"How dare you ask what you call me?" Xiao Xian asked politely when he saw the visitor.

"My name is Zhang Quancai, who is ordered by the Grand Governor, came to the head of the Xiao family about the attack on the Li family's villa."

Zhang Quancai is right, he was the former client of Taiyuan Fucheng South Inn. He joined Hongmudan two years ago and is now the person in charge of Yifang.

He used to be a shop waiter who was eloquent, but now he no longer needs to flatter others. Although he is young, he gives people a calm feeling.

"This matter is a misunderstanding." Xiao Xian said directly.

"We have already obtained the evidence. You see, this is the identity brand left by the assassin. We have found out that the brand comes from a shop of the Xiao family." Zhang Quancai said.

Zhang Quancai spoke more rigorously. The sign came from the Xiao family’s shop, but it did not mean that he was from your Xiao family. Li De also doubted whether this person really came from the Xiao family.

Xiao Xian looked at the sign. He naturally knew the sign of his own shop, and there was no reason to argue. So he said to the butler around him: "To check this person's identity, it must be investigated clearly if it concerns the reputation of the Xiao family."

"Yes." The butler took the sign and left immediately.

Not long after, the housekeeper hurriedly trotted back and whispered a few times in Xiao Xian's ear, and then he saw that Xiao Xian's face was not very good.

"We have checked that person has indeed worked as a mate in the Xiao family shop. He was dismissed a month ago. He just sent someone to his house to investigate the neighbors and said that this person had stopped living here a month ago. After asking carefully, he was not a local person. He said he had come to join a relative. When he found the original owner, he realized that the house was borrowed temporarily by the man with money. To outsiders, he said it was a relative relationship. It was a disaster."

"The Chief General of the Xiao family sent me to explain the situation. If the Xiao family can provide favorable evidence, wouldn't the misunderstanding be solved naturally? But if someone wants to love more, it is not a wise move."

Zhang Quancai's words are very threatening. The Youzhou forces do not have such strength now. If they change their attitude, they may really lose their prestige.

"I believe that the Grand Governor is wise, otherwise he would not have made such a frank explanation. Our Xiao family is responsible for collecting evidence to prove his innocence in order to resolve misunderstandings. Do you think this is good?" Xiao Xian said.

Zhang Quancai came to clarify the situation, not to make things difficult for the Xiao family. The head of the Xiao family's attitude was already very considerate. This matter was basically half completed here.

"Head of the Xiao family, if it was a misunderstanding of the Grand Governor, could he speak alone?" Zhang Quancai said.

Xiao Xian looked at the butler around him nodded, and the butler immediately left the room.

"Can you tell me what the Grand Governor means now?" Xiao Xian is a smart man. Since he was here to negotiate and did not use the power of Youzhou to oppress the Xiao family, he would give face to him.

He also wanted to know what the Governor wanted to say to him.

"The Grand Commander means that since this matter is a misunderstanding, it is better to just use the trick. I don't know if the head of the Xiao family is willing to act in this play." Zhang Quancai said.

Xiao Xian hesitated for a moment, nominally got into trouble with Li De and asked the people hiding in the dark to stand up, but it was not difficult to use the trick. Once he cooperated with Youzhou, the Xiao family might not be able to become enemies in the future.

He thought of their plans, and in addition, the purpose of Xiao family and Zhang family to take over the economic market. Cement is not just to prevent the Li family from doing these things. It seems that the impact will be bad after the cooperation is done.

The Xiao family also needs financial support. On the one hand, it faces the oppression of Youzhou forces as enemies early, which is not a good thing.

On the other hand, we need to negotiate with our partners. If there is a mistake in the middle, the Xiao family will lose their partners. These things will be in front of him. How to choose is really a difficult problem.

"Okay, since the Grand Governor said so, my Xiao family will definitely cooperate."

Xiao Xian finally made a decision. Compared to the Zhang family, he was more inclined to cooperate with Youzhou. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were not decorations. If he offended the Zhang family for this, his worst plan for the Xiao family was to directly follow Li De.

No one can do anything to him at that time, and the plan can still continue, but it is just a different way.

"Since that's the case, then what's next..."

Zhang Quancai told the plan that had been prepared long ago, and Xiao Xian listened to the plan and had to prepare something next.

Half a month later, it was rumored that the Xiao family had a conflict with the Youzhou forces because of business matters. The Youzhou side needed the Xiao family to compensate for the cement matters, and the compensation amount reached 500,000 jin.

The news soon spread, even though the restaurant business became lively in winter, and several restaurants in Jiangling launched hot pot sets.

They spend a fixed amount of money to buy hot pot set meals. The situation is similar to the previous hot pot express delivery in Changan, but the hot pot launched by the restaurant this time was exactly what they had joined.

You can have a rich meal with money for a long time. Many people have never seen a rich variety of ingredients. There is a hot pot main store in Jiangling, and other hot pot stores are franchisees.

The winter in Jiangling has become a habit of eating hot pot. When the restaurant becomes lively, there will be more news. The news that is heard and true are all heard from people.

"Do you know that the Xiao family wants to compensate Youzhou for 500,000 yuan?" asked the person who was good at it.

"I may never see so much money in my ten lives. Will the Xiao family really pay?" Many people's hearts fell to the point where the Xiao family had money, but even the emperor might not be able to take out so much money at once.

"What are you thinking? That's 500,000 guan, not 50,000 guan. How could the Xiao family take it out? I heard that the head of the Xiao family is sick about this matter now. I also heard that if the money was not exchanged for Youzhou before the beginning of spring, it might be a soldier."

"Ah, then we will suffer with it. Haven't the soldiers and horses of Youzhou always cared for the people? How could they do this?"

"You are right, the premise is that the people of Youzhou, are you?"

"Now the Xiao family may have to pay off all the property. I don't know if I'm exiling the Xiao family to join the army, I don't dare to think about it."

"Don't they have such power?" someone questioned.

"Why didn't it? Don't you know? Youzhou has long stopped obeying the imperial orders."

"Don't talk nonsense, do you know why? That's because the court has no ability to take Youzhou. The vanguard soldiers resisted the Turks outside the Sui State. Then they obtained the sixteen prefectures of Youji. Moreover, the court did not provide them with food, grass and military salaries. If you were to follow the dispatch?"

"What you said makes sense."

"Shh, don't talk about state affairs. Now your Majesty is caught in Jiangling and your life will be gone."
