Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination

Three places! Pei Yunxiao immediately thought of the three wooden plaques in Xu Mu's study.

It turned out that it was not that she and Tang Heng didn't find anything, but that Xu Mu really only controlled these three places. The real big head is actually with Xu Rong!

Pei Yunxiao felt that Zhezhou's affairs became more and more interesting. Patriarch Xu's operation is really awkward, so let's keep it here to raise Gu!

On the other side, Xu Mu's fist was slightly raised and then lowered: "What the **** is Auntie going to say?"

"Cooperate with me, the private salt sales in the two counties in my hand are all yours. Your grandfather handed over to the Xu family private soldier in my hand, and listen to your dispatch!" Xu Zi said.

"What can Auntie get?"

"I want Cang slave!"

Xu Mu's feelings that had been brewing for a long time were instantly held in his throat, and he almost laughed, "Cang Nu? Cang Slave who was locked up by his grandfather a few years ago? My aunt was so deeply affectionate that she was able to pay so much for that slave. many?"

Xu Zi's eyes showed a bit of forbearance, as if recalling something in the past: "You men, you will never understand a woman's emotions."

Xu Mu heaved a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and finally relaxed: "Okay, my nephew must help my aunt to find my "missing for many years"...My uncle!"

Xu Zi then looked at Pei Yunxiao on the ground: "Let's go, follow me back to Zhezhou."

Pei Yunxiao remained motionless.

"What are you doing?" Xu Zi frowned, her face flashing unhurriedly.

Xu Mu said: "Auntie, this person is extremely stubborn, it's better to..."

Pei Yunxiao suddenly interrupted Xu Mu's words: "My eldest brother is still here, I won't go anywhere!"

With such a good opportunity, she can enter the Xu Manor of Zhezhou and leave the Xu Family Manor in a fair manner. She would be foolish if she didn't seize it!

Sure enough, with Tang Hang, who has a strong male lead halo, his luck has improved.

Xu Zi was taken aback and looked at Xu Mu: "You still arrested his eldest brother?"

The meaning in that sentence seems to be saying: Big nephew, it's a lot of fun!

Xu Mu's eyes were fierce: "Okay, you go with Auntie, I will let your eldest brother go!"

Pei Yunxiao didn't plan to get an inch, anyway, even if he didn't let go, Tang Heng could still run away. If Tang Heng ran away, Xu Mu would most likely think that Xu Zi did it.

Thinking about it, Pei Yun stood up staggeringly.

For the first time, Xu Zi's gaze was placed on Pei Yunxiao's body.

Beautiful face, thin body, waist that seems to be thinner than herself, slender legs... This young man, she is going to fix it!

Leaving the manor, Xu Zi took Pei Yunxiao and boarded the large and gorgeous carriage that was parked at the foot of the mountain.

Xu Zi lay languidly on top of the carriage, while Pei Yunxiao knelt to one side with low eyebrows pleasingly.

"I have never seen a handsome young man like you." Xu Zi said leisurely: "No wonder even A Mu was also moved."

Pei Yunxiao lowered his head and said nothing.

"Do you think that my dignified prostitute of the Xu family, holding the private soldier of the Xu family in her hand, is willing to do nothing for a lowly slave?"

... Pei Yunxiao really thinks so. With Xu Zi's method, how can he not be a love brain!

"Humph!" Xu Zi laughed mockingly: "You men, you are always so self-righteous. You think women are playthings in your palms, you don't need a heart, and you don't need a brain."

"Father, eldest brother, Xu Mu, and Xu Rong are all the same, stupid, and smart!"

"When the fight from Cang Nu came to me, I knew he was a spy sent by the old enemy of the Xu family. I just set up a game casually, and exchanged a Cang slave for the private soldier of the Xu family.

Pity my father didn't know until he died, that Cang slave, as early as he was imprisoned in the dungeon to threaten me, I killed him. The one now is just a substitute for death..."

"So..." Xu Zi raised Pei Yunxiao's chin, winking like silk, but hidden a sword: "You have to obediently listen to me and take care of me."

"I know that people like you hate men the most. I can save your brother without returning you to Xu Mu. As long as you are obedient, I can still... let you be on top."

Pei Yunxiao:...Fuck!

In this way, Pei Yunxiao rode Xu Zi's carriage into Zhezhou, and was taken into Xu's house by her.

Although both Xu Zi and Xu Mu are lunatic attributes, Xu Zi's temperament is very different from Xu Mu. He doesn't like playing the overlord's hard bowing, but wants to wait for Pei Yunxiao to surrender willingly.

Therefore, Xu Zi asked Pei Yunxiao to stay in the jade pavilion where she raised her male pet first.

This made Pei Yunxiao also relieved.

Thanks to Xu Zi for being able to enter Xu Mansion so effortlessly.

In fact, Pei Yunxiao doesn't mind selling her hue to Xu Zi, but unfortunately, she doesn't have that condition...

"Cuckoo".

There was an inaudible bird cry, and Pei Yunxiao had a serious expression, stood up and went to the door to observe a few times, then turned around and opened the window.

"Second brother!" Tang Xing swiftly jumped in from the gap in the window, then turned over, stood firmly, and flicked away the dust contaminated by his clothes.

"Big Brother!" Pei Yunxiao said in surprise: "How did you come out?"

"Xu Mu let it out." Tang Hang said, "Jinnian heard your conversation in front of the hall, and then Xu Mu sent someone to let me go."

"Unexpectedly, this Xu Mu is quite jealous of Xu Zi."

Pei Yunxiao shrugged: "The private soldier of the Xu family is holding in Xu Zi's hand. Of course he has some scruples."

Almost every family in the Jiangnan clan now has private soldiers. They were originally trained to protect the safety of the tribesmen because of the early wars. After the Dali nation was founded, because it relied on these clans, the law also recognized the legality of private soldiers, but only specified a specific number.

Of course, the clan will not obey the limit of the number of people obediently, so it also secretly raises a lot of private soldiers who are not on the list. Some clans are courageous, so they hide private soldiers who are not on the list, and use them as coolies on weekdays.

But some families are very courageous. The imperial court has regulations on the number of private soldiers, and naturally the weapons that private soldiers can master must also be registered. Then the private soldiers secretly raised by the family would have no usable weapons.

So those bold families racked their brains to smuggle weapons to replenish their private soldiers. In the family's struggle for power, these weapons were sufficient, and the powerful private soldiers also made a lot of effort.

Thinking of Xu Mu's private cast iron wooden sign, Pei Yunxiao can be sure that this private soldier of the Xu family should have no less weapons in his hand.

"Huh, what about Jinnian? Why don't you see his people?"

"He first settled the Chen Liniang, and then entered Zhezhou with Jinhe. He said just now that when he followed his second brother into Xu's Mansion, he found that the layout of the mansion seemed to be the use of the magic of the Qimen Dunjia, so It is necessary to investigate one or two, so as to facilitate the future." Tang Heng explained.

"Jinhe followed Xu Mu to find a place to store private salt yesterday. Later, the leader of the salt gang went to Chenxian, and he did not follow. But he said that he would stare in the city these days. As long as he found the trace of the boss, Follow it immediately and explore the lair."

"What else?" Pei Yunxiao smiled helplessly: "The location of the three salt gangs in Xu Mu's place has been figured out. Now it is the six in Xu Rong's hands and the two in Xu Zi's hands. .Clarify these and serve them in one pot."

"That's true." Tang Hang echoed.

"I was in the carriage and heard Xu Zi accidentally mention that the Xu family has an old enemy in Zhezhou." What Pei Yunxiao thought: "The Xu family hasn't been around for a long time, so their old enemy should be very powerful now. Find this Old enemy, it should help us a little bit."

While talking, Jinnian and Jinhe also sneaked in, and Pei Yunxiao assigned the task.

"Jinian is still protecting us secretly. Jinhe went to investigate the Xu family's old enemy, trying to find a way to reveal some news. My eldest brother and I still went to find the information in Xu Zi and Xu Rong's hands. Once we succeed, we will leave immediately."

"Yes!"

Living in Xu Zi's backyard is obviously better than staying in Xu Mu's manor.

Xu Zi is very busy. She is often absent from the mansion during the day. Even if she is there, she never comes to Yuxie.

Only at night would she pick a male pet from Yuxie to accompany her overnight. With so many people, it takes more than half a month for one round and one night.

As Xu Zixin's "accepted" male favorite, Pei Yunxiao's treatment is relatively special. Xu Zi would occasionally call Pei Yunxiao to accompany her for dinner. Although she couldn't avoid using her hands during the dinner, she would send her back afterwards.

It can be said that compared to Xu Mu, Xu Zi is really a professional ethics "funder".

This also greatly facilitated Pei Yunxiao to find out the situation in Xu Mansion.

Because the head of the Xu family was an official in the capital, and the eldest son Xu Mu lived on the mountain manor for a long time, only Mrs. Xu, who was Xu Rong's mother, as well as Xu Zi and Xu Rong, were in the Xu mansion.

Mrs. Xu lives in the main courtyard, eats fast and recites all the year round, and ignores the affairs of the palace. Xu Zi is still unmarried, lives in the east courtyard, in charge of the house affairs, and becomes a mistress. As for Xu Rong, he lives in the Xiyuan with his newly-married wife He and two concubines.

After understanding this, Pei Yunxiao felt that Xu's family was really muddy and chaotic.

The private salt business in the 13 prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River was divided into four shares, with two shares in the hands of Master Xu, two shares in Xu Zi, three shares in Xu Mu, and six shares in Xu Rong's exclusive possession.

Although the private soldiers of the Xu family are firmly in the hands of Xu Zi, the power of casting weapons is controlled by the three of the Xu family and his son. It is said that this is a "check and balance" left by the previous generation of the Xu family.

Interestingly, based on the little bit of information that Pei Yunxiao has tried from Xu Zi in the past few days, it can be inferred that Xu Zi and the Xu family father and son have reached a "cooperation". The father and son all thought that they could threaten Xu Zi with "Cang Slaves" in their hands, so they wanted to seize the control of private soldiers from her.

Patriarch Xu is far away in the capital, but he holds the largest salt market in Zhezhou in his hands; brothers Xu Mu and Xu Rong are also sparing no effort to fight for the territory for the right of family inheritance; as for Xu Zi, it seems that they are also dealing with the three parties. , Seeking opportunities to secretly expand the sphere of influence.

Xu Mansion is like a small river and lake. The four members of the family have their own minds and fight with each other, which is more exciting than the battle for power in the capital.

Right now, if you want to get rid of the power of He and the Xu family entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, the best way is to disintegrate from within. With the precarious plastic affection of the Xu family, Pei Yunxiao firmly believes that only a few doubts need to be released to cause it to collapse.

In Pei Yunxiao's view, Xu Zi is deep-minded and can't seek skin with a tiger, and Xu Mu is a complete lunatic. Then the best entry point is Xu Patriarch, who is far away in the capital, and He Zhengzhi, who is proud and energetic Xu Rong.

After clarifying the key point, Pei Yunxiao had a plan in mind. She immediately wrote two secret letters to Pei Hong and the emperor, and asked Jinnian to take it out and the flying pigeon to the capital.

Soon, Jinhe also brought back good news.
