the first lady

Chapter 229

"Ziyi, the only daughter of the former Tianzun Palace Master of Sanssouci Palace?!" Qiao Yishu asked with extreme affirmation.

"Hmm." Zong Zhengyi wasn't very surprised, "I'm afraid she will harm Linger, if it's possible..."

"Being a man must be trustworthy. Since you have agreed to the last words of Palace Master Tianzun, you must abide by them." Qiao Yishu seemed to know what he wanted to say, and quickly interrupted, and then said: "If she is still stubborn If you change it, just as you said before, let’s make a deal, and I’ll kill her for you, as for the terms of the deal... that is, you must treat Ling’er well for the rest of your life, how about it?”

Qiao Yishu's words hit Zongzhengyi's heart, and after a long time, he said, "Second brother just doesn't say anything, I must be her in my life."

"I believe you!" Qiao Yishu said seriously, and then took out a bottle from his arms and handed it over, "This is what you want, remember, it can only last for 36 hours!"

Zong Zhengyi took the small bottle and nodded solemnly, "Thank you, second brother." After a pause, he said, "You are Linger's best brother!"

Hearing this, Qiao Yishu froze for a moment, then showed an unknown smile, the best brother...?

After investigating with two lines, they quickly got the base behind the scenes. Just as Qiao Linger expected, the two lines are connected behind the scenes.

It's just that there is a hidden barrier in front of the truth, which isolates the real behind-the-scenes people from the outside world.

Qiao Linger, Zongzheng Yan, Feng Qing, and Zhui Ming sat around the table, with a white piece of paper spread out in front of them, on which was the distribution map they had sent people to follow.

The source of Xianle San is concentrated, but just like all walks of life, from the headquarters, it will also be scattered to various places, and spread out from all places.

Now there are four strongholds on the paper, and there are three more left after the headquarters.Although the three places are just branches, the power of these three places is not small, and they tend to be comparable to the headquarters.

The headquarters of the drug production is in a place called Hongye Villa, which is located in the easternmost part of Bairuo City, and is also the place closest to foreigners.

The Red Leaf Villa is named after its red maple. It has always been a major scenic spot in Bairuo City. If Feng Qing's subordinates hadn't been able to investigate well, they probably wouldn't have been able to find the most poisonous place, which would be the most famous scenery. place.

"Second sister-in-law, capture the king first, we can go to Hongye Villa first." Zong Zhengyan looked at the instructions on the picture and came to the most primitive conclusion.

As long as the Red Leaf Villa is taken down, other things are naturally out of the question, after all, it is the real origin of the drug den.

"No, go to the other three places." Qiao Ling'er vetoed this opinion after a moment of silence, and said without waiting for their questions: "Although Hongye Villa is the base camp, it mainly provides Xianle San. Even so, Their defense is definitely not weak. Compared with the other three places, it is definitely more difficult to break through.

"Besides, being able to produce so many Xianle Sans is definitely not what ordinary people say. What we need to do now is to force out the people behind the scenes. The three branches are just their wings, so first cut off these three lines , even if we confront the people behind the scenes, we can definitely weaken their power."

Qiao Ling'er did not create the trick of luring the enemy deep, but it is the most practical method now.

Instead of exposing yourself and putting yourself in danger now, it is better to do something that is beneficial to you now.

Zongzheng Yan and Feng Qing thought for a while, and they finally nodded in agreement. This method is indeed safer than directly targeting Hongye Villa.

"Also, there is a phenomenon that I don't know if you have noticed." Qiao Ling'er narrowed her eyes and said flatly.

"What phenomenon?" Zhui Ming asked.

"This time, the spread of Xianle San covers almost the entire Bairuo City, including the shopkeepers of our six great families here, but among the six great families... haven't you found anything special?" Qiao Ling Said with a reminder.

Zongzheng Yan couldn't help but frowned, the six great families...

"It's the Huo family!" Before Zongzheng Yan could react, Feng Qing had already made a deep voice.

"?" Zongzheng Yan looked at him in confusion.

There was a dangerous message in Feng Qing's eyes, and he said coldly: "Yan, our six great families are here, but we have forgotten the most important place because we pay too much attention to these fairy music. The Feng family and the Zongzheng family People from the , Qiao family, Bai family, and Ning family have all taken Xianle San and become addicted to it, but the Huo family..."

"Damn it, it turns out they are playing tricks!" Before Feng Qing finished speaking, Zong Zhengyan had already punched the table heavily.

Some people in the shops of the Huo family sold Xianle San, but compared with other big families, their presence was easy to ignore, but it couldn't change the fact that they were safe and sound.

Women are careful, but not everyone is like Qiao Linger.

When she first heard the news in the capital, she had been a little aware of it, but at that time she was only suspicious. Later, when she came here, she went here with Lanfeng and Zhuiming to secretly check many shops of the Huo family. The expression made her sure.So much so that the night spy later made her even more sure!
They still don't know exactly what the Huo family did, but they definitely have something to do with it.

Among the six great aristocratic families, the Huo family's business is the most scattered, almost all over the Nanwu Kingdom.Naturally, Bairuo City is indispensable, and the fifth among the six great families will definitely not be so easy to sit in this position.

But among these six aristocratic families, the Huo family is the most low-key, they don't fight or grab, and sometimes people even ignore their existence.

Qiao Linger's knowledge of the Huo family is limited to their breeding business, especially the horse farm. Among the several big families, the Huo family not only breeds the most horses, but most of them are war horses.The Huo Family didn't involve much in other fields.

Before she followed Feng Qing to divorce, and representatives from the Huo family also came to propose marriage, but later she found out that it was because of a problem with the horses, and many horses died of illness.At that time, one of the horses was a military war horse, and after it died, it needed cash flow. It happened that she and Feng Qing had divorced, and it was a large sum of money to climb up to Qiao's house.

In other words, the Huo family doesn't have much affection for outsiders, but when they have to, they will still choose to follow suit.

"It's still not completely certain that the people from the Huo family are playing tricks," Qiao Ling'er looked at the impulsive and red-eyed Zongzheng Yan, and said, "These many Xianle Sans are not a small amount. What is the cost of development? I don't know, but such a large amount of research and development is definitely not something that a few people can do, I'm worried..."

"The people behind the Huo family, right?" Feng Qing took Qiao Ling'er's words.

Qiao Ling'er didn't refute, nodded, and said: "If the people behind the scenes can manipulate the Huo family, I'm afraid they really have ulterior motives. We must not take it lightly. Moreover, if they see through our actions, they will hug us. If we all die together, the situation will be even more difficult to control."

Suppression must be suppressed, but if they are pushed into a hurry, regardless of the cost, the entire Bairuo City will definitely fall into panic by then.

"Okay, I understand." After a long time, Feng Qing nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Where should we start?" Zhui Ming also became seriously serious, and he had completely integrated into the topic.He knew that Qiao Ling'er was not stupid, but he didn't think that she would think so far, and every link was tied together, which really had to be paid attention to.

"The three places are all at the same distance from Hongye Mountain Villa. Hongye Mountain Villa is on the line between Sun Moon Building and Huojia Horse Farm, and this place is also at the same distance." Qiao Linger used goose feathers to connect the lines on the so-called map. , which draws an equilateral triangle.

Feng Qing and Zong Zhengyan didn't care at first, after all, they didn't think about the distance.But now that Qiao Ling'er ticked it off like this, she could see it clearly.

A triangular shape is along the border of Bairuo City, which is the border with the outside world. It was not visible at first, but it can be seen clearly when it is ticked out.

Qiao Linger frowned when she saw this connection. Is it a coincidence or intentional?
"Qu Clan." Zhui Ming suddenly said two words in a low voice.

"What?" Qiao Ling'er, who was nearby, couldn't help asking when he heard his words.

Zhui Ming looked at the position on the map, pointed to the position after the connection, and said to her: "From here onwards is the sphere of influence of the Qu Clan."

The Qu Clan... Qiao Linger suddenly had a flash of light in her mind, and it was so fleeting that she couldn't catch it.

"Where is the Qu Clan?" Qiao Linger asked several people present.

Zongzhengyan glanced at the place over there, and had some calculations in his heart, and said: "The Qu clan is just a small clan, and they are almost closed except for a little contact with Bairuo City, and the people of the Qu clan His personality is eccentric and he doesn't know how to make friends with people."

"Will it be related to the Qu clan?" Feng Qing also narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.

"Regardless of whether it has anything to do with the Qu Clan or not, if the Qu Clan is behind the Red Leaf Villa, this matter is beyond our scope of activities." Qiao Linger said flatly.

Zongzhengyan and Fengqing are not indifferent people, so they naturally know the situation.

If it is just a matter of the Huo family, then they can do it through their own merchants. If it continues to the Qu family beyond their expectations, then the matter is definitely not so easy to solve.

No matter how small the Qu clan is, it is still a clan. A clan that is equal to Nanwu Kingdom in political status is also a small country.If the Qu clan is behind the Huo family, then it is related to the power of Nanwu Kingdom, and the economic issue between private individuals has risen to that between countries, and it is not their merchants who can intervene.
