Chapter 170
The tone of her praise was too sincere, Jiang Ziruo blushed, shook his head and said, "Miss Wei praised me. The right time, place and people are indispensable for my father to have today. Although I aim to surpass my father, but I want to be able to do everything well in a down-to-earth way.”

"Of course you are no worse than your father. Among the wealthy businessmen of all dynasties, when did a woman appear? Maybe you are the No. 1 in the history books."

It's really strange, Shu Yao is innocent and clean, and doesn't know much about the world, why can I always be infected by her emotions?This may be the reason why the conductor made the adults admire her.Jiang Ziruo smiled and said, "Okay. Let Miss Wei give me a good word, and I will work hard."

Chunrui followed them closely, and when they sat down in a teahouse, Chunrui stopped and said in a low voice, "Lady, the people at the table diagonally opposite have been with us for a long time. The dark guards said, follow us We have more than this one team, initially estimated to have 20 people."

Shu Yao glanced at them, and saw a few men dressed in ordinary clothes, drinking tea and drinking as if nothing had happened, no different from ordinary guests.Jiang Ziruo changed his expression slightly, and said, "It should be from the Jiang family."

Jiang Ziruo has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is more sensitive to the outside world than ordinary people.After her brother disappeared, she discovered that several people had been spying on her all the time, and they were all sailors from the Jiang family.

So many days have passed, and these few days are the Cao Gang gathering again. Jiang Ziruo thought that the surveillance of her would be relaxed, but he did not expect that more people would be sent instead.Jiang Ziruo was afraid for a while.If she followed the original plan and secretly searched the west courtyard of the Jiang Mansion while her father and Xiao Sui were away... would she disappear like Jiang Zian?

Are these people loyal to Xiao Sui, or... her father, Jiang Min?

Before Shu Yao left the house, Li Mingji had already said that he would send someone to follow her, so Shu Yao was not afraid.She frowned, and hated Xiao Sui even more in her heart. No matter who was following them, as long as she had something to do with Xiao Sui, nothing good would happen.

She has to find a way to get Li Mingji out of Xiao Sui's control... It's best to change Li Mingji's identity so that Xiao Sui can never interact with him.

Shu Yao suddenly froze.

Isn't this a ready-made identity in front of Li Mingji? —to be her county horse.

……

"Today, Jiang will toast with everyone!"

On the painting boat, Jiang Min raised his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp, and all the leaders of the Cao Gang below responded one after another.

"Brother Jiang, why didn't you see your Zi'an? Didn't Ziruo come?"

"Exactly. Didn't Brother Jiang intend to train Zian? Why don't you call him on such an important occasion?"

"If your family is not married yet. How old is she? If this delay continues, how will you find a good family?"

Jiang Min smiled and said: "Zian, Ziruo have other things to deal with, let's forget it this time. I will bring Zi'an to the next meeting. Everyone, please drink to your heart's content, and Jiang will not accompany you for now."

Jiang Zian had "disappeared" for many days, and Jiang Min let Jiang Ziruo pretend to be Jiang Zian, concealing the news about Jiang Zian.Regarding this son, Jiang Min's mood was complicated and difficult to distinguish, and he couldn't figure out how to deal with him, so he could only let him disappear like this first.

Fortunately, he still has a good daughter who is better and better than his son. If he really gives up on Jiang Zian and let Jiang Ziruo live instead of Jiang Zian, it would be fine.

It's a pity that this daughter is too smart and has already become suspicious of him.He deliberately didn't let Jiang Ziruo participate in this gathering, just to try her out.

Jiang Min walked up the stairs and left the cabin.On the bow platform, Xiao Sui leaned on the railing and looked into the distance.

He paused, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Sui hummed lightly, without looking up.Jiang Min gritted his teeth, knowing that he didn't like to be disturbed when he was alone, and he didn't make fun of himself.

At first, with Xiao Sui's help, Jiang Min subdued several batches of capable boatmen and formed Cao Gang to transport goods. He really respected Xiao Sui very much.However, as time went by, Jiang Min built a huge business network on the canal with his own hands, and Xiao Sui only needed to say a few words behind his back to obtain the status of the leader of the Cao Gang, and was respectfully called "Sir" by the entire Cao Gang. , living above Jiang Min, the real helmsman, how convinced Jiang Min was.

What displeased Jiang Min the most was Xiao Sui's arrogant attitude.After cooperating with Xiao Sui for so many years, Jiang Min dared to take risks, so he already had guesses about Xiao Sui's identity.But now that the Wei family is in power, Xiao Sui is neither a relative of the emperor nor a noble official, why does he still look at them with superior eyes?Now that they are no longer Daliang, and their great cause has not progressed, he should not be immersed in the old dream of the old capital.

What's more, if the matter is exposed, Jiang Min is sure to get rid of the relationship, but Xiao Sui only has one dead word.Xiao Sui should see clearly who is more worthy of relying on.

While thinking about it, his confidant rushed to report: "Patriarch, Patriarch, Fenghe Villa is on fire!"

Fenghe Villa, that is where Jiang Zian was imprisoned.

Jiang Min's face darkened: "What's going on? Where's Ziruo?"

"Second Lady and the newly-acquainted Miss Wei are shopping at the market."

Not her?Jiang Min said inwardly, "Prepare your horse, follow me to Fenghe Villa immediately!"

……

Shu Yao remembered Li Mingji's instructions, so she got on the carriage back home at dusk, and pulled Jiang Ziruo up by the way, "Sister Ziruo, I ate at Jiang's mansion before, so you can come to Zhizhou mansion for dinner today."

It's obviously someone else's home, but she spoke calmly, as if this place was her territory.Jiang Ziruo laughed, "Okay."

It just so happened that she didn't want to go back to Jiang's mansion and make false claims with those people.

Now Lin Zongfu was frightened, seeing Shu Yao bring someone in, he didn't dare to say a word.He was thinking about how to bribe Li Mingji, but Li Mingji actually mentioned the names of his two private houses, which made Lin Zongfu's knees go limp in fright, and he almost knelt down for Li Mingji.

However, up to now, Li Mingji has not convicted him. It seems that he just scares him. Lin Zongfu is not sure about his attitude, so he has no choice but to please Shu Yao, repeatedly emphasizing that Shu Yao regards Zhizhou as his home.

In the end, that little lady was even more arrogant than Li Mingji, and she didn't think much of him as the magistrate at all. It was really more difficult to serve each other.

When Shu Yao returned to the small courtyard, Li Mingji was reading the file.Recently, he would bring a stack of files over every day, and Shu Yao would glance at them occasionally, and found that what he was looking at was very complicated, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

She suddenly had the idea of ​​playing tricks, walked lightly behind Li Mingji, and covered Li Mingji's eyes with lightning speed, "Don't move, this is the order of the princess."

If it wasn't for Li Mingji's connivance, Shu Yao wouldn't be able to get close to him at all.But he just put down the scroll cooperatively, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "What does the princess want to do to me?"
