Chapter 79 Exploitation

Shi Qiusheng got up and took out the paper in Gu Jiu's hand, pointed to the bottom of the second page, and gestured to the other party's handprint.

"Master Shi is so forced, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and join the Wang family?"

Hearing this, Shi Qiusheng smiled disapprovingly, and sat back in place leisurely, obviously not taking what Gu Jiu said in his eyes.

"You can get this opportunity purely because you helped Yu Yan before, you should know that the benefits above are what the seven people outside can't ask for, and they are also accessible to you in your life!"

"I also admit that you do have a lot of ghost ideas sometimes, but the key to whether you can gain a foothold in Cloud City is not to have more ghost ideas than anyone!"

Shi Qiusheng paused, poured a cup of tea, and continued: "As for Wang Yueyang, I know him better than you, he is a fox who has become a spirit, and he can't be relied on at all!" ”

"And...... Do you really think that the old immortal in Zhixian County is dedicated to the people? If he really thinks about the people, he shouldn't let others know about you when he plots against Lu to seek knowledge. Although the Lu family has fallen now, there are more or less always two families who play well, do you say that they can't move the county, and they can't move you? ”

"Therefore, signing and painting to become a member of the Shi family is the best path you can take!"

When Shen Xianyue went back, what she saw was Lin Guifei's complacent appearance.

"Beiyue, you say ......"

"Master, the prince has arrived."

Before Lin Guifei finished speaking, a small guy ran over and hurriedly reported.

"Guifei Niangniang, what did you just want to tell me?"

Shen Xianyue didn't immediately get up and go to the front hall to greet Zhou Tingyue like Xiao Qijing and the others, but walked up to Lin Guifei and asked again pretending to be puzzled, quite like listening to the cool words.

"Uh......"

Lin Guifei was stunned for a moment, and waved her hand: "It's all trivial, okay, let's go to the front hall too." ”

As he spoke, he got up and was about to go with Shen Xianyue, but when he slowly walked to Shen Xianyue's side, he suddenly collapsed.

Shen Xianyue: ??? What's going on?

Shen Xianyue looked at the body that had stopped in mid-air after falling, and couldn't help frowning suspiciously.

Is this waiting for her to react and help?

I'm sorry for that, I'm always slow to react.

"!"

"Niangniang, don't scare the slave!"

The maid on the side suddenly ran over and knelt in front of Lin Guifei at once.

Shen Xianyue looked around, except for her, they all went to pick up Zhou Tingyue early......

Looking at the maid who was blinking and shedding tears, Shen Xianyue suddenly felt offended.

Isn't it just a teahouse?

I haven't killed you yet, as for being so desperate?

Shen Xianyue squatted down, ignoring the maid's shouting, and directly put her hand on Lin Guifei's shoulder: Since you want to pretend to be unconscious, then pretend to be a little bit!

Shen Xianyue's subordinates used their strength to successfully make Lin Guifei faint in pain before the maid came up to drag her.

So, when Zhou Tingyue and others came over, they saw such a scene.

"This, this...... Beiyue, what's wrong with the concubine? ”

Xiao Qijing looked at Shen Xianyue a little confused, and then at Lin Guifei who fell to the ground.

How long has he been out, how can he suddenly be like this!

Imperial Physician He, who was standing on the side, stepped forward quietly, took out the gauze prepared in advance, and gently put it on Lin Guifei's wrist.

Doctor He frowned, thinking that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly felt it carefully.

Strange, isn't it pretending to be unconscious?

But Niangniang is really faint.

"How? What could be the reason? ”

Zhou Tingyue stepped aside, and his voice couldn't hear joy or anger.

"Back to the prince, Niangniang is poisoned."

Zhou Tingyue/Xiao Qijing/Lu Cheng: "??? Is this a play to come out? ”

Shen Xianyue: !! I poisoned myself and pit Lin Guifei, she shouldn't want to get it back this time!

As the so-called fear of something, Taiyi He's next words silenced everyone.

"Now it is impossible to tell what kind of poison Niangniang has been in, and the lower official implores the prince to immediately investigate what Niangniang has eaten."

Zhou Tingyue looked at Shen Xianyue, and saw that the latter shook his head lightly with a speechless expression.

"Mrs. Xiao."

Zhou Tingyue turned to Xiao Qijing and asked, "Is there a doctor in the house?" ”

"Back to the prince, there is."

"Call someone over to take a look, a person's medical skills will inevitably make mistakes."

"Yes, the next official will go."

After a while, the doctor in the house was called over, and after taking a closer look, he got up and saluted Zhou Tingyue.

"Back to the prince, Niangniang was just too worried, so she fainted."

"In that case, come here and send the concubine back."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician He was stunned and hurriedly looked back at Concubine Lin, but the latter didn't react at all, so he quietly let people carry him away.

Seeing this, he couldn't say anything more.

The other party is a prince with meritorious deeds, and he is just a small medical officer.

As the carriage that Lin Guifei went back slowly turned, the news that Lin Guifei was overly sad about Lin Qingqian in the Xiao family spread it in Shangjing.

"Lord Wang, please be seated."

After Lin Guifei was carried away, Xiao Qijing hurriedly led Zhou Tingyue to the seat.

At the same time, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart: Did Lin Guifei really faint? Did he think it was pretended?

"Mrs. Ben really didn't expect that Yue'er, the child, had only been back in Beijing for a few days, and he would have such a good relationship with the prince."

Lu Cheng stepped forward, sat next to Zhou Tingyue, and asked tentatively.

"Naturally, there won't be such a friendship these days, this king and Yue'er have known each other many years ago."

Hearing Zhou Tingyue's words, Lu Cheng couldn't help but be surprised, many years ago? Then King Yongan won't say anything to Xiao Beiyue, let her memory recover!

"Many years ago, this king fell in love with her, but unfortunately she disappeared suddenly, and when she saw Yue'er again, she lost her memory and forgot her past."

"But fortunately, even if she loses her memory, Yue'er still chooses this king again."

Hearing the second half of Zhou Tingyue's words, Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

During the conversation, Xiao Qijing stepped forward and handed over a cup of tea in person.

He Xiao Qijing had no intention of stirring up the struggle between the princes, after all, once he stood on the wrong team, it would be a catastrophe for the Xiao family.

Therefore, the Xiao family is only loyal to the emperor.

But now, the emperor is bent on eradicating the Xiao family, and the forces of all parties want to take advantage of the chaos to tear off a piece of the Xiao family's meat.

At this time, the Xiao family either has the ability to protect themselves, or they cling to a big tree.

Judging from the current princes, the crown prince is the most likely to be the emperor, but ......

Xiao Qijing thought of his wife's body and felt a fire in his heart - who is it, how can he use his life to treat his illness!

is so ruthless, if the Xiao family really follows him, there must be no good end!

Then only Zhou Tingyue, the king of Yong'an, remained.

Originally, he didn't consider this line, not because it was unsafe, but because it was too difficult to take.

Zhou Tingyue, the king of Yong'an, was arrogant by nature and never took anyone in his eyes.

On the surface, it is the team of the six princes Gu Mozhu who is standing, but in private, the six princes obey him, and the real control is still here in Zhou Tingyue.

But now things have taken a turn for the better, King Yongan has fallen in love with Xiao Beiyue, so isn't the Xiao family naturally divided under Zhou Tingyue's people?

It's a no-brainer!

Without Concubine Lin, Shen Xianyue didn't bother to be hypocritical with them.

"Lord Wang, my mother is sick and needs to rest, you can go to my yard with me, and I will show you the skills I learned before."

"Good!"

Without waiting for Xiao Qijing and the others to say anything, Zhou Tingyue had already stood up and walked towards Shen Xianyue.

Xiao Qijing just wanted to stretch out his hand to stop it, but suddenly thought of Lu Cheng's situation, so he directly acquiesced.

Without hindrance, Shen Xianyue and Zhou Tingyue quickly returned to the courtyard.

"Look at these."

As she spoke, Shen Xianyue took out part of the pile of paper and handed it to Zhou Tingyue.

"It's ...... The Xiao family colluded with the enemy country? ”

Zhou Tingyue looked at these paper letters with customs clearance stamps, and couldn't help but be shocked, he suspected that part of the Xiao family's money was not clean, but he didn't expect it to be so disgusting.

"It's not."

Shen Xianyue shook her head, gave him the half in her hand, and took his part.

"To be precise, businessmen from the Xiao family and other countries smuggled channels to trade and tried to monopolize some products."

"It's not a collusion with enemy countries, but it does affect Beichen's original financial revenue."

"To be precise, Beichen's current treasury situation is indispensable to the Xiao family."

Hearing this, Zhou Tingyue nodded, looked at it for a while, and then suddenly said, "Then what's going on here?" How is it that there is also a homicide. ”

"It was the death of these people that built the initial original funds for the Xiao family."

Shen Zeyu also suspected that these murders were related to the Xiao family at the beginning, but because too much time had passed, and the people who died unjustly were all powerless and powerless people, and the local yamen did not record all this in detail, just an ambiguous brush.

"These evidences are enough for the emperor to raid the Xiao family."

After reading it, Zhou Tingyue put down his things and said to Shen Xianyue.

"Hmm."

Shen Xianyue nodded, and shook her head again: "But not now, if we hand over things to the emperor now, we will lose a lot." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Now that we know about these private deals, we might as well dismantle them little by little."

Shen Xianyue paused and continued: "The reason why the Xiao family chose these, these are bound to make money, and the income is good. ”

"Anyway, we won't be loyal to the emperor in the end, rather than putting these things in the hands of the emperor and we can take them back, we might as well take them into our hands from the beginning."

After listening to Shen Xianyue's analysis, Zhou Tingyue's eyes narrowed slightly: "What about you?" ”

"What?"

"The Xiao family is harming you, don't you want to take revenge on them?"

Hearing this, Shen Xianyue smiled and stretched out her hand to smooth Zhou Tingyue's furrowed eyebrows.

"Ah Yue, it's just a Xiao family with no background, if I want to do it, they can die tonight. Do you think it's worth the mess for such a group of weakling? ”

"Ah Yue, that Gu Qingze is not simple."

"If we can get rid of him smoothly, we will be even!"
