Chapter 86: The City

Since he has decided to accept the favor of the little marquis, Hu Jiuling has no intention of being polite.

Everything is sooner or later, the Hu family already has manpower on the dock, so he immediately called everyone over, and ordered someone to go back to inform Hu Gui to bring more manpower over, and then began to move charcoal.

Of course, in this process, he didn't forget to guard against the little Hou Ye, looking at the young man in Xuanyi standing next to Ah Yao, he said politely: "The Hu and Shen families are very close to each other on the dock, and the Shen family will definitely notice such a big movement, if they see the Hou Ye, is it a little inappropriate?" ”

Of course, Lu Jingyuan heard the meaning of sending off the guest in his words, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he understood that some things could not be forced.

Although the girl liked him, the scene of her holding Hu Jiuling's arm and being coquettish and obsessed in the cabin was still vivid, and the girl had never been so close to him when she was facing him, after all, thirteen years of nurturing grace was there. Not only that, but that girl is still reborn, with memories of her past life, and her feelings for Hu Jiuling must be deeper under the guilt.

Even if he can oppress with force, he is just too easy to break, and if he does something impulsively, it will only push the girl farther.

In this way, it is better to retreat as advance.

So Lu Ping, who was standing on the side, saw a jaw-dropping scene, the little Hou Ye, who had always been arrogant and never knew what to retreat, had just happened in the cabin of the ship, "exciting things" had just happened - although he was not at the scene at the time and didn't know what exactly happened, but with his intuition of following the Hou Ye for ten years, he could know that it must be a good thing, such a moment when he should stay with the Hu family girl, in the face of Hu Jiuling's obvious eviction order, he actually agreed with kindness.

"What Master Hu said is reasonable, there are still important things to do, so I will leave first."

Not only agreed, but also consciously found a good step, is this still the little marquis with his eyes above the top?

"Brother Jing is leaving?" There was some imperceptible reluctance in her heart, and Ah Yao hurriedly said, "I'll send you out of the dock." ”

I see, I want to transfer Miss Hu away from Master Hu. Thinking of the scene in front of the shop in the south of the city a few days ago, the little marquis directly picked up the Hu family girl on the horse, and then the two of them rode together to swagger through the city, and finally stayed outside alone for a long time, Lu Ping felt that he had realized in his heart.

is worthy of being a wise and martial little marquis, and even the means of pursuing the girl are so high.

Out of brainless reverence for the little marquis, this will make up for Lu Ping's gorgeous brain. In addition to him, there was another person present who also thought of going to a place with him, and that was Hu Jiuling, who loved his daughter like his life and regarded the little marquis as his biggest enemy.

"Just leave the matter of sending the Hou Ye to others, let's go too blind. Ah Yao will stay first, just today is full of people, Daddy will tell you about the dispatch of merchant ships. ”

This old fox is really an eyesore. When Ah Yao proposed to send him off, Lu Jingyuan had already thought about the topography of several entrances to the pier, and really let him find a relatively secret place. There were some things in the cabin that weren't clear enough, and he had to strike while the iron was hot. But Hu Jiuling's words disrupted his entire plan.

With some irritability in his heart, he looked at Ah Yao thoughtfully.

Just as Ah Yao looked up, she looked at each other with a little apology.

"It's true that I'm not thoughtful, so I'll follow Daddy."

My girl, of course listen to me, straightened her chest and looked at Lu Jingyuan. Favors are favors, but it doesn't mean that he will avoid the little marquis everywhere because of this favor.

Calling the little guy next to him with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he solemnly instructed him to lead the Hou Ye out of the dock.

Finally sent the person away, Hu Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief. Taking Yao aboard the boat, he led her to the steward on the dock, and then stood at the bow of the boat and personally pointed out to the various boats moored nearby.

Although it was to support the little marquis just now, Hu Jiuling's desire to hand over Ayao's merchant ship dispatch was real. On the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, he said every word from the bottom of his heart, the Hu family is only such a girl, and the future industry will not be hers? Ah Yao was not interested in these before, and he didn't have no regrets in his heart, but he still planned to focus on her happiness. And after she had a sudden adventure and decided to take over the family business, although she was distressed by her encounters, she was not glad that the Hu family finally had a successor. Since Ah Yao wants to learn, he must pass on his life experience.

Hu Jiuling's fatherly heart for A-Yao can be summed up in one sentence: As long as you want, as long as I have it.

This will introduce Ah Yao to the dock steward one by one, which is the chief manager, which one is in charge of which ships, and the words are very detailed. As for the steward, he only had one sentence: "What the girl commands in the future is my command." ”

With Daddy's introduction, Ah Yao nodded to them one by one. Although she smiled, she always had some doubts in her heart.

In his previous life, Daddy encountered bandits on the way to Beijing with the fleet, and then all the bones of the Hu family were gone. These people in front of you......

As soon as she was puzzled, she saw a familiar figure hurrying behind her.

"It's you!"

"The little one is picking up the people brought by Hu Guiguan's family, and he is a step late, so please forgive the lord and the girl."

The person who comes looks loyal and honest, this will be sweating profusely, and he will keep fighting. And his bending action reminded Ah Yao of a familiar episode in her memory in her previous life, when she was exhausted and sold her ancestral house to accompany Song Qinwen to Beijing to take the exam. When boarding the boat at Jianhu Wharf, I saw this person bowing his head and following Shen Jinshan.

"He's an undercover agent of the Shen family!"

The loyal man's pupils suddenly dilated, and he knelt down with a plop, "Girl, you are wronged." ”

Between the dock steward and his beloved daughter, it is natural that Hu Jiuling will choose who to believe, naturally. Since inquiring about A-Yao's rebirth, he has combed through the following manpower on the grounds of rectifying the shop, and he has really found a lot of Shen family details. It's just that his energy is limited, and he has a lot of things to do recently, so he hasn't had time to manage the dock for a while.

This will make Ah Yao his head, and he will naturally continue.

"Go to someone, find out what he just did."

has been in charge of the family for many years, Hu Jiuling has absolute authority in the Hu family, even if the other stewards are in the clouds, they will still immediately order someone to investigate. There is no such thing as an impermeable wall, let alone a small steward of little importance. Someone soon found out, and just took advantage of the opportunity to wait for Hu Gui, this person walked away for a while, and he had appeared at the Shen family wharf next to him and said a few words to the Shen family.

The iron-clad facts are in front of us, and they are denied by the disloyal and cheeky man.

"Lord, girl, the little one is also forced. The small family has a son who is a good gambler, and last time he owed a huge debt in the casino, he happened to be rescued by the Shen family girl, and since then she has been holding the little one hostage. Such a large sum of silver, even if the small one is bankrupt, he can't afford to pay for it, so he can only listen to them. ”

It's Shen Moci again! Thinking of Shen Moci, who suddenly disappeared after the apprenticeship ceremony, Ah Yao always felt that there was a poisonous tongue behind her back spitting out a letter, and she would pounce on her and bite herself at any time when she found the right time.

I have to let someone find Shen Moci, at least I can't let her stay in the dark all the time, Ah Yao silently kept this thought in her heart.

"There's Daddy there."

Looking at Ah Yao's suddenly frowning brows, Hu Jiuling gently patted her shoulder and said comfortingly.

By the way, there is also Daddy by his side, not only Daddy, but also Brother Jing, thinking of this Ah Yao, I only felt that the coolness behind her instantly dissipated, and my heart was warm.

The heart is stable and steady, and Ah Yao gradually recovers her ability to think.

"Daddy, now this boat of charcoal probably can't be hidden, I don't know if Brother Jing's side will be implicated, and if the Shen family's side will be on guard."

The loyal and cheeky man hurriedly said: "Even if you borrow a thousand small guts, you don't dare to arrange the little marquis at will." ”

Then it has nothing to do with Brother Jing, let go of half of her worries, Ah Yao turned her head to look at Daddy.

"Daddy, the Shen family has bullied the door several times, and my Hu family can't always sit still like this. Since they will know sooner or later, why don't we strike first? ”

"First?" Hu Jiuling looked at her expectantly.

"My daughter wants to, let's beat the gong and drum directly, and tell the Shen family openly."

Then Shen Jinshan must not be angry? Expecting this scene, Hu Jiuling nodded in agreement without thinking about it. Just as Hu Gui arrived at the dock and handed over the people he brought to the dock steward, he turned back non-stop, ready to beat the gongs and drums. At the same time, Hu Jiuling was not idle, and with the betrayal of the loyal and cheeky man, he immediately began to thoroughly investigate these big and small stewards on the dock.

Hades was easy to provoke, and the little ghosts were difficult, so first he called the chief steward to the room, explained the pros and cons to him, and talked openly and honestly.

"The Hu and Shen families have been fighting for many years, and you should know this very well when you manage the dock. You are also my Hu family, and you know what the consequences will be if the Shen family gains the upper hand, this is a matter of both prosperity and loss. In fact, I don't expect everyone on this dock to be dead set on the Hu family, but at least there will be a * not far from ten. Otherwise, every time the silk is escorted, even the safety of the fleet will be a problem, isn't it? I don't blame you for today's events, a wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and you are in charge of so many things, there will always be a time when you can't take care of it. This side of the dock has not been moved for more than ten years, and some people have begun to slack off, so it's time to clean it up. In your opinion, who are not right-minded? ”

The one who can be the chief steward of the dock must be Hu Jiuling's confidant, and he will not be too stupid. is in charge of this part all day long, and he also knows a little about the temperament of those people under him. Today, such an ugly thing happened in front of the old man, and he felt shameless. Hearing that the old man was so honest and to the point, he naturally told what he saw on weekdays.

After listening, Hu Jiuling nodded: "Well, I probably have a number." There's still something going on outside, you go get busy first, don't let this affect the business. ”

As the shopkeeper saluted tremblingly and retreated to the door, he suddenly opened his mouth and called a few names, "Call these first." ”

The people the master called were all people he had just suspected. The shopkeeper sighed in his heart, thinking of the transfer of manpower in the shop a while ago, and knew that this time the master was going to move seriously. Thinking of the Shen family's girl's wooing in the past few years, he was even a little shaken some time ago. And now he is glad that he has not wavered, although the Shen family has given more money, but the master has never treated him badly, and now he is not short of wealth.
