Chapter 537

"I heard that many of them are from Diaochan's hometown."

"And they all occupy important positions; how can this be?"

"If there is a struggle in the future, how can you win, Yi'er?"

"So I say, sometimes, one's own family is more reliable..." Niu Yaodi's words were pointed: "Yi'er, the Marquis is a hero, it is true, but he relied heavily on our Dong clan in the beginning."

"Therefore, Yi'er should also be more vigilant."

"Some things must be kept in your own hands."

"You must also cultivate your own power so that you can ensure your position in the future will not be shaken."

Dong Huang, sitting on the side, did not interrupt.

But he felt that what Niu Yaodi said made some sense.

But Dong Yi didn't want to pay attention to what Niu Yaodi said at all.

"Sister-in-law, what you said are all the Marquis's political affairs; as a wife, I should not interfere in these matters." Dong Yi replied.

"Eh, how can these be political affairs." Niu Yaodi said: "That day... didn't I hear in the hall that it was about your salt trading?"

"This is what I think."

"The salt field in Hedong is now under your father's governance; how can outsiders interfere in such matters?"

"If it were handed over to our own family, wouldn't it be more stable?"

Dong Yi suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes staring at Niu Yaodi.

While speaking, the carriage had already reached the east gate of Jixian.

"My Lady, we have arrived." The maid outside the carriage reminded.

Dong Yi nodded, then stood up and walked out of the carriage through the open door.

As she stepped off the carriage, Dong Yi looked back at Niu Yaodi and said pointedly: "Sister-in-law, have you ever heard that a bird that flies high dies from greed, and a fish in a deep pool dies from the fragrant bait?"

Niu Yaodi, who was about to step off the carriage, was stunned.

She looked at Dong Yi in confusion: "Yi'er, what do you mean by that?"

On the horizon in the distance of Jixian, the sound of galloping cavalry arose.

Thousands of warhorses, with the sound of thundering hooves, headed toward Jixian.

And among the cavalry, there were also prison carts crowded with people.

On the other side, beside Diaochan's carriage, Liu Bai Tu, dressed in a black robe, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, turned his head and looked coldly at Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang.

A moment later, the vanguard of Duan Yu's cavalry had arrived at the east gate of Jixian.

Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao led over a hundred riders straight to the east gate of Jixian.

Following an order issued by Chen Qing'an.

Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang were stunned on the spot.

"The Marquis has ordered the arrest of the criminal woman Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang!" ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
