When Qin Xiao came to the living room of Zuo Qing's office, Lin Hong was waiting patiently. When he heard the footsteps, Lin Hong immediately stood up and saluted Qin Xiao respectfully.

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I've kept you waiting for a long time. You can ask someone to wake me up directly. It's hard to wait here for a long time."

"My lord, you have been working very hard recently, so it is not easy for you to take a short nap." Lin Hong said respectfully, "My lord, it is not an urgent matter. You can wait."

Qin Xiao thought that he had worked hard, but only on the snow-white belly of Princess Sheyue, and said enthusiastically: "Sit down and talk, and don't see anyone else." After sitting down, Lin Hong cupped his hands and said: "Sir, all the money has been handed over to me.

From the treasury, all the debts were transferred to him, and three million taels of silver were worth every penny. In addition, Hu Lian sent some antique calligraphy and paintings, and in accordance with the Lord's instructions, he stuffed 50,000 taels of silver."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work." Knowing that Lin Hong has been working hard these days, he did this just to protect his family, so he said softly: "I just want to find you too. The saint's attitude towards the Jiangnan family, I

It’s almost clear now.”

Lin Hong immediately sat upright.

"Don't worry, the court will definitely not make things difficult for the Lin family anymore." Qin Xiao lowered his voice and said, "There are two voices in the court regarding the punishment of the Jiangnan family. Some people think that the Jiangnan family has been entrenched in Jiangnan for many years and has escaped disaster this time.

It is very likely that they will come back again. Their intention is to drive out all the Jiangnan families and support a new group of families. Naturally, the newly supported families will follow the imperial court's lead and be better restrained and managed."

Lin Hong nodded, not surprised, and said softly: "What An Xinghou did in Hangzhou was for this purpose."

"This voice is led by the Xiahou family, so naturally there are many people who support it, accounting for the majority in the court." Qin Xiao said: "The other voice is to retain the current aristocratic families and not to kill them all, so that they can continue to maintain the trade in Jiangnan.

It is stable, but it cannot allow the emergence of a wealthy family like before."

Lin Hong asked: "What does the saint mean?"

"The saint was still hesitant." Qin Xiao said: "But I will explain the situation in Jiangnan in detail. Although I also think that there must be some fish that have slipped through the net among the Jiangnan aristocratic families, it is no longer important. Jiangnan needs stability, and Datang

We also need stability, and once we really attack the Jiangnan family, there will be a river of blood, which is not what I want to see."

Lin Hong said gratefully: "I believe that the Jiangnan family will remember your kindness."

"Lin Hong, this time we send three hundred taels of silver into the inner treasury, it is definitely just the beginning." Qin Xiao said seriously: "Although the saint does not want to see the Jiangnan family suffer disaster, he also does not want to see them attack the imperial court.

Threat, do you understand what I mean?"

"Young man understands." Lin Hong is a smart man and knows the meaning. He nodded and said: "Jiangnan will make offerings to the inner treasury every year from now on, and there will never be a wealthy family that is as rich as the country."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I'm very happy that you can think so." After a pause, he asked: "Baofenglong connects the world. Is there a semicolon in Liaodong as well?"

"Yes!" Lin Hong nodded.

Qin Xiaodao: "You should also know the news about the Bohai delegation coming to Beijing. The Lin family's business is spread all over the world. How much do you know about the Bohai country?"

"What do you need to know, sir?"

"Yuan Gai Wushuang!" Qin Xiao looked at Lin Hong and said, "How much do you know about this person?"

Lin Hong shook his head and said: "I know very little."

Qin Xiao was startled, and Lin Hong explained: "The Yuangai family has great power in Bohai. Bohai Moli Zhiyuan Gaijian's reputation is naturally known all over the world. He has five sons. The eldest son and third son are very famous, and the fourth son is very famous.

Mediocre, as for the second son and the youngest son, there is very little information about them. Yuan Gai Wushuang is the youngest son of Yuan Gaijian, but before this, the villain has never even heard of his name."

"So not many people know about his martial arts skills and inheritance?"

"Yes." Lin Hong nodded and said: "Bohai Country has had very frequent trade with the Tang Dynasty in recent years. The Lin family also has business contacts with the Bohai people, and they know more or less about their domestic affairs. However, Yuan Gai Wushuang is indeed very mysterious.

, this time Yuan Gaijian sent him as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, the villain was also very surprised."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, thinking that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. However, he didn't know anything about Yuan Gai Wushuang's martial arts at the moment. If he wanted to compete on the stage, he must first understand the opponent's situation.

"If you want to know more about him, I can arrange for someone to go to Bohai to inquire." Lin Hong said in a low voice: "You might be able to learn a little bit about him by paying some money to bribe some officials in Bohai."

Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "It's too late. Yuan Gai Wushuang will set up a ring in front of the Sifang Pavilion tomorrow to fight against the young hero of the Tang Dynasty. This man killed thirty-six lives of me in the Tang Dynasty indiscriminately. I thought it was impossible, so I went on stage to teach him a lesson.

, so I want to understand his martial arts skills first."

Lin Hong was a little surprised, but Qin Xiao did not hide it and informed Lin Hong of the details. After all, this matter was known to all the officials in court today, so it was not a secret that could not be told.

Lin Hong's face became solemn, he hesitated and stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." Qin Xiao knew that Lin Hong was flexible in thinking and experienced in acting. Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, he said softly: "No one dares to come near without my instructions. Don't worry about anyone hearing."

"Sir, there is something fishy about this matter."

"oh?"

"There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Even if Yuan Gai Wushuang has great supernatural powers, is he too confident to face the heroes of the world?" Lin Hong said slowly: "As we all know, in our Tang Dynasty, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. He represents the Bohai Sea. If he is in the ring,

If he loses, Bohai Country will lose all face. Why does he think he can last for three days?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "You have the same idea as me, and I have always been curious about this."

"Yuan Gai Wushuang is the son of Yuan Gai Jian, the Crown Prince of Bohai. Even if someone comes on the stage to compete, do you think anyone would dare to seriously injure or even kill Yuan Gai Wushuang?" Lin Hong's eyes became sharp: "Once Yuan Gai Wushuang dies in the ring,

The relationship between the two countries will be severely damaged, and Yuan Gaijian will also demand the murderer from the Tang Dynasty. Since the saint breaks the precedent and intends to marry the princess and go to Bohai, it has shown that the saint is wary of Bohai, and it will inevitably happen when the time comes.

Under pressure, the murderer of Yuan Gai Wushuang was handed over to the Bohai people."

Qin Xiao knew that what Lin Hong said hit the nail on the head and nodded slightly.

"So in the ring, no one really dares to go all out." Lin Hong said calmly: "In a martial arts competition, once you have scruples in your heart, it will definitely be difficult to fully display it. But Yuan Gai Wushuang's situation is completely different. Even if he really

He beat someone to death in the ring, would the saint still let him pay for it with his life?"

Qin Xiao sneered in his heart, thinking to himself that if the saint really wanted Yuan Gai Wushuang to pay with his life, the thirty-six lives he had taken before would be enough to kill Yuan Gai Wushuang thirty-six times.

"I dare to ask again, is it the Prime Minister who agrees with the people of Bohai to put themselves on the stage in the court?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "It was Yuan Gai Wushuang who proposed setting up the arena, but the saint did not agree immediately. However, the Prime Minister came out at this time and advised the saint to agree to Yuan Gai Wushuang's conditions. He is the chief minister of the dynasty, and

In front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, even if the saint disapproves in his heart, he should not be embarrassed by doing something like this."

"That's right." Lin Hong lowered his voice and said, "So before the prime minister made the suggestion, he must have known that the saint would definitely agree."

Qin Xiao's alarm clock also recalled the scene in court, and heard Lin Hong continue: "Sir, between you, does the Prime Minister want Yuan Gai Wushuang to win or lose?"

Qin Xiao was startled and quickly realized something. He frowned and said, "If Yuan Gai Wushuang wins, Princess Sheyue will marry far away from Bohai. Do you mean...?"

"I shouldn't talk too much," Lin Hong said in a low voice, "But my lord has been a life-saving grace to my Lin family, so there are some things I must say. My lord, I promise you a lot of money, let alone a saint in front of all the civil and military officials of the court.

They made a bet with the people of Bohai. Once Yuan Gai Wushuang wins, Princess Sheyue will definitely marry far away from Bohai. And the biggest enemy of the Prime Minister in the court is Her Highness the Princess. Once the Princess leaves, the officials under the Princess will immediately

Then it will fall apart, and the Xiahou family will take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents."

Qin Xiao was shocked. When Lin Hong said this, he suddenly woke up.

"The Prime Minister is full of confidence when he advises and agrees to the Bohai people's challenge. It is for this reason that the saint will agree." Qin Xiao thoughtfully said softly: "If the Prime Minister cannot let people defeat Yuan Gai Wushuang by then,

How to explain to the saint?"

Lin Hong shook his head and said: "My lord, the Prime Minister is indeed the saint's minister, but he is still the saint's brother after all. Once the princess leaves, the Prime Minister will be the only one in power, and the saint must rely on the Xiahou family to stabilize the situation. Even if he blames the blame, can it still be done?

Will the Prime Minister be dismissed from office?" After a pause, he asked softly: "My lord just said that you are also going to take the ring?"

Qin Xiao nodded, and Lin Hong smiled calmly and asked: "So, sir, do you think the Prime Minister guessed that you would compete in the ring?"

Qin Xiao's heart trembled.

"Your Excellency is heroic and courageous. For the sake of those thirty lives, I hate Yuan Gai Wushuang deeply." Lin Hong said solemnly: "In addition, Your Excellency and the Princess shared the same hardships in Jiangnan. In the eyes of the Prime Minister and his party members, Your Excellency has taken refuge in the Princess, and is the Princess's first wife."

Once the party and Yuan Gai Wushuang win, the princess will marry far away from Bohai. With your temperament, it is of course impossible for you to watch Yuan Gai Wushuang win, so sooner or later you will take the stage. The villain thinks that the Prime Minister is very cunning, so he may not be clear about this."

"You mean he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone?" Qin Xiao understood.

Lin Hongdao: "Forgive me for talking nonsense, but Yuan Gai Wushuang has a lot of secrets. If you are defeated by Yuan Gai Wushuang in the ring, will he take the opportunity to kill you?" His expression became cold,

He whispered: "Your Excellency, please don't forget that An Xinghou died in Hangzhou. Your Excellency was at the scene at the time. Although after investigation, it was found that you had nothing to do with An Xinghou's assassination, the Prime Minister must regard you as an enemy. Your Excellency, I am sorry."

Since the saint is so respected, is it not possible for the Prime Minister to attack you openly and use Yuan Gai Wushuang's hand to kill you? When Yuan Gai Wushuang wins, kills you, and marries the princess, then for the Prime Minister, then
