Chapter 70 I have a family background
Changying looked at Leuke, secretly thinking that Tan Shao was late today, at this time a man came in at the door and sat down beside her.

She glanced at it, it was Su Xinrong.

This girl might have swallowed gunpowder today, so Changying glanced at her, only to see her staring resentfully at the back of Xu Lan in front of her seat. Location.

As soon as she got up, Su Xinrong took her seat, and stretched forward to say something to Xu Lan, but she couldn't hear clearly anyway.

When passing by, his sleeve touched Huo Rong's back inadvertently, but luckily he didn't notice, and sat there without moving a muscle.

Not long after, Tan Shao and others arrived, and the atmosphere was immediately solemn.

The routine guild talked about order and military discipline, and then announced several orders issued by the former military governor's office, and then mentioned the start of ship construction.No one mentioned the theft of timber at the wharf. It is obviously not appropriate to make a big fuss until it is investigated.

It's not up to Changying and the others to intervene in these matters, she is responsible for jotting down the outline.

Half an hour later, the discussion was over, and everyone got up one after another. Changying passed Su Xinrong who was still sitting sullenly, and walked back to the office.

Su Xinrong caught up with her: "Shen Changying, what kind of Gu did you put on Xu Lan?"

Changying guessed that she had nothing else to do, looked up at the sky, she smiled and said, "You want to know, I won't tell you!"

Su Xinrong clenched her teeth, but said nothing.

Huang Huiqi saw it from a distance, and came over: "Shen Changying, what are you talking to Sister Xin?"

Changying smiled: "General Huang is afraid that he has forgotten his identity. Let me tell General Su, who is my colleague, do you want to meddle in our affairs?"

Huang Huiqi was about to get angry, Chang Ying didn't bother to talk to her, and just said to Su Xinrong: "If you have time to waste on me, why don't you go to your business, don't forget, the matter of you framed your colleagues is not over yet."

She is not interested in competing with other women for a man. Since Su Xinrong likes Xu Lan, she should fight for him on her own. Otherwise, according to her words, it is not a matter of saying that she wants to fight with her?

It is the most ridiculous behavior to vent your anger on your opponent if you can't get it yourself, not to mention that she is not her opponent at all.

However, Su Xinrong might not understand these principles. The reason why she still came to make things difficult for her was because Xu Lan had nothing to do.

"Shen Changying, since you didn't mean that to him, why didn't you tell him directly? Let him stop thinking about it?"

But no, Su Xinrong held the hilt of her sword after hearing this, and looked over deeply.

Changying thought it was funny: "Why should I tell him? You have to figure it out, it's your business that he doesn't like you, not mine. No matter what my attitude towards him is, I don't have to tell you.

"Why should I explain to him for you? Besides, is there any position between him and me that needs to be explained?"

Xu Lan's mood never affected her, so why did she show her attitude to him in such a serious manner?

Su Xin stood with a gloomy face, saw that she was about to leave, and said, "No matter what you think, I will tell you that Xu Lan is the son of Xu's eldest son, there is no way you will be qualified to be the first young lady of Xu's family." !
"And," she paused at this point, "don't make a fuss about me framing you. Don't forget that I have a family background, unlike you."

She said the words "with family background" and "unlike you" very slowly and frivolously, clearly reminding Changying that she has no power.

Changying looked at her and smiled, and left directly.

It's not that she is acting out of honor or disgrace, but Su Xinrong is telling the truth. She really has no background, no family background, and no one to support her. She is no match for her.

After walking a few steps to the veranda, she met Huo Rong who was going back to the office, she didn't stop, and walked away with her head hooked.

Huo Rong didn't even look sideways, and went back to the room.

The wound that was hastily treated last night was swollen, and the doctor was already waiting in the room.

He was bandaged again with medicine, and he went to see Tan Shao with Xu Lan who had made an appointment.

"Yesterday I went to the river bay to watch until midnight, and finally saw the two ships docking. Then I checked the background of the two people. I didn't find out any connection with the Water Transport Department for the time being, but I found that they were involved in maritime affairs. For business, there are also materials made by Dongying people on board, you have been to the dock yesterday, did you gain anything?"

Xu Lan took out a few pages and showed him, and asked.

He glanced at it briefly, and also told about going to the dock, and then said: "It's nothing special, and the official materials are gone.

"However, the owner labeled 'Dingwang' seems to have someone in the Water Transport Department. I have sent someone to investigate further, and there may be a report in a few days."

Having said that, he raised his head: "Do business with Dongying people?"

When he was in Changxing, he found out that the prince had colluded with the Dongying people, but he didn't expect them to appear here again.

"How has the sea ban been caught in recent years?" he asked.

Tan Shaodao: "It is said to be forbidden, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can it be completely forbidden?
"There are Japanese pirates harassing the bay area from time to time, and there are even people pretending to lie in ambushes in coastal villages. Officers and soldiers pretend to be villagers when they come, and loot everywhere when they leave. There are people from Daning and Japanese people here. In short, it is very chaotic."

He smiled wryly and said: "Although Jiaxing in Huzhou is not close to the sea, it is close to the sea. Although Japanese pirates did not directly invade the plains, if merchant ships have contact with Japanese people, they must be carefully investigated."

Huo Rong took it for granted.

Before the incident of Donggong colluding with Japanese pirates to plot against the national treasury, any such signs should not be let go, not to mention that the case of Donggong has not been disclosed to the public so far.

"I'll take care of it," Xu Lan said.

Huo Rong gave him a sideways look, and suggested to Tan Shao: "It's better to find him a partner. It's all because of General Su at this time. I suggest that General Su accompany him on the investigation."

Xu Lan turned her head when she heard the words, is he avenging himself?

He smiled and patted the armrest: "Then I will apply to lead General Shen. I have worked with her before and we have a tacit understanding."

Huo Rong stroked his wrist, his expression remained unchanged, but he didn't express anything.

"Forget it with Shen Changying." Tan Shao considered, "In a few days, the criminal officer Hedao will come to the pier again, and he will have to wait until after work starts.

"If you're not here, she can stand alone if she stays. If only Su Xinrong and the others are left, I'm not so relieved.

"You let Xing Mu or Lu Xin go with you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Huo Rong, and said, "Originally, the matter of the ship's materials is out of your control, but so far, only you know the situation on the two thief ships, so you must cooperate first.

"You can help to find out, find out as soon as possible, no matter whether you sue or not, at least you have to know."

Huo Rong nodded: "Do your best."

Tan Shao looked at his hand again: "What happened?"

"It was cut by the iron rod at the dock." He said calmly.

"Then this iron drill is very powerful." Tan Shaoyu looked at him behind the teacup he held up.

"It's not just powerful, it's just terrible." Xu Lan was annoyed.
