't help but be a little respectful in my tone, and even my body was a lot shorter.

"Miss Li, please wait a moment, the little one will be the heirloom for you."

The old gatekeeper hurried away, and the two Tsing Yi Hu came forward from the side, standing on both sides, not daring to speak, and sweat seeped out from their foreheads.

People like Li Jinlan are existences that they can only look up to before, because they used to be in the rivers and lakes, and they know the power of people who can make a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes.

Li Jinlan ignored them, holding a long sword in her right hand, and looked at the plaque of the Cao family with a calm face.

This trip, she didn't want to come, but after the plan was proposed and adopted, it was not something she could stop, don't look at Qingzhou now that it seems to have completely settled down, but the turmoil in the dark can only be felt by those who are in it.

Not long after the old porter left, I saw a middle-aged man trotting out, followed by the old porter who was a little out of breath.

"Cao Zhengye has seen Miss Li, I didn't know that Miss Li was here, please forgive me for the rudeness."

Li Jinlan looked Cao Zhengye up and down, this is a man about fifty years old, dressed in brocade clothes but does not reflect much nobility, but is cheesy from his bones, slightly obese figure, and a pair of small eyes full of care.

She couldn't help frowning, there was a world of difference from the man in her impression.

"No need to be polite, I came uninvited."

"How dare you dare, Miss Li can come, it is a blessing that the Cao family can't ask for, Miss Li, please come in and talk, your beloved horse will be served by the people below, and there will be no problems." Cao Zhengye wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his face, and his face looked even more greasy.

Cao Zhengye was worried in his heart, gave the old porter a look, and then piled up a smile on his face, leading Li Jinlan to go inside, but he muttered in his heart.

Behind Li Jinlan is the Li family, who controls the shipping of the Yagong River, in a sense, Li Jinlan can determine the life and death of the Cao family in one word, but in the past, there were not thousands of merchants like them, but there were hundreds, and they couldn't reach it at all.

Now that Li Jinlan is visiting in person, the situation is different, and she is still visiting at night.

In my heart, I have no bottom.

"Don't worry about Boss Cao, this time I came with the goodwill of the Li family, to talk about a business, if the matter is done, the status of the Cao family will definitely go up a few floors, and it will become the top force in Shaoming Mansion, I can't say that my Li family will have to rely on Boss Cao at that time."

As soon as Cao Zhengye heard this, he became even more nervous, what could the Li family not solve, how could he Cao Zhengye?

When he came to the main hall, the next person brought tea and fruits, Li Jinlan sat down directly, and Cao Zhengye hurriedly waved his hand and retreated.

"I don't know what my Cao family can do for Miss Li, and I ask Miss Li to show me that my Cao family will go all out and dare not slack off in the slightest."

Cao Zhengye's posture was very low.

Li Jinlan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Boss Cao is serious, I am bringing good news to your Cao family." ”

"I don't know if Boss Cao has heard of the name Cao An?"

"Naturally, I've heard it, the matter in Qingzhou was so big that day, I waited for these people who relied on the Qingzhou waterway to beg for food, no one knows, no one knows, it's a pity, we are just ordinary people after all, I am angry in my heart, but I can't help, and I can't take down Cao An's thief."

Li Jinlan sneered, and for a while, she had a clear feeling.

Cao Zhengye's heart tightened, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

"The news I brought is related to Cao An, Boss Cao, others know that your Cao family made a family by operating cloth and medicinal materials, but your Cao family has only been in this Shaoming Mansion for more than ten years, your Cao family is not a businessman, you used to be a Yanshi family."

After Li Jinlan finished speaking, her eyes were like knives, falling on the fat man's body, she really wanted to see how Cao Zhengye would perform after being revealed by herself.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhengye was not as panicked as she expected.

"Miss Li only knows one thing, I don't know the other, the Cao family industry here has been in business for six generations, and the contemptible people were just a small person in a branch of the Cao family, after the Cao family suffered that year, they came here and took over the property here, Miss Li said that I am related to the Cao family of the Yanshi family, there is indeed a connection, if there is no connection, it is okay."

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Actually, the enemies of the Cao family also knew about this matter back then, but they just didn't bother to pay attention to us people. ”

"Boss Cao, has you ever thought about repeating the glory of the Cao family?"

Cao Zhengye was startled, subconsciously glanced around vigilantly, and hurriedly spoke.

"Miss Li can't hurt me, my Cao Zhengye was just a small person in the branch of the Cao family, I didn't receive much favor from the Cao family, and I didn't have any feelings for the Cao family in the past, it's been more than ten years, I have never had such thoughts, I just want to run the industry under my hand well and feed this family."

"It's okay if the Cao family was destroyed back then, if it weren't for the collapse of the Cao family, how could I still get a little bit of a small industry and a free body by me Cao Zhengye today."

The corners of Li Jinlan's mouth raised, and the disdain in her heart was even worse.

"Boss Cao doesn't need to be so alarmed, if I, Li Jinlan, want to do something to your Cao family, I don't need to trap you here, what I want to tell you here is that Cao An was the only person who survived the Cao family's lineage back then.

Cao Zhengye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"Their lineage can leave their bloodline, that's their ability, Cao Zhengye is just a businessman, and the things in the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with me."

Li Jinlan squinted slightly, she didn't expect this Cao Zhengye to be so sleek, and it was clear that he couldn't get on the road.

stood up, with a long sword in both hands, and faced Cao Zhengye.

"Cao Zhengye, I won't go around in circles with you, you have to think of ways to recognize Cao An back to the Cao family, and the current Shaoming Mansion Cao family, I don't care what method you use, this is not my own decision, but the decision of several families in Qingzhou, you should know very well which ones."

"Miss Li, you ......"

"Huh?"

Cao Zhengye's neck shrunk and he didn't dare to speak again.

Li Jinlan paced to the front of the hall, "Recognizing the Cao family is the first step, he is a member of your Cao family, this is a matter of course, second, since you are a member of the Cao family, and you are the current helmsman of the Cao family, it is reasonable for him to contribute the secret technique of the Cao family to the family." ”

"After getting the secret technique, there will be people from Qingzhou to contact you, from today onwards, your Cao family's freight will be smooth all the way in Qingzhou, and the major families will not take a penny, you can do it yourself."

"But I'm just a ......"

Li Jinlan seemed to know what he was going to say, "Who knows?" Say that you are the helmsman of the Cao family, you are! Not really! From another point of view, as a member of the Cao family, what do you have to take back the Cao family's family inheritance technique? Clearly and honestly, we will buy your Yanshi technique at a price that satisfies the Cao family master at that time. ”

Saying this, Li Jinlan walked into the courtyard.

"Ah yes, there's another thing, your baby daughter has already been in contact with Cao An twice, which may be of some use to you."

Cao Zhengye's face became nervous, "Chan'er? ”

"That's right! It's her, Cao Chan, how to choose, the head of the Cao family should know, so I don't need to say more. ”

"Cao Mou will go all out, but I still don't know the trace of Cao An." Speaking of Cao Chan, Cao Zhengye's eyes were full of worry, he had no other way but to submit, his family was in this Shaoming Mansion, not to mention, it was impossible for this woman to mention her daughter for no reason.

There is also a threat in it.

"He is now in the west of Sanhe Mansion, entering the Burial Demon Abyss, you just need to let people stay there, you don't need to enter it, after he comes out, in the implementation of the plan, you will have a relatively long preparation time, during this period, the things promised to your Cao family will always be done, effective from now on."

"Cao understands, thank you Miss Li."

Li Jinlan waved her hand, "No need to send it." ”

Cao Zhengye didn't want to send it either, he was now anxious to ask his daughter what happened.

"Go, call the eldest lady over!"

The servant who was guarding the side was startled by his sudden loud voice, his body tightened, and he hurriedly responded, and hurried to call the eldest lady Cao Chan.

After a while, Cao Chan came, and looking at those eyes, she seemed to be a little confused.

"Daddy, what's the matter with you calling your daughter over this big night? Everyone is asleep. ”

"What good did you do?"

Cao Chan was so frightened by Cao Zhengye that the whole person sobered up, first shocked, and then tears began to roll in his eyes, in his memory, Cao Zhengye almost never had such a big temper with himself.

"Daddy?" Cao Chan sobbed in disbelief.

Looking at his daughter's appearance, most of the fire in Cao Zhengye's heart disappeared......
