Zhu Xiuyuan held a pillar and walked along the corridor to the east courtyard.

Suddenly a servant chased after him: "Son-in-law, the master asked the son-in-law to go to the study and said that there was something important to discuss."

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, but then he thought about it and realized it.

What else can my father-in-law ask him to discuss matters at this time?

Of course, we are discussing two vicious incidents that happened at the same time today!

These two facts are suspicious, and Zhu Xiuyuan also happened to find some time to discuss with Dong Cheng.

So Zhu Xiuyuan rushed to Dong Cheng's study immediately.

In Dong Cheng's study, two father-in-law and son-in-law sat down with him.

"Son-in-law, what do you think about today's affairs?" Dong Cheng sat down at his desk, staring at Zhu Xiuyuan.

"My father-in-law, according to the son-in-law's opinion... The two things that the son-in-law was assassinated and Shuyu was robbed by bandits were very suspicious. They happened almost at the same time. It was too coincidental... Someone must be planning behind this, and they wanted to severely damage the Dong family!"

"Yeah." Dong Cheng nodded in praise and asked again: "Who do you think the person behind this arrangement and planning is the one? Who wants to severely damage my Dong family?"

In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan had thought about this question a long time ago.

However, now the Dong family's great enemies in Jiangzhou - Fangtang, Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian, are all killed, and their family forces are uprooted.

Where is there anyone else?

Zhu Xiuyuan has never thought about this problem thoroughly. It seems that the Dong family has not provoked anyone?

"My father-in-law, this... the son-in-law is stupid..."

"Hahaha..." Dong Cheng laughed.

"My father-in-law, you are... Could it be that Mr. father-in-law has already gotten his eyes?"

"I have indeed had a little bit of my eye, but I can't be sure."

"Oh, I wonder what my father-in-law's eyes are?"

"Son-in-law, think carefully, what have we done since the outbreak of the plague half a month ago? Who have sinned? Among our sinned people, who has the ability to attack my Dong family at the same time?"

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned and pondered when he heard this.

Although he is a time traveler, he is far inferior to Dong Cheng, who is an old fox, in some aspects.

Especially in his ability to peel off his threads and clarify his clues in complicated matters, Zhu Xiuyuan is willing to accept Dong Cheng's disadvantage.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan has been learning from his father-in-law, Dong Cheng’s method of doing things, and Dong Cheng’s scheming...

He frowned and pondered, connecting the people he offended since the plague and disaster, and then analyzing the forces behind them...

Dong Cheng looked at his son-in-law who was in deep thought, and showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He smiled calmly, held up the teacup, and slowly picked up the hot tea, leaving enough time for Zhu Xiuyuan to think.

After a cup of tea.

"My father-in-law, could it be... the Xue family?"

Zhu Xiuyuan thought about it and found that only this Xue family could have the ability to launch an attack on the Dong family at the same time.

Moreover, the affairs of the state yamen returning to protect the tea farmers in Fuliang County were considered to have infringed on the interests of the Xue family.

Blocking one's wealth is like killing one's parents!

Dong Cheng nodded secretly, his eyes showed praise, then put down the teacup and said slowly: "No, right! The head of the Xue family, Xue Baochang, had mixed up with Fangtang, Hua Chaoshi, Wan Qian and others, and would buy them one by one... This person is cunning and cannot be underestimated."

"Xue Baochang's second brother Xue Baoqing was the Minister of Revenue in the current dynasty, and had a high position and great power. Furthermore, Xue Baochang's daughter married the King of Shaozhou in the west as a concubine, which was considered the in-laws of the King of Shaozhou..."

"The Xue family has used these two forces to become the largest tea merchants in several prefectures and counties around Jiangzhou in just a few years... Over the years, the Xue family has accumulated a lot of money!"

"My father-in-law, what should we do?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"Although I suspect the Xue family today, we have no evidence. The black-clothed assassin who assassinated your son-in-law is a dead soldier, and they cannot be confirmed. As for the bandits of Lushan who robbed Yu'er... Today, I and the steward of the royal palace searched through the entire bandits of Lushan, but did not find any relevant evidence..."

"Hey, for the sake of this, we can only strengthen our defense and ensure safety, and make a long-term plan!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and said, "It seems that we can only do this..."

...

When Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng were discussing affairs in the study, Dong Shuzhen's boudoir was also not quiet.

A discussion also started.

"Wu'er, I was so scared today!" Dong Shuzhen patted her chest and said she was afraid.

"If the master hadn't happened to appear, my husband...If my husband had a few shortcomings, what would I do... oh..." Dong Shuzhen became more and more scared as she thought about it, and finally she started crying quietly.

"Miss..." Xia Wu sat beside Dong Shuzhen. When she saw her lady crying, she hugged her and comforted her repeatedly.

"Then it's my sister. If my husband hadn't kept the master hard, then she..." Dong Shuzhen remembered Dong Shuyu again. If the old beggar did not arrive in time, her sister might... Dong Shuzhen could not imagine it, so she had to continue crying.

"Miss..." Xia Wu hugged Dong Shuzhen tightly to show comfort.

Only the person who grew up with the lady knows that she, don’t be joking and carefree on weekdays, like a child without worries.

But every night when it's late at night, the lady will worry about this and that...

Dong Shuzhen cried like this, and Xia Wu didn't know how many times she comforted her.

"Wu'er, you usually have many ideas, so think of a solution. What should you do with your husband and sister? Why are there always bad people trying to make their own ideas?"

When Xia Wu heard this, her face suddenly became serious, her head turned, and she began a brainstorm...

She is the "think tank" and "dog-headed military advisor". It is her "responsibility" to give advice to the lady.

Moreover, Xia Wu loves to do this.

"Have it!"

Not long after, Xia Wu looked happy and said to Dong Shuzhen like a treasure: "Miss, I have come up with a solution. I have come up with a great idea!"

"What idea?" Dong Shuzhen's face was immediately happy, and she hurriedly asked, and her humming sobs stopped.

"Miss, think about it, who is the person who always follows the son-in-law?"

Dong Shuzhen was stunned and turned her eyes clearly distinguished by black and white, "Xiao Wen'er?"

"Oh no, Miss, I'm talking about the son-in-law when he went out."

"Yan Dashan!" Dong Shuzhen suddenly realized, and then wondered: "But what is the use of Yan Dashan always following his husband? Although he is practicing martial arts with his master now, he has only one person. If he encounters this situation today..."
