Chapter 317 The last fire depends on Zhao Wu's prosperity!
night.
Sheriff's Mansion.
Qi Bainian asked: "Going back to her parents' house? What kind of petty temperament is she playing?!"
The housekeeper stood aside with a bow, not daring to say a word.
"I've been the busiest for the past two days and I don't have time to pick her up. You can arrange for someone to pick her up early tomorrow morning."
"yes."
Just as the housekeeper was about to go down, Qi Bainian suddenly thought of something and called out: "Wait!"
The butler stopped.
Qi Bainian said: "Let's just follow her wishes and let her stay at Miao's house for these two days, so as not to have to deal with things for me after we get her back."
The housekeeper confirmed: "Then... you won't be going tomorrow?"
Qi Bainian nodded and said: "After the completion ceremony is over, I will pick her up in person. She is angry, and I will give her enough face when the time comes!"
The butler bowed and said, "Master is so kind to Madam!"
…
Elegant and popular courtyard.
Zhao Cheng and Yuan Yun were enjoying the cool air in the yard, while Xia Qi and A Tao held their shoulders respectively.
Heng Wenhao stood in front of the two people and told the story of the fight at the dock.
Yuan Yun said: "Although this Qian Lang is not as good as you in martial arts and cultivation, he has the ability to subdue you in the water. He is a talent."
Heng Wenhao said fairly: "This man is simply a nightmare for pirates."
Yuan Yun nodded and said: "After Qi Bainian falls, we will find a way to control Qian Lang and see if we can use him."
Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "If you recognize Qi Bainian as your boss, you are serving the imperial court. If you recognize me as my wife, you are serving the imperial court. It shouldn't be difficult to recruit him."
As he spoke, Zhao Cheng glanced at A Tao behind Yuan Yun and sighed in his heart.
Heng Wenhao is a top master, and A Tao is probably not weak either. Since marrying Yuan Yun, there have been more masters in the Youxiang Mansion. If Qian Lang is recruited, it will be another big help.
From the perspective of pure profit, no matter in any aspect, Zhao Cheng's marriage to Yuan Yun has made huge profits.
When they were talking, Zhao Yan rarely interrupted, but this time he interrupted: "When the time comes to deal with Qian Lang, let me go!"
Zhao Cheng was a little surprised and said: "Even Heng Wenhao can't beat him in the water, how dare you go?"
"Why don't you dare!" Zhao Yan said angrily.
Zhao Cheng said: "Being brave is a good thing, but you can't be reckless."
"I'm sure!"
Seeing that Zhao Yan was full of fighting spirit, Zhao Cheng did not want to throw cold water on his younger brother and said: "Then you and Heng Wenhao will be together."
"yes!"
Yuan Yun said: "The most powerful person around Qi Bainian is Qian Lang. This is obvious. He has been operating in Jiangcheng for many years. Secretly, there may no longer be a top master like Qian Lang, but he must still have some hidden strength. He fell After leaving the altar, we must be more vigilant to prevent him from fighting us to the death."
Heng Wenhao said: "Can we really let him fall off the altar like this?"
Zhao Cheng smiled slightly and said: "The last fire depends on whether Zhao Wu burns well or not!"
…
Miao family.
Sitting at the main seat in the lobby was an old man with a gray beard, who was Miao Shaohua's father and the head of the Miao family.
"Shaohua, I'm very angry about Shang'er, but as the head of the family, I care more about the interests of the entire family. Because of this, I swallowed my breath. So you have to think clearly, if you really want to fight with Qi Bainian breaks up with each other and doesn’t say the final outcome, but both sides will definitely suffer.”
Miao Shaohua was still angry and said: "Why doesn't my daughter know? But Qi Bainian has changed. After joining the Tu family and the Lu family, he has completely changed! He will not put the interests of the Miao family first. One person!"
The head of the Miao family said solemnly: "I told you back then that this boy is definitely not a kind person. I could suppress him before, but after he became the county guard, he had the idea of wrestling with the Miao family. He
Instead of helping the Miao family deal with the Tu and Lu families and supporting the Miao family as the first family in Jiangcheng, they instead tried to balance the relationship between the three of our families. Do you know why?"
Miao Shaohua shook his head and said, "My daughter doesn't understand these things."
"It's very simple, he hates me." The head of the Miao family sighed, and then said: "If the father-in-law who looked down on his poor son-in-law back then became the head of the largest family in Jiangcheng, then the poor son-in-law would not be able to look down on his father-in-law forever?
"
Miao Shaohua's face changed slightly and said, "Dad, I blame my daughter for not listening to you."
"It's meaningless to talk about this now." The head of the Miao family waved his hand and said, "If we want to solve the current problem, it depends on whether you can stand this anger."
Miao Shaohua said: "Dad, what's your opinion?"
The head of the Miao family said: "Qi Bainian is so powerful now, of course dad hopes you will endure it."
Miao Shaohua thought for a while and said: "It's not that I can't bear it, but my daughter feels that Qi Bainian will take advantage of it and cannibalize our Miao family bit by bit."
The head of the Miao family nodded, stroking his beard and said: "Your concerns are right. Dad has been guarding against him. You can tolerate this matter if you are willing to, but we can't let Qi Bainian think that we are giving in. We
There should be some action."
Miao Shaohua asked: "What does dad want to do?"
"The young prime minister came to Jiangcheng with fairy wine and goods from the Oriental Chamber of Commerce. He just wanted to establish a foothold in Jiangcheng and open up the market in Jiangyang County. But he never thought that the Tu and Lu families would resist him and have a tough attitude. In order to help
The Tu, Lu, and Qi Bainian families even instituted a ban on alcohol."
"What does this have to do with us?"
"The Tu and Lu families boycotted the young prime minister and threatened all merchants in Jiangcheng not to cooperate with him. Other merchants are afraid of them, but we, the Miao family, are not."
"That's true, anyway, we have been fighting with their two families for so many years." Miao Shaohua understood what his father meant and asked: "But the prohibition on alcohol is a government order after all. If we want to violate it openly, Qi Bainian will not do it.
Be merciful."
The head of the Miao family said: "We don't sell wine, we only sell soap and toilet water. Now we go to the young prime minister, which is a timely help, and we have a chance to win the exclusive sales rights of Jiangcheng."
After a pause, the head of the Miao family stroked his gray beard and continued: "This move is not only to show our attitude to Qi Bainian, but also to tell him that the Miao family has compromised on the woman's matter, but the Miao family is not a soft persimmon who can be bullied by you.
, and we can also seek huge benefits from it.”
"Once you use things like soap and toilet water, they will become a lifelong habit. The markets in Yanchuan City and Jingdong County have proven it."
The Miao family leader's old eyes were shining, he clenched his skinny palms tightly and said, "This will create a steady stream of wealth for the Miao family!"
Miao Shaohua nodded, finally showing a smile on his face.
At this moment, a person suddenly fell down from the roof and walked towards the lobby.
Seeing the scar on this man's face, Miao Shaohua exclaimed in surprise: "It's you!"
Zhao Wu sneered and said: "Master Qi is indeed right. Even if Madam returns to her parents' home, she will still cause trouble!"
"How outrageous!" The head of the Miao family slapped the desk hard, stood up and said, "This is my Miao family, not your Lord Qi's county governor's residence!"
"Here comes someone! See you off!"
A group of servants armed with sticks rushed in.
Zhao Wu held the knife in both hands, smiled disdainfully, and said: "You want to send me away just because of these rotten shrimps and stinky bird eggs?"
