Chapter 140: Into the urn
Li Guan's sudden question and calm expression finally made Ibis Yu feel a little wrong, nodded hesitantly, and said, "I went to discuss grain transportation with Qin Yu this morning...... Originally, I didn't plan to take over the matter of transporting grain, but Qin Yu said that time was pressing, since the Meng family had a ready-made convoy, they would simply send the grain directly to Jinan, and he could call the shots and give the Meng family three percent benefits...... Yesterday he had already given me a deposit of 300,000 taels of silver, and said that he would pay off the rest of the silver when the grain was delivered smoothly......"
Li Guan took a lot of effort to get up without taking the case, and asked with anger: "What about Uncle Meng?" Does he know about it? ”
If the ibis can no longer see Li Guan's calm anger, then it is definitely a fool, she is no longer as bright as before, and sat opposite Li Guan obediently, and replied: "The roof of the ancestral hall of my hometown was crushed by the snow, which disturbed the tablet of the ancestors, and my father returned to his hometown a few days ago to stare at the repair of the ancestral hall, and I haven't seen him since I returned to Beijing......"
It means that Uncle Meng doesn't know about the Meng family's business with the imperial court at all, and this is all her idea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Guan closed his eyes, feeling that a turbid breath in his chest could not go down and could not be spit out.
What kind of ancestral hall roof collapsed, she wouldn't believe that there was such a coincidence, as soon as the ibis came back, the ancestral hall of the Meng family collapsed, and Uncle Meng left Beijing so that everything up and down the Meng family was judged by the ibis! If there is no greasy in this, she will write the word Li Guan upside down!
But how could the ibis suddenly return to Beijing?
Even if someone can secretly bring down the roof of the Meng family's ancestral hall, can they still bring back the ibis language far away in the south of the Yangtze River in less than ten days?
Thinking of this, Li Guan frowned and said: "You don't stay in Yangzhou, wait for the beginning of spring to discuss with those landlords and tenants about this autumn's grain harvest, what are you going to do when you go back to the capital?" ”
"I ......," Ibis said's face twisted, and he didn't say a word for a while.
Li Guan's eyes sank, and he said, "Do you have something else to hide from me?" ”
"No, no!" Ibis denied it, lowered his head in Li Guan's fierce gaze, and muttered in a low voice, "Also...... It's not a big deal...... Two months ago, Jiang Bingsheng suddenly left Yangzhou, and he still concealed his whereabouts from the outside world, which seemed sneaky. I wanted to know what he was going to do, so I secretly followed his motorcade and followed him all the way to Tianjin. But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the boundary of Tianjin, he disappeared without a trace, and I turned Tianjin upside down and didn't find half a shadow of him...... About five or six days ago, I was hesitating whether to go back to Yangzhou or enter Beijing, when I suddenly got news that Jiang Bingsheng was in Beijing now, and I would immediately rush into Beijing......
"Why are you getting involved with that Jiang Bingsheng again for no reason?" Li Guan raised his forehead and said, "Then if you don't go to Jiang Bingsheng after you return to Beijing, how did you get in touch with Qin Yu?" ”
Ibis shrunk his neck and said, "I heard that Jiang Bingsheng lives in Manxiang Building, so I went there to look for him, but the shopkeeper said that he had already settled the bill and left two days ago." I was about to leave when I heard someone also ask the shopkeeper about Jiang Bingsheng's whereabouts, and I asked him who he was and what he was looking for Jiang Bingsheng to do. The man told me that he was an entourage beside Lord Qin, the head of the household department, and wanted to talk to Jiang Bingsheng about a deal. As he spoke, he complained to me, saying that there was a snow disaster in Shandong, and the emperor ordered their master to raise grain for disaster relief, but how could so much food be raised casually? They heard that the eldest young master of the Jiang family in Jiangnan was now in the capital, and it took a lot of effort to find out where he was staying, so they rushed over immediately, but they didn't expect that Young Master Jiang had already left......"
"You thought that such a good opportunity must not be missed, so you reported to your home to contact Qin Yu and negotiated this big deal?" She didn't say anything about the rest of the matter, and Li Wan also knew.
Ibis didn't understand why Li Wan was unhappy that the Meng family had won such a good business, and let out a somewhat blank "um".
Li Guan simply didn't know what to say.
Jiang Bingsheng is the person of King Changshan, although the relationship between them is not on the surface, how could someone like Qin Yu not know? If he wants to negotiate with the Jiang family, just go directly to Sikong Yuanzhen, and do he need to go to great lengths to inquire about Jiang Bingsheng's whereabouts?
and that Jiang Bingsheng, who is definitely in the same group as Qin Yu.
He had already found out that Ibis was following him, so he got rid of her in Tianjin. Later, in order to lure the Meng family into the urn, he deliberately leaked his whereabouts and led the ibis back to the capital.
They collapsed the ancestral hall of the Meng family in advance, so that after Ibis returned to Beijing, Uncle Meng happened to return to his hometown, and the only person in charge of the Meng family in the capital was Ibis Yu......
No, no, isn't there still her?
Li Guan suddenly reacted.
Even if Uncle Meng is not there, the affairs of the Meng family are still in charge of themselves! With such an important deal, will the ibis still hide it from itself?
And what was she doing at the time?
She's hunting with Sikong Yuanzhen in the Royal Hunting Grounds!
"Smack-"
The ibis was worried in his heart, and he saw Li Guan suddenly slap the kang table fiercely, which shook the blue and white twig plate and pastel tea cup on the table.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The ibis was shocked.
The people serving in the room also trembled and looked at Li Wan in silence.
Only Hewang, who was sitting on the Taishi chair at the head of Li Guan, knew why she was angry, and ordered Chu Fang and the others with a comfortable expression: "All stand down, no one is allowed to come in without me." ”
Everyone hurriedly bent their knees and quietly retreated.
Seeing that Li Guan's lips were pursed and his face was pale, while the ibis Yu who was sitting opposite her was full of panic and at a loss, he sighed secretly and said, "Miss, this matter can't be blamed entirely on the ibis. She doesn't know much about the entanglement between you and Shen Guogong, and if others have calculations or not, she will inevitably ......"
"You don't have to say more!" Li Guan interrupted her loudly, "I know, I don't blame her for this...... If you want to blame me, I didn't expect Yu Fengyao to stay behind, and if he couldn't negotiate with me in person, he secretly used means to lure the Meng family into the trap...... It was my negligence, and when Qin Yu ordered people to go to the surrounding towns and counties to buy grain, I should have discovered the strangeness in it...... When someone else showed me a play, I foolishly believed it...... It's all my fault! ”
"What's in the set? What is the play? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word? Confused, the ibis looked anxiously at the crane.
Hewang glanced at Li Wan and briefly explained the matter about Yu Fengyao.
After listening to the ibis, she was dumbfounded, and she couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, she stumbled and said, "Miss, Miss...... This Shen Guogong ...... I don't like you, do I? ”
