Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

The vigilance in Liu Xianglian's heart remained unchanged, and she only pulled Xue Pan to exchange greetings.He didn't disclose half of the matter on his side, but Xue Pan's side, he took out some inside information.But it turned out that the silk and satin shop had purchased a batch of fabrics from the Jiangning Weaving House before, but now when it was time to check out, they found that the accounts could not be turned over.

The Xue family is very powerful, if it is an ordinary merchant, it is nothing to be in arrears for several months, and they will not come to remind them.However, Jiangning Weaving is a department of the inner government, which is in charge of clothing for the four seasons in the inner court. It is deeply favored by the emperor, but it cannot be neglected.Besides, the Xue family now bears the name of an imperial merchant, and receives many errands from the inner palace every year.If this matter got to Shangguan, he would be ashamed, and maybe it would affect the Xue family's status.

It must be known that since Master Xue left, the property of this family was handed over to Xue Pan, and the situation has been declining, and gradually it is no longer what it used to be.There are errands from the inner government to support it, so there can't be any big mistakes.If such a fat job is lost, I am afraid that within a few years, it will be defeated.

When it comes to the decline of the family business, no one is as deeply moved as Liu Xianglian, looking at Xue Pan at this moment, feels a bit of sympathy for each other.

But Xue Pan was much luckier than him. After all, he was born at an untimely time. When he was young, his family business was completely ruined.If he hadn't been born with a free and easy temperament, he might have been destitute and impoverished by now.

So facing Xue Pan at this moment, especially "Leng Langjun" Liu Xianglian, he couldn't help but feel a bit of hatred for iron but not steel, wishing that he could handle all these things properly on his behalf.However, although he has been traveling for many years and has a wide circle of people, he has nothing to do with Zhizao Mansion, so he can only give a few words of consolation.

Because of this idea, the relationship between the two felt much closer, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

Then Xue Pan inadvertently mentioned Bo Yang, "I don't know if that brother Bo Yang from yesterday is also there, since I'm here, I should pay a visit." As he spoke, he looked around for a while, as if he wanted to find out where Bo Yang was hiding. where.

Liu Xianglian said, "Brother Bai doesn't live here, he has another place to stay."

"Oh?" Xue Pan couldn't hide a hint of joy on his face when he heard the words, staring at Liu Xianglian and asked, "I don't know what is the relationship between Brother Bai and Brother Liu, but I have never heard of his name, could it be?" Are you a family friend with Brother Liu?" As if afraid of Liu Xianglian thinking too much, he continued, "It's not that I can't trust Brother Liu, it's just that the most important thing in business is reputation, so I have to find out clearly before I can rest assured."

"Brother Bai is from Suzhou, so you don't have to worry about that, Brother Xue." Liu Xianglian said, "Although Brother Bai and I haven't known each other for long, we know that he is no different from my own brother. Doubt, I would like to be a guarantor for Brother Bai."

"Brother Liu is serious," Xue Pan said hastily, "Since you say that, I definitely don't believe it. Everyone knows that you, Liu Erlang, value love and righteousness, so I have nothing to worry about."

Even without the original plot as the impetus, Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan are somewhat informal in temperament, so after some contact, they both have a higher evaluation of each other.Next, Liu Xianglian told some stories about her travels, which made Xue Pan fascinated leisurely.

He grew up in Jinling after he was born. Not long ago, he went to the capital for the first time to travel far away, but that was with his mother and sister. How could he be as chic as Liu Xianglian, who would leave as soon as he said it?

Seeing that the morning would be wasted like this, the two stopped talking and agreed to go to the store to discuss buying cloth tomorrow or the day after.

After solving this matter, Liu Xianglian was in a great mood, sent Xue Pan away, and then left the inn, intending to find Bo Yang and tell him the good news.As a result, not long after he left, he felt something was wrong, as if someone had been following him.

Liu Xianglian has rich experience in the world, and I am afraid that he will be targeted by Xiaoxiao. Although he knows a lot of people in Jinling, he is still inferior to these local snakes. open.However, the other party didn't know how to follow him, and he never got rid of him all the way!

Seeing that he was about to go to Bo Yang's residence, Liu Xianglian thought she couldn't lure people over to cause trouble for him, so she decided to teach these people a lesson.Anyway, he was alone, if Jinling couldn't stay any longer, he could just leave.

Therefore, he deliberately chose a remote corner to hide, and waited for the other party to catch up.After a while, several people chased after him, and when they found that the person was missing, they began to discuss to find him.Liu Xianglian stood there and listened for a while, then she understood what was going on.It turned out that it wasn't that the opponent was so capable that he couldn't get rid of it, but that there were people watching at every street corner, so he could always keep up.

After spending so much effort, I'm afraid this matter can't be done well.

Liu Xianglian thought for a while, but didn't do it directly, but took advantage of the opportunity when these people went back to report the news, followed, intending to find out the mastermind.

Sure enough, these people soon joined up with a very sneaky man in a black cloak.Liu Xianglian waited for them to hand over, and after the others left, she found a gap, and took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, directly jumped out from the corner and made a move.

Because Liu Xianglian rushed over from behind, the opponent didn't even have a chance to fight back, so he beat her head and face.After finishing the fight, when he was about to go far away, he suddenly felt that the other party's cry of pain seemed very familiar. He turned around, walked back and took off the other party's cloak.Seeing his face, Liu Xianglian couldn't help being very surprised, "Brother Xue?"

"Ouch!" Xue Pan raised his head to see him, and was also stunned, "Brother Liu?!"

Liu Xianglian had long since lost her previous kind attitude, and stared at Xue Pan unkindly, "Brother Xue asked someone to follow me, what do you mean?"

"I..." Xue Pan was about to explain, but every time he moved his body, there was pain everywhere.Since he was born in his mother's womb, he has never suffered such a crime at such a big age, he couldn't help but groan, and even forgot the explanation.

When Liu Xianglian saw that he was "speechless", she couldn't help but feel great hatred in her heart.I almost had to completely change my view of Xue Pan before, thinking that although he is a playboy who accomplishes nothing, he is not without merit.At least he has a relaxed temperament, doesn't stick to those red tapes, and is quite frank and lovely.

Who knew that the other party's true face of Mount Lu would be discovered immediately afterward?In this situation, it seems that the thoughts he had before were all a joke.To be able to pretend to be good and come close to him, it shows that Xue Pan is so scheming.

"Say, why are you following me?" Thinking of this, his face turned colder, he stepped forward and squatted down, grabbed Xue Pan's lapel and asked sharply.

After Xue Pan was pulled by him like this, he yelled again, "Brother Liu, let go first..." Seeing Liu Xianglian's cold expression and ignoring his behavior, he was a little embarrassed, "I... just want to ask Brother Liu inquired about someone."

"Full of nonsense!" Liu Xianglian let go of him in disgust, "If you want to inquire about someone, why didn't you just inquire when you were in the inn, but followed me quietly?"

Fortunately, at this time, Xue Pan didn't have any romantic reputation, so Liu Xianglian didn't suspect that he was interested in her.It's just that the more it is like this, the more strange it feels.If it weren't for the fact that Xue's family had no connection with the family in the capital, Liu Xianglian would have suspected that her enemy had come to her.

Although he himself is not afraid of trouble, but now that Bo Yang is here, Liu Xianglian is worried that he will be involved.After all, he was the one who brought Bo Yang to Jinling, thinking that he would be able to make a deal, but unexpectedly there were side issues.

But it was not easy to explain to Bo Yang.

When the two were in a stalemate, Liu Xianglian suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, "Brother Liu?"

Turning his head and looking, it was Bo Yang walking towards this side, "I looked at you from a distance. Could it be that you came to look for me? I just left the door..." When he said this, he had already left When he came to the front, he saw Xue Pan who was beaten into a pig's head in front of Liu Xianglian, so he swallowed the rest of the words.

Fortunately, when he came out, he was deliberately led away by the crowd, and Bo Yang felt lucky.

However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw Xue Pan suddenly turn his head to look this way, and then he didn't know where he got the strength to stand up with his hands on the ground, and rushed towards Bo Yang .

Liu Xianglian was standing beside Bo Yang. Seeing this scene, before she could react, she twisted her waist slightly, raised her foot, and kicked Xue Pan back.

However, it was a hasty response after all, so although Xue Pan was kicked away, Xue Pan also took advantage of this opportunity to grab a corner of Bo Yang Muli.
