"What's the Changsun family? I don't seem to have heard of it."

Gu Yue was confused. If this person who came out inexplicably dared to interfere in his affairs, he would have a ghost in his heart. But why are these people so blatant? Are they not afraid of causing trouble?

"The Changsun family is also one of the four major families, and the Queen Mother and the Queen are both from the Changsun family."

"The descendant clan? The foreign relative? I thought the other four major clans were your Tang family."

"Brother Gu is joking. His ancestors are all soldiers and are not keen on family industries. As for his father, he seems to be even less interested..." In fact, Gu Yue's misunderstanding made Tang Mulin feel distressed. His father was not just not interested, he was just a hand-off manager. The expenses of the Tang family army were handled by Tang Mulin alone, and all the subsequent industries started to operate from him. This is why Tang Mulin was so excited at the time and was extremely concerned about Gu Yue's business, because the entire Tang family knew that the material, rice, oil and salt were really expensive...

"So that's the case... But why did this Changsun family suddenly interfere in the prisoner? What you mean just now seems that the person who comes here doesn't care about this?"

"That's right, the person who came was the queen's nephew, the prince's cousin, the third son of the Changsun family, who was the current head of the family, and he brought His Majesty's handwriting."

"Oh? That's interesting. His Majesty suddenly asked him to come. Is anyone behind this using his status to act cheaply? Have the prisoners been handed over to him now?"

"It has been handed over, after all, it was His Majesty's intention..." Tang Mulin had doubts about this matter, but Emperor Chu's handwriting was there, and the loyal Tang Mulin naturally did as he did before thinking about other issues.

"Okay, I know this, it's nothing. Someone has to do this job anyway, but now I can't get out of bed, so I'm so worried Brother Tang to pay attention to it."

"Of course, Brother Gu doesn't have to be polite. Then you cultivate first, so I won't disturb you."

"Well, okay, but I still have to say a belated congratulations. Congratulations to Brother Tang for becoming the youngest Heavenly Master in the new entry into the Great Chu."

Tang Mulin smiled shyly and said goodbye slowly.

But Gu Yue's brows were locked.

"Are you considering the matter of the Changsun family?"

"That's right, it's the first time I heard that I didn't realize that Chu Du still has this force before, so I'm a little negligent. But this time they suddenly jumped out. I'm afraid it's not easy. How much do you know about their family? You can tell anything."

The house became Gu Yue and Shangguan Lien Lu alone again, but it was a very serious discussion.

"It is said that before the late emperor ascended the throne, the Changsun family had acquainted with the current royal family generation. His Majesty's mother was the sister of the Changsun family head, and the current Empress is the sister of the current Changsun family head."

"The relationship between these people in ancient times was really messy!" Gu Yue complained deeply, "Isn't the Empress Dowager's brother's child the cousin of Emperor Chu... It's obvious that he has not been in the third generation!"

However, this kind of thing may not be new anywhere, otherwise how could the king of a country leave criticism? It can be seen that no one cares about this from the bottom of his heart. As long as it is not born by a parent, it will be fine...

"Then have you heard of these relatives doing what they do? For example, what official positions?"

"It's rare to discuss this. The four major families of Chudu actually have division of labor, which is considered a mature agreement. There are few intersections between each other and there will be no conflicts. For example, Uncle Huangfu sets rules that the four young men of his family will not dabble in business. Only in this way can they fully trust our Shangguan family. Similarly, my father also forbids the Shangguan family from becoming officials. In addition, the Dugu family is the largest veteran in the army, but the Huangfu family and the Dugu family have always been in disagreement. The reason for the intensification of the conflict is the Huangfu Jiyi who just appeared. As for the Changsun family, they have always provided food supply to the soldiers of the Great Chu, but they have never heard of anyone in their family in a high position."

After listening to Shangguan Linglu's introduction, Gu Yue had a new understanding of the four major families of Chudu. It has to be said that the founding emperor was indeed a destiny master with ideas, strength, courage and mind. His victory in the past must have the support of these families. If these families were not for the promise of the emperor, they would probably not have the status today.

This fully demonstrates the vision and philosophy of dealing with things, and the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce themselves were allocated almost, which also shows that the heads of the family at that time had a lot of ideas. It was this non-conflict relationship that could be closely integrated and complementary, which ultimately led to the rise of the Chu State.

It’s a pity that the difference between fighting and defending the country is still big. Although the Emperor Chu of the past had the support of various major families, he lacked industrial technology. Whether it was refining medicine, inscriptions, forging or tailoring, there must have been many aspiring people who have been going on one after another over the years, but the results were very little, and it was easy to see that the situation was probably even more difficult.

After years of evolution, the relationship between people is changing all the time. The marriage between the Huangfu family and the Shangguan family will inevitably make the other two families unhappy. The conflict between the Huangfu family and the Dugu family is not just about putting hands into the army. The Changsun family, which has the least sense of existence, has been honestly managing logistics and acting as a good relative of the foreign country for many years. Why did it jump out this time?

Gu Yue came up with many possibilities.

"This time, the Changsun family suddenly jumped out and made a strife. There may be three possible things I can think of. One is that they are related to those killers, or those who hire killers. At present, it seems that the people who hate me the most should be the people who are the 'black market'. Then the Changsun family may have some connection with the 'black market', or the reason why the black market in Chu can operate intact is that it is inseparable from the cooperation of the Changsun family."

Shangguan Linglu was also very serious at this time, and his head was rotating rapidly, because it had been a long time since Gu Yue discussed the situation with him like this last time. Although he knew that this guy was to protect himself and take care of his emotions, Shangguan Linglu wanted the most to advance and retreat with Gu Yue, and analyzing problems was indeed one of her specialties.

"It is indeed possible. All kinds of shameful organizations, including the 'black market', should have close ties or transactions with the powerful and powerful countries. In order to ensure their own operation, no one will have the idea of ​​encircling or seizure. If you can do this in Chu, you should be able to count it with one hand. My father is a businessman. If he is secretly paving the way for the 'black market', it is not a matter of reason. The Dugu family's last incident obviously shows that they and the 'black market' are not cooperative, otherwise they will not have to take so many detours. As for the Huangfu family, at least I know that Uncle Huangfu's ban on his four sons from dabbling in the way of merchants is not a joke. Take... Well, my elder brother-in-law, for example, he has been sold more than once at a high price. "

When it comes to Huangfu Zhongxiao, Shangguan Linglu was still a little hesitant, but Gu Yue's expression did not change at all. She really needed to use that person as an example, so she had to finish it. Fortunately, Gu Yue really didn't mind anymore? Or maybe she didn't mind in front of herself...

"Well, you're right. The four major families have their own strengths and weaknesses. Although there is no empirical evidence to explain the involvement between the Changsun family and the "black market", it is not difficult to exclude the other three, so the Changsun family is the biggest suspicion.

As for another possibility, it is that the Changsun family did not actually do anything secretly. They jumped out today, which was completely his Majesty’s intention.”

"That's right... If His Majesty acquiesced, the 'black market' would not need the support of other families."

"The last possibility is that Your Majesty does have a deal with the 'black market', but it is not acquiescent. The bridge between them is the Changsun family. After all, they are all relatives, so it is easier to trust."

In fact, every analysis of Gu Yue cannot avoid the involvement of Emperor Chu. After all, he issued the handwritten order, so Shangguan Linglan naturally understood this. Whether it was because of the queen's pillow wind or the decision of Emperor Chu himself, this job must be something he wanted to hand over to the Changsun family, let alone with his wisdom, would it be like that kind of swaying with the wind?

"Actually, what you agree with the third one most is right?"

"Indeed, with Your Majesty's shrewdness, it doesn't seem that you can't see the interests here clearly, so the most likely thing is that he already knows it. This time, he used the hand-in-hand to pick up the killers, which is also a statement, to show to Brother Tang and to me."

"Hey... I'm afraid it's impossible to continue investigating. And Your Majesty's attitude should also want to continue to maintain the existence of the 'black market' in Chu State, right? Then won't your business be even more bumpy?"

"I'm not worried about this. You think, what's the purpose of His Majesty's 'black market'?"

Shangguan Linglun had an answer in his heart, "For the sake of interests and for the sake of Da Chu's needs."

"That's right, and the Lord of Order has placed greater interests and safer open methods before His Majesty. With his wisdom, would he not know how to choose?"

Seeing Gu Yue's frowning gradually soothing, and that confident smile appeared again, Shangguan Linglan couldn't help but be happy from the bottom of his heart, especially when he thought about the transaction between his father and His Majesty. Although he had no idea about the process, he asked His Majesty to take 40% of it directly, which was simply bullying. What's more, this plan was only implemented by Gu Yue. In the end, Gu Yue's interests were divided up. If it were not for his father and His Majesty, Shangguan Linglan would definitely fight for the right thing...

"From then on, he guessed that his Majesty might have something to do with the 'black market'? So all the concessions are to really drive the 'black market' out?"
