"Master, you have to make the decision for me!"

As a woman's voice rang out, the study room was pushed away, and a charming young woman came in, followed by a maid.

"Why are you here!"

Xu Tong in the study frowned when he saw the woman who suddenly broke in.

"I have seen the master." The young woman went to Xu Tong with great blessings.

Zhang Wenhe bowed to the young woman and said respectfully: "I have met the third wife."

"Hmph!" The cold eyes in the third lady swept across Zhang Wenhe's face, and a cold snorted out of her mouth.

Seeing this scene, Xu Tong frowned even deeper and said dissatisfiedly: "Who asked you to break in? I didn't see Mr. Zhang talking about things. I took your maid back to the backyard."

"Master." The third lady said in a crying voice, "You have to make the decision for me. My cousin took over Xu Ji for you. Now that something happened to me, you can't ignore it!"

"Who told you that something happened to your cousin?" Xu Tong's eyebrows were crowded together.

The third lady cried and said, "Master, you can't cheat me. Now everyone in the mansion knows that Xu Ji's convoy was outside the bandits, and my cousin was in the bandits' convoy."

Xu Tong turned around and looked at Zhang Wenhe coldly.

Zhang Wenhe spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, and at the same time, he shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know how the other party knew.

"Master, you always make the decision for me!" The third lady covered her face with her cuffs and sobbed in a low voice.

Xu Tong pulled one of the third wife's hand, patted the back of her hand, and advised: "Okay, don't cry anymore. I have arranged for someone to investigate this matter. You go back to the house first, and I have something to discuss with Mr. Zhang."

"Yes, I will leave first." The third lady bowed to Xu Tong and took the maid beside her to leave the study.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the yard where the study room was, the maid beside the third lady whispered: "Madam, can you just forget about your uncle's affairs? There are rumors outside that your uncle was killed by bandits from our Datong, and he said it with a nose and eyes."

The third lady walked in the corridor leading to the backyard with a cold face and said, "Of course, I can't just forget about this, and my cousin can't die in vain."

"Why didn't you tell the master just now that you asked the master to send troops to suppress the bandits? The master is the governor of Datong. It's not a matter of one word to destroy a group of Datong's bandits." The maid said in a low voice.

The third lady suddenly stopped and the maid next to her hurriedly stopped and took steps.

Then the third lady said, "Our master treats wealth as his life. Xu Ji was robbed of thousands of taels of silver at once. How could our master bear this tone? Let's wait and see. It won't take long before our master will send troops to suppress the bandits."

The maid said in surprise: "Madam, you know that the master will send troops to suppress bandits. Why do we have to come to the study to see the master? Just now, I saw that the master looked bad, and seemed a little dissatisfied with you suddenly coming to the study."

"Hmph, if you don't go to search at this time, it will be useless to search after the show." The third lady snorted coldly.

"I don't understand." The maid shook her head blankly.

"It doesn't matter whether you understand clearly or not. As long as our master understands what he owes me." The third lady said in the direction of the study, then said, "Have you sent my eldest brother's letter?"

The maid nodded and said, "I have asked the pillars of the outer courtyard to deliver the letter. My uncle will soon receive your letter from you, Mrs.."

"Well, it's good that the letter is sent." The third lady nodded, raised her right hand gently, and said, "Come on, help me back to the room to rest."

The maid next to him carefully held the third lady's forearm and helped her walk towards the backyard.

In the study, Xu Tong's face was gloomy and terrible.

Zhang Wenhe, who was bent down and said, "Super your anger, the students didn't expect the matter to spread so quickly. Even the third wife knew something happened to the convoy sent by Xu Ji to the grassland."

"Isn't that person named Li Liu locked up by you? How could anyone know that something happened to the convoy we sent to the grassland?" Xu Tong had a gloomy face.

Zhang Wenhe thought for a while and said, "There may be news that the bandits deliberately spread."

"Go and check." Xu Tong said in a cold voice, "Xu Ji went to the grassland to do a deal with the Beilu, and must not involve my official."

"Yes, the students understand that this matter is all Xu Ji's own actions and has nothing to do with adults." Zhang Wenhe bowed.

Xu Tong sat back on his seat, picked up the cover bowl and took a sip of tea, and said, "Let the person named Li Liu find a place to deal with it."

"Yes, students will do it when they go back." Zhang Wenhe agreed.

At this time, Xu Tong's long follower walked in outside, came to Xu Tong in a few steps, and said respectfully: "Master, the Fan family has sent someone."

Zhang Wenhe, who was next to him, said, "At this time the Fan family sent people here, did they also get the news that they knew that Xu Ji's convoy had been bandits on the grassland."

"Do you think I will meet or not?" Xu Tong asked Zhang Wenhe.

"Sir, let's meet!" Zhang Wenhe said, "The Fan family and the adults are in agreement with the tiger flag."

"Okay, I will meet you." Xu Tong put down the bowl in his hand and said to Changsui: "Take the person to the study."

Chang Sui bowed and turned around and retreated.

"Sir." Zhang Wenhe said: "Xu Ji smuggled the grasslands is Fan Ji's line. Taiji, who originally traded with Xu Ji, was also introduced through the Fan family. Now Xu Ji's convoy has been bandits on the grasslands, and the Fan family has not arranged it thoroughly. This time, the Fan family should also compensate part of Xu Ji's losses."

As the most trusted aide around Xu Tong, he also has a share in Xu Ji. This loss caused him to suffer as well, so he naturally hopes that someone else can share it.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Xu Tong nodded in agreement, and then said, "I will meet the Fan family in a while. If you ask him about this, the Fan family is a big business in Xuanfu. I have been well-known in Taiyuan, and they are not short of this little money."

In his eyes, the Fan family is just a businessman engaged in lowly business. If he asks Fan Ji to compensate Xu Ji for the losses this time, the Fan family dare not refuse to obey.

Not only him, but the entire Ming Dynasty.

Although merchants can make money, in the eyes of scholars and officials, they are just some people who are in low-key karma.

It didn't take long, but Fan Yongcheng, who was taking Fan family, walked in from outside.

As soon as he entered the study, Fan Yongcheng walked forward two steps, bowed and said respectfully: "Student, I have met the governor and Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Wenhe nodded slightly at Fan Yongcheng.

Xu Tong picked up the cover bowl, put it beside his mouth and blew it, and sipped it gently.

Zhang Wenhe next to him spoke, "Mr. Fan came to see my master this time, but for the matter on the grassland?"

"I'm not hiding it from Mr. Zhang." Fan Yongcheng said, "The students did come for this."

Zhang Wenhe said: "It seems that Mr. Fan is very well-informed. He knows so quickly that Xu Ji was attacked by bandits on the grassland."

"Ah!" Fan Yongcheng was stunned and immediately said, "Has Xu Ji been bandits on the grassland?"

"Mr. Fan doesn't know?" Zhang Wenyi frowned.

Xu Tong, who was sitting in the seat, put down the cover bowl in his hand and looked at Fan Yongcheng standing opposite him.
