CHAPTER XVII
Outside the small courtyard, the wind suddenly became stronger, rolling up dust and fallen leaves against the ground, and the weeds on the wall swayed wildly, sometimes flying in the air like flags, sometimes clinging to the wall, and the air was filled with an extremely tense atmosphere, and even breathing was tense. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the critical moment, Su Qiaoer was not alone.
There were several nurses and subordinates on her side, supporting her without hesitation, even if the person opposite was Luo Yuanyuan, the master of the inner family they had always feared.
The reason why this is so is completely due to Gu Xiaozhao's busy work in the past few days, and in Gu Zhai, he has already established preliminary authority.
On the contrary, it was Luo Yuanyuan, in the conflict a few days ago, he chose to retreat, gave up being tough with Gu Xiaozhao, had to abandon his companions, and let those guys be swept out of the house by Gu Xiaozhao, and then, there were still some rumors among the subordinates of the Gu Mansion and the nursing home, saying that after those guys were swept away, they had no food and clothing, Luo Changchang did not take care of these companions in the past, but let those guys fend for themselves, and had to go away and disappear without a trace.
A few days later, this rumor reached Luo Yuanyuan's ears, and at this time, it was too late for him to do something.
Because of these reasons, Luo Changyuan's prestige among these people suddenly plummeted, and Song Dazhi took the martial disciples of Tianhe Daochang to enter the Gu family, so except for a few hardcore henchmen, he could no longer command others.
Meng Zhaonan asked Luo Changchang to help, but it was understandable.
After all, he is based in the mines outside the city, and the exchange of information is not smooth, so he does not know exactly what is happening in the city.
When he found that more people were on Su Qiaoer's side, he felt in his heart that there must be a conspiracy in this, otherwise, even if Su Qiaoer was the daughter of Steward Su, a mere maid, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, would never have such prestige.
Luo Changchang chose to cooperate with Meng Zhaonan, and naturally had his own ideas.
In this matter, no matter from which point of view, the instigator is Meng Zhaonan, he just thinks that Meng Zhaonan is reasonable, and he is on Meng Zhaonan's side! Therefore, even if things go wrong, others will not want to blame him, and the man who is behind the blame is naturally Meng Zhaonan.
In this way, it is human nature to push the boat along the river.
Last time, because Dayi was not on his side, for the sake of the so-called fame, he chose to retreat and did not dare to take the next step.
Not this time, he wasn't afraid to make a move.
As long as Su Qiao'er is forcibly restrained, the rest of the matter will be handed over to Meng Zhaonan, so that it is the best policy to attack and retreat and defend.
Both sides had no intention of backing down, and Song Dazhi, who was able to intervene on the side, chose to stand by and watch, so conflicts were inevitable.
At this moment, a voice came against the wind in the small courtyard.
"What are you doing?"
The voice fell, and Gu Xiaozhao flashed out from behind the corner door with a hesitant expression.
Song Dazhi's eyes have been falling there, he has never left for a moment, and he has never missed Gu Xiaozhao's expression, at first, Gu Xiaozhao looked irritable, like a brother who got up and was very angry, however, when he walked out of the corner door and stood behind Su Qiao'er, those irritable emotions disappeared on his face, and his whole face was like a playing card, becoming expressionless.
What must be being hidden?
As for what he was hiding in the end, Song Dazhi thought he had guessed!
Seeing Gu Xiaozhao, Meng Zhaonan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then, the expression on his face became a little embarrassed, since Gu Xiaozhao came out of the courtyard, then the order not to disturb anyone came from him, not Su Qiao'er pretending to pass on the holy decree.
Therefore, his previous speculations were nonsense.
Meng Zhaonan coughed a little embarrassed, cheekily ignoring the previous conflict that he almost caused, he changed the topic and mentioned the issue of the mine, looking quite excited, after all, in his opinion, this matter is related to the survival of the Gu family.
Even if he offended Su Qiao'er and disturbed the young master's good deeds when he didn't know it, with the existence of this matter, the young master shouldn't be held accountable, right?
Speaking of which, I am also loyal!
After listening to Meng Zhaonan's words, the expression on Gu Xiaozhao's face changed slightly, and he was no longer a poker face, and of course, he would not panic.
He had expected this!
Although he couldn't guess exactly what the specific thing was, he also knew that something bad would happen against himself and the Gu family.
The choice of mine as a breakthrough did not exceed his expectations.
After all, that mine not only brought the Gu family a huge amount of monetary income, but also because of the existence of chalcedony, it was also of great help to the Gu family's connections, once the mine was taken away from the Gu family, his own house would not only lose financial support, but also lose those connections and relationships that had been operated by chalcedony for many years.
Whether it is the loss of money or connections, it is a fatal injury to one's own family.
The so-called snake beating seven inches, those guys targeted the mine, which is also the right thing to do.
It seems that some people are starting to get serious!
This time, I don't know who is standing behind it?
In the past, it was the Gu family's room that was aimed at him, after all, as long as he died, everything in his own house would be swallowed up by his own family.
However, if you are alive, there is no reason for your family to swallow your own house.
After all, although he has the same ancestral hall, his name is also recorded on the Gu family's sect plate, because he is a clan that has returned from outside, and he has saved the entire Gu clan, and his own house is separated from his own clan, and the relationship between the two sides is not up and down, but on an equal footing.
If you want to change this situation, you can do it in a short time.
This time to attack the mine, is the force behind it still the Gu family?
In this regard, Gu Xiaozhao can't be sure.
After all, the current Gu family is a big piece of fat in the eyes of those wealthy families in Qinghua County, and anyone who wants to step forward to bite it is just a child walking on the street with gold at night!
"Young Master, what should I do?"
Meng Zhaonan looked at Gu Xiaozhao with a sincere expression.
Gu Xiaozhao looked at everyone, his eyes stopped on the face of Song Dazhi, who was standing on the side and pretending to be deaf and dumb, and then glanced at Luo Yuanyuan, who had nothing happening, and finally, turned back and landed on the face of Meng Zhaonan, who was standing solemnly in front of him.
"Why did the people of Xujia Village suddenly tear up and jump, why did the county lieutenant intervene, and did the people of Xujia Village have other forces behind them besides the county lieutenant, do you know anything about these things?
Gu Xiaozhao's tone was not hurried, and there was no panic at all.
Meng Zhaonan's originally flustered and nervous mood suddenly relaxed slightly, he took a deep breath, and his tone became calm, no longer as rapid as before.
"Young master, it happened suddenly, the reason behind this, the villain doesn't know anything, but he has also sent reliable people to inquire around, hoping to find clues, because the other party only gave us three days, the matter is urgent, therefore, before the information comes back, the villain is in a hurry to return to the city......"
After finishing speaking, Meng Zhaonan glanced up at Gu Xiaozhao.
How to deal with the whole thing?
Now, it's up to the other party to decide!
Gu Xiaozhao put his hands behind his back, took two small steps forward, and then stood still.
He glanced at Luo Yuanyuan, who was pretending to be respectful and solemn on the side, and asked softly.
"Steward Luo, what do you think about this matter?"
Luo Changyuan smiled and said loudly.
"Some time ago, the young master's health was not good, and there was no backbone in the family, which caused outsiders to watch, but now, the young master is in good health and manages the family business in an orderly manner, everyone seems to have taken a reassuring pill, plus, Brother Song and others are stationed in the Gu family, everything is on the right track, some guys with ulterior motives want to deal with our Gu family, but they don't know what to do!"
After a pause in his voice, Luo Changyuan lowered his head and bowed to Gu Xiaozhao.
"Everything is decided by the young master, it's just that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!"
Gu Xiaozhao chuckled and nodded.
"Steward Luo said it well, as long as we are united, even if a strong enemy presses the border, it is just a villain, and it will be wiped out in a snap of a finger......"
"Good!"
The cadres and others cheered in unison, and the applause was thunderous.
The applause stopped, Gu Xiaozhao stared at Song Dazhi, his eyes were sharp, and he pierced Song Dazhi's face like a nail, and he said word by word.
"Third Senior Uncle, can Tianhe Dao Field give me an accurate explanation of this matter?"
"Oh, how do you say?"
Previously, Song Dazhi also applauded, but it was a professional applause, just like those variety shows on the earth, just a guest who reacted, and the applause seemed intense, but there was no sincerity.
At this time, he also looked at Gu Xiaozhao's gaze with a little smile.
"Can Tianhe Dao Farm abide by the agreement signed before, stand on my side, and advance and retreat with me!"
Song Dazhi did not hesitate at all, he laughed loudly.
Since we were invited by Young Master Gu to serve the Gu family, the so-called getting people's money and wealth to eliminate disasters for others, no matter who we face, we will stand on Young Master Gu's side, Young Master Gu, but please rest easy!"
"Good!"
Gu Xiaozhao clapped his hands excitedly.
"In this world, there is not only a fist, but also a reason, an agreement is an agreement, since we have the title deed of that mine, and the agreement signed with Xujiacun has not expired, even if the other party feels that it is a loss and wants to re-sign the agreement, it must be kind and requested, the two sides negotiate, like now, actually give us an ultimatum, what did I take as my Gu family?"
Walking to the middle of the crowd, Gu Xiaozhao waved his arm vigorously and said loudly.
"When a friend comes, there is good wine, and when an enemy comes, there is a bow and crossbow! As long as everyone is sincere and united, there is no hurdle that cannot be crossed, and there is no mountain ...... that cannot be crossed."
After listening to this generous and fierce speech, a group of people shouted in unison as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Of course, how much sincerity and how much falsehood there is in this, only Gu Xiaozhao knows it, he only needs to glance at everyone, and in the sea, the cyan nebula is spinning, and he immediately knows who is being fooled by his own words, and who is pretending to be enthusiastic.
Fortunately, there are three or seven points.
Three points false, seven points true!
Morale is available!
