"The old man is famous and has met the second lady. The second lady is auspicious."

In the small living room in the courtyard of the official hall, Qi Mingwei bowed his head to the superior Qu Minqiu respectfully, his waist almost bent to ninety degrees, he was extremely humble.

Qu Minqiu glanced at the pocket watch in his hand. It was already past eight-thirty. Qi Mingwei had been left hanging here for almost three hours, and it was almost time.

"Haha. Mr. Qi, please take a seat. Please come and serve Mr. Qi some good tea."

"yes."

The maid beside me left obediently and respectfully, and a faint scent of fragrance floated away.

"Thank you, Madam Second."

Qi Mingwei carefully sat on a chair not far away, sweat already forming in his palms.

According to his status, it is actually not too difficult to meet Qu Minqiu.

Qu Minqiu has many properties under his command and has a lot of contacts with the Qi family. In the past, even if Qu Minqiu had something to do and asked him to wait, he would definitely send someone over to let him know when she would be coming. But now.

, there is obviously something wrong with this matter...

"Haha. Mr. Qi, I'm really sorry. There are some trivial matters at the dock today, and Min Qiu has just returned home. I kept Mr. Qi waiting for a long time. Please ask Mr. Qi to take care of me."

Qu Minqiu's smile was very soft, just like a begonia flower blooming under the morning sun in spring.

But in Qi Mingwei's view, this noble and beautiful woman in front of him seemed like...his evil ghost.

"Second Madam, you are too polite. To be honest...Second Madam, today, I came here today because there is something...I feel that I must, must clarify it to Second Madam."

The tension in Qi Mingwei's heart at this moment was almost reaching its peak.

Even though Qu Minqiu didn't put the slightest pressure on him, Qi Mingwei seemed to be able to feel that the tall figure that almost covered the sky was turning his head indifferently, as if looking at a dead person, with an extremely cold expression,

Look at him without any emotion...

It would be okay if Qu Minqiu didn't see him today. At least, it would still allow him to have a little fantasy in his heart, thinking that this matter was nothing more than an accident. He would put it aside for a while, wait for a while, and wait for everything to calm down.

It's past.

But today Qu Minqiu finally met him, especially...at this time...

Human imagination is unlimited.

The calmer and calmer Qu Minqiu acted here, the more panicked Qi Mingwei felt.

According to Qi Mingwei's sophistication, even if Qu Minqiu is a female elite in the business and a heroine among women, how can she be able to compete with Qi Mingwei, an old fox, who knows everything about everything?

But at this moment, it was true that the person sitting in front of him was Qu Minqiu, but Qi Mingwei seemed to be able to clearly feel that the tall and handsome young man, with a big hand that looked like the giant palm of Tathagata Buddha, had been raised to his head.

superior……

Qu Minqiu naturally noticed Qi Mingwei's nervousness, and the corners of his delicate lips could not help but curl up slightly.

Li Yuanqing is really a bad guy.

This chain of events actually frightened an old man like Qi Mingwei, an old fox, into this state...

"Haha. Mr. Qi, you are too polite. If you have any questions, Min Qiu is all ears."

Qu Minqiu said, smiling as warmly as water, looking quietly into Qi Mingwei's eyes.

At this time, Qi Mingwei could almost conclude that this matter must be controlled by that big hand.

At this time, Qi Mingwei no longer cared about his status and face. Suddenly, with a 'plop', he knelt down in front of Qu Minqiu, and Taotao cried loudly: "Second Madam, I am old, I am so confused. I was blinded by lard for a moment.

My heart actually did something treacherous and unethical..."

With that said, Qi Mingwei did not dare to have too many reservations, and described in detail the several transactions between his family and Hou Jin to Qu Minqiu.

Even when it came to the details of the accounts, Qi Mingwei did not dare to be careless and explain the most critical transaction of 50,000 kilograms of iron between their Qi family and Houjin.

Qu Minqiu originally thought that Qi Mingwei was up to something, but he never thought that this old fox was so straightforward. Was he trying to kill a pig and not be afraid of being scalded by boiling water?

He was so straightforward, which made things a bit difficult for Li Yuanqing...

"Mr. Qi, Min Qiu doesn't dare to make the decision on this matter. Well... In this case, you can go back home and rest first. Min Qiu will report this matter to the Political Affairs Department immediately."

…………

This matter has been directly controlled by Li Yuanqing through Warehouse No. 3. As for the Political Affairs Office, only Shang Laoliu and Butler Ma know about it. With Li Yuanqing here, Qu Minqiu no longer has to go to Shang Laoliu and Butler Ma to send Qi Mingwei away.

She went directly to Li Yuanqing's inner study.

In the study room, Li Yuanqing was in a good mood and was practicing calligraphy.

Seeing Qu Minqiu coming over, Li Yuanqing smiled: "Minqiu, how was the result tonight?"

Qu Minqiu was speechless for a moment. She rolled her eyes at Li Yuanqing and hurriedly described Qi Mingwei's confession to Li Yuanqing in detail.

"Yuan Qing, this Qi Mingwei is indeed an old fox. He is like this... fifty thousand kilograms of iron is not a large amount, and it is not a good material, but it is really a bit tricky."

Li Yuanqing smiled, but he finished it in one go, and wrote the four characters "Tranquility and Zhiyuan" on the rice paper, "Haha. What, are you anxious?"

"..."

Qu Minqiu couldn't help but was speechless again. He simply hated the iron and said: "Yuan Qing, Qi Mingwei is so proactive today, we will fall into passivity. You~~, how can you not be anxious? This is ours

Foundation."

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly, put down the big pen in his hand, smiled and took Qu Minqiu into his arms, and kissed her pretty face hard, "Minqiu, our ancestors have always said a saying, which is to be strong without desire! Sometimes, being passive

It’s not a bad thing at all.”

Looking at Li Yuanqing's calm smile, Qu Minqiu had even forgotten Li Yuanqing's big hands wreaking havoc behind her slim waist, and murmured: "Yuan Qing, you mean..."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "No one is a sage. How can we make mistakes? When we make mistakes, we always give people a chance to correct them. How far can a kite fly with a broken string? Harmony comes first."

Qu Minqiu understood Li Yuanqing's meaning in a moment, and couldn't help but pinched Li Yuanqing's arm shyly, "Originally, I have been worried about you for so long, but unexpectedly, you also plotted against me."

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly, but hugged Qu Minqiu across his waist, "Minqiu, then I will apologize to you now."

…………

If there is a problem with the kite in the sky, it is actually not a problem.

The airflow in the sky is complex, and you will always encounter various sudden situations, but~~~, the most important thing is to ensure that the kite string is always under control.

Otherwise, it will be a mirror image, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

At this time, most of the Qi family's property and more than 90% of their business focus were on Changsheng Island. Coupled with Li Yuanqing's disguised 'residential surveillance', even if Qi Mingwei turned into a little bird, how could Li Yuanqing fly away?

The palm of your hand?

However, the other two wealthy businessmen did not have Qi Mingwei's decision-making ability.

Li Yuanqing gave them two days, but they did not take the initiative to come to explain, so Li Yuanqing naturally would not be polite to them.

The chief culprit was beheaded directly, the male Nakajima was made a slave and could not stand up for thirty years, and the female was made a prostitute and sent to various overseas strongholds in the Changsheng Camp.

But these things are so secretive that almost no one except the parties concerned is aware of them, as if nothing happened.

On September 28, Li Yuanqing, under the escort of Huang Guoshan's three thousand main force, successfully arrived at Nanxinkou Pier, and a grand carnival ceremony started on the island.

And just when Li Yuanqing had just returned to the official hall and had not had time to drink hot tea, Yang Lei hurriedly sent word that Wang Chengen had arrived at the dock.

Li Yuanqing had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​resting comfortably for a few days, changed to a carriage, and came to the dock to greet Wang Chengen and his party.

Qi Mingwei's carriage was still parked at the dock and did not leave the celebrating crowd. Unexpectedly, while he was in a daze, Wang Chengen arrived.

At this time, even with Qi Mingwei's cunning and scheming, he had no choice but to surrender to Li Yuanqing.

With Li Yuanqing's scheming methods, who in the world can still rival him?

Qi Yaoyao is still young at this time, but this matter must not be delayed any longer...

In the large carriage, Li Yuanqing poured Wang Chengen a cup of hot kumiss with his own hands, "Your Majesty, although this thing is a little fishy in the mouth, it becomes more and more flavorful the more you taste it, Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"

Wang Chengen also didn't expect that he would meet Li Yuanqing returning to Changsheng Island just as he arrived. He was in a good mood and laughed loudly and said: "Yuan Qing, this old guy from the Za family can't try too many new things. However, Yuan Qing

With your recommendation, how can Zajia not give it a try?"

Wang Chengen smiled and took a sip of the koumiss, thought about it for a moment, thought about it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yuan Qing, don't mention it, the flavor is really extraordinary. It's no wonder that these northern and eastern slaves are so warlike and good at fighting.

Already."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "My lord, I only regret that Yuan Qing was not able to fully stretch his hands and feet in this battle and allowed the main force of the Dog Tatars to escape. Alas..."

Wang Chengen laughed loudly: "Yuan Qing, your ability to capture Haizhou and hold it is already my first achievement in the decades of Ming Dynasty! This matter is seen by the emperor and the court, and the world

The people also see it! Don’t belittle yourself too much, for this kind of thing, your best is enough.”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "With the support of the prince, Yuan Qing will feel confident."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Back at the mansion, Li Yuanqing held a grand banquet to welcome Wang Chengen to Changsheng Island. At the same time, it was also the main banquet to celebrate the victory of Haizhou. The chief generals of the Changsheng Camp gathered together.

Wang Chengen was also in a very high mood and drank a lot of wine.

The luncheon lasted for an hour and was finally over.

However, Wang Chengen was not in a hurry to rest, but continued chatting with Li Yuanqing over tea.
To be continued...
