Chapter 117: Plan Ahead

Jiang Li glared at Sixi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sixi is a little weak-hearted. Xiao Xiang always ridiculed him for having no ability, but he was always suppressed by others when it was critical, Jiang Li experienced several dangers, but Sixi didn't even have the opportunity to show his kung fu.

Jiang Li glared at him and smiled again: "Sixi is right this time. Therefore, we have to be careful to guard against people during this time, and if we want to go, I have to go by myself, I don't want to be robbed and go to Qingzhou. ”

Sixi touched the scabbard hanging from his waist, and without asking much, he hummed heavily.

Xiao Xiang seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and looked puzzled: "Could it be that the master is causing trouble for himself when he comes to ask them for help this time?" ”

"It's not a nuisance. Qin Yuanhua must have sent someone to keep an eye on us. We came to the Chamber of Commerce just to draw his attention to Xiao Yu. Those dozens of boxes are like a piece of fat, since Qin Yuanhua is staring at that piece of fat, he will keep an eye on the Nanchen Chamber of Commerce. Let them fight, and we will have a chance to get out. ”

"So we don't expect Xiao Gongzi to help?" Xiaoxiang asked.

"It is better to ask for others than for yourself." Jiang Li's expression was very calm. "You go and tell Shopkeeper Ge that our plan has to be advanced."

"What's the plan?" Even Sixi was taken aback.

Jiang Li ignored it. continued to instruct Xiao Xiang: "You still have to tell him that I have to go to the palace in three days." Before that, arrange for Ge Hai to meet with me. ”

Xiao Xiang Lingnuo left from the side door of the Chamber of Commerce. Four joys drove on the road.

Jiang Li sat in the carriage and asked, "Is there anyone around?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Sixi replied loudly. The whip in his hand was raised, fell with a snap, and the carriage galloped away.

The carriage ran a few streets before Sixi asked, "Ge Hai is back?" "Hmm." Jiang Li responded.

Ge Hai is a veteran who is used to running the rivers and lakes, and he knows a lot of people, and things will be much easier to do when he comes back-Sixi thought so.

The banquet in the Nanchen Chamber of Commerce ended. Xiao Yu held on to the railing of the water pavilion and listened to Yun Tong and Chu Feng completely relay the conversation with Jiang Li just now.

After speaking, Chu Feng expressed his opinion: "That girl is the most treacherous, that batch of goods is obviously in her hands, but she still listened to Qin Yuanhua's arrangement and came to the Chamber of Commerce." She wants us to help her deal with Qin Yuanhua, but her attitude of being close to the fifth child will help us how much it will benefit us. According to me, I still tied her up directly, and forced her to find out the whereabouts of those boxes first. ”

"It's worth a lot of money, but we don't have it yet. Besides, to achieve great things, the value of a few dozen boxes of goods is obviously not enough. Xiao Yu said lightly.

"Yes, it's not enough." Yun Tong stood on Xiao Yu's side. "To achieve great things, we need to have a stronger economic source as the foundation. Nanchen relied heavily on agriculture and mulberry in China, and cotton and linen brocade became an important revenue of national taxation. Miss Jiang has courage and knowledge, and she has the determination to open a textile workshop. All the people under her are from the Mei family in Jiangnan, and the Mei family also has a fleet of ships that sell silk overseas. It is better to cooperate with her to make money than to tie people up. ”

Xiao Yu and Jiang Li looked at each other just now, and their eyes were full of affection. Seeing that Jiang Li had come and gone, he hadn't even said a word, and Xiao Yu still looked stunned until now.

Yun Tong glanced at Xiao Yu and looked at his stunned eyes.

"Besides, Miss Jiang Yunying is not married, and the fifth child has that idea for her. If they become a family, that batch of goods will still be in our hands. ”

"More importantly, at present, we want to seize Qingzhou as a foothold, and Miss Jiang's father, Jiang Zongjin, has been an official in Qingzhou for many years, and he has his old brothers in both black and white. These people have always been haunted by his death, and if Miss Jiang can convince them to work for our Qingfeng Village, the capture of Qingzhou will undoubtedly be much smoother. ”

Chu Feng stretched out his hand and scratched his head: "No wonder you have been instigating Lao Wu to take Miss Jiang to Qingzhou, but it turns out that you have so many ghost ideas." ”

Yun Tong stroked his beard and shook his fan gently: "If the government issues an arrest warrant for Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang will definitely not be able to continue to stay in the capital." She has cut off her way out, and may consider going to Qingzhou to develop. Therefore, Qin Yuanhua helped us instead. ”

Xiao Yu's expression gradually faded and turned cold. Yun Tong's high hopes on him were like heavy shackles, making him feel breathless from time to time.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a wry smile, "After listening to your incisive analysis, I know why Miss Jiang suspects me of having ulterior motives for her." ”

"Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be conflicts of interest. Why can't interests and feelings be combined? Yun Tong said.

"You don't understand a woman's mind." Xiao Yu shook his head and walked slowly towards the house.

Yun Tong was stunned on the spot. The same thing was said to him more than ten years ago. And she is also a beautiful woman.

Cloudy afternoon. Swallow Rock Pier.

Jiang Li, who was dressed in men's clothes, stood with Sixi. The two sat on the bamboo tower and overlooked the river view.

The wind was not strong, and layers of fine waves surged, slapping the high and low river banks, scattering into countless snow-white pearls and jade and retreating. Flocks of swallows fly low, and the air carries the damp smell of river water.

"It's going to rain!" Ge Hai's angry voice came from downstairs, and a series of footsteps sounded, and in addition to Ge Hai, there were four new faces.

"This is my host," the medium-sized Ge Hai saluted, introducing the four fresh faces to Jiang Li: "Brothers of life and death who run the boat together." Their surname is Zhao, and they are four brothers. Just call by ranking. ”

The Zhao brothers were fat or thin, all with the same dark faces as Ge Hai, with brisk steps and sharp eyes, and it was difficult to hide the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes in their gestures, and they saluted Jiang Li.

Jiang Li got up and invited them to take a seat. Ge Hai said: "According to the instructions of the ninth girl, we purchased a large amount of grain from the capital, and we arrived in Jiangnan half a month ago. It was these brothers who arranged for the grain to be transported. ”

Jiang Li looked at them again. She didn't know any of them. But she believed Ge Hai. The people that Ge Hai believes should also be worthy of her trust.

"My name is Zhao Da." A fat man dressed in a sailor suit is in his thirties. A hoarse voice.

"Miss Jiang's batch of goods, we stored them in Jiangnan Wanfozhai. said that only Miss Jiang could pick it up if she went in person. Zhao Da said.

"Ten Thousand Buddha Zhai operates antique calligraphy and painting, but also for people to store valuable treasures, in the south of the Yangtze River and even the world is famous. There is no precedent for items stored there to be lost. Although the identity of the owner behind it is very mysterious, but for the credibility of the golden sign of Ten Thousand Buddhas, I believe it is also worthy of trust. ”

The voice is soft, a little sissy, but the owner of the voice is a tall and sturdy man. He is the fourth eldest of the Zhao brothers.

When the eldest and the fourth spoke, the third lowered his head and drank tea, and a pair of chopsticks in his hand were casually clamped into the air, and gently placed on the table, which was a mosquito with one leg missing.

The mosquito was still flying, and he didn't look up, but listened attentively, and a chopstick flew out. The mosquito that flew out was nailed to the bamboo and wood lattice by chopsticks, and the chopsticks were three points into the wood.

Jiang Li had long seen that the four brothers were all capable, and most of the Zhao family brothers deliberately wanted the second brother to show such a hand in front of him. She lowered her head and drank her tea, her expression unmoving.

After Ge Hai finished reading the Zhao family brothers, he looked at Jiang Li again, and said solemnly: "Each of the Zhao family brothers has a skill, and the nine girls just tell them to do it if they have something." As long as they promise to do something, they will do it for you. ”

Zhao Da looked honest: "As long as you give enough silver, it will be done." ”

"The silver is easy to say. If you want as much as you want, just ask Ge Hai to get it. Jiang Li didn't want to go around in circles: "I've caused some trouble, and if I want to go to Jiangnan, I may have to bring some people with me then." For the sake of safety all the way, I want to hire you to protect us as we go south. ”

Zhao Da was not verbose: "We count the money according to the head." ”

Sixi took a step forward, pressed the scabbard with his hand, and glared at Zhao Da: "I wonder if my knife can be used for protection money?" ”

The third man of the thin bamboo pole opened his mouth: "If you can beat one of our brothers, not only will you not be charged protection money, but you will also be divided from the employment fee." Compare and compare? As he spoke, he drifted outside the bamboo building.

"Okay." Sixi stomped his feet and jumped out of the bamboo building. The second and fourth immediately jumped out.

Boss Zhao sat down and drank tea, his face calm. Jiang Li was also very calm. Ge Hai didn't mean to help explain: "Fortunately, the weather is not good, and there are not many people coming to the riverside today." Let them talk to each other. ”

Also, it depends on whether they are worth her life. Jiang said.

The three of them sat on the bamboo tower and waited for the result. After a cup of tea, Sixi and Zhao Er flew back from the window. Zhao San and Zhao Si came up from the stairs, the two of them panting slightly and their faces were crimson.

Looking at Sixi again, his face was slightly proud.

The results are already known. Zhao Da looked ashamed, and Ge Hai comforted: "Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry about it, my Sixi brothers' skills are not ordinary." If any of you loses to him, it is not because you are not at home. ”

Sixi retracted his complexion, "The skills of the Zhao family brothers, Mei Sixi also admires them tightly." Chengxian Kunzhong gave up half of his hand just now, and if he doesn't charge protection money, it's just a joke, and I ask Brother Zhao to forgive me. ”

Jiang Li spoke: "Two days later, you send our people here first and hand them over to the Zhao family brothers, and then pick me up outside the palace." ”

The four joys responded, and the Zhao brothers also responded solemnly.
