These people looked over, plus the eyes of several princes and princes, and all the eyes together, the sense of oppression brought to people was not ordinary.

But Li Qiao's expression remained unchanged, just looking at the third prince as he did just now.

"Oh? Where did you choose? ”

The third prince asked.

The fifth prince didn't speak, but his brows furrowed all of a sudden, but he quickly returned to his original state, and he looked at Li Qiao expressionlessly.

The British duke's face sank, and he didn't speak.

Yan Anbang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Lord Xiao Li, where did you get into your eyes?" ”

"If you go back to the third prince and Lord Yan, the next official is Weiqing County in Yuanhe Province."

Li Qiao replied truthfully.

"You chose Weiqing County?"

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, and he looked at the fifth prince with a gloating expression.

The fifth prince's face was already gloomy as water.

The British Duke exhaled, his hand behind his back clenched into a fist.

Yan Anbang didn't seem to see the strangeness of these two people, stroked his beard again, and asked, "Lord Xiaoli, the new wharf on the Grand Canal is much richer than Weiqing County." ”

"What the adults said is very true, but although the place next to it is rich, for now, the lower official can't go, so the lower official chose Weiqing County."

"If Weiqing County can become a wharf on the Grand Canal, it will be much easier for merchants from the north and south to go to Pingcheng to buy vermicelli in the future."

"For the sake of Xiaguan's parents and fellow villagers, Xiaguan chose Weiqing County."

Li Qiao's answer was very detailed, and the reason for moving out was beyond reproach.

"It's really admirable that Lord Xiao Li always cares about his hometown fathers."

Yan Anbang praised with a smile.

Several other adults also praised it.

There are also those old princes, who also praise Li Qiao for not forgetting his roots.

But the faces of the five princes and the British prince were already as black as the bottom of the pot.

The third prince didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement: "Lord Li, what you said can be regarded as offending the fifth brother, he is begging his father to move the dock belonging to Weiqing County to Daze Mansion." ”

"Huh? This ......"

Li Qiao made a surprised and helpless look, he blinked his eyes, and looked at the five princes cautiously: "Five princes, the lower officials, the lower officials, the lower officials, this ......"

The fifth prince stared at Li Qiao's face, and he couldn't wait to smash this face with his fist.

He didn't believe that Li Qiao didn't know that he wanted to reroute the Grand Canal before, and at this time, he was acting in front of everyone, and this pretentiousness was deliberately blocking him!

"Have you made up your mind that you have to choose Weiqing County?" He asked coldly.

"Forehead ......" Li Qian hesitated, looking hesitant.

The five princes were upset when they saw it, and the anger in their hearts was rising.

If the Grand Canal really goes through Weiqing County, then Daze Mansion will lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

It is true that there are many new wharves on the Grand Canal, but only a handful of them can develop from small villages and counties into prefectures and become a north-south trade center in the future.

Dasheng has been established for decades, and the territory outside Shengjing has basically been divided up by the nobles.

With Sheng Jun's victory over the world, the group of heroes belonged to Shengjing, and there was no one, and these nobles were all outsiders.

Therefore, those new docks that seem to have unlimited potential are also being targeted by the local nobles in his hometown, if he goes to grab these new docks, it is tantamount to offending people, and more importantly, he may not be able to grab them.

Therefore, it is the most cost-effective deal for him to divert the Grand Canal and abandon Weiqing County.

Daze Mansion also belongs to the territory of the British public, once Daze Mansion repairs the wharf, then the land price will definitely increase, and the passenger flow will also increase.

As long as Dasheng is not extinguished, the interests of Dazefu will always be firmly in the hands of his department.

But who knew that his father suddenly gave Li Qiao such a great grace, and Li Qiao, a madman, was really as worried about him in the past two days, and chose Weiqing County without hesitation!

This is a counterattack, and the one surnamed Li is fighting back.

The surnamed Li must have felt that he had framed Xu Ying, so he was deliberately working against him.

However, it was indeed him who framed Xu Ying.

"Lord Li, how can you give up Weiqing County?" He gritted his back molars, stared at Li Qiao and asked word by word.

When Li Qiao heard this, he immediately stopped spitting, he first sighed, and then looked at the fifth prince with a pair of clear and bright eyes: "Xiaguan has been worried about Lord Xu Ying recently, fifth prince, who do you think is framing Lord Xu?" ”

He looked at the Five Princes with a gaze that was not sharp, but very firm, and his mouth was asking questions, but his eyes had already determined that the matter was led by the Five Princes.

The fifth prince didn't expect that Li Qiao would convict him in front of a group of powerful ministers and nobles in the Taiji Palace, and he was bold!

But subconsciously, his heart jumped when he was seen by Li Qiao, his hand hanging by his side clenched, and his eyes moved away for a moment, and then he continued to look at Li Qiao.

Li Qiao quietly took the reaction of the five princes into his eyes, and he had a judgment in his heart.

Xu Ying was framed, and it must have been done by the five princes.

At this time, the five princes were extremely confused.

knew that his father would give Li Qiao such a grace, and he would definitely not choose to do it to Xu Ying at this time.

Sometimes he really suspects that this surname Li is a wild species that his father and emperor have left outside, otherwise why is he and Li Qiao biased towards Li Qiao every time he faces his father?

Because of this grace, now Li Qiao has pinched his life!

He shouldn't have listened to the words of the British Duke and his mother, he should have gone to Li Qiao in advance!

After his father's grace came out, he was worried that Li Qiao would take a fancy to Weiqing County, so he wanted to go to Li Qiao at that time.

But the British Duke and his mother knew that he was anxious, and they were afraid that Li Qiao would see the flaws and clichés if he contacted Li Qiao in private, so he was not allowed to go to Li Qiao.

Both the British Duke and his mother felt that Li Qiao must have known that he wanted to divert the Grand Canal, and the two of them felt that Li Qiao did not have the courage to snatch meat directly from his mouth.

He is the fifth prince, and before this, he has not directly confronted Li Qiao, so the British prince and his mother both feel that Li Qiao is unlikely to be stupid enough to provoke him directly.

So he endured his anxiety and didn't go to find Li Qiao.

But who knew that the madman surnamed Li who was not afraid of the earth and the earth really wanted to snatch meat from his mouth!

However, he has already made a move on Xu Ying, even if he finds Li Qiao first, then under Li Qiao's suspicion, Bacheng will not let go.

Therefore, it was his good father who got him into this predicament.

If it weren't for the grace given by his father to the surname Li, how could he only be incompetent and furious at this time!

For a while, the strong resentment towards Sheng Hong and Li Qiao overwhelmed him like a tide.

But it has already been done, and it can only go all the way to the dark.

He looked at Li Qiao and snorted coldly: "Lord Li, Lord Xu Ying, the Criminal Department will find out the truth, you asked me at this time, you asked the wrong person." ”

"Aside from this, how can you give up Weiqing County?"

"Lord Xiao Li, why don't you think about it again?"

At this time, the British Duke also opened his mouth with a dark face to bring the topic back: "If you choose other docks, then the silver you will get in the future will be much more than that of Weiqing County, a small county." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but Xia Guan has many businesses in his hands, and there is no shortage of silver at present. Besides, if there are more merchants who go to Pingcheng to buy vermicelli, the lower officials will receive more silver. The lower officials can also get a lot of benefits by choosing Weiqing County. ”

Li Qian replied respectfully.

In terms of etiquette, he will not be caught by the British duke's pigtails, every time he sees the British duke, he is respectful, so that the British duke can't find the slightest mistake.

The British Duke looked at Li Qiao's well-behaved appearance, and it took a lot of effort to not smash the fist behind his back into Li Qiao's face.

The grievances of duck goods and gambling houses were instantly hooked out by Li Qiao's words, but what he couldn't get with all his efforts was something Li Qiao didn't care about at all.

The young man in front of him looks inconspicuous, but he is like a flea, and he is the most annoying!

The fifth prince was also annoyed by Li Qiao's seemingly frivolous words, but every word had the smell of money.

He grinded his teeth and was about to continue to "persuade" Li Qian to change his mind.

But the third prince on the side suddenly said: "Fifth brother, what are you doing like cannibalism?" Father said it, let Lord Li pick at will. If it weren't for Lord Li, the Grand Canal wouldn't have been built now. ”

The third prince said, looking around at everyone: "Those who want to share the cup of the Grand Canal today have to thank Lord Li." ”

He pointed to the second prince and the fourth prince: "Second brother, fourth brother, do you say?" ”

"Naturally, that's the reason."

The fourth prince smiled and nodded: "Lord Li, I have to thank you." Why don't you go out for a drink later? ”

When Li Qiao heard this, his heart moved, and the four princes made an appointment with him!

The ability of the second prince is mediocre, and he does not have the ability to compete with the third prince and the fifth prince, but the fourth prince and the sixth prince have this ability, and they are all successful.

He was troubled that he had no intersection with these two princes before, but today, the fourth prince took the initiative to ask him!

The corners of his mouth turned up, a smile appeared on his face, and he was about to agree, but at this time, the Seven Princes suddenly hurried into the palace.

The Seven Princes were still at the entrance of the palace, but they had already shouted from their mouths: "Lord Li, Xu Ying's case has a result!" ”

"What?!"

Li Qiao was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly turned her head to look at the Seventh Prince.

Seeing the faint smile on the Seventh Prince's face and the beads of sweat on his forehead, he was moved.

However, he first arched his hand apologetically towards the four princes: "The fourth prince, it involves the case of Lord Xu Ying and Xu, and I am afraid that the lower official will not be able to drink with you today." ”

"It should."

The fourth prince understands very well.

Obviously, he also knew about Xu Ying's imprisonment.

"Let's make an appointment another day!" After Li Qiao finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the Seventh Prince.

At this time, the fifth prince and the British prince, whose faces were as black as the bottom of the pot, gritted their teeth and hurriedly followed.

The third prince will never miss such a bustle, Xiao Qi found out so quickly?

It's a bit of a surprise.
