Ye Ming squinted at Miaotong, and was thinking about giving her some more chicken blood.

But I saw Miaotong suddenly chanting something like "true love is invincible" in her mouth, and after a while, she regained her confidence and became lively and cheerful.

This makes Yeming very pleased, very good, girl, you have learned to motivate yourself!

After regaining her self-confidence, Miaotong said again:

"Big ...... Master, let's go, let's go to the cat demon. ”

Ye Ming smiled, stretched, and turned to the direction of the mansion:

"I'm not going, you can go by yourself!"

"Ah, how can this be done, you are the sect leader, you can't give up halfway!"

"The sect leaders are all commanding in the rear, where are they running outside every day, right?"

"Well, but there are only two of us, if you ...... again"

"Miaotong, you have to remember that as a great 'pure love warrior', you must have the courage of thousands of people, how about two people? What about being alone?

As long as the faith in your heart endures, you have endless strength and the support of countless people in the world who are hungry for true love.

Therefore, you are not alone, behind you, there are thousands of like-minded people! ”

"Yes, Master, I see!"

"Well, that's good! Now, continue your mission! ”

Miao Tong nodded again and again, and left with an excited face.

Seeing this, Yeming smiled and nodded:

"Everything is good, but it's easy to forget the original intention, and I need to mention it again and again, which is a bit troublesome.

You need to develop the instinct of self-motivation as soon as possible! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the Jia family with a smile and walked leisurely in the direction of the mansion.

......

There is a large lake in Binh Bo Province called Lake Mubo.

This lake is the distribution center of the waterway operation of Pingbo Province, and it is very prosperous.

There are many large flower boats floating on the lake all year round, and these flower boats are all famous flower girls and prostitutes in Pingbo Province.

These boats are a safe haven for the families, a cash cow, and a place of discussion.

Today, on the largest flower boat in the lake, the old men of the four families and three merchants gathered together, as if discussing major matters.

Even Mei Ji, who is called to accompany her on weekdays, can only wait on the outer deck.

The first person sitting in the boat is Lou Fucheng, next to him is Lin Fuwei, and there is also the head of the Yan family who is the magistrate of Pingbo Mansion, and the head of the Jia family who is in charge of the boat in Pingbo Mansion.

Another group of people is the representative of maritime merchants, ship merchants, and land merchants.

It can be said that the people on this boat are the head snakes of the entire Pingbo Mansion, hiding the talkers.

Suddenly called here, a few of them didn't know what was going on.

The chief maritime shopkeeper asked first:

"Ladies and gentlemen, but what is there that has happened that requires all of us to discuss it together?"

After Captain Lin glanced around, he said slowly:

"Since everyone is here, let's talk about the general situation!"

To put it simply, there is a newly recruited army on King Fu's side that needs to conduct combat drills.

It had nothing to do with them, so they didn't have to worry about it at all.

But the bad thing is that the location chosen by this army for the military exercise is actually "Fuyin Mountain".

This Fuyin Mountain is not an ordinary place, but a famous blessed land in Pingbo Province.

It was the place where the major gentry families spent a lot of money to invite the high-ranking people.

Nowadays, the ancestral tombs of the major families are all on Fuyin Mountain.

In particular, the ancestral tombs of the four major families are located in the four key points of the earth's veins in the mountains.

It can be said that the prosperity of the four major families today is due to the contribution of the ancestral tombs.

Now that there is an army to conduct a military exercise in Fuyin Mountain, what is the difference between that and directly digging their ancestral graves?

Well, there is still a difference, at least the tomb robbers are certainly not as clean and thorough as the army.

As a big family, they know the urine nature of those army commanders.

These people will never give up the God-given opportunity to dig up their ancestral graves in order to earn money.

After everyone heard what Captain Lin said, their faces were gloomy.

It is true that they are the head snakes of Pingbo Mansion, but they do not have the courage to be tough with the Fu King who holds a large army.

Now facing this, I suddenly feel numb claws.

Someone said: "In my opinion, it is better to prepare more gifts, beauties, etc., and give them to the commander of the army."

These soldiers are all stinky hills, they have never seen the world, and a few women should be able to get rid of them. ”

Lou Fucheng, who was sitting in the first place, shook his head and said:

"If it could be solved so easily, the official wouldn't have called you here.

In fact, just after receiving the news, the official sent someone to send three boxes of jewelry and twenty beauties.

As a result, after General Wang received all the things, he said that the location of the military exercise was determined by the prince, and he had no right to change it. ”

"Huh? That prince doesn't know that Fuyin Mountain is where my ancestral grave is located? ”

"The prince is not from Pingbo Mansion, how do you know?"

Someone looked at the head of the Yan family and said:

"Master Yan, your daughter is the prince's favorite concubine, can you help hand this matter over and let the prince know, so that the net can be opened?"

As the head of the Yan family, who was "unfortunate in three lives, the county is attached to Guo", heard the words and asked rhetorically:

"Do you know why my daughter, who is not very good-looking, can become the prince's favorite concubine?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and some didn't know why.

The head of the Yan family said slowly:

"Because she is stupid, she will only play some petty things and do stupid things all day long, and she doesn't know anything about political affairs and the like.

Do you know why the concubines who were favored by the prince in front of him died violently?

It's because they meddled in things they shouldn't have interfered in, and they all went into the water to feed the fish. ”

When everyone heard this, they also understood the difficulties of the Yan family master.

I am afraid that this path will not work, and if it is forced, it may backfire.

This method did not work, and other methods were discussed, but it was either difficult to implement, or it could not be transmitted to the prince's case at all.

After discussing it for a long time, there was no proper way.

Many people looked at Lou Fucheng, who was sitting in the middle and had never spoken.

Someone couldn't help but ask if Lou Fucheng had a way.

Lou Fucheng, who had been silent, glanced at everyone, and everyone was quiet.

Lou Fucheng said slowly:

"Everyone, don't forget, there is one in the government who can talk to the prince."

"Master Lou, you mean, Yuan ...... Magistrate? ”

"He? Will he help us? ”

Lou Fucheng glanced at the direction of the mansion and sneered:

"This one is probably waiting for us to intercede now!"

"Master Lou, you mean?"

Lou Fucheng shook his head and said:

"There are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, everyone, now all the authority I have in the government has been taken over by this one.

Although the official still wears the hat of a mansion, it is actually no different from a vacant position.

The other party is singing this play now, it should be necessary.

This time, the official called you here to ask, is it to serve or fight? ”

None of the people present were stupid, and after a few glances at each other, no one dared to argue.

Seeing this, Lou Fucheng said:

"The prince is now in charge of Luzhou, and his arrogance is like fire, maybe he is looking for an internal authority.

This official, like all of you, doesn't want to be this object.

In this case, some losses must be beared. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed lightly, and at the same time felt relieved.

For these big families, it is nothing to suffer some losses for a while, as long as the basic plate is still there, they can keep the family alive.

Next, after everyone roughly finalized the bottom line of each family's loss, they selected the three major merchants as representatives and went to communicate with the government officials.

On the contrary, the four major families did not come forward.

Early in the morning of the second day, the people of the three major merchants went to the government to visit Yuan Zhixin.

Seeing these people coming, Yuan Zhixin was very happy, and he planned to go out to greet them.

It's just that before he left, he was stopped by Yeming.

"My lord, how can you break your promise if you say that you will accompany you to play a game of chess today and then deal with official business?"

Yeming pointed to the chessboard and invited Yuan Zhixin to sit down.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhixin glanced at Yeming and said with a smile:

"When that's the case, play chess."

In this way, the two played chess in the middle of the room, guarding Yuan Zhong at the door.

The people of the three merchants couldn't see Yuan Zhixin for a while, so they had to wait in the lobby.

It's an hour, and it's really worrying.

In normal times, when they encountered such a situation, they would have thrown their sleeves and left.

But at this time, shouldering the safety of their ancestral graves, they can't be capricious, so they can only wait here obediently.

A man went to Yuan Zhong's side and asked:

"How long will it take, sir?"

"The adults are very busy, and no one will be seen for the time being, and no one will be allowed to enter."

Yuan Zhong blocked the door, not letting this man look in.

This person was helpless, and was about to turn around and go back to the hall to sit down, but he saw a girl jumping in from the outside and directly from Yuan Zhong.

Yuan Zhong had no obstacle to this.

Seeing this, the man asked:

"Why is this girl allowed to enter?"

"She is a mage invited by adults at a high price, so she can naturally enter."

“......”

As he was talking, he saw Jiang Xinlin entering with a pamphlet, but Yuan Zhong still didn't stop him.

"Why did he get in?"

"It's confidential, do you want to know?"

“......”

Yes, how can you not know about this, people are deliberate.

But they didn't dare to lose their temper yet, so they could only wait patiently.

After a while, after several officials of the "Shumin Pavilion" went in and out, they finally heard a greeting from inside.

Yuan Zhong only allowed them to enter.

When I entered, Yuan Zhixin and Yeming were leisurely packing up the chess pieces, obviously, they had just finished playing a game of chess.

Ye Ming didn't look at these people, but smiled and said to Yuan:

"My lord, you are busy with this matter, even the time for the next game of chess is not enough, I'm afraid that only when he has nothing to do in the day can he enjoy the next game."

Yuan Zhixin also smiled:

"It's not easy to be so busy, if the world is settled in the future, you and I can see each other again, and we must talk about it when it's dark."

The two of them laughed again.

After that, Yuan Zhixin turned his attention to a few people.

Knowing that these people were the representatives who were pushed out, Yuan Zhixin was not polite, first pretending not to know, and then pretending to be surprised.

Then he began to express his difficulties, mentioning that the prince needed salt, iron, grain, etc.

In this regard, the three merchants had already expected it, and immediately guaranteed that they could supply enough for the things that the prince needed.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhixin nodded with satisfaction, and planned to agree to this matter.

Yeming interjected, saying that Pingbo Mansion was short of manpower, and he also hoped that the four families and three merchants would take care of the matter of transporting these things to the prince.

Sanshang naturally didn't want to take this matter, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to agree.

In this way, the matter is roughly settled.

Specific matters will be discussed in detail by the members of the "Shumin Pavilion".

After sending the representatives of the three merchants away, Yuan Zhixin looked at Ye Ming and said:

"Sir is really clever, let the four families and three merchants personally escort things, which not only saves the government soldiers, but also prevents them from doing anything on the way to transport."

Ye Ming smiled: "It's just a small means, and besides, there is another one." ”

"What?"

"The men of the four families and the three merchants did not have a regular army under their command.

If you want to escort this large amount of materials, you will inevitably mobilize a large number of young and strong laborers and major dart boards.

In this way, their power in Pingbo Province will be greatly weakened.

And aren't adults currently lacking a chance to shake their foundations?

What a godsend! ”

Hearing Yeming's analysis, Yuan Zhixin's eyes lit up:

"Yes, yes, God-given opportunity, God-sent opportunity!"

"However, once the adults start to try to pry the foundation of these families, it will undoubtedly make both sides endless.

At that time, the adults will also suffer their wrath and retaliation. ”

"It doesn't matter, a gentleman is a man in the world, how can he be afraid of hardships and dangers and stop there?

No matter what means they have, this official has taken it! ”
