Splendid Sweet Garden

Chapter 272 Sit on the Diaoyutai

Although Xu Qiao is just a local magistrate, but anyone who wants to seize the opportunity to climb up, how can he not pay attention to the news of the capital, the former court and the harem, the prince and concubine, all the complicated entanglements are to be seen. clear.

Only in this way can we seize the opportunity at the right time and soar into the sky.

Xu Qiao's wife heard Xu Qiao say, "Your Excellency, do you mean to leave it to the Chamber of Commerce to handle it?"

"Yes, we went out to greet the second prince in person, and gave the second prince enough face. We don't need to do too much for the rest, and it's too late. Besides, since the second prince sent someone here, it doesn't make sense. The third prince doesn't know about it yet. Wait, good birds choose trees to live in, let's take a look, who is the one who sees our value!"

Xu Qiao's calculations were resounding. The Wang family pushed him to this position back then, but they didn't give him another chance after so many years, and the form of seizing the heir apparent in the capital was already very obvious.

This is the most chaotic time, but it is also the time with the most opportunities. The only large-scale chambers of commerce in Dakang are the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce, and their Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce.

With such a good position in Zhongzhou, he only needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and see if the prince is willing to extend an olive branch at that time. It is even possible that he can have both sides until he is almost sure.

Compared to rushing to Beijing now, there is nothing wrong with waiting for an opportunity here in Zhongzhou. Originally, he was just looking for an opportunity. Who knew that the second prince's person would come suddenly.

Xu Qiao only thought about his own future development, and never thought about the fact that if these people in the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce bleed heavily against the second prince this time, if he surrendered to the third prince later, these people would bleed again.

In the eyes of an official like Xu Qiao, these businessmen are just leeks that can be cut at will. How much they lost has nothing to do with him.

Xu Qiao's wife was originally worried that her man would be neglected, so when she got confused, she did impulsive things, but she finally felt relieved after hearing Xu Qiao's sound analysis today.

"It's good that the master knows what's in his heart, and the concubine supports the master!" After so many years, Xu Qiao has given her respect, and she and Xu Qiao naturally respect and love each other, and the tone of their words at this time is also trusting.

Xu Qiao saw that his old wife trusted him so much, so he really took her hand, "Thanks to you being by my side all these years, wait, when the time comes, I will let you be ordered by my husband to be promoted to another level, and it may not be impossible to become a wife in the future!"

There were many wrinkles on the woman's face, and her figure was out of shape due to having a child, but after hearing Xu Qiao's words, the woman still looked at her man with trusting eyes, "Yeah!"

Xu Qiao's heart also moved, and the husband and wife rested together.

And Zhen Tian, ​​who lives in the inn, met Liu Qing. Liu Qing explained that Xu Qiao had gone back after the banquet, but also met some businessmen.

"This Xu Qiao is a loach. He hides behind. I'm afraid he knows what's going on in the capital. While not offending the Second Prince, he also wants to sit on the Diaoyutai!"

Zhen Tian took a sip of the honey water, and nodded in satisfaction with the sweet taste.

Liu Qing also frowned after hearing what Zhen Tian said, "What kind of person is he, how dare he say anything and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai?"

Zhen Tian chuckled, "This Xu Qiao is indeed a villain, but he still has the ability to manage Zhongzhou like this these years. You can also ask people to check the affairs of the Wang family. This family has a lot of plans and seems to be low-key. However, they hid the affairs of the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce tightly, which is not something that ordinary families can do!"

Speaking of this, Liu Qing also became serious. If he hadn't come here with His Royal Highness, he wouldn't have known that Zhongzhou had such a big money bag, and the Wang family had never attracted attention in the capital. The income, the mind is naturally not so simple.

"The minister will investigate!" Liu Qing replied.

"Well, it's best to find out the purpose of this Wang family, otherwise, even if you want to make enemies, try to solve it in advance!" Zhen Tian finally said.

"Yes!" Liu Qing understood what Zhen Tian meant. Yan Qi needed money, and so did Yan Chen. Even now that Yan Chen had Zhen Tian, ​​a very profitable concubine, Zhongzhou couldn't afford to lose such a huge money bag. To Yan Qi's hands.

Now Liu Qing is very convinced of Zhen Tian, ​​no matter what she does, she will not hesitate to obey.

"Go back, we only have five days, we must leave Zhongzhou!" Zhen Tian told Liu Qing to leave.

This time they came here to rob money, in fact, they robbed the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce’s money, these merchants in the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce are actually very innocent, doing business well to make money, but Zhen Tian set up a fraud gang and took away their hard work harvest.

But now Zhen Tian has no other choice, the East Capital Mansion is still short of food, she can't get the money by herself, so she can only fool others into taking the money.

Moreover, the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce itself probably understands that they can make money so much, the higher ups will definitely stare at them, and they also need another asylum. to that far.

They just saw that the Wang family couldn't let them surpass the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce, and they wanted a greater reputation so that they could bring greater wealth.

But now that Zhen Tian cheated them of their money, in fact, the enmity was given to the second prince in the end, and when Yan Chen came over, they would all be used by Yan Chen.

In the future, when they know that it was not the second prince who cheated them, but the third prince's concubine, that will be a later matter. Zhen Tian is confident that when the time comes, these unprofitable businessmen will understand. Prince, it is her, the third concubine, who benefits them more.

Therefore, Zhen Tian, ​​who framed and added money, did not have much psychological barriers, just like Zhen Tian said, if she wants to do things without money, she can only play hooligans.

Zhen Tian seems to be quite professional in this regard.

Then, when the time came, the second day Zhen Tian and the others came to Zhongzhou, the businessmen who got the news from the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce all gathered in the largest restaurant of the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Mu Liang and Zhu Dong got up early in the morning, and they didn't wear official uniforms, they just went out in casual clothes.

Zhen Tian, ​​as the mastermind of the whole plan, has been staying at the post station instead of going out. She is just a maid now, and her identity should not go out, and she is a princess after all, and it is not good for these businessmen to really know that it is the princess herself. Form a group to cheat them.

The same is true for her pretending to be a maidservant. Almost no one will pay attention to the appearance of a maidservant, which is also the best way to hide it.
