Qi Ning's hand climbed up from the sunken waist, but suddenly stopped halfway. The lady thought Qi Ning would definitely touch it. After waiting for a while, she couldn't feel Qi Ning's movement. She bit her lip and whispered in Qi Ning's ear: "What are you...what are you doing?"

Qi Ning sighed softly: "I'm afraid my wife will blame me, so I dare not do anything randomly."

The lady thought to herself that there were things you dare not do in the world. She had a delicate mind. How could she not know about Qi Ning’s tricks? She knew that Qi Ning was deliberately teasing herself. She was ashamed and annoyed. She wanted to break away. Qi Ning hugged her tightly and said softly: "If we have done the Tian Family Medicine Store’s establishment in the East China Sea today, should you stay here tonight?"

"No!" the lady said immediately.

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Then I can go to the guild hall."

The lady said anxiously: "That won't be possible. If someone sees you... do you want me to live?"

"This is not true, that is not true. Don't force me." Qi Ning deliberately tightened her arms, and the lady hurriedly said, "You... don't worry, I... I think about it again, it's still early before dark, anyway... there is still time, so just let me think about it again."

Qi Ning laughed and was about to kiss his wife's face. Suddenly, Wu Dalin's voice came from outside: "Report to the Marquis, the Donghai Fa Cao envoy Qin Yuege asked for a meeting!"

Qi Ning frowned and muttered, "I won't come sooner or later, but I just ran over at this time. This guy is really unlucky." His hands were slightly relaxed, and the lady took the opportunity to break free, widen the distance, glanced at Qi Ning, and laughed, then said, "Marty, everyone is waiting for you, you should put on your clothes quickly, you can't see him like this." He twisted his waist and walked over to pick up his outer shirt, spread out his clothes, looked at Qi Ning, and said with a smile: "Can you still wear it?"

At this time, Qi Ning naturally realized that Tian Xuerong today was very different from when she was alone with her.

In the past, Tian Xuerong should have felt awe of herself. When facing herself, she was always tense, very nervous, and even a little frightened. Her reaction was understandable in her heart. After all, an ordinary businessman and a woman, if she does not have awe, it would be unusual.

But Tian Xuerong has been significantly relaxed today. I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional. Tian Xuerong has been able to cooperate with her teasing, and even occasionally reveals the charm of a woman.

Once such a charming beautiful woman reveals an ambiguous feeling, there are really few people who can stop her from being tempted.

Qi Ning's heart was rippling. In the past, Tian Xuerong was asked to serve her clothes. After all, Tian Xuerong was a smart and mature woman. She occasionally showed a hint of charm, but she could grasp the opportunity very appropriately. When she no longer cared about Qi Ning's identity, but regarded Qi Ning as a man, she naturally knew how to use her own advantages to get along with Qi Ning.

Qi Ning knew that she and Tian Xuerong had a long time to come, and this beautiful woman was already her own pocket. She didn't have to worry about it, tidy up her clothes and jade belts, and then said to her wife: "Do you want to go to see Qin Yuege with me?"

“Is it…isn’t it inconvenient?”

"It's okay!" Qi Ning smiled and said, "You follow me, there will be nothing wrong." He led Tian Xuerong to the living room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Yuege sitting on a chair waiting. When he saw Qi Ning entering the room, he immediately stood up and bowed and bowed: "I'm humble to pay homage to the marquis!" He was about to kneel down and salute. Qi Ning had already raised his hand and smiled, "No need to be polite. When there is no one, I don't care about these cumbersome etiquettes. Qin Facao sits down and talks."

The lady followed him and heard him say this, she gave him a blank look and thought, "Are I a human being?" She bowed Qin Yuege to herself and immediately returned the gift.

Before Qi Ning sat down, Qin Yuege stood respectfully. After Qi Ning sat down, he saw Qi Ning signaling him and then sat down. Qi Ning also signaled his wife to sit down on a chair opposite Qin Yuege.

"Mr. Marquis, I am here to report the result to Marquis." Qin Yuege had just sat down and stood up again at this time and said respectfully: "Chen Kun has been taken to the yamen, Lu Ziheng was sent to the clinic to deal with his injuries, and would be taken back to the yamen later. What decision does the yamen have on this matter? I would like to ask for instructions!"

"Decision?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Qin Facao, you should be in charge of this matter? I am involved in this matter and are considered as the party involved. If I teach you how to do it, will people feel that it is interfering with your work and that it is suspected of abuse of personal rights?"

"The Marquis is the Ministry of Justice, and he is in charge of the world's punishment. He naturally has the right to make decisions on this matter." Qin Yuege said: "And Chen Kun has confessed, yes..." Looking at Tian Xuerong, nodded slightly, and then continued: "Chen Kun spread rumors in public and slandered the Tian Dongjia, and is willing to be punished."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "How to punish, you can follow the law. We cannot bend the law for personal gain."

"Yes!" Qin Yuege said respectfully.

"Qin Facao, I don't understand a few questions. You are a local and know more than me. I want to ask you. It is said that before the Old Marquis of Jindao pacified the East China Sea, the East China Sea was controlled by the four major families." Qi Ning asked with a smile: "Are these four major families still so arrogant now?"

"What is the Marquis referring to?"

"The president of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce is Jiang Mantian and the vice president is Chen Kun. Both of them are from the four major families." Qi Ning said: "Although Lu Ziheng is not a president, no one dares to say no at all what he said at the annual meeting. President Miao even has to be coerced by him. Could it be that the East China Sea is still controlled by the four major families now?"

Qin Yuege opened his mouth slightly, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

"Where are you from?" Qi Ning asked Qin Yuege without saying anything, and suddenly, "Are you a native of the East China Sea?"

Qin Yuege immediately said: "I am not from Donghai, my hometown is in Huainan."

"Huainan?" Qi Ning said: "The Qinhuai War also seemed to have affected the Huainan area..."

"That's right." Qin Yuege said: "The hometown of Beizhi is indeed war-torn, but Beizhi's parents have passed away, only one sister, and have already married. They are now living in Jingnan."

"So that's it." Qi Ning said: "Then you..."

Qin Yuege naturally knew Qi Ning's meaning and explained: "The humble official did not get married. The humble official started as a member of Huainan. The governor also served as an official in Huainan. The man was fortunate to be trained by the governor. Later, the governor was transferred back to the capital. After a few years, he was accused of suddenly receiving the order of the lord and being transferred to the East China Sea. Later, he continued to serve under the command of the governor and has been under the care of the governor."

"It seems that the governor Chen respects you very much." Qi Ning smiled and said, "You are from another place, but you have been in the East China Sea for several years. You should be very familiar with the situation in the East China Sea."

Qin Yuege said: "I do know a little about the humble ranks. The four major families of Han, Lu, Jiang and Chen can be regarded as a century-old family in the East China Sea, and they have close ties with each other. Over the past century, the relationship is also complicated. After the Han family became king in the East China Sea, the other three major families supported and provided a lot of help. At that time, all the important positions in the East China Sea were controlled by these four families. Jin Dao Hou conquered the East China Sea, and the troops were at the city. The Han family sought peace. The King of Donghai committed suicide. The court also vigorously cleared the Han family. They killed those who should be killed, those who should be exiled, and those who should be exiled, almost wiped out the Han family in the East China Sea...!"

"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, and eliminate the future troubles forever." Qi Ning said lightly: "This is also a last resort. Otherwise, if the Han family does not eliminate it, it will always be a future trouble for the court."

Qin Yuege nodded and said, "But the court still opened its own way to the other three major families and adopted the method of being kind. In fact, the court issued an order to kill the Han family only. The other three major families quickly left the relationship with the Han family. However, the relatives with the Han family who had blood in all clans were also bound to the court. In fact, the Han family could be quickly eliminated in a short period of time, and the three major families had made great contributions. Otherwise, the Han family would hide among the people. At that time, hundreds of thousands of people were gathered in the East China Sea. It was not easy to find the remnants of the Han family one by one."

Tian Xuerong heard it from the side, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say, "They...they're really vicious. They turn against each other when they say they turn against each other, even...their relatives."

Qin Yuege glanced at Tian Xuerong and didn't say anything. Tian Xuerong knew that she had made up her words and felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and thought how could she interrupt in such an occasion. She just felt chill when she thought of the three major families who took the initiative to hand over the Korean bloodline in their clan in order to protect themselves.

"They did that to protect themselves." Qi Ning said lightly.

Qin Yuege nodded slightly before continuing: "After the Korean tribe was purged, the court did not attack the other three major families, and sent people to appease them. The three major families also presented countless gold, silver and treasures to the court, and helped the court quickly stabilize the situation in the East China Sea. The court promised that the three major families could continue to reproduce and survive in the East China Sea and allowed them to do business. The only thing prohibited was that people from these three major families were not allowed to be officials in the East China Sea." After a pause, he added: "The court did not allow them to be officials. If there were really people with both talent and virtue, they could still go to the capital to be officials after recommendations, but they were not allowed to be officials in the East China Sea."

"The world has not been unified yet. If the people of Donghai govern the Donghai Sea and when they accumulate strength, it will be a big trouble." Qi Ning said: "It is natural for the imperial court to do this."

"The three major families also know the reasons, so their tribe members did not think about their careers since then." Qin Yuege said: "Even if they go to the capital to serve as officials, they are just doing business in the East China Sea. The Marquis said just now that these three major families controlled the East China Sea, and Bei Zhi dared to say that this is not accurate. It can only be said that the trade in the East China Sea should be under their control. The Jiang family operates maritime trade, and the Lu family intervenes in more industries. Pharmaceutical stores are just one of them. Whenever there is a business that makes money, the Lu family will intervene. There is also the Chen family. They have a large amount of private land in the East China Sea. Some people say that half of the grain collected every year in the East China Sea will enter the Chen family's granary."
