girl let me check

Chapter 352 Autumn Wind
Nancheng camp, where Jinwu Guards is stationed on the right.

"Master Gao, there is a large-scale riot in front of the Uehara Wang family's residence. Should we maintain order?"

"Large-scale riot? In front of the Uehara Wang family?"

Gao Jing was a little puzzled.

"Can there still be large-scale riots in front of the Wang family in Uehara? Could it be those blind mobs again?"

The Jinwu Guard soldier who reported to him swallowed his saliva: "Many...many people, and...the Donggong Guard troops led by King Guangling Fang Weihan."

"Fang Weihan?" Gao Jing couldn't sit still at all. "You mean, King Guangling Fang Weihan led his troops and people from the East Palace Guards to surround the Uehara Wang family's residence?"

He stood up quickly, grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted.

The soldier replied in fear: "Yes, that's it."

Gao Jing let go of his neck and slowly fell back to his seat.

"……damn it."

He cursed silently.

Although the Bohai Gao family is not too familiar with the Uehara Wang family, they are still part of the Heshuo family. If he stood idly by at this time, he would surely suffer revenge from the Uehara Wang family later.

But let him have a head-on conflict with Fang Weihan? Of course Gao Jing doesn't have the guts.

Behind Fang Weihan are the Xiao family and the Xie family! These two families are both civilized and military. As long as they are willing, they can almost destroy the Bohai Gao family without any blood. Gao Jing tried his best to please Xie Linwan and finally became familiar with her. How could he give up halfway now?

He had to get out of this dilemma.

"You go out first."

Gao Jing waved his hands distractedly.

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

When he came back again after finishing other things, he was horrified to find that thick smoke was billowing from his commander's main tent and several surrounding barracks.

The autumn wind blew by, and a ten-foot-high flame burst out from the roof beams. The rising heat wave made it impossible to get close.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind assisted the power of the fire. The Youjinwu Guard station turned into a sea of ​​fire.

A high-pitched roar rang out: "Put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly!"

……

A carriage stopped on the side of Tianjie.

"Sir, the situation has changed."

A lean and thin old man whispered to the people in the carriage.

Xing Chen, a monk of the Five Elements and Sixth Level of Wood, is the Dean of Qinghuo Academy.

There are currently three sixth-level and five-element monks in Qinghuo Academy. Among them, Dean Shi Danglu was neutral on the surface, but in fact he was biased towards the emperor. Xing Chen serves as the worshiper of the Wang family and is a member of the Wang family in Shangyuan. The rest of Yu Shen didn't help anyone, scolding anyone who was unhappy.

Jiang Shan is responsible for protecting Wang Tun's safety, while Xing Chen is responsible for protecting the patriarch's heir, the eldest son of the Uehara Wang family, Wang Boguang.

"The people we sent to Zuojinwu Guard were kicked out without even seeing Feng Xi's face. It seems that they are determined not to stand with us."

"Normally, Feng Xi is Tao Yan's old subordinate. In order to let him take office, Tao Yan handed over the power of appointing and removing the garrison of Jiubian Dongsan Town. He and we are destined to be different." Wang Boguang said lightly, "It doesn't matter, originally I don’t expect Zuo Jinwu Guard to be able to help. What does Mr. Gao say?”

"Youjinwu Guard..." Xing Chen sighed, "Perhaps because of the dry weather, a fire suddenly broke out in the camp of Youjinwu Guard, almost burning down half of the camp. It is said that even General Gao's main tent was affected. They are now We are busy putting out fires and have no time to come to suppress the civil uprising.”

"Oh?"

Wang Boguang smiled sarcastically: "The fire is so serious? Can Master Gao's main tent be burned down?"

"Hmph...this old slick guy."

He stroked the jade pendant with the word "Wang" on his waist, kept silent and fell into thought.

After waiting for a while, Xing Chen couldn't help it anymore: "Sir, with all due respect. We can't afford to waste any more time now."

"If the left and right Jinwu guards cannot be counted on, the Uehara Wang family will no longer have troops that can be mobilized near the capital. That means that we cannot solve this crisis through coercive means."

Xing Chen didn't say anything.

The Uehara Wang family can actually use coercive measures.

In Changming City, there are two worshipers from the sixth-level family of the Uehara Wang family, plus several senior family elders, as well as more fifth-level monks, and there are countless monks from Qingyun's fourth-level monks.

Although their numbers are slightly insufficient, if they go on a killing spree, they will naturally be able to easily resolve this crisis.

But this is a desperate strategy, which is no different from risking one's life. Unless the lives of the clan members are threatened, it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

"The troops stationed in various places and the soldiers and cavalry of Bingzhou are too far away to come at the moment. Mr. Zhongshu is still trapped in the mansion, waiting for us to save the situation."

Xing Chen eagerly raised his hands and said.

"Master, please come with me to Luojing immediately. At this point, the crisis can only be saved with the help of the entire family. I hope you will not hesitate any longer!"

One of the two conditions proposed by Fang Weihan was to completely abolish the Renyazi organization, which was an unacceptable condition for the entire family. The method proposed by Xing Chen is indeed the best way to alleviate the crisis at hand.

"No, we can't change anything by going to Luojing now."

Wang Boguang waved his hand.

"why?"

"Because someone has already arrived before us."

His eyes were cast to the distant east, which was the direction of Luo Jing.

"Fang Weihan cannot be called a foresighted person. He always acts on his own initiative, but he has a good habit. Before doing anything, he will discuss it with his close assistants."

"Whatever we can think of, Xie Jiayoulan can also think of."

Wang Boguang said coldly.

"He took advantage of us this time, and we were originally at a disadvantage in terms of time. As expected, Xie Lingyuan has arrived in Luojing now. There are too many secrets in Chenjun Xie's possession. With her in Luojing , it is almost impossible for us to persuade those aristocratic families to join in the pressure.”

"Wang Min's people actually committed such an unjust and cruel act, putting the family into such a passive situation. They must be held responsible for this. I think the governor of Qingzhou should not do anything. He should simply take the blame and resign."

"What we have to do now is not to find ways to turn the tide, but to find ways to minimize the losses."

Wang Boguang opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped out. In front of him was a majestic and simple palace.

"The crux of the matter lies with Fang Weihan, and we still need to leverage our efforts to solve Fang Weihan's problem."

"The Lord of the East Palace will give us a satisfactory answer."

……

……

The sound of horse hooves was heard, the wheels rolled over the rough ground, and the axles creaked.

The girl's hair was swaying in the wind, she raised her head, and the blue sky seemed to be reflected in her pupils.

"Miss, Luo Jing is here."

The carriage stopped slowly, and the maid's voice sounded respectfully.

"Ah."

With the help of the maid, Xie Lingyuan stepped down from the carriage gracefully.

The autumn wind blew, and she wrapped herself in a snow-colored dress.

The carriage stopped outside a luxurious manor. She was greeted at the main entrance of the manor by a smiling old man.

"Lingwan has met grandpa."

The girl bowed and saluted, her manners impeccable.

The patriarch of the Xie family in Chenjun, Xie Mingren, Duke of Chenjun. Anyone who has seen him will say that he is a very kind old man, but few people know that a kind old man cannot control a huge family.

Upon hearing Xie Lingwan's greeting, Xie Mingren did not speak, but observed her with a smile for a moment.

"It seems like my granddaughter is having a good time?"

He said meaningfully.

Xie Lingyuan smiled and replied: "No illness, no disaster, no suffering, no difficulty, naturally I am living a good life."

"When you were a child, you always didn't think Grandpa You had a lofty vision. How about it? Now you finally believe it?"

Xie Mingren chuckled.

"When I made that decision, almost everyone in the Xie family was opposed to it. I think they all regret it now."

Xie Lingwan knew that the "decision" he was referring to was the engagement with Fang Zun. To be fair, Xie Lingwan had very complicated feelings about her grandfather.

On the one hand, the main reason for causing a lot of suffering to him was Xie Lue's unauthorized decision, which had nothing to do with Xie Mingren. But on the other hand, it was precisely because of Xie Mingren's acquiescence that Xie Lue acted more and more unscrupulously, and even openly started a fight within the Xie family in Chen County.

Xie Mingren is like a high-ranking king, and his children are like ministers under the throne. The king sat high on the dragon throne and watched coldly as the ministers below were fighting each other.

"That's probably what I think."

Xie Lingyuan agreed with a smile.

Xie Mingren smacked his lips with some dissatisfaction: "You were very affectionate to grandpa when you were a child, but now you have adopted such a polite and distant attitude. Alas... I really forgot about grandpa after I got a husband..."

"Grandpa... let's get down to business."

The smile on Xie Lingwan's face was still impeccable.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Xie Mingren waved his hand helplessly, "I've called him for you. If you have anything to say, just go in and say it directly."

"Remember, Lingwan, you will always be the pride of the Xie family in Chenjun."

He suppressed his smile and said solemnly.

"After my death, you will be the next head of the Xie clan in Chen County."

Xie Lingyuan was silent for a moment: "...Grandpa, I have moved my family and expelled my family registration. Now I am considered the Xie family of Dongshan, not the Xie family of Chenjun."

"It's all the same. It's just a name. Don't mention Dongshan Xie, Xishan, Beishan, or Nanshan will all do. Whatever you want to be called in the future."

Xie Mingren said with a smile.

"As long as you still call me grandpa, this family is destined to be yours."

The girl expressed no comment and just smiled politely at him.

She pushed open the main door of the living room, and many people from aristocratic families were already sitting in the hall. They packed the spacious hall to the brim, and at first glance there were dozens of people.

I am afraid that all the representatives of the most powerful families in the Zhou Dynasty are gathered in this room.

"You guys have come as promised. I'm very grateful to you."

The girl sat down at the main seat with an elegant and majestic smile.

"I believe you have heard about the topic I want to discuss today."

Xie Lingyuan said calmly.

"I want you all to hand over all the business of human trafficking to me, Mr. Xie of Dongshan."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

The representatives of the aristocratic families exchanged glances, all frowning and shaking their heads, and most of them were obviously reluctant.

The patriarch of an aristocratic family said: "Miss Xie, with all due respect..."

"I will buy the stranded population in your hands at three times the market price. As the price of monopolizing the population transaction, the Xie family of Chen County will withdraw from the competition on the Northwest Commercial Road and Shanggu Farm, and transfer the rights to more than a hundred sites under its name. ownership."

Xie Lingwan interrupted him directly and continued.

"Silk trade routes and market trade?"

"She was actually able to take out these two things?"

"This……"

"Is she crazy?"

The total revenue of Northwest Trade Road and Shanggu Forecasting Market is not under the human trade, but unlike the human trade, these businesses will not be treated coldly by the people.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Xie Lingwan's behavior is a business that is sure to lose money.

After a burst of discussion, silence returned to the living room.

"Miss Xie, are you sure you can represent the attitudes of Chenjun Xie and Dongshan Xie?"

"I'm Xie Lingwan, I'm sure."

"Then, deal."

……

……

"Your Royal Highness, I hope you can go to the Uehara Wang family's residence in Qingxinfang and persuade Prince Guangling Fang Weihan to leave."

Wang Boguang bowed and said.

Fang Tang looked at him calmly and did not agree.

"Wang Sheren is trying to make Gu stand out as a villain." She smiled, her eyes narrowed, and she was calm and confident. "His Royal Highness Prince Guangling is Gu's guard. He naturally has his own reasons for doing things, and Gu will not stop him."

"I never said I wanted Her Highness to be a villain."

Wang Boguang smiled.

"This matter is due to the Uehara Wang family's improper behavior, but if King Guangling continues to act like this, it will not end well for everyone. We can agree to the two conditions he proposed, but definitely not in a threatening way."

Fang Tang tapped the table lightly: "Wang Sheren, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"It's very simple. I want to make a deal with His Highness." Wang Boguang said calmly, "The Uehara Wang family will agree to the two conditions proposed by Fang Weihan, but Your Highness needs to go and persuade Fang Weihan to leave."

"At the same time, after His Highness ascends the throne, I can make the decision and hand over 50% of the admission quota to Qinghuo Academy to His Highness."

Fifty percent of the admission quota for Qinghuo Academy is a considerable amount of wealth, which is equivalent to controlling nearly half of the power to appoint and remove officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As long as she has these quotas, the plans that exist in her mind can be launched early.

Like the imperial examination system...a system that can really shake the foundation of a family's rule.

"As for how to operate it, it is entirely up to His Highness."

Wang Boguang said with a smile.

"After all, in the eyes of those people, the Uehara Wang family did not want to accept the conditions until His Highness showed up."

"In this way, Your Highness has won the love of the people, the anger and grievances of the people have been vented, and we have reduced our losses. It can be said that everyone is happy, isn't it?"

Fang Tang: "..."

Is everyone really happy...?

The girl saw Wang Boguang's true purpose at a glance. If his plan is followed, everyone in the entire incident will benefit.

The people's anger came and went as quickly as it came. As long as the Uehara Wang family bowed their heads, they would be satisfied and dissipated.

The face of the Uehara Wang family was preserved and the losses were stopped in time.

He gained the friendship of the Heshuo Family and the right to enter Qinghuo Academy, and was the biggest beneficiary of this incident.

But...what should Fang Weihan do?
From his perspective, would he understand what he was doing?
What he wanted was for the Uehara Wang family's reputation to be discredited, but he sabotaged his plan without authorization and attributed the benefits to himself.

Isn't it normal for a boss to take away the credit that belongs to his subordinates and make them work in vain?

Besides, I have no connection with him, and he has not suffered any losses, so why should I hesitate?
Fang Tang, please agree!

She clenched her hands tightly, biting her lower lip slightly, and her fingertips turned white from the pinching. My heart was beating like a burning fire, and all the cells in my body were shouting: Don't say those words!

The girl took a deep breath, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and stubbornness.

Nothing can bend my will! Not even extraordinary power!

Don't you want me to do this? That's what I'm going to do.

"I agree."

Fang Tang raised his head and agreed generously.

"Your Highness, happy cooperation."

Wang Boguang smiled and bowed.

The autumn wind suddenly picks up, and the cicadas outside the hall make a shrill sound, singing their last songs before death.

In the Guangling Palace, the girl in white clothes frowned slightly.

The light spots on the river map flickered, and the luck actually shifted.

"Fang...Tang?"

Her eyebrows were furrowed, and a hint of hostility flashed across her eyes.
