The eldest daughter is not easy to bully

Chapter 175 Banquet
"Father, Ling Zhao and Ling Han have already removed their names from the family tree. Then they should also be expelled from the Ling family." Ling Qing said again: "Jiang Qing, what do you want to do?"

Ling Chengtian looked sincere: "What about her son and daughter, what about her as a mother! Anyway, they are treated equally."

"But will mother blame her daughter for being so terrific?"

"Fortunately, your mother has a spirit in the sky, and protected us from their persecution. Think about the killer Ling Zhao recruited. If we weren't too smart, we would have gone to find your mother long ago."

Ling Qing smiled reassuringly: "You are right, City Lord Ling."

Ling Chengtian also laughed, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had a high level of understanding, and could hear the meaning behind his daughter's words.

"Master, Miss." Xu An couldn't hide his surprise in his tone: "Ah Dumb has sent you a letter."

When Ling Chengtian heard it, his half-closed eyes widened brightly.

Ling Qing took the white letterhead from Xu An, it seemed that Nan Dong and Uncle Dumb met.

The letterhead was unfolded, and there were only two lines of writing on it.

The pawn shop found the son's clothes.

He met the dead men from Beiliang who chased him down.

"Daddy, why do people from Beiliang dare to assassinate brother so blatantly?" Ling Qing suddenly remembered that Ling Chengtian gave Ling Ze the only business order.

Could it be that in addition to breaking the roots of the Ling family, the people in Beiliang also wanted to win the business order.

"Fundamentally speaking, Beiliang State urgently needs money to fill the national treasury. They want to seize Changrun and threaten us to send money."

"Because of lack of money?" Ling Qing's current understanding of Beiliang only has a little memory from his previous life.

No matter how many, that is, in this life, I occasionally learned about those things about Beiliang from those Beiliang people who admired plum blossoms.

Ling Qing thought about it, half a month had passed since she came back, and there was no news about Chen Xian from Mei Xin.

"Yeah." Ling Chengtian thought for a while, and then said: "I don't know why since five years ago, that is, after Wu Anhou died on the way to the expedition, the national fortune of the Northern Liang Kingdom began to decline."

"Although in the eyes of the world, Beiliang is still a powerful country, but that's just the surface."

"Now, they instigate those dependent countries to invade those small countries, so as to obtain ill-gotten gains to maintain the operation of their own country."

It was the first time Ling Qing heard the name Marquis Wu'an from someone else.

The heart can't help beating so fast.

After recovering, she suddenly understood why Ling Zhao kept buying land in Beiliang.

Those people from Beiliang who fooled him might be some dignitary in the Beiliang dynasty.

Didn't it mean that Ling Zhao and Ling Han have been getting to know some powerful people in the past few years!

There are only a few dignitaries in Ducheng, the four elders.

There are also a few well-known merchants, who are not rich and powerful, at most they are a little richer than the poor.

"Father, you know that all the wealth of our Ling family has been taken by Ling Zhaoquan to Beiliang country to buy land."

"Moreover, he still owes the Chamber of Commerce more than 80 gold. Now that he has been evicted from the Ling family, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely come to ask for this debt." Ling Qing pondered.

Ling Chengtian nodded: "Qian Rong is the least affectionate person in the chamber of commerce. If he is in charge of the chamber of commerce, he must be looking for a reason now, and then come to collect debts."

"My daughter has already decided to be a shameless little girl."

"It might piss him off."

"That can't be helped. He won't listen to his daughter. If he really asks Ling Zhao for money, he only sees the Ling family."

Ling Chengtian laughed, he never thought his daughter could see so clearly.

Qian Rong has coveted the position of city lord for a long time.

Now that he has the opportunity to bring down Ling Chengtian, if he doesn't hurry up and continue to bring him down even more, then he won't be called Qian Rong anymore.

"By the way, there is also the Zheng family." Ling Qing continued: "Daughter, Zheng Lin seems to like Ling Zhao very much."

"Now Ling Zhao is no longer from the Ling family. I don't know if Mr. Zheng Yuan will let her marry."

Ling Chengtian was neither close nor alienated from Zheng Yuan.

We usually only meet and talk at the chamber of commerce.Never met in private.

They don't know each other very well, but Ling Chengtian knows that Zheng Yuan loves his daughter very much.

He made his wife and left early. It can be said that he was both a father and a mother, raising his only daughter Zheng Lin.

Although Zheng Lin is somewhat spoiled, she does not distort her temperament.

Ling Chengtian once asked Ling Ze if he had any thoughts about Zheng Lin, but he was countered by his son's indifference and could only retreat and shut his mouth.

"If Zheng Lin insists on marrying, Zheng Yuan may have to admit it!"

"Not necessarily." Ling Qing looked at Ling Chengtian's eyes looking forward to what to say, and said with a smile: "Daddy forgot, Ling Han provoked the Cao family."

"Papa didn't see the way Elder Qian nodded and bowed to Cao Cheng, so he almost called Cao Cheng the ancestor."

"Besides, my daughter heard from Shizi Xiao that Mr. Zheng Yuan's wife and Cao Cheng's wife used to be sisters. Will he offend Cao Cheng because of Zheng Lin's waywardness?"

Ling Chengtian fell into deep thought.

Unexpectedly, he had only left the Chamber of Commerce for half a year, and the situation had already become like this.

Cao Cheng is a man with a deep city.

Doing things smoothly without leaving any room for others, the benefits will only be taken by oneself, and only the disadvantages will be left to others.

Such people will only make the Chamber of Commerce's reputation worse and worse.

This is also the main reason why Ling Chengtian voted against Cao Cheng.

The other elders also had their own considerations, so they all opposed it.

Only Zheng Yuan voted for it because of the friendship vote given by his wife and Cao Cheng's wife.

"By the way, Dad, what did Cao Cheng do to contribute to Ducheng or the Chamber of Commerce, so that he applied to join the Chamber of Commerce so confidently?"

To join the chamber of commerce, one must have made some contribution to Ducheng or the mall.

The second is that the family property should be eye-catching enough.

There is no less than three.

"Because he obtained the latest ordnance from Beiliang people for Ducheng. He also attracted Rouran people to join the mall and increased the mall's income."

"Besides, his family wealth is quite impressive, that's why he has such confidence to apply."

What can Rouran people introduce?
Ling Qing didn't pay attention to it, but she knew that ordinary things in the Central Plains were rare things in their place.

And their things are also rare in the eyes of us Central Plains people, but they are not necessities of life.

Also, get the latest ordnance provided by the people of Beiliang.

This reminded Ling Qing of the Gu family.

She also wanted to ask Ling Chengtian about the situation of the Gu family, but saw that he couldn't open his tired eyes.

Ling Qing looked at his father's haggard and tired face, tucked the quilt for him, and quietly walked out of the bedroom.

After instructing Xu An, she returned to Yueman West Building.

At this time, the sky was so dark that half a moon could not be seen.

Inside the house, Ling Qing was sitting in front of the window with three thousand hairs scattered.

Tonight was Wutong's vigil, and she walked to Ling Qing with two small bamboo tubes.

"Girl, this is the letter from Nan Dong and Mei Xin."

Ling Qing took it, and the first thing he opened was the white letterhead from Nandong.

The content is even more detailed than what Uncle Dumb sent back.

First, it repeated the two lines that Uncle Dumb sent back.

Then came other news.

The dead men from Beiliang returned to the capital and entered the Chen Mansion.

Ling Qing shredded the letter paper.

Then he opened the white letterhead that Mei Xin sent.

Beiliang Chen Xian is the prospective son-in-law of a Beiliang wizard, and he is getting married recently.

The matter of chasing and killing the son was suspected to be ordered by the wizard.

Ling Qing thought about these two sentences for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. Can Chen Xian get rid of Gu Yuan?
