At night.

Xu Yi lay lazily on the Taishi chair.

Quietly looking at the pile of documents in front of me in a daze.

God knows how many brain cells were lost trying to process these documents.

Fortunately, the result is good.

The mountain of paperwork has been dealt with.

The various networks of relationships hidden in these documents have been roughly clarified.

nowadays.

The only difference is a reason.

A reason to officially attack those aristocratic families.

And this reason will most likely surface within a few days.

Just when Xu Yi was distracted lazily.

A swaying figure appeared outside the lobby.

The figure seemed to fall down at any time, but every time it was close to falling.

He swayed and stabilized his body again.

Xu Yi stood up slowly and walked towards the man who was swaying unsteadily.

As soon as I got closer, I smelled the smell of alcohol.

"Why did you drink so much?" Xu Yi stepped forward to help the drunk Zhao Shou.

Zhao Shou looked at Xu Yi with hazy eyes.

It took a long time to recognize who the person in front of me was.

"Sixth Master." Zhao Shou said with a bleary grin, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's rest today."

"Doing things for Mr. Liu is not hard at all." Zhao Shou shook his head repeatedly.

Then he said, "Zhao Shou is not drunk. If you don't believe me, Mr. Six, look at it."

Zhao Shou gently pushed Xu Yi's hands away and staggered into the lobby.

But when I was about to reach the door, I tripped over the threshold.

If Xu Yi hadn't been by his side all the time, it would have been God's blessing not to knock out two big teeth.

"Okay, okay, I know you're not drunk." Xu Yi shook his head and slowly helped Zhao Shou towards the backyard.

After Zhao Shou is settled.

Xu Yi stood in the backyard and whistled softly.

In the quiet night, the whistle was particularly clear.

It doesn't take a while.

There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the inner courtyard wall.

Then a black figure jumped lightly from outside the wall.

"Wen Xin pays homage to the young master." The person who came was clearly the leader of Wen Xin.

"Come with me." Xu Yi nodded, then turned and walked into the study.

In the study room.

"Sit." Xu Yi walked to the Grand Master's chair next to the desk, pointed to the opposite chair and motioned for Leader Wen Xin to take a seat.

After the leader of Wenxin sits down.

Xu Yi then said: "How is the old man of the Wang family doing now?"

Hearing this, the leader of Wenxin replied without hesitation: "The doctor said that there is no serious problem and he will be able to wake up almost tomorrow."

To a certain extent, Zhou Qiping's relics will be Xu Yi's first attack against those aristocratic families.

There is no reason why Xu Yi is not interested.

Xu Yi nodded and asked, "Has anyone gone to Wang's house to cause trouble in the past two days?"

The eldest son of the Liu family had an "accident" and only visited the Wang family during his lifetime.

It is only natural for people from the Liu family to go to the Wang family to check the situation.

But obviously, the people who caused trouble in Xu Yi's mouth were not just people from the Liu family.

Leader Wen Xin nodded and replied, "Yes, people from the Liu family have been to the Wang family."

"It's just that the Wang family was in a mess at that time, and all the men were bedridden."

"The Liu family looked at it and left cursing."

"Shortly after the Liu family left, several groups of people from the Wang family came to inquire about the situation."

"Those people are the Qian family, Wu family and Li family in the north of the city."

Xu Yi leaned on the Taishi chair, constantly searching for information about these families in his mind.

Maybe these houses are really inconspicuous. I searched and searched, but I didn't have any impression at all.

Xu Yi nodded and signaled Leader Wenxin to continue.

Leader Wen Xin spoke again: "Besides these three families, there is another family. That family is the Feng family in the south of the city."

Xu Yi slowly stood up and asked: "The Feng family in the south of the city? The Feng family of Qingzhou Trading Company?"

Leader Wenxin nodded and confirmed: "It is the Feng family of Qingzhou Trading Company."

Compared with the previous three companies, the Feng family of Qingzhou Trading Company had a much deeper impression on Xu Yi.

Among today's documents, there are more than ten documents for Qingzhou Trading Company to apply for assistance in disaster relief.

Xu Yi frowned slightly and quickly searched for information about the Qingzhou Feng family in his mind.

After a while, I fell into a huge memory.

This Qingzhou Feng family should have been called Pingjiang Hou Feng family.

His ancestor was awarded the title of Marquis of Pingjiang eighty or ninety years ago for his military merits.

In the next thirty or forty years, no one in the Feng family was awarded a title for military merit.

The title of Marquis of Pingjiang was naturally taken back by the court as his ancestors aged.

Since then, the Feng family has started a water transport business relying on the skills passed down from their ancestors.

Who would have thought that in the past twenty or thirty years. The Feng family actually relied on water transportation for business.

Suddenly rejuvenated, his family now has more than ten county magistrates.

It is for this reason that the Feng family is also called the county magistrate family.

After a severe drought in Guanzhong, the river bed dried up.

The Feng family's water transport business plummeted, and it was precisely because of this that the Feng family wrote to the court several times.

Request to clean up the river bed, build a Grand Canal, and divert the Wei River from Chang'an into the canal.

As a result, Emperor Zhengde, the Feng family's secretary, only glanced at it and threw it to the cabinet.

The cabinet glanced at it and called back.

Without him, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.

Everyone knows that building the canal can alleviate drought, but the problem is that the Guanzhong Plain at this time simply cannot withstand the hardship.

Beyond the first time, there is a more serious issue.

That is because the court had no money. After the Battle of Mobei, it took more than ten years for the Zhou Dynasty to just regain its strength.

No one wants to waste people and money on building the Grand Canal at this time.

After being rejected several times, the Feng family finally recognized the reality.

Instead of resenting the court, he threatened to provide disaster relief at all costs.

This couldn't help but make Emperor Zhengde feel very good.

He praised Qingzhou Feng's family again and again.

For a time, the Qingzhou Feng family enjoyed great glory in Chang'an City.

Such families went to the Wang family to cause trouble.

"Zizzizi." Xu Yi smashed the bar and murmured: "It's really getting more and more interesting."

One is a prosperous family in Chang'an City, and the other is a small family that has long been in decline.

These two families are clearly at two extremes.

But now the two families have intersection.

Moreover, it was the Qingzhou Feng family who took the initiative to go to the Wang family to inquire about information.

obviously.

Only Zhou Qiping's relics can make Qingzhou Feng's family so careless about their identity.

Among Zhou Qiping's relics, there might be something that the Qingzhou Feng family would even dream of destroying.

Things are really getting more involved and interesting.

I really don’t know how many aristocratic families will be eager to jump out in the end.

Xu Yi calmed down and looked at the leader Wenxin and ordered: "Assign more people to protect the Wang family in the past few days."

"After the old man of the Wang family woke up, he immediately sent someone to look for me."

Leader Wenxin nodded and solemnly said: "Follow the order!"
