Youshi, Lantian County, Qin Mansion.
Xiao Changxi, wearing a plain dress, a bun, and a veil on her face, was sitting behind the desk in the office in the front yard.
After hearing the news that He Yi brought back from Chang'an City, Xiao Changxi rubbed her eyebrows and said:
"He Yi, go back and tell Wen Yuan to investigate and find out who is behind the scenes, spreading news about Lang Jun in Chang'an."
He nodded and said respectfully:
"Yes, I obey."
After saying that, He Yi strode out of the office.
Not long after He Yi left, Zhang Zhaoyang, director of the First Vehicle Factory, walked in.
He bowed to Xiao Changxi.
"Zhang Zhaoyang has met Madam."
Xiao Changxi nodded slightly and asked:
"What is the factory's output during the day? Can it complete the court's 'order' in the next two days?"
Zhang Zhaoyang said respectfully:
"Reporting to Madam, the factory assembled a total of one hundred and fifty personnel carriers during the day."
"Including tonight's production, at least two hundred and thirty vehicles can be produced throughout the day."
Xiao Changxi nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, control the progress and try to complete the delivery with the people from the Ministry of Industry before dark the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Zhaoyang nodded and said respectfully:
"Yes, I understand."
At this moment, the office door was pushed open.
Xiao Changxi looked up and saw Xiao Meiniang, who was plain in appearance but extremely beautiful in figure, walking in carrying a food box.
Xiao Changxi stood up and said to Zhang Zhaoyang:
"Director Zhang, please go back first."
"Yes, ma'am."
After saying that, Zhang Zhaoyang turned around and left the office, without even looking at Xiao Meiniang in the process.
Xiao Changxi walked to Xiao Meiniang, took the food box from her hand, and asked:
"Sister, why are you here?"
Xiao Meiniang reached out and tapped Xiao Changxi's forehead, complaining:
"You, you, don't even look at what time it is?"
"No matter how busy the house is, you still have to take care of your own health."
"From now on, unless there is something urgent, no outsiders are allowed to see you after dark."
Xiao Changxi pursed her lips, lowered her head and said:
"I know it."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Meiniang couldn't help but sigh.
She pulled Xiao Changxi to sit on the sofa, then skillfully opened the food box and placed the dishes inside on the coffee table.
"Eat quickly. After dinner, go back and rest with me."
Xiao Changxi nodded, then took off her veil, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
After just two bites, there was a knock on the office door again.
Immediately, the maid Dongxue walked into the room and said respectfully:
"Madam, Jin Yi wants to see you."
Xiao Changxi put down her chopsticks and said to Dongxue:
"Let him in."
After speaking, Xiao Changxi stuck out her tongue at Xiao Meiniang, smiled apologetically, and put on her veil again.
"I promise, this is the last time."
Xiao Meiniang rolled her eyes and muttered:
"That boy is able to marry you, it's really a blessing in disguise."
After saying this, Xiao Meiniang suddenly remembered that her daughter seemed to have been ruined by Qin Ming, so she couldn't help but snorted coldly.
[Little thief, if you dare to do anything wrong to them in the future, I will castrate you. ]
At this time, Jin Yi, led by the maid Dong Xue, stepped into the door.
"Jin Yi has met Madam."
Xiao Changxi nodded and said:
"Jin Yi, how did you handle the matter you were told?"
"Reporting to Madam, according to your instructions, my subordinates have selected thirty people from the team."
"In addition, the required armor and swords are also ready and ready to go at any time."
Xiao Changxi nodded slightly.
Then, she took out a golden token from the bookshelf and handed it to Jin Yi along with a written letter.
"This is the token from the palace, as well as the letter I wrote to Lang Jun. Please keep it. If someone from the court asks on the way, just show the token." (The previous article has been slightly modified.)
Upon hearing this, Jin Yi immediately stretched out his hands, took the token and letter with a respectful expression, and then carefully put them into his arms.
"yes."
Xiao Changxi waved her hand and said:
"You go back and rest. You will take the people directly to Longyou early tomorrow morning."
Jin Yi bowed and said:
"I obey my orders."
Xiao Changxi glanced at Dongxue and said:
"Dongxue helps me send Jin Yi."
"Yes, ma'am."
After the two of them left,
Xiao Meiniang looked at Xiao Changxi with some confusion and asked:
"Where did you get this gold medal? Also, didn't you just send someone to Longyou a few days ago?"
Then, Xiao Meiniang complained:
"The Tang Dynasty is at war now, not the Qin government."
Xiao Changxi sighed and said:
"I asked for the token from my eldest grandson yesterday."
"I don't know why I've been feeling restless these past two days. I'm worried that something will happen to my husband in Longyou."
"I just thought about sending some more people there."
Xiao Meiniang frowned slightly when she heard this, took Xiao Changxi's cold little hand, and comforted:
"Don't worry, he is only a civilian in the army. It is not his turn to go into battle to kill the enemy."
Xiao Changxi smiled bitterly when she heard this.
Immediately, he told Xiao Meiniang the good news that came from Chang'an City in the afternoon.
Xiao Meiniang was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Her eyes widened and she said in disbelief:
"Does that kid have this ability?"
Xiao Changxi curled her lips, raised her chin, and said proudly:
"Sister, don't underestimate my husband. He is very powerful in all aspects!"
Xiao Meiniang was stunned for a moment, not knowing where she was thinking, her ears were red.
She secretly spat, reached out and tapped Xiao Changxi's forehead, and said:
"You! You tell everyone about everything, you are so shameless!"
"But if the content of the good news is true, then your arrangements tonight are indeed necessary."
"After all, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them..."
........
In a remote house in the backyard of Qin Mansion.
Li Yuan stroked his gray beard and murmured:
"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if you act above the crowd, the crowd will reject it."
"Zong Wu."
The shadow kneeling on the ground said respectfully:
"My subordinate is here."
Li Yuan stood up and walked towards the door while ordering:
"Go back and tell Miao Feng that it is my order, and ask her to check with you to find out which companies are behind this!"
Zong Wu said respectfully:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Yuan opened the door, then turned around and said:
"By the way, after finding out which families they belong to, kill all those who deliberately spread news about the Qin Mansion and throw their bodies into the courtyards of those families."
When Zong Wu heard this order, he hesitated a little and said:
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
Li Yuan turned around suddenly and slammed the door.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Zong Wu, and said coldly:
"Tell me, if you hide anything in the future, I will kill all nine of your clans!"
When Zong Wu heard this, he trembled, immediately fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"Today at Shenshi, the crown prince of Hejian County was drinking in Pingkang with the eldest son of Wei Gong's family, the eldest son of Yi Guo Gong's family, and the second son of Fang Xiang's family."
"During the dinner, the Crown Prince of Hejian County, for the sake of face, swore that the man from Qin County and the Princess of Danyang County were engaged to be engaged."
"My subordinates expect that this news is likely to spread among noble circles tomorrow."
"If we follow your Majesty's order just now..."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he felt dumbfounded.
"This bastard! He can really talk nonsense!"
After a moment of silence, Li Yuan suddenly laughed.
He waved his hand towards Zong Wu and said:
"You don't need to worry about such rumors. If necessary, you can help fuel the flames."
With that said, Li Yuan shook his head and walked out of the room.
Only Zong Wu, whose back was covered in cold sweat, was left messy in the wind.
On the corridor in the backyard of the Qin Mansion, Li Yuan was humming a tune and walking towards his yard, thinking to himself.
[You deserve to be left with nothing! Let you grind and chirp! What do I want you to do? ]
[By the way, I have several daughters who are of marriageable age, otherwise...]
