I have been training myself for such a long time, do I have a chance to show it?

Now that Bai Su came to her mansion in person, although she didn't know what Daliang's purpose was, this attitude alone made her completely relieved.

Daliangzao still remembered her, his hard work these days was not in vain.

Bai Su looked around curiously: "General Zhang, your mansion is really special. It's empty and you can hardly see anything. If you don't know it, you might think it's been robbed."

Zhang Han smiled happily: "Your Excellency is laughing at me. The general is not very interested in pleasures, so the mansion didn't ask the servants to buy anything other than military books, weapons, and Da Xia law books."

Bai Su was a little surprised, and glanced at the heroic woman in front of him: "Your simple temperament is the same as Wang Jian, one in the sky and the other in the ground. Her house is full of pleasures. If you have nothing to do, go to my young man's house. Go and ask for fruits and vegetables, wine, spices, and china."

"It's just like bandits and bullies going down the mountain. Every time they eat and take, they don't give a penny..."

Zhang Han pursed his lips and smiled: "If it's someone else, it's too late to be happy to be able to drink with the current general. My lord, I think the general is a bandit and bully."

"Sir, sit inside. I'll ask my servants to prepare tea for you. Let's sit and chat."

Bai Su nodded: "Alright, I happen to have a deal in my hand, and I want to discuss it with you."

"Trade?"

Zhang Han's black and white eyes froze for a moment, she glanced at Bai Su suspiciously, for a moment she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

What kind of business would you want to negotiate with a little lieutenant like her?

Chapter 290 Four, I am a knife for adults

in the library.

Zhang Handuan sat in front of the desk, brought Bai Su a cup of hot tea, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know why your lord came here suddenly?"

There was a burst of doubt in her heart, and she couldn't figure out what Bai Su was thinking.

After all, when it comes to trade and business, Xiao He, Cao Can and others are far above her, so there is no need to ask her to be a general.

Bai Su took a sip of the tea, the fragrance remained on his lips and teeth.

He smiled lightly and said, "This is not an ordinary business..."

Zhang Han's slender black eyebrows raised, and his mind couldn't help becoming active.

Although she is only a lieutenant and her official position is not particularly high, she is very concerned about the affairs of the court.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with Bai Su's behavior and style, knowing that this Daliang Zao has always said the same thing when talking about serious matters.

Anything that can be called extraordinary by Bai Su is not an important matter about national policy, but a great event.

After Zhang Han thought about it, he asked, "I don't know what your lord means..."

Bai Su put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "What do you think about the Qi Guotian family?"

Qi Guotian! ! !

Zhang Han's pupils shrank suddenly, unlike ordinary people.

When she heard Qi Guotian's first reaction, it wasn't that Tian was rich and famous, but that Bai Su wanted to attack Qi Guotian?

As a cautious person by nature, before she fully understands Bai Su's thoughts, she will not easily make any decision for Bai Su.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Han said slowly: "The Tian family of Qi State is the descendant of the former King of Qi. After Xiancheng surrendered to His Majesty, nearly half of the world's salt merchants came from Tian's family. Ranger, gather three thousand disciples."

"In Qidi, and even in the whole world, they have a decisive influence. I don't know why my lord suddenly mentioned Tian's?"

Bai Su chuckled lightly, and said: "The Tian family of Qi State is not dead-hearted, and they have close contacts with the survivors of the Six Kingdoms. There seems to be some conspiracy."

Zhang Han's eyelids trembled, and his heart was beating non-stop.

According to Lord Bai's meaning, he wants to operate on the Qi Guotian family.

This sudden blockbuster made her dizzy, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

After all, the Qi Guotian family has a big business, and there are many relationships, so it is not so easy to do it.

Firstly, after Tian's surrender to Daxia, His Majesty, in order to set an example for the world, promised in front of countless people to make Tian's life rich. If she just foolishly followed Bai Su and took Tian Shi knocked down.

His Majesty violated the oath of the year because she acted privately, so Longyan was furious and wanted to punish her, what should be done.

The second thing is that the Tian family controls more than half of the fine salt in the world, and it is tied to the interests of many people. This affects the whole body.

Seeing her frowning, Bai Su couldn't help but smiled: "You don't need to worry in the palace, His Majesty has long wanted to do this, but she can't say it or show it on the surface, you know I mean."

Zhang Han is also a smart person, and instantly understood the meaning behind Bai Su's words.

She tentatively asked: "Your Excellency, what do you mean, His Majesty will secretly support it?"

Bai Su glanced at her in surprise, and couldn't help but think inwardly, as expected from the history books, the last famous general of the empire, he really is a smart person who knows everything.

He nodded and said: "When His Majesty ruled the world, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he left behind many survivors from the six countries, and gave some of them a lot of status and wealth."

"At the beginning, these people were of great use to the stability of the world, but as the county system gradually stabilized, these people left behind became maggots with bones and scabies."

"Once we don't take the time to cut it off, the tail will be too big in the future. As the saying goes, an embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest, let alone such a giant as the Qi Guotian family."

"However, it is inconvenient for His Majesty to take action on this matter for some reasons, so we need to help His Majesty to do what she wants to do but cannot do."

"To put it simply, it is to take advantage of the opportunity of eradicating the survivors of the Six Kingdoms to wipe out these stubborn diseases left behind. I don't know General Zhang, would you like to help me?"

Zhang Han fell silent for a while after listening to Bai Su's words.

With her intelligence, she naturally understands that this is a huge risky bet.

If you lose the bet, you may offend many aristocratic families, and His Majesty can also act as if you don't know anything, and abandon her as a pawn, so that you will die without a place to die.

But correspondingly, once she wins the bet, it means that she has successfully entered Baisu, and is highly valued by Sister Zheng, and has the opportunity to be trained in the future.

Even if he was demoted, he would be promoted back within a year or two at most, and his official career would be smooth from then on.

This is very attractive to her who is eager to make contributions.

After struggling for a long time, Zhang Han finally made up his mind.

She took a deep breath, looked closely at Bai Su with clear black and white eyes, and cupped her hands and said, "The final general is willing to serve your lord like a dog, for the court, for your majesty, willing to be smashed to pieces."

Bai Su looked at her tragic look of sacrificing her life for righteousness, and couldn't help laughing: "You don't need to be so nervous, my lord never fights battles that I'm not sure of..."

He explained his plan in detail.

Zhang Han heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing Bai Su's plan.

On the top there is the sister Zheng nodding secretly, and in the middle there is Bai Su who is a Daliang Zao, going to deal with the ministers in the court, one to sing the good face and the other to sing the bad face to His Majesty.

Then what she needs to do is very simple, she just needs to cooperate with Bai Su's plan, as a sharp knife in Bai Su's hand, that's enough.

After all, with such two thick thighs covering one light and the other dark, there is nothing to be afraid of.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Han raised his head and looked at Bai Su with beautiful eyes: "I don't know what your lord will do?"

Bai Su took a sip of his tea, and said calmly: "The Tian family of Qi Guo is here in the local area, monopolizing salt merchants, driving up prices, annexing land, and doing sinful things. There are a lot of things that go against the peace of heaven."

"I need you to go to the local area and collect their criminal evidence, which is enough to prove beyond words."

Zhang Han's eyelids couldn't help twitching wildly. What Master Bai meant was not to ask her to investigate.

It was clear that she was asked to close the case under the pretense of investigation, so that some ministers from the six countries in the court could not say anything more about the evidence.

Although she complained for a while in her heart, she didn't show the slightest expression on her face.

After all, as a knife's duty, she only needs to be responsible for becoming sharp. As for other things, that's beyond her consideration.

She took a deep breath, cupped her hands and said, "Master, I understand."

Chapter 290 Five Undercurrents Surging

Qidi, Tian's mansion.

A magnificent mansion greeted the eyes, occupying a huge area, with high walls and green tiles, and huge red pillars standing tall. There were two rare and exotic beasts in front of the mansion.

Looking from a distance, it is very grand.

Although the Tian family has dissatisfied with the past, its influence should not be underestimated. It is possible not to know Xianyang in the local area, but it is absolutely necessary to know the Tian family.

in the library.

On the wooden table made of sandalwood, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones are neatly arranged, all of which are rare treasures in the world.

Against the background of flickering candles, I saw a dignified woman sitting in front of the table.

She lightly rolled up her sleeves, looked at the list in her hand, and frowned slightly with her slender eyebrows: "You guys want too many things this time, and I have to risk a lot to move such a large amount of green salt." Risk, once Xianyang finds out, I will be very troublesome."

This person is none other than the current Patriarch of the Tian family, Tian Mi.

And in front of her was an envoy dressed in a Hu suit. From the hair accessories and clothes, it could be seen that this envoy came from the Huns.

At this moment, the Xiongnu on the prairie appeared in Tian's mansion. If people outside knew about it, it would probably cause a lot of publicity.

When the Huns envoy heard her words, they smiled and said in a low voice: "Patriarch Tian, ​​what you said is a bit out of place. You will provide us with green salt and we will provide you with horses as agreed in private business. Now You can't break the contract..."

She skillfully took out a list from her sleeve, which was a list of horses transported from the Liaodong area in private without the knowledge of the court.

It can be seen from the proficient appearance that the transaction between the two parties is obviously not the first time.

Looking at the astonishing numbers on the list, Tian Mi couldn't help frowning and said, "You suddenly want to trade such a large amount of supplies. Could it be that you have made some big moves recently?"

The Xiongnu envoy said: "That's right, Shanyu decided to send troops to Beiting Dufu in the near future. Once there is a war between the two sides, the trade in the Central Plains will definitely be cut off by Xianyang. In order to prepare for daily needs, these things are essential. "

"Besides... you have obtained such a large number of war horses, so you can cooperate with those people from the Six Kingdoms, right?"

Facing the eyes of the Huns envoy, Tian Mi did not speak, and fell silent for a while.

That's right, her Tian family is the Central Plains, the grasslands, and all major forces have close relationships.

Donghu, the Xiongnu bought salt and iron through her hands, and the survivors of the six kingdoms in the Central Plains used her to buy war horses and other materials in the grassland privately.

After all, strategic materials such as salt, iron, and war horses are strictly supervised by the court, and only a family like her Tian's has the ability to bypass the court's eyes and ears and secretly smuggle them.

This is done to make money.

The second thing is, of course, to split up bets and build relationships.

A behemoth like Tian's would definitely make good friends with all the major forces in private. If the imperial court wanted to attack her in the future, when they escaped in the future, they would be protected by one of the forces.

If Xiang Liang and other people from the Six Kingdoms really succeeded in overthrowing Daxia.

The Tian family has made a lot of contributions, and it is not impossible to separate one side and restore Qi.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Xiang Liang and the others fail, the Tian family is still a well-known family in the local area, and it can be said that they are sure to make money without losing money.

Tian Mi was a little embarrassed at this time.

In the past, when she smuggled secretly, she tried to control it within a certain share, so as to ensure that it would not attract the attention of the court. Even if she was really caught by the court, it was easy to find excuses to get rid of the crime.

But now that such a large-scale transaction is privately smuggled with the Xiongnu and the survivors of the six countries, once the court finds out, it will be a felony.

At that time, don't say that the two sides are pleasing, they are likely to be implicated and severely punished by the court.

Thinking of the decisive female emperor in Xianyang Palace, she couldn't help a chill down her back.

The Huns envoy sneered and said, "Patriarch Tian, ​​we have brought all our war horses. If you suddenly break the contract now, the news of your secret smuggling may reach Xianyang at any time. At that time, you will face not only Yes, our Shan Yu's anger, and...the Emperor Shi Huang's accountability."

Tian Mihao bit his vermilion lips lightly, feeling annoyed in his heart, he shouldn't have done business with these Huns in the first place, he wanted to gamble, but he didn't expect to feel that he was getting deeper and deeper now.

After pondering for a long time, she sighed: "Forget it, this is the last time, you take those horses to the old place, Qingyan is easy to talk about, but the ironware is strictly controlled by the imperial court, and it may not be easy to transport, I will think The method is divided into batches and sent to you..."

"That's a happy cooperation..."

There was a smile on the face of the Huns envoy. After all, for them who were short of supplies, salt and iron were too important.

.......

......

Xianyang City.

in the palace.

Wang Jian was sitting in front of the desk, his beautiful eyes were staring straight at the rice paper on the table, he was drawing meticulously, a landscape painting was slowly taking shape.

Just when she was about to draw the last stroke, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made the tip of her pen tremble. A long ink mark appeared on a perfect painting, and it was ruined just like that.

Her eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and she clenched her silver teeth and said, "Which thief is it..."

"Hey, it's me, the thief." A hearty young voice came from outside the door.

Wang Jian raised his slender black eyebrows, the voice sounded familiar, it seemed to be Bai Su's voice.
