Chapter 145: Trading
As soon as he left Meng Shen's residence in Nanli Mansion, Luo Gong took Bing Wei out of the street where a whole row of rich mansions were located, and saw Li Xinshu personally waiting at the corner of the street with a few henchmen and Jinyi guards. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bing Wei was not surprised, and followed Luo Gong's side calmly.
After Li Xinshu and several people saluted Luo Gong, they went straight to the point:
"According to the instructions of the adults, suspicious signs were found in a grange of the Wang family on the outskirts of Nanli."
Li Xinshu brought not only people, but also horses.
The group soon got on their horses and galloped all the way to the suburbs.
When they arrived at a place about a mile away from the grange that Li Xinshu said, there was a high place on the hillside, and Luo Gong, Li Xinshu, and Bingwei stood on this high place together, and the Nanli Jinyi guards brought by Li Xinshu stood at several points on the high place of the hillside.
Li Xinshu raised his hand and pointed to Wang's Grange, and elaborated on the clues he had found:
"That grange is the same as the Wang family's grange on the outskirts of Zhusha County, the stewards in it are in charge of some of the vegetables and melons and fruits that the Wang family needs daily, the yield seems to be very good, every year to the harvest season, the original labor in the grange is not enough, so they will hire some more labor from the wharf or nearby villages, I heard that the treatment is good, and it is very popular in the nearby villages, but there is one thing that is very strange......"
Luo Gong looked at Li Xinshu.
Li Xinshu frowned: "I heard that every time people come back, there are always a few missing. ”
"What do you mean?" Luo Gong asked.
"That is...... Twenty or thirty people were hired in each village, but when they came back, the total number of people in each village was always one or two less, and no one paid attention at first, because those who disappeared and did not come back were all single-family families in the village, all widows, either young men in their teens, or middle-aged men, or widows who lived alone, and so on! Li Xinshu said in detail.
Bing Wei asked: "Have you reported the case?" ”
Li Xinshu shook his head: "No, I personally went to the government to confirm this, and Governor Meng definitely told me no!" ”
"Sold?" Luo Gong pointed to several villages near Wangjiatian Mansion that had disappeared.
Li Xinshu, who was asked, almost choked on Luo Gong Lingli's eyes, but fortunately, he also quickly checked this:
"There are five villages, all of which have been sealed!"
The five villages are neither big nor small, and the total number of people is definitely more than 100,000 no matter how small.
But when you think about it, things are very unreasonable!
Luo Gong said: "There are two granges in the suburbs of Zhusha County and Nanli suburbs, no matter how good the output of all vegetables and fruits is, it is not worth 100,000 taels of silver, even if the hush money per person is only one tael, it has to be over this amount, do you think the Wang family will do such a loss-making business?" ”
Li Xinshu shook his head: "No!" ”
If Nan Li Wang Mansion is so stupid and will only make a loss-making business, then it is impossible for the big people in the capital to choose to use Nan Li Wang Mansion as a springboard to achieve their goals.
"Check! Check it out! Anyway, after last night, Nanli Wangfu has already seen blood with the emperor, whether it is on the surface or in the dark, this blood is seen, and there is no reason to take it back! "Luo Gong and Yu Shi don't have many people in Nanli Mansion, only Bing Wei and Liancheng are around, and the Qianhu Station stationed in Nanli Mansion is undoubtedly his best help.
Li Xinshu was also willing to be called, and he knew that Luo Gong had always intended to transfer him back to Chujing.
As long as he returns to Chujing, his career will definitely be able to go to the next level.
Even if Pinfu does not rise but falls, it is better to be a brocade guard in Beijing than to be a thousand households in Nanli Mansion, which is far away from the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Li Xinshu led people to continue to investigate, while Luo Gong took Bingwei back to the Jinyu Inn.
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly and nodded to Luo Gong:
"Master Luo! Yu Gongzi and Lian Gongzi went out, saying that they were going to the famous teahouse in Nanli Province, and Yu Gongzi told the little one to wait for Luo Gongzi to come back, and then talk to Luo Gongzi! ”
Teahouse?
Luo Gong asked, "What else is left?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "No!" ”
"Do you know who invited you?" Luo Gong asked a different question.
The shopkeeper thought about it, and remembered that the little guy who came to invite Yu Shi mentioned a sentence:
"That little guy seems to have mentioned 'my eldest young master'......"
didn't ask the shopkeeper again, Luo Gong already knew who it was.
The eldest young master, except for Wang Zhongtong, the eldest young master of the Wang family who is related to their imperial mission, there is no one.
Even if it is Wang Zhongtong, then he has nothing to worry about.
asked Yushi to go to the teahouse, probably for Wang Shuhui's business.
I went out early in the morning, met Li Xinshu and Meng Shen, and then went around the suburbs and came back, Luo Gong was sweating.
After instructing the shopkeeper to boil a hot bath, Luo Gong and Bingwei stayed in the lobby of the inn and sat and drank while waiting for Yushi and Liancheng to come back.
In the lobby of the teahouse, Wang Zhongtong was sitting and eating tea with Yushi and Liancheng, and the guests who came and went around seemed a little strange that the young master of the Wang family had a private room and did not sit, but in this lobby he was crowded with them who did not have much money.
What's more, this teahouse is still the marriage of Wang Er's grandmother, even if Wang Zhongtong wraps up the entire teahouse, it is a matter of one sentence.
Yushi and Liancheng didn't know about this relationship, but the chattering diners in the lobby didn't seem to think about lowering the chattering voice.
Of course, no matter how much you press, Yushi and Liancheng are both skilled people, and their ear power is much better than ordinary people.
Even if you can't hear it completely, you can hear one or two, and then deduce three or four.
Yu Shi said: "Young Master Wang specially invited me here, there should be something you want to pass on through my identity, right?" ”
The three of them were at this table, and Wang Zhongtong's little servant Wang Bian took Yu Shi and Liancheng into the teahouse, and he didn't know where to run to do things for Wang Zhongtong.
lowered his voice to speak, and it was difficult for the other tables in the lobby to hear the conversation between the three of them, but the scene of the emperor and the eldest young master of the Wang family eating tea in the teahouse was in front of everyone.
Putting a little noise out is probably the result that Wang Zhongtong wants.
It's just that Yu Shi still can't figure it out, Wang Zhongtong deliberately did this.
"The adults of Qianhu have great intelligence, and I never thought of hiding it from the adults of Qianhu." Wang Zhongtong chose to be honest, and he also knew that he wanted to ask for Yushi's help, and he had no other way than to be honest and show Yushi with full sincerity.
Lian Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then swept all the teahouse guests in the lobby who were more long-tongued than long-tongued women, and when he looked back, he squinted his eyes directly, and said quite unkindly:
"Young Master Wang, what do you mean by this?"
"Liancheng!" Yu Shi called lightly and signaled Liancheng not to worry.
"Please listen to my explanation!" Wang Zhongtong also spoke softly at the same time.
Liancheng naturally listened to Yu Shi, otherwise he would dare to set up such an obvious set to use their brocade guards with a young master of Nanli Wangfu, he was really impatient!
Lian Cheng didn't speak again, and his face was not good-looking.
Compared with the jade, it looks very indifferent:
"You want to talk about Miss Wang Si?"
Wang Zhongtong nodded: "Although the fourth sister left Nanli Mansion early, as long as the family does not let go of their mouths for a day, the fourth sister will be in danger at any time." ”
Yu Shi agreed with this: "Well, just one of your family's secret guards can take her life, say, what do you want me to do?" What sincerity can you show to come? ”
"I just want to save the life of my fourth sister, as for my sincerity...... The fourth sister once reminded me that even if I get my father's reuse, I must not get involved in the affairs of the grange on the outskirts of the Wang family, I think the Lord of Qianhu and the commander will come to Nanli Mansion, and it is also for the two Granges of the Wang family, right? Wang Zhongtong directly threw the bait that was the most tempting to the emperor.
He knew the vicious nature of the Tongqian Zhixian case, and he also knew that this case involving a wide range of officials, otherwise the emperor would not have assigned Jinyiwei, one of his henchmen and factory guards, to personally go north to investigate thoroughly.
Yu Shi listened to Wang Zhongtong's sincerity in smashing Huanglong, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes."
The deal can be closed.
This is Yushi's answer to Wang Zhongtong's initiative to propose a deal for Wang Shuhui.
Wang Zhongtong drank the half-cold tea, which was a little astringent, but he didn't feel it, and the bitterness in his mouth was not one-tenth of the bitterness in his heart at the moment!
"I can be your internal response, as a way to help you find out the involvement of the Tongqian Zhixian case with our Wang family, but in addition to my fourth sister, I hope that Lord Qianhu and the commander can still save my family!" Wang Zhongtong made a further request, and his eyes were full of prayers for Yu Shi.
Yushi couldn't agree, Wang Zhongtong was sincere enough, and in return, she could only tell the truth:
"I can only promise you, as long as it is someone who has nothing to do with the case, I and the commander will try our best to save their lives, and I can't make any other promises."
Hearing this, Wang Zhongtong smiled, a little reluctantly:
"That's ...... It's just fine......"
The eldest young master of the Wang family and the emperor swaggered together to talk happily in the teahouse where the second grandmother Wang was married, and such rumors spread throughout Nanli Mansion in less than half a day.
When Yu Shi and Liancheng returned to the Jinyu Inn, Bing Wei had just taken a turn outside, and he also came back after listening to it, and told Luo Gong the original place.
Yu Shi approached Luo Gong's table, quickly sat down in the lobby of the inn, and took a pot of hot tea handed over by the shopkeeper who was very numb, she poured herself a cup and drank it, and moistened her throat first.
Bingwei and Liancheng did not sit at the same table, but sat at the next table.
Soon it was noon, and the shopkeeper served a table of wine and food to each of the two tables.
Bingwei and Liancheng's table was completely wine, and Luo Gong and Yushi's table was rare only tea, and the wine made Luo Gong call it down.
Yu Shi looked at Luo Gong in surprise and quipped:
"It's strange, don't you always like to drink and not eat tea? Why don't you drink anymore when you have all the snacks and food? ”
Luo Gong remembered that in the courtyard of the four-in, four-out house, Meng You sat in the back garden pavilion boiling water to make tea, and responded very indifferently:
"In the future, I will drink less wine and eat more tea with you, don't you still like to hold a clay stove, grind tea by yourself, and make tea under the porch at home alone, and I will accompany you in the future."
It's noon, lunch time has arrived, and Yushi, who has drunk a stomach full of tea, is so hungry that her chest is close to her back, so as soon as the meal comes up, she starts without saying a word.
was eating the tender fish, and suddenly heard Luo Gong's words that were abnormal, Yu Shi was a little stunned:
"Really?"
"Really!" Luo Gong nodded solemnly.
Yu Shi felt even more dreamy when he heard it.
I remember when I was still investigating the assassination case of Ma Ye in Beijing, didn't Luo Gong always like to add a little block to her, why did this suddenly become so pleasing to her heart?
What a weird turn!
didn't say anything more, Yu Shi felt that it would be important to bury his head in feeding himself, maybe Luo Gong was just a momentary convulsion?
Right?
Definitely!
People who obviously like to drink and don't like to eat tea, suddenly said that they would accompany her to grind tea and make tea in the future, which really had to make her think a little more!
Thinking of last night, Luo Gong, who disagreed with her resignation from the position of a thousand households, suddenly agreed, and offered to let her respond, she didn't feel anything last night, this will think about it again, why does she feel a little bizarre and frightened?
In the morning, I didn't come back from a trip with Bing, and the sky suddenly changed...... Well, she'll find a chance to ask where Bing Wei went in the morning!
She has to find the source of Luo Gong's stimulation, so that she can prescribe the right medicine, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with it.
Only by knowing the other can we win all battles!
lest she stumble into Luo Gong's trap, and then it will be too late for her to regret it.
The next table is not far away, except for the four of them who are having lunch, and the shopkeeper who is guarding the counter at any time, there is no one around, and the whole lobby is so quiet that it can be heard.
Therefore, the conversation between Luo Gong and Yu Shi, Bing Wei and Liancheng can hear it clearly.
Although Liancheng was a little frightened by Luo Gong's words that he was too fond of, he had also heard a lot of such words in Beijing, so he was a little used to it, and he didn't react much.
But Bingwei is different.
He was personally acknowledged by Luo Gong on the surface of the Shuige Lake, saying that he was happy with the jade noodles of thousands of households.
Yushi loves to eat tea, which is also a fact that all the people around Yushi know.
Thinking of it again, after transferring Li Xinshu's Qianhu office early in the morning, he followed Luo Gong to see Meng Shen.
Meng Shen still didn't show his true face, but as soon as he got out of the mansion, Luo Gong clearly told him that the person in the pavilion was Meng Shen, the overseer of Dongchang!
After hearing that Nianzi reported to his home, he actually guessed a little, and Luo Gong's words just directly gave him an affirmation.
He knew exactly what kind of person Meng Shen was.
The rumor that Yu Shi ran away as soon as he saw Meng Shen, he also knew.
At that time, he was entangled, and said in his heart, why don't two good men like good girls, and they both like jade-faced thousands of households?
Although Meng Shen is not a real man now, before he took root, wasn't he also a real man, how could he become a good man of Longyang as soon as he fell into the roots?
Thinking of the appearance of Meng Shen making tea by himself in the pavilion when he followed Luo Gong to arrive, he deeply felt that Luo Gong must have been influenced by Meng Shen!
And this influence, in the final analysis, actually lies in Yushi.
The two heads of this factory and one guard want to make tea by themselves, aren't they all to please the jade noodles and thousands of households? (To be continued.) )
