Mu Qing spent four days from Yuhang to Jiangdu, and the first two days were worried, and he only dared to rest all the way to the big town. Every time I go to a town, I have to carefully explore the route, I am afraid that I will deviate, but fortunately, Jiangnan is not like Liaodong and Hedong and other places, at this time it is stable, the official road is not destroyed, and it is probably smooth and unimpeded.

On the third day, she was eating in the inn, and overheard the chatter of a table of merchants behind her, vaguely heard them mention Liu Ao's name, guessed that they may have business dealings with Liu Ao, and then listened carefully, they were going to Jiangdu to sell goods, and those present seemed to have a lot of appreciation for Liu Ao, thinking that he was benevolent and heroic, fair in business, and had an excellent reputation in Jiangdu, and most of these people must have received his favor.

Thinking about this, Mu Qing turned back to the table behind him in surprise, asked them if they knew her uncle, and made it clear that he was Liu Ao's nephew, who had only followed him as an apprentice last year, and happened to go to Yuhang to run an errand for him.

The people at the table hurriedly got up and exchanged salutes with her, at the beginning some people were not willing to believe it, she said one or two things about Liu Ao in previous years, everyone saw that she was close to Liu Ao, who in private did not want to get involved with this wealthy businessman, not to mention that he could benefit now, and he would show dignity in front of good people in the future.

Enthusiastic for a while, the more chatting the more fateful, she boldly shouted to invite guests, because she did not drink alcohol on the way to business, she said that she would return to Jiangdu another day, to set up a table of wine in Qiyuefang, and get acquainted with each other.

[In this way, she borrowed Liu Ao's name and a table of meals, and she was able to walk with the caravan, and most of the panic was eliminated. Just sit on your horse, carefully follow the caravan, and then deal with their.

When she arrived in Jiangdu City, she said goodbye to them perfunctorily, and hurried to Qiyueju in a hurry. Although the curfew has always been neglected in the city of Jiangdu, since the turmoil in Jiangnan, few restrictions have been imposed, and it is late, the side gate of Qiyueju is closed, and the front door is still due to the presence of merchants and customers. Still wide open.

Mu Qing galloped to the front door. Hold on to the reins hard, the little guy who welcomes the guests at the door is already dexterous, and he has seen her before, and at this time he saw her flickering like a fire. The probe looked back and saw no second person. I know that there must be something important. Hurriedly sent another person to find Liu Biao. With a smiling face, he stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Why is the lady here?" ”

"Hurry up and find Steward Liu. I have something important to ask about. Mu Qing dismounted, handed him the reins, and walked briskly inward.

Before entering the backyard, Liu Biao was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and she didn't care about greetings, so she asked directly: "There is one thing, please also ask Steward Liu to tell me clearly, and it will be fulfilled by me, if you can't know, Qi Niang will definitely not stop." ”

Liu Biao's eyebrows twitched, and he doubted: "How can the lady say this, if there is something, she will tell her directly, and the old slave must know everything and say everything." ”

"Where did Keming go?" She asked in a cold tone. Stared straight into his face.

Liu Biao's face was covered with a layer of doubt, and he gasped with a "hiss", "Where should I start with the lady's words, the old slave has returned to Jiangdu from Yuhang, and he has never seen Ah Lang again......" Liu Biao is a shrewd person, and while answering, he suddenly remembered that when Du Ruhui entrusted him to buy the old mansion in Yuhang, he had repeatedly told him that in the future, he would obey Qi Niang's orders and do his best to do his errands.

The lady in front of him was still staring at him with burning eyes, he shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "The old slave first followed Mrs. Tai, and then took care of Ah Lang for more than 30 years, and dared to take on the credibility of most of his life, and there was no lie, I really don't know where Ah Lang went." ”

Mu Qing's gaze gradually dimmed, and he froze in place indifferently, hurrying day by day, thinking that he had heard his whereabouts, and if he hurried for two days, he would be able to catch up, but he had no trace to follow, he had clearly laid out a thorough plan, and did not teach anyone to know his whereabouts, so as to make her thoughts.

"It's getting late, the lady will go and rest first, and everything will be planned tomorrow." Seeing her situation, Liu Biao had to be appeased by good words first, and sent someone to clean up and settle the room where she had lived before, and went behind her to find the person who was waiting, and swept around a few times, but there was no one to see, only to find out that she had come alone, and her heartbeat almost skipped a beat, this lady was really bold and reckless.

It was night she tossed and turned for most of the night, her mind was upset, a few days ago she was indignant, she didn't have time to sort out her thoughts, she only thought about chasing him, and now she was nowhere to find him. The world is so big, or no one knows Du Ruhui, is it so difficult to find out a prince?

Every time he uses the reason of running a dot, he always plans to get her out of Jiangdu every step of the way, all because of this industry, if he doesn't have this net worth......

She suddenly had a jumping idea in her mind, the world is difficult, and there is nothing to make a living, the first two years have gradually closed the business, but it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the business, and when the world is stable, there will be a chance to show up. On the contrary, if you lose, if you are lucky enough to save your life, you can also retreat, and from then on incognito, there is a different scene.

The next day, Liu Biao was afraid that she would chase her alone, so he hurriedly selected two safe and reliable ones in the nursing home of Qiyueju and kept them for backup. When he saw her in the morning, she didn't mention anything about leaving, as long as he listed all the business and the current situation for her to see.

After a two-day delay, Yiying's net worth was displayed on the case in front of Mu Qing. It took her another three or two days to sort out the pieces one by one carefully before she summoned Liu Biao to share the steward with the public.

Most of the people have been idle for a long time, and they all have plans in their hearts, and there are a few stewards who are willing to take care of the business in their hands, and Mu Qing should be allowed now, and they will not be taught to suffer losses in terms of price. The rest of the freedom Liu Biao is out of the spot.

Liu Biao was a little embarrassed, and said in a deep voice: "Due to the current world, it is really difficult to find someone to take over, and the others are still easy to do, the discount is, only living in the sound and color field like Yuefang, I am afraid of ......"

"Le Niang and Wu Ji, if you are willing to redeem yourself and turn to a good family, make an offer to them, but if you have enough money, let them go by themselves. If you can't afford to redeem yourself, you can also go if you are willing to buy it near Le Fang. The mansion in Qiyuefang must have been coveted by someone for a long time, so there is no need to be arrogant, and ask for the price. The rest will be up to Steward Liu, and Qi Niang is never as proficient as Steward Liu, so she will never be an obstacle. ”

With her words, Liu Biao also made up her mind. Although she has been running Jiangdu industries for many years, she has a lot of feelings in her heart, but now these industries have already been transferred to her name, and it is up to her to take life or death.

This lady is not always an impetuous and domineering person, and everything can be discussed, but this time she is so resolute, it is useless to persuade her. At that moment, all the stewards said goodbye one by one, and each went back to make the account books so that they could be delivered.

"Steward Liu, it's all clear now. Only the salt seller is still bothering you to manage it. When there was no third person in the house, Mu Qing summoned Liu Ao and instructed, "Salt in the past dynasties is a fundamental tax, and the merchants will breed disasters for a long time, and in the future, this item will still be handed over to the court." For now, I still ask Steward Liu to work harder, and not to teach the people in the world who have suffered from the chaos and war that they can't even eat salt. ”

Saying that, she solemnly saluted Liu Ao, how could Liu Ao stand it, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold it. But she insisted on worshipping, as if saying, "This is also what Keming meant." Qi Niang is not for herself, only for Li Min to thank you, if Steward Liu is not accepted, teach me how to settle down? ”

Liu Ao had no choice but to bear it, and then worshipped, "The lady is righteous, Liu Ao is really admired, and he is willing to do his best." ”

Mu Qing nodded reassuringly, turned his head and looked around the room, "This mansion, is it Mrs. Tai's marriage?" ”

"Exactly."

"Stay in the mansion, so you can leave a thought. Steward Liu still lives here with his dependents, and the livelihood of this Qiyue dwelling, if there are guests, he will do it, and if he has no guests, he will be idle, and he will not have to pay the account for the business income, and he will keep the daily chewing expenses. She paused, remembered something, stood up and said, "Please Steward Liu follow me to the warehouse." ”

The two walked to the warehouse one after the other, and Liu Ao opened the three copper locks on the warehouse and pushed the door in. In a conspicuous place in the warehouse, there was a large box that Mu Qing brought out from his Gu Mansion. She pulled out a silver key from her own side and leaned over to open the box. The calligraphy in the box has been sold in the fight for salt.

She half-squatted down, took out a plain leaf red sandalwood box from the bottom of the box, gently rubbed it a few times, brushed off the floating dust on it, opened it and handed it to Liu Ao.

Liu Ao only felt that the sandalwood was quiet, stable and calm over the years, and then looked at it, shocked, and hesitated for a long time not knowing whether to reach out and take it.

"This is my father's dowry for me, and I shouldn't have sold it, but if it's hidden in the secret box, it's a dead thing, and if it's used properly, my father will be happy. I also asked Steward Liu to find a reliable seller so that it would not be dusty. Mu Qing held the sandalwood box and said earnestly.

Liu Ao took the box solemnly, closed his upper and lower lips, and nodded heavily.

"After collecting all the money and assets, turn it into a golden cake, take one tenth of it, and dismiss the guys for use, and the rest will belong to you as Steward Liu, don't push it with me, but I will never take it back." Before Liu Ao could speak, she said to the end, "Leave two more points, leave them for future or other uses." The remaining seven points are properly stored together with my father's posthumous works in this large box, and soon, someone will come to pick them up, and I will write a letter and the golden hairpin with a double stack of treasures. ”

Everything is commanded to stop, and there is nothing wrong with it. Her brain ached slightly, rubbed her temples and whispered: "Tomorrow I will leave for the Eastern Capital, and these things will be entrusted to Liu Guan." In addition, I will be bothered to pick a safe and knowledgeable person from the nursing home tomorrow and walk with me. ”

Liu Ao knew that she couldn't keep her, but insisted that she bring the two selected earlier, and originally asked her to bring another maid and servant woman, but she was too cumbersome, and it was really difficult to find a woman in Jiangnan who could gallop a horse, so she gave up.

As soon as the sky was dark, Mu Qing ordered people to boil a bowl of thick soothing decoction, added a pinch of golden flowers and fine spicy foam, and fell asleep after drinking it for a short time. She desperately needs a quiet sleep, and from tomorrow onwards, it will be another search. (To be continued......) R1292
