Chapter 188 The crisis is coming again (please praise, give some motivation!)(1/2)
The Xia family now monopolizes nearly ten industries such as Yunhaicheng's medicinal materials shops, leather shops, smelting workshops, dyeing cloth workshops, carving workshops, etc.
These are things that he didn't even dare to think about in his dreams in the past, but now they really happen to him.
Yunhai City is originally a major trade center in the entire Xuangu Continent and the most economically developed city-state. Now that the Xia family can dominate the world, it can be overestimated by the entire Xuangu Continent!
He looked at Qi Tian who couldn't wake up and thought to himself that his son-in-law was sent by God to save the Xia family and lead the Xia family to the peak.
"Second aunt, Xiao Xiaobing is looking for you." A Fu quickly walked behind Qi Tian and said.
Qi Tian raised his head in a daze, said "Oh" and turned to look at Xia Xinyue, "Madam, Xiao Xiaobing is looking for me, I'll go and take a look."
Xia Xinyue nodded. She was very satisfied with Qi Tian's behavior of reporting everything.
In front of Xia Mansion.
"Brother, you're so impatient for me!" Xiao Xiaobing said impatiently as soon as he saw Qi Tian.
Qi Tian was surprised, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
Xiao Xiaobing hurriedly took a few steps and whispered: "Lord Wang and Ma Chengwei left early this morning."
Qi Tian was stunned. Recently, he was only busy with Xia Xinyue and his unborn child, and almost forgot about transferring Wang Shouren and Ma Chengwei from Yunhai City.
But he turned to a little puzzled, "They left without even calling him a greeting?"
Xiao Xiaobing nodded, "It is said that the Lion Empire has sent troops from the north and has now started fighting with the border.
The Imperial Capital City sent a carriage last night, and took Lord Wang and Ma Chengwei away early this morning."
Qi Tian's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank. It seemed that the war was much more serious than he thought. Otherwise, the court would not even give time to clean up the fines and directly take the people away.
After these few months, he forgot about the war and thought that the court had agreed to what conditions had been settled.
He raised his head and sighed, "I hope the war will not burn our Yunhai City."
"Brother, the war will indeed not burn us for a while, but there is something now that is more severe than the war!
The new city lord and city lieutenant of Yunhai City have also arrived." Xiao Xiaobing's tone was a little heavy.
Qi Tian nodded, "Oh, normal, after all, Yunhai City cannot be without a master."
Seeing that Qi Tian had not realized the seriousness of the problem, Xiao Xiaobing stomped his feet in a hurry, "Aren't you curious about who the new city lord and the city lieutenant are?"
Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, "Who is it?"
"The city lord is the deacon of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Huang Wu, and the city lord is the general of the Taiwei Mansion, Xie Jingxuan.
It is said that these two people are flattering and have no real talent or knowledge.
Huang Wu is said to have spent 10,000 gold coins to get the position of deacon of the Prime Minister's Office.
Xie Jingxuan's father was Lieutenant Xie Jin. He relied on nepotism to become a general in the Taiwei Mansion.
Something else is…”
Speaking of this, Xiao Xiaobing looked a little hesitant, and he seemed to not know what to say.
"What else can I say, are we brothers and brothers still nothing else to say?"
Xiao Xiaobing thought for a moment, "These two are all from His Highness the Crown Prince!"
With a "puff" sound, Qi Tian laughed, "What does it have to do with me if they are His Highness the Crown Prince?"
The prince is in the imperial capital and I am not close to each other."
Xiao Xiaobing was stunned and looked at Qi Tian in disbelief, as if he was looking at an alien.
"What, what I said is wrong? Could it be that the prince, who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, still has any concern for me, a grass man?" Qi Tian smiled indifferently.
Xiao Xiaobing nodded, "Don't you know that your father, Lord Qi, has publicly stood on the side of the eldest princess?"
Qi Tian was stunned and then he remembered that he had a father in this life, and he was a high-ranking official in the court, one of the three dukes.
Damn it!
Damn!
I didn’t see you when I was killed, but your court battles have counted me!
Qi Tian is so smart that he knows what happened with a little thought!
At present, the eldest princess and the prince have completely broken their faces, and their father is on the side of the eldest princess again.
Now that the prince’s people come to Yunhai City to be the city lord and the city lieutenant, what other good fruit can he have in the future?
Dad, you took the notice of expelling yourself from the house as real, but did others take it seriously?
Anyone would have thought that the father and son were bound to be robbed blood, and maybe you sent me to Yunhai City on purpose!
Qi Tian's brows frowned. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with businessmen, and businessmen do not fight with officials. The two high-ranking officials who take over Yunhai City are their father's mortal enemies.
Now even if they are at home honestly, they will take the initiative to come to trouble the Xia family and themselves.
After all, the Xia family is like a fat wild boar at this time. Anyone who wants to eat meat will be the first to think of the Xia family.
What's more, my father's boss is still a big princess. Those people don't want to kill the fat pig in the Xia family, and they want to kill themselves and then go to the prince to show their merits.
A huge sense of crisis emerged in Qi Tian's heart.
Qi Tian's face became extremely cold, and his eyes even emitted a terrifying cold light.
Xiao Xiaobing stood aside and was startled.
In the past, Qi Tian always looked like he was smiling and not caring about anything.
Now this cold look really makes people feel cold in their hearts and inexplicably feel a sense of fear.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Xiao Xiaobing said.
"What?" Qi Tian looked at Xiao Xiaobing.
"After Huang Wu came to the city lord's mansion in the morning, he immediately asked the yamen to investigate the massacre of the Li family, and all the yamen servants were released.
He even put down his words. If the yamen cannot be found, Xie Chengwei will send the city guards to hunt down the servants and maids who destroyed the Li family. He must arrest all the criminals!" Xiao Xiaobing continued..
Qi Tian's eyes gradually narrowed and thought to himself, it seemed that Huang Wu had a close relationship with the Li family, but Li Jiaomei had never mentioned before that the Li family had any other relationship in the capital.
Now, with Li Jiaomei's relationship with her, she would never deliberately hide it.
Unless she doesn't know that there is someone like Huang Wu.
"Brother, do your best." Qi Tian said.
"Brother, please tell me that I will go through fire and water, and I will never refuse." Xiao Xiaobing also knew the seriousness of the problem.
"During this time, be sure to help me keep an eye on Huang Wu and Xie Jingxuan. If there is any disturbance between them, you must tell me as soon as possible.
Now that the Xia family is in full swing, I am the child of the eldest princess, they will definitely attack the Xia family and me.
If I guess correctly, it should be the case in the past few days." Qi Tian's tone was very serious.
Huang Wu is obviously a speculative person. He spent 10,000 gold coins to get the position of deacon of the Prime Minister's Office, which shows that this person is not real and knowledgeable, and is also very stupid.
And Xie Jingxuan is a child of an official. He went to the Taiwei Mansion to become a general at a young age. He must be a second-generation official who is above his brilliance and arrogant.
He may be able to restrain himself in the Imperial Capital City, but now he has come to Yunhai City, where he is the largest official in addition to Huang Wu, and he will definitely become unscrupulous.
Xiao Xiaobing nodded, "Brother, don't worry, as long as there is any disturbance between them, I will definitely tell my brother the first time that I have told the patrolling city guards these days that they will come to the surrounding area of Xia Mansion more often."
Qi Tian nodded, then looked around and whispered: "Brother, go quickly, just send someone here in the future. Try to meet as little as possible during this period, and don't let them know the relationship between us."
Xiao Xiaobing slapped his thigh and immediately understood the meaning, "Brother is reckless. After receiving this news, the brother was afraid that the elder brother would suffer a loss, so he rushed over immediately. Brother said goodbye."
Qi Tian nodded and watched Xiao Xiaobing leave.
Instead of entering the mansion immediately, he paced back and forth in front of the mansion.
Now that these two people come to Yunhai City, it is extremely unfavorable for him and the Xia family!
Qi Tian wished he would post another notice to sever his relationship with his father, which would once again show the world that he had no relationship with the Qi family, but... can the people on the prince believe it?
He thought for a moment and decided not to tell Xia Xinyue and Xia Zhengxin about this matter.
After all, Xia Xinyue has been pregnant for several months and her belly is getting bigger. If she gets angry due to anxiety, she will hurt her eldest son.
Not to mention Xia Zhengxin, at the age of age, don’t scare you into a heart attack.
"Why is the young master coming out?" Liu'er quickly walked to Qi Tian's side.
Since Qi Tian came out of prison, Liu'er has returned to Qi Tian's side.
"Liu'er, you go to the escort agency now and ask Uncle Jiu and Long Wu to come. I have something to say." Qi Tian said.
"Okay, Liu'er will go now." Liu'er turned around and walked towards the escort agency.
Qi Tian sighed and turned around and walked towards the living room.
"Brother-in-law."
Xia Ping'an walked towards the mansion at this time.
Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to do?"
“I want to go on a stroll on the street.”
