Just as Xiao Yu was pacing back and forth in the study to think about countermeasures, someone knocked on the door of the study.

"What's the matter!" Xiao Yu was already in an anxious mood, and when she heard someone knocking on the door of the study, she was even more impatient.

"My lord, Wang Zhongyun's housekeeper outside the door asks to see you!" The person who knocked on the door of the study was Xiao Yu's housekeeper, Xiao Huan, this Xiao Huan was from Xiao Yu's companion to the current housekeeper of Xiao Mansion, and it can be said that he is Xiao Yu's henchman.

"Huh?" When Xiao Yu heard Xiao Huan say that it was Wang Jue's housekeeper coming to the door, she immediately raised her eyebrows slightly, thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Take him to the front hall and wait for me!" ”

"Yes!" After Xiao Huan heard Xiao Yu's order, he directly took the order and turned around, came to the gate of Xiao Mansion, and asked the porter to open the side door.

"Steward Xiao, long time no see! Turning back to the east of Xiafumanlou, how about asking the housekeeper to have a few drinks? Wang Xing said to Xiao Huan, although he is also a housekeeper, but Wang Jue's current official position is not comparable to Xiao Yu, and they all say that the prime minister is a third-grade official in front of the door, and now Xiao Yu is the Duke of Song Guo, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and belongs to a high position, so Wang Xing also wants to be good friends with Xiao Huan.

Xiao Yu glanced at Wang Xing, for Wang Xing, Xiao Yu is no stranger, after all, they are all housekeepers of family officials, and they are all a little moving, and sometimes when they accompany their own masters to the court, they also bow their heads and don't look up to see them, there is no need to fight evil, not to mention that the family is intertwined, why bother to fight with them!

"In this way, thank you Steward Wang for the invitation!" Xiao Yu smiled and said to Wang Xing, "My family is changing clothes in the back, and there is a housekeeper of King Lao in the front hall!" ”

While speaking, Xiao Huan took Wang Xing into the front hall of Xiao Yu's house.

Wang Xing naturally didn't dare to sit down, so he stood in the front hall and waited, and his eyes didn't dare to look around, after all, he was just a housekeeper, and he just came to give Wang Jue's letter to Xiao Yu, so he stood with his hands down and stood in the front hall, as for Xiao Huan, he went to the study to inform Xiao Yu.

About tea time, Xiao Yu went to the front hall under the guidance of Xiao Huan, and Wang Xing, who was standing with his hands hanging down in the front hall, hurriedly bowed his head.

"The villain Wang Xing, I've seen Lord Guogong!" Wang Xing knelt on the ground to salute Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu squinted, glanced at Wang Xing, and saw that Wang Xing bowed to himself, and the breath of annoyance and anxiety in his heart that was in the study just now was actually reduced a lot because of Wang Xing's bowing ceremony.

"Get up!" Xiao Yu sat directly on the main seat, looked at Wang Xing who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly, at the same time, a maid sent the teacup to the coffee table next to Xiao Yu's hand, Xiao Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of soup tea, and after putting down the teacup, he looked at Wang Xing standing in front of him with an indifferent expression: "What is the reason why Steward Wang came this time?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, my family has a letter for the villain to present to the Guogong!" After Wang Xing saw that there were only him, Xiao Yu and Xiao Huan in the front hall, he took out a letter from his sleeve.

"Take it!" Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Huan, and Xiao Huan went over to take the letter in Wang Xing's hand and presented it to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was not polite, directly pulled out the letter paper and looked at it carefully.

The content of the letter is not complicated, that is, to invite Xiao Yu to go to the Wang family and discuss the plan to deal with Lu Chen with several other families, after all, Wang Wei and the two families lost 15,000 acres of fertile land to Lu Chen, and the Zheng family was even worse, and was directly pitted by Lu Chen in five mines, although the Xiao family did not have any loss, but it also allowed Lu Chen to sweep Xiao Yu's face, which was the reason for them to stand on a front against Lu Chen.

And the concept of these families is: "What cannot be used by me, can be removed!" ”

What's more, since following Li Yuan to observe Lu Chen's Lujiazhuang, these families have not been idle, and naturally they have also sent their eyes to keep an eye on Lujiazhuang, and the development of Lujiazhuang is even more like a day, judging from the situation that Zheng Shanguo and Wang Wei were pitted twice by Lu Chen in a row, it is more difficult to want Lu Chen to stand on the side of the family than to ascend to the sky, since this is the case, it is not ruthless to make Lu Chen disappear, as for Li Jiancheng's matter of wooing Lu Chen, these families have also seen it, and they just want to use Li Jiancheng, Therefore, it is better to let Lu Chen stand on the side of the family, if not, you can't let Lu Chen become a "stumbling block" for the family.

"You go back and reply to Wang Zhongyun, just say that this guild will go to the banquet on time!" After reading the letter written to him by Wang Jue, Xiao Yu directly stuffed the letter into his sleeve, then looked at Wang Xing and said lightly, while picking up the teacup on the side.

How could Wang Xing not see that Xiao Yu meant "serving tea to send guests", and hurriedly responded: "The villain will go back and inform my family!" After speaking, he saluted Xiao Yu, turned around and walked outside the front hall.

"Xiao Huan, you go and send him!" Xiao Yu said to Xiao Huan meaningfully.

"Yes!" How could Xiao Huan, who had followed Xiao Yu for half his life, not understand the meaning of Xiao Yu's words, and directly caught up with Wang Xing, who had just walked out of the front hall, and then took Wang Xing around the back house with twists and turns and came to the back door.

"Steward Wang, if you come to the house again in the future, you can go through this door!" Standing at the hidden back door, Xiao Huan pointed to a small wooden door in front of him that was a little dilapidated and said, "It's an eventful time now, and being talked about is a little bad for our family!" Xiao Huan said with Wang Xing meaningfully.

can become the housekeeper of the officials of the family, how can there be a fuel-efficient lamp, follow those adults of their family, many things, these housekeepers are clear, so the meaning of Xiao Huan's words, how can Wang Xing not understand.

"Steward Xiao reminds us! It's a reckless attack! Wang Xing hurriedly apologized to Xiao Huan, obviously the matter of his coming to Xiao Yu's mansion today should be spread out, now the prince and the king of Qin are in the same boat, and his own lord Wang is a person from the East Palace, and his housekeeper is blatantly coming to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Civil Affairs today, I am afraid that when my lord goes to the court next time, it will inevitably be participated in by the officials of Tiance Mansion.

"Today's matter, my family will naturally have something to say to block those people's mouths, but remember not to be so reckless in the future!" Xiao Huan said with a smile to Wang Xing.

"Taught!" Wang Xing once again gave up with Xiao Huan, but this time the two had returned to the front door of Xiao Mansion, "So, I'll leave next!" In a few days, the appointment of Fumanlou, Steward Xiao should not forget it! Wang Xing winked at Xiao Huan and said.

"Write it down below! Steward Wang, walk slowly! Xiao Huan smiled, threw his hand at Wang Xing, and then sent Wang Xing out of the Xiao Mansion through the side door.

"My lord, that Wang Xing has already left!" After Wang Xing left, Xiao Huan returned to the front hall to report to Xiao Yu, and at the same time inadvertently saw the letter burning in the charcoal basin, Xiao Huan naturally knew what was burning in the charcoal basin, so after glancing at it, it was as if he hadn't seen anything, waiting for Xiao Yu's instructions.

"Hmm!" Hearing Xiao Huan's reply, Xiao Yu nodded, "Xiao Huan, how can you not give these five mines and 15,000 acres of fertile land to Lu Chen?" "Thinking of the Zheng family's loss to Lu Chen's five mines, and Wang Wei's two family's loss to Lu Chen's 15,000 acres of fertile land, Xiao Yu felt a terrible pain, although these families are all thousand-year-old gates, family members, more than 100 mines in their hands, and taking out five mines is just a drop in the bucket, but when I think of this, I will undoubtedly cut the meat from the family, Xiao Yu still has some pain in the same breath, after all, it has always been the family that collects things, how can there be any reason to take it outside, plus Lu Chen also touched Xiao Yu's face, which made Xiao Yu even more angry, If Lu Chen really gets these things, the family will be left to hide their faces.

But he couldn't think of how not to give Lu Chen mines and fertile land for a while, after all, he had a note in black and white, Lu Chen had a copy in his hand, and there was a copy in the hands of Emperor Li Yuan, as soon as he thought of this, Xiao Yu had a headache, and his housekeeper Xiao Huan also had some ghost ideas, not to mention that Xiao Huan was still Xiao Yu's confidant, Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask Xiao Huan's thoughts.

"My lord, although there is a document to back it up, but the villain thinks that since the note says that it is within three months, if it is within three months, we can..." Xiao Huan also heard about the Zheng family's bet with Lu Chen, which said that if Zheng Shanguo lost, he would hand over five mines to Lu Chen within three months, and he should not be too far away from Chang'an, and Xiao Huan meant to let the family make a fuss about time, so when he said the last few words, he directly made a knife to wipe his neck.

The meaning is obvious, if within three months, Lu Chen disappears, then what is the use of this note?

"That Lu Chen has just entered the blast furnace iron-making method, the emperor favors that Lu Chen, and the back guards around him are well-equipped, not to mention that His Majesty has just given him three thousand guards, and at the same time, he has also been promoted to the Duke of Chang'an County, if you want to get rid of him in a short time, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" The method that Xiao Huan said, how did Xiao Yu not think about it, when he was pacing back and forth in the study just now, Xiao Yu thought about this situation, but this kind of thing is not something that can be done, that is the county prince of Chang'an, you killed a county prince who was favored by the emperor for unknown reasons, and Li Yuan had to blow it up?

"My lord, we don't have to kill him! As long as he loses his power, His Majesty will not want to see him at that time, and even lose his official position and be dismissed, so what is the use of this note? Xiao Huan suggested with some self-righteousness.

"It's hard! Now that this Lu Chen is popular, what can make him ruined? As long as it's not a crime of killing his head, he can't be shaken in the slightest! Last time when he was only in white clothes, he dared to think about the Taiji Palace, and in the end, he should be a marquis from time to time, and His Majesty just gave him a grounding order because of his feelings, and a little reprimanding is okay? Xiao Yu frowned helplessly, looked at Xiao Huan who was standing in front of him and said.

"The crime of killing the head..."Xiao Huan pondered for a moment, "My lord, what will happen if this Lu Chen disrespects Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Xiao Huan suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he leaned into Xiao Yu's ear and whispered.

"Huh?" Hearing Xiao Huan's words, Xiao Yu's eagle-like eyes also lit up.
