Chapter 303: Lawsuit (7)
Chang Yuyun's heart is bright.
This Master Liang can know the bottom of Wu Liming's private business, which shows that the two have a great relationship, so why did Master Liang go to the capital with Chang Hengmiao? If he stays in Mingzhou, he will not worry about money, and he has some fame, and donating an official in the future can be regarded as a way out.
However, Master Liang is indeed unreliable, he cares about himself, and he has no "righteousness".
Wu Liming probably didn't expect that just because of a few words, Master Liang would sell him.
Chang Yuyun didn't plan to move Master Liang immediately, and he was hoping to spit out some more inside information from his mouth, so he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Shui Si'er?" What is the origin of this man? ”
Master Liang chose "Toucheng", naturally he had to answer all questions, and told Shui Si'er about 1510.
Shui Si'er was born on a small island near Putuo, which is actually only half a day's water journey from Mingzhou City. The children on the island, good water, bold, very young to guide the ships passing by the island, including many foreign visitors, Shui Si'er is talented, even let him learn some foreign words, with this as a foundation, after he arrived in Mingzhou, he was very mixed.
After running the dock for a few years, Shui Si'er relied on this ability, but he also sorted out a network and began to start a private business.
Silk, porcelain, and jade are all things that foreigners like, and some foreign goods are very popular among wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, but the private business is to lose their heads, and without some background, how dare they swallow this elephant?
At that time, the prefect of Mingzhou was Chang Hengmiao.
According to Master Liang, at the beginning. Shui Si'er wanted to get close to Chang Hengmiao, but unfortunately, although Chang Hengmiao also collected some silver, he had no interest in the private goods business, and resolutely refused to do such a business of beheading and stealing his family.
This point, Chang Yuyun can also understand, Chang Hengmiao is not short of silver, nor is he short of ways to save silver, Chang family is from such a background, and he has been favored, why take this single-plank bridge that does not know when it will collapse? It has affected the whole family.
Chang Hengmiao was not interested. Wu Liming is a big lion. How could he miss such an opportunity? After coming and going, he connected with Shui Si'er, and slowly, this business was done.
It's just that in the way of Chang Hengmiao, Wu Liming didn't dare to make a big fuss. So all the time. Chang Hengmiao only vaguely felt something. But he couldn't catch the evidence, otherwise, he would have let Wu Liming go to prison a long time ago.
Wait for Chang Hengmiao to return to the capital. Wu Liming shook his position, and the place in Mingzhou belonged to him, so he was not welcome, and the private goods went in and out of a boat, and the silver fell into his pocket, but even so, his face was still excellent, and everyone knew that he was not clean, but there was no evidence.
Even Li Muyu came to Mingzhou under the pretext of worshipping the Buddha for the Queen Mother, but he couldn't catch Wu Liming's tail.
Master Liang took it all out, and seeing Chang Yuyun's solemn expression, he was excited, and said: "Fifth Master, I also heard some things from others to know about these things." There is a home-cooked dish in Mingzhou called white eel, which is fried yellow eel, and people in the capital don't eat it, but Mingzhou people like it. This is Wu Liming's favorite dish. Good fellow, after eating for a long time, he himself is like this yellow eel, slippery. ”
Master Liang was anxious to clear it up, but Chang Yuyun looked at it in his eyes and didn't say it thoroughly.
Seeing that Chang Yuyun didn't react much, Master Liang also beat a little in his heart.
Wu Liming, Master Liang can't look down on that person.
The nails are so deep, sooner or later the palm will be broken, and then it will be a mess, on the border of the south of the Yangtze River, but whoever worships Wu Liming, which family is not afraid and hates him, but has to continue to rely on it. It's just that everyone has a bottom line, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, and one day it really can't stand it, but it's just fighting to the death, saying that the people don't fight with the officials, that refers to the people who want to die, if they give up their lives, let alone Wu Liming, Jing Ke can still assassinate the King of Qin!
When Chang Hengmiao was in Mingzhou, there were a lot of staff around him, Master Liang was not one of the best, nor was he alienated, but he was the most embarrassing position.
But after only walking a few steps, after seeing Wu Liming's tricks, Master Liang was frightened, he had parents and a wife and children, what he wanted was an official position and a future, not a life to earn money that was not spent on life, Master Liang retreated, and Wu Liming was vain and wronged.
Wu Liming actually has a number, but although Master Liang is a grass on the wall, he is still "honest", not a big mouth, but the two have different paths and different pursuits, but some simple things, Master Liang will still do it for Wu Liming.
As long as it doesn't involve the matter of losing his head, Master Liang is happy to treat Wu Liming as a dog's leg, and in the big deal, Wu Liming will not talk to Master Liang.
When Chang Hengmiao returned to Beijing, for the sake of his future, Master Liang gritted his teeth and followed, but after going around in Beijing, he found that it was not a place where he could cultivate, so he took the opportunity to come to Jinzhou again.
I thought I could get Chang Yuyun's weight, but the other party took him lukewarm, how many important things, he couldn't participate at all, how could he get ahead like this? There are still Master Qiu and Master Bi in front of them!
Master Liang was a little anxious, Chang Yuyun didn't eat oil and salt, the only way he could go was to ask Chu Weilin to blow the wind on the pillow, but Master Liang offended Chu Weilin and the few maids and women in the backyard with heads and faces, and he ruined this way.
Now, it was not easy for Chang Yuyun to discuss matters with him alone, and Master Liang would not miss such an opportunity, especially when he knew the mind of the saint.
Wu Liming will be finished sooner or later, Master Liang knows this very well, otherwise, he would have completely taken refuge in Wu Liming, where would he leave his hometown? So as soon as he heard Chang Yuyun mention it, he believed it in his heart, and thought through that it was because of the lack of treasury in the war for many years, and he thought it was even more so, so it was reasonable to sell Wu Liming.
But it seems that he sold too fast, and he couldn't make Chang Yuyun feel at ease with him.
Master Liang walked back and forth a few times with a bitter face, and simply stomped his feet, and came to another fierce material.
Wu Liming opened his mouth fiercely. Shui Si'er hasn't turned his face with him over the years, firstly, because he doesn't want to give up his business, after all, he has to rely on Wu Liming's care, and secondly, hehe, Shui Si'er is not good-looking, but there is a girl who looks like a flower. They are illiterate and don't know how to take names, from top to bottom they are the first, second, and third sons of the water, and the girl is five. Once upon a time, it was called Shui Wu'er. After following Wu Liming, he changed to Water Dance. The tigress of Wu Liming's family is a powerful one, Wu Liming was reluctant to suffer a loss from Shui Wu, so he didn't carry it into the house, so he bought a house in the city to raise it.
Don't underestimate the house. Originally, it was the house of Wan Dan, a wealthy merchant of the previous dynasty. There are several cellars underground. It can all be used for silver. Shui Wu looked at the house for Wu Liming, and also moved some to Shui Si'er on weekdays, Wu Liming knew. But when Shui Wu was happy, he went with her. That's why Shui Si'er cooperated happily with Wu Liming.
Besides, the tigress of the Wuliming family, hum, if it weren't for Shui Si'er who could bring so much silver, she wouldn't be able to tolerate Shui Dancing, and would have knocked on the door a long time ago. ”
When Chang Yuyun heard this, he glanced at Master Liang and said, "Master is really clear. ”
Master Liang smiled awkwardly: "I only heard about this when I went back to Mingzhou to see my father and mother in the Mid-Autumn Festival." The house in the lower hometown is not far from the house where Wu Liming raises water dance. Don't hide it from the fifth master, he said that at first, he wanted to take Wu Liming's path, but looking at his things, he was timid and couldn't afford to mix, so he hid. ”
Chang Yuyun nodded and said slowly: "It's to dodge, it's all a matter of losing your head, if you don't hide some, it's a long life." ”
"Yes, yes!" Master Liang responded again and again, "It's not the old birthday star hanging himself, it's better to be down-to-earth." ”
After sending off Master Liang, Chang Yuyun stood at the table, groaning with his hands behind his back.
Master Liang is getting more and more wrong, the matter of Shui Si'er can still be fooled by the way he once wanted to take Wu Liming, but the matter of Shui Wu is different.
This woman is raised in Mingzhou City, if Wu Liming often goes over, Li Muyu must have clues there, as long as the identity of Shui Wu is checked, Shui Si'er will also surface, so how can the private business be hidden?
Li Muyu didn't know about Shui Wu at all, obviously Wu Liming was extremely careful, so how could he let Master Liang hear some rumors?
Master Liang and Wu Liming still have a relationship, but this depth is not easy for Chang Yuyun to assess, maybe it is the same as Master Liang said, he dodged when he lost his head.
As night fell, Chang Yuyun returned to the backyard.
When Chu Weilin saw him coming back, she asked Shui Fu to set the table.
When it comes to eating, Brother Lin never worries about it, although there are some distractions, but as long as it is fed to the mouth, unless it is something that is particularly disliked to eat, everything else is eaten in one mouth.
Fang's mother was relaxed, Chu Weilin was also relieved, and after removing the table, she and Chang Yuyun were gossiping.
Master Liang's matter is not suitable to mention at this moment, and when the lamp was blown out during the break, Chang Yuyun said to Chu Weilin one by one.
Chu Weilin was also surprised, and whispered to Chang Yuyun: "After this matter is over, it is not easy for Master Liang to stay by his side. ”
Chang Yuyun also thought so: "It's not that we don't stay, but we don't necessarily keep it." Once Wu Liming's case of greed for ink is investigated, the implication will not be small, what Master Liang has done for him, we can't say for sure now, when the time comes, maybe he will get in. Even if he didn't, it would be enough for him to be unlucky for a while. If he is involved in such a thing, even if he resigns, his father will not question it, but will approve of it. ”
Chu Weilin listened reasonably.
Their husband and wife have not resigned from Master Liang for a long time, because he is Chang Hengmiao's staff, and Master Liang tried to deceive Huanyi, which is unforgivable in the eyes of Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun, but if it is placed in front of Chang Hengmiao, it is not a big deal, Chang Hengmiao does not speak, Chang Yuyun cannot drive people out directly, but if he is implicated in Wu Liming's case, Chang Hengmiao will not tolerate it.
The next day, Chu Weilin sent someone to invite Yishu again.
Yi Shu was very surprised when he came, he thought that in another three or five days, Chu Weilin would be able to give some information here, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"The little marquis hasn't left Jinzhou yet, has he?" Chu Weilin smiled and said to Yishu, "It is also necessary for you to rush to Mingzhou again, and if you come and go, you will be delayed on the way." ”
Because of Li Muyu's instructions, Yi Shu treated Chu Weilin more politely than at the beginning, and listened carefully to Chu Weilin's words.
After Chu Weilin said Shui Si'er, Shui Wu and the silver hidden in the house, especially after the address of the house was clear, Yi Shu's expression was complicated, and there was some confusion and suspicion in his eyes when he looked at Chu Weilin.
Yi Shu followed Li Muyu to Jiangnan, Li Muyu worked hard day and night for Wu Liming's affairs, Yi Shu saw it in his eyes one by one, and knew that this matter was not simple, so after knowing that Wu Liming had some relationship with the Tao family, she contacted Rui Xi Ban. The purpose of coming to Jinzhou to sing opera is to get close to the Tao family and dig out some clues from it.
How do you know that it is dark and bright, the east is not bright and the west is bright, there is no drama in the Tao family, but Chu Weilin gave such a big surprise, she was so surprised that she didn't believe it.
"How could Madame know so well?" Yi Shu asked directly.
Chu Weilin didn't hide it from her: "A master in the mansion used to deal with Wu Liming, but now when he saw that Wu Liming was in trouble, he abandoned Ming and said it secretly." ”
"Oh? What does Madame mean that he knows the times? Yi Shu asked again.
Chu Weilin smiled, she didn't want Yi Shu to think that their husband and wife wanted to protect this insider of "Toucheng", and said: "It's just a wall grass, and our master also took this opportunity to find out the details of his personality." ”
Yi Shu is a smart person, and nodded clearly: "I will go back to the little marquis." ”
Knowing the leader, knowing where the silver is, when the four princes arrive in Mingzhou, there will definitely be a harvest when they are confiscated, besides, Wu Liming is not only guilty of private business, but also cases like those involved with the Tao family.
Wu Liming is too busy to take care of himself, the Tao family naturally has nowhere to bless, Chang Yuyun has been checking the bottom of the Tao family for these days, and there are many problems that have come out, not only the batch of medicinal materials in Haizhou and an apprentice in the Yongji shop, but also some other businesses of the Tao family are not clean, and even stained with blood, just because of the hard backing, the former Jinzhou Zhizhou received silver again, turned a blind eye, and this is free to this day.
Yi Shu explained everything to Li Muyu, Li Muyu originally planned to go to Mingzhou in two days, but now that he has a clue, he will not delay time and set off in a hurry.
Rui Xi Ban is still in Jinzhou, Yi Su went in and out of the backyard of the government in the name of singing during this time, and it was not appropriate to leave alone suddenly, so he simply stayed, and waited for Rui Xi Ban to leave Jinzhou and then go together.
At this time, everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed to the four princes.
Chu Weilin recuperated in the mansion for two days, and another guest came to the door, pinching the name card in her hand, her expression was light, but she was a little impatient. (To be continued......)
