Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 808
Su Shangshu pursed his lips, explaining the purpose of his visit, Xiao Cheng immediately donated 30 taels, and when Su Shangshu ordered the silver to be delivered back to the household department, Yuan Gang and Ruan Jing came.

Yuan Gang said angrily, "If the Ninth Princess hadn't been a hindrance, we would all be successful. The Yuan family lost nearly a hundred rice granaries, and donated another 1 taels. The money accumulated by several generations would be destroyed in her hands .”

Ruan Jing also suffered a heavy loss, and said: "The prime minister didn't see it, the gunpowder is extremely powerful. When I went to court, I saw Lord Yun also went to the Zichen Palace. The gunpowder is not only used for water conservancy, but the Shenjiying also wants to develop firearms." , if it is developed by them, it may be even more detrimental to us."

Yuan Gang's hatred was hard to subdue, and he said viciously: "The Ninth Princess is a scourge, our nemesis, Prime Minister, we can't let her spoil our good deeds anymore, we must kill her."

Prime Minister Xiao did not speak.

The study suddenly fell silent.

Prime Minister Xiao has become more and more unpredictable recently, Yuan Gang and Ruan Jing looked at each other, but didn't speak again.

After a long time, Yuan Gang couldn't bear the sluggish atmosphere, and said, "I don't know what the Prime Minister's countermeasures are. Brother Ruan and I can play by ear."

Prime Minister Xiao spoke heavily, and cast a glance at Yuan Gang: "I have reminded you long ago to be cautious in your actions, and don't leave anything behind. Now that your success has fallen short, what countermeasures do you want?"

Yuan Gang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed it embarrassingly.

Hearing this, Ruan Jing also had a somewhat unsightly look on his face, but it didn't show.

The hoarding of grain was Prime Minister Xiao's idea. The Xiao family stood by and watched, but the Yuan and Ruan families suffered heavy losses. The two families and the Xiao family were allies, not the dogs of the Xiao family. Ruan Jing was very displeased with Prime Minister Xiao's gesture.

Seeing that nothing happened, he got up and left. Yuan Gang saw him go, so he followed him.

Xiao Yu stepped into the study, puzzled, "Why did father offend them?"

Prime Minister Xiao had no emotion on his face: "In the early court today, someone unexpectedly recommended King Ning as an imperial envoy. These people are attached to the Xiao family, but they secretly plot against the Xiao family. They must see clearly who is a human and who is a ghost."

Xiao Yu was startled: "Prince Ning secretly wins over the Xiao family's influence? Does aunt know?"

Prime Minister Xiao said disdainfully: "Even your elder brother said that King Ning is a waste. Without your aunt behind the scenes, how could King Ning want to secretly win over the Xiao family's power while the Xiao family and Rong Jiu are fighting to the death?"

Xiao Yu frowned: "My aunt and the Xiao family have always been of the same mind. It is impossible to stab the Xiao family in the back. Father, could it be that minister made his own decisions?"

Prime Minister Xiao asked coldly: "If your aunt knows that the Xiao family has betrayed her and King Ning, do you think she will still have one heart with the Xiao family?"

Xiao Yu's expression changed slightly, and he said in a daze, "There are very few people who know about this matter, how did my aunt know?"

Even she only heard Prime Minister Xiao mention it not long ago.

Prime Minister Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his eyes: "In this world, there is no impenetrable wall."

"Rong Jiu!"

Xiao Yu's eyes trembled.

Could it be that Rong Jiu and King Ning joined forces?

But in recent days, Xiao Ruo often came to Xiao's house, whether it was for her or Xiao Yun, the caring heart didn't seem like a fake, if she had a different heart, it was really hidden.

Xiao Yu's heart felt cold and tight: "Father, I will definitely investigate this matter."

Xiao Yu has been close to Xiao Ruo since he was a child, and Prime Minister Xiao told him, "I've already sent someone to investigate, so don't meddle in it, and don't show your feet in front of your aunt, lest you startle the snake."
