Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 136 War Escalation (2)
Qi Xing said: "If Miss Shen didn't tell, they probably wouldn't have discovered the identity of the second master."

Yu Zixi said: "Why didn't I find out that when we were discussing how to deal with Xu Zongde today, Luo Jinxing had already beaten me."

Liu Xing was depressed, and said: "Then what should we do..."

The two walked back while talking, at this time Luo Jinxing had already returned to his residence from Xianglai House, and asked Xu Lin, "How, what did Qi Xing tell you just now?"

Xu Lin said: "He asked me about the assassination just now, and I asked him about the assassination in Jiangcun three years ago."

"What did he say?"

"He didn't admit it, but I can see from his expression that he must be lying. It was he and two other people who were assassinated three years ago."

Luo Jinxing said: "So, the assassination three years ago should really not be aimed at me. Could it be that Yu Zixi really wanted to harm Xianglai at that time?"

Xu Lin said: "Why did your son conclude that the Koreans would not want to assassinate you?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Three years ago, I hadn't fully recovered. It was rumored that I didn't live long. What's the point of them trying to assassinate a person who has no effect on Beiliao?"

Xu Lin said: "But they have no enmity with Miss Shen, and they have no reason to assassinate."

Luo Jinxing said: "Didn't Xianglai meet Yu Zixi's father outside the gold mine? It's probably related to this matter. It seems that Xu Zongde's gold mine really has some secrets. Songning County can't rent it for anything. ..."

Cao Mingquan said to release them, and he released them that night, but he never expected that these people would go back to the courtyard of the government office after meeting their families outside the government office. statement.

At that time, Xu Zongde was still in the government office. Under the persecution of Cao Mingquan, he issued 100 taels of silver bills to each of these detained men, and then they were dismissed.

Xianglai didn't expect Cao Mingquan, an old guy, to be quite decisive in doing things, and he calmed down the turmoil when he returned home. Heartwarming, even if my goal is achieved, the government will temporarily let it go.

As soon as the seals of each store are lifted, Xianglai is considered a victory in this round.

Now all the shops are profitable, and they have accumulated a certain source of customers. They can be regarded as gaining a foothold in Huikang Mansion. Besides, because of Luo Jinxing's plan, there is no need to trip Xu Zongde secretly, so these shops are reopening , and some that have not been affected before, have all been replaced by the name of Tianxiang Industry at the same time.

Within a day, the streets and alleys of Huikang Mansion were filled with these two words. The original Tianxiang cloth shop was not counted, and there were Tianxiang garment shop, Tianxiang wine shop, Tianxiang pastry shop, Tianxiang rice shop, and Tianxiang mill. , Tianxiang grocery store, etc., as long as it is related to the store operated by Xianglai in Songning, all the businesses have the word "Tianxiang".

Xu Zongde was dumbfounded when he heard the report, and hurriedly came to Cao Mingquan again, complaining: "Master Cao, you said that you will be released when you come back. This is good, those people we arrested before are really Chen Xianglai. Yes, once released, Chen Xianglai is like a tiger with wings added, and directly hangs up the sign to fight against me!"

"All those people came from Chen Xiang?" Cao Mingquan asked in surprise.

Xu Zongde said with a bitter face: "No, Mr. Jiang and I were so skeptical before, but we didn't find evidence, so you let it go. Chen Xianglai lost his scruples and directly put it on the bright side."

It's none of Cao Mingquan's own business, he didn't feel angry at all and said: "If it's really from Chen Xiang, it's right to let it go. When I came back from the king's capital, I heard that the Shizi Mansion is already preparing to go out. The Shizi team Right behind me, if you are still fighting with Chen Xianglai, maybe she will dare to stop Shizi's car and sue you. I think you have been obedient with that Chen Xianglai recently. Move the real chapter!"

Xu Zongde thought about it for the same reason, so he held back for the time being, not daring to show what he would do to Xianglai, so he could only compete with her on the price, trying his best to win back Xu's former customers.

There is An Guang, the chief executive, in the Shizi Mansion, and everything is arranged as if the Shizi was in the mansion. The chariot was prepared on time, and he left Beijing at the same time as in previous years, and headed towards Songning, but Luo Jinxing himself was not sitting in the chariot , but a little eunuch who had pretended to be him several times.

When Shizi drove past Huikang Mansion, Xianglai looked at the crowds running all over the street and said to himself: "It's the Ghost Festival again, and I should go home to visit my parents' graves."

At this time, she happened to be with Yu Zixi and Luo Jinxing. Xianglai turned to Yu Zixi after talking to herself, "Brother Yu, where did you bury your uncle? Why have you never heard about sweeping the grave?"

Yu Zixi said with a flickering expression: "I... transported his bones back to my hometown, so I never visit the grave here."

"Oh, then there is a ghost festival in your hometown?"

Yu Zixi said: "There are also, but we are called Baizhong Festival, and we also worship ancestors just like you."

He was worried that Xianglai would ask more questions, so he changed his words: "You should go back to Songning in the past two days, it seems that our plan to expand to other counties and continue to attack Xu Zongde has to be postponed. "

Xianglai said: "It's okay, don't take it easy, I'll take a detour from Songning, but I plan to take Guifang and Huiling away, and I'm going to trouble Big Brother Yu with everything here."

Yu Zixi said: "Sister Xianglai, don't worry, although I have never interfered in the business of Cloth Village, it is similar to other shops, so it should be fine to take care of it for a while."

While the two were talking, Luo Jinxing suddenly interjected: "When my bank in Songning has also arrived, I should be with Xianglai."

Xiang Lai nodded and said, "Well, that's good."

But Yu Zixi said: "Brother Luo's time to settle the bill is really special, others are at the end of the year, but you are setting it on the Ghost Festival, and those small banks in Songning are worth going to by Brother Luo himself A trip is really rare!"

Luo Jinxing looked directly at him and said: "Although the business is small, it is the foundation of the family business. The elders in the family let me remember the difficulty of starting a business, so I come to pay the bill every year. Why does Brother Yu object to this? "

Yu Zixi said: "How dare, how dare, Yu is just talking casually."

Xianglai had already seen the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, and seeing them bickering again, she said: "Well, I'm going out to buy something for Second Aunt and Tianlai, if you want to go together, come along."

Said has gone out.

It was Luo Jinxing who accompanied Xianglai in Buzhuang, but as soon as she left the gate of Buzhuang, it must be Yu Zixi who accompanied her. Seeing this, Luo Jinxing smiled and said: "Brother Yu, your errand is here, go and accompany her."
