Chapter 161: Planting Blame
Jiang Li looked at Dumb carefully: his originally strong figure had lost a lot of weight, and he looked more energetic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info has also grown taller, his eyes are black and shining, he used to look at his face that had never been cleaned, his hair was tied in a square scarf, he was dressed in green clothes, blue pants, white bottom, black cloth shoes, and the whole person looked very energetic.
With a stupid and slippery temperament, Jiang Li noticed a hint of weirdness, "You call me sister?" She remembered that in the past, he called her Miss Jiang like Xia Cheng.
"I just worshipped Jiang Ju as a brother, isn't his sister my sister." Dumb smiled so hard that his eyes rolled, and he grinned: "Originally, I wanted to call my sister-in-law, but I was afraid that you would be thin-skinned and scolded." ā
The previous sentence had already surprised Jiang Li. It is said that the one who is close to ink is black, was it wrong for her to promise Xiao Yu to take Jiang Ju to Qingzhou? It's only been so long, and you're so familiar with Dumb?
"How can I curse!" Jiang Li pulled a smile, his eyes were cold, Dumb was proud, and he had been kicked, "Sister-in-law is also called casually!" Jiang lifted his feet and made a gesture to make up for it.
Dumb hurriedly jumped back, hurriedly rubbed his legs, looked at the passers-by and muttered: "Miss Qianjin, like a tigress, she just hit people with one mouth." ā
Jiang Li ignored the dumbfounded, turned his head and asked Xia Cheng, "When did you arrive?" ā
"Arrived yesterday. Stayed at the inn for one night, and went to Mei's house early this morning to look for you, and the people in Mei's house said that you came to Luoshui Garden. We rushed to Luoshui Garden, and bumped into Sixi outside the garden, and he said that you have entered the east gate. So we followed. Xia Cheng said, his eyes swept to the other end of the crowd, "That's the Zhao family brothers that the fifth brother said?" ā
Jiang Li followed Xia Cheng's eyes and looked over, Zhao Da and Zhao Er were dressed in ordinary people's clothes, Zhao San and Zhao Siyi were fat and thin businessmen, walking and stopping, mixed among the tourists, if they were not careful, they would definitely not be able to distinguish them. Jiang Li couldn't help but admire Xia Cheng's eyesight. Yes.
"Is there a hurry to find this place in such a hurry?" Jiang Li looked back at the lotus pond, and there seemed to be someone sitting next to Mei Zixuan talking to him, so he was not in a hurry to go there.
"It's something. We brought a letter from the fifth brother. Xia Cheng said and handed over two letters.
One was written by Jiang Ju, and Jiang Li opened his brother's letter to read. Jiang Ju said in the letter that after arriving in Qingzhou, they bought the house where their father had lived before, and in addition to Jiang Gan, they also invited another gentleman to come to their home to give him a lecture. Xiao Yu also lives in the city, comes to the house from time to time, and specially finds two people to teach him martial arts, and controls him very strictly. Jiang Ju's letters are full of dissatisfaction and complaints about Xiao Yu.
Jiang Li looked at the corner of Xin's mouth with a smile, she was very satisfied with what Xiao Yu had done, such an arrangement was only good for Jiang Ju.
Jiang Li put Xiao Yu's letter in his sleeve, "You didn't come just to deliver the letter, did you?" ā
"It's not. There is an important matter that needs to be taken care of. Xia Cheng said, "We were in a hurry to deliver the letter, and we didn't have time to eat in the morning." Or you read the letter first. ā
Jiang Li thought that Xia Cheng came just right, isn't this just wanting to expand the workshop, no matter how good the workshop is with Xia Cheng, it can be built.
Jiang Li saw that Mei Zixuan over there was busy dealing with people, so he proposed to take them outside the garden to eat.
There is a restaurant outside Luoshui Garden. Jiang Li took them upstairs, and while they were eating, she found a place to carry the letter on her back. When the letter was opened, it was a blank page, and Jiang Li was stunned when he held the white paper, what does this mean?
I was stunned for a long time and put the paper back, but I found that there was something in the envelope, and when I shook the envelope, two red beans fell on the palm of my hand. Jiang Li remembered that when he was in Anyang, Xiao Yu braided the hair of the two of them together while talking, blushed, reloaded the letter and walked out.
Xia Cheng said after eating that Qingfeng Zhai got the news that the government had found out that they had purchased a large amount of pig iron and ordnance in the Jiangnan area, "Yuntong sent a letter to discuss with the fifth brother, saying that if this matter hits the Great Song Dynasty, the court will definitely increase troops in Qingzhou, and maybe this time it will encircle and suppress Qingfeng Village." The most infuriating thing is that we didn't do it this time. So as soon as the elder brothers discussed, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that this matter had not yet been reported to the imperial court, so let's go to Jiangnan to find out who was framing Qingfeng Village. ā
Dumb wiped his mouth with his backhand after eating a full meal, "The fifth brother said, we don't carry the black pot for others in vain, someone planted a false pot in Qingfeng Village, and wanted to make trouble for us, we have to find out the person behind the troublemaker, and we also have to give him a bad feeling." We are robbers and bandits, and we are not in vain. ā
Jiang Li nodded, so that's the case, "Just the two of you to check?" ā
"Of course not. We came a lot of people. Xia Cheng replied.
Jiang Li sat by the window, just in front of the corner of Luoshui Garden. Remembering that her cousin had been waiting for a while, it was time for her to go. But I still want to ask: "How are you going to check?" ā
"Fifth brother, let's follow the person who bought the citation. As long as it can be proved that there is another person who bought the citation, it is not about Qingfeng Village. Find out where the pig iron and sulfur saltpeter go, and maybe you'll find out who's laying the blame for us. ā
Xia Cheng looked at Jiang Li as he spoke, "Fifth brother said that he hoped you could help us ask, because those references were all sold from the Mei family's commercial building." ā
Jiang Li remembered the conversation between his cousin and his uncle that day, and his cousin mentioned that the shopkeeper in the commercial building knew some people who bought and sold the evidence, and maybe he could really help. So I agreed to help inquire.
Jiang Li mentioned that he wanted to expand the workshop and asked Xia Cheng to help with the design, Xia Cheng happily agreed, saying that he would take time to see the venue, and after the design was completed, he would send the artwork to Meifu.
So Jiang Li said goodbye to them and went downstairs.
In Luoshui Garden, Mei Zixuan was dealing with those merchants. remembered that the little guy said that Jiang Li followed the two young people away, and he was always worried.
After waiting for a while, I saw Jiang Li walking over with the girl, and at this time I saw that all the cotton and linen brocades were hung, and the silk brocades were all packed in boxes, and they were placed in front of the display table under the tree one by one. Most of the people who came to see the brocade were businessmen, and Mei Zixuan met acquaintances from time to time, so he couldn't help but greet people from time to time.
Jiang Li just calmed down and studied these brocades.
Not to mention that the southern brocade lines are more delicate, that is, the patterns are not the same as those popular in the capital, in previous years, the brocade that received the south in the capital is to cater to the patterns of those nobles in the capital, and now the new brocade is displayed here to reflect the latest local style. A variety of popular elements, a civilian design style, combined with the needs of the locals, these fabrics are still on display, and many merchants have already placed orders.
Jiang Li watched and learned at the same time, whether it was brocade or business, it was an eye-opener.
