Liu Han and Ding Xuan have no relationship, the relationship between the two is not salty or light, and they have married a few small beams, Ding Xuan once asked Liu Han for Qingjin, but Liu Han unceremoniously refused, and once helped the Cui family on the night of the next yuan, but after careful calculation, these are just small conflicts, and there is no major conflict between the two. lā

Liu Han couldn't think of a reason for Ding Xuan's troubled waters.

"Ding Xuan is a Jizhou gate valve?" Liu Han asked, Lao Huang showed a hint of mockery, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Ding Xuan is from Qingzhou, how did he become a Jizhou gate valve." ”

Liu Han shouted with some annoyance: "I know, these gate lord clans, fuck the damn, it's just a small Shaofu order, fuck!"

“; Sven!Pay attention to Sven!" Lao Huang frowned, knocked twice on the bookcase, and then teased: "I guess it's still rushing to Qingjin, if you are willing to send Qingjin to him, maybe you can make him turn the muzzle." ”

Liu Han rolled his eyes at him, Lao Huang's smile narrowed, and then he sighed: "This is a bad sign, although it is said that Qingzhou Gate Valve and Jizhou Gate Valve have always been good friends, but the Ding family and the Tian family, one supports today, and the other supports King Qi, but now the two have joined forces, which is a very bad sign." ”

Liu Han still doesn't understand, of course, he knows that there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in politics, but he still doesn't understand.

Ding Xuan, why did you meddle in this matter at this time???

"Alas, you underestimate Ding Xuan too much, if you see that he supports today, you should know that this person is still very discerning in some aspects. Lao Huang shook his head and sighed and said: "This Ding Xuan is known as the richest man in the Great Jin Dynasty, but more than 20 years ago, the wealth of the Ding family, especially Ding Xuan himself, can be regarded as a medium family at most, but in just 20 years, he has become the richest man in the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

"But why did he go into the troubled waters of Caoyun at this time?" Liu Han was still puzzled, and Lao Huang said lightly: "Although Caoyun is a trip to troubled waters, don't forget, Caoyun's benefits are amazing, just transporting grain, there are tens of thousands of silver every year, if you add a little else, the annual income of 100,000 silver is not too much." ”

Liu Han smiled bitterly: "Wealth is moving, but doesn't he know what the palace means?"

"What does the palace mean?" Lao Huang sneered twice: "Since the palace has already intended it to you, what are these families fighting for?! I even suspect a little now that the palace is deliberately using your knife to weaken the strength of these families." ”

Liu Han was slightly stunned and wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to say it, Lao Huang glanced at him: "You think you hide it well, but what if there are flaws there, so that the palace can see through it?"

Liu Han had to admit that this old guy was right, at least not completely wrong, if he accidentally showed his flaws there and was found out by the palace, or if the palace had doubts about himself, he simply used this matter to force himself to show his original form, this possibility cannot be said to be non-existent.

"What do you have in mind?" Liu Han asked, Lao Huang sighed softly: "There are no good ideas, you can only act at the opportunity, and also, you have to collect some strength, well, it's best, kill Gou Jing as soon as possible." ”

Gou is the white glove of several major valve families, and killing him can play the dual role of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle and knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

But now that he is hiding, he may have gone into hiding outside the city.

Lao Huang said and took out a map of the imperial capital, this map is very simple, but it is generally accurate, Lao Huang looked at the map and said: "Fengyulou occupies most of the imperial capital, and Gou Zheng definitely does not dare to hide on the ground of Fengyulou, he should still hide in his original territory, that is, the south of the city, this piece." ”

Lao Huang drew a small plot of land in the southeast corner of the south of the city, which is a typical mixed area compared to other areas, and there are no good restaurants or famous temples or important yamen on the map. It was filled with cart shops, low-class brothels, and casinos.

To put it simply, this is the slum of the imperial capital.

"It's a good place to hide. Liu Han smiled bitterly, this kind of place, no matter what era, is the best hiding place for criminals.

"I've asked Brother Tiger to send someone over to check. Lao Huang said.

Liu Han couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, Brother Hu is now busy checking the identity of the owner of the mysterious courtyard, this is going to be transferred, wouldn't it be interrupted over there.

Lao Huang knew his thoughts without even looking at him, and continued: "There are priorities, we don't have deep roots, and there is no way to do it. ”

"Whatever you want. Liu Han sighed, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Since Brother Tiger has been transferred out, let Xiao Qi also stop, let him go to Qingyuan to watch and take a look, and write down the surrounding terrain." ”

Lao Huang was silent, he didn't say anything to dissuade him, the two of them had cooperated for too long, he knew what Liu Han wanted to do, although the risk of this matter was very great, but if it was connected, the benefits would also be very large.

The two of them discussed the reports sent back from all over the place, these days they are busy dealing with the affairs of the wind and rain building, many things have been delayed, the development of branches in various places this year is different, Liangzhou has implemented a contraction strategy, strengthened the trade with Tubo and the outside of the Saiwai, Lao Wang's shopkeeper has opened a new wool trade, and the whole Liangzhou store has risen steadily; Yongzhou and the state have been affected by the situation outside the Saizhou, especially the merger, and the state reported that there may be a war on the grassland outside the Saiwai in the spring, so the caravan to the outside of the Saizhou has been reduced, and both states have shrunk; Youzhou store has developed smoothly, and the caravan has expanded to six; the fastest growing is still the Jiangnan store, after Liu Han passed, the Jiangnan store changed its strategyAlthough there are still not many land purchases, six textile mills have been opened, with 600 looms, and grain stores have been opened in six cities.

"There are good and bad, so be it. Liu Han got up and stood up, looked at the sky, it was not too late, Lao Huang looked at it and frowned and asked, "Don't you read the financial report over there?"

Liu Han sorted out his clothes and said, "What's so good, that thing is better than a ghost, I am very relieved of him." ”

Lao Huang picked up a few pieces of paper, didn't say anything, and lit them in front of Liu Han, and after a while, a few pieces of paper turned into ashes. The reports that came over there were all handled like this, and after Lao Huang and Liu Han read it, they burned it on the spot, without transcribing it, without leaving a file, but the eyes of a third person.

Liu Han was about to leave, the big head was outside and asked if he could come in, Liu Han and Lao Huang exchanged glances, and Lao Huang let the big head in.

"Master, teacher, Liu Tong sent an invitation in front. The big head said that he would send an invitation with a white cover, Liu Han was a little puzzled, took it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.

"At this time, someone still invites you to drink, your market is not bad!" Lao Huang sneered with a smile, Liu Han smiled bitterly and did not answer, handed it to him, Lao Huang took it and quickly swept his eyes, and then looked up at Liu Han: "It's her again, the tea party?"

"I know that. Liu Han smiled bitterly, the invitation was sent by Princess Jingming, how many times this is, he can't remember it clearly, since the last time he met this princess in the cockfighting ring, the princess sent him an invitation, to say that the princess's party is really a lot, there are two or three times a month, every time he sends him an invitation, he returns every time.

Today, this invitation is here again, it's going to be dark this day, what kind of tea to drink?

"The old rule, let's go back, just say that I'm busy with mundane things, so I won't drink this tea. After Liu Han finished speaking, he left, Lao Huang smiled bitterly, sat down and picked up the pen to write a reply to the princess's mansion.

As soon as Liu Han walked out of the Xiaoxiang Courtyard, he bumped into Liu Tong in a hurry.

"Master," Liu Tong hurriedly greeted him: "Someone from Princess Jingming's mansion, please come to the princess's mansion to attend the meeting." ”

Liu Han was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little unhappy: "You go back to him, and you say that you received her invitation, but I don't have time now." ”

"Master, it's the princess herself. Liu Tong stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Liu Han was stunned for a moment before he reacted, this Princess Jingming actually came to the door in person, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he could only let Liu Tong lead the way, and hurriedly walked to the front yard, only remembered halfway, and called someone to inform Lao Huang that the princess had come to the door in person, and there was no need to write a reply.

In the front yard, Princess Jingming stood in the courtyard with a delicate maid, looking around curiously, fortunately, the yard had been cleaned up, but the traces of repair were clearly visible.

Liu Han clasped his fists and saluted from a distance, and said loudly: "I don't know that His Royal Highness Fang is coming, Liu is late to greet him, and he also asks the princess to forgive him." ”

Princess Jingming turned her head to see him, and smiled: "Everyone Liu is so difficult to invite, the slave family has no choice but to come to the door to invite yourself." ”

Liu Han looked at Princess Jingming slightly, the princess wore a slightly simple brocade robe skirt today, the skirt was embroidered with a little plum blossoms, a red belt was tied to the thin waist that Ying Ying could hold, and the black hair was pulled into a Yuan Tianbun, and the white jade step was inserted obliquely on the bun, which looked simple and beautiful.

"The old princess is driving jade, Liu's sin, Liu's sin. Liu Han apologized repeatedly.

Princess Jingming smiled faintly: "What is Mr. Liu's crime, it is my poor etiquette, Jingming gave Mr. eighteen invitations before and after, but Mr. pushes each other with mundane things, thinking that Mr. is impatient with Jingming's contempt, so he uses this excuse, Jingming is ashamed, thinks twice, and has to come to the door today to please, one to make amends, one to invite Mr. to taste new tea, and Mr. Don't shirk." ”

Liu Han couldn't help but smile bitterly, now he understood why Xue Yuqiu Ge and they heard that this woman changed color, this princess wanted to scold people, it was really not a dirty word, but it made you very uncomfortable.

"The princess is serious, Liu does have a lot of mundane things," Liu Han glanced around, smiled bitterly and said: "The princess may also know, I had a lot of things last night, and I am really not in the mood to drink tea now." ”

Princess Jingming looked at it casually and sighed slightly: "It's not a secret, the slave family knows about Mr., but with Mr. is talented, such a small night, wave away, why should Mr. take it to heart." ”

Liu Han smiled bitterly again, it was the princess at the bottom, and her courage was big enough, he Liu Han suffered more than 20 casualties because of these small snacks, and lost nearly half of his strength, but she actually said it so lightly, it was all small.

Princess Jingming rolled her eyes, took two steps forward, and saluted Liu Hanyingying: "Sir, Jingming sincerely invites you, and invites Mr. to come and let Jingming have a chance to see her style." ”

Liu Han was caught off guard, took two steps back, avoided sideways, and returned the salute with a little panic: "The princess has killed the grass people." ”

"Sir is not a grass people," Jingming pursed his lips and smiled: "Sir is a forbidden army." ”

Liu Han laughed at himself: "What the princess said is, but even if the team is upright, it can't afford to be a princess's gift." Your Highness, the grass people, the lower officials, there is really something, or don't you change the day. ”

Princess Jingming shook her head: "If Mr. wants to shirk, Jingming has no choice but to use a killer move, don't blame Jingming when Mr. arrives." ”

Liu Han was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Princess Jingming in confusion, and a smile appeared on the corner of Princess Jingming's mouth: "If Mr. wants to shirk today, Jingming will enter the palace tomorrow and ask the imperial brother to let Mr. be responsible for the security of Jingming's mansion, sir, you see, the security of this imperial capital is getting worse and worse now, and even Mr.'s mansion has been attacked, not to mention Jingming's mansion, there are only some weak women in the slave family's mansion, this is a thief to come in, Jingming is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed, sir, do you think the imperial brother will agree?"

Liu Han's head suddenly became bigger, if this cunning princess really wants to do this, the emperor can agree to it, then he will be unlucky.

After being stunned for a long time, Liu Han sighed and had no choice but to nod: "It seems that the lower official will not be able to agree if he does not agree." ”

Princess Jingming suddenly became happy, took two steps forward, Liu Han hurriedly took two steps back, Princess Jingming stood and glared at Liu Han, Liu Han arched her hand at her, Princess Jingming suddenly laughed, this smile was like a flower blooming, Liu Han couldn't help but be stunned before reacting.

"Look at you, I really don't know if your cultivation as a grandmaster is real or not. Princess Jingming said and turned around and walked out of the mansion, Liu Han was stunned again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the imperial capital looks very big, millions of people, but it is actually very small, it has only been a few days, and even Princess Jingming knows it.

Princess Jingming's car is parked at the gate of the house, this car looks very jealous, this car is too eye-catching, not to mention the carved beams and paintings, the car is very wide, visually, it is as much as two meters, it is also very long, it is three or four meters long, and this carriage actually has four wheels, generally this Jin-style carriage has only two wheels, in addition, this carriage actually has four red horses of the same color.

The carriage stopped here, and countless eyes around glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Han sighed in his heart, this woman is with herself, this is obviously intentional, there will only be such a car in the princess's mansion, this woman is deliberately taking this car out, and when she arrives at the princess's mansion, she doesn't know what problems are waiting for her.

"Please, sir. Princess Jingming stood in front of the car and said to Liu Han.

Liu Han smiled bitterly, this Princess Jingming is angry today, she has rejected her more than a dozen times, and now she wants to take revenge and come back.

"Princess, the lower official knew that he was wrong, and asked the princess to board the car, but the lower official never dared to go first. Liu Han bowed his hand and said that if he dared to board the car first, he would be impeached in the imperial history tomorrow, so he simply said to death: "If the princess insists on refusing, the lower official can only go on horseback." ”

Princess Jingming smiled lightly, and no longer insisted, turned around and picked up the ladder, and after she entered, Liu Han boarded the car.
