In the commander''s office.


    Li Mengyao is examining and approving the file before the case. During office hours, he doesn''t need to be polite. Xiang rilong gently knocks on the door, then strides in and presents a file with both hands.


    "What? Can''t you handle it?" Li Mengyao raised her head and Dai Mei frowned.


    She still has a lot of files left by her absence during this period that have not been approved.


    Seeing Li Mengyao running around recently, the snow-white lying silkworm almost has black circles under his eyes, Xiang rilong said painfully: "adults, what subordinates can do must share their worries for adults, but subordinates don''t dare to make decisions without authorization."


    "What can''t you be the second leader of the Gongwei department? Look at you. If you have any problems you don''t understand when dealing with work in Dunhuang in the future, you can''t talk about them with no money. You don''t know how to turn. If you offend people over there, I can''t save the near fire."


    Li Mengyao sipped her dry mouth, took a sip of the cold tea in one hand, opened the file in the other hand and examined it carefully.


    "Although my Lord is cruel to me at ordinary times, I still care about my subordinates very much. All my subordinates know it." Xiang rilong said, "my subordinates don''t need adults to worry. This file was sent by the second prince."


    "Second prince?" Li Mengyao''s tired eyes suddenly widened.


    "Yes. Some time ago, when we visited the second prince to give gifts and greetings, he wanted to leave us to participate in the ''tea merchant Festival'' held in Kanto, but you refused. This time he asked again, and his subordinates dare not promise rashly."


    Li Mengyao glanced quickly and threw the file aside: "No. He has recruited so many Jianghu experts openly and secretly. He still needs to ask the Gongwei department to send someone to protect the tea merchant Festival? It''s like taking off his pants and farting. It''s unnecessary!"


    "My Lord, he invited us with an invitation. We won''t go. It''s just a wound. But if we ask for official business, we won''t send anyone. I''m afraid it''s inappropriate. We can''t explain why we should attend a book in front of the emperor."


    Xiang rilong took out another invitation, which was sent by the second prince. He invited Gongwei to participate in the "tea merchant Festival" as a guest.


    "I don''t send anyone to join me. I don''t have any good words with that guy. I just don''t give it. How can I drop it?" Li Mengyao knocked on the table and motioned to the sun and dragon to talk. "Tea merchant Festival is the biggest festival of tea culture in the Central Plains. Its success is a great achievement. There''s no need to give us a hard share. Do you know why he pulled us into the water three times and four times?"


    Xiangrilong came forward, and his two meter tall body fell down, looking a little stiff. He smelled Li Mengyao''s orchid at a close distance and blushed and asked, "my subordinates don''t understand!"


    "NIMA, keep your voice down! I asked you to come over here. You meow so loudly. It''s still useful for eggs!" Li Mengyao was almost angry. These wooden heads are so tired to talk. It''s much more interesting to talk with eyebrows. "What I''m saying now, don''t talk to others. Be careful to lose your head. There has been some rumors in the Imperial Palace recently. According to the emperor, it seems that a crown prince will be established in recent days."


    "What does that have to do with us?"


    Li Mengyao turned her eyes, picked up the brick and knocked it. The brick broke in two. Xiang rilong didn''t do anything at all.


    Even if you''re blunt, your head is still hard. This man can''t be saved!


    "The second prince wants to win over us, let Gongwei become his emperor feather force and put pressure on the emperor, okay? Look at his efforts, it''s clear that he wants to compete for the crown prince."


    "Since ancient times, children have been in order. Shouldn''t the crown prince be the great prince? How can he compete?"


    "We ministers are not allowed to speculate. The emperor''s mind is unpredictable. There are only these two princes under his knee, but they all drive out of the imperial city''s canonized territory. It is clear that he wants to test the ability of the two princes and choose to stand clearly. The emperor has always favored the second prince, and the territory given to the second prince is also a fertile land in the east of the river, so it''s hard to say everything."


    "I see..."


    "Gong Weisi is a very important force of the imperial court. If they are partial, it will certainly help them compete for the crown prince. But we Gong Weisi are only loyal to the imperial court and the emperor. We can''t participate in the crown prince struggle. If it''s not necessary, we won''t get involved in their affairs at all. Please write back to me and say that we are busy at the end of the year and no one! There are no guests! "


    "Subordinate, take orders!"


    Li Mengyao looked at the invitations on the table and sighed helplessly. It seemed that the two princes had great ambition. But that guy is savage, extreme and capricious. He hasn''t made progress for so many years. I hope he doesn''t make any mess and embarrass people.


    Li Mengyao couldn''t help worrying about the emperor. The dispute over the crown prince was the most troublesome problem for the royal family in any age. The emperor should be annoyed half to death.


    ……


    Jiang Chen asked according to the standard of eyebrow and smile. Naturally, there was no result at all at the end of the day, and nothing was done near dusk.


    When they walked into the yard, Jiang Chen noticed something was wrong. He smiled at Mei Qian and shouted that we shouldn''t pick things up. As long as we can reduce the pressure for Gong Wei, we should do all the dirty work.


    When they turned into the yard, a figure behind them hurriedly accelerated and stopped them before the wooden door of the yard was closed.


    "No one is allowed to enter the four inner courtyards in the southeast and northwest of Gongwei. How do you come in? Follow us all the time. What''s the purpose?" Jiang Chen turned sideways, took a big step with his feet, and immediately blocked the man''s escape route, forming a double attack with Mei qianxiao.


    Early in the morning, Jiang Chen found that there was an idle man wandering behind him. However, he thought that a relative of a colleague came to visit his relatives, so he turned a blind eye and ignored it. When the man came to them, he immediately realized that he was not a family visitor. Because all the people in Jiang Chen''s team have their parents dead and have no relatives (self claimed information), they must not be relatives of anyone.


    The man was a middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious clothes. He was not tall and thin. He had a slightly long goatee on his chin and looked like a rich man.


    But at this moment, his small body was nipped by two tall men, Mei qianxiao and Jiang Chen, who almost peed. He was afraid of being beaten and his legs and stomach were trembling.


    "Don''t be angry, my Lord! I''m a businessman from Dongting Lake in Suzhou. I''d like to ask Lord Jiang Chen for something urgent. Now I''m in trouble for Li Tongrong to let me in." the man shook his rope.


    "Who is on duty today? How can you let idle people in..."


    Meiqian smiled and grabbed Jiang Chen and told him not to worry about it. The goods are unreasonable, but they want to cut off the wealth of others.


    Why is Li Tong "accommodating"? Well paid! It''s normal for people like Jiang Chen, who doesn''t often receive tasks from outsiders in private, to give some red envelopes to Li Tong on duty and sneak in to find people. Otherwise, how can so many people visit their relatives! Royal guards have no travel restrictions and can go out at any time. It''s so shabby to bring relatives to the inner courtyard. Those who claim to visit relatives are people who come in with connections!


    However, Gong Weisi will not be so loose that he can sneak in whenever a cat or dog gives money. If you can sneak in, it means that the goods are either rich or expensive. You must be a person with a head and face.


    "What''s your name? What do you do at home? Why do you ask to see Lord Jiang in private? Tell me carefully, or go to jail and wait for it!" Meiqian looked up and down with a smile and said in a standard official voice.


    "The villain''s name is Tan Qianzhou. His family has been engaged in tea business for generations. His talent is only more than ten hills..."


    "Wait a minute! Shouldn''t you... The tea you sell is Biluochun?"


    "Aha, yes, that''s Biluochun..."


    "Tan merchant! Ah, no, brother Tan, you''re my brother. You''re closer than my brother! Please come in and talk in the room! Xiao Jiang, go make a pot of tea and don''t neglect the guests!"


    Without giving Jiang Chen a chance to interrupt, Meiqian smiled and hugged Tan Qianzhou, as if hugging his own father, and went into the yard, leading him to the seats in the hall in the yard.
