Qi Xiao obviously noticed Feng Xi's speechlessness, and immediately explained:
"As far as I know, Xie Bin and his son had a good relationship with the Chen family of the Qingzhou Xianglu family when they were investigating the land enclosure case in Nandi. Soon after, the Chen family emerged as a new force and successfully occupied most of the spice market in Dazhao."
Feng Xi tilted her head and signaled Qi Xiao to continue.
"Just in the middle of last year, the Chen family has donated a large amount of money to the Duke's Mansion and successfully obtained the protection of the Duke's Mansion. Now it can be regarded as the branch of the Xie family that has not changed its surname."
"That's it."
Feng Xi nodded:
"In other words, the Chen family is now a branch of the Xie family on the other side of the Xie family. They have a foundation and connections, but they just need a new recipe to detonate Shengjing, so Xie Bin and his daughter want to come to my place. Is there an autumn breeze?"
Qi Xiao gently tapped the table with his slender fingers, and said matter-of-factly:
"Xie Wanyin has been embarrassed by you many times, so he naturally wants to regain his reputation. As for Xie Bin, the old fox, he probably wants to try to see if he can get the prescription. If you get it, you will earn it. If you can't get it, you will earn it. They’re not at a loss, right?”
"It's not a loss if I can't get them? Then I have to find a way to make them suffer a loss?"
Feng Xi smiled, if this tiger doesn't show off its power, they all think she is a sick cat, right?
Mr. Xie has already said that the Xie family will be left to her in the future, and she can give the title to whomever she wants.
Although she doesn't care about that useless title at all, but as Mr. Xie said, she can't let others use her things to deal with her, right?
She had not looked at how many branches of the Xie family there were, but for now, except for Xie Fu, a few old men's cronies, almost no one else regarded her as their master.
Now that the old man and the father and son of the third room are unconscious, who do they need to say their allegiance to?
It must be the big room of the Xie family...
Very good, since these people are not willing to be loyal to her, then they should not be attached to the Duke's Mansion.
Get out, get out!
"I didn't let the old man wake up before because I was afraid that he would always think about home and everything, and then he would become soft-hearted and cause other troubles. Now it's good, those who have different intentions have come out."
Qi Xiao poured a cup of tea for Feng Xi, already anticipating Feng Xi's reaction.
They don't want the Xie family to become enemies, so the best way is to directly annex the Duke's Palace to the Princess Protector's Palace.
But don't swallow it whole, but remove the impurities and leave only the most essential part of the pulp.
Now that the walls of Princess Protector's Mansion have been pushed down by everyone, it is obviously the most convenient time for them to observe these people.
Facts have proved that most people in the Xie family are unreliable, or in their eyes, the eldest member of the Xie family is far more reliable than Feng Xi, the orthodox direct descendant.
In addition, Xie Bin and his son did get along more with these people. Even if Feng Xi wanted to kick the Xie family's eldest family member out of the Duke's mansion, I am afraid these people would become entangled with the Xie family's eldest family member, making their efforts in vain.
Rather than doing this, they might as well strike first and make the head of the Xie family suffer, who is so heartless.
For example, on the fragrance they want most right now.
"Although the Chen family in Qingzhou has the reputation of being the best incense in the South, it can be said that they started their business by imitating, stealing and bribing officials."
In Qi Xiao's narration, Feng Xi quickly learned about this so-called "first fragrance" in the South.
It is said to be the "first fragrance", but in fact all the signature fragrances of the Chen family are the signatures of others.
They mainly rely on poaching other craftsmen, or sending people undercover to steal the craftsmanship, or even stealing and other methods to obtain the secret recipes, and then produce them in their own name.
This kind of behavior is definitely disgraceful in Dazhao, but there is a good saying - bad money drives out good money.
Because the Chen family sells a variety of fragrant dew at low prices, and is popular with officials and their wives, most outsiders know their family first.
Therefore, with preconceptions and no intellectual property protection laws in place, the Chen family quickly overthrew several fragrant dew workshops in the South and became the so-called "No. 1 fragrance in the South."
Of course, the Chen family's competition with other families is bound to involve bloody conflicts, but the Chen family is rich and powerful. Not only can they spend money to settle matters, but the government is also interested in them.
Over time, those fragrant dew workshops swallowed their anger. Some were merged by the Chen family, some survived under the Chen family, and some went bankrupt.
Among them, the Su family, which was originally "the most fragrant in the South", is the best example of those who insisted on going against the Chen family, and now their family is ruined.
Hearing this, Feng Xi, an understanding king, immediately understood:
"So this Su family is the agent you found for us?"
Qi Xiao didn't know what an agent was, but he really wanted the Su family to take over the business from them.
The reason is very simple. The Su family has a clean net worth and they are the real craftsmen of the Southland.
In the past few years, although the Su family has always been known as "the best fragrance in the South", it is not a wealthy family. Instead, it has always been devoted to research with ingenuity.
In Feng Xi's words, it was because he was honest and didn't know how to market, otherwise he would have become famous a long time ago.
According to the investigation by Qi Xiao's secret guards, the Su family has an excellent reputation in Qingzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are charitable and charitable.
It's just that sometimes this person is too kind, and he is easily taken advantage of by bad people.
The Su family was designed by the Chen family to marry a woman, thus losing all the fruits of decades of hard work.
Qi Xiao has always felt at ease when dealing with Feng Xi, so he had no objection to choosing Feng Xi from the Su family.
But if they want to hand over the things in their hands to the Su family, they must go to Qingzhou in person.
After all, they need to see with their own eyes whether the Su family is qualified for this task.
If Qi Xiao herself still has to consider the issue of traveling and traveling, Feng Xi, who has space powers, has no pressure at all. She even wants to take a trip on the spur of the moment.
Although she spent a lot of energy taking people from Shengjing to Mingzhou a few days ago.
But how far is it from Mingzhou to Qingzhou?
The energy she has recovered now is definitely enough to go back and forth.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xiao shook his head at her and told her that even if they were going, they would go after midnight tonight, because there might be surprises in the first half of the night.
Feng Xi: "?"
She wanted to ask what the surprise was, but Qi Xiao just smiled and said nothing.
Until there was a strange noise coming from the Liu family's backyard that night, Feng Xi and Qi Xiao opened their eyes almost at the same time.
The two looked at each other, and the next second they saw a bamboo pipe piercing the hemp paper on the door, and the white smoke from the pipe quickly spread throughout the room.
Feng Xi took a deep breath and felt that she was not sleepy at all, and even a little excited.
Smokey?
That's it?
Seeing that the white smoke in the room was getting thicker and thicker, the door finally creaked open, and a rather vigorous figure walked in, aiming directly at Feng Xi on the bed.
He seemed to have known for a long time that there was more than one person in the room, so he also had a handkerchief soaked in medicinal liquid in his hand. It seemed that he had prepared it for Qi Xiao, who was sleeping next to Feng Xi.
Then when he wanted to cover Qi Xiao's mouth and nose, Qi Xiao snatched the veil away and covered his mouth and nose instead.
