Chapter 22: Stability and Cao Gang Two Huai Affairs
"It's Ouyang Zi's sword!" Li Qiuhan didn't know when he had arrived, and walked into the hospital at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
took the Flowing Shadow Flying Rainbow Sword in Gongsun Jianwu's hand and looked at it and said, "Ouyang Zi has been the first swordsmith in the world all his life, but he has always been suppressed by Ban Chu. In his later years, he found a nine-day meteorite and spent his life casting two swords. But though the world knows that his sword is sharp, no one can do it. Ouyang Zi suffered from the lack of an owner of the divine sword, and finally died of depression. ”
Who is Ouyang Zi Wu Fengao has not heard of it, but the name of Ban Chu is like thunder, and the sword of Shang Fang in the current dynasty is cast by Ban Gu, the descendant of Ban Chu.
Li Qiuhan put away the Flowing Shadow Flying Rainbow Sword and returned it to Gongsun Jianwu and said, "It's fate that you can make it, but your skills are still shallow and you can't control this sword." Even if you can use it freely in the future, you can't rely on it too much, otherwise the magic weapon will be useless if it fails. In addition, this sword must not be used when practicing swordsmanship, otherwise an accident will either kill or be injured! ”
Although Li Qiuhan said that he was stern and cold, Wu Fengao felt that there was a little concern in it.
"Disciple knows!" Li Qiuhan came to teach her swordsmanship for several days, and Gongsun Jianwu regarded her as a master in his heart.
Li Qiuhan did not admit it or refute it, turned around and left.
Early the next morning, Lu Yuanhong came to visit.
When Wu Fengao was still wondering why he came, Lu Yuanhong was followed by two quiet and beautiful girls to the living room.
"Wu Gongzi, excuse me!" Lu Yuanhong said.
"There, there, please take a seat!" Wu Fengao said politely.
After Lu Yuanhong sat down, Wu Fengao asked: "I don't know if Lu Daxia has any advice so far!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm here to send this firefly silkworm to Wu Gongzi. In addition, the silk has been ordered to be combed and woven into a silk armor, and then sent to the house after completion. Lu Yuanhong said.
After the **** of the Cao Gang that day, Master Kongwen handed over the Flowing Firefly Tianhuo Silk as evidence to Lu Yuanhong.
"The Flowing Firefly Silkworm is covered and accepted, but the silk armor is still left to Lu Daxia! Such a treasure, how dare you accept it. Wu Fengao excused himself.
"It's really useless for Silk Armor Lu to come, Wu Gongzi is in danger and unpredictable when he walks the rivers and lakes, and there is more protection for this silk armor. Wu Gongzi rest assured, now the people of the world know that the flowing firefly Tianhuo silk is somewhere in Lu, as long as it is used carefully and does not show the rumors, there will be no other troubles. "Lu Yuanhong's martial arts have just entered the innate realm, if someone can defeat him, then it will be useless to have the flowing firefly heavenly silk armor.
Wu Fengao saw that he was thinking so thoughtfully, so he could only say: "Then thank you Lu Daxia." ”
"Wu Gongzi is too polite, this is what the subordinates have recovered, and it is just a return." Lu Yuanhong smiled and said, "These two are the two young ladies of the Su family, and they will be temporarily taken back to the mansion to take care of after the Cao Gang rebellion." Now that the situation has been decided, the two young ladies thanked their son for finding out the truth of the Su family's case and avenging their family, and came to thank them. ”
The second daughter got up and bowed slowly: "Thank you for avenging my Su family." ”
Seeing the two young girls saluting so solemnly, Wu Fengao was a little embarrassed, so he could only say, "What are the plans of the two girls in the future?" ”
"It's all up to Engong's arrangement!" The two women's models said in unison.
Wu Fengao suddenly felt a big head when he heard this, and looked at Lu Yuanhong.
Lu Yuanhong said with a smile: "The two young ladies of the Su family are pitiful, and there are no relatives now. I also hope that Childe can take care of one or two. ”
Seeing this, Wu Fengao had no choice but to agree.
sent Lu Yuanhong away, took the Su sisters to arrange a place to live, and learned that the second sister was called Su Hanyue and her sister was Su Manwei.
The sisters of the Su family have a gentle demeanor and soft speech, and Wu Zhong's soft words made Wu Fengao's body a little soft.
After settling down the Su family sisters, they left, and met Gongsun Jianwu and Shi Muqing.
"Beast!" Shi Muqing scolded head-on.
Wu Fengao had to tell them about the Su family sisters.
"Their sisters are really pitiful." Gongsun Jianwu sympathized.
"Yes! Falling into the hands of a big pervert is really miserable. Shi Muqing said again.
Wu Fengao had no choice but to coax the second daughter, so he went to the study to deal with the matter.
You Jie was already waiting in the study, and the Cao Gang Zhongyuan Hongyuntong was captured by Xingzhen. Now that the Cao Gang is in a situation where the dragons are leaderless, although You Jie has the official documents given by Wu Fengao, it is really not easy to control the Cao Gang.
"I have ordered the industries in various parts of my family to be suspended, and people have been dispatched to Yangzhou, and there are also people in Beijing to respond. You must stabilize the situation of the Cao Gang and ensure the smooth flow of Cao Yun. Otherwise, if the luck is lost, the emperor will blame him, not only will his previous efforts be lost, but his life will not be guaranteed. Wu Fengao said solemnly to You Jie.
"The subordinates must do their best to live up to the trust of the young master!" You Jie replied in a firm tone.
Wu Fengao nodded. You Jie has cultivated a calm and steady work for the Wu family for many years, and he will definitely go all out to get this opportunity this time.
Cao Shaoqin's inventory of the Cao Gang's secret vault was nearing the end, and a rough calculation showed that there were 9.6 million taels of silver in the treasury alone, as well as thousands of various treasures and antiques.
Cao Shaoqin allocated 1 million taels to You Jie for the expenses of the Cao Gang, and the remaining cash, treasures, and secret letters were loaded on ships and prepared to be transported to the capital.
You Jie took the money, first comforted the gang members who died in the rebellion of the Cao Gang, and arranged to take care of their wives and children. He also rewarded everyone who participated in the help, and then followed Lu Yuanhong's suggestion to increase the remuneration of low-level boatmen and river workers, and strictly ordered all halls not to delay and withhold. After personally killing several hall masters who committed crimes against the wind, the wind of restraint within the Cao Gang was temporarily alleviated.
The low-level gang members were overjoyed when they saw that the new gang leader was resolute and resolute, and the money in hand increased when they saw it. Although some of the middle-level personnel were a little reluctant, they did not dare to act rashly at this time, and they could only follow the instructions of the new gang leader.
In a few days, 8,600,000 taels of silver and thousands of treasures were loaded. Looking at the dozens of cargo ships on the canal, Cao Shaoqin was complacent.
The 800 officers and soldiers drawn from Nanjing and the more than 200 Fanzi from Dongchang each drove boats to accompany the guards, and ordered the state and county guards along the way to patrol the riverbank to strictly prevent mistakes.
On the day of the fleet's departure, Wu Fengao came to see him off.
When there were only two of them, Wu Fengao said: "Gonggong Cao has succeeded this time, which is gratifying. There is one more thing to ask for, and I hope that my father-in-law will help me. ”
Cao Shaoqin was puzzled: "I don't know what the son said?" ”
"The third prince is recuperating in Yangzhou, and he wants to stay longer, and he hopes that his father-in-law will be fulfilled after returning to Beijing." Dongchang supervises the world, and Zhu Jinzhao is naturally under the supervision of Dongchang, if there is no Dongchang to help, the emperor will definitely know that Zhu Jinzhao has recovered from his illness soon.
"Our family only heard that the third prince was sick and couldn't get up. Since living in Yangzhou is beneficial to the health of the three princes, they should naturally wait for the three princes to recover from their illness before returning to Beijing. Cao Shaoqin knew that Zhu Jinzhao had recovered from his illness in Yangzhou, but he never said it. At this time, the two worked happily together and achieved great things together, so they naturally pretended to be confused.
"Yes, yes, if you have Lao Cao's father-in-law, then I wish my father-in-law a smooth sailing trip." Wu Fengao got up and said goodbye.
"I'm not far away." Cao Shaoqin got up and returned.
After Wu Fengao left, he went straight to the Chengnan Pharmacy and told Zhu Jinzhao the news. Everyone was happy when they heard it, Zhu Jinzhao had been depressed in the evil palace for a long time, and he was free and accompanied by beautiful women here, so he was reluctant to return to Beijing. Imperial Physician Xue was also tired of the oppressive life in the palace, and had the idea of resigning in the future when he lived in Yangzhou. Now I recognize Fu Qingsi as a righteous daughter, and I live a leisurely life every day. The three of them are really like a happy family together.
