Chapter 153
When Li Huizhi died, Zhou Yanwu didn't show much grief and indignation, but if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean he didn't mind.
Perhaps it was a scar hidden in his heart that no one else could touch.
The child's words were undoubtedly a sharp knife, poking at his old wounds.
Look at the lively, cheerful, talkative and laughing Xiao Chongwu, and look at Changkang, and you will know how pitiful a child without a mother is.
Maybe he already had the heart to owe this child, otherwise he wouldn't have coerced Xiao Yuzhuo to recognize Zhou Changkang as his adopted son, forcing her to give him a few percent interest.
"Whose child is it?" Zhou Changkang asked with a serious face.
Liu Lanxue just slipped that child back.
The kid looked about six or seven years old, and there were still crumbs of snacks on his mouth and face.
Seeing Zhou Yanwu's dark face, he was afraid, "I... I didn't push him on purpose!"
"Who taught you those words?" Zhou Yanwu asked.
The child was too frightened to speak.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Don't be afraid, it must not be your idea to say that Mr. Zhou is not good, right? Who said it in front of you? If you say it, General Zhou won't be angry with you gone."
The child glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo, and lowered his head timidly, "The aunt in the house told me about it. My aunt said that the child born by my aunt in the future will be the legitimate son of the Zhou family. This child , the ones that can’t grow up…”
bang.
Zhou Yanwu raised his hand and patted the table beside him.
The chicken wing wood desk was shattered by his palm.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed.
"Come here, expel all the distant relatives who live in the mansion out of the mansion!" Zhou Yanwu ordered, "Look at which concubine's room their female relatives have gotten close to in the past few days, and sell the concubine's room!"
The child didn't know if he understood, but now he was trembling with fear.
Zhou Yanwu ordered again: "When driving them out of the mansion, make it clear that their children dare to compete for the food of the little man, and even scared the little man to tears! Anyone who doesn't take the eldest son of my Zhou family seriously, Zhou Mansion can't tolerate them!"
Zhou Yanwu defended Zhou Changkang in such a way that the people in the latter's family would take this motherless child seriously.
Holding Zhou Changkang's nanny, she couldn't help but straighten her back.
After Zhou Yanwu gave his orders, he suddenly saw Xiao Chongwu coming out of his mother's arms, walking to Xiao Changkang's side, spreading his white and tender palms.
In the palm of his hand lay a small square snack, but the corners were a little bit broken by him.
"Eat, don't cry." He still couldn't pronounce the words clearly.
But he could tell that he meant to comfort his younger brother.
Zhou Yanwu squatted down, hugged Xiao Chongwu into his arms, looked at the wound on his forehead, and blew lightly, "Little Chongwu, does it hurt?"
Chong Wu stared at a pair of big watery eyes, and shook his head seriously.
Zhou Yanwu grinned.
"Give it to brother!" Xiao Chongwu spread his palms.
"There's only one piece left, eat it by yourself at Chongwu," Zhou Yanwu said.
Xiao Chongwu stubbornly shook his head, "Give it to my brother!"
Zhou Yanwu let go of him with a smile, "Let them play, my lady, please come to the main hall."
Xiao Yuzhuo told the nanny and Liu Lanxue to take good care of the two children, then got up and followed Zhou Yanwu into the main hall.
"I have always disliked General Jing, but General Jing's son, perhaps because he grew up next to his wife, makes people feel kind and pleasing when they look at him." Zhou Yanwu said with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, showing no modesty.
"My lady asked about Mr. Yun, why?" Zhou Yanwu asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him, "Because Mr. Yun is here in Wancheng."
"What?!" Zhou Yanwu was startled.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him suspiciously, isn't this reaction too big?
I saw Zhou Yanwu frowned, and there was worry in his eyes, "He came to Wancheng without telling me, he came secretly without telling me... So, does he no longer trust me?"
"General Zhou?" Xiao Yuzhuo didn't hear what he muttered to himself, so he couldn't help calling him.
Zhou Yanwu nodded, "I know him...Moreover, I have dealt with him before."
Xiao Yuzhuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, "I asked the general for advice, I really found the right person."
Zhou Yanwu smiled wryly, didn't he find the right person?He used to be Master Yun's minion!
"Isn't it strange, my lady, I was born as a military officer, why did I gain the trust of the Holy Majesty and was sent to Wancheng as a garrison general?" Zhou Yanwu said in a low voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Why?"
"It was Mr. Yun who helped me move around. Mr. Yun has quite a lot of contacts in the court and among the dignitaries in Beijing." Zhou Yanwu said.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback, "I heard that he has always shown his face and refused to show his true face, saying that no one has ever seen his true face?"
"This is obviously an exaggeration. It can only be said that most people have never seen his true face. Some people he relies on the most do know his identity." Zhou Yanwu said.
"He is just the owner of a gambling house. He is so mysterious and has a wide network of contacts. What is he trying to do?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Zhou Yanwu took a look at Xiao Yuzhuo and sighed, "It was Mr. Yun who made me come to Wancheng. He asked me to come to Wancheng because he wanted me to take my wife away! Later, seeing that there was no hope of taking my lady away, he called me Killed the lady."
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback, "When did I offend him?"
Could it be because of the Dexin Cabinet?
It wouldn't be because it crushed his business that he would kill people to silence him, right?
"Because the lady is the person General Jing cares about the most, and His Royal Highness King Yue will never forget the lady. If you kill the lady, you can provoke discord among several parties." Zhou Yanwu looked at Xiao Yuzhuo and said, "If you kill the lady, put the cause of her death On the Holy Majesty, would General Jing still swear allegiance to the Holy Majesty? Would the King of Yue still be willing to be a fief prince?"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned tightly.
Sure enough, it's not because of business matters?
What Young Master Yun is plotting seems to be—the world is in chaos?
"he……"
"He wants the world to be in chaos, and he wants the current emperor to suffer from it! He wants to profit from the chaos." Zhou Yanwu said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't recover for a moment.
Zhou Yanwu continued, "I was loyal to him wholeheartedly, because without him, I would not be where I am today. I may still be submerged in the army, and I will not have a bright future. It was he who helped me meet me. Seeing the beloved Sixth Princess, he was the one who helped me rise up the ranks of the soldiers, who made me the general of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the general of the Wancheng Garrison..."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Zhou Yanwu with some fear.
"But I saw the change of the sixth princess with my own eyes. Huizhi was originally a kind and lovely little lady, but she was blinded by hatred. She couldn't see the people around her who loved her and treated her well. She only wanted to see what she wanted. things!" Zhou Yanwu let out a long sigh.
The person who loves her and treats her well is Zhou Yanwu.
The one she wanted but couldn't get was probably Jing Yannian, right?
Xiao Yuzhuo stared slightly.
"She could have lived a good life and be carefree, but she just got into the horns and alienated me... I suddenly felt that Mr. Yun is actually the same person, blinded by her own selfish desires, and she wants to go A road of no return. If I follow him all the way to the dark...I'm afraid my result will not be much better!
After my wife delivered my son, I couldn't bear to do so.I can't bear to go forward knowing that there are mountains of swords and fire ahead.This child has lost his mother, what should he do if he loses his father?
I probably have been shaken a long time ago. I didn't tell Young Master Yun everything my wife did in Wancheng. I only told him that you were hidden in the mansion by the King of Yue, so it was not easy to assassinate. "
Zhou Yanwu said slowly.
It was only then that Xiao Yuzhuo knew that there was a person who was so concerned about his own life.
Many things that happened in the past, now think about it, it seems that the clues can be seen.
"Now it seems that he doesn't believe me anymore, and he didn't let me know when he came to Wancheng this time." Zhou Yanwu stood up and said, "I have tried to harm my wife many times, and I have apologized to her..."
Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, "General Zhou can tell me this openly and honestly today, I am already very grateful."
"Since he has come to Wancheng, it is more likely that he will harm my wife. Please be careful, lady!" General Zhou said.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Has General Zhou ever seen his real face?"
"When I was introduced to Mr. Yun, I was just a cavalry guard. How can I see his true face?" Zhou Yanwu shook his head.
Xiao Yuzhuo thanked Zhou Yanwu and teased Zhou Changkang for a while, then took his leave and left.
Back home, just in time for a letter to be delivered from Chang'an City.
Xiao Yuzhuo opened the letter, the familiar handwriting calmed down her fluctuating mood at the moment.
Jing Yannian's handwriting, like his own, gives people a feeling of vigor like green pine.
He said in the letter that in the twelfth lunar month, he would take a leave of absence and come back to spend the New Year with Xiao Yuzhuo and Xiao Chongwu, and then leave after the year.
Wancheng is bustling now.
Not only did they gather business people from all walks of life, they also hid the eyes of the Holy Majesty, as well as Mr. Yun and his minions.
Jing Yannian is rushing back from Chang'an now... She can't hide her secrets from anyone she meets.
What's more, he is the kind who always attracts people's attention inexplicably no matter where he goes.
Xiao Yuzhuo hurriedly wrote a reply letter, in which he persuaded that the form of Wancheng was complicated, and the Holy Majesty suspected the purpose of establishing the Chamber of Commerce, so he sent Uncle Xiao to come in disguise to find out the truth.
If he came and the people of the Holy Majesty ran into him, he would put her in danger.
No matter how tactful her words were, she was telling him to stay in the capital alone for the New Year and not have to come see their mother and son.
Even if she used Psi Li Liu gorgeous words and extremely beautiful lower case writing, it still couldn't change Jing Yannian's original intention of being rejected.
It is estimated that his mood when he read this letter will not be too beautiful.
But Xiao Yuzhuo can't take care of Jing Yannian's mood at the moment, she wants to avoid Uncle Xiao's family, guard against Young Master Yun, and rapidly expand the power of the martial arts school.
The twelfth lunar month is approaching, and the gathering of merchants has not stopped.
Some merchants who have already finalized the cooperation leave happily, and some merchants are coming here admiringly.
Several vice presidents of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce have been established. There were originally three vice presidents, but five were actually appointed later.
Many affairs of the chamber of commerce are already on the right track.
The construction of the martial arts hall in the south of the city has also come to an end.
Because the students of the martial arts hall volunteered to help, the construction of the martial arts hall was much faster.
After Jing Yannian's martial arts competition in the martial arts hall shocked the Yamen, more people came here admiringly.
Knowing that this civil and martial arts hall, not only can you study without a bundle of training, but also have food, a place to live, and clothes to wear.
They can even earn money by helping others after school, and the martial arts school is already full of students.
The New Year's Eve fell, but the Wenwu Museum did not have a holiday.
Uncle Xiao and Young Master Yun stayed in Wancheng, Xiao Yuzhuo didn't dare to be careless.
Martial arts are at least a force that can be summoned at any time.
A few years ago, all the construction of the Wuguan was completed.
Only details such as beds have not yet been put in place.
This year in Wancheng is probably the most restless year.
Merchants gathered, and many restaurants and guest houses were closed.
During the New Year's Eve, Wancheng, which is still in operation, is much busier than Chang'an.
Xiao Yuzhuo paid the carpenters three times their wages in order to make the more than 800 mu of civil and martial arts hall in the south of the city officially move in, and told them to make beds, tables, chairs and benches as soon as possible.
The seventh day of the first month.
The Cultural and Martial Art Museum was officially moved from Yufu to the 800-acre campus in the south of the city.
On the day of the relocation, Wancheng was very lively.
Many people from the villages and towns around Wancheng also came to watch the fun.
"Lady, wait a little longer." Liang Sheng stood beside the carriage, reaching out his hand to help Xiao Yuzhuo get out of the carriage.
He seemed to be just out of respect, and didn't mean anything else.
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.
Liu Lanxue hurriedly stepped forward, helped Xiao Yuzhuo get down, and straightened the fence that hung down to her knees for her.
"My lady, go slowly, now Wancheng is not only gathering merchants." Liang Sheng walked by Xiao Yuzhuo's side, leading her to take the road less crowded.
"Not just merchants?" Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Naturally, there are also people from the imperial court. We have a lot of people in this martial arts gym, so it is reasonable for the imperial court to be cautious."
Liang Sheng shook his head, "It's not about the people of the imperial court, but the sects of Jianghu."
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, and stood still, "Our martial arts school is not in conflict with the rivers and lakes sects, is it? Will the martial arts hall move and they will also gather in Wancheng to watch the fun?"
"They didn't just come to see the excitement." Liang Sheng said, "A few people were recommended by brother Liao yesterday, and they had a brief discussion with the villain."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him curiously, "School of Jianghu, what do you want to discuss with you? Do they still want to do business with you?"
Liang Sheng smiled slightly, "It's a business. Some small sects in the rivers and lakes also have poor families and life is not easy, so they abandon farming and join the military. Those who are successful have the support of the rich.
What they came to look for me was to incorporate their sect into the Wenwu Hall, but they still need to keep their own sect name. If there is any assignment from the academy, whether it is darts or other tasks, they are willing to obey the assignment.
You only need to enjoy the same treatment as the students, and the academy provides them with food, lodging and clothing. "
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help laughing, "Before I was still worried that the strength of the civil and martial arts hall was not enough, and others bullied me. Now it seems that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. This is a good thing. Since they have their own martial arts, their skills are different. It must be much better than a student who knows nothing."
Liang Sheng nodded again and again, "I don't know martial arts, but I heard from brother Liao and Ziwu that the leaders of several sects are very good at kung fu."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded happily, "The most important thing is character. Don't ask people to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, sneak into the academy, and disturb the atmosphere of the academy! Take care of food and housing, these are trivial matters."
Liang Sheng agreed.
"Treasurer Liang still has to worry about the chamber of commerce. It must be a hard job if shopkeeper Liang is responsible for this matter," Liu Lanxue said with a smile. Shopkeeper Liang's dispatch!"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Liu Lanxue, then at Liang Sheng, "What does shopkeeper Liang mean?"
"Uh... this..." Liang Sheng's face froze for a moment.
Liu Lanxue grinned, her teeth were white, shining brightly against the winter sun.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook her hand, "Although Lan Xue is young, she is willing to learn and is willing to learn. I am assured of her."
Liang Sheng was still a little embarrassed.
"And these people around me, regardless of men and women, I treat and trust them equally." Xiao Yuzhuo said slowly.
Liang Sheng frowned slightly, and took a deep look at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Do you treat him the same, trust him the same?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "What do shopkeeper Liang think?"
He twitched the corners of his mouth, "If the lady can trust someone, the villain will naturally also trust it."
"So, shopkeeper Liang is willing to ask me to help?" Liu Lanxue said with a grin.
Liang Sheng nodded helplessly, "Yes."
Liu Lanxue jumped twice excitedly, "That's great, I'm also a general beside my wife! I'm really envious of seeing my sisters becoming more and more imposing and calm when things happen all day long! I just feel that they are all growing up rapidly, but I am the only one who stays where I am! In the future, I will definitely study hard with Shopkeeper Liang!"
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his hand and patted her head, "You can say that, it means you have grown up too!"
Liu Lanxue smiled happily, "Hey, isn't that sister Xiyue?"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked along her fingers.
The academy was relocated today, Chen Xiyue, Zhuxiang, Juxiang, Meixiang, Liao Changsheng, and Wei Ziwu were all watching from the academy.
There are also corresponding celebrations, and they will also show up.
Xiao Yuzhuo just came to join in the fun, to see how big the academy is now.
She did not go forward.
Looking at Chen Xiyue's direction, is she planning to leave first through the east gate of the school?
"Seeing that she is in a hurry, could something have happened?" Liang Sheng said with a frown.
"Tell her to come over and ask." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Liu Lanxue immediately ran forward, she was strong and her steps were fast, "Sister Xiyue, my lady asked you why you are in such a hurry?"
Only then did Chen Xiyue see Xiao Yuzhuo and Liang Sheng standing in the corridor.
She quickly walked over, "It just so happens that the lady is here, so the servant girl doesn't have to go back to the house!"
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.
However, Chen Xiyue stepped forward to hold her hand, "Madam, let's go to the Yanyu Building with the servant girl, it's urgent, talk while walking."
Xiao Yuzhuo had no choice but to nod to Liang Sheng, "Shopkeeper Liang, let's watch in the academy!"
Liang Sheng bowed his hands to see him off.
Liu Lanxue looked at Liang Sheng, then at Xiao Yuzhuo.
In the end, she pouted and stomped her feet, and still chased Xiao Yuzhuo into the carriage.
"Isn't everything going well in the Yanyu Building? What's urgent?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"The maidservant has promoted several sisters before, and when the maidservant was away, they handled the affairs in the building very well." Chen Xiyue said, "But today's matter is a special situation, and they don't know what to do. Alright, then I ordered people to come and find the servant girl to go back."
After finishing speaking, she still looked at Xiao Yuzhuo with some trepidation.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, "The situation is special? Is it related to me?"
She just said it casually, but Chen Xiyue nodded hastily.
"Didn't the lady tell you, tell the girls in the building to be careful and see if they can get any news from the old man of the Xiao family? That girl is very clever, and she really won the trust of the old man of the Xiao family. Yesterday, the old man of the Xiao family The master promised to redeem her body yesterday, but I didn't expect to fight for that girl today!" Chen Xiyue said.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
Her Xiao family's uncle is over 50 years old this year, right?
A man in his 50s... isn't he a kid anymore?To even be rough with others for the sake of a confidante?
She looked embarrassed, "This..."
"The thugs in the building will definitely stop him, but the identity of the Xiao family's elder is there, they don't know how to deal with it, so they asked the maid to ask the lady for advice." Chen Xiyue said.
No wonder Chen Xiyue didn't say anything in the corridor just now.
This is really easy to say, no matter how you say it is Xiao Yuzhuo's uncle.
It's a joke to say it.
"Let's go to the building first to see how things are going before making a decision." Xiao Yuzhuo helped his forehead helplessly.
The uncle is looking for a confidante outside, and fights with others.
To the point where I have to ask my niece to deal with the aftermath... There is no one in this matter!
If he was really reluctant to part with the girl in that building and brought him back to Chang'an, would his aunt hate her to death?
Xiao Yuzhuo shook her head, she was thinking too much, and the aunt didn't know that Yanyu Building was her property.
She was thinking wildly, the carriage had arrived in the alley at the back door of Yanyu Building.
"I just saw that there seemed to be a lot of officers and soldiers around the front gate." Liu Lanxue said.
Chen Xiyue's face was congealed, "Fights are inevitable in a place like Yanyu Building where you are looking for fun, and the general government doesn't care about it. What's more, they all know that this is the property of the Evergreen Gang, and now they are affiliated with the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce. The government Why did you come here suddenly?"
"Could it be that the elder of the Xiao family was afraid of losing himself, so he revealed his identity and called someone from the government?" Liu Lanxue asked in surprise.
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes, "Go ahead and have a look. If he wants to reveal his identity, then there is no need for Yanyulou to come forward in this matter. Let's just ignore him and deal with him as he likes."
Chen Xiyue nodded, and helped her down with Liu Lanxue, and sat down in the room in the backyard.
After asking someone to serve tea, Chen Xiyue had already rushed forward to check on the situation.
Xiao Yuzhuo waited in the backyard room, his eyelids twitching slightly.
"Why is the left eye jumping?" she asked Liu Lanxue.
Liu Lanxue was standing at the door, poking her head, and was taken aback when she heard the words, "What left eye jump? Oh, there is an old saying in Wancheng, the left eye jumps to get rich, the right eye jumps to disaster, the lady is going to get rich!"
Xiao Yuzhuo laughed lightly, "I heard from Shopkeeper Liang that Wufangzhai, Juxianlou, and Zhuangyuanhong have already signed up dozens of cooperative semicolons. Isn't it rich?"
"My lady... my lady!" Chen Xiyue ran back with a panicked face, "It's not good!"
Xiao Yuzhuo's face condensed slightly, "Talk about something."
Didn't say anything, it's not good to say it first, wouldn't it make people anxious!
"That person is dead... pushed to death by the elder of the Xiao family..." Chen Xiyue said anxiously.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared in confusion, "Did you push it to death? How did you push it to death?"
"At first it was just a quarrel, but later the people from the Yanyu building pulled the two of them away. It was just a few hours ago, and there was no one in the building. That person was drunk last night and stayed in the building. He woke up this morning. , just ran into the old man of the Xiao family, made a few quarrels, pushed and shoved, it was nothing serious." Chen Xiyue took a breath, "I never thought that the old man of the Xiao family would be so angry, that person would walk to the stairs, It was about to go down, but the elder of the Xiao family rushed up from behind unexpectedly, pushed him down from the stairs, knocked his head on the ground, and fell to his death..."
Xiao Yuzhuo exhaled.
This is great, a life has been lost.
Where is she trying to get rich?It's clearly going to break the bank!
"What does the government say?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"Although it has nothing to do with the Yanyu Building, it is the matter of the Xiao family, but it happened in the Yanyu Building," Chen Xiyue said in a deep voice, "The government means that they want to sell the face of the Evergreen Gang and the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce. If the matter can be private, then it is private, and it is good for each other if it is not public."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded. At present, this is a criminal case, and there is no possibility of private affairs.
But now it's Daxia, if you are willing to spend money and have connections, you can get it done.
"Who died?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"My maidservant is going to inquire now!" Chen Xiyue got up immediately.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and said, "Go and ask what are the thoughts of both sides, what are the conditions for a solution, if you can do it privately, you can do it privately. But don't force it, this matter is really big, and Yanyulou is not afraid."
"Yes!" With Xiao Yuzhuo's words, Chen Xiyue gained confidence, and her face became more calm.
Xiao Yuzhuo waited in the room, the smell of tea wafted all over the room, but this meeting made people feel uneasy.
She thought of all the worst possibilities and made herself fully mentally prepared.
Not long after, Chen Xiyue came back from the front.
"I heard that the one who died was a member of the Wang family who opened the coal mine in Jinzhou. There is no shortage of money in the family, and the only son in the long house."
Xiao Yuzhuo exhaled, this was worse than the worst outcome she thought.
"What conditions does that family have?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"The only one who came with him was his uncle, who came to join the chamber of commerce. His parents are both in Jinzhou." Chen Xiyue said, "His uncle has no conditions. If the city doesn't give him a result, he will go to Chang'an to sue the imperial court."
"Listen to the voice, there are people in this Wang family in Chang'an?" Liu Lanxue frowned.
Chen Xiyue nodded at her, "It's impossible for someone who can mine coal mines privately to be okay and unconnected in the imperial court."
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes, "What did Uncle Xiao say?"
"What can he say? Right now, he is hiding in the girl's room, refusing to come out to see anyone." Chen Xiyue sighed.
"So, he hasn't revealed his identity yet?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Chen Xiyue shook her head, "No, looking at the current situation, if he takes out his status as a cabinet bachelor, the Wang family will probably carry the corpse to Chang'an immediately!"
Xiao Yuzhuo stared and pondered for a while.
The room was so quiet that only the ticking of the clepsydra could be heard.
Suddenly, a young servant rushed over from outside, "Miss Yue, that gentleman invites you to come over."
Chen Xiyue went out to ask, then came back, "My lady, the elder of the Xiao family invited me over."
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and nodded, "It's not convenient for me to see him, you go and tell him that this matter can't be done with money, and you can't help him settle the Wang family, if he doesn't want to cause trouble to Chang'an, he can only see Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce There is hope for the president."
Chen Xiyue was slightly taken aback, and quickly nodded in response.
Xiao Yuzhuo took out the charcoal pencil made by Jing Yannian, quickly wrote a short letter, and asked Liu Lanxue to send it to Liang Sheng.
Chen Xiyue came to the girl's room.
Sure enough, the elder of the Xiao family was sitting on the table, with a gloomy expression on his face.
He probably didn't think about it at all, it was just such an impulsive push, it was just to vent his breath.
Who told that kid to laugh at him as an "old man" and ask him, "Can the horse still gallop on the battlefield?" A man, no matter his age or status, no one can stand being laughed at for his incompetence.
But who knew that kid would be so reckless, at such a young age, he would fall to his death with just one push? !
Chen Xiyue saluted with blessings, "My lord, the Wang family is waiting downstairs now, what do you say, can't you go down and meet?"
The elder of the Xiao family took a deep breath, "Meet? Heh, their family members are like lunatics now, and they can't tell right from wrong. Why should I meet them?"
What this means is that when the Wang family saw him, they would beat him up without saying a word.
"Then it's not a problem that you are always hiding in this room?" Chen Xiyue said.
The elder of the Xiao family frowned, "Since you are the lady in charge of the Yanyu Building, you can help me solve this matter, and the benefits will be indispensable to you. No matter how much their family wants, we can discuss it."
Chen Xiyue sighed with a heavy face, "Master, it's not that my family doesn't help you, it's really... well, let me tell you the truth, when something happened, my family asked someone to inquire about it. The Wang family is a coal mine in Jinzhou. There is no shortage of money in the family, and the one who fell to his death is the only son of Wang's family."
The face of the elder of the Xiao family froze.
"You see, this matter cannot be solved by money?" Chen Xiyue said.
The face of the elder of the Xiao family was stiff, and he breathed heavily, "He is just a coal mine digger, how could I be afraid of him?!"
"My lord, you are naturally not afraid of him, but wouldn't it look bad to you if this matter got out?" Chen Xiyue whispered.
"Then tell me," the elder of the Xiao family looked at Chen Xiyue, "Is there any way to settle the Wang family and save my face?"
"This matter is not allowed by the slave family, but there is someone in Wancheng who might be able to do it." After Chen Xiyue finished speaking, she looked at the face of the elder of the Xiao family.
The elder of the Xiao family waved his hand at her and told her to come forward and speak.
Chen Xiyue approached and said, "Do you know the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce? The chairman's words are very important in the territory of Guangyuan, including merchants outside Wancheng!"
The elder of the Xiao family showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
If he asked the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce to solve this matter for him, he would owe the favor.
Not only did he owe a favor, but he also fell into trouble!
The Holy Majesty asked him to come to Wancheng to find out the details of the chamber of commerce.
It's good now, he hasn't figured out the details of the chamber of commerce, and he has given his shortcomings to others.
How does this tell him to return to Beijing?
Can you not ask for help?If the Wang family really brought the matter to Chang'an City, I'm afraid, but he is not afraid of the Wang family.
After all, the Xiao family has been a powerful family for hundreds of years, even the Holy One can't really kill him, and let him pay for his life to that boy of the Wang family!
But people have a face, he is dozens of years old, and he has a reputation in Chang'an City... He can't afford to lose this man!
What would the censor, colleagues, relatives and friends say when they saw him in the future?
It is said that the elder of the Xiao family went out to work in Wancheng, but he got jealous with a young man in the brothel and got killed?
I'm afraid he'll be so ashamed that he won't dare to go out in the future!
If the Minister of Censors insists on it and tries his best to participate in the performance, he, a cabinet bachelor, will not do it.
The elder of the Xiao family pondered for a long time, then sighed, "That's all, I'm not very familiar with the president of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, please introduce me, my lady."
(End of this chapter)
When Li Huizhi died, Zhou Yanwu didn't show much grief and indignation, but if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean he didn't mind.
Perhaps it was a scar hidden in his heart that no one else could touch.
The child's words were undoubtedly a sharp knife, poking at his old wounds.
Look at the lively, cheerful, talkative and laughing Xiao Chongwu, and look at Changkang, and you will know how pitiful a child without a mother is.
Maybe he already had the heart to owe this child, otherwise he wouldn't have coerced Xiao Yuzhuo to recognize Zhou Changkang as his adopted son, forcing her to give him a few percent interest.
"Whose child is it?" Zhou Changkang asked with a serious face.
Liu Lanxue just slipped that child back.
The kid looked about six or seven years old, and there were still crumbs of snacks on his mouth and face.
Seeing Zhou Yanwu's dark face, he was afraid, "I... I didn't push him on purpose!"
"Who taught you those words?" Zhou Yanwu asked.
The child was too frightened to speak.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Don't be afraid, it must not be your idea to say that Mr. Zhou is not good, right? Who said it in front of you? If you say it, General Zhou won't be angry with you gone."
The child glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo, and lowered his head timidly, "The aunt in the house told me about it. My aunt said that the child born by my aunt in the future will be the legitimate son of the Zhou family. This child , the ones that can’t grow up…”
bang.
Zhou Yanwu raised his hand and patted the table beside him.
The chicken wing wood desk was shattered by his palm.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed.
"Come here, expel all the distant relatives who live in the mansion out of the mansion!" Zhou Yanwu ordered, "Look at which concubine's room their female relatives have gotten close to in the past few days, and sell the concubine's room!"
The child didn't know if he understood, but now he was trembling with fear.
Zhou Yanwu ordered again: "When driving them out of the mansion, make it clear that their children dare to compete for the food of the little man, and even scared the little man to tears! Anyone who doesn't take the eldest son of my Zhou family seriously, Zhou Mansion can't tolerate them!"
Zhou Yanwu defended Zhou Changkang in such a way that the people in the latter's family would take this motherless child seriously.
Holding Zhou Changkang's nanny, she couldn't help but straighten her back.
After Zhou Yanwu gave his orders, he suddenly saw Xiao Chongwu coming out of his mother's arms, walking to Xiao Changkang's side, spreading his white and tender palms.
In the palm of his hand lay a small square snack, but the corners were a little bit broken by him.
"Eat, don't cry." He still couldn't pronounce the words clearly.
But he could tell that he meant to comfort his younger brother.
Zhou Yanwu squatted down, hugged Xiao Chongwu into his arms, looked at the wound on his forehead, and blew lightly, "Little Chongwu, does it hurt?"
Chong Wu stared at a pair of big watery eyes, and shook his head seriously.
Zhou Yanwu grinned.
"Give it to brother!" Xiao Chongwu spread his palms.
"There's only one piece left, eat it by yourself at Chongwu," Zhou Yanwu said.
Xiao Chongwu stubbornly shook his head, "Give it to my brother!"
Zhou Yanwu let go of him with a smile, "Let them play, my lady, please come to the main hall."
Xiao Yuzhuo told the nanny and Liu Lanxue to take good care of the two children, then got up and followed Zhou Yanwu into the main hall.
"I have always disliked General Jing, but General Jing's son, perhaps because he grew up next to his wife, makes people feel kind and pleasing when they look at him." Zhou Yanwu said with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, showing no modesty.
"My lady asked about Mr. Yun, why?" Zhou Yanwu asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him, "Because Mr. Yun is here in Wancheng."
"What?!" Zhou Yanwu was startled.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him suspiciously, isn't this reaction too big?
I saw Zhou Yanwu frowned, and there was worry in his eyes, "He came to Wancheng without telling me, he came secretly without telling me... So, does he no longer trust me?"
"General Zhou?" Xiao Yuzhuo didn't hear what he muttered to himself, so he couldn't help calling him.
Zhou Yanwu nodded, "I know him...Moreover, I have dealt with him before."
Xiao Yuzhuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, "I asked the general for advice, I really found the right person."
Zhou Yanwu smiled wryly, didn't he find the right person?He used to be Master Yun's minion!
"Isn't it strange, my lady, I was born as a military officer, why did I gain the trust of the Holy Majesty and was sent to Wancheng as a garrison general?" Zhou Yanwu said in a low voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Why?"
"It was Mr. Yun who helped me move around. Mr. Yun has quite a lot of contacts in the court and among the dignitaries in Beijing." Zhou Yanwu said.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback, "I heard that he has always shown his face and refused to show his true face, saying that no one has ever seen his true face?"
"This is obviously an exaggeration. It can only be said that most people have never seen his true face. Some people he relies on the most do know his identity." Zhou Yanwu said.
"He is just the owner of a gambling house. He is so mysterious and has a wide network of contacts. What is he trying to do?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Zhou Yanwu took a look at Xiao Yuzhuo and sighed, "It was Mr. Yun who made me come to Wancheng. He asked me to come to Wancheng because he wanted me to take my wife away! Later, seeing that there was no hope of taking my lady away, he called me Killed the lady."
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback, "When did I offend him?"
Could it be because of the Dexin Cabinet?
It wouldn't be because it crushed his business that he would kill people to silence him, right?
"Because the lady is the person General Jing cares about the most, and His Royal Highness King Yue will never forget the lady. If you kill the lady, you can provoke discord among several parties." Zhou Yanwu looked at Xiao Yuzhuo and said, "If you kill the lady, put the cause of her death On the Holy Majesty, would General Jing still swear allegiance to the Holy Majesty? Would the King of Yue still be willing to be a fief prince?"
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned tightly.
Sure enough, it's not because of business matters?
What Young Master Yun is plotting seems to be—the world is in chaos?
"he……"
"He wants the world to be in chaos, and he wants the current emperor to suffer from it! He wants to profit from the chaos." Zhou Yanwu said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't recover for a moment.
Zhou Yanwu continued, "I was loyal to him wholeheartedly, because without him, I would not be where I am today. I may still be submerged in the army, and I will not have a bright future. It was he who helped me meet me. Seeing the beloved Sixth Princess, he was the one who helped me rise up the ranks of the soldiers, who made me the general of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and the general of the Wancheng Garrison..."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Zhou Yanwu with some fear.
"But I saw the change of the sixth princess with my own eyes. Huizhi was originally a kind and lovely little lady, but she was blinded by hatred. She couldn't see the people around her who loved her and treated her well. She only wanted to see what she wanted. things!" Zhou Yanwu let out a long sigh.
The person who loves her and treats her well is Zhou Yanwu.
The one she wanted but couldn't get was probably Jing Yannian, right?
Xiao Yuzhuo stared slightly.
"She could have lived a good life and be carefree, but she just got into the horns and alienated me... I suddenly felt that Mr. Yun is actually the same person, blinded by her own selfish desires, and she wants to go A road of no return. If I follow him all the way to the dark...I'm afraid my result will not be much better!
After my wife delivered my son, I couldn't bear to do so.I can't bear to go forward knowing that there are mountains of swords and fire ahead.This child has lost his mother, what should he do if he loses his father?
I probably have been shaken a long time ago. I didn't tell Young Master Yun everything my wife did in Wancheng. I only told him that you were hidden in the mansion by the King of Yue, so it was not easy to assassinate. "
Zhou Yanwu said slowly.
It was only then that Xiao Yuzhuo knew that there was a person who was so concerned about his own life.
Many things that happened in the past, now think about it, it seems that the clues can be seen.
"Now it seems that he doesn't believe me anymore, and he didn't let me know when he came to Wancheng this time." Zhou Yanwu stood up and said, "I have tried to harm my wife many times, and I have apologized to her..."
Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, "General Zhou can tell me this openly and honestly today, I am already very grateful."
"Since he has come to Wancheng, it is more likely that he will harm my wife. Please be careful, lady!" General Zhou said.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Has General Zhou ever seen his real face?"
"When I was introduced to Mr. Yun, I was just a cavalry guard. How can I see his true face?" Zhou Yanwu shook his head.
Xiao Yuzhuo thanked Zhou Yanwu and teased Zhou Changkang for a while, then took his leave and left.
Back home, just in time for a letter to be delivered from Chang'an City.
Xiao Yuzhuo opened the letter, the familiar handwriting calmed down her fluctuating mood at the moment.
Jing Yannian's handwriting, like his own, gives people a feeling of vigor like green pine.
He said in the letter that in the twelfth lunar month, he would take a leave of absence and come back to spend the New Year with Xiao Yuzhuo and Xiao Chongwu, and then leave after the year.
Wancheng is bustling now.
Not only did they gather business people from all walks of life, they also hid the eyes of the Holy Majesty, as well as Mr. Yun and his minions.
Jing Yannian is rushing back from Chang'an now... She can't hide her secrets from anyone she meets.
What's more, he is the kind who always attracts people's attention inexplicably no matter where he goes.
Xiao Yuzhuo hurriedly wrote a reply letter, in which he persuaded that the form of Wancheng was complicated, and the Holy Majesty suspected the purpose of establishing the Chamber of Commerce, so he sent Uncle Xiao to come in disguise to find out the truth.
If he came and the people of the Holy Majesty ran into him, he would put her in danger.
No matter how tactful her words were, she was telling him to stay in the capital alone for the New Year and not have to come see their mother and son.
Even if she used Psi Li Liu gorgeous words and extremely beautiful lower case writing, it still couldn't change Jing Yannian's original intention of being rejected.
It is estimated that his mood when he read this letter will not be too beautiful.
But Xiao Yuzhuo can't take care of Jing Yannian's mood at the moment, she wants to avoid Uncle Xiao's family, guard against Young Master Yun, and rapidly expand the power of the martial arts school.
The twelfth lunar month is approaching, and the gathering of merchants has not stopped.
Some merchants who have already finalized the cooperation leave happily, and some merchants are coming here admiringly.
Several vice presidents of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce have been established. There were originally three vice presidents, but five were actually appointed later.
Many affairs of the chamber of commerce are already on the right track.
The construction of the martial arts hall in the south of the city has also come to an end.
Because the students of the martial arts hall volunteered to help, the construction of the martial arts hall was much faster.
After Jing Yannian's martial arts competition in the martial arts hall shocked the Yamen, more people came here admiringly.
Knowing that this civil and martial arts hall, not only can you study without a bundle of training, but also have food, a place to live, and clothes to wear.
They can even earn money by helping others after school, and the martial arts school is already full of students.
The New Year's Eve fell, but the Wenwu Museum did not have a holiday.
Uncle Xiao and Young Master Yun stayed in Wancheng, Xiao Yuzhuo didn't dare to be careless.
Martial arts are at least a force that can be summoned at any time.
A few years ago, all the construction of the Wuguan was completed.
Only details such as beds have not yet been put in place.
This year in Wancheng is probably the most restless year.
Merchants gathered, and many restaurants and guest houses were closed.
During the New Year's Eve, Wancheng, which is still in operation, is much busier than Chang'an.
Xiao Yuzhuo paid the carpenters three times their wages in order to make the more than 800 mu of civil and martial arts hall in the south of the city officially move in, and told them to make beds, tables, chairs and benches as soon as possible.
The seventh day of the first month.
The Cultural and Martial Art Museum was officially moved from Yufu to the 800-acre campus in the south of the city.
On the day of the relocation, Wancheng was very lively.
Many people from the villages and towns around Wancheng also came to watch the fun.
"Lady, wait a little longer." Liang Sheng stood beside the carriage, reaching out his hand to help Xiao Yuzhuo get out of the carriage.
He seemed to be just out of respect, and didn't mean anything else.
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.
Liu Lanxue hurriedly stepped forward, helped Xiao Yuzhuo get down, and straightened the fence that hung down to her knees for her.
"My lady, go slowly, now Wancheng is not only gathering merchants." Liang Sheng walked by Xiao Yuzhuo's side, leading her to take the road less crowded.
"Not just merchants?" Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Naturally, there are also people from the imperial court. We have a lot of people in this martial arts gym, so it is reasonable for the imperial court to be cautious."
Liang Sheng shook his head, "It's not about the people of the imperial court, but the sects of Jianghu."
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, and stood still, "Our martial arts school is not in conflict with the rivers and lakes sects, is it? Will the martial arts hall move and they will also gather in Wancheng to watch the fun?"
"They didn't just come to see the excitement." Liang Sheng said, "A few people were recommended by brother Liao yesterday, and they had a brief discussion with the villain."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him curiously, "School of Jianghu, what do you want to discuss with you? Do they still want to do business with you?"
Liang Sheng smiled slightly, "It's a business. Some small sects in the rivers and lakes also have poor families and life is not easy, so they abandon farming and join the military. Those who are successful have the support of the rich.
What they came to look for me was to incorporate their sect into the Wenwu Hall, but they still need to keep their own sect name. If there is any assignment from the academy, whether it is darts or other tasks, they are willing to obey the assignment.
You only need to enjoy the same treatment as the students, and the academy provides them with food, lodging and clothing. "
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help laughing, "Before I was still worried that the strength of the civil and martial arts hall was not enough, and others bullied me. Now it seems that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. This is a good thing. Since they have their own martial arts, their skills are different. It must be much better than a student who knows nothing."
Liang Sheng nodded again and again, "I don't know martial arts, but I heard from brother Liao and Ziwu that the leaders of several sects are very good at kung fu."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded happily, "The most important thing is character. Don't ask people to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, sneak into the academy, and disturb the atmosphere of the academy! Take care of food and housing, these are trivial matters."
Liang Sheng agreed.
"Treasurer Liang still has to worry about the chamber of commerce. It must be a hard job if shopkeeper Liang is responsible for this matter," Liu Lanxue said with a smile. Shopkeeper Liang's dispatch!"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Liu Lanxue, then at Liang Sheng, "What does shopkeeper Liang mean?"
"Uh... this..." Liang Sheng's face froze for a moment.
Liu Lanxue grinned, her teeth were white, shining brightly against the winter sun.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook her hand, "Although Lan Xue is young, she is willing to learn and is willing to learn. I am assured of her."
Liang Sheng was still a little embarrassed.
"And these people around me, regardless of men and women, I treat and trust them equally." Xiao Yuzhuo said slowly.
Liang Sheng frowned slightly, and took a deep look at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Do you treat him the same, trust him the same?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "What do shopkeeper Liang think?"
He twitched the corners of his mouth, "If the lady can trust someone, the villain will naturally also trust it."
"So, shopkeeper Liang is willing to ask me to help?" Liu Lanxue said with a grin.
Liang Sheng nodded helplessly, "Yes."
Liu Lanxue jumped twice excitedly, "That's great, I'm also a general beside my wife! I'm really envious of seeing my sisters becoming more and more imposing and calm when things happen all day long! I just feel that they are all growing up rapidly, but I am the only one who stays where I am! In the future, I will definitely study hard with Shopkeeper Liang!"
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his hand and patted her head, "You can say that, it means you have grown up too!"
Liu Lanxue smiled happily, "Hey, isn't that sister Xiyue?"
Xiao Yuzhuo looked along her fingers.
The academy was relocated today, Chen Xiyue, Zhuxiang, Juxiang, Meixiang, Liao Changsheng, and Wei Ziwu were all watching from the academy.
There are also corresponding celebrations, and they will also show up.
Xiao Yuzhuo just came to join in the fun, to see how big the academy is now.
She did not go forward.
Looking at Chen Xiyue's direction, is she planning to leave first through the east gate of the school?
"Seeing that she is in a hurry, could something have happened?" Liang Sheng said with a frown.
"Tell her to come over and ask." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Liu Lanxue immediately ran forward, she was strong and her steps were fast, "Sister Xiyue, my lady asked you why you are in such a hurry?"
Only then did Chen Xiyue see Xiao Yuzhuo and Liang Sheng standing in the corridor.
She quickly walked over, "It just so happens that the lady is here, so the servant girl doesn't have to go back to the house!"
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.
However, Chen Xiyue stepped forward to hold her hand, "Madam, let's go to the Yanyu Building with the servant girl, it's urgent, talk while walking."
Xiao Yuzhuo had no choice but to nod to Liang Sheng, "Shopkeeper Liang, let's watch in the academy!"
Liang Sheng bowed his hands to see him off.
Liu Lanxue looked at Liang Sheng, then at Xiao Yuzhuo.
In the end, she pouted and stomped her feet, and still chased Xiao Yuzhuo into the carriage.
"Isn't everything going well in the Yanyu Building? What's urgent?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"The maidservant has promoted several sisters before, and when the maidservant was away, they handled the affairs in the building very well." Chen Xiyue said, "But today's matter is a special situation, and they don't know what to do. Alright, then I ordered people to come and find the servant girl to go back."
After finishing speaking, she still looked at Xiao Yuzhuo with some trepidation.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, "The situation is special? Is it related to me?"
She just said it casually, but Chen Xiyue nodded hastily.
"Didn't the lady tell you, tell the girls in the building to be careful and see if they can get any news from the old man of the Xiao family? That girl is very clever, and she really won the trust of the old man of the Xiao family. Yesterday, the old man of the Xiao family The master promised to redeem her body yesterday, but I didn't expect to fight for that girl today!" Chen Xiyue said.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
Her Xiao family's uncle is over 50 years old this year, right?
A man in his 50s... isn't he a kid anymore?To even be rough with others for the sake of a confidante?
She looked embarrassed, "This..."
"The thugs in the building will definitely stop him, but the identity of the Xiao family's elder is there, they don't know how to deal with it, so they asked the maid to ask the lady for advice." Chen Xiyue said.
No wonder Chen Xiyue didn't say anything in the corridor just now.
This is really easy to say, no matter how you say it is Xiao Yuzhuo's uncle.
It's a joke to say it.
"Let's go to the building first to see how things are going before making a decision." Xiao Yuzhuo helped his forehead helplessly.
The uncle is looking for a confidante outside, and fights with others.
To the point where I have to ask my niece to deal with the aftermath... There is no one in this matter!
If he was really reluctant to part with the girl in that building and brought him back to Chang'an, would his aunt hate her to death?
Xiao Yuzhuo shook her head, she was thinking too much, and the aunt didn't know that Yanyu Building was her property.
She was thinking wildly, the carriage had arrived in the alley at the back door of Yanyu Building.
"I just saw that there seemed to be a lot of officers and soldiers around the front gate." Liu Lanxue said.
Chen Xiyue's face was congealed, "Fights are inevitable in a place like Yanyu Building where you are looking for fun, and the general government doesn't care about it. What's more, they all know that this is the property of the Evergreen Gang, and now they are affiliated with the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce. The government Why did you come here suddenly?"
"Could it be that the elder of the Xiao family was afraid of losing himself, so he revealed his identity and called someone from the government?" Liu Lanxue asked in surprise.
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes, "Go ahead and have a look. If he wants to reveal his identity, then there is no need for Yanyulou to come forward in this matter. Let's just ignore him and deal with him as he likes."
Chen Xiyue nodded, and helped her down with Liu Lanxue, and sat down in the room in the backyard.
After asking someone to serve tea, Chen Xiyue had already rushed forward to check on the situation.
Xiao Yuzhuo waited in the backyard room, his eyelids twitching slightly.
"Why is the left eye jumping?" she asked Liu Lanxue.
Liu Lanxue was standing at the door, poking her head, and was taken aback when she heard the words, "What left eye jump? Oh, there is an old saying in Wancheng, the left eye jumps to get rich, the right eye jumps to disaster, the lady is going to get rich!"
Xiao Yuzhuo laughed lightly, "I heard from Shopkeeper Liang that Wufangzhai, Juxianlou, and Zhuangyuanhong have already signed up dozens of cooperative semicolons. Isn't it rich?"
"My lady... my lady!" Chen Xiyue ran back with a panicked face, "It's not good!"
Xiao Yuzhuo's face condensed slightly, "Talk about something."
Didn't say anything, it's not good to say it first, wouldn't it make people anxious!
"That person is dead... pushed to death by the elder of the Xiao family..." Chen Xiyue said anxiously.
Xiao Yuzhuo stared in confusion, "Did you push it to death? How did you push it to death?"
"At first it was just a quarrel, but later the people from the Yanyu building pulled the two of them away. It was just a few hours ago, and there was no one in the building. That person was drunk last night and stayed in the building. He woke up this morning. , just ran into the old man of the Xiao family, made a few quarrels, pushed and shoved, it was nothing serious." Chen Xiyue took a breath, "I never thought that the old man of the Xiao family would be so angry, that person would walk to the stairs, It was about to go down, but the elder of the Xiao family rushed up from behind unexpectedly, pushed him down from the stairs, knocked his head on the ground, and fell to his death..."
Xiao Yuzhuo exhaled.
This is great, a life has been lost.
Where is she trying to get rich?It's clearly going to break the bank!
"What does the government say?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"Although it has nothing to do with the Yanyu Building, it is the matter of the Xiao family, but it happened in the Yanyu Building," Chen Xiyue said in a deep voice, "The government means that they want to sell the face of the Evergreen Gang and the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce. If the matter can be private, then it is private, and it is good for each other if it is not public."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded. At present, this is a criminal case, and there is no possibility of private affairs.
But now it's Daxia, if you are willing to spend money and have connections, you can get it done.
"Who died?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"My maidservant is going to inquire now!" Chen Xiyue got up immediately.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and said, "Go and ask what are the thoughts of both sides, what are the conditions for a solution, if you can do it privately, you can do it privately. But don't force it, this matter is really big, and Yanyulou is not afraid."
"Yes!" With Xiao Yuzhuo's words, Chen Xiyue gained confidence, and her face became more calm.
Xiao Yuzhuo waited in the room, the smell of tea wafted all over the room, but this meeting made people feel uneasy.
She thought of all the worst possibilities and made herself fully mentally prepared.
Not long after, Chen Xiyue came back from the front.
"I heard that the one who died was a member of the Wang family who opened the coal mine in Jinzhou. There is no shortage of money in the family, and the only son in the long house."
Xiao Yuzhuo exhaled, this was worse than the worst outcome she thought.
"What conditions does that family have?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
"The only one who came with him was his uncle, who came to join the chamber of commerce. His parents are both in Jinzhou." Chen Xiyue said, "His uncle has no conditions. If the city doesn't give him a result, he will go to Chang'an to sue the imperial court."
"Listen to the voice, there are people in this Wang family in Chang'an?" Liu Lanxue frowned.
Chen Xiyue nodded at her, "It's impossible for someone who can mine coal mines privately to be okay and unconnected in the imperial court."
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes, "What did Uncle Xiao say?"
"What can he say? Right now, he is hiding in the girl's room, refusing to come out to see anyone." Chen Xiyue sighed.
"So, he hasn't revealed his identity yet?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Chen Xiyue shook her head, "No, looking at the current situation, if he takes out his status as a cabinet bachelor, the Wang family will probably carry the corpse to Chang'an immediately!"
Xiao Yuzhuo stared and pondered for a while.
The room was so quiet that only the ticking of the clepsydra could be heard.
Suddenly, a young servant rushed over from outside, "Miss Yue, that gentleman invites you to come over."
Chen Xiyue went out to ask, then came back, "My lady, the elder of the Xiao family invited me over."
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned and nodded, "It's not convenient for me to see him, you go and tell him that this matter can't be done with money, and you can't help him settle the Wang family, if he doesn't want to cause trouble to Chang'an, he can only see Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce There is hope for the president."
Chen Xiyue was slightly taken aback, and quickly nodded in response.
Xiao Yuzhuo took out the charcoal pencil made by Jing Yannian, quickly wrote a short letter, and asked Liu Lanxue to send it to Liang Sheng.
Chen Xiyue came to the girl's room.
Sure enough, the elder of the Xiao family was sitting on the table, with a gloomy expression on his face.
He probably didn't think about it at all, it was just such an impulsive push, it was just to vent his breath.
Who told that kid to laugh at him as an "old man" and ask him, "Can the horse still gallop on the battlefield?" A man, no matter his age or status, no one can stand being laughed at for his incompetence.
But who knew that kid would be so reckless, at such a young age, he would fall to his death with just one push? !
Chen Xiyue saluted with blessings, "My lord, the Wang family is waiting downstairs now, what do you say, can't you go down and meet?"
The elder of the Xiao family took a deep breath, "Meet? Heh, their family members are like lunatics now, and they can't tell right from wrong. Why should I meet them?"
What this means is that when the Wang family saw him, they would beat him up without saying a word.
"Then it's not a problem that you are always hiding in this room?" Chen Xiyue said.
The elder of the Xiao family frowned, "Since you are the lady in charge of the Yanyu Building, you can help me solve this matter, and the benefits will be indispensable to you. No matter how much their family wants, we can discuss it."
Chen Xiyue sighed with a heavy face, "Master, it's not that my family doesn't help you, it's really... well, let me tell you the truth, when something happened, my family asked someone to inquire about it. The Wang family is a coal mine in Jinzhou. There is no shortage of money in the family, and the one who fell to his death is the only son of Wang's family."
The face of the elder of the Xiao family froze.
"You see, this matter cannot be solved by money?" Chen Xiyue said.
The face of the elder of the Xiao family was stiff, and he breathed heavily, "He is just a coal mine digger, how could I be afraid of him?!"
"My lord, you are naturally not afraid of him, but wouldn't it look bad to you if this matter got out?" Chen Xiyue whispered.
"Then tell me," the elder of the Xiao family looked at Chen Xiyue, "Is there any way to settle the Wang family and save my face?"
"This matter is not allowed by the slave family, but there is someone in Wancheng who might be able to do it." After Chen Xiyue finished speaking, she looked at the face of the elder of the Xiao family.
The elder of the Xiao family waved his hand at her and told her to come forward and speak.
Chen Xiyue approached and said, "Do you know the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce? The chairman's words are very important in the territory of Guangyuan, including merchants outside Wancheng!"
The elder of the Xiao family showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
If he asked the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce to solve this matter for him, he would owe the favor.
Not only did he owe a favor, but he also fell into trouble!
The Holy Majesty asked him to come to Wancheng to find out the details of the chamber of commerce.
It's good now, he hasn't figured out the details of the chamber of commerce, and he has given his shortcomings to others.
How does this tell him to return to Beijing?
Can you not ask for help?If the Wang family really brought the matter to Chang'an City, I'm afraid, but he is not afraid of the Wang family.
After all, the Xiao family has been a powerful family for hundreds of years, even the Holy One can't really kill him, and let him pay for his life to that boy of the Wang family!
But people have a face, he is dozens of years old, and he has a reputation in Chang'an City... He can't afford to lose this man!
What would the censor, colleagues, relatives and friends say when they saw him in the future?
It is said that the elder of the Xiao family went out to work in Wancheng, but he got jealous with a young man in the brothel and got killed?
I'm afraid he'll be so ashamed that he won't dare to go out in the future!
If the Minister of Censors insists on it and tries his best to participate in the performance, he, a cabinet bachelor, will not do it.
The elder of the Xiao family pondered for a long time, then sighed, "That's all, I'm not very familiar with the president of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, please introduce me, my lady."
