Lan Yuyan looked surprised by Chen Ao's sudden visit. When she heard about Chen Ao's intention, Lan Yuyan couldn't laugh or cry. However, the veil on her face did a good job of hiding her true emotions.

Lan Yuyan naturally couldn't refuse Chen Ao's kindness. The magistrate wants to personally help her do publicity and pull business. This is indeed a great honor and help for a normal businessman. Although Lan Yuyan is not a normal businessman. But she was obviously not willing to let Chen Ao see any flaws at this time.

Chen Ao and her stood at the gate of Fuxi Building, like jugglers running on the streets, standing in the middle of a group of people watching the excitement. Chen Ao delivered an impromptu speech full of enthusiasm, talking about the key role of business in the development of the Great Song Dynasty and Hulu County. He also greatly praised Lan Yuyan for leading the Persian caravan to choose to trade directly with the merchants of the Central Plains in Hulu County. Raising this matter to a strategic level is almost a great cause that will shine in the annals of history.

Lan Yuyan stood aside, listening to Chen Ao's glamorous speech, and only sneered in his heart. In the end, she still has to thank the scarf on her face, which hides her disdainful, ridiculous, and disgusting expression. Although she is half Han Chinese, after all, she grew up in Persia and is not so scheming. If it weren't for the gauze on her face, Chen Ao would have seen her weirdness a long time ago.

Chen Ao's speech on commercial Xingxian was finished, wiped the spit on the corner of his mouth, laughed, and said to Lan Yuyan: "Boss Lan, don't you say a few words?"

Lan Yuyan shook her hand awkwardly, indicating that she had nothing to say. Chen Ao was not reluctant, and generously stretched out his hand and shook it with Lan Yuyan's hand. Lan Yuyan was a little surprised, she didn't expect Chen Ao to know how to shake hands. Chen Ao held Lan Yuyan's hand and smiled at the people. It's a pity that there are no cameras in this era, otherwise there would have been a group photo of this grand meeting of these two important people.

Then Lan Yuyan invited Chen Ao into the Fuxi Building. The magistrate was kind enough to help her, so she naturally wanted to hold a banquet to entertain her. Chen Aole sat on the throne heavily, his eyes glanced around, and he looked at the people present, all of whom were the stewards of the Blue Jade Smoke Caravan.

Chen Ao still kept a smile on his face, but he snorted coldly in his heart. He pretended to be crazy and stupid for a long time, and now something in his heart has finally been confirmed. He stupidly accompanied Lan Yuyan to lunch, and when he was full of wine and food, he got up to say goodbye. Many people secretly slandered, could it be that this magistrate is here to eat and drink?

Lan Yuyan snorted coldly, looked at Chen Ao's back as he walked away, and stopped his subordinates' discussions. It doesn't matter if he's eating and drinking, as long as he doesn't get in her way.

Chen Ao walked farther and farther, convinced that Lan Yuyan and the others would not see him again. Chen Ao's face immediately sank. He didn't look back, and said directly to Qin Lang: "Qin Lang, you take someone to keep an eye on this group of Persians for me." Especially show me who they're going to trade with!"

Qin Lang nodded, but still said a little strangely: "My lord, what are we staring at them for?"

Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you tell me that this group of Persians had already found someone to do business with them?"

"yes. ”

"Then why did I come to cheer Lan Yuyan today, but she didn't invite those people who did business with her to have dinner together? This is human nature, even if she is a foreigner, she should know, right?" Chen Ao snorted coldly.

Feng Hu said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is suspicious of this Persian woman?"

Chen Ao nodded and continued to walk back. When Xuan Ning told him that among the horse bandits, there were several Hu people with strong martial arts, Chen Ao instinctively thought of the Persian caravan brought by Lan Yuyan. But at that time, this was just an unfounded association, and Chen Ao didn't take it seriously.

But after today's observation, he can already be fifty percent sure that he will suspect Lan Yuyan. Of course, he couldn't have guessed that Lan Yuyan was a horse bandit at once. He just suspected that maybe the blue jade smoke had something to do with a gust of wind. And her so-called business partner, could it be a horse bandit?

From this line of thought, many possibilities can be deduced. For example, if the horse bandits looted the caravan with a gust of wind, what was the use of them getting so many goods? Could it be that Lan Yuyan's caravan was selling the stolen goods to them? If so, of course Lan Yuyan would not dare to bring the people who did business with her to see Chen Ao today.

Lan Yuyan hadn't been to Hulu County before, maybe they still had trading points elsewhere. Or maybe in Hulu County, someone else traded with them. This time Lan Yuyan came in person, just because the things of this transaction are especially important?

Chen Ao thought all the way, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He thought of Xu Minghua in the county seat, Wu Guozhong, the chief bookkeeper, and the submissive Zhou Zhutou. After the businessmen besieged the yamen, Chen Ao had already become suspicious of these people.

First of all, Ximen appeared corpses and horse bandits threatened, and Chen Ao did not tell them why these three people knew everything about it. Is it possible based on the rumors they have heard? Moreover, in front of the businessmen, these people have no intention of resolving the crisis and resolving the contradictions. Instead, it behaved like fanning the flames, lest those businessmen not make trouble.

Chen Ao could only say that these three people were playing this kind of conspiracy in front of him, which was really too childish. Chen Ao is also the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he is also very prosperous in a place like the capital where the demons gather, how could he be caught in the way of these little minions?

However, although he knew about these inner ghosts, Chen Ao did not feel relaxed at all, but became even heavier. The water in this Hulu County is not ordinarily deep, and all the officials have actually become accomplices of a group of horse bandits. No wonder when the previous magistrate left, he was in such a hurry and didn't want to stay longer for even a moment.

Chen Ao sighed, this matter had to be discussed with Zhao Ling. Now none of the people in Hulu County can believe that their manpower wants to deal with so many people, and it is really a little stretched. At this time, maybe Zhao Ling can come up with some good ideas.

Chen Ao went all the way into the backyard, and as soon as he entered the garden, he saw several of his pretty wives sitting in the yard, looking at him with blank eyes.

Chen Ao touched his nose and said strangely, "See what I'm doing?"

Of course, they didn't want to say it bluntly, and they suspected him of going out to steal fish, so they laughed. Liang Xiaoya suddenly said strangely: "Huh, what about Sister Xuan, why didn't she come back with you?"

Chen Ao also wondered, "Xuanning, where did she go?"

Zhao Ling's mind was quick, and he thought, Xuan Ning went to look at Chen Ao, there was no reason for Chen Ao to come back first......?

Her heart jumped, Huo Ran got up, and said, "Nothing will happen to Xuanning, right?"
