After the journey was exhausted, everyone went upstairs to sleep. The caravan was very generous to the hired men. Every time they stayed in the hotel, they did not ask for the cheapest big shop, but for the two of them to give the men a room.

We lived in a high-quality room with beds and clean rooms, and for this reason, the people hired all praised their boss for their generous pride.

Mou Biao and Zhu Houzhao had a room. After the two of them entered, the waiter brought in hot water. After taking a bath, they sat comfortably on the couch next to the window and looked at the street view outside.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door outside.

"Knock and knock..."

Mou Biao tilted his head, and heard that it was Liu Jin's voice, and then responded.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and Liu Jinxian, dressed as a rich man, also washed it. He came in and closed the door. He listened carefully to the movement outside the door before coming over to salute.

"Young Master!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded,

"But is something?"

Liu Jin glanced at Mou Biao on the side,

"Young Master... Just now when I was having dinner, the shopkeeper of the inn asked, and the goods in this fleet were going to be taken. I thought that we had arrived in Yongning, so I might as well sell the goods here and then transfer them.

And how about going back to Yanqing?”

After leaving Yongning and walking north, he had to go to Sihaiye. It was the place where he could speak to the Tatars through the city wall. He had just asked the shopkeeper that this year the Tatars had a severe drought, and it had not yet

By autumn, the grass and trees withered, and there was no food for cattle and horses on the grassland. The Tatars are now ready to move and have repeatedly tried on the border. It seems that this year, I will be sieging the city in advance!

Liu Jin was frightened when he heard this. Now they are protecting the prince! The crown prince of the dynasty is the successor of the country!

If there is a mistake, he will have ten heads that are not enough to cut!

So he thought for a long time in his mind, and then looked at whether he could persuade the prince to go back. Unfortunately, the prince did not understand his painstaking efforts at all. He nodded first after hearing this.

“It can be sold…”

Before he could show his joy, he continued,

"After the goods are sold, we can go on the road lightly and go to the border to see..."

Liu Jin was shocked,

"Too...Young Master, the situation on the border is so tense now, and the Tatars have repeatedly shown signs of offending the border, but they must not go to the border!"

It would be fine if he didn't say it, but as soon as he started talking, Zhu Houzhao smiled and continued,

"If the Tatars don't come, I won't go!"

Liu Jin immediately had a bitter face and looked at Mou Biao beside him with help. But Mou Biao didn't look at him at all. He just looked out the window and Liu Jin said helplessly.

"Mu Baihu, you are trying to persuade the prince!"

After hearing this, Mou Biao turned his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao.

"Young Master, if you go further, our customs clearance documents will not be used!"

Walking further to the border is not a place where the caravan can go. If you want to go to the border garrison, you need military documents. If you want military documents, then their whereabouts will not be hidden!

Zhu Houzhao also thought of this and thought for a while,

"Without a document, it's better to go quietly... I need to go and see the border..."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Jin and Mou Biao, and said firmly,

"I have decided, you don't have to persuade me..."

The two had no choice but to remain silent. Liu Jin had to go downstairs to find the shopkeeper and talked about selling goods. The shopkeeper did the inn business, and the news from the south and north was the clearest, and he also did this kind of buying and selling goods.

When I heard that Liu Dong's family wanted to sell goods, I agreed to it.

"I will release the news today and I will be able to reply to my brother tomorrow!"

Liu Jin wanted to delay this matter for a few more days, so he waved his hands and smiled,

"It's okay, even if you have arrived here, you have to sell it for a good price, and you won't be in a hurry!"

The two of them discussed that Liu Jin went upstairs to sleep. The shopkeeper's reply had not been delivered on the second day, but there was a commotion coming from the downstairs early in the morning...

The fifth aunt from Silian called Jinzhu back to her parents' home to inquire. She came to find Silian in panic.

"What should I do, what should I do!"

When the fifth aunt came over, Silian was enjoying the cool under the tree. A small table was placed next to the bamboo chair. There was a small copper basin on the small table. There was half a pot of broken ice in the copper basin, and a pot of sour plum soup was iced inside.

The authentic sweet sour plum soup in the room, and saw the fifth aunt coming in in a panic and sitting on the bamboo chair beside her.

"Si Lian, it turns out... it turns out that the field is really not from right place!"

The fifth aunt has always been careless and has resentment towards her parents' family, so she is not very concerned about her parents' affairs. When she goes back on weekdays, she heard that her family's life is getting better and better, but she just thinks it is the master's care for her, but she rarely

I asked how my mother's house and shop came from, but now I finally thought about asking Jinzhu to inquire. When Jinzhu came back to report, I became more and more shocked when I heard it.

She sat there, midsummer afternoon, with a pale face and a trembling body, as if she was in the coldest days.

"It turns out that not only the fertile fields, but also the shops in the city are all from the right place!"

The Shao family was originally poor, and if not, they would not have sold their children. However, since the daughter became the concubine of the commander of the Jinyiwei and gave birth to a very favored son, the Shao family has been willing to suffer and have reached the sky in one step.

At the beginning, they just rely on the money they took back to their parents' home to buy a shop and had a family to make a living. Later, when people outside learned about the relationship between the Shao family and the Mou family, someone began to ask for a visit.

Then, someone from the Shao family used the Mou Mansion to greet the people in the face of the official, and those people didn't need Mou Bin to come forward, so they were frightened by the reputation of the Mou Mansion and got things done.

After a while, when things are done, the people will be wider. After the people are wider, the Shao family will have no need to cross the road in front of Mou Bin. So the money comes and greed becomes greater.

, houses, fields, and shops are more and more, and the forces in the capital are mixed, and they also know that seeking profit and avoiding harm, not provoking people who cannot be provoked or oppressed, the Shao family has no mercy at all.

These things were not discovered one by one, but as time went by, the news was inevitable, and the servants in the mansion also knew a little. Although Jinzhu only heard a few words when he inquired, it was

It's shocking enough!

The fifth aunt said with a blank face,

"No...not only those fertile fields...and...there are shops and houses..."

She was really scared. Although she had a low background and had no knowledge, she had been in the Mou Mansion for so many years. She also learned some knowledge from Mou Bin and Liu. She naturally knew what her parents did.

If you pull out something, it will be the end of the family being destroyed. The fifth concubine is in vain and her son is not around. The person she trusts the most in this mansion is Si Lian. Here comes to ask Si Lian in a panic.

"What should I do? What should I do... I don't know about those things, even if I let my wife know about them, I... I don't have any good results!"

Liu wished she could get rid of her and let her take it. If she took the ruthless move, even Mou Bin couldn't stop her!

Si Lian saw that she was nervously stying the handkerchief, and her ten fingers were tangled white. Si Lian lowered her head and thought for a while and advised her,

"Why would you better tell your father-in-law?"

Aunt Wu was startled and bit her lip and said uneasyly.

"But... but the master's temperament... if he... if he... if he..."

If you are merciless and deal with Shao's family, what should you do?

Silian sighed,

"Auntie, I'll do it all if I don't do it. Think about what my father-in-law does. As my daughter-in-law thinks, my aunt can do things so big, and my father-in-law's place is just dark under the light, and I'll see you Others didn't care about me, or my father-in-law knew about it, and I didn't say anything to my aunt..."

Paused and said,

"But neither of these two things is a long-term solution, unless the aunt can let her family stop and return the things that have taken over. Otherwise... this matter will be unstoppable sooner or later..."

The fifth aunt's face was almost transparent, she shook her body and murmured with a veil.

"But...but if I...I...if I tell them...willn't it...I'm going to report them?"

She... Although she resents them, she can't make up her mind to let them go to prison!

Silian said again,

"My aunt has to figure it out. My father-in-law is the most distinctive in terms of public and privateness. Even my mother-in-law dares not twist the tiger's beard easily. If my aunt wants to protect her family, she will make her fuss about it in the future and let her father-in-law have a relationship with her, and my aunt will be reunited again. What should I do?”

The fifth aunt was shocked, as if she was shocked. What is the reason why her family can be so arrogant and domineering now? Isn’t it because of Mou Bin’s favor for him?

If she was protecting her mother's family and causing Mou Bin to become disgusted with him, then...what else can she rely on!

She has been favored for so many years and is well aware of everyone in the palace, especially Liu, who has long been jealous of herself. If Mou Bin really makes her disgusted with her, then she will be pushed by the wall and beat the drums and beat them. She will be unable to protect herself. , let alone family members!

The fifth aunt thought about it and had a vague decision in her heart, but she still couldn't make up her mind, so she pulled Silian's hand and asked,

"But... But what if the master is merciless and put them in prison?"

Silian shook her head and said,

"Auntie, your relationship with your father-in-law for many years is not to be taken from you, but also to the husband. According to the daughter-in-law, even if your father-in-law wants to deal with it, he will not put it on the surface. If they take action, they will probably return what they have taken away, and give them some compensation and wipe out the matter..."

Silian grew up in the capital since she was a child, so she has heard a lot of such things. The relatives from wealthy families have gone with great power. Not to mention Mou Bin, there are evil slaves in the Shangshu Mansion. When the master knows these things, for the sake of reputation or true justice and selflessness, the first one will deal with the evil slaves of relatives and use money to compensate others. Afterwards, he made a memorial to apologize in the court. The emperor Most of them will forgive him for being innocent!
